Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 60 Innate Dao Body (Seeking First Subscription)

Liang Yu did not act immediately, but instead began to peruse the immortal golden Taoist book left behind by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable.

The "Soldier's Secret" is one of the Nine Secrets, possessing the ability to manipulate all magical weapons and artifacts, which is quite astonishing. After all, in the world of "Covering the Sky," everyone is a berserker, and there aren't many who can pull off this kind of feat.

Of the Nine Secrets, only the Secret of Forming Characters and the Secret of Soldiers rely on external forces rather than their own inherent power. However, Lingbao Tianzun is not only the master of array patterns but also the foremost swordsman, having even combined these two arts to create the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Therefore, although the Secret of Forming Characters relies on external forces, Lingbao Tianzun still maintains absolute control over his own power.

Therefore, among the nine Heavenly Venerables, only the Boundless Heavenly Venerable relies on external forces rather than his own power.

Purely in terms of the art of weapon crafting, Wuliang Tianzun may not be stronger than Daode Tianzun, who crafted four weapons for proving his Dao, but he grasped the essence of the weapon.

Therefore, the "Secrets of the Military" not only contain methods for manipulating weapons, but also techniques for restraining, dismantling, and destroying all kinds of objects. The methods for forging weapons within it are particularly unique.

This method of weapon forging is not about forging a weapon, but about forging a weapon with extremely strong autonomy that can even grow independently of its master.

In other words, the ultimate form of this method is not for refining weapons, but for creating life forms that take the form of weapons.

However, the Boundless Heavenly Venerable ultimately did not reach that point. His greatest work, the Boundless Dao Stele, only had the potential to become a celestial artifact; although miraculous, it still had a long way to go.

After gaining some understanding of the laws of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Liang Yu opened the Source Heavenly Divine Eye again. The dark cave was illuminated by the Source Heavenly Divine Pattern, and the interwoven earth veins were revealed in the transparent earth.

He used his Origin Technique to catalyze this place, sweeping in most of the Yin energy of the ancient primordial star, turning it into nourishment for this cavern. The ancient corpse of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable beneath the central spring was dismembered by Liang Yu using Origin Heavenly Divine Patterns, and the extreme laws contained within it were completely dispersed, turning into an ultimate death aura.

Then, guided and transformed by the Origin Heaven Divine Patterns, this Yin energy and death energy transformed into nourishment, making the divine spring in the center of the cave even stronger and more abundant with life energy. To prevent this essence from leaking out, Liang Yu also set up an array pattern to seal it off.

Liang Yu stretched out his hand, passing directly through the ground and the lake, obliterating all the array patterns in the sky. He grabbed the Thunder Pool in the center and pulled it into the cave.

The Origin God Pattern spread once more, and various strange patterns covered the Thunder Pool.

Actually, it's a bit of a pity that this Thunder Pool wasn't used by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable to complete this plan. Under Liang Yu's source technique, it might have been able to transform into a Holy Spirit, just like the Purple Extreme Saint Venerable was born from the Purple Extreme Divine Fire.

If Liang Yu could create a Holy Spirit himself, he would surely have a deeper understanding of the various longevity methods derived from the Holy Spirit.

Fortunately, he still had the Immortal Flame as a test subject. Although the other party hadn't agreed, as long as his series of plans were implemented, the Immortal Flame would eventually be incorporated into the scheme.

After all, the Immortal Flame hesitated not because it didn't want to become a true life form, but because it feared losing its immortality and ultimately succumbing to its fate. However, if it could enter a strange world, it could still achieve immortality, and might even become a true immortal.

Therefore, although Liang Yu felt somewhat regretful, he still continued to use the Source Technique to completely transform the Thunder Pool, almost completely erasing its destructive power.

He then took out the Kunlun Immortal Liquid and incorporated some of it into the Thunder Pool, making the life and creation laws nurtured within even stronger.

