Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 65 Undercurrents (Seeking First Subscription)

After Liang Yu divided his primordial spirits into countless clones, he did not immediately begin cultivation. Instead, he injected these primordial spirits into the numerous clones created by the numerical secrets, giving them intelligence and a certain level of combat power.

These clones flew out of Wuji Immortal Mountain one by one, each possessing its own thoughts as if they were real people. They went their separate ways and began to explore various parts of the universe.

In the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, Zhulong was awakened once more. He murmured, "What is the Boundless Celestial Venerable trying to do? What kind of method is this? A numerical secret? No, even the Moral Celestial Venerable's numerical secret doesn't have this effect."

“Fellow Daoist Zhulong, he is of course searching for the materials for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. As for this secret technique, it is probably the result of his comprehension of the secrets of numbers. We all know that the most terrifying thing about the Boundless Heavenly Venerable is this kind of comprehension that is beyond human capabilities.”

A voice came.

The place where Zhulong resides is an ancient cave in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, filled with immortal light that can slow down aging and facilitate enlightenment. Even the immortal bell floats in the void here, resonating with Zhulong.

The carefree Celestial Venerable once tried to slow down aging using the laws of time, and now the Candle Dragon has also achieved this by using the immortal laws of the Immortal Bell.

Therefore, although he is the oldest existing supreme being of the Kunlun clan, his condition is no worse than that of the Four Fiends Supreme Beings, and may even be better. Among all the supreme beings of the forbidden zones, Zhulong's condition can be considered among the best.

In front of Zhulong hung a dozen or so jade slips. These jade slips were flawless white, interwoven with mysterious runes. At first glance, they seemed like celestial treasures, but upon closer inspection, they appeared to be mortal objects.

Inside each of these jade slips is an imprint of the Great Dao, radiating a terrifying aura. Each of these imprints originates from a supreme being of a forbidden zone.

These jade slips, known as the Heavenly Secrets Slips, were left by an ancient venerable elder from before the mythological era. They allow communication regardless of spatial distance and have the effect of concealing heavenly secrets, preventing any trace of aura from being revealed.

Over the years, many supreme beings have secretly contacted Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and it was through this item that they were able to remain undetected. As for those who sent people to communicate with each other, it was mostly a smokescreen, and no real deep cooperation was achieved.

The sound that was just emitted came from one of the Heavenly Secrets Slips.

Zhulong looked at the jade slip that had lit up in front of him and said, "Fellow Daoist Chihuang, Wuji Tianzun's current life has only just begun. Why would he be in such a hurry to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill?"

The Crimson Phoenix, also known as the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Supreme. Their Holy Spirit lineage had a long-standing feud with Liang Yu, thus naturally becoming one of the earliest confirmed allies of Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Chi Huang continued, "Fellow Daoist Zhulong, don't forget that he suffered severe injuries while fighting his way onto the path to immortality. It's quite normal that such injuries would require a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill or an elixir of immortality to heal, isn't it?"

Zhulong was still somewhat incredulous: "Wuji Tianzun is our mortal enemy. Although I hate him, I would never underestimate him. Would such a person really injure himself like this?"

At this moment, another Heavenly Secret Scroll lit up: "Fellow Daoist Zhulong, even if this injury is fake, we cannot wait any longer. We must settle this matter in this lifetime. Don't forget how much the Moral Celestial Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable have improved in combat power after their rebirth. Now, the Limitless Celestial Venerable has most likely only used the Elixir of Immortality, so his combat power has not increased much compared to his previous life. If we wait for him to rebirth again, then we will truly have no chance of winning."

"Don't forget, Wuji demonstrated a deep understanding of transformation while in the Underworld. His chances of successfully reversing his fate are not low. This information was given to us by that fellow Daoist, so it cannot be false. You should know that Wuji will never let us go. We must strike first and not harbor even the slightest bit of wishful thinking."

Zhulong sighed, "But..."

Another jade slip lit up: "Fellow Daoist Zhulong, what you are worried about is nothing more than the Kunlun Immortal Array and the Desolate Tower. Rest assured, with our help, the Kunlun Immortal Array will become even stronger. As for the Desolate Tower, we have our own methods, Fellow Daoist Zhulong need not worry. If you are still not at ease, then we can also reveal some inside information to you."

The jade slip in front of Zhulong lit up again, indicating the stance of the other Supreme Beings involved in the matter. Upon seeing this, Zhulong's worry turned to joy, and he said, "Since you fellow Daoists have said so, then I am relieved. Twenty thousand years from now, we will jointly slay Wuji."

Afterwards, they fell into a deep sleep again, quietly awaiting Liang Yu's later years.

Time passed slowly, and Liang Yu's clone gradually returned, but the materials for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill were not yet gathered.

Firstly, because those supreme beings in the mythical era consumed most of the rare treasures in the universe in order to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. These materials were rare and precious, so naturally there were not many left, and they were difficult to find in a short time.

Secondly, these forbidden zones had already begun secretly sending people to sabotage and collect these materials when Liang Yu was in seclusion for the first time, which greatly increased the difficulty for Liang Yu to collect these materials;
Thirdly, Liang Yu's actions were merely a show of weakness to the enemy; he did not truly devote all his energy to finding these materials.

His clones ostensibly gather materials for refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, but in reality, they are collecting ancient scriptures and secret techniques from various eras. These ancient scriptures and secret techniques are the nourishment for Liang Yu's complete mastery of the Path of Universal Enlightenment.

Under Liang Yuming's strategy of secretly advancing his own forces while secretly advancing his own, these supreme beings in the forbidden zones had no idea of ​​this.

Of course, even if Liang Yu didn't hide it, these supreme beings might not have guessed his purpose. After all, not everyone would think that a contemporary celestial being would need someone else's scriptures and secret techniques.

As invincible supreme beings, only methods of achieving immortality and becoming an immortal can attract their attention.

However, just in case, Liang Yu chose to be cautious and tried his best to appear focused on recovering from his injuries.

After all, as Liang Yu grows stronger, those supreme beings from the forbidden zones will eventually be so frightened that they will all relocate, and might even gather together to use the Immortal Bell to obscure the secrets of heaven. And Liang Yu alone cannot possibly eradicate all the forbidden zones before they can react.

The universe is so vast; if they're truly determined to hide, Liang Yu will be hard to find. Besides, he has his own path to immortality to walk and doesn't have time to play hide-and-seek with them.

So this might be the last time he catches these supreme beings. This time he has to pull off a big heist and make sure it goes perfectly.

Of course, Liang Yu's actions weren't entirely for grander goals like the greater good or the future of the universe; his personal motives were the core. After all, whether he took action or not, as long as he lived, these supreme beings of the forbidden zones would eventually be forced to pass away.

Over the years, Liang Yu has gained some insights from the continuous growth of Wuji Immortal Mountain. He needs more extraordinary places like Wuji Immortal Mountain that can be transformed into forbidden zones as research subjects.

Such extraordinary places only appear once every tens of thousands of years. It is unknown how many tens of thousands of years have passed in the universe to give birth to just a few of them.

Instead of searching slowly like looking for a needle in a haystack, and perhaps even waiting countless years for it to take shape, why not just seize the homeland of these supreme beings?

After all, the places they choose are rare and precious paradises on earth. Even if not all of them are as wondrous as the Primordial Ancient Mine, Burial Sky Island, or Kunlun Immortal Mountain, they are certainly not too bad.

Perhaps the secret to immortality in one of Liang Yu's future lives will lie in these wondrous places, so he must obtain it as soon as possible. After all, the methods to immortality become increasingly difficult as one progresses, so one must prepare early and begin working on them in advance.

It burned out...
