Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 769 Ascension
Liang Yu, who was fully engaged in deducing the second type of the sixth secret realm, sensed the aura of the God Emperor and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It's unknown how long it took for the God Emperor in the original timeline to successfully achieve the eleventh transformation of the Divine Silkworm, but it was probably around two million years. After all, in the post-ancient era when Ye Fan was born, he was still in a half-dead state.

With the current God Emperor enjoying even more favorable conditions, theoretically, he could reach the eleventh transformation much faster. However, even so, it would probably still take a considerable amount of time, and there is little hope of achieving it within a million years.

With these pioneers already becoming immortals in the mortal world and beginning to explore the path to becoming immortal kings, by the time the God Emperor succeeds, they will likely have already reached an even higher realm.

By then, he might be able to decide whether or not to have the God Emperor continue his undercover work as in the original timeline. After all, he was a truly reliable undercover agent, and it would be difficult for others to replace him.

However, thinking about the God Emperor's experience, even though Liang Yu could be promoted to Immortal King at any time, far ahead of the current God Emperor, he still felt somewhat resentful.

How can someone lie in a coffin, sleeping and leveling up all the time, even transforming all the way to a level close to that of an Immortal Emperor? Isn't this cultivation path a bit too easy?

Of course, the future God Emperor might also need to act as an undercover agent, facing immense psychological pressure and real-world risks at all times. It would be a good thing if his cultivation went more smoothly.

Liang Yu shook his head, clearing his mind of all distractions, and focused his energy on deducing the sixth secret realm. Nearly 100,000 years had passed since he began attempting the second route, and with his previous experience, his progress was quite rapid.

If this continues, perhaps in less than 100,000 years, he will be able to deduce the second type of the sixth secret realm.

The God Emperor's transformation took place within the Boundless Immortal Mountain, where he remained. Therefore, the outside world was unaware of this event, and the human universe remained peaceful.

However, perhaps due to the influence of the Source God, the evolutionary direction of the human universe has undergone some subtle changes. The number of different types of Sources born in various parts of the human universe has increased dramatically, which has led to a more vigorous development of the Source gathering industry.

After all, every enlightened being who unites with the mark of the Heavenly Heart will interact with the human universe, and their Great Dao imprint will naturally be preserved by the human universe.

Now that the human universe is further recovering, these enlightened beings will have an even greater influence on it.

It's not surprising that the origins of the Source Gods and the unique nature of their cultivation methods could cause minor changes in the human universe.

At that moment, the Underworld Emperor left the Underworld and arrived at Jade Flower Divine Island.

The Xuanwu Emperor welcomed him in and said, "Fellow Daoist Minghuang, how have you been? What brings you here?"

The Underworld Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, I have come to request the method of the field."

Xuanwu Emperor was taken aback upon hearing this, but then he seemed to realize something and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have never studied this path before. Are you speaking now because of that Origin God?"

The Underworld Emperor has no talent for Source Arts, let alone for a field that goes further. Therefore, he is definitely not doing this for himself. If he is doing it for someone else, then it is very likely that the Underworld Emperor came for the Source God who is proficient in Source Arts.

The Underworld Emperor said, "My junior brother will leave the human universe in a few thousand or tens of thousands of years. I am also considering his future."

Emperor Xuanwu said, "Originally, this method was passed down by my master, and I was not in a position to teach it easily. But 20,000 years ago, when the Origin God attained enlightenment, my master specially came out of seclusion and told me that I could pass on the field method to anyone with the corresponding talent without having to ask them for help."

"Now that I think about it, could it be that the old man was referring to your junior brother, the Source God?"

The reason why Lingbao Tianzun did not promote and spread the field method is mainly because this method has not yet been perfected and has not yet formed a complete system.

In this situation, even talented individuals would find it extremely difficult to cultivate the art of the field, let alone those without talent. If the humanistic aspect of this system is completely perfected, then he naturally wouldn't mind if this method were to spread throughout the human universe.

The Source God is proficient in Source Arts due to their special origins, but their talent in field manipulation is not that outstanding. After all, Source Arts are only a part of the field, and are subordinate to it.

Although Lingbao Tianzun hadn't examined it closely, with his current level of cultivation, he could judge something from the aura alone. The reason he allowed the transmission of the field to him was because, while his talent wasn't enough to explore new directions in field development, he could still be a qualified learner.

He might even be able to use this to improve his own Source Arts.

Therefore, the field method is quite beneficial to the cultivation of the source god, and Lingbao Tianzun naturally does not mind doing things that are of interest to others.

The Underworld Emperor said, "In that case, I will thank the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao and Fellow Daoist Xuanwu on his behalf."

Emperor Xuanwu said, "It's alright. My master's hope is that this method can be passed down to the world for a long time and that more people can learn it."

Subsequently, Emperor Xuanwu imprinted all the field techniques he had obtained from Lingbao Tianzun and handed them over to Emperor Ming.

After returning to the Underworld, the Underworld Emperor handed over this part of the field law to the Source God.

He said, "This method is called the Field Method. It is a semi-finished new system jointly deduced by Lingbao Tianzun and Wuji Tianzun based on the Origin Technique and the Dao of Array Patterns. Since you are proficient in the Origin Technique, you may be able to master this method."

Yuan Shen said, "Senior brother, you've gone to a lot of trouble."

The Underworld Emperor said, "Give it a try. I hope it helps you."

The Source God immediately began to comprehend and proceed to the next stage of cultivation. With the help of the Source Technique, the Source God gained a completely new understanding of the Law of Fields, opening up a new world and opening up more possibilities for progress.

So he adjusted his cultivation path and began seclusion again.

As time flies by, another ten thousand years have passed in the human universe, and the lifespan of the second incarnation of the Source God should also decline from its peak.

It was only because the Source God combined Source Techniques with his own characteristics that he greatly reduced all his life activities, allowing his peak period to pass more slowly. However, he has now reached his limit, which means it's time for him to leave the human universe.

So, the Source God went to say goodbye to the Source Demon and the Source Ghost.

Then, the Underworld Emperor appeared before him at the right time and said, "Junior brother, the Three Lives Emperor and the Corpse Emperor are now cultivating in that world, and they can be considered your senior brothers. With them by your side, you can quickly learn about the situation in that world."

"Practice diligently, for perhaps we will meet again in the future."

Yuan Shen said, "Take care, Senior Brother."

Subsequently, the Source God left the Underworld and came to the depths of the universe, ascended to a strange world through the Immortal Gate, and left the human universe.