Liang Yu channeled the lightning into the divine spring's eye, instantly causing countless fine bolts of lightning to perfectly combine with the spring water. Every drop of the divine spring water contained boundless vitality, while simultaneously undergoing continuous changes under the stimulation of the lightning.

Under his series of arrangements, the last bit of immortal essence left behind by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable began to tremble violently, and a glimmer of spiritual light gradually emerged from it.

A true life was finally born. Liang Yu struck again, his right hand forming a void seal, traversing the endless starry sky to reach the ancient star of the Big Dipper. A colossal hand descended, grabbing the Boundless Immortal Mountain and placing it on the ancient primordial star. Under the influence of the Source Technique, the immortal mountain and the ancient star's ley lines rapidly connected, merging into one.

"Why are you coming again? Celestial Venerable, could you please find a different way to move? This is quite frightening," the humanoid divine tree said in a low voice.

But then, a hand reached into the Wuji Immortal Mountain and grabbed it.

The humanoid divine tree was terrified. It struggled to say, "Heavenly Venerable, I have not disrespected you in private, nor have I stolen any water from the divine spring in the immortal mountain, much less have I encouraged that old tea tree to hoard tea leaves..."

Liang Yu held it in his hand and said calmly, "Is there anything about this Boundless Immortal Mountain that I don't know?"

The humanoid divine tree chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you are all-knowing and all-powerful. Not to mention this Boundless Immortal Mountain, even the myriad realms of the heavens cannot escape your discerning eyes. Your Majesty, I am willing to atone for my sins with my merits."

Liang Yu said, "Since you're so kind, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll borrow your tree trunk for a bit."

The humanoid divine tree felt a pang of pain. Although it didn't actually cause him any damage, it was just a matter of growing back, but it still lost a lot of its essence.

It sighed and broke off completely at the root, leaving only its root system which Liang Yu sent into the interior of Wuji Immortal Mountain to be nourished by the divine spring that was not yet fully formed but was already taking shape.

Liang Yu placed the branches and fruits of the humanoid divine tree into the divine spring, making them nourishment for each embryo. Since the Boundless Heavenly Venerable was of human origin, his immortal essence and ancient corpse were naturally the perfect match for the humanoid elixir of immortality.

Divine Spring, Ancient Corpse of a Celestial Venerable, Immortal Essence of Longevity, Immortal Elixir of Kunlun, Natural Thunder Pool, Divine Elixir of Immortality—the starting point of this embryo is simply unimaginably high.

I wonder if it can be compared to the Chaos Entity after it is born? Liang Yu also has a faint expectation.

The deity on the Boundless Dao Stele also widened his eyes, and said somewhat absentmindedly, "Heavenly Venerable, isn't this a bit too extravagant? I... I really have no way to repay this..."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yu smiled and said, "If you're going to do something, you have to do it to the best of your ability. Although you could succeed the way you did before, it wasn't enough. Only with the branches and fruit of this humanoid immortal elixir can this embryo truly transform into a perfect life form."

“I did this not for the sake of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable or for you, but for myself.”

Liang Yu's actions were not only aimed at making the plan perfect, but also had a crucial purpose: to find the method for achieving immortality in the next life.

Ye Fan, in a later life, achieved a fourth life through the rebirth of a humanoid immortal elixir. Liang Yu, naturally, has now also set his sights on the humanoid immortal elixir.

He decided to pursue a two-pronged approach. On one hand, he would allow the humanoid immortal elixir to regrow from its roots for his research; on the other hand, he would use the branches and fruits of the humanoid divine tree to nourish this artificial life, hoping to gain insight into the mysteries of the humanoid divine tree and life in the process.

During this process, the embryo will receive unimaginable blessings and become a primordial Dao body, formed by heaven and earth, untainted by acquired vulgarity, and filled with innate Qi.

Perhaps Liang Yu can also gain insight into the mysteries of the origin of physical constitution from this process.
