Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 265 Chaos
After bidding farewell to Ying Shenxiao and witnessing the rebirth of the two progenitors, Liang Yu returned to Wuji Immortal Mountain.

Following the method of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, Liang Yu successfully combined his own Great Dao Laws with his Undying True Spirit to create a fragment of the Great Dao, which he then integrated into the seed of the Chaos Green Lotus, which was still undergoing Nirvana. This fragment of the Great Dao was naturally derived from the Chaos Laws of his "All Laws Return to One".

The Chaos Green Lotus is currently in a deep slumber. Although it sensed his aura, it did not resist. Instead, it actively cooperated, allowing Liang Yu's fragments of the Great Dao to enter its core.

This can be considered a win-win situation. If it were before, the Chaos Green Lotus would naturally not need to comprehend the laws of chaos from Liang Yu, but now that it is just an immortal divine medicine that wants to take human form, the laws of chaos that Liang Yu, who is about to become a chaotic body, has acquired later will naturally be useful to it.

However, upon entering the lotus seed, Liang Yu's Dao Imprint seemed to sense an aura that didn't belong to the Chaos Azure Lotus. This aura, however, was already fading and about to disappear completely. This aura also felt strangely familiar to Liang Yu. It was the aura of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, only stronger than the one he had encountered at Mount Tai.

Following this aura, Liang Yu's fragments of the Great Dao penetrated deeper, eventually discovering a drop of blood on the verge of disappearing within the origin of the Chaos Green Lotus. Although this drop of blood was about to vanish, it still contained extraordinary laws. This was, in fact, one of the reasons why the Chaos Green Lotus could continuously undergo rebirth and ultimately take human form.

Of course, the transformation of the Chaos Green Lotus was caused by a series of factors, and this drop of blood was only one of them. After all, this drop of blood was to ensure the Chaos Green Lotus's successful rebirth and continued existence.

Sitting beside the Yin-Yang Immortal Pool, Liang Yu relied on this fragment of the Great Dao to comprehend the most core chaotic law within the Chaos Green Lotus. Although it was already incomplete, this law still faintly possessed a mystery far more profound than the chaos in the human universe.

Liang Yu remained seated for centuries. While his fragments of the Great Dao entered the Chaos Lotus to comprehend the laws of chaos and strive to further refine them, his true form continued to evolve the immortal techniques of the Phoenix lineage. Originally, he only desired the unification of all laws, naturally giving rise to the Chaos Body. But now, after experiencing various events over the years, Liang Yu wanted to go a step further, achieving perfection.

This was also spurred on by Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun. After all, these two were incredibly skilled and daring, employing new methods he hadn't even considered. How could he allow this? He was, after all, a Great Celestial Venerable, the number one figure of the mythological era. If he were to be surpassed, how could he maintain that title and its prestige in the future? That's why Liang Yu endured these extra few hundred years, further accelerating his transformation.

Of course, after hundreds of years of refinement, Liang Yu's life has truly reached its final moment.

All told, he has lived for a full 60,000 years in this fourth incarnation, an unimaginably long period of time. After all, many Dao-proving cultivators, even after consuming the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and the Elixir of Immortality, have not lived as long as he has in this lifetime.

Moreover, in the mythological era, this lifetime of 60,000 years was the highest record. After all, none of the most outstanding figures of the mythological era, such as the Underworld Lord, the Moral Heavenly Lord, the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord, and the Primordial Heavenly Lord, have ever lived such a long lifetime.

If we also consider the 100,000 years that Liang Yu lived in his previous three lifetimes, Liang Yu has lived a total of 160,000 years in these four lifetimes, which does indeed sound like a very long period of time.

Now it's time to begin the next life. Of course, due to the characteristics of the Yin-Yang Dao Body, he could actually continue to endure for a while longer, but it's no longer necessary. No longer maintaining his current state, Liang Yu's aura began to fluctuate continuously. The deceased Liang Yu, who was comprehending the Dao-Merging Flower in the Kunlun Sacred Realm, and the Daoist Liang Yu, who was stationed at Mount Tai, were naturally affected. They broke through the void and returned to their original bodies. Even the Dao imprint he had refined into the Chaos Green Lotus returned to his body.

Ultimately, to achieve a complete transformation, one must reach the state of perfection. These powers cannot be distributed to prevent the transformation from being incomplete.

Yuanshi Tianzun followed closely behind and also arrived at Wuji Immortal Mountain. He was actually already at his limit, and if it weren't for wanting to experience the feeling of sending off the senior Liang Yu on his journey, he would have already begun his transformation.

Upon returning to Wuji Immortal Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but sigh, realizing that this place might truly become the number one immortal mountain in the universe. At this moment, Wuji Immortal Mountain was filled with chaotic energy, and countless Origin Heaven Divine Patterns stirred the special laws and Dao traces within the immortal mountain, causing it to continuously generate the mysteries of chaos, gradually transforming the immortal mountain and making it increasingly divine.

Meanwhile, the few immortal herbs nestled within the celestial mountain were freely absorbing the chaotic energy, seemingly poised to continue growing, even hinting at the emergence of celestial aura. Of course, the greatest beneficiaries were the Enlightened Ancient Tea Tree and the Chaotic Green Lotus.

After all, the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree has a symbiotic relationship with the Boundless Immortal Mountain, and the changes in this immortal mountain are inherently related to it. The Chaos Green Lotus, on the other hand, has been accumulating energy within the Yin-Yang Immortal Pool, the core convergence point of the Boundless Immortal Mountain's laws. Of course, the main reason is that Liang Yu is about to transform into a Chaos Body, causing the Boundless Immortal Mountain to change as well, and the Chaos Green Lotus will naturally benefit even more from this similar characteristic.

At this moment, the Yin-Yang Immortal Pool had evolved once more, merging the Yin and Yang within its waters into a unified Chaos Immortal Pool as the Wuji Immortal Mountain changed. The Fusang Divine Tree and the Laurel Divine Tree, having already foreseen this opportunity, also entered the Immortal Pool, each assuming a Yin-Yang Eye. They benefited greatly from the pool's evolution. After all, they were symbols of the sun and moon, and Liang Yu's fusion of Yin and Yang to create chaos naturally brought them profit.

Seeing the other four immortal herbs making huge profits, the humanoid divine tree felt it had lost out terribly. It hurriedly activated the special mark within its body, massively drawing in chaotic energy. The effect was still quite noticeable; its divine aura did indeed subtly increase considerably. After all, the laws of chaos and chaotic energy were indeed of extremely high priority.

Clearly, these changes at Wuji Immortal Mountain fully demonstrate Liang Yu's transformation. This is undoubtedly due to Liang Yu's early use of Origin Techniques to modify and influence this place. Therefore, the Immortal Mountain is connected to Liang Yu's aura and can change along with his.

Yuanshi Tianzun passed through the thick chaotic energy and saw Liang Yu, whose vitality was beginning to dissipate and whose death energy was constantly increasing.

Yuanshi Tianzun laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, it seems that in the end, I will be the one to send you off in this life."

Liang Yu shook his head and said, "What's there to give? In this life, I won't need as long a time as Fellow Daoist Morality and Fellow Daoist Spirit Treasure. Perhaps I can still make it to you after I complete my transformation."
