Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 252 Guidance
Time flies, and another five hundred years have passed. During this process, the eleven self-severing supreme beings in the Kunlun Divine Realm have all completed their reincarnation, and the eleven divine infants who were almost becoming new special physiques were sealed in the divine source by Liang Yu's departed self body.

They naturally still couldn't compare to the most elite physiques like the Chaos Body, the Immortal Elixir Transformation, the Immortal Artifact Incarnation, the Immortal Spirit Descent, or the Immortal Golden Saint Spirit, but they were still much stronger than before. After all, their past Dao Fruits as Dao Proverss had all been transformed into nourishment, nurturing a Divine Infant, and the effect was indeed superb.

The enhanced physique is only part of the equation; they also undergo a second cultivation cycle, resulting in a faster and more stable cultivation speed, and their understanding of scriptures and techniques becomes even more profound. Against them, even those geniuses from later generations who start from scratch, despite their greater potential, will inevitably suffer in the early to mid-stages.

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana was indeed the most accomplished among them, possessing extraordinary divine aura, almost otherworldly. It would be difficult for the Undying Emperor to surpass him. Therefore, Liang Yu's plan to use them as whetstones should indeed be very effective.

Of course, Liang Yu's passing did not bring the Kunlun Divine Realm back; instead, he released it back into the universe, leaving it to a destined person. After all, the Kunlun Immortal Mountain held no secrets for him anymore, and he would never need it again.

However, when placing the Kunlun Divine Realm into the depths of the universe, Liang Yu suddenly had a whim, as if this action had also produced some kind of cause and effect.

Of course, Liang Yu didn't care about this. After all, it was a good thing. Those who could trace their lineage back to him were no ordinary people, which meant that our universe would produce many talented individuals and flourish in the future.

Of course, after sending the eleven divine infants to Wuji Immortal Mountain, Liang Yu went to Kunlun Sacred Realm. After all, he was distracted by the path to immortality and the extermination of forbidden zones, and he didn't have time to properly study the Dao-Merging Flower. This flower is even rarer than the Immortal Elixir, and it is indeed worth studying in detail.

However, at this moment, the world trembled once again, thunder rumbled and echoed throughout the universe; lightning flashed and illuminated the endless starry sky.

This means that someone has once again triggered the tribulation of attaining the Dao, and it's two people doing it simultaneously. They are none other than old acquaintances: the Ancestor of the Undying Golden Body and the Ancestor of the Overlord Body. Now over two thousand years old, after accumulating five hundred years of experience, they are once again challenging for the position of attaining the Dao.

They seemed to be competing with each other, triggering a great calamity in the remote corners of the adjacent universe, as if afraid that if they were too far away, the other would not be able to see their actions.

Startled, Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun traversed the starry sky to arrive at this place, joining in to witness the two undergoing their tribulations. Of course, Daode Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun, though also disturbed, did not come. They were busy preparing for their next incarnation and researching the wondrous lands they had acquired, setting up their own Daoist altars within them. Therefore, this matter naturally held little interest for them.

Within the two seas of lightning, countless humanoid and celestial forms of lightning were shattered one by one. They floated in the sea of ​​lightning, each with boundless energy, seemingly indestructible.

But then, the sea of ​​thunder trembled, as if the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had been enraged by their provocation. Countless runes fell, piercing through the almost indestructible bodies of the two progenitors. The runes were even deeply imprinted into their very essence, making them impossible to remove. If this continued, they would inevitably suffer irreversible damage sooner or later, or even die.

Left with no other choice, they had to give up. Of course, in order to last longer than the other, they deliberately lingered a little longer until both of them couldn't take it anymore and stopped their tribulations. Of course, in the end, they still couldn't determine who was superior.

Immediately, the two began to absorb the essence of the universe, painstakingly repairing their injuries. Other injuries were manageable, but the backlash from these Great Dao runes—the myriad paths of the universe—had inflicted severe Dao injuries upon them, which would likely require a great deal of effort to remove.

Many cultivators throughout the universe were also watching the outcome. Seeing their ultimate failure, they had no choice but to accept that the universe hadn't changed at all; one person still reigned supreme. Those multiple supreme auras from two thousand years ago might not have originated from complete Dao-proving individuals, but rather from incomplete Dao-proving individuals who had severed their own supreme status.

In the desolate wilderness of the universe, the Immortal Golden Body Ancestor and the Overlord Body Ancestor sat facing each other and engaged in a very harmonious exchange.

The progenitor of the Overlord Body sighed, "It seems that we are ultimately unable to overcome these obstacles."

The Undying Golden Body Ancestor said, "Are you going to give up?" The Overlord Body Ancestor laughed and said, "Proving the Dao is my lifelong wish, how could I give up? It's just that now we have no choice but to seal ourselves away to the future and try to break through in an environment without those who have proven the Dao."

The Immortal Golden Body Ancestor sighed, "It seems there's no other way. However, I will definitely be faster than you."

In the void, the Primordial Celestial Venerable seemed quite interested in these two physiques. He said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, these two physiques seem to be somewhat unusual. Perhaps only the Chaos Physique can surpass them."

Liang Yu shook his head and said, "Although these two types of physiques seem to be slightly superior to other first-class physiques in the universe, they have the limitation of being difficult to attain the Dao. Perhaps this is what they mean by 'you can't have everything.'"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable also said, "However, if this limitation can be overcome, their potential is probably quite great. After all, their talents and abilities are not bad either, and they complement these two physiques perfectly."

Liang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is right. If they can really take this step, then their future is indeed promising. I think we can give them some pointers. I wonder if they will enter a strange world, or if they will rely on immortality pills and nine-turn immortal pills like Ying Shenxiao to prolong their lifespan and seek a way to break through."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Or, we can use the Dao-Merging Flower. Judging from their performance, I'm afraid one Dao-Merging Flower would be enough for both of them to attain Dao."

Liang Yu was slightly taken aback and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what about your beloved?"

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said, "She wants to retain her human form, so I have no choice but to let her. As long as I enter the Immortal Realm in the future, or become stronger, this will not be a problem. For now, I can only let her continue to sleep in the Immortal Source."

Liang Yu said, "In that case, this item is indeed suitable for the two of them."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Then let's go and see them."

Having said that, Yuanshi Tianzun no longer concealed his aura and took a step forward. Liang Yu shook his head and followed him out.

Seeing that the two progenitors were about to rise and pay their respects, Yuanshi Tianzun said, "There is no need for such formalities. We have come here to lend you a helping hand."

As he spoke, he and Liang Yu each made their moves, pulling out the Dao runes from their bodies.

"Thank you for your help, two Heavenly Venerables!"

The two progenitors spoke in unison.
