Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 249 Restoring Mount Tai
Liang Yu left the Immortal Bell in the Ascension Array and then said, "Now that the Ascension Plan is basically complete, we should all start cultivating. After all, our lifespans in this life are not very long, and we should prepare for our transformation."

These people before us probably have several thousand to tens of thousands of years left to live. After all, Lingbao Tianzun is already over 40,000 years old in this life, and Daode Tianzun, although he awakened later, has also lived for about 40,000 years. Liang Yu himself is already 50,000 years old in this life.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable is now 20,000 years old, and he is beginning to decline. Perhaps in this life, he will have a lifespan of about 30,000 years, just like Liang Yu's second incarnation.

Therefore, within ten thousand years, they will successively begin their next life. Although they have basically explored the general path of the future, there are still considerable risks in truly implementing it, so it is indeed necessary to prepare in advance.

Upon hearing this, the group parted ways and each began their own cultivation.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality summoned the Great Luo Immortal Mountain and used four items he had crafted—the Taiji Diagram, the Vajra Bracelet, the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda—as the array's cores to form a grand array. Subsequently, this immortal mountain, which resembled a paradise on earth, flew into the depths of the universe.

The immortal sword in Lingbao Tianzun's hand disintegrated, transforming once again into an array diagram and a killing sword, which fell into Yuhua Divine Island, driving the island into the depths of the universe.

Yuanshi Tianzun naturally departed as well. He hadn't had the Dao-Merging Flower long enough to fully explore its mysteries. He needed to achieve a transformative result before this lifetime.

Seeing the three leave, Liang Yu summoned Mount Sumeru and Burial Island and held them in his palm.

Although he had already set up numerous arrays around the world rift, considering its inherent danger, Liang Yu also left the Bronze Immortal Palace within the arrays. Through his interactions with Lingbao Tianzun and Mingzun, he had become increasingly proficient in the fusion of source techniques and array patterns. Therefore, the array he set up here was still a hybrid array pattern powered and replenished by source techniques. Moreover, he had also left a domain gate within the array so that anyone who activated this place could be immediately teleported here.

Next, he headed to the ancient primordial star. Now that he had acquired Burial Sky Island, it was time to try and repair Mount Tai.

After Yuanshi Tianzun attained enlightenment, the demon race of the ancient primordial star was completely suppressed and could no longer compete with the human race.

However, it was precisely because of the rise of the human race on the ancient star of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable that the demon race saw that the situation was hopeless and had no choice but to leave their homeland, wander into the starry sky, and leave the ancient star of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

The Yuanxiang King, whom they had once meticulously nurtured, ultimately showed some lingering affection and found them a suitable ancient star for life. He then used his great supernatural powers to open an ancient star road, connecting it to the existing ancient road of the demon race. Of course, the Myriad Demon Cave that created him was moved there intact. Although they abandoned the ancient primordial star, they still harbored a lingering desire to reclaim it.

Therefore, Mount Tai still does not belong to any single power. In fact, it has truly become a sacred mountain for humanity, and human cultivators from the ancient primordial star consider it an honor to leave their names here. However, after all these years, the title of the Primordial Heavenly King remains at the top, unshakeable.

Liang Yu quietly entered, unnoticed by the cultivators guarding the perimeter. At this moment, Mount Tai was almost level with the sky, perhaps even larger than the Earth in later generations, but it had shrunk many times over compared to its peak when it surveyed the stars from a great height.

Upon reaching the summit of Mount Tai, Liang Yu unleashed countless Origin Heaven Divine Runes. The remaining laws and Dao traces within the mountain's structure, along with the grand formation, were all repaired and activated by Liang Yu, developing in a direction similar to the current Burial Sky Island. Meanwhile, Burial Sky Island, which he held in his palm with great divine power, also began to be manipulated by the Origin Heaven Divine Runes, gradually resonating with Mount Tai.

Seeing the two begin to merge, he descended Burial Sky Island, countless Origin Heaven Divine Runes stirring the earth's energy to reunite the two. Under his Origin Technique, Burial Sky Island and Mount Tai began to rapidly assimilate and gradually merge into one. It was at this moment that Liang Yu sensed several figures tracing back through time and space, looking towards him from the long river of time.

Liang Yu had anticipated this, so he wasn't bothered by it. However, what puzzled him was the sheer number of people tracing back through time—only a handful. He had initially expected a large group, like the one who had severed the connection to this place by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. Could it be that someone might use Mount Tai as their cultivation ground in the future, or even directly cultivate into an Earth Immortal using Mount Tai as their blessed land? That's why there are so few people tracing back to this place in the future?
Liang Yu shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and turned his gaze back to Mount Tai.

Under the influence of the laws that made Burial Sky Island self-contained, Mount Tai began to change gradually. The Dao traces that had gradually dissipated or been altered reappeared, and the broken laws began to be reconnected.

Under this influence, Mount Tai began to develop its own unique charm. Its external size did not change significantly, but once you entered the area of ​​Mount Tai, you would find that the space here had begun to be distorted and became larger and larger.

With Liang Yu's Source Technique assistance and the special laws of Burial Sky Island, Mount Tai has begun to repair itself, and the speed is even accelerating. If this continues, perhaps in hundreds of thousands of years, this sacred mountain will be able to recover to its former size.

However, it was precisely because of this that cultivators from the outside world began to discover the miraculous aspects of Mount Tai, marveling at how this sacred mountain could be revitalized. After all, they had foreseen that Mount Tai would gradually decline, but now this process seemed to have been completely altered.

Of course, Liang Yu set up array patterns in the core area, which is the area where Burial Sky Island is located, to prevent others from entering and affecting the restoration of this place. Therefore, even if the cultivators of the ancient primordial star explore in every way, they will find it difficult to know the reason.

Next was Mount Sumeru. However, this mountain wasn't of much use to Liang Yu, so he only needed to understand its fundamental laws. After all, Mount Sumeru hadn't yet been transformed by the immeasurable power of faith gathered by the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, so there weren't many aspects that required his attention.

However, because of his role in pacifying the forbidden zone and establishing the immortal gate for future generations to continue the path to immortality, his previously stagnant faith power experienced another surge. Moreover, it's foreseeable that this trend will continue after the Primordial Celestial Venerable feigns ascension. The divine embryo within his pagoda is now fully formed.

It could be said that if Liang Yu were to enlighten him, he could create a divine self even more powerful than that of an ordinary Daoist. However, Liang Yu still did not do so. He wanted to leave this divine embryo for the future, choosing a suitable time to unleash its power.

Liang Yu left behind the Daoist body to remain here and study Mount Sumeru, while his true body returned to Mount Wuji to carry out his final cultivation before his transformation.
