The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 17: Dialogue with the Master of the Immortal Tomb
With the divine thoughts of dozens of supreme beings on his body, anyone who comes will be treated seriously.

However, Chen Wu was not afraid and walked inside confidently.

"You fellow Taoists are so enthusiastic!"

Finally, he met the so-called master of the Immortal Tomb in the deepest part of the Immortal Tomb. As for Qingyu, who had been leading the way, he retreated silently.

He was an extremely old Taoist, wearing a purple gold crown on his head and a Taoist robe from the ancient times. His gray-brown hair was scattered on his chest, and in his eyes was a scene of the birth and death of the universe, with an astonishing aura.

"I am the master of the Immortal Tomb, and I am honored to meet you, Taoist Yongjie."

The other party spoke, his hoarse voice carrying the flavor of time.

Another old monster who has lived for who knows how long! Chen Wu silently gave his evaluation in his heart.

"I've met Taoist friends."

The master of the Immortal Tomb had prepared tea, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air, exuding an inexplicable Taoist charm. Then, the master of the Immortal Tomb took the first sip.
"Fellow Daoist Yongjie, please!"

"This tea..."

As Chen Wu took a sip of tea, he suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility. All the laws became more active and they took the initiative to come closer.

Looking at the tea leaves again, they were all magical and extraordinary, with different shapes.

One piece is shaped like a small tripod, with three legs and two ears, with Taoist patterns interwoven and flowing with luster; another piece is shining with red clouds, like a furnace; the last piece is in the shape of a human, with a little man sitting cross-legged, surrounded by mist, as if he is attaining enlightenment.

"This tea leaves come from an immortal medicine?"

Chen Wu stared at the owner of the immortal tomb opposite with an extremely determined look. He guessed what it was. This was the tea from the ancient tea tree of Wudao.

"Fellow Daoist, your good eyesight is indeed from a plant of immortality medicine."

The master of the Immortal Tomb took another sip, feeling relaxed and contented.

"When I was young, I accidentally entered a sacred mountain and found an immortal medicine inside. It looked like a tea tree. I picked 108 leaves of tea. It can help people realize the truth. If a cultivator at a lower level drinks it, it will be of great benefit."

"When I went out, the sacred mountain suddenly disappeared. Even after I became the Supreme Supreme, I couldn't find its trace. I think it should be a place of creation nurtured by the universe, and it is not yet time for it to be born."

"Over the years, I have used up one less leaf out of the 108 tea leaves. Now, I only take them out when distinguished guests come to visit me, and use the holy spring water to brew them. Unfortunately, in our field, it can only play a small role, but it is still very good to drink it from time to time."

The owner of the immortal tomb revealed a past event. Chen Wu knew clearly in his heart that the sacred mountain he mentioned must be the Immortal Mountain in the future, one of the original immortal mountains of the universe, and the ancient tea tree of enlightenment could only grow there.

"It's my great honor to let you take out three pieces of tea leaves at once." Chen Wu said politely.

The master of the Immortal Tomb praised sincerely: "It's okay, Brother Yongjie used his supreme body to suppress Jingxuan, and then he proved the way against the will of heaven and achieved the reputation of Tianzun, which is enough to rank among the strongest in ancient times."

"Fellow Daoist, your words are absurd. My level is far from the strongest in ancient times, and I don't deserve such a reputation."

"Fellow Daoist Yongjie, there is no need to belittle yourself. Since the Secret Realm Method came into being, there have been so many people practicing it, but who can compare to the two Daoists?"

Facing the praise from the Immortal Tomb Master, Chen Wu shook his head slightly.

"To this day, I have only stood on the shoulders of giants. How dare I be arrogant and ignore the contributions of my predecessors?"

In the ancient times of immortals and chaos, countless predecessors explored the way of cultivating the Dharma with their bodies, leaving behind valuable experience. Later, Emperor Huang Tian continued the tradition, thoroughly walked through this path, survived the catastrophe of creating the Dharma, and left behind a secret realm cultivation system.

Until now, because the ancient history has been cut off, the Supreme of the restricted area may not know. He, Chen Wu, has just become a Heavenly Lord, and has not even started his mortal immortal journey. It is impossible for him to be complacent because of the praise of others.

Seeing that Chen Wu flatly denied it, the Lord of the Immortal Tomb had a look in his eyes that was inexplicable, as if it was formed from the vast ocean, deep and unfathomable.

