Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 714 The Spiritual Treasure is Successful
As the Celestial Venerable of Morality set off for the Boundless Immortal Mountain, the aura within Jade Flower Divine Island surged and began to change.

Just as the Celestial Venerable of Morality had sensed, the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, who had been dormant for 60,000 years, also ushered in the end of his transformation, thus beginning his ninth incarnation and truly entering the realm of the immortals in the mortal world.

Unlike the Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure had long witnessed the Celestial Venerable of Limitless Ultimate's state of being untouched by the passage of time, and had sensed the special aura of a mortal immortal from it. Therefore, he had more insight into this matter.

After studying the state of Yuanshi Tianzun when he reached this realm, Lingbao Tianzun could further summarize the commonalities between the two through comparison, so as to better grasp the immortal secrets of the mortal immortals.

This meant that Lingbao Tianzun's process of transforming himself through his own accumulation and successfully crossing the gap between immortals and mortals was smoother than that of Daode Tianzun. He only needed ten thousand years to basically achieve enlightenment.

However, like the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, Lingbao Tianzun also began to use this process to transform into his own supreme immortal body. This was the most effective way he knew of to perfect his immortal path in the mortal world, and he naturally wanted to try it.

However, since Lingbao Tianzun possessed two Dao Fruits and had not previously explored the path of physical evolution, his speed was naturally slower than that of Daode Tianzun, who had studied this path.

However, Lingbao Tianzun had used the array pattern method to modify himself and reconstructed himself by relying on the human body field. In addition, he was also very familiar with the several transformations of the physical evolution of Wuji Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun. Therefore, by drawing inferences from similar cases, he quickly grasped the method of physical evolution and did not fall too far behind.

Therefore, it took Lingbao Tianzun a total of 50,000 years to successfully evolve himself into a supreme immortal body that was unique to him. Perhaps this immortal body that was unique to him could also become the Lingbao Immortal Body.

Lingbao Tianzun opened his eyes and felt the immortal aura that was similar to that of Yuanshi Tianzun and Wuji Tianzun in the past. He was filled with emotion.

Becoming an immortal was his greatest pursuit in his nearly two million years of life, and now that he had finally achieved it, Lingbao Tianzun felt a sense of awe.

However, before taking this step, Lingbao Tianzun had already made preparations and began to rediscover the state of mind he had when he quelled the corpse calamity years ago, so he quickly calmed his mind.

At this moment, Lingbao Tianzun possesses the dual Dao Fruits of the Secret Realm System and the Field System. Although he is only a novice in the Mortal World, he is sure to have a bright future.

At this time, Jade Flower Divine Island had become the Earthly Immortal Realm of Emperor Xuanwu. Therefore, the external defensive array was fully opened by Heavenly Venerable Lingbao and handed over to Emperor Xuanwu for management. Only in Biyou Palace was the protective array managed by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.

At the moment Lingbao Tianzun succeeded, the Zhuxian Sword, which was closely linked to him, naturally began to improve under the guidance of this immortal energy, and eventually evolved towards the level of a supreme immortal artifact.

The Zhuxian Sword was originally a set of divine weapons consisting of four killing swords and an array diagram. After Lingbao Tianzun's cultivation improved and he began to explore the Dao of the Field, the Zhuxian Sword Array was reforged by him and thus evolved, completely merging into one.

This immortal sword can now be an incredibly refined weapon of slaughter, representing his achievements in the secret realm system, or it can transform into a primordial Dao diagram, evolving into the field techniques he later acquired.

However, precisely because of this, the foundation of this immortal sword is much deeper than that of a normal immortal artifact. When Lingbao Tianzun lived out his ninth life and became a mortal immortal, if this immortal sword were just a simple immortal sword, it might have evolved directly into a supreme immortal artifact. However, due to its complex form, it could only become close to a supreme immortal artifact in the end, and it still needs further refinement to be completely successful.

However, with Lingbao Tianzun's dual Dao Fruits in the Secret Realm System and the Field System, it wouldn't be difficult for this immortal sword to reach the level of a supreme immortal artifact.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword appeared before the Celestial Venerable Lingbao and said, "Congratulations, Master, on your ascension to immortality in the mortal realm!"

Lingbao Tianzun said, "I owe my current position to your protection. As Wuji said, from here on, we must begin to actively prepare for the future. Old friend, perhaps we will soon embark on another journey." Zhuxian Sword said, "Master, it is a great honor to fight alongside you again."

Lingbao Tianzun nodded slightly, then took the immortal sword into his body and nurtured it with his own dual Dao Fruits and the power of his origin after becoming a Red Dust Immortal, allowing it to move towards becoming a supreme immortal artifact, just one step away.

He then left Biyou Palace.

During Lingbao Tianzun's transformation, Biyou Palace was always shrouded in mysterious energy. Therefore, even within his own Earthly Immortal Realm, Xuanwu Emperor could not sense whether his master, Lingbao Tianzun, had succeeded or what stage he had reached.

Therefore, when he became a mortal immortal, Emperor Xuanwu was completely unaware.

But now that Lingbao Tianzun has left Biyou Palace and has not concealed himself, Xuanwu Emperor naturally sensed Lingbao Tianzun's aura and immediately came to pay his respects.

Although Lingbao Tianzun appeared no different from before, Xuanwu Huang's astonishing spiritual sense still detected a transcendent aura, an aura that did not exist in this world and was even more transcendent than immortal artifacts.

There is only one explanation for the presence of such an aura on a cultivator from the mortal universe.

Emperor Xuanwu immediately asked, "Master, have you successfully become a mortal immortal?"

Lingbao Tianzun said, "Yes, after nearly two million years of self-cultivation, I have finally reached this point."

After Lingbao Tianzun confirmed it himself, Xuanwu Emperor was overjoyed: "Congratulations on your ascension to immortality, Master."

Lingbao Tianzun said, "No need for formalities."

Immediately, he pointed a finger, and a field array diagram appeared, encompassing the Xuanwu Emperor. Under this fluctuation, the Xuanwu Emperor's aura was naturally drawn in, and he began to continuously comprehend and evolve the field techniques within this array diagram, falling into a state of enlightenment.

After becoming a mortal immortal, Lingbao Tianzun's domain Dao fruit became more perfect, showing significant progress compared to before. Therefore, he once again passed on this part of the mystery to Xuanwu Emperor.

After Xuanwu Emperor embarked on the path of Earth Immortal, his cultivation differed greatly from that of Lingbao Tianzun. Therefore, Lingbao Tianzun's teachings to him naturally centered on the method of field.

After all, Xuanwu Emperor had already forged his own path in his own Daoist arts, and Lingbao Tianzun could at most help him fill in the gaps and provide direction for the future.

After Emperor Xuanwu began his cultivation, Lingbao Tianzun also left Yuhua Divine Island and headed towards Wuji Immortal Mountain.

He had just sensed that the newly accomplished Celestial Venerable of Morality was heading towards Mount Wuji, so he also set off for Mount Wuji. Having not seen each other for many years, they should catch up.
