Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 62 Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin (Seeking First Subscription)

This was indeed an unexpected delight. After all, the Nine Secrets Combined into One was a supreme secret technique. In the original timeline, the Emperor was the first to achieve this, but now it seemed that he was about to become the first.

However, the essence of the "All" technique is to enhance one's basic combat power; in other words, it's about stacking stats. If you had to put it into words, it's like a Kaioken with almost no side effects but a limited multiplier.

In fact, many enlightened beings in later generations have made their own attempts in this field. They can often create secret techniques with several times the combat power, but none of them can compare to the All-Word Secret.

Liang Yu suddenly had a whimsical thought: what would happen if he created a secret technique like the "All Characters Secret"?
If a secret technique has the same effect as the "All" secret technique, will it still become the "All" secret technique and resonate with the other eight secret techniques?

Liang Yu was somewhat eager to try. However, this matter had to be put on hold for now. He needed to further improve his Divine Separation Technique in order to more quickly achieve complete perfection in his Path of Universal Understanding.

But before going into seclusion, it's best to set up a protective array for this ancient star. After all, there are quite a few secrets hidden on this star. And although it's not the same star, this is Earth.

As Liang Yu walked out of Wuji Immortal Mountain and looked back, the sky above the lake had cleared up, but countless thunderclaps still came from the bottom of the lake, and he could even vaguely see the shape of a dragon swimming at the bottom of the lake.

Wait, could this be Leize? Liang Yu suddenly realized this. Fuxi was conceived after his mother, Huaxu, stepped on a giant's footprint near Leize.

Does this mean that once the embryo is fully formed, it will need to be delivered via surrogacy to truly be born as a human?
Who will fill in the missing giant footprint? Could it be that in the original timeline, the Boundless Dao Stele was responsible for these things?

Liang Yu shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions. Just as he was about to set up the array, he sensed a peculiar aura descending upon Mount Tai—an aura he was very familiar with but had never personally encountered before.

Nine dragons pulling a coffin!
Liang Yu raised an eyebrow. Before he attained enlightenment, he had pursued this coffin for decades but had never been able to see it. Even though he was often disturbed by various unexpected events, this time, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin had just descended upon him.

I refuse to believe you can escape this time.

Liang Yu immediately took a step, and with a flash of golden light, he arrived at the summit of Mount Tai in an instant.

The first thing that caught his eye was nine dragon corpses, all with five claws, completely black, with scales shimmering with dark light, except for the two horns on their tops which were purple, as clear and translucent as amethyst.

These dragon corpses appeared to be cast from refined iron, exuding an astonishing sense of power.

At its tail, countless black chains were bound to a twenty-meter-long bronze coffin.

The ancient coffin is covered with blurred patterns, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.

Having been in the Shrouding the Heavens universe for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen nine dragons pulling a coffin. Even as a Heavenly Venerable, he couldn't help but feel some inexplicable and complex emotions.

The coffin, pulled by nine dragons, sat silently atop Mount Tai, utterly devoid of any aura, seemingly just an ordinary object. But as soon as Liang Yu approached, the ancient coffin began to glow, emanating an inexplicable aura.

Under this aura, a five-colored altar in the heart of Mount Tai emitted bursts of light, and the Ancient Starry Sky Road began to activate.

Liang Yu lifted the coffin lid and entered. This time, the bronze coffin did not avoid him.

The bronze coffin has two layers: an outer coffin and an inner inner coffin. The inner coffin is no more than four meters long and two meters wide. Although it seems small in size, it contains a mysterious secret.

Ye Fan once opened this coffin to fight against the Supreme Emperor Weapon. Different people will see different images in the coffin, and they are all the strongest beings in their minds.

But in reality, this was just a disguise; what truly existed within was a small immortal realm possessing a small amount of longevity substances. This was originally a small world created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor to repair a damaged immortal realm, but for some reason, it was left unused in the mortal realm and failed to serve its purpose. The sound of chanting still echoed within the bronze coffin, composed of hundreds of supreme imperial talismans, containing the construction and deduction of the immortal realm.

Just as Liang Yu was about to open the small coffin, he sensed the bronze coffin hitting the ground. For some reason, Liang Yu seemed to feel that the bronze coffin was beginning to repel him.

Was the nine dragons pulling the coffin just to let him know this scripture and then send it to a designated location?

Liang Yu shrugged, offering no resistance to the bronze coffin and allowing it to carry him outside. After all, this bronze coffin did indeed carry significant karma, and since it didn't acknowledge him, it was best to avoid it.

After Liang Yu left, the Kowloon Coffin set sail again and disappeared into the depths of the universe.

Liang Yu looked around and found that this seemed to be a node on the path to immortality, but it had been abandoned for a long time.

Is there anything different here? Considering that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor once left some information on the path to immortality, could this place be one of them?

Liang Yu unleashed a Divine Emperor Seal into the void, unleashing a torrent of divine light that illuminated the dark and desolate starry sky. Vast swathes of the universe began to tremble, and countless stars began to teeter on the brink of collapse.

The desolate tower flew out at the right time, fixing the cosmos and saving the surrounding galaxies from great disaster.

Under this terrifying attack, the void cracked open with numerous wounds, and countless chaotic energies emanated from it. However, at the point where this divine power landed, a faint aura of immortal energy began to emerge.

A chaotic cave slowly appeared. Liang Yu forcibly opened this node, allowing the path to immortality, which had disappeared for countless years, to reappear.

Countless beams of immortal light transformed into dazzling manifestations, revealing the forms of various immortal spirits and strange beasts. If ordinary cultivators were to obtain this dissipated immortal energy, they could prolong their lives and even greatly advance their cultivation.

However, this attack was too powerful. Even with the Desolate Tower suppressing it, the exposed energy still alarmed the sleeping supreme beings in the various forbidden zones, and monstrous blood energy began to emerge.

"What is the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji trying to do? Even if he possesses unparalleled skill and combat prowess, he couldn't possibly have entered the Immortal Realm at the wrong time and in the wrong place, could he?"

"Fortunately, judging from his aura, it's not much different from his previous life, so he must have already used the elixir of immortality. It seems that we may not have to wait too long to see him pass away."

"Yes, after all, things are different now than they used to be, and the ingredients for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill are not so easy to find."

"If he wants to commit suicide, then I welcome him."

"With the mind and nature of Wuji, it's probably unlikely."

"That's because he hasn't yet faced that desperate situation of imminent death and no hope of becoming an immortal. Once he reaches that point, it's hard to guarantee that he won't end up like us."

Liang Yu did this intentionally. His primordial spirit had been split into three, so he could not unleash his full power. In fact, this attack was not much stronger than his performance in his previous life.

However, this very act could mislead these supreme beings from forbidden zones, causing them to misjudge his strength. After all, judging from his current performance, it would be very difficult to lure these supreme beings out. If he didn't show weakness, they would probably have to live several more lifetimes until they were completely desperate.

Of course, if there are any unavoidable situations on the path to immortality, he can use heaven-defying methods to break through the void and directly recall the other two primordial spirits.
