Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 410 The Initial Form of the Field
Liang Yu had already sensed this aura when Lingbao Tianzun began to revive. He had long ago mobilized the origin of the universe to form a spatial channel and came directly to the vicinity of Yuhua Divine Island, thus perceiving the entire process of Lingbao Tianzun regaining himself after communicating with the spirit.

Even Liang Yu today has to marvel at the exquisite transformation process of Lingbao Tianzun.

The Scripture of Salvation was originally just a result of Lingbao Tianzun's research into the weaknesses of the corpse calamity in order to suppress it. Sword techniques and array patterns, on the other hand, were the paths that Lingbao Tianzun himself wanted to take.

But it was precisely in this direction that Lingbao Tianzun further developed his knowledge, uncovering some of the mysteries of the Reincarnation Seal, thus transcending life and death and breaking the Reincarnation Seal to be reborn. This was indeed a truly astonishing achievement.

Although it took fifty to sixty thousand years, and Lingbao Tianzun fell behind as a result, the results of this rebirth were even better than those of his previous life. Therefore, Lingbao Tianzun's cultivation level did not decline.

However, if the Lord of the Underworld could witness this process, his transformation might be even faster. But now, the Lord of the Underworld is hiding in the universe, having entered a long period of transformation.

According to the original timeline, the Underworld Lord would not reappear until the late Primordial Era, and would be unexpectedly witnessed by the Human Demon Dongfang Taiyi.

However, the current Underworld Lord has achieved more and accumulated more, so his transformation might be faster. Perhaps this can help him accelerate his progress once he re-emerges.

As Liang Yu pondered, Lingbao Tianzun completed his transformation. He began to modify Yuhua Divine Island to evolve again while simultaneously opening the great formation to invite Liang Yu in.

Lingbao Tianzun looked at Liang Yu and instantly discerned that Liang Yu was now in a special state of being united with the universe, thus gaining immortality.

He said, "You clearly already have the method to continue your rebirth and become an immortal in the mortal world, yet you still choose to merge with the universe and limit yourself. Fellow Daoist, your ambitions are great and your aspirations are lofty."

Liang Yu said, "Why can't I take a shortcut by coveting the longevity of living as long as the heavens?"

Lingbao Tianzun said, "Because Fellow Daoist Wuji, you will never be satisfied with this."

Liang Yu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lingbao understands me best. To be honest, I did this so that I would have enough time to explore the path ahead. Since the Immortal of the Mortal World is a special state, it must have a peak."

"As long as I can stand at this pinnacle, I can lay the most solid foundation for the Great Dao even in the realm of immortals. In order to deal with the darkness that may exist in the immortal realm and even in all the heavens and myriad worlds in the future, I have no choice but to do so."

Lingbao Tianzun pondered for a moment upon hearing this. Liang Yu truly deserved to be the only one among them to obtain the title of Great Tianzun. Not only was he already confident of becoming a Red Dust Immortal, but he had even begun to lay the groundwork to become the strongest in the Red Dust Immortal realm.

He sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist Wuji is truly farsighted. I'm afraid the rest of us have already been left behind by you."

Liang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Lingbao is too modest. Your transformation this time is truly astonishing. Moreover, judging from your process of transforming Jade Flower Divine Island, it seems that you have already explored a new method that combines source techniques and array patterns, isn't that right?"

Lingbao Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist, haven't you already realized this long ago?"

The two exchanged a smile and then began to discuss their respective findings.

After fully merging with the human universe, Liang Yu began to understand more deeply and meticulously that every inch of emptiness and every world in the universe, even the most ordinary and common parts, contained a natural texture, but it was too weak to play a role.

The primordial patterns engraved on those special terrains, especially the strange lands, are exceptionally exquisite, and can directly give rise to special Dao traces, special laws, and even special world origin power.

Once he could comprehend this level, he could replicate the terrain, even extracting its essence and secrets to create special formations, and perhaps even directly create new wondrous lands. After grasping this level, Liang Yu truly explored a new path, though it was only just beginning, it held infinite possibilities.

Because the laws, the traces of the Dao, and the origins are changeable and inconsistent across different worlds. However, the primordial patterns engraved within them remain constant and will not change even in other worlds.

Of course, Liang Yu derived this from the completely restored Mount Tai, as well as the two realms of the underworld and the immortal tomb, and even from the myriad realms of the human universe.

These landforms were formed at different times, and some even originated from beyond the human universe, but their original textures are common.

Therefore, Liang Yu speculated that this point would not change even in the Immortal Realm or the myriad realms of the heavens.

Liang Yu's 60,000-year existence was a continuous exploration and verification of this point, and he began to slowly develop a completely new method.

This new method combines the mysteries of array patterns, but it's more like a comprehensive, superior replacement of source techniques. Of course, even after using it for so long, Liang Yu has only just begun.

Even so, it can be foreseen that as this method is perfected, there is even hope that an evolutionary direction independent of the secret realm system will emerge.

Over the years, Liang Yu had another conjecture about this new law.

The fields that became popular in later generations originated from people who saw the original textures projected onto special terrain at the right time, and then imitated them, engraving them in other areas to artificially construct terrains with similar lethality.

Based on this foundation, they continued to delve deeper and refine it, eventually forming a method that could exist independently of other cultivation systems, yet complement them.

The new method that Liang Yu is currently developing seems to be vaguely similar to the field method. Through his diligent research, he seems to have unexpectedly crossed paths with those who were originally supposed to create the field method.

When Liang Yu revealed all his achievements, Lingbao Tianzun was once again shocked.

Through in-depth research in his previous life and a flash of inspiration in this life, Lingbao Tianzun was able to deeply perceive the original patterns in Yuhua Divine Island and master the method of extracting and replicating its core secrets to reproduce it in another place.

However, Lingbao Tianzun can only completely control Yuhua Divine Island at present. He has not yet mastered the method that affects all terrains. Liang Yu, on the other hand, has already taken the lead and begun to summarize, generalize and derive the method to truly perfect it and make it a complete system.

Although his transformation over 60,000 years led to his decline, it is enough to demonstrate his amazing nature.

After the two verified each other's findings, they discovered that although their methods differed somewhat, they ultimately arrived at the same goal through different paths.

Lingbao Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, although this technique is only in its rudimentary form, it has great potential and is a more complete and powerful technique than array patterns and source techniques. Shouldn't we give it a name?"

Liang Yu said, "Let's call it 'Field'."

Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun exclaimed, "Excellent!"