The master of the Immortal Tomb asked seriously, "Does Fellow Daoist Yongjie really think so?"

"The road to immortality is long, and the path to enlightenment has only just begun. I know what's going on, so there's no need to test me, fellow Taoist." Chen Wu replied seriously. "Good!"

The Lord of the Immortal Tomb clapped his hands and laughed, which surprised the other supreme beings.

The chaotic air filled the air, covering the area where the two people were. It was obvious that the Lord of the Immortal Tomb wanted to discuss something secret.

“I originally thought that Fellow Daoist Yongjie would be like those newly promoted supreme masters in the past. He reached the top after going through the trials of the human realm, and has developed an invincible momentum. He thinks he is invincible in the past, present and future, and wants to become an immortal by his own strength.”

"Isn't this an advantage? Fire refines true gold. How can you stand out from the cruel competition without a bit of arrogance?" Chen Wu asked back.

"Yes, an invincible heart of Tao is indeed an advantage."

The master of the Immortal Tomb nodded, and then asked, "What does Daoist Fellow Yongjie think of Jingxuan?"

"Jingxuan?"

Chen Wu thought about it and fell silent.

The master of the Immortal Tomb explained, "Fellow Daoist Jingxuan was the first person to enter the Immortal Tomb after me. When he first achieved the ultimate Dao, he was just like you, dazzling and brilliant, illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths with his power."

"But what happened later? You all know his ending. In fact, an invincible heart of Tao is important, but I think it is far from enough. Something else is needed."

"What is it?" Chen Wu asked hurriedly.

"It's awe! Awe for the Great Dao, for the heaven and earth, for all living things, and for all spirits. Ancient history has been cut off, and the current supreme beings only know that immortals exist. The fear of lifespan makes them pursue immortality, but they lack a heart of awe. They don't know the immensity of the heavens, let alone what has happened in this world."

The master of the Immortal Tomb stared at Chen Wu with a burning gaze.

Isn’t this referring to some of the supreme beings in later generations?

At the peak of my career: I am the only one in the nine heavens and ten earths, I am invincible in the past, present and future. Looking around, I am invincible in the world, there is nothing I can't do, even if there are no immortals, I will rely on my own strength to become an immortal - and then dare to set foot in the realm of immortal kings with the strength of an ordinary emperor, if you don't fall into it, who will?

When he reached old age: he lived in Bengbu, but couldn't bear it any longer, so he cut himself with a knife and locked himself up in a restricted area. It was too difficult, so he decided to wait for the path to immortality. After many ways to prolong life, such as the elixir of immortality, failed, he began to set his sights on all living beings. He didn't care about his reputation in order to survive.

Chen Wu couldn't comment on this. From the words of the Lord of the Immortal Tomb, it could be seen that he might have experienced the most chaotic period at the end of the ancient times and witnessed the power of the immortals with his own eyes, and was therefore in awe.

Although there is some truth to it, it is somewhat extreme.

Those supreme beings were either afraid of awe or not, or they were just noobs. In this world where the laws of immortality were not obvious, their own strength was not enough to transform. Emperor Huang Tian, Emperor Ye Tian, etc. were all powerful and invincible.

And then again, judging from the fact that the forbidden area has plundered all the divine objects in the universe, you, the master of the Immortal Tomb, are not much better.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Wu slowly asked, "So what do you mean, fellow Taoist?"

Unexpectedly, the master of the Immortal Tomb did not give a direct answer, but instead changed the subject.
"There are many forbidden areas in the universe. The people of Kunlun Immortal Mountain claim to be descendants of immortals and are unique. The Taichu Ancient Mine has a long history and contains many natural treasures. The burial soil has been buried for thousands of years..."

"Fellow Daoist, do you know why my immortal tomb can attract so many fellow Daoists to gather here?"

"Ok?"

Chen Wu instantly became interested and said, "I'd like to hear more about it."

"Originally, I should have told you this when you were old, so that I could attract you to join my Immortal Tomb. But after our conversation just now, it doesn't hurt to tell you now."

The master of the Immortal Tomb chuckled, and then deliberately lowered his voice.
"The reason why the Immortal Tomb is called the Immortal Tomb is because there is a corpse of an immortal hidden here."

The sound was not loud, but it was enough to crush eternity.
