Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 670 Corpse Execution Immortal

The Undying Emperor said, "This method of dissolving the corpse to become an immortal was actually a rough idea that my master, the Boundless Great Heavenly Venerable, came up with when he was studying the Boundless Dao Stele, which was made by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, one of the nine great heavenly venerables of the ancient mythology."

"The Boundless Heavenly Venerable forged a unique path, creating a method of weapon control that no one can match to this day, as well as an extremely profound method of weapon forging. The Boundless Dao Stele, which he personally forged, is a special divine weapon that may be unique in this mortal universe."

“Other weapons, even celestial artifacts, cannot grow and evolve autonomously like a real life, but this Boundless Dao Stele is like a real magical artifact that can do this.”

"My master saw through this point, which is why he believed that if the secrets of the Boundless Dao Stele could be thoroughly studied, then one could maintain one's true self even when the primordial spirit merges with the Dao weapon, transforming into a completely new life form. This method could then become a new way to achieve immortality and become a celestial being. This is the origin of the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Method."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Phoenix Emperor couldn't help but say, "The Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji is indeed a master of creation. With just a little research, he was able to explore the prototype of a path to immortality."

The Undying Emperor said, "Yes, my master is an amazing figure whom I have never heard of in the Immortal Realm. Moreover, you may not know that the Earth Immortal Technique was also developed by my master. The first Earth Immortal in the mortal universe, the Longevity Celestial Venerable, succeeded step by step under his guidance."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Phoenix Emperor was even more shocked. This Boundless Heavenly Venerable was not only the first Mortal Immortal since the Mythical Era, but also joined forces with several other Heavenly Venerables from the Mythical Era to open up the Immortal Gate, thus creating the method for Heavenly Immortals to ascend to other realms. Even the methods for Earthly Immortals and Corpse-Dissolving Immortals were closely related to him.

It is truly unbelievable that all existing methods of achieving immortality are inseparable from the impetus of the Supreme Heavenly Venerable.

The Emperor of Immortality's words subtly reveal his ambition. The Supreme Celestial Venerable of Limitless Heaven once researched the methods of Earthly Immortals and guided the Celestial Venerable of Longevity to be the first to embark on this path. As his disciple, he also wanted to emulate his master, guiding the Blood Phoenix Emperor onto the path of Corpse-Dissolving Immortality and successfully achieving a breakthrough.

Moreover, in this process, he can also study a more advanced method of transformation, thereby elevating himself to a higher level and finding the next method of Nirvana.

The Undying Emperor had seen the Boundless Dao Stele. He knew that when the Boundless Dao Stele became a supreme immortal artifact, it would be transformed into a human under the guidance of his master. At that time, the method of corpse liberation would naturally be completely perfected because of him.

He wanted to achieve something on this path before the Boundless Dao Stele.

After calming his shock, the Blood Phoenix Emperor asked, "I wonder what research Your Majesty has done on this Corpse Dissolution Immortal Technique?"

The Undying Emperor said, "The greatest difficulty of the Corpse Dissolution Immortal Technique lies in how to maintain one's self after merging one's primordial spirit with the Dao Weapon, so as not to fall into a state of confusion and eventually evolve into an immortal artifact that is almost a completely new life form. At that time, whether one continues to evolve as an immortal artifact or breaks away from the immortal artifact body and is reborn, one can achieve unprecedented growth."

"Although I do not have the same deep understanding of the Boundless Dao Stele as my master, and I have not yet mastered how to make it a living weapon, I have many insights in other areas that are enough to make up for this."

The Immortal Emperor's methods mainly come from three aspects. The first is his research on the cycle of life and death from the lineage of the Underworld. These are insights he gained by trading the corpse energy generated during his Nirvana with the Underworld.

After a primordial spirit merges with a Dao weapon, it is essentially in a state of being half-alive and half-dead. After all, even immortal artifacts cannot be considered fully alive, let alone supreme imperial weapons.

The various experiences the Undying Emperor gained from the underworld allowed him to understand how to prevent his true spirit from falling into dormancy through special methods, thus achieving a state similar to the Boundless Dao Stele through a clever trick. The second crucial aspect is the power of Nirvana. To maintain the true spirit's immortality in this state of being half-alive and half-dead, the Nirvana power of the Phoenix clan is undoubtedly the most suitable support. Even when his physical body breaks in the future, the power of Nirvana can play a significant role in completely restoring his vitality.

This is also why the Immortal Emperor chose the Blood Phoenix Emperor.

Although the Blood Phoenix Emperor is not a true phoenix, and his Nirvana power is not complete, it is still enough to accomplish all this under these circumstances.

The evolutionary process of the Blood Phoenix Emperor can provide him with experience, allowing him to gain new insights on this path, and thus achieve a new transformation and rebirth by relying on this method when he dies in this life.

The third aspect comes from the method of separating the Dao Fruit by the Primordial Celestial Venerable. Before the primordial spirit merges with the Dao weapon, separating one's own Dao Fruit first ensures that if one is unable to persevere in the future and falls into silence, the Dao Fruit can be reintegrated into oneself to awaken the true spirit.

Moreover, if successful, it would allow the new Dao Fruit derived from oneself, which has been transformed into a vessel, to merge with the previous Dao Fruit, thereby completing a tremendous sublimation.

Of course, the most crucial point is that even the Undying Emperor is not confident in how to smoothly reincarnate as a human without any future troubles after transforming into a physical body. The power generated by the fusion of the Dao Fruit has a considerable probability of breaking the physical body, thereby achieving Nirvana.

With these three aspects combined, the Immortal Emperor's research on the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal technique is already quite profound.

Moreover, if a problem truly arises that is difficult to resolve, the Undying Emperor can still use the ultimate means, which is to ask his master, the Boundless Ultimate Heavenly Venerable, for help.

Upon hearing the Undying Emperor's deductions regarding the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Technique, even the Blood Phoenix Emperor was filled with awe. This Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Technique, culminating in a series of achievements, was enough to prove that the Undying Emperor was indeed the foremost figure of this era.

Although his method was to some extent based on the work of giants, drawing on the research of Wuji Tianzun, the achievements of the Underworld, the laws of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Nirvana power of the Phoenix Clan, the ability to integrate these studies and create a completely new method is enough to prove his extraordinary talent.

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "The Emperor is indeed incredibly talented. This method is truly mysterious and very suitable for us."

The Immortal Emperor said, "Then what do you think?"

The Blood Phoenix Emperor vaguely sensed that perhaps a large part of the Undying Emperor's support for him stemmed from his suitability for the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal technique that the Undying Emperor had deduced. Furthermore, the Blood Phoenix Emperor's research findings on this path could provide the Undying Emperor with a wealth of experience to refine this technique.

Even though he had guessed this, the Blood Phoenix Emperor didn't feel any negative emotions, because it was a mutually beneficial relationship. Without the Undying Emperor, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this.

Then the Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "This method suits my taste perfectly."
