Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 871 Communication
Gu Tuo's performance was clearly to Liang Yu's liking. His ability to defeat three veteran True Immortals in a short time after entering the True Immortal realm demonstrated his exceptional talent.

Although he failed to progress further in the realm of humanity and ultimately became an immortal, his accumulated knowledge and skills in this area surpassed those of most Dao-proving individuals in the mortal universe. This is why he possessed extraordinary combat power upon becoming a true immortal.

Gu Tuo's existence is also of great significance to Liang Yu. Now that he has become a True Immortal, he will inevitably have to explore how to continuously hone himself in the realm of True Immortals to reach a perfect state and ultimately become the strongest True Immortal. This process can provide an excellent model for many Dao-proving practitioners in the human universe.

Although Gu Tuo had the upper hand, the three True Immortals did not surrender easily. Instead, they broke away from their previous individual battles and began to cooperate, using combined attacks to deal with Gu Tuo.

For millions of years, the three of them had been constantly fighting each other, but they had always joined forces to prevent future generations from becoming immortals. Therefore, they had a deep understanding of each other. So, even though this was the first time they had used this combined attack technique, they were still incredibly skilled.

In this situation, Gu Tuo was once again plunged into a fierce battle. However, during this process, Gu Tuo continuously used the power of these three True Immortals to hone his own Dao Fruit, completely mastering his own power, and ultimately directly broke through their combined attack technique, achieving victory.

Gu Tuo showed no mercy and killed all three of them.

Regardless of the Immortal King's purpose, as long as these three are dead, and no one obstructs their path in this fragment of the Immortal Realm, there will always be a new future.

After the battle, Liang Yu released Gu Tuo.

Before Gu Tuo could even recover from his injuries, he cupped his hands to Liang Yu and said, "Senior, thank you."

Liang Yu said, "This is your own ability, why thank me?"

Gu Tuo sighed, "If it weren't for you, senior, prompting them to confront me head-on, they could have wielded immense power in the Immortal Realm. Killing them would not have been so easy for me."

Liang Yu said, "Compared to the three of them, I do have more faith in you."

Gu Tuo then asked, "May I ask how you are addressed, senior?"

Liang Yu said, "My title in the lower realm is Wuji Tianzun. You can call me Da Tianzun, just like everyone else."

Gu Tuo cupped his hands and said, "Great Celestial Venerable, what are your plans for this Immortal Realm?"

Liang Yu said, "There are two worlds that are most similar to this fragment of the Immortal Realm. One is called the Strange World, which was created by a few great supernatural beings and was used as material to repair the Immortal Realm. But for some reason, this world eventually became independent."

"Therefore, there are substances that promote longevity in this world, but it is still in the Dharma-ending Age."

"My plan is to merge this strange world with the fragments of the Immortal Realm, so that these two worlds can be more complete."

"The next step is to repair and expand the Immortal Realm, and even find other fragments of the Immortal Realm to integrate into this world."

"However, I will not interfere in these matters. I will let the people of your two worlds handle them themselves. Now that you have become the only True Immortal in this fragment of the Immortal Realm, you are the representative here. You will organize the Immortal Realm cultivators and the cultivators of the strange world to make contact and cooperate to accomplish this task."

Upon hearing this, Gu Tuo felt a sense of relief. Although his intuition told him that this Immortal King named Wuji Tianzun was unlikely to harbor any ill intentions, he still harbored some lingering concerns until he was certain. After all, the difference in strength was too vast; whatever the other party intended to do, he would be powerless to stop him. Now, having received the plan personally stated by him, Gu Tuo was certain that his intuition was correct, and a bright future for the Immortal Realm was about to arrive.

Once he relaxed, Gu Tuo immediately asked, "Could the Great Celestial Venerable have originated from this world?"

If it could merge with the Immortal Realm, even if this strange world was in the Dharma-ending Age, it could ascend on the spot, directly transforming into a more complete great world. Not only would it possess the power of immortality, but it could also become an immortal. Not to mention, according to him, this world was used to repair the Immortal Realm, so the merging of the two worlds would only be better.

With such a deep concern for the world, Gu Tuo naturally considers this his hometown.

Liang Yu said, "No, I come from another world that is very close to both the Strange World and the Immortal Realm, the Human Universe. Or, your Immortal Realm may be more familiar with other names, such as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, or the Primordial Ancient Realm."

Upon hearing these names, Gu Tuo couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed. After all, judging from previous records, the relationship between the Immortal Realm and this world wasn't exactly good; it was more about sharing a common enemy.

The other party came from this world, yet he didn't have much prejudice against the Immortal Realm; moreover, this world was one that was severely damaged, and the fact that this Immortal King could rise to prominence in such an environment made Gu Tuo feel awe.

Gu Tuo asked, "I wonder how the Great Celestial Venerable intends to arrange the human universe?"

The Strange World and the Fragments of the Immortal Realm have nothing to do with this Limitless Celestial Venerable, but he can still help them become better. What about his own homeland?

Liang Yu said, "Regarding the human universe, I plan to discuss it with my fellow Daoists before making a decision. There is no conclusion yet."

Upon hearing this, Gu Tuo was startled and asked, "The other fellow Daoists? Could it be that more than one Immortal King has emerged from the Great Celestial Venerable's homeland?"

Liang Yu said, "I have three fellow Daoists who are planning to break through to the Immortal King realm. They may succeed in tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years."

Upon hearing this news, Gu Tuo was stunned. A Celestial King! This was a supreme figure who had already become a legend in the Celestial Realm, yet more than one had emerged from the lower realm. This made Gu Tuo feel that his worldview had been overturned.

He couldn't help but wonder if the Great Dao of that world was special, making it easier for people to break through to the Immortal King realm.

Liang Yu noticed his shock and immediately said, "Before you became an immortal, you were a supreme being of the highest realm, and you even underwent a transformation. You should be very clear about the enhancement that this method brings to you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tuo finally came to his senses. He recalled the unexpected transformation that had occurred to him in the past, and couldn't help but think of something extremely terrifying.

He hesitated, "Could it be that the supreme beings of the mortal universe can undergo multiple transformations in various ways, ultimately defying the heavens to become immortals, thus obtaining extraordinary Dao fruits? If so, then it seems not impossible for them to become Immortal Kings..."

Liang Yu said, “You are very insightful. Indeed, you guessed correctly. In the context of the Dharma-ending Age, cultivators in the human universe can undergo transformations time and time again, eventually achieving immortality in the mortal realm and becoming mortal immortals who surpass even true immortals. My fellow Daoists and I are all like that.”
