Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 244 Immortal Sect
There are a total of thirty immortal herbs in the universe. They are not all transformed from dead immortals; some are former immortal herbs that have been downgraded. Perhaps those that can survive even after suffering various fundamental damage are the transformations of dead immortal kings, while the others that have disappeared into the long river of history are downgraded immortal herbs.

Of course, there was no evidence or reason for this; it was just Liang Yu's guess.

Among the immortal medicines that have now appeared in the world, the Humanoid Immortal Medicine, the Chaos Green Lotus Immortal Medicine, the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, the Fusang Divine Tree, and the Laurel Divine Tree are in Liang Yu's hands and are active in Wuji Immortal Mountain; the Flint Essence separated from the Immortal Fire is also being nurtured in Wuji Immortal Mountain, waiting for the day when it will be restored by Liang Yu.

The True Dragon Elixir of Immortality was obtained by Long Xiaotian and is still on the Ancient Star of Ten Thousand Dragons, but it is hidden deep in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest; the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality is in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, controlled by Ying Shenxiao, who used it to live another life.

The Ancient Tree of Life originally resided in the Underworld, but was released back into the universe by the aging Underworld Lord, and its whereabouts are unknown. The Ginseng Fruit Tree is in the Immortal Mausoleum, and has now formed a semi-symbiotic relationship with the Celestial Lord of Longevity, helping each other to accelerate their growth. The Ancient Bodhi Tree has fallen into the hands of the Celestial Lord of Morality. During his travels throughout the universe, the Primordial Celestial Lord also found the Immortal Tree Jianmu through the Jianmu trunk of the Primordial Banner.

It can be said that, excluding the destroyed elixirs of immortality, Liang Yu has already obtained information on at least half of them, and possibly more. After all...

Among the ten forbidden zones they destroyed, there were also three kinds of elixirs of immortality. The Jade Flower Divine Island, destroyed by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, contained the Xuanwu Elixir of Immortality, also known as the Elixir of Ten Thousand Years. The Heavenly Realm, captured by Liang Yu, contained the Peach Tree of Immortality. The Great Luo Immortal Mountain, destroyed by the Celestial Venerable Daode, contained the Vermilion Bird Elixir of Immortality.

It can be said that of the known elixirs of immortality still existing, only the Qilin Elixir of Immortality, the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, and the Nine Mysteries Elixir of Immortality remain undiscovered. Of course, Liang Yu is unsure whether there are any other elixirs of immortality that haven't appeared in later generations. Perhaps these eighteen elixirs of immortality are all that remain.

Of course, just like with other wondrous places, Liang Yu did not intend to take all the elixirs of immortality into his own hands. He would put most of the immortal elixirs he already possessed back into the universe.

After thoroughly studying the transformations of the Chaos Green Lotus and the Humanoid Divine Tree, Liang Yu will collect all the elixirs of immortality, allowing them to transform into human form. Therefore, the Primordial Era may be the last time these elixirs of immortality exist. In the Desolate Ancient Era, we may only see these transformed elixirs being rebuilt.

The resources within these forbidden zones have been largely exhausted, so the only valuable things left are the terrain itself and the elixir of immortality found within.

Whether these terrains are extraordinary or not, they can all help Liang Yu improve his Origin Techniques and make the Wuji Immortal Mountain even more powerful. These elixirs of immortality can help Liang Yu further study the essence of elixirs of immortality and explore the methods for transforming the divine elixir of immortality into human form.

Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun used the wondrous Yuhua Divine Island and Daluo Immortal Mountain they had conquered as their Daoist temples, and rebuilt their Biyou Palace and Bajing Palace; Yuanshi Tianzun refined the Dark Ice Plain into a Daoist platform, which could both assist in cultivation and serve as a Daoist seal, but since no deity was born there, it could only be used as a secret artifact.

The Underworld Emperor dismantled the Cloud Realm to strengthen the Underworld, causing layers of dark clouds to appear above it, making it more complete. The Eternal Celestial Venerable dismantled the Heavenly Illusionary Mirage, imbuing the Immortal Tomb with a Daoist aura that was both real and illusory, further strengthening it. In Liang Yu's hands, the Heavenly Abyss had been destroyed, and the Heavenly Court was about to use it to repair Mount Tai. The Sea of ​​Reincarnation was refined by the Underworld Venerable into a new Lake of Reincarnation, which fell into the Underworld and was obtained by the current Underworld Emperor.

That leaves only the Amethyst Palace and Mount Sumeru. Seeing that the others weren't interested, Liang Yu had no choice but to put them away himself.

Now that the spoils had been distributed, it was time for the crucial next step in their plan. The Eternal Celestial Venerable and the Underworld Emperor departed separately, as their future paths were already determined and had little to do with the subsequent plans.

Liang Yu said, "I will have to trouble you three fellow Daoists to put on a show for me this time." The three of them already knew the details of the plan, so they naturally agreed without hesitation.

The path to immortality is nearing its end; it seems this momentous event that shook the universe is finally coming to a close. Cultivators throughout the universe are filled with awe, wondering if no one will ultimately achieve immortality in this lifetime.
Those dozens of auras were so immense, displaying a spectacle unprecedented in this era of multiple Dao Proving Beings coexisting. But could it be that even they couldn't break into the Immortal Realm? If not, why would they target the forbidden zone of life and completely ignore the path to immortality?
Just as they were feeling regret and despair, four auras soared into the sky. The Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuji, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Daode, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Lingbao, and the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi released their full power without any concealment and arrived before the Path to Immortality.

At this moment, all cultivators in the universe, regardless of their location, felt this terrifying, world-destroying aura. Even those not physically present were stirred by this aura, allowing them to glimpse the scene beside the Path to Immortality. They could even faintly sense the conversation between the four Heavenly Venerables.

This was, of course, intentional on the part of Liang Yu and his associates. They needed enough witnesses to plant the seeds of the Ascension Plan.

Then the Primordial Celestial Venerable asked, "Great Celestial Venerable, may I ask if there are immortals in the world?"

This sentence expressed the sentiments of all cultivators in the universe. They eagerly awaited a positive answer from the Great Celestial Venerable who had once ascended to immortality in legend and had now reappeared in the mortal realm.

Liang Yu said, "Immortals certainly exist. I have already sensed the location of another world. This time, it will be the time for me, Daoist Morality, and Daoist Lingbao to determine the path to ascension."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable then asked, "Although I have sensed that world, I'm afraid even those who have attained enlightenment would find it difficult to enter."

Liang Yu sighed, "Attaining the Dao is not the end. Only after reaching the peak and attaining the Dao can one take another step forward and have hope of ascension. Even if we forge the Immortal Gate together this time, I'm afraid even ordinary Dao attainers will find it difficult to open it."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Since the Great Heavenly Venerable has such a plan, then we need not hesitate. Let us only hope that those who come after us can be courageous and diligent, and reach even greater heights."

As they spoke, the four of them attacked together, and the terrifying power that seemed capable of collapsing and destroying the universe directly pierced through the path to immortality.

Boundless celestial light shone forth, obscuring everything in the universe, and even the vast universe itself began to tremble.

After a long while, all the aura dissipated, leaving only a portal woven from endless immortal light and the Primordial Celestial Venerable watching the other three depart.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said to himself, "The Immortal Gate is complete."
