Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 93 The Method of Reincarnation
The other five supreme beings showed no reaction upon hearing the words of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, clearly indicating that they had also learned of this method.

The Celestial Venerable of Freedom had come to inform them that the path to immortality was blocked. Upon first hearing this, they were undoubtedly devastated and initially refused to believe it.

But with Liang Yu and the Underworld Lord's endorsement, they had no choice but to accept this cruel reality. So, after a series of intense internal struggles, they had to find another way out.

However, the method of rebirth used by the Carefree Celestial Venerable had some problems, and the path to immortality was not something they could easily enter. For a time, they were unsure of what lay ahead. Therefore, they thought of asking Liang Yu for guidance.

Liang Yu's words lifted their spirits, filling them with anticipation. After all, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji's research on the method of transformation was undoubtedly profound, so the method he could offer was unlikely to have any serious problems.

The Celestial Venerable of Freedom was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and said, "Great Celestial Venerable is very thoughtful."

Liang Yu shook his head: "This was just an unexpected gain during my cultivation."

The Supreme Being Xuanhuang said, "If it is truly useful, then whether intentional or unintentional, the Great Heavenly Venerable is our benefactor."

Liang Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't be so happy yet. What if my method is the same as Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao's? Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao, please tell us about your results first."

The carefree Celestial Venerable sighed, "Over the years, we have carefully studied ourselves. The self-inflicted wound we inflicted not only damaged our celestial platform, but also caused deficiencies in our origins, laws, and everything else. Therefore, we cannot be reborn through the conventional method of metamorphosis and rebirth."

"Therefore, together with the supreme beings, we studied various ancient scriptures and the characteristics of various races, and rejected many plans before finally succeeding. The one that succeeded was based on the characteristics of the legendary Divine Silkworm race, whose every transformation is a rebirth. We obtained the ancient corpse of a Divine Silkworm, studied it in detail, and derived the method of rebirth from it."

"This method uses the old body and the old Dao fruit as a cocoon, abandoning everything from the past in exchange for a complete rebirth. But after the rebirth, we truly return to the mortal body, and everything has to start from scratch. It's as if this is the punishment for abandoning our own path."

"If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. But the problem is that after rebirth, even the primordial spirit will be rebuilt, and all past memories will disappear, just like that divine silkworm. In that case, would we still be ourselves? After all, we don't know how to retrieve our previous memories. Therefore, no one dares to use this method."

Because of this outcome, the supreme beings who had been won over by the Carefree Celestial Venerable became even more disheartened, and the small group gradually disappeared. The Carefree Celestial Venerable's eventual arrival at the Primordial Ancient Mine was also related to this.

However, Liang Yu was somewhat surprised. Each transformation was a rebirth of the divine silkworm? Wasn't this the same clan as the God Emperor? Of course, it was called the Divine Silkworm clan, but in reality, only the God Emperor himself and his younger brother, who later became the second generation of the Heavenly Court, were like this.

It's surprising that this race has been around since the mythological era. I wonder if the ancient silkworm corpses that were dissected and studied by these supreme beings are related to the God Emperor.

Liang Yu said, "Your method is effective quickly, but it's hard to guarantee your own success. My method is a bit slower to take effect, but it requires a lot of resources."

Then, Liang Yu began to explain his method. In fact, this method came from the Daoist deity Morality and the Thunderous Embryo.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality used the old body as a stone embryo and nurtured the immortal embryo using the method of nourishing the Holy Spirit. Apart from the perfect timing and location that were only truly satisfied after Liang Yu's adjustments, the greatest difficulty was to achieve complete annihilation and death while still preserving a trace of the true spirit.

Now, Liang Yu has gradually grasped the indestructible nature of the primordial spirit through the fragments of the Undying Scripture left by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the secret of the previous character. Therefore, after his improvements, the method of the Moral Heavenly Venerable for maintaining the undying true spirit has become more perfect, and can be learned and mastered by others.

After learning this method, as long as one uses one's old body as nourishment to create a new embryo, just like the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, and supplies the essence of life with celestial treasures such as immortal medicine, one can complete the rebirth.

Moreover, because a trace of their true spirit remains intact throughout the entire process, they are reborn as themselves. However, this also results in the loss of all cultivation and starting all over again. Furthermore, after being reborn in this way, they can no longer use divine treasures such as the Elixir of Immortality and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to live a second life. Even if they re-attain the Dao, their only options for immortality are reversing their current state or entering a strange world.

This is essentially a weakened version of the Thunderous Embryo. Although it's not as overpowered, it still retains a strong physique as a starting point.

However, since Lei Ze Dao Embryo is a completely new life being born, he can still consume the Immortal Elixir and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

Liang Yu originally intended to use the Kunlun Immortal Pool as a foundation and create a Reincarnation Pool using Origin Techniques. After these Supreme Beings learned this secret technique, he would use divine treasures such as the Elixir of Immortality to supply the life essence needed during the process, allowing them to reincarnate at their own expense and fight a second life.

However, Kunlun Immortal Mountain has been damaged, and the core Immortal Pool has been split in two. Furthermore, the divine springs in other wondrous places are not effective enough, which is why Liang Yu said that the conditions were not met.

However, both methods would cause them to lose their cultivation and start cultivating again as mortals. Is this a coincidence? Perhaps, as the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao said, this is the punishment in the dark for them abandoning their own path.

Actually, Liang Yu initially wanted to start with the method of transforming into a holy spirit, like the ascension of the great emperors of later generations. However, after a simple deduction, he found that the process was too slow. Putting aside the issue of success rate, the entire process alone would take tens or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Liang Yu didn't want to wait that long, as he needed these self-severed supreme beings to quickly re-establish their Dao and enter the strange world to explore. Therefore, he quickly abandoned this method and instead came up with the method he had just proposed.

Seeing the six Supreme Beings deep in thought, occasionally frowning, Liang Yu said, "Originally, that was what I thought, but now I have a new idea. Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao's method can be combined with mine."

The Supreme Being of Xuanhuang said, "I would like to hear the details."

Liang Yu then proceeded to deduce the method of the Carefree Celestial Venerable on the spot and combined it with his own method.

In this way, the method of using the old body to generate a new body, which was the same as the method of the old body to transform into a cocoon obtained from the Divine Silkworm Clan, was replaced by the method of the old body to transform into a cocoon. The Undying True Spirit and the Kunlun Immortal Pool were still preserved.

Under this new method, perhaps their past Dao fruits and laws can transform the new body into a state of almost entirely new special physique, gaining a higher starting point.

After pondering for a long time, the Carefree Celestial Venerable sighed and said, "As expected of the Great Celestial Venerable, the problem that has troubled us for so many years has been solved so easily."

The other supreme beings were sincerely convinced and said, "The Great Heavenly Venerable is indeed boundless in his Taoist magic; we admire him."

Liang Yu said, "When I repair the Kunlun Immortal Pool, I will come to guide you all to reincarnation. At that time, I have another plan that I need your help with."

The Supreme Being of Xuanhuang looked at the others and was the first to speak: "We have no way to repay the grace of being reborn. We will certainly obey the orders of the Great Heavenly Venerable. However, we do not know what the plan is?"

Liang Yu laughed and said, "Ascension, immortality, becoming an immortal."

Liang Yu did not tell them the details, but those three words alone were enough to excite them and spark their imaginations.
