Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 47 Retreat
The desolate tower rushed in on its own. It's unclear what it said to the immortal fire, but it then began to temper its body with the immortal fire.

The desolate tower landed on the canopy of the fire tree, and flames formed from runes drilled into the tower. The fire phoenix also shuttled through the desolate tower, occasionally spitting out rune flames onto the tower.

Liang Yu opened his Profound Mystery Eye and Origin Heaven Divine Eye, discovering that the Desolate Tower and the Immortal Flame complemented each other. Each of them contained hidden Immortal Laws, and they were completely different.

When the immortal fire tempers the desolate tower, one can obtain the immortal laws within the tower to make oneself stronger; the desolate tower can also use this process to imprint the laws of the immortal fire onto its body, not to mention that this process will also make the tower body more solid.

Liang Yu tried to approach, but the fire tree quickly retreated, and even the phoenix stopped moving, staring at Liang Yu with flames seemingly about to burst forth from its mouth.

The desolate tower promptly transmitted a message to the immortal fire, which immediately lowered its guard.

Liang Yu took out a broken purple magic lamp and waved it in front of the celestial fire.

This Purple Extreme Divine Lamp originated from the Holy Spirit Purple Extreme Saint Venerable, who was born from the Purple Extreme Divine Fire. Although the deity within this lamp has been destroyed, a portion of the Purple Extreme Divine Fire still remains.

The phoenix let out a disdainful cry, as if to say, "What kind of fire is this? It's far inferior to mine." But its eyes secretly glanced at the magic lamp.

Liang Yu smiled slightly and said, "This fire is called the Purple Extreme Divine Fire. Later, it gave birth to a Holy Spirit, who successfully attained enlightenment. Don't you want to shed your immortal fire form and become a true living being?"

Having obtained the research findings on the Holy Spirit from Mingzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and others, Liang Yu was indeed confident that he could cultivate the Immortal Fire into a Holy Spirit, but it was hard to say how long it would take.

The immortal fire hesitated for a moment. Transforming into a living being did indeed grant it greater freedom, but it also meant losing the ability to live forever.

From this perspective, it is actually somewhat similar to the elixir of immortality. Of course, the elixir of immortality is of a higher standard than the immortal fire, but both possess the characteristic of being immortal.

Judging from the fact that Lingbao Tianzun was able to encounter the immortal corpse, this immortal fire might be the original Dao fire of a certain immortal that has become spiritual.

Seeing that Xianhuo was hesitant, Liang Yu said, "This suggestion is valid as long as I'm alive. We'll talk about it when you decide. But for now, how about we cooperate?"

Immortal Fire readily agreed.

Liang Yu drew out the remaining divine fire from the Purple Extreme Divine Lamp and presented it to the Immortal Fire. The Fire Tree extended a branch and absorbed the fire into its interior.

Before long, the Fire Phoenix exhaled a mouthful of purple divine fire, and the fire domain expanded to eleven layers. The nine-colored divine fire, which was originally at the core, moved outwards.

Liang Yu stood in the fiery domain, reaching out into the starry sky. A colossal hand appeared, traversing countless stars, landing on Ziwei Star, and seizing Wuji Immortal Mountain.

But throughout the entire process, no one noticed this earth-shattering scene.

"Hey, who are you, supreme being, daring to attack the Daoist temple of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable? Are you tired of living?" the humanoid divine tree roared.

“Little Tree, this is the Celestial Venerable Lord,” the Enlightened Ancient Tea Tree whispered a reminder.

"I know this is the Celestial Venerable, but the Celestial Venerable may not know that I know it is him. Seeing that I dare to step forward in the face of such danger, he knows that my loyalty is as clear as the sun and moon. Wouldn't he treat me even better?" the humanoid divine tree said smugly.

"...You're amazing!" The ancient tea tree was momentarily unsure whether to despise it or admire it.

Liang Yu placed the Boundless Immortal Mountain next to the Fire Domain, and then took out the six kinds of immortal metals he had collected and set them aside.

He took out the leaves of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, brewed the tea with Kunlun Immortal Elixir, swallowed it in one gulp, and then began to ignite the Immortal Fire.

