Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 104 Division of Labor among the Three Bodies
Since the Underworld Lord cannot take the path of the Lord of Heaven and Earth above the Source Emperor, Liang Yu, as the second most skilled in Source Arts, might as well give it a try.

Of course, this is still a side job for him, and he must do it without affecting his path to immortality in the mortal world.

After all, the Immortal Path of the Mortal World is a truly broad and promising road, which will be of great benefit to future cultivation in the Immortal Path.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Liang Yu is almost ready to gather enough transformation techniques. Although he has only completed one-third of the Nine Incarnations of the Mortal World Immortal realm, it is not far off.

The so-called Lord of Heaven and Earth sounds very powerful, and indeed he is. However, in the end, he is still within the realm of humanity, and therefore naturally cannot compare to the Immortals of the Mortal World.

Whether it's the Underworld Lord or Liang Yu, their Origin Techniques are already equivalent to attaining the Dao and becoming Emperors. However, as the creator, the Underworld Lord's Origin Techniques are more comprehensive and profound.

Liang Yu initially learned Source Arts to aid his transformation and cultivation, hence his obvious bias. In some aspects, his Source Arts were no weaker than, and even slightly stronger than, those of the Underworld Lord, but he had not studied many aspects unrelated to his own cultivation and transformation.

The Lord of Heaven and Earth, as deduced by the Underworld Lord, is actually equivalent to the Heavenly Emperor level in the Path of Origin Arts, or at most, the level of a multi-life Heavenly Emperor. To explore the subsequent Origin Arts of Immortality would be extremely difficult.

For Liang Yu at least, this was indeed more difficult than becoming a mortal immortal.

Therefore, this method can only be applied according to fate, and one should proceed as one goes.

For Liang Yu and the Underworld Lord, cracking the Immortal Tomb is actually much more difficult than dealing with Kunlun Immortal Mountain. After all, they have two entry points for Kunlun Immortal Mountain: the Immortal Blood of Kunlun and the Immortal Bell.

But for the Immortal Tomb, they only have one method: the remaining immortal bones.

However, the laws and origins within these immortal corpses have largely dissipated, merging with the immortal tomb to form entirely new laws and Dao traces. Even if they possess these immortal corpses, it would be extremely difficult for them to comprehend the immortal tomb through them.

After his initial excitement subsided, the Underworld Lord sat down again and said, "Alas, this Immortal Tomb has become a problem. Even though we know it's a wondrous place formed with the help of external forces, once it becomes a wondrous place, it's self-contained and seamless. These immortal corpses only retain immortal energy, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to use them to trigger the core laws of the Immortal Tomb and thus break through its defenses."

Dao Wo Liang Yu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ming Zun, there's no need to worry. I have a way to handle this."

As he spoke, he took a ball of flame from his body.

The main body of this flame is a fire tree more than half a meter tall, its entire body interwoven with mysterious runes, exuding an aura of incineration.

Above the fiery tree, there was a small celestial phoenix made of runes and Dao principles, leaping from branch to branch and chirping, its voice as clear and melodious as the mingling of beautiful jade.

This is celestial fire! I, Liang Yu, brought this fire along on my way to Kunlun Immortal Mountain because I had some ideas about how to crack the Immortal Tomb and needed the help of celestial fire.

The Underworld Lord frowned and said, "This fire is no ordinary thing. Could it be the primordial fire of some immortal?"

Daowo Liang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, when I first saw this fire, I could tell that it was surrounded by immortal energy, contained immortal laws, and had the characteristics of immortality. It could even absorb the immortal light that dissipated from the path to immortality and the chaotic energy that dissipated from the Big Dipper to strengthen itself."

"This fire has extraordinary uses; it can even repair the immortal artifact, the Desolate Tower, and possesses a kind of rebirth characteristic. I once guessed that it was either left behind by an immortal who cultivated the divine power of the Immortal Phoenix, or left behind by a true Immortal Phoenix."

Of course, the truth will be revealed in less than 100,000 years. Because at that time, the true Immortal Phoenix Emperor will fall from the Immortal Realm to the mortal world. If you want to know, just ask him. The Underworld Lord opened his Heavenly Eye and carefully observed the laws within the immortal fire, saying, "You intend to use this thing's power of rebirth to make the immortal corpse reappear according to the laws of immortality, thereby leveraging the laws of the Immortal Tomb?"

Liang Yu replied, "You guessed right. That's exactly what I was planning."

As he spoke, he took out the immortal skull, activated the immortal fire to cover it, and it burned continuously. With Liang Yu's support, the immortal fire fully exerted its power of rebirth.

Countless beams of divine light flowed around, and slowly, a trace of divine essence began to emerge on this lifeless skull.

After a while, both Daowo Liang Yu and the Underworld Lord captured that trace of the Immortal Dao Law.

They treasured this precious wisp of immortal law and sealed it away, using it to begin infiltrating and stimulating the immortal tomb.

With the aid of the Source Technique, they finally succeeded in capturing the special laws within the Immortal Tomb. It was an extremely chaotic law, seemingly formed by the intertwining and entanglement of multiple different laws, creating a unique and complex structure within the chaos.

The Underworld Lord said, "It turns out there are more than just these three immortal corpses in this Immortal Tomb, but they have all been completely decomposed and integrated into the Immortal Tomb. Even under such a chaotic interweaving of immortal laws, it still formed such a unique law that is almost flawless. Indeed, every wondrous place is the greatest miracle in the world."

Dao Wo Liang Yu withdrew this wisp of immortal law and said, "Then, Fellow Daoist Netherworld Venerable, let's begin. Fellow Daoists Changsheng, Jimie, and Zhenyu, please also participate and strive to complete it in the shortest possible time."

The Underworld Lord sighed and said, "Alas, my transformation process is truly restless. It was bad enough that I was interrupted several times before, but now I have to do this kind of exhausting thing. The most crucial thing is that I have to participate in it myself. It's really a cruel twist of fate."

"However, although Nirvana, Immortality, and Prison Suppression also used the life-extending technique of the Carefree, they still severed their own supreme beings. If you bring them here, do you have a way to replenish their lifespan?"

Liang Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I still have some Kunlun Immortal Liquid left. This precious liquid can not only help us break the laws of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, but also extend their lives. It's just that this time I'm afraid I'll have to use up the stockpile I extorted from 50,000 years ago."

As he spoke, he sent a divine message to the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, and the Emperor of Prison Suppression. At this time, these three supreme beings were not yet asleep, so they gladly accepted Liang Yu's invitation.

Their remaining lifespans were essentially meaningless; as long as they could hold on until Kunlun Immortal Mountain completed its repairs, they could be reborn. Therefore, they would have come even if Liang Yu hadn't provided Kunlun Immortal Elixir to replenish their lives.

After all, at this time, one should accumulate more spiritual cultivation so that one can go faster and further in the next life.

Under the arrangement of Daowo Liang Yu and Ming Zun, the five of them quickly became busy.

At this time, Liang Yu's Dao Wo had a heavy burden. He needed to decipher and repair Kunlun Immortal Mountain and crack the Immortal Tomb. However, with the help of the Underworld Lord and three other people, it was actually not too bad.

After Liang Yu's death, I entered a period of asceticism, attempting to unravel the mysteries of the Primordial Ancient Mine through the Holy Spirit Primordial.

Liang Yu's main body is also about to begin arduous cultivation, and his task is the most demanding.
