Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 80 Myriad Laws Profound Body
Life is the greatest miracle in the world, and the human race, as the most intelligent of all beings, is a miracle among miracles.

Throughout history, most races, though born powerful, have been limited by the power of their bloodlines. Because their bloodline powers are similar, their optimal solutions for developing these powers are also similar, and their most suitable cultivation scriptures are also similar.

Therefore, apart from the most outstanding few, they often follow a highly homogenized path.

Most so-called top races have only produced one Dao Prover, and afterwards they usually live off the legacy of that Dao Prover, rarely making any breakthroughs.

Only by developing the power of his race's bloodline to its fullest extent and exploring the cultivation method most suitable for his race can he hope to attain enlightenment.

Once the optimal solution is found, people simply follow the steps and are unable to make a breakthrough.

Therefore, many races with obvious bloodline power often have a high lower limit but a low upper limit.

Although the demon race is diverse and innovative, with a constant stream of enlightened beings taking different paths, it can be said that there are many talented demons.

However, the demon race is not a single race. They are essentially a community formed by countless individuals with weak bloodline power or ordinary beings with spiritual abilities, brought together by shared thoughts and beliefs.

Humans, however, are different. Although the individual differences among humans are terrifying, and the paths taken by those who attain enlightenment from among humans are diverse, humans are indeed a true race.

In his previous two lifetimes of research, Liang Yu deciphered the essence of divine blood, comprehended the foundation of humanity from the humanoid immortal elixir, and fully verified his research on the humanoid immortal elixir from the Thunder Swamp Dao Embryo.

Therefore, Liang Yu now understood why the mortal body is the foundation.

All of humanity's special physical attributes are essentially mortal bodies that have been modified and strengthened by special divine power and fragments of its laws.

Although the vast majority of ordinary people are far weaker than those with special constitutions, this is not a common characteristic of ordinary people.

A mortal body like that of the Ruthless Great Emperor of later generations could only barely be used for cultivation, and normally it would be impossible for her to achieve anything. One of her successors, Yao Guang, also had a mortal body, but most special physiques were inferior to Yao Guang's before she had cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art.

Yin Tiande and Zhang Bairen were also mortals, but the large number of people with special physiques and imperial princes in later generations were not much stronger than them.

There is even a saying that most of the great emperors of ancient times were mortals, which shows that strength or weakness is not the standard for judging mortals.

The biggest difference between mortal bodies and special constitutions lies in whether their origin contains special divine power and fragments of laws.

In short, mortal bodies are blank slates. Their attributes can be so high that they are stronger than those of special physiques, or so low that they are so bad that they cannot even cultivate. Their real common point is that they have no special bonuses.

Special physiques are based on a blank slate and receive various special bonuses, and because of these bonuses, their attributes are often very high.

The former is unrestricted, allowing one to cultivate any Daoist method and follow any path, but the lower limit and average level are both very low. The latter, on the other hand, has an extremely high starting point, but is limited by one's physical constitution. Exploring within a specific field can yield twice the results with half the effort, but one's personal Dao may not perfectly match one's physical constitution, requiring further efforts to break through this boundary.

Although Ye Fan's eighth incarnation returned to a mortal body, that mortal body had all its attributes maxed out, making it incomparable to the vast majority of mortal bodies. Even if you brought over a chaotic body, its physique would still be far inferior to Ye Fan's at that time.

Therefore, in most cases, a special physique is better than a mortal physique, unless you have a top-tier mortal physique with maxed-out attributes.

Although Liang Yu was powerful at this time, he had not yet reached this stage; he still needed to go a long way on the path of developing a special physique.

To understand the essence of a special physique, one must thoroughly study its divinity and the laws that distinguish it from ordinary bodies. Liang Yu had already begun to grasp this point while researching divine blood.

The ability to transform into a special physique through later life is actually related to the bloodline inheritance of the human race. The so-called bloodline power of humans comes either from a powerful individual or from a powerful physique. Moreover, this bloodline power often decays rapidly until it disappears completely.

