I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The myriad forms of the mortal world unfolded within the two cosmic towers.

The Shrouding Heaven Universe was already depleted of much of its matter. The vast majority of its area was covered by the Divine Scar Purple-Gold Tower. The universe's Great Daos and laws could hardly affect the living beings within the tower. Even Heavenly Tribulations were unable to descend.

The loss of Heavenly Tribulations had both advantages and disadvantages. Cultivators no longer needed to worry about dying and having their Dao extinguished under powerful lightning tribulations, but they also lost the assistance of Heavenly Tribulations and the rewards of the Great Dao laws upon successfully overcoming them.

Luo Mo returned from the Boundary Tomb, leaving the World Tree to continue devouring the matter within the Boundary Tomb to grow.

The Boundary Tomb was formed by the stacking of broken ancient realms, possessing an astonishing volume. Even with the World Tree's good appetite, it was impossible to devour it completely in a short time. This was a slow process.

Currently, the World Tree bore more and more planetary fruits and sub-dimensional fruits. The originally well-managed sub-dimensions and planets were providing vast amounts of faith power at every moment. The newly formed planets also held great promise for the future. However, due to the World Tree's immense size, there was currently no way to accelerate its overall time. They could only slowly migrate populations and allow the will of the respective planets to nurture them.

Outside the Divine Scar Purple-Gold Tower in the Shrouding Heaven Universe, a solitary palace orbited the tip of the giant tower, like a planet orbiting a star.

Luo Mo left the Boundary Tomb and returned to the Shrouding Heaven Universe, but he did not enter the cosmic tower. Instead, he entered his own Origin Heaven Palace.

Within the Origin Heaven Palace, outsiders were not allowed. Usually, there was a guardian sacred beast, the Golden Lightning Tiger. It had been captured by Luo Mo to guard the gate when it was still a king-level ferocious beast. It dozed off at the entrance every day, and with the help of the pills casually rewarded by Luo Mo, it had cultivated to the Demon Saint realm.

However, it was no longer there now, because the current Origin Heaven Palace no longer needed guards. The cultivation levels of the people living here were much stronger than its own.

Moreover, the entire Shrouding Heaven Universe was enveloped by two mirrored cosmic towers. Where else outside the towers could living beings be found? They could only be found on the World Tree that had sunk into the Chaos. And on the World Tree, the living beings in those life planets and sub-dimensions were constrained by the will of Heaven within and blocked by the Chaos outside. It was impossible for them to escape the World Tree's control. Currently, Luo Mo had not even allowed travel between the planets on the World Tree.

Therefore, there was no need for the Golden Lightning Tiger to guard the gate. It had now gone to the Divine Scar Purple-Gold Tower, where it served as the guardian sacred beast of the Origin Heaven Sect on Ziwei Star, considered a mascot.

The heavenly palace was surrounded by Chaos and supported by purple energy. As soon as Luo Mo returned here, he alarmed several beautiful figures, who came out to greet him one after another.

Xia Jiuyou hesitated to welcome him, her feelings a mix of joy and resentment. "You've been gone for twenty-nine years. Have you cultivated into an immortal?"

Yao Xi stepped forward and smiled, "Someone has been waiting so long that they've turned into a W望夫石 (Waiting-for-Husband Rock), often not cultivating and waiting outside."

"I didn't. And the person who doesn't cultivate is clearly you," Xia Jiuyou retorted.

Among the four sisters, the one with the shortest cultivation time was definitely Yao Xi. The Myriad Transformation True Blood passively added cultivation experience. Her cultivation was approaching Luo Mo's whether she was walking, sitting, or lying down. The speed of her cultivation improvement without cultivation required others to chase after her with all their might.

Compared to the cold and desolate Boundary Tomb, the feeling of coming home was naturally warm.

Yao Xi and Xia Jiuyou liked to bicker. Gu Manlu and Wei Wei were more gentle in nature.

"You've returned from the Boundary Tomb. Have you achieved success in your cultivation?" Gu Manlu asked.

"It should be said that I've encountered a bottleneck."

