Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 888 Approaching the Immortal Realm

In the human universe, countless cultivators vaguely felt an unusual sense of oppression coming from beyond the heavens, but they basically did not know why, and could only guess that something had happened in the human universe.

After all, the last similar fluctuation was 30,000 years ago, and since then, the human universe has undergone a rapid evolution. So perhaps a similar change is happening now.

In this way, the state of the human universe will likely only get better and better, and perhaps every future life will be far more glorious than the past.

Of course, there are a very few people in the human universe who understand the truth behind this fluctuation. Those such as the Earth Immortals, Dao Emperors, and the Sui Emperor and Taichu Saint Emperor who are currently cultivating in Wuji Immortal Mountain all understand that this fluctuation must be caused by the birth of another Immortal King.

There are not many cultivators in the human universe who can be compared with the Wuji Heavenly Venerable. When the first peak of this era, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, was still in the process of Nirvana and had not yet become a Red Dust Immortal, the only ones who could challenge the Immortal King were naturally those few Red Dust Immortals from the mythological era.

Aside from Wuji Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun could all be this person.

After all, although Yuanshi Tianzun was the most outstanding among the three, he was the youngest, and the other two still had the advantage of starting first, so they dared not make a conclusion for the time being.

The emperor was full of expectations for this result. He naturally hoped that this was the result of his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, becoming a Celestial King. However, even if he was very confident, he dared not draw a conclusion.

So he mustered his courage and asked Daoist Wuji, "Senior Wuji, may I ask which Celestial Venerable has become the Immortal King this time?"

The Daoist Wuji smiled slightly and said, "You should have guessed it by now, right? That's right, it's your master, Yuanshi Tianzun."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was immediately relieved, but a sense of urgency also crept in. His master had now become a Celestial King, while he himself had not yet reached his limit in the realm of humanity. If his progress disappointed his master, that would be...

So the emperor began to meditate and adjust his state, waiting for the moment when the Primordial Celestial Venerable would give back to the human universe. If he could gain enlightenment from this process, he should be able to greatly shorten the time it would take for him to become an immortal.

After learning that the Immortal King was Yuanshi Tianzun, the other cultivators in Wuji Immortal Mountain also began to prepare to receive Yuanshi Tianzun's return favor, just like the emperor.

In the Immortal Realm, the aura of the Primordial Celestial Venerable becoming an Immortal King remains a major event, causing countless people to want to glimpse some of the mysteries of the Immortal King.

The Immortal Realm has become even more complete thanks to Liang Yu's further restoration and the integration of otherworldly realms, elevating its already superior environment to a new level. As a result, the number of True Immortals that can be accommodated within the fragments of the Immortal Realm has significantly increased.

Moreover, Liang Yu left all the methods for evolving the Immortal Realm obtained from the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, as well as the methods for evolving the Immortal Realm he summarized from the evolution of the strange world, within the laws of heaven and earth of the Immortal Realm.

Once one becomes a true immortal, one can rely on their own power to further evolve and repair the immortal realm, making this world stronger and stronger.

The former Immortal Realm was actually formed through the continuous evolution of a group of Immortal Kings, merging with countless universes, thus becoming so glorious.

Although the current Immortal Realm does not have those conditions, it has clearly begun a new snowballing process.

The more True Immortals are born in the Immortal Realm at this time, the more perfect the Immortal Realm itself will become, the more profound its laws will be, and the more True Immortals it can accommodate. Furthermore, the process of evolving the Immortal Realm also significantly promotes the cultivation and spiritual progress of these True Immortals. Under such a virtuous cycle, the resurgence of the Immortal Realm is no longer a problem.

Although this trend has not yet been fully exposed, it is already beginning to emerge.

Many native Supreme beings in the Immortal Realm were no longer restricted from becoming immortals due to this series of changes, while the native Supreme beings in the Strange World were mostly veteran Supreme beings who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, but were unable to become immortals due to the environment of heaven and earth.

Those who ascended from the human universe to attain immortality were even more extraordinary. They had been tempered in the most arduous environments and already possessed superhuman achievements. Furthermore, they had accumulated over many years in strange worlds, so their path to immortality was naturally unobstructed.

Therefore, over the past tens of thousands of years, the number of True Immortals in the Immortal Realm Fragments has increased from just Gu Tuo to dozens.

They exchanged ideas, made progress together, and cooperated to make the Immortal Realm more prosperous, creating a vibrant world where everything flourished.

Therefore, it was relatively easy for them to perceive that Yuanshi Tianzun had become a Celestial King.

Among the cultivators from the mortal universe, some had personally witnessed the Primordial Celestial Venerable, such as the Corpse Emperor; some were disciples of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, such as the Battle Emperor Chuan Ying; and many others had received the Primordial Celestial Venerable's inheritance, such as the Undying Holy Emperor, the Azure Heaven Overlord Emperor, and the Life Profound Celestial Venerable. Therefore, they could naturally recognize that the one who had transcended tribulation to become a Celestial King was the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Upon witnessing the birth of yet another Celestial King of their own side, although they yearned for it, they quickly put aside their admiration and began their own cultivation.

As Gu Tuo sensed the powerful aura from beyond the heavens, even greater ambitions arose in his heart.

After becoming a Celestial King, Yuanshi Tianzun turned his attention to the Celestial Realm. He then suppressed his urge to give back to the human universe and came to the interior of the Celestial Realm.

After experiencing the extraordinary nature of this world up close, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The Immortal Realm is truly a magnificent world. It is most suitable to use this realm as a springboard for cultivators in my mortal universe to enter the realm of immortality and reach all the heavens and myriad worlds."

Then, he sensed two methods left by Liang Yu for repairing and evolving the Immortal Realm from the laws of the Immortal Realm, and then said: "That's right, with such methods, this world will only become stronger and stronger, forming a virtuous cycle."

"It seems that Wuji's concept for this part is already very complete, and I can't find any fault with it."

With this in mind, the Primordial Celestial Venerable simply used his great supernatural powers to help this fragment of the immortal realm evolve further, and then ceased to interfere with its internal changes.

He wandered through the Immortal Realm and eventually met only the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, the Holy Emperor of Immortality, the Overlord of the Azure Sky, the War Emperor Chuanying, the Corpse Emperor, and others. He guided them, who had already become True Immortals, to take a further step towards becoming the strongest True Immortals comparable to the Immortals of the Mortal World.

Among these people, the War Emperor is his disciple, the Annihilation Heavenly Venerable is one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables, the Undying Saint Emperor and the Azure Heaven Overlord Emperor received his inheritance and the Harmony Flower, and the Corpse Emperor was related to the Underworld, and he also helped him shatter the Reincarnation Seal and transform. In short, they are all people with deep karmic ties to him.

After completing these tasks, Yuanshi Tianzun quietly left the Immortal Realm Fragment.
