Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 64 Seclusion (Seeking first subscription)

Liang Yu's miserable state naturally attracted the attention of all the forbidden zones. Apart from the Underworld Lord, all the other supreme beings were closely watching this place.

"Is the path to immortality really this dangerous? Even Wuji, who possesses the Desolate Tower, suffered such severe damage."

"No, it's just because he forced his way in at the wrong time and in the wrong place."

"However, it seems that Wuji has injured his origin and suffered a Dao injury, which is a pleasant surprise. Perhaps this is his last life."

"Any fellow cultivators interested in giving it a try?"

"Forget it, with the Desolate Tower here, even if he's exhausted, we won't be able to kill him."

The supreme beings fell silent. Although they had reached an agreement with Liang Yu, a considerable number of them still harbored ill intentions towards him, wanting to prolong their lives with his flesh and blood and the mark of the Great Dao.

However, Liang Yu is not only powerful in person, but also protected by the Desolate Tower. If the situation is critical, Liang Yu can simply use the Desolate Tower to conceal the secrets of heaven, and they will be unable to find him.

Having a magical artifact is really great.

"Fellow Daoist Zhulong, Kunlun has a profound foundation, why don't you give it a try?"

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you jest. My Kunlun clan has already turned from enemy to friend with Wuji Tianzun. How could we do something like taking advantage of someone in distress?"

"Oh? Really? So those fellow Daoists who sent people to secretly visit Kunlun all these years, were they just going to catch up with you? I thought you were plotting something big."

"Don't slander me out of thin air. We were simply exchanging Taoist techniques and supernatural abilities and making some transactions."

Over the years, although the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones could not emerge into the world, their connections became even closer. Perhaps it was because the oppressive aura emanating from Liang Yu wielding the Desolate Tower was too strong that these Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones began to band together.

At this moment, the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone were vaguely divided into three parts. The first part consisted of those like the Underworld Lord and the Old Man of Fortune, who had fallen into slumber and were detached from worldly affairs. However, the Underworld Lord was waiting for his transformation to be completed, while the others were simply waiting for the path to immortality to open.

The second part focuses on Kunlun Immortal Mountain, since the Kunlun Immortal Array and Immortal Bell are currently the most promising and powerful weapons to counter Liang Yu. They actively communicated, subtly forming an alliance to jointly oppose Liang Yu.

The third part is quite special. Led by the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable, they began to discuss and expound the Dao, exploring ways to repair the Immortal Platform. The Celestial Venerable of Longevity, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, and others belong to this category.

Of course, the third category includes some of the supreme beings from the first two categories.

Over the years, the Carefree Celestial Venerable was arguably the most active of the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones. He frequently sent people to visit various Forbidden Zones to exchange ideas and gather wisdom from the Supreme Beings.

The other supreme beings were quite surprised by the behavior of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, after all, if things continued like this, his remaining lifespan would not last much longer.

However, all the supreme beings were once invincible figures who had attained enlightenment. They knew very well that once someone like them made up their mind, they would not easily change it. In such cases, all that could be done was to respect and offer their blessings.

Liang Yu was well aware of the subtle maneuvering among these Supreme Beings. He was deliberately feigning serious injury to attract the attention of the other Supreme Beings, especially the Kunlun Clan.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that many Supreme Beings were eager to try, they did not make a move.

Liang Yu released the Desolate Tower, which circled the universe and unleashed its supreme immortal might at the entrances of various forbidden zones.

"Hmph, we have not yet been born, Wuji, are you breaking the contract?"

A supreme being coldly snorted.

Liang Yu's voice came from the desolate tower: "I was afraid you all had forgotten our previous agreement, so I came here to remind you."

At this moment, a voice came from the Primordial Ancient Mine: "Heavenly Venerable, the path to immortality is so difficult, you should make plans early. If you reach your later years, my Primordial Ancient Mine would very much welcome you to stay."