Luo Mo thought about the demand for Pure Yang Pills in the Realm King realm and planned to do something big to obtain enough Pure Yang Pills.

"A bottleneck?"

Wei Wei was a little surprised.

After all, from the beginning of Luo Mo's cultivation, where had there been such a thing as a bottleneck? He broke through levels all the way without stopping, his cultivation changing with each passing day. He only spent fifty years to prove the Dao, and he was still a dual Dao fruit of Origin Arts and the Human Body Mystic Realm method.

Even now, Luo Mo's cultivation time was only over eighty years. For a cultivator like him, he was very young. Ordinary ancient emperors could live for at least twenty thousand years.

Only when counting the time acceleration would Luo Mo's age be a little older, but compared to his five million years of lifespan, it was nothing.

Wei Wei whispered, "There's actually a bottleneck. I always felt that this word was very far away from you."

"A bottleneck is not a problem. I've already thought of a solution, and I just need to verify it a little," Luo Mo said confidently.

Naturally, there was a way. From the beginning of his cultivation until now, the Eternal Life Method lacked all kinds of conditions. Luo Mo had to create conditions even if there were no conditions to cultivate, overcoming all kinds of difficulties.

No gate to the Immortal Realm? Create one myself.

No Pure Yang Pills? Still create them myself.

The Holy Spirit Yao Yao was also approaching the day of her birth. Originally, she would have to wait many more years, but Luo Mo's cultivation had reached the peak, and the Sun-Moon Imperial Dynasty was prosperous, so they could find all kinds of treasures that were beneficial to the Holy Spirit, accelerating her growth.

As for the time acceleration of the blessed land, Luo Mo did not use it on Yao Yao, because she was a Holy Spirit born from heaven and earth and needed to resonate with the outside world of the Shrouding Heaven Universe. It was better to let her stay in a place close to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Luo Mo took out some divine objects, all treasures found in the broken ancient realms within the Boundary Tomb, essences of heaven and earth, and refined them into Yao Yao's stone fetus to help her complete her final perfect cultivation.

She was already infinitely close to perfection. It could be said that she could be born at any time, but she was trying her best to perfect her Dao and Dharma, wanting to obtain even more powerful cultivation.

There were also many other specialties. The Boundary Tomb was a huge treasure trove.

Or rather, every broken ancient realm within the Boundary Tomb contained many treasures that were difficult to fully excavate, but Luo Mo did not excavate them. He directly devoured them. If they were useful, he would keep them. All the other things were devoured by the World Tree, not wasting a single bit of value.

After giving gifts to Gu Manlu, Yao Xi, Wei Wei, and Xia Jiuyou, Luo Mo spoke about what he had seen and heard in the Boundary Tomb.

Having just come out of the Boundary Tomb, he should also relax and not immediately busy himself with breaking through the Realm King realm.

There were not many interesting things in the Boundary Tomb. After all, there were few living things. Those that could move were basically undead. Before their death, they found a treasured cave to sleep in, and after millions of years, they turned into Yin spirits. However, he did not see any large-scale undead again.

Last time, it was because of the Death Immortal Seed that there was a continent of death with countless undead.

Each of those broken ancient realms within the Boundary Tomb had some traces of ancient times left behind. Luo Mo had cultivated to the Heavenly Position realm and could perform deductions, recreating some of the ancient customs and showing them to his loved ones, allowing them to see some of the ancient scenery and culture.

This was not something that could be finished in a short time. Fortunately, they had plenty of time, living in the Origin Heaven Palace outside the cosmic tower, undisturbed, and could talk for as long as they wanted.

Luo Mo also demonstrated the Bone Text method: Blood Moving, Cave Heaven, Spiritual Transformation, Inscription, Array Formation, Venerable, Divine Fire, True One, Holy Sacrifice, Heavenly God, Void Dao, Self-Severing, Escape One, Supreme.

He analyzed these realms one by one for them, explaining them in conjunction with the Human Body Mystic Realm method. Yao Yao also listened carefully in her stone fetus. The methods of the previous epoch were very inspiring to them. After all, the Human Body Mystic Realm method of this epoch was evolved from the methods of the previous epoch.

