Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 773 Inheritance
When the Golden-Winged Roc achieved final victory and became invincible among its peers, Liang Yu, who was cultivating in seclusion in the Wuji Immortal Mountain, suddenly had a feeling.

He looked at the golden-winged roc in the depths of the universe and muttered to himself, "Roc Emperor? Not bad. No wonder I sensed something. It turns out that you were the one who was born in this life. It seems that the inheritance that Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao entrusted to me can finally be passed down in part."

In the original timeline, after the Great Roc Emperor attained enlightenment, he failed to find a way forward and ultimately severed his own body, becoming one of the self-severing supreme beings on Burial Sky Island.

Before Ye Fan attained enlightenment, he represented Burial Sky Island and joined forces with the Spirit Emperor, Corpse Emperor, and Immortal Granny to kill Ye Fan.

Judging from the fact that his appearance made the Immortal Granny gasp, the Corpse Emperor amazed, and even Ye Fan felt that the combat power of the Great Roc Emperor and the Spirit Emperor was somewhat beyond expectations, the Great Roc Emperor can definitely be considered one of the more outstanding among those self-severed supreme beings.

Based on Liang Yu's current observations, this naturally combative Golden-Winged Roc is likely indeed slightly above the average Dao Prover, but not quite a level above.

Under the influence of the Power Emperor's legacy, this Golden-Winged Roc's foundation has been further enhanced, and he may have the potential to become even stronger. That's why Liang Yu gave him a small compliment.

Of course, this is mainly because Liang Yu was indeed waiting for someone like him, and now that he has finally found him, he is in a good mood.

At the end of the mythological era, the Carefree Celestial Venerable sacrificed his own flesh and blood, which was the flesh and blood of a supreme being, combined with wisps of dark power and his further evolution of the laws of time, to achieve an ultimate transformation. He not only directly repaired the damage to his Celestial Platform, but also greatly enhanced his combat power, achieving a complete metamorphosis. As a result, he challenged Liang Yu.

Before Liang Yu personally ended the life of the carefree Celestial Venerable, he rediscovered his original aspirations and entrusted his legacy to Liang Yu.

These inheritances mainly consist of three parts: first, the ancient scripture he forged from his understanding of the laws of time; second, the advanced version of the Xingzi Secret; and third, the immortal space laws derived from the immortal artifact he refined.

And this golden-winged roc, the future Great Roc Emperor, is undoubtedly the best successor to the advanced version of the Xingzi Secret that the Carefree Celestial Venerable later researched.

Regarding the evolution of the Xingzi Secret, the most orthodox direction is the law of time, and the Dao and Dharma of the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable were mainly developed through continuous in-depth exploration in this field.

However, inspired by the "All" secret technique of Yuanshi Tianzun, which could amplify one's own combat power, Xiaoyao Tianzun found another way and went in a different direction in the development of the "Xing" secret technique.

On this path, he no longer further evolved the laws of time to pursue higher realms and more exquisite changes, but directly returned to the most essential speed, allowing this version of the Word of Movement to focus on amplifying his own speed and bringing speed to its extreme.

After all, he was simply pursuing speed from the beginning, and only after reaching the extreme did he naturally enter the realm of the laws of time.

In other words, this secret method of movement pursues pure speed, pure speed, but it is not just about movement speed, but also about thinking, the operation of laws, perception, divine sense, body movements, and so on. Everything enters a state of extreme speed.

This is clearly more like a combination of the "All" and "Travel" secrets, a secret technique used to greatly amplify oneself.

However, the requirements for practicing this completely different Xingzi Secret are much higher than the original Xingzi Secret.

Although the previous "Speed ​​of Travel" technique was the fastest in the world, it actually had a low barrier to entry; anyone with excellent comprehension could learn it. As for other requirements, it was best to only have two legs.

Of course, this restriction is obviously not strict. Dogs and dragon horses can perform the Xingzi Secret Technique using only their two hind legs, which is enough to prove that the restriction condition for the Xingzi Secret Technique is only that the comprehension is qualified. However, to maintain this extreme speed state in this version of the Xingzi Secret Technique, one needs a sufficiently strong physique and a sufficiently abundant life essence, and even a sufficiently powerful primordial spirit.

After all, if one's physique is not strong enough, it will be difficult to support oneself in such a high-intensity state; if one's source of energy is not strong enough, it will be difficult to maintain this state for a long time, and it may even easily injure oneself; and if one's primordial spirit is not strong enough, it will be difficult to control oneself after being in a state of extreme speed, and one will not be able to exert full strength.

Clearly, after receiving the inheritance and gifts from the Power Emperor, this Golden-Winged Roc's physique became even stronger, and its origin was much more abundant than before. It even learned the inheritance of the Carefree Celestial Venerable and the Secret of the Word "Xing".

Aside from not being particularly powerful in terms of primordial spirit strength, the Great Roc Emperor is a perfect fit for this modified Xingzi Secret.

So Liang Yu lightly tapped his finger and, across the endless starry sky, created a special opportunity for this golden-winged roc, before immersing himself in cultivation again.

By this time, he had already perfected the second type of the sixth secret realm to a great extent and had entered the later stages of construction. It was already quite good that he could spare even this little bit of attention.

In the vast universe, the Golden-Winged Roc was about to return to its homeland and take a trip to the ancient star Gouchen to adjust before starting its next stage of cultivation when it suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

He frowned and said, "This is... the Secret of the Character '行'? No, it seems a little different."

Sensing an aura similar to the "Xing Zi Secret," the Golden-Winged Roc immediately changed direction, deciding to investigate further.

After all, with the help of the Xingzi Secret, his Tianpeng's speed increased again, truly reaching the pinnacle of the world. One of his future goals is to further enhance the innate supernatural abilities of his Golden-Winged Roc lineage, raising them to a level comparable to the Xingzi Secret, and learning from the pioneer, the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable, is naturally the most suitable method.

Finally, he followed the aura to an ancient formation. The aura that seemed similar to, yet slightly different from, that of the Carefree Celestial Venerable was emanating from there.

Having already reached the fifth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, he naturally activated the great formation directly, intending to explore its secrets. Unexpectedly, the Golden-Winged Roc was pulled into the formation without any resistance.

Could this be a Celestial Venerable's array pattern?

The Golden-Winged Roc sensed that he had not been attacked, and immediately retrieved the incomplete imperial array pattern and several forbidden artifacts that he had been ready to throw out at any time, and looked around. Of course, he still held them tightly, ready to release them at any moment.

The interior of this great formation is a vast, empty space.

Is this place simply used to trap people?

Just as the Golden-Winged Roc was filled with doubt, a divine light shone into his spiritual platform, instantly invigorating him. This was a secret technique, a technique specifically for cultivating the primordial spirit.

This secret technique did not actually originate from the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao, but was created by Liang Yu in a previous life when he explored ways to strengthen the power of the primordial spirit. After practicing and comprehending this secret technique, the primordial spirit of the Golden-Winged Roc can be sufficiently enhanced to truly adapt to this modified version of the Xingzi Secret Technique.
