Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 81 Tracing the Immortal Bell
From the moment Liang Yu lived his third life, most forbidden zones in the universe concealed the secrets of heaven, hiding them deep within the cosmos, never to be seen by anyone again.

Although they reached a non-aggression pact with Liang Yu, Liang Yu was now capable of killing fifteen Supreme Beings in succession, and even the Kunlun Immortal Array and the Immortal Bell had been broken by him. It could be said that the balance had been completely destroyed by this terrifying combat power.

Faced with Liang Yu, who was fully capable of overturning the table, these powerful figures dared not gamble that Liang Yu would keep his promise. They would never put their lives and fortunes on the assumption that someone else would honor their commitment.

Therefore, most of the forbidden zones chose to relocate directly. Liang Yu used his divine eye to pierce through the starry river and discovered that apart from the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, the Xuanqiong Divine Mountain, and the Divine Ruins—three forbidden zones that were almost destroyed and remained untouched—the only other forbidden zones he could sense were the Primordial Ancient Mine and the Underworld.

The former is because the Supreme Being of Xuanhuang did him a favor, and those who have now self-proclaimed themselves within it are all Supreme Beings who have not yet fallen;

As for the latter, both the Underworld Lord and the Eternal Life Heavenly Lord were important allies of Liang Yu, and both of them participated in this incident. The remaining two, the Annihilation Heavenly Lord and the Prison Suppressor Emperor, did not fall into depravity.

Therefore, they were not worried about Liang Yu taking action against them. But the other supreme beings did not have this relationship, and even those who had not committed any crimes dared not gamble, so they all ran away.

However, Liang Yu wasn't bothered. As his strength grew, these forbidden zones were no longer a concern for him. All he needed was some help to prevent their desperate attempts to destroy the area, and he could eradicate them completely.

His first priority at this point was to finish up those three restricted areas.

Liang Yu once again walked through the universe. In an instant, countless rays of light and auspicious energy appeared, and boundless divine light manifested in all shapes and forms. Wherever he passed, life flourished and the Great Dao was active.

Whether it's the supreme beings of the forbidden zones or other cultivators in the universe, everyone knows that some forbidden zones that have existed in the world for a long time will become history and disappear completely starting today.

The ancient star Kunlun was now deserted. Perhaps the supreme beings like Zhulong had foreseen this and thus relocated the remaining nine royal members of the Kunlun clan beforehand. Now, only a few creatures with Kunlun immortal blood so diluted they were practically nonexistent remained on the ancient star Kunlun.

However, Liang Yu did not pursue and kill the nine royal families of Kunlun. He simply made a killing intent, just like before, and sealed it within the Qiankun Creation Tower. If these nine royal families caused trouble, the killing intent would automatically seek them out and eliminate them.

However, this is not a problem that Liang Yu needs to worry about. As the only remaining supreme being of the Kunlun clan, Ying Shenxiao will eventually be found by these royal families. When that happens, Ying Shenxiao will naturally settle accounts with the most sinful members among them.

After all, the five supreme beings regarded Ying Shenxiao as both a teacher and a father, and he couldn't bring himself to betray them. But his relationship with the other Kunlun royal families was only so-so, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

Liang Yu made this murderous intention only as a precaution.

Now, after the five supreme beings decomposed the Kunlun Immortal Liquid, the ancient star Kunlun has basically recovered its former glory and has once again become a first-class ancient life star in the universe. It is impossible to tell that this ancient star was almost reduced to dust in the past.

Liang Yu's visit to Kunlun was not actually to plunder their property. Most of the Kunlun clan's top treasures were located in the Immortal Mountain, and with the complete destruction of Zhulong's Dao-transforming Flame, the remaining treasures were taken away by the nine royal clans.

Moreover, the Kunlun clan had used up most of their immortal elixir because the Ten Supreme Beings were researching the Kunlun Immortal Array, and they also lacked the two types of immortal gold that Liang Yu was missing. Therefore, these things were of little use to Liang Yu. The only thing that was somewhat useful to Liang Yu was the Immortal Elixir.

