Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 826 Dao Fire
Having successfully completed a transformation and achieved true perfection, the Wuji Daoist opened his eyes, stabilized his aura, and said, "Although I am not the real you, I am still half of you. Achieving this step is probably not so unimaginable, is it?"

Liang Yu said, "Success is good."

Afterwards, Daoist Wuji and Liang Yu left the core of the laws inside Wuji Immortal Mountain and arrived at the summit.

Liang Yu said, "Now that things have come to this, I can finally entrust the human universe and the Wuji Immortal Mountain to you with peace of mind."

The Taoist Master Wuji said, "There's no need to worry about such things. I will certainly do my best. But why bring this up all of a sudden? Could it be that you have already succeeded?"

Liang Yu said, "It depends on the standards. If it's just a rough prototype, then it can be considered a success, but it's not enough to truly become an Immortal King with this system. I hope to perfect my system to the point where I can condense two Dao Fruits before advancing to Immortal King."

Daoist Wuji shook his head and said, "You've already accumulated such a vast amount of knowledge, and you're still not satisfied? Do you intend to leapfrog the entire Immortal King realm in one step?"

Liang Yu said, "The leap to the Immortal King realm is enormous, how could I possibly achieve this? I just hope to make progress in the shortest possible time."

"If we leave the human universe too early and start showing our strength, we might summon strange forces ahead of time. Accumulating more power will allow us to progress quickly, so that we won't be powerless to fight back when the time comes."

The Taoist Master Wuji said, "I see."

Afterwards, Liang Yu and Wuji Daoist parted ways again and each began their own cultivation.

Liang Yu returned to the summit of Wuji Immortal Mountain to continue deducing his own laws, while Wuji Daoist synchronized his Great Dao Laws with the Origin of Life and Wuji Immortal Mountain, and began to attempt to evolve the sixth secret realm.

And so, Mount Wuji once again fell into tranquility.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years have passed. Strange fluctuations have once again occurred in Wuji Immortal Mountain, but this time the commotion is much smaller.

The source of the aura was none other than Suihuang, who had cultivated for many years in the Wuji Immortal Mountain.

After living for five lifetimes, Emperor Sui had lived for 60,000 years. By using the laws within those elixirs of immortality to perfect and evolve his own laws of wood and fire, his lifespan and cultivation had greatly improved.

Therefore, compared to the 46,000 years of his fourth incarnation, his lifespan increased by a full 14,000 years in his fifth incarnation, demonstrating his extraordinary success.

At this point, the fifth emperor of the Sui dynasty had finally reached old age and could no longer make any further progress.

As early as the beginning of this life, Emperor Sui had already determined his direction, setting his sights on using the laws of chaos to elevate himself, thereby further evolving his own laws to a higher level.

Theoretically speaking, with the four Chaos Immortal Scriptures from Liang Yu, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiyin Renhuang, and Taiyang Shenghuang as references, and with Liang Yu's state of sublimating his own Dao and Dharma after unifying all laws as a reference, Suihuang's conditions were already very favorable.

However, the laws of chaos are indeed too difficult to master. Even the Emperor Sui could not cultivate them to a sufficiently perfect state within 60,000 years, let alone use them to elevate his own Dao fruit.

Therefore, as early as the middle of this lifetime, Emperor Sui already knew that he could not succeed in this life. At this stage, Emperor Sui had two choices. One was to cultivate the Chaos Law step by step, and then, as the Taiyin Emperor had done before, to research a special Nine-Turn Immortal Pill that could be applied to his current life to extend his life for another lifetime, thereby cultivating the Chaos Law to its extreme within two lifetimes, and thus achieving transformation.

Based on his current mastery of the laws of chaos and the past experience of the Taiyin Emperor, the feasibility is still very high.

Secondly, it is about going all in, creating a unique method of one's own to achieve transformation, and forging one's own path.

Without much hesitation, Emperor Sui chose the second path.

After all, the path he took and the methods he cultivated were very different from those of the Taiyin Human Emperor. Evolving into a chaotic body was not his necessary path; his goal was to use the laws of chaos to evolve his own fundamental laws. Moreover, he hoped to forge his own path and create his own legend.

Therefore, although Emperor Sui continued to study the laws of chaos, he no longer made it his primary focus. And now, as this life is about to end, Emperor Sui has finally developed his own unique law.

Suihuang's idea actually came from two aspects: one was the path of all laws connecting heaven that Wuji Tianzun had once traversed, and the other was the immortal fire that his previous incarnation had transformed into.

The path to universal understanding mainly involves embracing all laws, grasping the irrefutable truths within them, comprehending the essence of change, and ultimately achieving the integration of all laws to penetrate the heavens and the earth.

Then, all these myriad laws must be unified from a single point of entry, ultimately achieving the unity of all laws and giving birth to chaos; after that, one must use the laws of chaos to sublimate one's own Dao and laws, thereby giving birth to supreme immortal laws.

For the Emperor of Fire, who possesses the most exquisite laws of fire in the human universe, could he use his own laws of fire as the core, and the laws of chaos, which are not yet fully developed but have begun to take shape, as the guide, to transform all paths into fire, to use countless fires to evolve the characteristics of all laws, and then to return all fires to one, condensing them into the Chaos Fire, thereby gaining a new life?

The direction is there, but putting it into practice will be difficult. After all, while transforming all paths into fire is simpler than unifying all laws or achieving the ultimate unification of all laws, it is still a task he cannot accomplish in this lifetime.

So he began to think about his own uniqueness and the immortal fire.

After perfecting his own laws of firewood, the Fire Emperor began to realize that his origin actually possessed a special immortality characteristic. The reason why the elixir of immortality in the human universe, and even the immortal fire of yesteryear, could endure for so long, was because of this.

Even after his transformation and subsequent demotion, his fundamental laws still contained a relatively thin layer of immortal divinity.

So, if he transforms himself into a state like celestial fire and contains his true spirit within it, he can transform into countless Dao fires, evolve different laws, and merge the myriad Dao fires into chaotic Dao fire, and then reassemble his true body from the Dao fire, thus achieving a metamorphosis.

Thus, the Fire Emperor began his research and successfully mastered a method in this life to transform himself into a special Dao Fire, using his own Firewood Law and the Chaos Law he had previously cultivated as the core.

These Dao Fires will possess a near-immortal characteristic. Although they cannot truly endure like the immortal fires of the past, they will not dissipate for a very long time, thus giving him ample time to continue evolving his own methods.

However, in order to maintain his stability and prevent himself from being unable to reunite, the Emperor Sui could only transform himself into nine Dao Flames, each evolving into a different Dharma.
