Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 115 Road to Immortality

These words immediately caused a huge stir, shaking the entire universe. Even the hidden supreme beings of the forbidden zones couldn't help but pay attention to this matter.

Is the Limitless Heavenly Venerable about to ascend to immortality?

Throughout countless millennia, at least in the known millions of years, no one has ever truly become an immortal.

Although the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji is powerful, can he truly create history and accomplish something that has not been done for millions of years? Faced with this difficult question, even those cultivators who had the most confidence in Liang Yu were inevitably unsure of themselves.

But deep down, regardless of likes or dislikes, good or evil, they all hoped that Liang Yu could succeed.

If even the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji cannot become an immortal, then the probability of others becoming immortals is basically zero. Only if he becomes an immortal can future generations continue their cultivation with greater confidence, instead of constantly exploring a path whose direction and end are unknown.

Within those forbidden zones, even the supreme beings began to discuss amongst themselves.

"Is Wuji finally unable to hold on any longer?"

"Impossible. Don't forget he has more than one kind of immortality elixir. Wuji has never lived a lifetime in this way before."

"That's right. Wuji hasn't taken the elixir of immortality yet, so he can definitely continue living. Besides, the next path to immortality is still tens of thousands of years away, so there's no way he won't be able to wait that long."

"Now is not the right time, nor is Wuji in the right place, and there is only him, this powerful person. Can he succeed?"

"Wuji once told Xiaoyao that we couldn't even get into the path to immortality, but now he's going to try it himself, and at such the wrong time. Does one need Wuji's strength to enter the Immortal Realm?"

These supreme beings calmed their complex thoughts and began to look expectantly towards the edge of the universe. After all, even though most of them were irreconcilably opposed to Wuji, they still did not want Wuji to fail. They hoped to see a way forward from Wuji.

Liang Yu stepped into the desolate, uninhabited area on the edge of the universe.

He invigorated his vital energy, and his previously aged body regained its youthful vigor. His once gray hair turned jet black, and the signs of decay disappeared. His vital energy flowed like a vast ocean, filling the universe.

The previously precarious marks grew even larger, and the entire universe was enveloped by Liang Yu's aura. The boundless sky seemed to be collapsing and pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.

Liang Yu roared and struck the void, causing the universe to tremble and the void to shatter. This was perhaps the most powerful strike in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

Then, the Immortal Bell and the Desolate Tower, one on the left and one on the right, each emitted beams of immortal light, separating and fixing the void that Liang Yu had pierced.

Streaks of celestial light flashed, and patches of auspicious energy intertwined, as a passage forged from blazing celestial light was pierced through.

Liang Yu stood up and stepped inside. A series of booming sounds came from within, each one shaking the universe as if it were the end of the world.

In the end, everything vanished without a sound. The terrifying void rifts that Liang Yu had pierced, stretching across the universe, slowly began to close, and finally, everything returned to calm.

Did he succeed? Or did he fail? The world cannot be sure.

Even those supreme beings in the forbidden zones were confused, because they couldn't confirm it either.

Judging from the aura, there was indeed a moment just now when they seemed to sense the aura of another world. So, Liang Yu must have succeeded.

But for some reason, they felt something was off. Was that world truly the Immortal Realm? Had Wuji really broken in? They dared not draw any conclusions about what had transpired in the distant void. However, Wuji had brought both immortal artifacts with him; surely he couldn't have just been putting on an act for them?

However, they quickly dismissed the idea. They could sense that the imprint of the Great Dao of Wuji was gradually dissipating.

In any case, this Great Dao Mark can't lie, right? The Underworld Lord relied on the Reincarnation Mark and almost killed himself to achieve the ability to maintain his peak state without needing to merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark. They don't believe that Wuji could do this to deceive others at such a crucial moment in attacking the path to immortality.

However, now that the Great Dao Imprint has dissipated, whether Wuji successfully enters the Immortal Realm or fails and dies, he should no longer appear in this world.

Thinking of this, these supreme beings of the forbidden zones felt a great sense of relief. Never before had they felt that the sky above them was so blue, the clouds so white, and the world so beautiful.

From this day forward, the universe belongs to us again.

However, due to Liang Yu's lingering influence, they dared not act immediately. Of course, the main reason was also because there was no need. Under the call of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, although they devised a failed method of reincarnation, they still gained new insights into the methods of prolonging life.

Especially for those like the Carefree Celestial Venerable, who could not only prolong their lives but also slightly repair their Immortal Platform, their condition wasn't actually that bad. Therefore, initiating a Dark Turmoil was truly unnecessary.

It's definitely not because they're afraid Wuji has a backup plan.

With mixed feelings of relief, they fell asleep again.

Liang Yu strolled along the path to immortality. He was not dead, but he had not entered the Immortal Realm either. He had merely pierced through the endless void and connected this path to the ancient star Yinghuo.

The other world that the Supreme Beings sensed was naturally the aura that appeared after he broke through the strange world after arriving here.

The so-called Path to Immortality is actually a passage between the Great Universe and the Immortal Realm. Most of these passages were left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor through trial and error in his attempt to enter the Immortal Realm. These Paths to Immortality extend outward from the edge of the Great Universe, moving closer to the Immortal Realm.

There is actually a stable orbit between the Great Universe and the Immortal Realm, just like planets orbiting stars, going round and round without end.

The so-called correct time is when the universe is exactly at the point closest to the Immortal Realm; the so-called correct place is because at this time, the end of a certain path to immortality will be closest to the Immortal Realm.

If you were the Great Emperor of this era, it would be possible to close that final, brief gap between this path to immortality and the Immortal Realm, thus gaining entry into the Immortal Realm. This is the truth behind the path to immortality in the Big Dipper.

However, this window of opportunity is usually fleeting. The Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing missed the chance to become an immortal because he was too old and frail to cross this distance in a short time.

However, this also shows that even if most Great Emperors were in the right place at the right time, they might not be able to break through this type of path to immortality and enter the Immortal Realm. After all, Xue Yueqing is no ordinary Great Emperor; even though he is old, he is not much weaker than he was in his youth.

The path to immortality on Flying Immortal Star is the one that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor truly took to enter the Immortal Realm. It is the most correct path to immortality because it is genuinely connected to the Immortal Realm. As long as the right time arrives, it will connect with the Immortal Realm.

However, this path to immortality was originally the entrance for the Desolate Heavenly Emperor alone, and therefore could not support multiple people entering; in addition, at this time, the Immortal Realm had been destroyed, and this fragment of the Immortal Realm had developed a very strong self-protection mechanism, refusing entry to outsiders.

Even if this path to immortality is the true path, given the combination of these two factors, only two or three people can achieve immortality.

Of course, the path to immortality that Liang Yu is currently on, the ancient star Yinghuo, does not belong to either of the above two types.
