Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 91 Primordial Ancient Mine
Liang Yu said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to the Primordial Ancient Mine to discuss the Dao with you all. The Carefree Celestial Venerable is also an old friend of mine, and I didn't expect him to have moved here as well. It's a great pleasure to see both new and old friends together this time."

The Xuanhuang Banner landed in Liang Yu's hands, and the man and the banner headed towards the Primordial Ancient Mine. Although the Xuanhuang Supreme's Xuanhuang Banner was not slow in flight, it paled in comparison to Liang Yu's speed, so it was better to let Liang Yu travel.

Soon, Liang Yu arrived at the side of the Primordial Ancient Mine. Endless starlight wove into curtains radiating silver light, which were swallowed by the underground mine shafts of the central mining area, dimming the entire starry sky as if it were devoid of any brilliance.

After a long while, the mine finally exhaled countless starlight, and the starry sky returned to normal. In this cycle of exhalation and respiration, the starry sky dimmed and brightened, truly a wondrous place that gathers the essence of heaven and earth.

Even though this mine is buried deep underground, it exudes an extraordinary aura—ancient, weathered, and mysterious.

Within the mining area, there was another unique terrain that caught Liang Yu's attention.

A crescent moon stained with blood was reflected on the ground, its light shining brightly against the clear moon in the sky. The endless moonlight flowed into the ground, exuding an aura of utmost yin and gentleness.

Nearby, a mountain range stretches across the landscape, containing a blazing black sun that exudes the most intense and masculine energy.

This is the Crimson Moon Cave and the Fallen Sun Ridge, which coexist and complement each other, forming a unique and perilous place.

Of course, this place is easily within Liang Yu's grasp now. Even with just his source techniques, he can easily change the world and create ten thousand different looks for it.

However, the unique Daoist principles of Yin and Yang harmony within this place were still of considerable help to Liang Yu, since his goal in this life was to achieve the unification of all laws through comprehending Yin and Yang. This place was a wondrous land where Yin and Yang coexisted, naturally worthy of Liang Yu's reference and study.

Of course, for others, the greatest use of this place was for forging weapons. The later Emperor Hengyu once used the extremely strong and yang energy in the Fallen Sun Ridge of this place to forge the Hengyu Furnace, also known as the Sun God Furnace, with phoenix blood and crimson gold.

With the terrain and the immortal metal being highly compatible, Emperor Hengyu, while confronting several supreme beings in the Primordial Ancient Mine, forged this supreme imperial weapon in a very short time.

Furthermore, Emperor Hengyu even planned to use Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold to lure the Undying Emperor during this process. It's unclear what arrangements he made to dare to act this way. After all, the Undying Emperor is a Heavenly Emperor level being, and while Emperor Hengyu is extraordinary, he should still be inferior to him.

However, it is also possible that he understood the Emperor's weakness during his rebirth process and therefore made this arrangement.

In the end, he failed to catch the Undying Emperor, but instead caught another supreme being from the Primordial Ancient Mine. This could be considered a case of the fisherman never going home empty-handed.

As a result, although he killed his opponent, he had to make a pact with the other supreme beings of the Primordial Ancient Mine and each of them had to back down.

The supreme being of the Primordial Ancient Mine never reappeared after that, and Emperor Hengyu also "went far away" to the Central Plains and never returned to the Eastern Wilderness.

Of course, there are rumors that he established the Ancient Hua Dynasty after going to Zhongzhou. Considering that a bunch of emperors, too numerous to count, emerged in the last 100,000 to 200,000 years of the Desolate Ancient Era, perhaps this unofficial history is indeed true.

Seeing Liang Yu looking at this place with divine light flashing in his eyes, as if he were trying to see through the Dao traces here, the Supreme Xuanhuang couldn't help but ask, "Is the Great Heavenly Venerable interested in this place? Then I will decide to bestow this place upon the Great Heavenly Venerable."

Xuanhuang Supreme is currently the most senior Supreme in the Primordial Ancient Mine. His condition has been well maintained because he has been in deep slumber for a long time. Therefore, he has a lot of influence in the Primordial Ancient Mine now.

