Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 751 Successive Breakthroughs
Five thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. The human world and the universe were at peace, and nothing major happened again. In the Great Luo Immortal Mountain, the Moral Celestial Venerable finally succeeded in reaching the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm, and could not advance any further.

From the time he became a mortal immortal until now, 140,000 years have passed. Although it took him such a long time to reach the peak of this realm, the speed was actually quite fast.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that he achieved the Mortal Immortal Body as soon as he became a Mortal Immortal, which is a success that surpasses that of cultivators who have just entered the Mortal Immortal realm.

Liang Yu had already informed them of all the stages of the Immortal of the Mortal World, and they had also received further supplements from the Primordial Celestial Venerable. Therefore, the Moral Celestial Venerable could confirm that his current state was the peak of the Immortal of the Mortal World realm in a general sense.

Reaching this point means that if he wants to continue to improve, he either needs to break through to the Immortal King realm or try to break through the limits of this realm and reach the pinnacle of immortality.

Previously, the Celestial Venerable of Morality thought that even if he could not reach the pinnacle of immortality, he could at least try to break through this barrier. However, after studying his current state in depth, he realized that he had reached his limit and could not see any way to continue to improve within this realm.

This means that the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm is his upper limit, and he has no possibility of breaking through to this level.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality was naturally somewhat moved by this result, but he did not dwell on it too much. Instead, he quickly put it aside and continued to face his next step of cultivation with a calm mind. He focused his main attention on researching a brand-new sixth secret realm, and only devoted a small part of his energy to exploring his own boundaries.

This was a direction he had already determined beforehand, and he had even achieved some results. However, since his primary goal was to explore the realm of immortals in the mortal world, this was only now that he had truly made it his official direction.

At that very moment, as if by prior arrangement, Lingbao Tianzun also reached the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm, allowing himself to achieve further perfection.

However, like the Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure was also trapped in this realm, unable to see how to continue to progress.

Lingbao Tianzun was not so nonchalant about this situation. Although he shifted his focus to creating the sixth secret realm and perfecting and deducing the field method, he still devoted a lot of time and energy to studying how to break through this barrier.

And so, they fell silent once again.

Yuanshi Tianzun had already reached this state, and Wuji Tianzun had even far surpassed it. Therefore, neither of them was particularly excited. Thus, only Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun sensed the change in their aura.

Of course, Liang Yu was now at a crucial juncture in the construction of the sixth secret realm, and success was within reach. Therefore, he only briefly diverted his attention before returning to his cultivation.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, he is also at a critical juncture and naturally has no time to pay attention to it.

And so, another five thousand years passed.

Over these ten thousand years, the Celestial Venerable of Morality realized in his cultivation that he could no longer make any progress, and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure also failed to make any progress beyond his peak.

Just as they were about to give up completely, both the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure sensed the message from the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning. So they suspended their seclusion and went to the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

The message from Yuanshi Tianzun was simple: he wanted to attempt to break through to the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm in order to undergo his final ascension.

Although the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure had largely accepted reality and intended to cease any further attempts to break through in the realm of immortals in the mortal world, they still wanted to observe the attempts made by the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning. After the Celestial Venerable of Limitless Ultimate became the Great Celestial Venerable, subtly surpassing others, the three of them gradually became the pinnacle figures of the mythological era, and the mutual influence among them was quite significant.

Although the breakthrough of the Primordial Celestial Venerable may not necessarily lead to a breakthrough for them, they can at least gain some experience.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, they have visited Kunlun Sacred Realm many times, so this time they were quite familiar with it and went directly to the top of Kunlun Sacred Realm.

Upon sensing their arrival, Yuanshi Tianzun did not greet them and immediately began his transformation.

As the celestial light intertwined and evolved, the body of the Primordial Celestial Venerable transformed into a cauldron of flesh and blood, seemingly capable of suppressing the void and forging all paths.

After that, all his Great Dao Laws transformed into raging Dao Fire, surging beneath the Blood and Flesh Cauldron; and the fuel supporting these Dao Fires was the life essence of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Within the precious cauldron, what was being refined by all of this was the undying true spirit and Dao fruit of the Primordial Celestial Venerable. This true spirit and Dao fruit were completely transformed into a celestial embryo, which had become a great elixir of life refined by the flames of myriad paths.

This change by Yuanshi Tianzun was tantamount to suicide; if it were anyone else, it would be considered a certain death.

But the so-called transformation is to rise from ruin and recover from annihilation. Everything in the past will become nourishment to make the future self stronger. Therefore, the transformation of Yuanshi Tianzun naturally contains this essence.

Soon, the flesh and blood cauldron that Yuanshi Tianzun had transformed into disintegrated and reformed, turning into a flesh and blood altar. His immortal true spirit and Dao fruit were then offered as sacrifices on the altar.

A burst of chanting auspicious sounds appeared in the void, and countless beings, spirits of heaven and earth, and even the endless gods who reigned over all the heavens and myriad realms gathered together. They all had faces identical to the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and chanted in unison a series of mysterious and inexplicable words. Then they all knelt down, seemingly offering prayers to a supreme god who sat high above the endless void.

In the higher reaches of the starry sky, a faint, ancient god-like figure, seemingly in harmony with the Great Dao, emerged, as if responding to this sacrifice. The face of this ancient god-like figure remained identical to that of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

The immortal true spirit of the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the immortal embryo formed from the Dao Fruit flew into the shadow of that ancient god, gradually merging with it, and a trace of transcendent aura gradually appeared.

Both the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure saw a familiar method in the transformation of the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning, which was the mysterious sacrificial method obtained by the Celestial Venerable of Freedom.

Clearly, Yuanshi Tianzun's transformation this time was achieved through this sacrificial method, which allowed him to elevate his Dao fruit and true spirit to an unprecedented level, thereby attempting to break through the barrier of the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm.

Judging from his aura, it seems that Yuanshi Tianzun has truly succeeded, and has begun to develop an aura that surpasses the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm.

However, upon witnessing the transformative aura of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, both the Mortal Celestial Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although the Primordial Celestial Venerable had successfully broken through the barrier of the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm, he ultimately had not reached the pinnacle of immortality.