His first step was to draw the immortal fire into his body to comprehend the immortal laws within it, while simultaneously tempering his physique. Judging from his ability to repair the desolate tower, the immortal fire contains the true meaning of rebirth and nirvana. As long as the physical body is strong enough, one can also temper oneself with the help of the immortal fire.

With his mind focused on two things at once, Liang Yu's body flashed with divine light, and the laws within his body began to evolve into runes within the immortal fire. As the immortal fire continued to burn, Liang Yu separated a third part of his consciousness, immersing it in the Heavenly Heart Imprint to comprehend the fundamental laws of the universe.

At the same time, the Qiankun Creation Tower also rose and fell with him amidst the immortal fire and the laws of heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, a century has passed.

Liang Yu stood up, his aura becoming more restrained. The once dazzling divine light and profound divinity began to fade slowly, and his Dao fruit became more perfect.

The Qiankun Creation Tower also benefited greatly, its near-immortal aura becoming increasingly strong.

Next, Liang Yu grabbed six pieces of immortal gold. These were gifts he had received from various forbidden zones. Before he attained enlightenment, obtaining a Chaos Stone and extracting its essence had almost exhausted his luck. He hadn't obtained any immortal gold during his more than a thousand years of wandering the universe.

But now, he possesses six kinds of immortal gold. It has to be said, it's still better to fleece the wealthy; you earn more and faster that way.

Perhaps because we are now in the mythical era, the environment is much better than in later generations, and resources are more abundant. Therefore, these forbidden areas basically have reserves, which is not as difficult to collect as in later generations. This is why Liang Yu was able to obtain immortal gold from them so easily.

There are a total of nine types of immortal gold in this universe. Liang Yu already possesses six of them: Dragon Pattern Black Gold, Immortal Tear Green Gold, Divine Mark Purple Gold, Dao Tribulation Gold, Eternal Blue Gold, and Ruyi Orange Gold.

With the celestial fire present, Liang Yu's weapon forging would be much easier. The later Emperor Hengyu forged the Hengyu Furnace in the Primordial Ancient Mine precisely because he valued the extremely yang fire contained within the Fallen Sun Ridge. This flame was the perfect match for Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, resulting in even better forging effects. Of course, he also had another purpose in doing this: to lure the Undying Emperor.

The Immortal Fire is superior to the Fire of Fallen Sun Ridge, so Liang Yu's weapon forging will be much more efficient.

Another century later, Liang Yu forged six pagodas.

At this moment, the immortal fire signaled to him that it was time to leave. Liang Yu was taken aback, and then he discovered that the five continents of the Big Dipper were gradually stabilizing, and the chaotic energy escaping from within them was completely contained and absorbed by the great formation within.

Liang Yu didn't insist on keeping it, but instead sent a wisp of his divine sense to the Immortal Fire. This divine sense served both to help him sense the Immortal Fire's location and as a protective talisman. If he needed the Immortal Fire, he could find it at any time. If the Immortal Fire encountered danger, he could also intervene remotely.

However, the probability of the Immortal Flame encountering danger is extremely low. After all, it remained unscathed even in the Supreme Battle.

Afterwards, Liang Yu entered Wuji Immortal Mountain, sat under the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and the human-shaped Divine Tree was summoned by his wave of his hand.

However, he did not immediately begin his cultivation. Instead, he released his divine sense, seemingly sensing something.

Then he laughed and said, "Is it finally starting?"

Two drops of divine blood appeared in Liang Yu's palm, and countless threads emerged from the divine blood, each thread connected to a human figure. These human figures were semi-transparent, with only the divine blood and origin within them emitting divine light.

These two drops of divine blood came from Shen Lin and Shen Hao of the God Clan. Two hundred years later, they finally spread the Mystic Transformation Technique throughout the God Clan.

At this moment, Liang Yu used these two drops of divine blood as a medium to trace their location and, with the help of the bloodline connection between these two people and other divine races, to monitor the divine races who had practiced the Transformation Mystic Art in real time, thereby obtaining information about the changes within each divine race's body.

At this time, the divine race had about 50,000 members, of whom about 3,000 were equivalent to gods born from the human race.

Under Liang Yu's methods, the divine blood of these people was completely exposed, becoming Liang Yu's research samples.

"To fully unravel the mysteries of divine blood, how can studying only one's own knowledge be enough?"
