Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 873 Arrival in a Strange World
Although Liang Yu explained the significance of the Red Dust Immortal to Gu Tuo and pointed him in the right direction, he did not tell him about the dark power.

Gu Tuo is currently full of passion, eager to forge his own path, create his own legend, and even see his homeland, the Immortal Realm, undergo further restoration, potentially regaining its former glory. However, if he were to learn that he is about to face not a bright future, but rather a bottomless darkness, it might affect his state of mind.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it will probably be some time before he comes into contact with these dark forces, and the earliest he might encounter them is when he explores other fragments of the Immortal Realm. By then, he will probably have already taken steps towards becoming an Immortal King.

Therefore, Gu Tuo would have been grappling with these issues for at least tens or hundreds of millions of years. That's why Liang Yu didn't directly tell him, lest he dampen his enthusiasm.

However, some of the Dao-proving beings in the strange world knew about these things, so it was only after the two worlds merged and Gu Tuo's state of mind stabilized that he was able to learn about this.

By then, he should be able to take everything in stride and continue to improve without affecting his mindset, moving towards a higher level.

After all, Gu Tuo was the last glory of the Immortal Realm, and Liang Yu had full confidence in him.

Seeing that Gu Tuo, who had left, had already begun to call on his friends and gather the young supreme beings from his former organization, and had transformed from a previously suppressed underground force into the new leader of the Immortal Realm Fragment, and had begun to carry out various sweeping reforms to the Immortal Realm, Liang Yu knew that he no longer needed to worry about things here. Gu Tuo and his good brothers were enough to completely break the current stagnation in the Immortal Realm.

This saved Liang Yu a lot of trouble. According to his previous plan, he would have needed to travel back and forth among the various forces in the Immortal Realm Fragment to accept reality and embrace change. Now that Gu Tuo was doing it for him, he was indeed saved a lot of trouble.

However, gathering the Immortal Realm's forces to cooperate with his plan to merge the Strange World with the Immortal Realm fragments was only Liang Yulai's first and main purpose for the Immortal Realm fragments. But he also had another purpose, which was to obtain the Immortal Realm's cultivation system.

Although this system is not as sophisticated or expandable as the secret realm system, it was still created by a group of Immortal Kings who were close to becoming Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and it still has its own unique features.

Liang Yu has now completely transformed his entire existence into an aggregate of dust, which is his foundation and origin. However, on the surface, Liang Yu still replicates his achievements in the Secret Realm Technique through the changes in the dust.

In other words, the sixth secret realm system, composed of the Primordial Chaos Heaven and the Qiankun Creation Tower, was still floating around him at this moment.

Of course, at this time, the Qiankun Creation Tower was Liang Yu's own Taoist evolution and not the real Qiankun Creation Tower, so it could also be renamed Qiankun Creation Heaven.

It was from this state that Liang Yu obtained a method to further improve his system, which was to use his own microcosm to derive the secrets of other systems, thereby supplementing his own Dao.

Previously, he could only evolve the incomplete Chaotic Ancient Law and Secret Realm Law, but now he has obtained a brand new system, which is a huge improvement for him.

If he could perfectly integrate the Immortal Realm system into his own system, then his microscopic transformations could become even more mysterious.

Given Liang Yu's current state, mastering this system wouldn't be difficult. However, elevating it to his current status as a supreme giant wouldn't be so simple; it would require considerable time and practice to achieve.

Therefore, Liang Yu only scratched the surface, ceasing his comprehension after reaching the initial level. After all, he still had other matters to attend to and couldn't devote all his energy to cultivation. Later, Liang Yu specifically targeted the Phoenix Clan, descended from the Undying Emperor, hoping to investigate their true strength. Under Liang Yu's discerning eye, he naturally discovered that this clan was currently neither particularly powerful nor weak in the Immortal Realm.

Although they possessed profound resources and had celestial artifacts to suppress their power, ultimately none of them were able to take the crucial step towards immortality, so they were ultimately unable to change the overall situation.

However, the fact that someone from the Phoenix Clan had sided with Gu Tuo was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise. It's foreseeable that this clan will also experience considerable growth in the years to come.

Therefore, Liang Yu only paid attention to a few things to prevent the Phoenix Clan from being wiped out before the Undying Emperor returned to the Immortal Realm. He himself had no intention of showing himself. Such a glorious appearance and leading the Phoenix Clan to a new future was something that the Undying Emperor himself should do.

Moreover, even if Liang Yu himself does not see them, after the strange world merges with this world, the Fire Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor's son will bring them a little shock to the world and usher in a new era for their race.

At this point, Liang Yu had nothing more to worry about, so he left the Immortal Realm Fragment and returned to the outer realm.

With one step, he traversed the endless void and arrived before the strange world.

This time, Liang Yu did not open the barrier of this world through the Immortal Gate as he had done in the past, that is, enter this world from the place closest to the human universe and the strange world. Instead, he chose another angle and forcibly separated the barrier of this world with powerful force.

In an instant, the void of this strange world shone with boundless light, a dazzling celestial light illuminating all directions, covering the entire world in its radiance.

Because of this unusual movement, the cultivators in the strange world were immediately drawn to it, and they couldn't help but look at the terrifying figure that had torn through the sky and squeezed into this world.

It was a cultivator with a pagoda on his head and two major sixth secret realms faintly emerging and intertwining around him, together with his own five secret realms, forming a complex system.

Without making the slightest movement, the mere release of his aura caused the Great Dao of this strange world to tremble and completely submit to him.

Under this aura, the cultivators of the strange world all felt a terrifying aura that could control the birth and death of the universe in an instant, as if their great world was just a toy to it.

Amidst the unease of these cultivators, Liang Yu revealed his form. Although most cultivators in the strange world did not know who he was, those who had ascended from the human universe and some native cultivators of the strange world recognized his face.

Therefore, upon seeing this colossal, sky-covering shadow, the feeling of constant unease vanished without a trace.

Aside from the strange world natives who only became supreme beings over a million years later, all the other cultivators who reached this level bowed to him and said in unison, "Congratulations to the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuji on becoming an Immortal King."
