Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 635 Ascension
Lingbao Tianzun arrived opposite Xuanwu Emperor, flicked his finger, and a beam of immortal light flew out, transforming into a Dao diagram that grew longer in the wind. Within it, countless field techniques changed constantly, dazzling and mesmerizing.

This diagram reflects Lingbao Tianzun's further understanding of the field techniques over the years. However, to gain these insights, Xuanwu Huang needs to continuously decipher them using the field techniques in order to master them.

Lingbao Tianzun knew at a glance that Xuanwu Emperor had a deep understanding of the secrets of the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir, and thus condensed this earth immortal true body that was almost like the immortal Xuanwu.

As for other aspects, we only need to look at how much the Jade Flower Divine Island has expanded in size and what changes have occurred in the evolution of its internal laws to know.

Although Xuanwu Emperor's progress was not very fast, this was not entirely due to his personal talent. It was mostly because the method of becoming an Earth Immortal was a slow and gradual process with very slow results.

Therefore, as long as Lingbao Tianzun saw that he was making steady and continuous progress without making any mistakes, he was already very satisfied.

However, these are all achievements of the Xuanwu Emperor in the secret realm magic system; it is difficult to directly see how well he has cultivated the field magic.

After all, Emperor Xuanwu is far from reaching the level of Lingbao Tianzun and Wuji Tianzun, who can use the field technique to modify their physical body, and the field technique he has mastered is not that profound.

Therefore, Lingbao Tianzun released this Dao diagram to test Xuanwu Huang's mastery of the field method over the years, so as to understand his progress and better guide his cultivation. At the same time, he also taught him the new achievements he had made over the years step by step.

Before Emperor Xuanwu could say anything to Lingbao Tianzun, he was drawn to the Dao diagram. A dark tortoise shell appeared in his hand, upon which the Dao diagram continuously flickered with various runes formed by rays of spiritual light.

Emperor Xuanwu immediately entered the deepest level of enlightenment, and even his innate divine power was activated naturally, greatly enhancing his deductive abilities to help him better comprehend the mysteries contained in this Dao diagram.

During this process, Lingbao Tianzun discovered that although Xuanwu Emperor had some talent for the field method, his progress was slow because this system was still incomplete and not yet fully developed.

However, given Xuanwu Emperor's realm and cultivation level, the fact that he was able to cultivate to this level is enough to show that he has not been lazy at all over the years and has maintained a very high level of enthusiasm and perseverance in his cultivation.

Under these circumstances, Lingbao Tianzun was quite satisfied with Xuanwu Emperor, and he considered him to have passed this round of testing.

Lingbao Tianzun stopped paying attention to Xuanwu Emperor and turned his attention to Yuhua Divine Island.

Lingbao Tianzun had no particular opinion about the Jade Flower Clan on Jade Flower Divine Island. For Emperor Xuanwu to have enabled them to awaken their intelligence, embark on cultivation, shed their most primal bestial nature, and uphold a heart devoted to the Dao was already quite remarkable for such a detached and indifferent emperor.

Lingbao Tianzun strode towards Biyou Palace, returning to his long-lost home where he had lived for countless millennia.

Although he has made progress in both systems, there are still things he doesn't understand about how to become a mortal immortal. Therefore, he needs to continue his seclusion to explore further.

Master Lingbao and his disciples began their own cultivation and started a new round of seclusion.

Time flies, and ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After experiencing the sublimation of living a second life, the lifespan of Shengxuan Tianzun in this life also increased significantly.

Now, in her second life, she is already twelve thousand years old, and she feels that her peak is about to pass. In other words, she has a lifespan of approximately eighteen thousand years in this second life. Although she may not be able to compare with the Taiyin Human Emperor in her first life, their lifespans are indeed almost the same.

After all, whether it's the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, the Immortal Tomb Law, or the Ginseng Fruit Tree, they all have unique aspects in the laws of life and the methods of immortality. Taken together, her lifespan has indeed made significant progress.

Regarding the method to begin the next life, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan has always focused on the ginseng fruit tree.

However, during her more than 10,000 years of cultivation, she fully realized that it was extremely difficult, almost impossible, to comprehend the profound and unfathomable laws contained in the elixir of immortality and use them to promote her own transformation.

Even with such superior conditions, she still couldn't achieve this within the limited time. Of course, although she couldn't undergo a metamorphosis, she gained a deep understanding of the laws within the ginseng fruit tree, significantly improving her cultivation.

At this moment, the Celestial Venerable of Life and Profound Realm couldn't help but feel a deep respect for those who had repeatedly defied the laws of rebirth. When she first attained enlightenment, she had thought that she could do what others couldn't, and even if she couldn't become a mortal immortal, she would defy the laws of rebirth several times.

But now it seems that the only difference between her and most of the past enlightened beings is that she was very lucky, with the help of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Having fully accepted reality, Shengxuan Tianzun immediately abandoned further research and placed his hopes for further advancement in the world after his ascension.

She had learned from the Celestial Venerable of Immortality that it was a world where some longevity substances existed, which could allow her to live for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years longer.

Under such circumstances, even if that world is still in the Dharma-ending Age like the human universe, it is enough for her to have time to achieve a greater breakthrough.

Just as Shengxuan Tianzun finished his seclusion, Changsheng Tianzun appeared before her.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality asked, "Are you going to ascend to the Immortal Realm?"

Shengxuan Tianzun said, "Yes, Ancestor, I have reached my limit. I have no possibility of further progress in the human universe. I can only continue to work hard after entering that world."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity said, “Very well, that is a much wider world, destined to have more possibilities. Moreover, you may only need to stay there for hundreds of thousands of years to wait for several fellow Daoists, such as the Celestial Venerable of Limitless Limit, the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning, the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, and the Celestial Venerable of Mortal Mortals, to become Immortals and lead you into the Immortal Realm.”

Shengxuan Tianzun said, "Then this junior will take the auspicious words of the ancestor."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity said, “I don’t know the details of that world either, but once you enter it, you can try to find the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana. I have some connection with him, and since you are unfamiliar with the place, you can quickly learn about and become familiar with everything in that world through him.”

Shengxuan Tianzun said, "Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor. I will adapt to the situation."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity said, "I hope we will meet again in the future."

Shengxuan Tianzun bowed and took his leave, then fled into the depths of the starry sky, entering another world through the immortal gate.