Especially by following Luo Mo's analysis, they understood how the Human Body Mystic Realm method was transformed. Some traces of the Kun Peng method, the Willow God method, and other precious techniques were also deduced by Luo Mo, directly pointing to the origin of the mystic realm.

With the cultivation methods, Luo Mo spoke of the ancient traces and cultural relics within the Boundary Tomb, and they could understand them much more easily.

These leisurely days passed for several months. Luo Mo was preparing to break through his current realm. To break through to the Realm King realm, he would need a massive amount of Pure Yang Pills.

Currently, even with his four Pure Yang mines, it was far from enough. Although the Pure Yang mines produced a decent amount, the time required was too long, and he never wanted to wait too long due to a lack of resources.

Either he could simply not cultivate and wait for other methods to advance rapidly, taking the Eternal Life method to the Immortal Realm at a high level.

Or, he could do something big!

"Are you going to cultivate again?" Xia Jiuyou asked, somewhat reluctantly. "How long will it take this time?"

"The path is long and the future is even longer…" Luo Mo simply stopped walking. "Then let's rest a little longer. There's no rush in cultivation."

Yao Xi said, "Cultivation is more important."

Then, looking at Xia Jiuyou with a smile, she said, "Someone is bored and probably wants to have a child to pass the time."

Xia Jiuyou's cheeks flushed red. "I'm not, I didn't."

"I cultivate for longevity and haven't considered this issue."

Luo Mo had not considered the issue of offspring because he was pursuing eternal life. Now that he had become a long-lived species, with immortality within reach, why would he pursue reproduction?

What about the descendants of ancient emperors?

What about the descendants of Immortal Kings?

In the end, one must be strong oneself.

But since Yao Xi brought it up jokingly to Xia Jiuyou, it meant they had this idea.

"However, the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to have offspring."

Although it was possible to use Dao techniques, he wouldn't consider that. After all, he could create life at will. What he created wouldn't be children, but tools.

"Let nature take its course," he said.

Some things were difficult for him to calculate himself. After all, the future was ever-changing, especially when it concerned him. If everything could be seen clearly, then those who could predict the future would encounter misfortune.

"Since it's difficult, then we need more attempts."

Yao Xi winked at Gu Manlu.

Gu Manlu also grabbed Luo Mo, just looking at him without saying a word.

Ah, this—

It seemed he couldn't escape.

…

Time flies like an arrow, and the days pass like a shuttle.

Luo Mo had reached the age of one hundred and ten. In the eyes of mortals, he was already long-lived, but for a cultivator who had attained the Dao, life had just begun. This year, he was researching creating humans.

One hundred and eleven years old, researching creating humans.

One hundred and twelve years old, continuing to research creating humans.

One hundred and thirteen years old, immersed in researching creating humans.

Luo Mo, ah Luo Mo, you need to make enough preparations and repeatedly verify before you can break through to the Realm King realm!

One hundred and fourteen years old, Yao Yao was born, researching and creating humans and Holy Spirits.

One hundred and fifteen years old, attaining the Dao.

His main body attained the Dao, the Myriad Transformations True Blood reached perfection, myriad Daos intertwined, laws burned, the universe gave birth to a red glow, covering the human realm, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was about to melt into this red glow.

There was no heavenly tribulation. The heavenly tribulation also dissolved in the red glow. The Universe Tower shrank to a height of only hundreds of millions of miles, becoming a small dot in the universe. The entire empty universe became Luo Mo's stage.

Luo Mo's Covering Heaven method, with the Myriad Transformations True Blood, attained the Dao. In this life, he searched for all kinds of physiques, and also studied the accumulated achievements of the underworld for countless generations, pushing himself to the extreme.

In the red glow that filled the universe, he shed all holiness, like depicting a beautiful picture, transforming all his divine blood. All the divine light and runes were shed from the blood, returning to their origin.

When Luo Mo completed the transformation, the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth slowly detached from the blood energy of the Myriad Transformations True Blood and silently returned to the high heavens.

