Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 837 Transformation
In this timeline, Wuji Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun, as well as Ye Fan from the original timeline, have all come to understand that the mortal body is the fundamental principle. What they have in common is that they have all comprehended the humanoid immortality elixir and have later developed other physiques.

Understanding that the mortal body is the foundation is equivalent to comprehending the essence of all special constitutions. This is the end of the path of constitution evolution. Reaching this stage allows one to condense their own supreme immortal body.

The emperor was already the most outstanding mortal body, and after being strengthened and modified by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, he became even more powerful, reaching a level equivalent to a chaotic body.

After attaining enlightenment, although he did not follow the path of physical evolution, he continued to try to further evolve his powerful mortal body.

By this time, the Emperor gradually understood why the Primordial Celestial Venerable had deliberately avoided transforming himself into a special physique when he strengthened himself with the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable hoped that the emperor could preserve this most fundamental and powerful mortal body, and after comprehending some of the mysteries of the mortal body, undergo a special physical evolution through the Kunlun Immortal Scripture, thereby further deepening his understanding of the essence of the mortal body and even other physical bodies.

Afterwards, he could use this accumulated knowledge to reduce the difficulty of comprehending the elixir of immortality in human form. Therefore, the elixir of immortality in human form was naturally of extraordinary significance to him.

In fact, the Primordial Celestial Venerable had already subtly hinted at the path after becoming an emperor: to evolve one's mortal body to its true maximum level and become an immortal body by comprehending the elixir of immortality in human form.

However, the current emperor is far from having grasped this level of understanding; he only vaguely knows that he should put more effort into the evolution of his physique.

After successfully living out his third life and making simple adjustments to his aura, the Emperor once again felt a significant improvement in his condition.

Although the Longevity Immortal Essence Transformation Method is undoubtedly the most conventional and widely used among the various transformation methods explored by cultivators, only a few people can successfully attain enlightenment through it. Moreover, those who succeed will inevitably make significant progress, thus surpassing ordinary cultivators.

Even though an emperor's foundation and physique are far superior to those of an ordinary cultivator, he can still achieve significant improvement if he successfully transforms using this method.

Having reached this point, the emperor did not rest for long and quickly threw himself into the next stage of cultivation.

To improve his cultivation efficiency, the emperor even buried himself inside the Kunlun Sacred Realm to get as close as possible to its core laws and source power, thereby obtaining the best cultivation conditions for himself.

Time passed swiftly, and sixteen thousand years went by in a flash. The emperor emerged from the interior of this sacred mountain and returned to the outside world.

Throughout his 44,000 years of cultivation in the previous two lifetimes and 16,000 years in this lifetime, totaling 60,000 years, the Emperor never relaxed his comprehension of the Kunlun Immortal Scripture. With the added benefit of the Jianmu Fruit he had previously obtained, his improvement was even more significant, saving him countless hours of hard work.

Therefore, the current emperor has already mastered the Kunlun Immortal Scripture to the point of perfection, and can almost use this Kunlun Immortal Scripture to condense the laws of the Kunlun Sacred Realm, thereby drawing upon the primordial power of the Kunlun Sacred Realm to transform himself into a completely new physique, the Kunlun Sacred Body.

In other words, he had already deduced the method for the emperor's transformation into the next life, even though he had not yet reached old age.

However, this was already part of the emperor's plan, so he didn't relax too much and immediately began the next stage of cultivation.

He will take the various methods and experiences of Yuanshi Tianzun himself and Wuji Tianzun in their acquired physical transformations as the main direction of his next study. Of course, he will also use this process to compare with the transformation methods he can already achieve, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries involved.

During his cultivation, he naturally encountered many bottlenecks. Originally, the Emperor wanted to directly ask his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, but for some reason, he had a vague feeling that the elixir of immortality in human form might be useful to him.

Although it was just a feeling, for a cultivator of his level, such a feeling would not arise without reason.

Therefore, the emperor did not seek guidance from the Primordial Celestial Venerable, but instead tried to comprehend the elixir of immortality in human form for a period of time before making any further plans.

In this process, the emperor always gained insights from the complex and profound laws of the humanoid immortal elixir, and broke through the bottlenecks he encountered on the path of physical evolution one by one.

Thus, in this rhythm of cultivation, the emperor underwent another ten thousand years of cultivation, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the evolution of physical constitution.

After a total of 26,000 years, the third generation of the emperor finally came to an end. In this respect, the emperor's lifespan, which he lived through by relying on the immortal essence, did not seem to have increased significantly.

However, considering that the previous Primordial Saint Emperor only achieved this level of improvement after transforming himself with the Longevity Immortal Essence, it is clear that this is not a problem for individual emperors, but rather a problem encountered by all Dao Prodigies of their level.

The reason for this is that both the Primordial Saint Emperor and the Emperor were limited by their own cultivation level, thus preventing them from achieving greater advancement.

At this moment, he, like the Primordial Holy Emperor, had reached the same level that the Undying Heavenly Emperor and the God Emperor had achieved in their first lives after three lifetimes of cultivation. The enhancement brought by the Longevity Immortal Essence was already quite remarkable, and it was no longer possible for them to cross this stage. They would need to undergo another transformation to make it possible.

But that no longer mattered to the emperor. He had now successfully discovered the method for transformation needed to live out his fourth life, and it was a further refined version at that.

As for the elixir of immortality in human form, after actually studying it, the emperor became even clearer that it was extremely difficult to gain anything from it, and it was not something that could be easily accomplished. Even if he were to extend his lifespan by several thousand years, it would be difficult to achieve anything significant.

On the contrary, it is only through this transformation and the process of living out his fourth life that he may be able to greatly accelerate his understanding of the laws within.

Without further hesitation, the emperor began to circulate the Kunlun Immortal Scripture, mobilizing the primordial power within the Kunlun Sacred Realm to condense the laws of the Kunlun Sacred Realm, and thus began the transformation for the next life.

At the same time, he also continuously controlled the process through his understanding of the method of physical evolution, allowing the special laws of Kunlun Sacred Realm to condense within his body and generate new life power, thereby achieving maximum improvement.

Thus, supported by the primordial power that continuously flowed into his body within the Kunlun Sacred Realm, the aura of the emperor grew stronger and stronger, and he finally succeeded in being reborn, beginning his fourth life.
