Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 631 Practice
The Celestial Venerable of Longevity said, “No need for formalities. Although you are my junior, you have now successfully attained enlightenment. There is no need to care about these differences in status. Just address me as Fellow Daoist.”

Shengxuan Tianzun said, "Ancestor, my cultivation and physique are all due to you. I dare not overstep my bounds."

Seeing the resolute look in Shengxuan Heavenly Venerable's eyes, Changsheng Heavenly Venerable said, "Since that's the case, then it's up to you."

Shengxuan Tianzun then said, "Ancestor, if Wuji Tianzun was already so powerful when he inscribed the words hundreds of thousands of years ago, how could he be so powerful now?"

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, yet these two lines still exude a terrifying aura. Shengxuan Tianzun, an invincible Daoist, could only conclude that the gap between herself and her opponent was as vast as heaven and earth. This caused all the pride in her heart to vanish.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality said, "You should have already captured some information about becoming an immortal through the Heavenly Heart Mark, right? The current Celestial Venerable of Limitless Limits is naturally an immortal in the mortal world, living a long and immortal life."

Upon hearing this, Shengxuan Tianzun was greatly shocked. However, since the most revered Dao-proving beings in the Immortal Tomb were the nine Heavenly Venerables of the Mythical Era, Wuji Tianzun's status was undoubtedly that of the number one being in the mortal realm. Therefore, Shengxuan Tianzun easily accepted this fact.

She said, "If anyone in this world can become a mortal immortal through repeated rebirths, it must be the Great Celestial Venerable."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity said, "Yes, that's how the Great Celestial Venerable inspires awe."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity and the Celestial Venerable of Life and Profound Enlightenment entered the Hall of Longevity and sat facing each other. The Ginseng Fruit Tree had also somehow entered the hall.

Over the years, it has grown alongside the Immortal Tomb, and the connection between them has become increasingly close. However, unlike the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, it has not been completely integrated with the Immortal Tomb, so its growth rate has begun to slow down.

Of course, although it is still quite a distance from transforming into human form, the ginseng fruit tree's intelligence is already highly developed. Therefore, it has begun to consciously promote its transformation plan.

It strengthened the connection between this body, which served as the elixir of immortality, and the Immortal Tomb, almost merging them into one, thus allowing it to gain more benefits from the Immortal Tomb. However, it also intentionally maintained the independence of its core laws and main consciousness from the Immortal Tomb.

In this way, it can attempt to one day detach itself directly from the body of this divine tree and complete its transformation. At that time, the body of this divine tree will be its reward to the Immortal Tomb, or rather, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.

The reason why the ginseng fruit tree came to this place is because Shengxuan Tianzun would definitely need it for his cultivation.

After all, the ginseng fruit tree can not only prolong the life of Shengxuan Tianzun, but the laws contained within it are also similar to those of Shengxuan Tianzun.

Although Shengxuan Tianzun had only seen the ginseng fruit tree once when she was born, she had never forgotten the kindness of its baptism. Therefore, she was quite happy to see it and bowed to it.

Even disregarding this favor, the ginseng fruit tree is a mascot of the Immortal Mausoleum and a senior figure.

The ginseng fruit tree waved its branches in return, then silently took root and remained still.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality said, "You already know several methods to become an immortal. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Shengxuan Tianzun said, "The Corpse-Dissolving Immortal method of Yuanshen Hedaobing is too uncertain, dangerous and with little reward, so it is not suitable for me; the Earth Immortal method requires extraordinary lands, but my physique is born from the Immortal Tomb and cannot be compatible with other extraordinary lands, so this method is also not suitable for me." "Therefore, I can only try my best to transform, and when I can no longer do so, I will enter the Immortal Gate to ascend."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity said, “Yes, this is the path that most Dao-proving beings in the human universe would choose. Your birth was a bit too early. In the future, the Immortal Mausoleum may be able to evolve to the point where it can accommodate more than one Earth Immortal, but at least for now, I cannot do that. Therefore, this is the only choice I can make.”

"But I don't know where you'd like to begin?"

Shengxuan Tianzun was not surprised by what Changsheng Tianzun said. She had already gained a deep understanding of the development history of the Immortal Mausoleum when she was young. She knew that during the years when Changsheng Tianzun became an Earth Immortal, the Immortal Mausoleum had been continuously expanding, and the laws and traces within it had become more and more perfect and powerful with this process.

Therefore, as long as the Celestial Venerable of Longevity can break through to a completely new realm, the Immortal Mausoleum may indeed be able to expand to the point of accommodating new Earth Immortals.

Firstly, this process would take countless millennia to complete, and the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan simply couldn't wait that long. Secondly, she herself didn't want to follow the path of the Earth Immortal, but rather wanted to explore the vast myriad realms of the heavens.

Shengxuan Tianzun said, "There are only two points: one is to continue to comprehend the Ancient Scripture of Burial Immortals, or the Scripture of Longevity Immortals; the other is to comprehend the laws within the Ginseng Fruit Tree."

Although her physique was originally formed by the laws of the Immortal Tomb, it only contains a portion of the mysteries of the Immortal Tomb. Therefore, relying on the complete laws of the Immortal Tomb, there is still hope that she can complete a transformation.

After all, the Immortal Tomb, under the continuous evolution of the Eternal Celestial Venerable, is no longer comparable to a normal wondrous land.

As for the Ginseng Fruit Tree, it goes without saying that part of the evolution of the Immortal Mausoleum was based on the principles of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, which in turn was closely connected to and influenced the Immortal Mausoleum. Therefore, the mysteries of the Ginseng Fruit Tree naturally align with those of the Celestial Venerable of Life and Profound Mystery.

Therefore, although these two paths are not entirely the same, they are subtly connected.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity said, “You can focus on your cultivation. On these two paths, the Ginseng Fruit Tree and I will provide you with the greatest support. However, you don’t need to feel any pressure. I myself relied on the Elixir of Immortality and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to live three lifetimes, but I still failed to reverse my life. This shows that the method of transformation is as difficult as ascending to heaven.”

Shengxuan Tianzun said, "Thank you for your help, Ancestor. I will take this matter in stride."

Next, with the help of the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Shengxuan Heavenly Venerable began further cultivation. While comprehending the method of transformation, he also continuously improved his own Dao Fruit, allowing his Dao cultivation to progress.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity is the master of the Immortal Mausoleum Realm. The laws of the Immortal Mausoleum are the manifestation of his own Dao Fruit. Naturally, he can directly mobilize the laws of the Immortal Mausoleum to meticulously unfold various mysteries in front of the Celestial Venerable of Life and Profoundness.

Therefore, even though the Ancient Scripture of Burial Immortals or the Scripture of Immortal Longevity has become incredibly complex, the Celestial Venerable of Life and Profound Realm can still glean a great deal of profound knowledge from it and use it for his own advancement.

As for the ginseng fruit tree, as an elixir of immortality with a much higher level of intelligence than most other elixirs of immortality, although it cannot control the laws within its own body like the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, it can still guide the Celestial Venerable of Life and Profound Enlightenment to comprehend the part where the fragments of its own laws converge the most.

With this dual assistance, the cultivation of the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan began to advance steadily.