If Luo Mo wanted to, he could completely transform the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth into his own blood, causing this realm to collapse and end the Dharma.

However, there was no need anymore.

Even Yao Xi, who also cultivated this path, was puzzled by Luo Mo's transformation of his painstakingly cultivated Myriad Transformations True Blood.

"It wasn't easy to cultivate. Why transform it away?"

How many bloodlines were integrated into the Myriad Transformations True Blood? Each of those bloodlines was very powerful, rare for ordinary people. Some might not even appear once in a lifetime.

"That was just a path, and I have reached the end."

The path paved with ten thousand kinds of physique bloodlines was just to give people a path to reach the end. Luo Mo wanted cultivators to not be bound by their physiques. He had already done it. Anyone who cultivated his techniques could transform into various physiques.

And after doing all this, he no longer needed the Myriad Transformations True Blood, but transcended from this path and achieved his own invincible path.

"But you don't have any physique now. Won't that weaken your strength?"

It wasn't easy to gather so many kinds of physiques. Yao Xi felt it was very difficult. Having a physique was definitely stronger than not having one. That was the truth.

"Not having a physique is also a physique."

Gai Jiuyou felt the abnormality in the Universe Tower and came out to check after discussing it with Jiang Li's incarnation.

The Universe Tower had shrunk a lot, only a few hundred million miles in height, but the starry sky inside hadn't changed, and the creatures inside hadn't noticed.

The entire universe was filled with red glow, all transformed from Luo Mo's Myriad Transformations True Blood.

Luo Mo looked at Gai Jiuyou, "Lend me the Heavenly Heart Imprint."

Gai Jiuyou didn't hesitate and released the Heavenly Heart Imprint, which he had been painstakingly studying since attaining the Dao.

The Heavenly Heart Imprint detached and flew above the myriad Daos. Luo Mo reached out and took it. The myriad Daos twisted into dazzling patterns under his fingers, like a large net being pulled out of the void. The Heavenly Heart was held in Luo Mo's hand.

The True Spirit Imprint swept across, and the information of each generation of those who merged with the Heavenly Heart appeared in Luo Mo's mind.

"Who is higher, me or Heaven?"

After scanning the Heavenly Heart, Luo Mo let it return to the sky.

Afterward, the longevity substances accumulated and dormant in his body began to surge. Immortal light diffused from his body, blurring the years, eternally immortal.

The longevity substances with more than five million years of lifespan surged and peeled off at this moment. Luo Mo let them all leave his body because he could replenish them at any time with the sixth level of the Eternal Life Realm. So even if they were all used up, it was fine.

The longevity substances transformed into a human-shaped outline and were all forced out by Luo Mo. But even so, he knew after closing his eyes and checking that his pure lifespan without longevity substances was still 110,000 years. This was the mark left by time on his Wheel of Life.

Time flew by, and the laws of time operated fiercely. The flying streams of time formed a light film around him, the color gradually deepening until it became invisible, becoming a black hole because the flow of time there was too fast.

In an instant, ten thousand years passed. Luo Mo was comprehending the mysteries of becoming an immortal.

The longevity secrets of the Undying Heavenly Emperor and the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, the Dao patterns of the Immortal Bell, the secrets of the Desolate Tower and the Tongtian Underworld Treasure, and the past generations of powerful figures left by the Heavenly Heart Imprint, especially the Great Daos of the first few generations, flashed through his mind, little by little, transforming into his own Dao.

Immortal fire burned, accompanied by the rapidly passing time of ten thousand years in a breath, tempering Luo Mo's body. The longevity substances were frantically decreasing, protecting Luo Mo from aging.

Burning these longevity substances, borrowing the path walked by predecessors, condensing the essence of immortality, so that the years can no longer be added to my body!

This was an experiment, the price being the longevity substances that could extend his life by five million years. If successful, he would become an immortal in the mortal world.

If he failed, he could also accumulate experience. Luo Mo believed that as long as he had this experience, he could succeed in one fell swoop next time, just like when he attacked the Realm King realm before.

Because next, he might encounter a powerful enemy.
