Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 925 System
There are four immortal artifacts that the Celestial Venerable of Morality personally refined and used as his core magic weapon, allowing them to continuously evolve: the Taiji Diagram, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, the Vajra Bracelet, and the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Among these four immortal artifacts, the Taiji Diagram is his natal magic weapon and the first immortal artifact he refined. Therefore, this magic weapon is of extraordinary significance to him. Let alone becoming an immortal king, even if he reaches a higher realm, the Moral Celestial Venerable would never give it up.

In addition, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda is the second natal magic weapon of the Moral Celestial Venerable. After attaining enlightenment, the Moral Celestial Venerable felt the gap between his natal magic weapon, which had grown alongside him, and other magic weapons. Therefore, he spent a lot of time and energy exploring the root of this difference and finally forged this pagoda. Although it was forged later, it still possesses some characteristics unique to natal magic weapons, similar to the Taiji Diagram.

Therefore, this Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda naturally has the potential to grow into a Celestial King artifact along with the Moral Celestial Venerable, making it a choice he cannot give up.

As for the remaining two immortal artifacts, the Eight Trigrams Furnace was originally just a magical artifact specially crafted by the Celestial Venerable of Morality to facilitate his own crafting and alchemy. Therefore, the Celestial Venerable of Morality never used it as his innate magical artifact.

In fact, it was precisely because of the Bagua Furnace that the Celestial Venerable of Morality was able to forge the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

Even though it was the second supreme divine weapon forged by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, it was difficult for it to evolve along with the Celestial Venerable of Morality, so the Celestial Venerable of Morality had no choice but to abandon it.

The final Vajra Bracelet was actually forged by the Celestial Venerable of Morality using the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Initially, the Celestial Venerable of Morality hoped to explore ways to fuse and sublimate other materials to a level comparable to celestial gold.

After numerous experiments, he eventually refined a special material called Kun steel, which allowed him to further forge the Vajra Bracelet. Naturally, this magical artifact lacked the characteristics of a natal magical artifact.

Therefore, in the end, it was also abandoned by the Moral God.

Recalling the past, the Celestial Venerable of Morality felt as if memories were shrouding his mind like smoke, causing him to be momentarily lost in them. However, he quickly cleared away these distracting thoughts and began to focus on himself.

Compared to the others, the progress of the Celestial Venerable of Morality is much slower.

Liang Yu started his exploration of the sixth secret realm and his own system from the pinnacle of immortality. Although Yuanshi Tianzun failed to reach this level, he also began his cultivation by surpassing the peak of the mortal immortal realm.

Therefore, their accumulation was much more substantial, and their progress was significantly faster than his, regardless of the stage, so there is no need to elaborate further.

Compared to Lingbao Tianzun, they had similar backgrounds and started from the same point, so they should have been evenly matched.

However, later, Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun jointly developed the prototype of the field method, which caused the cultivation of Daode Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun to no longer be synchronized.

Although Lingbao Tianzun's progress in the Sixth Secret Realm was somewhat slowed down due to his focus on researching the field field, causing him to lag behind Daode Tianzun, this gap was largely eliminated when the Three Pure Ones cultivated together as one.

This led to Lingbao Tianzun's progress being accelerated significantly, allowing him to continue making rapid advancements in his already accomplished field techniques, resulting in his swift progress.

While the Celestial Venerable of Morality had previously studied the Chaotic Ancient Method, it wasn't a suitable cultivation system for him. Under these circumstances, the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, who had already grasped the rudimentary form of the field, naturally progressed extremely rapidly and soon surpassed the Celestial Venerable of Morality.

After all, the Celestial Venerable of Morality had to start from scratch in creating his own system, and his accumulated experience was slightly inferior to that of Liang Yu and the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning. Precisely because of this, Liang Yu, who had the most substantial accumulation, was the first to complete the creation of his own system and thus become a Celestial King. The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning, whose accumulation was closest to that of Liang Yu, naturally made rapid progress as well, only about 30,000 years later than Liang Yu, when he successfully reached the Celestial King level.

Although Lingbao Tianzun had less accumulated experience, he had already developed the prototype of the field early on. Not only was his direction clear, but he also had some basic knowledge, so his progress was extremely fast. He became a Celestial King about 60,000 years later than Liang Yu.

Because he lacked these superior conditions, the Celestial Venerable of Morality made the slowest progress, reaching the level of becoming a Celestial King a full 150,000 years later than Liang Yu.

For cultivators at the Immortal King level, tens of thousands of years is but a fleeting moment, utterly insignificant.

After all, cultivators at the Immortal King level can even create their own vast world containing longevity substances, allowing beings within it to become immortals. They are cultivators who can truly change the environment and are almost eternal.

However, among them, this time interval is not short. After all, Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun, who have cultivated for a shorter period of time, are only less than two million years old since their birth, and tens of thousands of years is already a long time in their lives.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality was naturally well aware of this. As the first of the four to debut, yet the last to become a Celestial King, he should have felt some frustration and anxiety. However, the Celestial Venerable of Morality's Dao heart remained clear and pure, undisturbed by external things, demonstrating the steadfastness of his Dao heart.

However, at the moment of true success, the Moral Celestial would still unconsciously feel a touch of joy.

In his past years of cultivation, the Celestial Venerable of Morality initially relied on his exploration of the Sixth Secret Realm and his deduction of the Chaotic Ancient Law as a foundation, hoping to find the most suitable direction for himself and thus develop his own system.

After hundreds of thousands of years, the Supreme Lord of Morality finally created his own system of cultivation.

Like the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Moral Celestial Venerable also developed his own system from his sixth secret realm.

The second form of the sixth secret realm of the Moral Celestial Venerable is a golden elixir of the Great Dao. It was this form that inspired the Moral Celestial Venerable, allowing him to continuously evolve it and eventually create his own system.

This system is actually somewhat similar to that of Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun. They all start with themselves, simultaneously cultivating the body, qi, and soul, and finally, upon reaching perfection, they integrate and sublimate all their essence, qi, and spirit to generate a primordial primordial qi.

After that, this primordial Qi began to continuously generate various supernatural powers and transformations, eventually condensing into a Great Dao Golden Core, containing immeasurable supernatural powers and endless Dao mysteries. This stage corresponds to the transition from Quasi-Emperor to Dao Attainment. The Great Dao Golden Core becomes increasingly perfect, and its achievements in the realm of humanity become higher.

Then, an unparalleled divine embryo is conceived within the Great Dao Golden Core, thus transcending the barrier between immortals and mortals and entering the realm of immortals.

The ultimate goal, which is to reach the realm that the Celestial Venerable of Morality is about to attain, namely the Immortal King, is to perfect the divine embryo within the Golden Elixir of the Great Dao, transforming it into the Primordial Spirit of the Great Dao, which is the core of all one's Dao fruits and origins.
