Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 892 The Road to the Future
Yuanshi Tianzun had always had a very complicated mindset towards this Wuji Tianzun. He respected his achievements and merits, and in his years of cultivation, he had actually come to admire Liang Yu wholeheartedly.

However, due to his proud and arrogant nature, he inevitably felt resentful when he was under pressure and wanted to do his best to surpass him.

But regardless of how one tries to replicate the attitude, Yuanshi Tianzun still has great faith in the judgment of this Great Celestial Venerable.

Since Liang Yu felt that their current strength was insufficient, Yuanshi Tianzun would naturally believe him.

However, the Primordial Celestial Venerable couldn't help but feel curious about this. After all, they were already at the late stage of the Immortal King realm, and if even they couldn't deal with it, could it be an even higher realm?

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if that dark power involves power beyond the realm of Immortal Kings?"

Liang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi guessed correctly; they are indeed involved with a higher level of power."

After receiving confirmation, Yuanshi Tianzun asked again with curiosity, "Then how do we reach that level?"

Liang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi has already created his own system. He should have a good idea of ​​what path he will take in the future, right?"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to your encouragement, Fellow Daoist Wuji, I was not satisfied with opening up the sixth secret realm, but continued to create a brand new system that suits me."

"Based on my current experience, the next step is naturally to try to make my system more complete and evolve it to its fullest potential, thereby driving my continuous growth."

"Could this be the method to reach a realm beyond the Immortal King?"

Liang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, creating your own system and constantly improving it is the way to break through to the Immortal King level and even reach a higher level."

"The realm above Immortal King is called Quasi-Immortal Emperor. To reach this realm, one only needs to develop a completely new variation of the Sixth Secret Realm, perhaps by integrating it into oneself, or perhaps by opening up a new Secret Realm. In short, as long as the Secret Realm system is pushed to the next step, it is possible to reach this realm."

"But simply following in others' footsteps will only get you to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. To reach a higher level, you need to develop your own cultivation system and become a Dao Ancestor."

“Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you only need to continue to improve your own cultivation system and eventually bring it to its peak, then you can surpass the Immortal King and reach a higher level.”

After hearing about the differences between the Dao Ancestor and the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, as well as his direction of progress, even though Yuanshi Tianzun had already become an Immortal King, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, and it took him some time to fully digest and absorb this information.

Liang Yu knew too much about these things, and he even subtly guided Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun to follow the same path and gain greater potential, which made Yuanshi Tianzun suspicious.

Liang Yu ignored Yuanshi Tianzun and continued, "The Desolate Heavenly Emperor was the founder of the Secret Realm system; in other words, he was the Dao Ancestor of this system. Later, he further evolved this system to its extreme, reaching an even more profound realm." "For such a powerful being, completely restoring the human universe to its former state of a complete great world was effortless. He even pioneered the subsequent stages of the Secret Realm system, such as the Sixth Secret Realm and the routes beyond, making its dissemination effortless."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but say, "Since this Desolate Emperor has reached such a profound realm, why does he consider the human universe to be in a state of decline, even weakening further, and even leaving behind no method for the Sixth Secret Realm, causing countless cultivators to be limited to the Human Realm, at most reaching the Mortal Immortal realm?"

Liang Yu said, "Because he is using his hometown as a training ground. Those who can become immortals in the Dharma-ending Age, where there are no substances for immortality, are basically immortals in the mortal world. They can have the highest starting point in the field of immortality, and their potential is unimaginable."

"After becoming a Red Dust Immortal, if someone can open up a sixth secret realm based on the five secret realms and become an Immortal King, it means that they have the potential to create their own cultivation system. It may not be impossible for them to create their own cultivation system in the future and push it to its limit."

"Only such a person is the kind of person that the Desolate Emperor hopes to wait for, someone who might be able to help him."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun also fell into deep thought. However, he soon came to believe Liang Yu's explanation.

Regardless of the true reasons behind the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's actions, it was foreseeable that he would use the environment of the human universe to foster immortals in the mortal realm and use incomplete secret realm methods to cultivate the ability to develop a cultivation system.

But where did this Boundless Celestial Venerable obtain so many secrets from? These things are probably known only to a very few people in the myriad worlds beyond the Immortal Realm. How could a cultivator who has only been to the mortal universe, strange worlds, and fragments of the Immortal Realm know these things?

Recalling the past, the Great Celestial Venerable Wuji was extremely confident and systematic in his exploration of the mortal immortal path. The Primordial Celestial Venerable always felt that the Great Celestial Venerable Wuji was not a normal cultivator, but rather a great supernatural being who had come to start anew.

Only in this way can we explain why he began paving his path to immortality in the mortal world so early on, even knowing the direction to take after the secret realm's path was severed, and guiding them onto the right path as well. Along this journey, his cultivation was too systematic; he had his own expectations for every step.

Liang Yu could easily connect the dots regarding Yuanshi Tianzun's doubts and speculations. If he were Yuanshi Tianzun, he would also have doubts about himself.

However, Liang Yu simply said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, after becoming a Celestial King, you should be able to feel your influence on the River of Time, right? I once met the gaze of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor across the River of Time before he became a Celestial King, and even received some of his legacy, so..."

Yuanshi Tianzun interrupted Liang Yu and said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, there's no need to explain. I believe your words and I also believe that you will not pose a threat to the human world, the universe, or us. We are already fellow Daoists sharing the same boat, so there's no need to explain these things."

"I never expected that this legendary Desolate Emperor would be so powerful, which makes me yearn for him and want to catch up with him."

Yuanshi Tianzun knew that Liang Yu had a secret, and he was also very curious about it. However, no matter how close their relationship was, they still had their own reservations. Therefore, he did not intend to pry into Liang Yu's secrets, but was curious about the Desolate Emperor who created the current state of the human universe.