Although the terrain of Crimson Moon Cave and Fallen Sun Ridge is unique and an excellent place for weapon forging for those seeking enlightenment, it is irrelevant to these self-severed supreme beings. After all, they no longer need to forge weapons.

Liang Yu withdrew his gaze and said, "This place is of limited use to me. I have already thoroughly understood its mysteries, so there is no need to continue to comprehend it." Xuanhuang Supreme laughed and said, "Great Heavenly Venerable still has Immortal Gold in hand. I suppose you intend to refine nine kinds of Immortal Gold Treasures? This place is very effective for weapon forging. Great Heavenly Venerable, you should not refuse. We would not feel at ease if we could discuss the Dao with the Great Heavenly Venerable and not give back."

Liang Yu laughed and said, "Now that you mention it, it would seem pretentious of me not to accept it. Very well, I'll accept this place."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless Origin God patterns appeared on the ground, perfectly separating this forbidden land from the ancient mine, without damaging the terrain of the ancient mine, and preserving this forbidden land intact.

Since this forbidden land does not possess the unique laws that form a self-contained system like Kunlun Immortal Mountain or Wuji Immortal Mountain, Liang Yu can directly store it in the Qiankun Creation Tower.

The Supreme Xuanhuang revealed a slight look of surprise: "Is this the Netherworld Lord's Origin Technique? It truly is a supreme secret technique. Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao previously mentioned that he had traversed several forbidden zones and discovered that each forbidden zone was different. If one possessed an Origin Technique, perhaps one could decipher the terrain of these forbidden zones and obtain the secrets of immortality. Now it seems that this technique might truly achieve this goal."

Liang Yu also showed a hint of surprise. Did the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable also realize this? How come this Celestial Venerable, who had already severed himself, has become more and more profound after experiencing a second spring?
While the previous Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao was not bad, he was not necessarily stronger than Zhulong. But now, he is showing signs of becoming the number one person after Liang Yu, Moral Celestial Venerable, Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable, and Underworld Venerable.

If he could repair the Sendai and be reborn, perhaps the Carefree Celestial Venerable would demonstrate an unimaginable breakthrough, surpassing his past self.

Could it really be true that "destruction precedes construction, and one becomes invincible"?

Liang Yu and Xuanhuang Supreme arrived at the core of the Primordial Ancient Mine. There was a black mine shaft in the middle of the mine, which was bottomless and countless starlight came in and out from here.

This is the core area of ​​the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Liang Yu entered the mine and went straight to the core. This was a supreme treasure cave composed of silvery-white Primordial Life Stones, filled with endless vitality and divine power. Simply living here could greatly slow down aging and lock in one's own life force.

The Primordial Life Stone is a rare and auspicious stone, a top-tier divine treasure in the universe. Whether it's the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill from the mythical era or the Supreme Evolution Liquid of the Eternal Starfield from the ancient times, this divine treasure is required as one of its core ingredients.

Such a divine treasure is hard to find even in the outside world, not even a piece the size of a fingernail. But here, there is a huge cavern entirely composed of Primordial Life Stones.

No wonder the Supreme Being here is so wealthy and powerful, and so profound. It's also no wonder that when Ye Fan was ambushed by the Undying Emperor in his second life and his immortal essence was greatly damaged, almost to the point of death, he could still survive for half a month with the help of this place, and even managed to extract a little immortal essence to buy himself a chance to live.

With a simple observation using his Origin Heaven Divine Eye, Liang Yu discovered that there was a treasure land at the core of this place that was almost comparable to the Kunlun Immortal Pool.

Now, within that precious land, a stone embryo floats and sinks. Sensing Liang Yu's gaze, it trembled and emitted a faint, benevolent divine thought.

After all, as a fellow Holy Spirit, he easily sensed Liang Yu's glorious achievements against the Holy Spirit race—six Great Perfection Holy Spirits and four Proving Holy Spirits.

When this terrifying aura appeared, the unborn Tai Chu almost wanted to break free of his stone embryo and run away immediately, but he also knew that he had no chance against the other party.

Therefore, he could only express his goodwill cautiously and prudently.
