Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 878 Prehistoric Creatures
Although Liang Yu traveled back and forth between the three worlds, his strength was so great that this journey did not waste much of his time. At this time, the Dao Emperor was still in power in the human universe, and he was in his fourth incarnation.

After becoming a Celestial King, Liang Yu naturally lost interest in the petty squabbles in the human universe. His remaining goal was to reshape the future of the human universe and resolve any remaining problems.

In addition, there is the matter of properly arranging the immortal artifacts and elixirs of immortality that he has prepared to transform into human form, so that they can become a useful new force.

However, Wuji Daoist can help him solve these problems. He only needs to leave behind the methods and conditions that will allow it to take human form, without him having to worry about it himself.

So Liang Yu no longer hesitated and said, "You should cultivate diligently and strive to reach the pinnacle as soon as possible and embark on the path to immortality."

The five immediately said, "Thank you for your trouble, Great Heavenly Venerable."

Seeing that these people had accepted the status quo and were even starting to rub their hands together, preparing to use their cultivation experience and the laws of heaven and earth to further improve themselves, Liang Yu stopped paying attention to them, left them with Wuji Daoist, and then turned and left Wuji Immortal Mountain.

For Liang Yu now, he can see the entire situation of the human universe with just a thought. There are still a few minor problems in the human universe that need to be solved, and that's what he's doing.

His first stop was naturally the path to immortality on Flying Immortal Star.

Among the paths to immortality in the mortal universe, the one on Flying Immortal Star is the most genuine and has the lowest entry barrier. In the post-ancient era of later generations, this path to immortality will reopen, successfully allowing Ye Fan's wife and daughter to ascend to the Immortal Realm, along with Shakyamuni and Lao Tzu.

Without a doubt, the fixed quota of two or three people is something that other paths to immortality do not have at all.

The origin of this path to immortality is that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, who achieved the physical body of an Immortal King, broke through the world barrier from this place and entered the Immortal Realm, leaving behind the path to immortality. Therefore, this path to immortality is truly connected to the Immortal Realm, and those who seek the Dao do not need to forcibly open it with their own strength to enter directly.

However, since Liang Yu attained enlightenment, this path to immortality has never been opened.

Liang Yu came here because a prehistoric creature was sealed on this path to immortality. Liang Yu hadn't thought much about it before, since this path to immortality had been stagnant. He had set his sights on the strange world because he was determined to become a mortal immortal and to pave the way for cultivators in the human universe.

However, it's time to get rid of this prehistoric creature.

With a mere thought, Liang Yu arrived before the path to immortality on Flying Immortal Star. With a light tap of his finger, he tore open the void, revealing a path to immortality.

However, countless runes are intertwined within it, gathered together by a Great Dao mark, and suppressed here, exuding an aura of vicissitudes, as if it has gone through endless years, but is always eternal and immortal.

The aura of this Great Dao mark is similar to that of the Desolate Tower, clearly left behind by the mysterious Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Liang Yu had long controlled the Desolate Tower, so he was not entirely unfamiliar with the sealing technique and the laws within it. In addition, he now possessed the powerful strength of a Celestial King, so he was able to completely peel off the seal and put it away.

After the seal was removed, a deafening roar was heard, but thanks to Liang Yu's methods, it did not reach the outside world, and even the cultivators on Flying Immortal Star did not notice this change.

After the core seal disappeared, the runes became like trees without roots, without support, and were completely shattered by the struggle of the life within them.

A tattered mountain of flesh flew out, encased in a layer of old skin that was about to completely peel off, and its surface was covered with a crystalline substance resembling immortal essence that was constantly splashing due to the impact.

Clearly, this was the method by which the Desolate Heavenly Emperor sealed this mysterious creature. Immediately afterward, an intense heat that almost melted the void emanated, and a Vermilion Bird's head emerged from within the mountain of flesh, bringing with it a sky full of flames, its gaze extremely ferocious.

Afterwards, as the mountain of flesh completely shattered, its entire body was revealed.

This is a peculiar creature with the head of a Vermilion Bird, a body similar to a wolf, but covered in red scales and a dragon's tail. Its ferocious aura is palpable.

"I want to become an immortal! Hehehe..."

"No, I didn't lay a hand on you, why are you stopping me!"

"I hate it! The path to immortality is right before my eyes, yet I can't reach it..."

The prehistoric creature let out bursts of maniacal laughter, then turned to weeping bitterly, its mental state clearly worrying.

Liang Yu knew that he had been sealed here because he harbored ill intentions towards the Desolate Emperor who opened the path to immortality. He could only watch helplessly, but could never touch him.

Over these long years, he had clearly gone somewhat mad. Therefore, the moment he was freed, he only hesitated for a moment before unleashing all his strength to try and break through the path to immortality, even disregarding Liang Yu beside him.

But the prehistoric creature soon discovered that no matter what it did, it could not get close to the path to immortality, and all its previous efforts were in vain.

In this abnormal state, he finally regained some of his sanity and began to observe his surroundings. He then discovered that he had been constantly being manipulated in the palm of the mysterious person who had appeared before him, which filled him with genuine fear.

The moment the prehistoric creature broke free, he was captured by Liang Yu using a palm-sized world technique.

With just a thought from Liang Yu, the prehistoric creature realized that its primordial spirit had been pulled out of its body, and the memories it retained turned into images that appeared in the void.

Although his primordial spirit and memories were greatly damaged due to the years he was sealed, the process of how he was sealed on the path to immortality is still very clear.

Thus, Liang Yu saw the figure of the Desolate Emperor again in his memory. He had already seen the true face of the Desolate Emperor in Zhang Bairen's memory, and this time, with the comparison, Liang Yu's appearance and aura became even clearer.

The combination of these two memories subtly began to produce some changes, which aroused a sense of anticipation in Liang Yu, after all, this might be some kind of method left behind by the Desolate Emperor.

However, because the process was too slow, Liang Yu did not continue to pay attention to it, but instead turned his attention back to the prehistoric creature.

After witnessing Liang Yu's methods, the prehistoric creature immediately became much more sober and even began to tremble.

Liang Yu said, "Now that things have come to this, I'll grant you release. But I'm a good person, so I'll let you see the true immortal realm before you die."

As he spoke, the closed path to immortality was immediately opened, and the prehistoric creature entered the immortal realm through the entrance before completely disintegrating and disappearing without a trace.