The bloodline power possessed by the descendants of those who have attained enlightenment not only provides special bonuses to their offspring, but also largely dissipates after several dozen generations. In the more distant future, there may even be atavistic individuals similar to the children of those who attained enlightenment.

This process is almost identical to that of offspring with special constitutions. One could even say that the bloodline of those who have attained enlightenment is essentially a unique and special constitution.

The essence of acquired physical constitution lies in this point. Even if the constitution of a person who has attained enlightenment is initially mortal, it will be transformed and sublimated after attaining enlightenment due to the path and methods they cultivate, thus transforming into a form different from that of a mortal.

In other words, they generated their own special divine power, transformed their origins with the laws of their own Dao, and thus possessed this state similar to a special physique.

However, since their path is only most applicable to themselves, this state, which almost becomes a special physique, can only be passed down as the power of their bloodline.

To truly evolve a special physique, one must push one's own Dao and Dharma to an even higher extreme, thereby making the divine power and laws generated by oneself even stronger, and thus making one's transformation more thorough, so as to truly become a form that can be replicated on a large scale.

The Heavenly Heart Mark will imprint the Dao of the one who proves their Dao, but only as an invincible individual. If one reaches this higher level, even the Great Dao of the Universe will imitate your Dao body.

From then on, your Dao body became a template for the creation of special physiques by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and thus this physique came into existence in the universe.

The physique Liang Yu has transformed into is called the Myriad Laws Profound Body. From this day forward, this physique will begin to appear randomly and irregularly in the human world. The nine-colored celestial flowers and golden auspicious clouds are actually manifestations of the birth of this new physique.

This constitution is actually consistent with some characteristics of Liang Yu's Path of Universal Understanding, and its essence lies in inclusiveness.

Its greatest advantage lies in its ability to encompass all different kinds of power, all kinds of Taoist magic and supernatural abilities, and to integrate chaotic and diverse forces and laws into one without conflicting with each other, and even to freely transform them.

Moreover, each different method cultivated can cause this constitution to give birth to corresponding special phenomena, with countless methods and forms, ever-changing.

However, this kind of constitution still requires strong talent to support it; otherwise, it is easy to be a mixed bag without being chaotic, but also a mixed bag without being refined.

The Yin and Yang, which is weak and which is strong, Yin and Yang in harmony, the world is ruled by the emperor. It's just that there is no Yin True Scripture and Yang True Scripture yet, otherwise this kind of physique would be very suitable for this path. At least there is no need to worry about going insane like the demonic Dongfang Taiyi, to the point that he is a god by day and a demon by night.

However, while the Myriad Laws Body is powerful, it's not necessarily stronger than the Supreme Divine Blood he deduced in his first life. In fact, it's foreseeable that the vast majority of those who possess the Myriad Laws Body are inferior to those with the Supreme Divine Blood.

Developing the advantages of this physique requires a high level of comprehension and talent. While this physique enhances comprehension, it's not guaranteed that everyone possesses exceptionally high comprehension, whereas the requirements for Supreme Divine Blood are not as stringent.

In his later years in his previous life, Liang Yu had already created an ancient scripture most suitable for this type of physique. Liang Yu thought for a moment, and since other Heavenly Venerables had the Nirvana Heavenly Technique and the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Technique, then this one would be called the Myriad Laws Heavenly Technique.

After Liang Yu understood the essence of his physique and completed the deduction of the Myriad Laws Profound Body, his subsequent path became clear. After all laws reach the heavens, all laws return to oneness.

In this life, he needs to find a starting point to achieve the unification of all laws. The ultimate unification of all laws should allow him to transform into a chaotic being in his later life.

And because he has already grasped the essence of his physique, the subsequent transformation process will be easier than this one.

However, by this calculation, he has already accumulated a great deal of knowledge on the method of transforming into a holy spirit. Perhaps the wondrous Kunlun Immortal Mountain also contains the secret to allowing him to live another life. In addition, with the immortal medicine and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, it can be said that he has already completed more than half of his path to immortality in the mortal world.
