Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 11 Blackmail Part 2

Upon hearing this, the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder how much the Heavenly Venerable needs? Our resources are meager, and I'm afraid we can't afford too much."

Liang Yu shook the desolate tower above his head and said, "There are probably as many as ten or eight towers like this that can be built."

Xuan Yu Supreme and Qing You Supreme were immediately overcome with rage and almost stood up to fight Liang Yu. However, at the behest of Huang Xue Chi Jin Supreme, they held back.

Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme took a deep breath, his smile stiffening: "You jest, Celestial Venerable. My Xuanqiong Mountain is a small and insignificant place; how could I possibly afford so much?"

Liang Yu downed his tea in one gulp, looked at a sacred mountain in the distance, and said, "Really? I think there's enough immortal gold there to build three or five pagodas?"

"Those are the remains of my ancestors! Don't push your luck!" Xuan Yu Supreme finally couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his fist on the table. His terrifying aura emanated from his immortal source, causing the ancient star Xuan Qiong to tremble.

"Oh, so it's the remains of our ancestors. What about over there?" Liang Yu turned his gaze to the center of the mountain range below.

Even the Azure Nether Supreme couldn't hold back any longer: "Those are my clan's unborn descendants!"

The desolate tower atop Liangyu Peak trembled, celestial light flowed, and even the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth on Xuanqiong Divine Mountain was forced to retreat, daring not to resist it.

He said leisurely, "You, a race born of nature, how come you have elderly parents and young children to care for? Are you trying to deceive me? Do you want to test whether my Desolate Tower can suppress and kill a few Supreme Beings?"

Under this oppressive aura, both Xuan Yu Supreme and Qing You Supreme were forced back several steps. Seeing their self-sealed immortal source begin to disintegrate, they were filled with fear and hurriedly channeled their energy to resist. This immortal source was the key to their self-sealing, and they could not afford to lose it.

Although the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme was sitting calmly, chains of divine law formed from firelight appeared on his body. These chains formed divine phoenixes, separating the oppressive aura.

Seeing the situation was not good, the six supreme beings outside the main hall also began to activate the array patterns. The entire Xuanqiong Divine Mountain lit up with divine light, and even the laws and origins of the entire Xuanqiong Ancient Star were mobilized.

Liang Yu continued to intensify his efforts, and the nine immortals in the desolate tower reappeared, their immortal light flowing. Under this terrifying pressure, the Xuanqiong Divine Mountain began to gradually develop cracks, and the entire ancient star began to tremble, as if it were about to disintegrate.

Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme saw that Liang Yu had actually begun to destroy the Dao principles and terrain of Xuanqiong Divine Mountain. If this continued, the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land would probably be destroyed.

He sadly discovered that without sublimation, the three of them were completely unable to resist, and even with sublimation, it would only prolong the time.

So he could only say, "Celestial Venerable, please withdraw your supernatural powers. We can still discuss this further."

Liang Yu smiled slightly, suppressing his aura, and the desolate tower also withdrew its immortal light: "I am a very easy person to talk to, after all, I am not a demon. Therefore, I will not harm your ancestors and descendants. Besides that, take out whatever immortal gold you have left."

Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme felt a pang of heartache, but still laid out several large pieces of immortal gold. Half of them were Divine Mark Purple Gold, and the other half were Dao Tribulation Gold. This immortal gold was enough for Liang Yu to forge two more Dao Proof Pagodas.

Liang Yu put away the immortal gold. Although he knew the other party was still holding back, he didn't press further. He cupped his hands and said, "Is that all? Never mind, since you've been so kind, I'll give you face. We'll meet again someday. By the way, this tea is quite good, I'll take it with me."

Watching Liang Yu leave leisurely, Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme took a deep breath and calmed his emotions.

"Oh, right, there's something I forgot to mention. I also have quite a few juniors, so I just took some Nine Aperture Spirit-Connecting Elixir. I hope you won't mind?" Liang Yu suddenly turned back and said with a smile.

Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme forced a smile and said, "It's not my fault, it's not my fault. It was our rudeness that we forgot to take care of the Heavenly Venerable's juniors."

He breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Liang Yu leave.

