Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 784 Practice
The seven-colored gourd used by the Primordial Holy Emperor was specially created by the Yuan Emperor by fusing the laws of the Primordial Ancient Mine with the immortal laws contained in the gourd vine. Its effects are extraordinary. After years of nurturing, the effects of this gourd have clearly exceeded the limits of ordinary immortality medicines.

For those who have attained enlightenment, the elixir of immortality is like a second life. Whether it's completely healing a fatal wound or living out a second life in their later years, it's all a manifestation of this effect.

This special gourd-shaped elixir is even more remarkable. Not only can it grant an extra life, but it can also give the person who consumes it a significant boost. It is undoubtedly a unique product, a treasure that Emperor Yuan spent a great deal of time and effort to create.

Furthermore, if Emperor Yuan had allowed it to accumulate, the effects of this gourd-shaped elixir would have become even more terrifying.

Because the special laws contained within are centered on the laws of the Primordial Ancient Mine, the improvement may not be so obvious for others, but for the Primordial Holy Emperor born from the Primordial Ancient Mine, the effect will be far more powerful than imagined, and he may even be able to achieve a small transformation through it.

The reason why the Primordial Saint Emperor chose this time to refine the gourd and live a second life was firstly because he already knew that the gourd was constantly improving at the cost of delaying the Yuan Emperor's own cultivation. Although the Yuan Emperor himself had no objections, the Primordial Saint Emperor was too embarrassed to let him accumulate for tens of thousands more years.

Secondly, it is also because the first generation of the Primordial Saint Emperor focused his main energy on comprehending the laws that have undergone great changes in the Primordial Ancient Mine. At this time, he also needs this divine medicine as a stimulus to help him reach a higher level and save time.

Emperor Yuan was well aware of this, and therefore their opinion of the Primordial Holy Emperor improved considerably.

As the elixir of immortality gradually rejuvenated him, the Primordial Saint Emperor began to comprehend the Primordial Ancient Mine Law and the Gourd Immortal Vine Law contained within, and began to absorb their primordial essence to achieve a sublimation of himself.

After realizing this, the Yuan Emperor immediately relied on his close connection with the Primordial Ancient Mine and the Gourd Immortal Vine to mobilize a large amount of pure primordial power to gather around the Primordial Holy Emperor to help him advance further.

In theory, if the Primordial Saint Emperor cultivates the Primordial Immortal Scripture and comprehends the new Primordial Ancient Mine Laws derived from the Primordial Emperor, he has a great chance of becoming a superior Primordial Saint Body and successfully undergoing a transformation. This is another safety net for him besides methods like the Elixir of Immortality.

As a sacred spirit nurtured by the Primordial Ancient Mine, even though the origin of this wondrous place has changed due to the Yuan Emperor, it cannot significantly increase the difficulty for him to realize this method.

However, Tai Chu has not yet managed to acquire a physical origin that surpasses the laws of the Primordial Ancient Mine through Liang Yu's various methods. If he were to undergo such a transformation again, the laws of the Primordial Ancient Mine would once again dominate his extraordinary Holy Spirit Body, and many subsequent enhancements would be affected as a result. This is naturally something that the Primordial Holy Emperor does not want to see.

Therefore, by using this special divine medicine to undergo a minor transformation, he can avoid this problem. Of course, there are always trade-offs; he will also lose the possibility of transforming himself by relying on the Primordial Immortal Scripture.

However, although he gave up a shortcut to transformation, he reserved more possibilities for himself, and it is hard to say whether it was worth it.

Of course, the reason why the Primordial Saint Emperor dared to do this was because he possessed the method for refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, which inherently gave him a much higher margin for error than ordinary Dao Prodigies.

Soon, the Primordial Saint Emperor ended this small-scale transformation and lived a second life. He not only regained his youth but also greatly enhanced the depth of his origin, gained a deeper foundation, and even improved his combat power to a certain extent.

The Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist, it seems you have given up on using the Primordial Immortal Scripture to transform yourself?"

The Primordial Holy Emperor said, "Yes, although I have already understood this method and can succeed at any time, I do not want to affect my future potential by taking shortcuts."

Yuanhuang said, "Fellow Daoist, your approach will cause many Dao-proving practitioners great distress." Taichu Shenghuang said, "Haste makes waste. The path to immortality in the mortal world is extremely difficult. I don't have much confidence in succeeding, so doing this is also more convenient for taking other paths."

"Whether it's trying to cultivate into a mortal immortal in a strange world, or becoming a true immortal in the immortal realm and then constantly honing myself to reach a level comparable to a mortal immortal, I need to have greater possibilities and potential. One transformation is not worth sacrificing these things for."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan asked with some curiosity, "Becoming a True Immortal in the Immortal Realm is definitely a shortcut compared to becoming a Mortal Immortal. Can one then attain a Dao Fruit comparable to that of a Mortal Immortal?"

The Primordial Saint Emperor said, "This matter was told to me by my master, and I am merely relaying it. However, he has already reached a higher realm than the Mortal Immortal, so this matter must be true."

Emperor Yuan said, "So, those who didn't have the chance to become Immortals in the Mortal World still have a chance to catch up with those who did?"

The Primordial Holy Emperor said, "Theoretically, yes, but the probability is probably not very high."

Emperor Yuan was naturally aware of this. The fact that he could not become a Red Dust Immortal in the human universe or the strange world meant that his talent was inferior to those cultivators who could become Red Dust Immortals. Even if they truly accumulated their talents and reached the pinnacle of the True Immortal Realm, they would only be able to compare with him, and there was still a considerable distance between them.

To cultivate such a Dao fruit requires an unimaginable amount of time, energy, talent, and resources.

However, if they can reach this stage, it means that their spiritual attainment and foundation at this stage have reached their peak, which will give them a more glorious future.

Since they could have such a Dao fruit even without becoming immortals in the mortal world, they all had something to look forward to, so this news was quite significant to him.

After gathering his thoughts, Emperor Yuan asked, "That's good. May I ask what method you intend to use next to achieve this transformation?"

The Primordial Saint Emperor then said, "Of course, it is the method of immortal essence. This method is the most traceable in the human universe, and the success rate is also higher. Fellow Daoist, you have accumulated some immortal essence during your fourth life, so I am afraid I still need to ask you for guidance."

Emperor Yuan said, "Such a small matter is perfectly acceptable."

Just then, the Undying Heavenly Blade suddenly flew out from the depths of the Primordial Ancient Mine, sending out a divine thought into the Primordial Holy Emperor's Immortal Platform.

Upon closer inspection, the Primordial Holy Emperor discovered that it contained not only the Nirvana Method from the Immortal Phoenix lineage, but also his various explorations into the methods of transformation over the past few lifetimes.

Clearly, the Immortal Emperor had prepared all of this in advance to instruct him.

The Primordial Saint Emperor immediately bowed to the Heavenly Blade and the Undying Emperor who was still undergoing Nirvana, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
