Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 119 Rebirth and Its Hidden Moves
As Liang Yu stroked the crown of the humanoid divine tree, he said calmly, "If you can't say it before I lose my patience, your head will be moved."

The humanoid divine tree looked troubled, stammered, and began to sweat. This sweat emitted a sweet fragrance; it was clearly a rare divine elixir, the scent of which could extend life by a hundred years, and a sip by a thousand.

Seeing its expression, Liang Yu sighed, "Judging from your distress, this secret must be very important? Since you don't want to tell me, then..."

Upon seeing this, the humanoid divine tree immediately said, "I was afraid you would blame me, so I dared not say anything."

The unspoken part of Liang Yu's statement was not about doing anything to it. He originally wanted to say that he would see for himself, but since the humanoid divine tree had confessed on its own, he swallowed his words.

He said, "That depends on the matter. Unless this secret and your ideas will cause damage to Wuji Immortal Mountain and the Elixir of Immortality, why would I blame you?"

The humanoid divine tree's expression changed, and it became even more conflicted.

Liang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "You really want to do these things?"

The humanoid divine tree steeled its resolve and said, "Master, I had no choice before, but now I want to be a human."

Before Liang Yu could answer, it continued, "I don't know what I went through before my Nirvana, but in short, this thought has often been in my mind since I grew up this time."

"Moreover, for some reason, there seems to be a broken rune in my mind, through which I can collect immortal divinity and transform it into true spirit. I think the reason why my divine sense is so strong is because the last time I consumed immortal divinity to make my divine sense grow."

"However, this rune is fading away with the passage of time, and it is about to disappear. Therefore, this time I must gather enough immortal divinity to enhance my divine sense and try to break through the body of the immortal elixir in order to take human form. Perhaps this is my last chance."

"Therefore, after I came to this Wuji Immortal Mountain, I used this rune to absorb the immortal divinity that was dissipating from the mountain to accelerate the accumulation. Of course, this will not have any impact on the mountain."

"However, although I did not damage the Wuji Immortal Mountain, I did damage the Immortal Medicine, which is myself. In the future, I will even completely destroy the Immortal Medicine and become a real human."

“But I am already your tree, sir. If you do not agree, how can I succeed? So when you left, sir, I did have the thought that you would never come back.”

"Now I have told you everything, and I ask you, sir, for your decision."

Next, the humanoid divine tree tried to show the rune to Liang Yu, but it was unable to transmit the rune in any form, as if some inexplicable power was blocking it.

Liang Yu had studied the humanoid divine tree long ago, but he couldn't sense the presence of the runes back then, and he still can't now.

Liang Yu frowned. Runes? Could they transform immortal divinity into true spirit? Could it be that the Immortal King who transformed into a humanoid elixir of immortality had left behind a means to allow himself to be reborn?
The mythological era is not far removed from previous times, so Liang Yu often discovers some prehistoric remnants unintentionally.

However, it turns out that the humanoid divine tree, like the Chaos Green Lotus, also consumes immortal divinity to enhance its divine sense in order to take human form. No wonder its wisdom is significantly higher than that of ordinary immortal divine medicines.

The only person to have ever successfully transformed into the elixir of immortality was the Azure Emperor, and even that was due to the unique terrain of the Immortal Transformation Pool and the immortal power within the fragments of the Myriad Origin Cauldron.

Over these long years, perhaps other elixirs of immortality have also considered this, but they ultimately failed. They either remained unchanged or simply vanished completely, never to be seen again.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the elixir of immortality to transform into human form on its own. But now, the humanoid elixir of immortality has a slight chance, and it seems to come from a contingency plan of its predecessor.

However, Liang Yu knew that in the original timeline, the humanoid immortality elixir had obviously failed completely.

In later generations, after falling into the hands of the Emperor, it was eaten to prolong its life, studied in detail, and possibly used to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. Therefore, it not only had no chance to take human form, but also had much of its hard-earned immortal divinity and origin consumed.

Afterwards, the Heavenly Court of the Emperor was destroyed by the cooperation of several supreme beings in the forbidden zones. The humanoid divine tree originally wanted to escape in the chaos, but it was then affected by the continuous battle and almost disappeared completely in the process, becoming another immortal divine medicine that was completely destroyed.

In the chaos, the humanoid divine tree's body was dismembered, and the remaining foot-like roots were sealed in the source, later cut out by Ye Fan.

This two-legged root still had a tragic fate. It experienced dark turmoil, and then with the fall of the ancient Hua Dynasty, it lost even the last trace of divinity and vitality. Needless to say, the true spirit it contained and the broken rune were also lost.

Although it was restored with Ye Fan's help, it had lost all its past memories, including its obsession with human form.

Its hesitation stemmed from its awareness of its uniqueness, especially its extraordinary value to humans, which prevented it from betting that Liang Yu would relinquish his position. But now, it had no choice but to trust Liang Yu.

Liang Yu sighed, "You are the first immortal herb I obtained, and you have been with me for 100,000 years. Do you think I would stop you from taking human form just because I'm afraid of losing an immortal herb?"

"Look, what is that?"

Following the direction Liang Yu pointed, the humanoid divine tree discovered the Chaos Green Lotus in the Immortal Pool.

It turned its head and said, "This is the Chaos Green Lotus? It has also undergone Nirvana?"

Liang Yu laughed and said, "This is your fellow practitioner; it also wants to break free from the body of the immortal elixir and take human form."

The humanoid divine tree was immediately relieved. It smiled obsequiously and said, "Master, although I hope you will not come back, I did not curse you to die. I only wish you ascension. Please do not misunderstand, Master."

Liang Yu said, "Oh, is that so? Then I'll have to consider whether or not I should help you take human form."

The humanoid divine tree said, "Master, I meant no harm..."

Before it could finish speaking, Liang Yu threw it into the Yin-Yang Immortal Pool and said, "Stay put and I'll help you take human form in the future. It's just a bit of a pity, though, as two of the few remaining elixirs of immortality in the universe will be gone."

The humanoid divine tree said, "No pity, no pity. I see that this Brother Lotus is imposing and handsome, a peerless genius who will be invincible sooner or later, and his strength will be equal to mine. We two will definitely become immortals and achieve true immortality. What will the elixir of immortality be then? Once I enter the Immortal Realm, I will pick the real immortal medicine for you, Master!"

This Chaos Green Lotus is still just a seed, yet it already exudes such a magnificent and imposing aura? And...
Liang Yu ignored him and focused his energy on the rebirth of the Chaos Green Lotus. After all, this was related to his next stage of cultivation and the method of transformation for his next life.
