Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 266 Chaotic Nirvana
Runes woven from the laws of chaos began to appear within Liang Yu's body. The aura that originally evolved from Yin and Yang was replaced by this aura, which seemed to be the source of all things and the root of the Great Dao. Under the operation of these laws of chaos, chaotic energy continuously emanated from his body, obscuring his figure and making it difficult to discern his form.

Yuanshi Tianzun knew that Liang Yu was telling the truth. The other party was merely taking a step further, using his Dao fruit of the unity of all laws to evolve his physique, thus bringing the path of physique evolution to its end. Even if Liang Yu used some other methods to enhance the effect, it wouldn't take as much time as it did for Daode Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun has also reached the end of this life, he can still persist for several hundred more years. Liang Yu's transformation will probably be completed in a few hundred years at most. Therefore, Liang Yu in the next life may really have a chance to catch up with the end of this life.

Of course, while Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun all knew about the path of physical evolution, they didn't know that the true endpoint of physical evolution wasn't actually the Chaotic Body. In Liang Yu's deduction, there was still a long way to go after becoming a Chaotic Body.

This is naturally because although the Chaotic Body is the strongest physique, it is not the most perfect match for your own physique.

Therefore, for physique evolution to advance further, you need to break free from the chaotic physique and truly develop a physique that perfectly suits you. Ye Fan's return to the Sacred Body in his sixth life was because, although the Sacred Body wasn't as high-level as the chaotic body, it was more suitable for him. Of course, Ye Fan's Sacred Body in his sixth life was a perfectly upgraded version, vastly different from the original.

In other words, after evolving into this almost all-encompassing chaotic body, an enhanced version of your physique is derived from it, perfectly suited to your own constitution. After all, chaos is the source of all things, encompassing and evolving everything, capable of growing into anything you desire. This new physique could likely play a significant role even after achieving immortality.

Even this might not be the final destination. After all, considering Ye Fan's eighth incarnation returning to a mortal body and Liang Yu's exploration of the essence of physique over the years, physique evolution may still require a final return to simplicity to become the ultimate enhanced version of a mortal body.

Of course, this isn't necessarily a must. After all, the Great Emperor Wushi didn't return to a mortal body, but that didn't affect his growth and potential. It's simply a matter of whether or not to take this step; it depends on the individual's path and choices.

However, from this perspective, the path of physical evolution alone is enough to support a significant portion of the mortal immortal path. After all, each crucial juncture in physical evolution can potentially give birth to the next life, completing a metamorphosis.

Of course, Liang Yu's success in several lifetimes was due to a significant overlap with this path he followed. It's unlikely that he would have achieved such remarkable results in other lifetimes.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Then I shall wait and see, Fellow Daoist Wuji."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable, his eyes gleaming with divine light, saw the primordial chaos energy continuously surging within Liang Yu's body. Clearly, this was Liang Yu's method of transformation. Of course, the external environment had already fully revealed this. Therefore, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was only observing the details.

Of course, he only needed to see the beginning and understand the secrets of Liang Yu's method. After all, he himself needed some time to prepare for his next life and couldn't watch Liang Yu's transformation process from beginning to end.

Liang Yu ignored Yuanshi Tianzun, who was observing nearby, and began his own transformation. This was also a form of mutual exchange. After all, although the same method can produce completely different results depending on who uses it, the approach and experience are indeed very important. For Yuanshi Tianzun, even if he didn't take this path, he could still benefit greatly. Conversely, even though Yuanshi Tianzun's progress was far slower than Liang Yu's, the transformation method he used was still useful to Liang Yu.

Of course, if anything unexpected were to happen, Liang Yu had a backup plan. After all, Liang Yu was now the number one expert in the human universe, the number one person in the mythological era. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun had gone mad and attacked him, it would be useless, since Yuanshi Tianzun was only in his second incarnation at this time. Countless chaotic energies spread out, and chaotic laws continuously dissipated and intertwined, slowly forming a huge egg condensed from chaotic power. Countless patterns woven from chaotic laws appeared on the egg's shell, and all the chaotic energy dissipating from Liang Yu's body was drawn in and merged into the eggshell.

This egg seemed to be a singularity born from nothingness, within which a colossal god capable of creating the world was being nurtured. Under the evolution of these chaotic laws, life and death seemed to lose their meaning, with only an almost primordial, undying Daoist aura constantly growing.

Liang Yu's method of transformation was naturally not limited to relying on the laws of chaos to transform himself into a chaotic body. Although he had mastered the laws of chaos through the unity of yin and yang and had continuously improved them over the years, and with the help of the Chaos Green Lotus, he still felt it was not enough.

His transformation this time also incorporated the Phoenix lineage's immortal techniques inherited from the Undying Emperor. The greatest use of the Phoenix lineage's immortal techniques for Liang Yu was the Nirvana method. After all, for a mortal immortal who values ​​transformation, this Nirvana method is a method of rebirth.

Even if they aren't phoenixes and can't undergo multiple rebirths like the Immortal Emperor, just one rebirth would be an immense blessing. After all, this method doesn't require them to start from scratch; they only need to master the technique and make simple modifications based on their own circumstances. Those who can walk the path of immortality in the mortal world are all extraordinary talents, so learning and applying this method of rebirth isn't that difficult.

Therefore, after comprehending this method of Nirvana, Liang Yu conceived the idea of ​​making his own chaotic body even more perfect. Thus, he used chaotic energy and chaotic laws to undergo Nirvana, thereby achieving a more perfect transformation and becoming a more perfect chaotic body.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable naturally saw through the mystery and couldn't help but feel speechless at these seniors, who were still rolling up their sleeves.

Whether it's Lingbao Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, or Wuji Tianzun, their methods of transformation could have been broken down and perfected into two separate methods. However, in order to achieve greater results, they all unanimously piled on the materials, merging the two methods into one, which can almost be considered a waste.

After all, although the path to immortality in the mortal world doesn't necessarily require several transformations to achieve, but rather depends on how long it takes to attain immortality in the mortal realm, living several more lifetimes gives you more time and a greater chance to comprehend this mystery and reach this level.

Therefore, the actions of Liang Yu, Daode Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun revealed an immense level of self-confidence. They were confident that even if they consumed an extra method of transformation in this life, they could still forge a new path and complete the remaining journey of immortality in the mortal world.

Even the Primordial Celestial Venerable unconsciously began to have a similar thought in his mind, wanting to use this method to add fuel to the fire in order to catch up with these predecessors more quickly.

But he quickly came to his senses. After all, he was still preparing to live out his third life, and thinking about such things now was a bit too unrealistic.
