Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 857 Entrustment
After successfully living out his third life, the Dao Emperor immediately felt that his Dao Fruit and Primordial Spirit had become stronger and more synchronized with his extraordinary physical body, from which he discovered more power and mystery.

However, at this point, he was clearly still far from being the Moral Celestial Venerable of yesteryear, a fact he could clearly perceive from his own physical body.

At that moment, the Supreme Lord of Morality suddenly reappeared before him.

Seeing the hint of joy on the face of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Dao Emperor asked, "Brother Morality, is there some good news?"

The Celestial Venerable said, “Junior Brother, I am about to enter the final stage of my seclusion. I will not be distracted for many years to come. I will entrust the care of this Great Luo Immortal Mountain and the Bodhi Ancient Tree to you.”

Upon hearing this, Dao Huang couldn't help but say, "Could it be that Senior Brother Dao De is about to break through to the Immortal King realm? Then I truly must congratulate you."

The Celestial Venerable of Morality shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. It's just that some inspiration struck me suddenly, making me feel the possibility of achieving perfection. Even if I were to succeed, it would probably take quite a while."

Dao Huang said, "In any case, making progress is enough. Senior Brother Dao De, rest assured, I will take good care of this immortal mountain and the Bodhi tree."

The Celestial Venerable said, "By the way, there's also the matter of the Buddhist lineage I mentioned to you before. Although in my calculations it should be a long time from now, I still ask you to pay attention to it, Junior Brother."

The Emperor said, "There is nothing wrong with this."

Just as the Celestial Venerable of Morality was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "There is one more thing. I have a disciple who is currently sealed in the Great Luo Immortal Mountain. I hope you can help me look after him and find a suitable time for him to be released. He cultivates the Chaotic Ancient Method."

Upon hearing this, Dao Huang was taken aback. After learning about his past life, Dao Huang had made studying the Chaotic Ancient Technique one of his future directions. However, he did not expect that the Moral Celestial Venerable would have such a disciple who actually practiced the Chaotic Ancient Technique.

He couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, senior brother."

After entrusting these matters to the Dao Emperor, the Celestial Venerable of Morality was about to leave. But as soon as his body disappeared, it suddenly reappeared: "I've taken the Taiji Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda with me to cultivate. The Vajra Bracelet and the Eight Trigrams Furnace will help you control this immortal mountain."

After saying this, the Celestial Venerable of Morality truly disappeared and entered the depths of Mount Daluo to begin his seclusion.

He had been struggling to maintain his inspiration while also entrusting various matters to the Dao Emperor, which had kept him somewhat busy. But now, he could finally focus on his cultivation without worry.

Upon hearing this, Dao Huang couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. It seemed that his senior brother was indeed in a hurry, managing to say these words several times.

However, being able to move on to the next stage of cultivation is undoubtedly a great thing, so the Dao Emperor couldn't help but feel happy for him.

After calming down, Dao Huang noticed that the Vajra Bracelet and the Eight Trigrams Furnace had come before him and said in unison, "Greetings, Master."

While cultivating on the ancient star of the primordial world, the Dao Emperor had heard of the renown of these two magical treasures, but even after entering the Great Luo Immortal Mountain, he had never seen them. This was, in fact, the first time the Dao Emperor had ever seen these two legendary treasures.

With just a glance, the Dao Emperor couldn't help but sigh. After all, they had all evolved into Celestial Artifacts. And this was actually the first time the Dao Emperor had ever seen a true Celestial Artifact. Of course, what the Dao Emperor didn't know was that they were not only Celestial Artifacts, but also Supreme Celestial Artifacts.

In the long years after the Celestial Venerable of Mortals became a mortal immortal, he personally refined his four immortal artifacts one by one, allowing them to continuously evolve, and finally, all four immortal artifacts evolved into supreme immortal artifacts.

Although not every item can perfectly match the Celestial Venerable of Morality and exist as his natal magic weapon, they are all absolute treasures.

Surprisingly, the Dao Emperor felt an inexplicable affinity for the Vajra Bracelet. After a moment's thought, he realized the reason must be that when the Celestial Venerable of Morality traveled the universe in his previous form, he brought the Vajra Bracelet with him for protection. Therefore, there was indeed a special connection between them.

Dao Huang shook his head, dismissing his admiration for the wealth and power of the Moral Celestial Venerable, and said, "You two don't need to be so polite. We are simply cooperating with each other."

After some discussion, the Dao Emperor first used the two immortal artifacts to control the numerous array patterns set up within the Great Luo Immortal Mountain. During this process, the Dao Emperor gained a deeper understanding of the power of the Moral Celestial Venerable, this mortal immortal.

Even though he has already experienced a rebirth and his strength is unmatched by only a very few people throughout history, these array patterns are still so complex that he cannot decipher them. Even though the Celestial Venerable of Morality has handed over control to him, it is still very difficult for him to make them change freely.

Fortunately, with the assistance of these two immortal artifacts, he could accomplish these things very easily.

After that, the Dao Emperor did not continue his cultivation, but instead began using the Eight Trigrams Furnace to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. With the assistance of this supreme immortal artifact-level alchemy furnace, the Dao Emperor successfully refined a batch of Nine-Turn Immortal Pills with excellent results.

The reason why the Celestial Venerable of Morality created the Eight Trigrams Furnace was to facilitate his own crafting of weapons and alchemy. Therefore, although the furnace was extremely powerful, it was not his primary purpose.

Then, he placed the two immortal artifacts back into the great formation of the Great Luo Immortal Mountain and used the mountain's primordial power to nurture them.

The Dao Emperor's main purpose in refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill was not actually to allow himself to live another life, nor was it for his disciples or mounts to use it. These purposes certainly existed, but they were merely incidental.

The main reason is that, perhaps due to the influence of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Dao Emperor also has a great talent and interest in crafting weapons and refining pills. Therefore, he was more unable to resist trying to use the supreme immortal artifact-level Bagua Furnace to refine pills.

After successfully refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, the Dao Emperor awakened his mount, the Azure Ox, and his disciple, Li Guo, from their sealed state. He then passed on to them the Chaotic Ancient Method, which the Moral Celestial Venerable had researched in his previous life, hoping that they could gain inspiration from this method and achieve new breakthroughs in this unconventional state of enlightenment.

After all, developing a different system could indeed allow them to take their skills to the next level and break through their own limits.

Having already lived a second life with the help of the elixir of immortality, and regained their peak condition, they are naturally able to engage in new cultivation and exploration. After this life ends, they can live a third life again with the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, gaining even greater strength.

At that time, the Dao Emperor can rest assured to let them ascend to the strange world.

Of course, just in case, it would be best to have a powerful enough cultivator take them to that world, which would be safer.