The Primordial Ancient Mine at this time was rather unique. It contained self-severed Supreme Beings who had sealed themselves within, theoretically making it a forbidden zone for life. However, these Supreme Beings were all moderates and had not instigated any dark upheavals, so it wasn't entirely a forbidden zone. After all, cultivators of other levels could occasionally enter this place without much danger, though they couldn't venture deep inside. This place truly became a forbidden zone for life only during the Primordial Era. The original moderate Supreme Beings likely all perished in the late Mythical Era and early Primordial Era.

Later, most of the ancient emperors who entered this place, with very few exceptions, launched dark upheavals to prolong their lives, making this place increasingly dangerous. Even the Primordial Emperor, who originally lived in harmony with the old supreme beings, was forced to flee during the Primordial Era, resulting in congenital deficiencies.

This celestial embryo, nurtured for countless years in the extraordinary Primordial Mine, was thus severely slashed, ultimately relegated to a supporting role in the era of the Heavenly Emperor. Although he eventually attained enlightenment and became Emperor, his life ended in the shadow of Ye Fan.

The Supreme Beings currently existing in the Primordial Ancient Mine are naturally the ones Liang Yu wants to win over, so Liang Yu's attitude is relatively good. He said, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I can only disappoint you all with your kind intentions."

After the desolate tower left, a sound came from inside the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Why bother offering your warm welcome when it's met with indifference?

“Every enlightened being is this confident at their peak, aren’t we the same? He will naturally change his mind in his later years.”

"If Wuji joins us, our Taichu Ancient Mine's chances of making it onto the path to immortality will greatly increase."

"I'm afraid he won't live that long. I know that many fellow Daoists are plotting against him."

"That's their business. We won't get involved. This matter will be resolved in twenty or thirty thousand years."

Seeing that he still couldn't lure out the Supreme Beings, Liang Yu shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he had been too overconfident in his first life, scaring these Supreme Beings away. If this continued, he would have no choice but to live several more lives to conquer each of the forbidden zones one by one.

Alternatively, after the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure complete their transformations, the three of them can then go and eliminate all the forbidden zones.

But for now, he can only wait.

However, now that he has the secret techniques left behind by the Desolate Emperor, he should go into seclusion to cultivate.

Liang Yu stepped out, still exuding a listless aura, and entered the Wuji Immortal Mountain, after all, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way.

He sat under the ancient tea tree of enlightenment, and his primordial spirit reappeared above his head. The secrets of the previous character, the secrets of numbers, and the fragments of the Immortal Scripture began to emerge continuously, and various laws and divine patterns covered the area.

The Undying Scripture is the strongest body-forging scripture passed down from the ancient immortal era. As long as one can cultivate the complete Undying Scripture, one can obtain an immortal body that is difficult to bury by heaven and difficult to destroy by earth. Moreover, in this state, even if the primordial spirit is scattered, the physical body will remain immortal.

Furthermore, if one can cultivate this scripture to perfection, even if the primordial spirit perishes, the immortal physical body will be able to reassemble its divine soul after countless years.

Moreover, this newly formed primordial spirit can even retain its previous memories, unlike the completely new consciousness of an ancient corpse communicating with spirits.

After mastering this scripture, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor spent a great deal of time and energy exploring the secret methods for achieving an indestructible primordial spirit. The contents he left behind are the various insights and thoughts that arose during this process.

Although it wasn't some kind of miraculous, heaven-defying scripture, it was still very beneficial to Liang Yu.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed.

Liang Yu's primordial spirit suddenly swelled up, becoming towering and upright, almost as tall as the Wuji Immortal Mountain.

Then, the primordial spirit exploded, fragmenting into tens of thousands of independent primordial spirits.

They exclaimed in unison, "We finally succeeded!"

If others saw this, they would probably be shocked. How could a person's primordial spirit be divided into thousands of parts? After all, no matter how refined the primordial spirit is, it is unlikely to have the same level of solidity and regenerative ability as the physical body.

Even if it were possible, having thousands upon thousands of versions of yourself existing simultaneously would surely lead to a complete mental breakdown. But Liang Yu managed to do it.