"Oh, right, there's something else I forgot to mention. I also have quite a few elders, so I took some sacred medicines and the King of Medicines with me. I hope you won't mind?" Liang Yu returned a second time and suddenly reappeared at the entrance of the main hall, still smiling as he spoke. The Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme gritted his teeth and forced out a sentence: "Respecting elders is a matter of course. We forgot to greet them, so we apologize. Consider these as our tokens of sympathy."

Liang Yu nodded, cupped his hands in a salute, and left again. This time he was truly gone, but he left behind a sentence that echoed in the air.

"Mount Xuanqiong is indeed extraordinary, and you fellow Daoists are truly generous. Perhaps I will come here often in the future. You all won't be unwelcome to me, will you? Hahahaha..."

Finally, the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme could no longer suppress his anger. The white jade table in front of him turned into dust, and streaks of fire transformed into divine phoenixes. The main hall vaporized and disappeared, and the entire starry sky trembled from the force of the attack.

He sneered, "So you're the Limitless Celestial Venerable! Just wait, you'll have your day of reckoning sooner or later. Today's humiliation, I will wash away with my blood in the future! You'd better not die, but commit suicide like us, so that we can settle our karmic debts on the path to immortality!"

Xuan Yu Supreme and Qing You Supreme exchanged a glance. To prevent themselves from going berserk, they sealed off their five senses and handed the situation over to Huang Xue Chi Jin Supreme. Therefore, they did not listen to anything Liang Yu said afterward.

They never expected that Liang Yu could anger the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme, who had cultivated his character for many years, to such an extent.

After leaving the Xuanqiong Ancient Star, Liang Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "These Holy Spirits are really rich. I wish I had a chance to get more gold coins. But they have pretty good tempers; they actually held back."

Liang Yu's frequent provocations were intended to draw out someone with a bad temper, but it now seems that his and Huangta's deterrent power has indeed kept these Holy Spirits from acting out.

Fortunately, it was just a casual attempt, and we didn't really expect to achieve anything.

Liang Yu's purpose in entering the Xuanqiong Ancient Star this time was secondary; his primary motivation was to observe the ancient star and the Xuanqiong Divine Mountain in order to uncover the secrets of the Holy Spirit.

The later Emperor Yuhua transformed himself from a human into a holy spirit, and then reappeared in the world as a holy spirit to prove the truth once again.

Although he was very unlucky, because the actions of his descendants angered the Ruthless Great Emperor, and he was confined to the Ancient Star of Ascension until his death, his method of achieving immortality is indeed worth learning from.

However, since the Feathered Emperor and his dynasty inherited part of the legacy of the Heavenly Court, his method of transforming into a Holy Spirit might also have come from the Heavenly Court, or perhaps it was inspired by the Heavenly Court.

After the Emperor established the Heavenly Court, he discussed and expounded the Dao with the various supreme beings, summarizing the various achievements of the mythological era. The source of this method of transforming into a Holy Spirit may be this conference.

Therefore, Liang Yu, who lived in the mythological era, had a high probability of mastering this method.

If he can take over this sacred holy land, he will definitely become a holy holy being much faster, at least he won't sleep for seven or eight hundred thousand years like the Feathered Emperor.

This was also a backup plan he had prepared. He already knew most of the truth about the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land. Perhaps after living a few more lifetimes and not finding a new way to transform, he would have to confiscate the property of the Xuanqiong Divine Mountain, and then sleep for hundreds of thousands of years to become a Holy Spirit.

In order to successfully navigate the path to immortality in the mortal world, Liang Yu had to begin making some preparations in advance.

As for why we don't just destroy Xuanqiong Divine Mountain now, it's because there are too many supreme beings in the forbidden zones of this era.

Liang Yu could say that the destruction of the Heavenly River Divine Realm was just a coincidence, but if he were to destroy the Profound Sky Divine Mountain as well, it was hard to guarantee that the supreme beings in other forbidden zones would not join forces against him, which would be detrimental to his path to immortality in the mortal world.

Anyway, it'll just be a matter of dealing with them later. As long as he can live for five, six, seven, or eight lifetimes, he won't be afraid of all these supreme beings coming at him at once. Right now, all he needs to do is prevent these supreme beings from launching the Dark Turmoil.