Based on the lingering aura within the immortal mountain, Liang Yu sensed that the elixir of immortality belonging to Kunlun Immortal Mountain was the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality. Liang Yu had initially thought it would be the Ginseng Fruit Tree, but it wasn't. However, it wasn't surprising that it was the White Tiger Divine Elixir. After all, this divine elixir was hidden here in later generations and later voluntarily sought refuge with Ye Fan.

Liang Yu could naturally trace the location of the White Tiger Divine Medicine based on this aura, but there was no need for it, because he vaguely deduced that this divine medicine would return to Ying Shenxiao along with the nine royal families of Kunlun.

After all, it wasn't the Chaos Green Lotus that was the predecessor of the Azure Emperor, and the White Tiger Divine Medicine didn't align with Liang Yu's path. Moreover, now that it was in Ying Shenxiao's hands, he could study it without any obstacles. Liang Yu revisited this place to take advantage of the fact that the terrain hadn't changed much, to trace the past of the Immortal Bell and Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

The desolate tower had fully regained its senses, but its feelings were somewhat complicated.

Firstly, the Heavenly Court established by the Desolate Emperor who once refined it has completely disappeared. It thought it would never see anything related to it again, but unexpectedly, it saw the ancient artifact left behind by the Desolate Emperor and used it to deal with it.
Secondly, it had agreed with Liang Yu to take down Kunlun together, but because it was controlled by the Supreme Being of the Divine Ruins, it played no role at all during the entire process. Now, the Kunlun Immortal Pool has cracked open.

Seeing Liang Yu's completely indifferent attitude, it felt a pang of heartache. This was a sacred mountain! The Immortal Bell was born from the Kunlun Immortal Pool. If it could soak in it, it would definitely benefit greatly—far more effective than any divine spring or marrow. Returning to the ancient star Kunlun this time, the Desolate Tower felt another wave of regret.

Liang Yu had no idea that the desolate tower had thought so much. He simply summoned the desolate tower and went straight to the original site of Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

The once majestic immortal mountain is now in Liang Yu's hands, leaving only a large pit on the ground. Only the remaining traces of immortal energy and dragon vein energy can still be felt to remind people of its former glory.

Liang Yu used the desolate tower to stabilize the void, formed hand seals, and began to trace history once more, looking back at the past. The sounds of ghosts wailing and gods howling reappeared, and dark clouds filled the sky, making it pitch black despite being daytime, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Between heaven and earth, only the light emanating from Liang Yu shone brightly. Under the illumination of divine light, countless fragments of history appeared in the sky.

Soon, he witnessed the magnificent scene of Ying Shenxiao's birth. Then, a figure appeared, the youngest of the Four Fiends, Qiongqi.

What use is a phantom image when all the living people have been killed?

Liang Yu shattered the mark with a single strike and continued to trace back. Next came Taotie, Taowu, Chaos, and Huashe, all of which were destroyed by Liang Yu in turn.

In the early mythological era, the figure of Zhulong appeared. But it still couldn't stop Liang Yu, and was instantly defeated.

Soon, he encountered that insurmountable barrier from before the mythical era once again. However, he had already broken through it once, so this time he was quite adept at it.

After breaking through the barrier again, the phantoms of Jiufeng, Luwu, and Bai Ze appeared one after another, but they were all defeated. Although the Immortal Bell was only born during the time of Bai Ze, it had already been gestating in the Immortal Pool long before that.

From this point onward, the Kunlun Immortal Mountain in the image began to shrink continuously, and its divine aura gradually diminished. Liang Yu vaguely sensed a terrifying power surrounding the outside world. He confined his supernatural powers entirely to the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, refusing to involve anything outside.

Finally, he traced back to when Kunlun Immortal Mountain was not yet fully formed, when a fragment the size of a small mountain fell from the sky and landed in the core immortal pool of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, which was not yet formed at that time.

It turns out that the Immortal Bell was a fragment of an ancient artifact that fell into this place, and then gradually grew into a complete bell as Kunlun Immortal Mountain grew.

Liang Yu tried to trace the origin of the fragments, and in an instant, the world changed color. A powerful backlash struck, and his body was covered with cracks.

However, he still caught a glimpse of a fragment: a broken bell with countless interwoven runes that revealed two large characters, though they were obscured by chaotic energy and could not be clearly seen.
