Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 241 Reincarnation Plan Launched
After the destruction of the various forbidden zones, Liang Yu's allies began to rush towards him and gathered together. Even though the Underworld Lord had disappeared, there were still more than ten supreme auras in the universe. Their auras merged into one, almost causing the entire universe to sink, as if it were being suppressed and unable to function freely.

Liang Yu, along with Daode Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Yuanshi Tianzun, naturally stood out from the crowd. Their auras were the most terrifying, even suppressing the Great Dao of the Universe, as if they could already transcend the universe.

Next came the Eternal Celestial Venerable and the Prison Suppressor Emperor, as they were also quasi-Heavenly Emperors. Although they were no longer human, their auras were even more immense, almost one with the universe, as if they had become the embodiment of the universe's origin.

Next is the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation. Even though he recovered to his peak with the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, he was still a powerful Dao Proving Person. Therefore, he was actually the last of the nine existing Celestial Venerables.

As for the five Supreme Beings of the Primordial Ancient Mine, the two Supreme Beings who had returned from the Heavenly Illusion Mirage Realm, and the three Supreme Beings who had returned from the Cloud Soaring Divine Realm, they were all at the normal level of Dao Proving Beings. If one had to say, the Xuanhuang Supreme Being might be slightly stronger than the others, after all, he was also the current master of the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Then there were four others who achieved enlightenment through unconventional means. Of course, apart from Ying Shenxiao, the other three were not as powerful as ordinary Dao-proving individuals. But in any case, these twenty-one people were indeed the most powerful force existing in this universe.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liang Yu waved his hand, and a celestial mountain descended, with forty-nine dragon veins converging within it. The central celestial pool shimmered and emitted a fragrant aroma that was so invigorating that one felt refreshed and reborn. The entire celestial mountain seemed like a fairyland.

This is, of course, one of the three Kunlun Immortal Mountains that were restored and rebuilt by the Underworld Lord and Liang Yu, and is known as the Kunlun Divine Realm. It is also a wondrous place that they have preserved for use as a reincarnation pool.

Liang Yu said, "This time, we have ended millions of years of darkness and turmoil, and brought a bright and clear world to humanity. You all have done great deeds."

"Where there is merit, there is reward. You eleven fellow Daoists have severed your path to immortality by cutting your own flesh, making it difficult to continue. I will give you a chance. As long as you choose to abandon your past Dao fruits and reincarnate, I will use this Immortal Pool to reshape your bodies, allowing you to start anew and be even better than before."

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana and the five Supreme Beings from the Primordial Ancient Mine already knew about this, and they also knew that Liang Yu could send them to another world. Although they didn't know anything about that world, they still had hope. So they couldn't help but show excitement, preparing to welcome their new life.

The five supreme beings in the Heavenly Illusion Mirage Realm and the Cloud Soaring Divine Realm hesitated. After all, the price of giving up everything was too high. Moreover, even if they made further progress in their second life, it would be difficult for them to surpass this life by much, and there would still be no hope of becoming immortals.

Seeing through their doubts, Liang Yu continued, "You may have questions. Even if you were to be reborn, you would only be trapped in the realm of enlightenment, unable to make further progress, let alone become an immortal. But this is on the premise of staying in the mortal world. If you were to enter a world with a better environment, free from the restrictions of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, would you still stop progressing?"

Upon hearing this, the five supreme beings were immediately shocked. Another world with a better environment? Isn't that the Immortal Realm? Could it be that the Boundless Great Celestial Venerable has really become powerful enough to open the gates of the Immortal Realm at any time?

Liang Yu said, "I can tell you that there is more than one way to become an immortal, but none of them are things that you can achieve in your current state. Only when you are reborn and have achieved self-perfection can you continue."

Liang Yu wasn't entirely lying. After all, none of the existing extraordinary locations were a good fit for them, so they couldn't pursue the path of Earth Immortals. As for the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal path, which evolved from the Nascent Soul Dao-Merging Soldier, Liang Yu hadn't studied it much himself, leaving it to the Boundless Dao Stele. Therefore, this path was still incomplete, with only a rough idea. So, they truly had no choice but to reincarnate and start cultivating again.

Seeing that these people were looking at them, Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun nodded in confirmation, proving that the matter was indeed true. Therefore, the five supreme beings naturally no longer hesitated. With four levels of confirmation from Wuji Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Yuanshi Tianzun, how could it be fake? How could these few insignificant beings be worth these people going out of their way to deceive? Although Liang Yu didn't reveal the details, they now had a goal to strive for.

So they said in unison, "We are willing to follow the arrangements of the Great Heavenly Venerable."

The reason Liang Yu didn't tell them the details was to prevent them from taking shortcuts. After all, these supreme beings, and even the later ancient emperors, had spent half their lives trying to attain enlightenment. If they had known about the existence of this strange world earlier, many of them would probably have left the mortal realm to seek immortality.

After all, after fighting for half a lifetime, can't we enjoy ourselves a bit? With such a good place to go, who would want to stay in such a harsh environment as the human world? Otherwise, much of the ambition and potential gained in the human world would be wasted.

Therefore, Liang Yu would give them hope, letting them know that becoming an immortal was absolutely possible, thus keeping them motivated to continue their efforts and progress. In this process, he would then directly disseminate his experience with these methods of achieving immortality, and even use other methods to guide them, so that they could find the right direction and avoid going astray or reinventing the wheel.

However, Liang Yu would also conceal the ascension plan, forcing them to struggle arduously in the mortal realm until they reached the end of their lives before learning about the ascension plan and continuing their journey. This was to maximize their potential and also to temper their character.

Although these supreme beings before him were whetstones prepared by Liang Yu for certain individuals from the Primordial Era, if they developed well, they could at least bolster his influence in the future. And if a few of them were late bloomers, they might become elite junior generals, so they wouldn't be entirely useless.

Seeing that they had all expressed their opinions, Liang Yu then taught them the method of reincarnation. However, although the Kunlun Divine Realm had basically recovered, it was still not easy to support the reincarnation of a group of supreme beings, so they still had to take turns.

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana was naturally the first. Firstly, because he was the strongest among the eleven self-severed Supreme Beings; secondly, because he was most suited to this method; and thirdly, because he had long since mastered the method of reincarnation. In other words, he had made ample preparations beforehand.

Liang Yu knew that although others had decided to take this path, they would inevitably feel uneasy. Therefore, he had specially arranged for the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana to serve as a benchmark and role model.

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana naturally didn't mind, readily throwing all his possessions into the Reincarnation Pool. Liang Yu, referencing the sacrificial method of the Celestial Venerable of Freedom, more efficiently transformed these divine treasures into immortal elixir for replenishment. Of course, to prevent any problems with this method, Liang Yu didn't use it directly, but rather simulated its characteristics through the Unity of All Laws. Although the effect wasn't as good, it was still significantly more efficient than his previous methods.

The countless Origin Heaven Divine Runes and Array Runes that Liang Yu laid out intertwined greatly enhanced the characteristics of the new life within the Kunlun Immortal Pool, slightly altering its nature. Of course, this was not irreversible; as long as he removed these Origin Heaven Divine Runes and Array Runes, the Kunlun Immortal Pool would return to its original appearance.

Seeing that the Reincarnation Pool was ready, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana jumped into it and activated the Reincarnation Technique.
