Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 275 The Immortal Sect Appears in the World
Having already transformed into a chaotic entity, and thus further advancing his Origin Techniques, Liang Yu, who was getting closer and closer to the realm of the universe's master, naturally had a premonition of this change in the great universe.

From this moment forward, perhaps only ten thousand years will be needed for the universe to complete a generational shift. Of course, this is also the result of careful calculation by Liang Yu and others. By abandoning the Heavenly Heart Imprint at this time, Yuanshi Tianzun can precisely allow the ten thousand years of his Great Dao Imprint's dissipation to coincide with the transitional period of generational change and the instability of the laws of heaven and earth.

In the original timeline, the human universe seemed to have changed little from the mythological era to the ancient era, except that it shifted from being dominated by sects and factions to being dominated by races and bloodlines. However, the overall environment of the human universe actually deteriorated somewhat.

While not commonplace in the mythological era, the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, though not unique to any one family, had essentially disappeared in the Primordial Era. This was partly due to the great upheaval caused by the fall of the Heavenly Court, which led to the severing of countless traditions from the mythological era, including the formula for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

However, on the other hand, it is also because some special divine materials from the mythological era were basically extinct in the ancient times and are now difficult to find.

These divine materials were common in the early mythological era, but became extremely scarce by the end of it, and almost disappeared in the primordial era. This process reveals that the human universe was indeed weakening. The human universe had to reduce or even abandon the creation of some rare and precious materials to ensure the normal operation of the main body of the universe.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Nine-Turn Immortal Elixir couldn't be refined after the mythical era. As long as you have the correct formula and enough lifespan to find the materials and modify the formula based on their availability and changes, it's still possible to refine it. It's just that the difficulty is extremely high, and most ancient emperors couldn't achieve it in their entire lives.

In the current timeline, because the forbidden zones of life have been completely eradicated, dozens of Supreme Beings have returned to the world, thus improving the overall condition of the universe considerably. In addition, two Earth Immortals have begun cultivating the universe at a rate that is difficult to perceive.

Therefore, the primordial era that is about to arrive will not be worse than the mythological era. It might even be better.

Liang Yu delved into the origin of the universe and began to perceive the laws of heaven and earth for the next era, thus understanding the essence of the rise of all races in the ancient times.

The various races of the mythical era had accumulated sufficient power, and sooner or later they would begin to expand, triggering a great war among all races—this was an inevitable trend. However, other sects and divine dynasties were also powerful; why weren't they as prosperous in the ancient era?
This is mainly because the cosmic laws of the next era will favor the cultivation of various races' bloodlines. In the primordial era, all races were more likely to produce offspring with powerful bloodlines, and the average level and upper and lower limits of their bloodline power continuously increased under the cosmic laws. Under these circumstances, the primordial era naturally became the domain of other races.

Of course, in the original timeline, the human race in the ancient era was not weak overall in the human universe. In fact, even if all races increased in overall strength due to version updates, and the human race suffered a disadvantage due to the lack of racial bloodline power, the human race was still one of the top races in the universe.

Humanity was indeed not as prosperous as it was in the mythological era. After all, the nine most famous Celestial Venerables in the mythological era were mostly human. Although this era did not place much importance on racial differences, their legacy was enough to make humanity the mainstream in the mythological era.

However, in the series of events following the fall of the Heavenly Court, humanity was targeted, leading to the extinction of its lineage and the erasure of much of the legacy left by the Nine Heavenly Venerables. Therefore, humanity was forced to shrink its sphere of influence during this period. Consequently, many star regions far from humanity's core territory were taken over and dominated by other races.

This resulted in the fact that in the core regions where humans held a dominant position, they remained a powerful race; even in negotiations with other races, their overall strength was first-rate. However, in the vast areas outside the core territory of human power, humanity fared much worse. This was exemplified by the Ziwei Star, which had undergone a large-scale purge.

Therefore, the reason why the Taiyin Human Emperor and the Taiyang Holy Emperor held such high positions was that their appearance not only made the human race once again the most powerful race in the human universe, but also allowed countless humans who had been oppressed by other races because they were far from the human race's sphere of influence to regain their dignity and become stronger.

Of course, in the current timeline, the legacy of the mythological era has not been interrupted, and the blessings enjoyed by humanity have not been erased. Therefore, humanity is still the most powerful race in the universe. Even if other races grew stronger due to changes in the laws of heaven and earth in the primordial era, they would probably find it difficult to challenge the profound foundation of humanity.

Of course, even so, the human race's sphere of influence will inevitably shrink, as they will likely face a united front against other races. It is foreseeable that several major wars will break out in the future.

However, these matters were of no concern to Liang Yu at this moment. After all, true powerhouses are born amidst fire and swords. Unless it was a crisis of annihilation like the self-destruction of a supreme being, Liang Yu would not intervene, but instead trust in the wisdom of future generations. Liang Yu was merely using this era's changes to comprehend the shifts in the laws of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, following their plan, stood amidst the starry sky, his aura continuously rising. That terrifying aura, enough to shake the entire universe, was truly vast and mighty, even causing the Heavenly Heart Imprint to teeter on the brink of collapse. Cultivators in various ancient stars and realms throughout the universe all sensed this supreme aura.

Although forty thousand years have passed, the legends of the Immortal Sect have continued to circulate in the human universe. Now, with the Primordial Celestial Venerable releasing his full aura without restraint, these cultivators naturally associate it with the existence of the Immortal Sect.

Could it be that the Primordial Celestial Venerable is really going to ascend to immortality through the Immortal Gate? The various cultivators, who had a premonition that they might witness a miracle, all turned their attention to this place.

The aura of the Primordial Celestial Venerable continued to rise, and boundless immortal light shone from his body in all directions, as if a celestial being had descended to earth, exuding endless immortal charm. Moreover, within the Cauldron of All Things hovering above his head, the image of all spirits manifested, encompassing countless worlds.

When Yuanshi Tianzun unleashed the Creation Seal, it was as if the world had just begun to open, and all things were born. The power of creation and evolution intertwined, encompassing all the heavens, myriad realms, and all phenomena.

With this strike, a huge hole was instantly torn open in the void. Even though the Primordial Celestial Venerable had restrained his power and concentrated his burst, this strike still made the entire universe tremble.

Within this void, a portal woven from celestial light emerged from the chaotic energy, seemingly containing endless celestial light.
