Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 875 Eliminating Objections
The majority of cultivators, whether from the human universe or from other strange worlds, agreed with Liang Yu's proposal and immediately voiced their support.

"We will obey the command of the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

"We have been in this world for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, and there is no room for further progress. It would be good to be able to enter the Immortal Realm."

"Becoming an immortal is our long-cherished wish. Since we cannot become immortals in the mortal world, it would be good to become true immortals."

"Immortality and ascension to immortality are within our grasp; how can we let this opportunity slip by!"

Liang Yu had naturally anticipated this reaction. After all, integrating a world in the Dharma-ending Age into the Immortal Realm, allowing it to escape the Dharma-ending Age and become a true part of the Great World, would be a good choice for everyone, or at least for most people.

Therefore, not only cultivators in the human universe who have long yearned for the Immortal Realm, but also cultivators native to the strange world will feel immense joy because of this.

However, while the vast majority of people expressed their approval, a very small number remained silent, seemingly with some concerns.

Liang Yu continued, "Although the minority should obey the majority, and I should consider my proposal to be passed if the majority agrees, you are all outstanding individuals, and I respect each of you. So if you have any thoughts, please feel free to speak them, and I will handle them accordingly."

A great figure who achieved immortality in the mortal universe and defied the heavens to become a legendary immortal king personally expressed his respect for them, which made many people feel honored and extremely satisfied.

After all, the difference between the approval of a passerby and the approval of the Supreme Celestial Venerable is enormous, even if the Supreme Celestial Venerable is commenting on them from a higher perspective.

Therefore, the remaining few people also stopped hiding their thoughts and began to express them.

Among those who failed to express their agreement, the majority were native supreme beings from the strange world, and they successively voiced their concerns.

"Great Celestial Venerable, if our world is merged with the Immortal Realm, wouldn't that mean our homeland will cease to exist?"

"The merging of the two realms is a major event. We can still manage to remain unaffected, but how will those mortals and low-level cultivators cope?"

"We Supreme Beings are alright, but can the other cultivators really adapt to the environment of the Immortal Realm?"

These problems were naturally within Liang Yu's expectations, so he immediately raised his hand, and the noisy and chaotic sounds disappeared completely.

Liang Yu said, "I anticipated your concerns. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with the environment in the Immortal Realm. All the cultivators in your world can adapt perfectly."

"Moreover, the current leader of the Immortal Realm Fragment is named Gu Tuo, and we reached an agreement a long time ago. If there are any problems, he will cooperate with you."

"As for the other issues you are worried about, when the two worlds merge this time, I will preserve the general shape of your strange world and combine it with that fragment of the Immortal Realm in a pieced-together manner. So everything you are familiar with will not change much, but it will be significantly smaller."

"I will deliberately ensure that these shrunken areas are uninhabited areas in strange worlds."

Upon hearing Liang Yu's promise, these cultivators beamed with joy, setting aside their worries. They then turned to Liang Yu and said, "In that case, we will thank the Great Celestial Venerable on behalf of the countless beings of this strange world." At this point, only a handful of people remained who had not yet expressed their opinions; the others were already filled with joy and envisioning a bright future.

Of the remaining individuals, only two from the human universe have yet to express their opinions: the Primordial Holy Emperor and the Emperor. In addition, there are three Supreme Beings from the Strange Worlds, led by the Lord of the Strange Worlds, making a total of five people.

These five people have one thing in common: they haven't reached their limit in the strange world and still have significant room for growth, while the others, even if they still have room for growth, have almost negligible potential.

Both the Primordial Saint Emperor and the Emperor ascended to heaven after experiencing several rebirths and figuring out their next growth path. Although they could not become immortals in the strange world, they still had some room for improvement.

Other powerful emperors from the human universe, such as the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, the Holy Emperor of Immortality, the Overlord of the Azure Sky, the Immortal Emperor of Kunlun, the Emperor of Strength, the Emperor of Fire, the Emperor of Brightness, and the Emperor of Corpse, ascended too early. They had already reached their limit through the accumulation of the past tens or hundreds of millions of years, and none of them had the possibility of becoming immortals in the mortal world. That is why they looked forward to entering the Immortal Realm and pinned their hopes on becoming immortals.

After all, becoming a true immortal also offers the hope of refining one's Dao fruit to a level comparable to that of a mortal immortal.

As for the three people in the strange world, the Lord of the strange world had already cultivated into a mortal immortal in the original timeline. His potential was already immense, so it was naturally not the time for him to become an immortal yet.

Having clashed with cultivators from all walks of life in the mortal universe, his progress toward becoming a Mortal Immortal has accelerated considerably. Naturally, he is unwilling to give up this supreme Dao Fruit in order to enter the Immortal Realm.

One of the other two is highly likely the prodigy who fought alongside the Great Emperor Wushi in the original timeline and almost became a Mortal Immortal. Although he will most likely be stuck at this stage and fail to succeed, just getting close to becoming a Mortal Immortal is already a performance far superior to most Dao Provers. Therefore, he still has considerable room for growth.

Liang Yu didn't have much of an impression of the last person either, after all, cultivators in this world were just a bunch of extras.

However, according to Liang Yu's guess, he might be the mysterious supreme being who, when the trio ascended to the strange world, not only survived the palm strike with the ruthless emperor who had become a mortal immortal, but was also able to strike a second time, and even had the strength to escape after his body was shattered.

After all, even if the Ruthless Great Emperor did not go all out and only acted casually, the fact that a cultivator in the Dao Realm could survive two moves from the Red Dust Immortal and still escape was already far beyond the strength of an ordinary Dao Proving cultivator. It was at least equivalent to a multi-life Great Emperor.

Therefore, his potential for growth at this stage has not yet disappeared.

After seeing what they had in common, Liang Yu understood their concerns.

Ultimately, their accumulation in the realm of humanity is already very substantial, but they have not yet reached their limit. Only in a strange world that is still in the Dharma-ending Age but has the existence of longevity substances can they continue to progress and even attempt to become mortal immortals.

After all, the laws of the Immortal Realm are too complete and the environment is too good. If they enter that world, they will no longer be able to stay in the human realm to hone their own Dao fruit, and they will only be able to become immortals, which is naturally not the result they expect.

However, if they were to return to the human universe, without the aid of longevity substances, they would not have the time to refine their Dao Fruit to its fullest potential.

Therefore, their hesitation stems more from their desire for greater personal growth.
