The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 20 The Secret of the Immortal Tomb
"Whether it's the ancient immortal method, the ancient chaotic method, or even the secret realm method, they all learn from nature. There are traces to follow and principles to abide by in the world's cultivation. There is nothing to be taboo about. Even the mysterious funeral method cannot escape this theorem."

"Fellow Daoists have seized the divine objects of the universe and intercepted the essence of heaven and earth, attempting to use the corpses of immortals as the source, go against the trend of heaven and earth, and push the environment of the Great Dao back to the chaotic ancient times."

Chen Wu stood tall in the chaos, every inch of his flesh and blood was glowing with light, Tao and reason were intertwined, and the dazzling immortal light illuminated everything around him.

He was looking down at the master of the Immortal Tomb.

"You are on the wrong path!"

A wake-up call, like the sound of a huge bell, stirred up waves in the disordered chaos.

Opposite Chen Wu, the master of the Immortal Tomb was sitting cross-legged in the void, with disheveled hair and a somewhat distracted look in his eyes.

"Is it really wrong?"

He was muttering to himself, his voice barely audible, as if he was asking Chen Wu, or as if he was asking himself.

"Floating duckweed has no roots. Even if you succeed, what's the use? Can you make the entire universe return to the ancient times?" Chen Wu shouted again in a deep voice.

……

The great way is lost, order collapses, and this small world is heading towards annihilation.

The master of the immortal tomb separated it from the immortal tomb and used forbidden magic to make the laws of the universe here briefly return to the chaotic ancient times.

Afterwards, the two of them used this small world as a chessboard and began to discuss their respective principles and methods.

Chen Wu vs. the Master of the Immortal Tomb, Secret Realm Method vs. Ancient Chaos Method,
On the person: Although Chen Wu has practiced for far less time than the Lord of the Immortal Tomb, he has a firm heart in Taoism, and he has realized a lot in the heavenly tribulations over the years. In addition, he has the memory of the original work, and his perspective is at a high level, not inferior to that of the Lord of the Immortal Tomb.

Theory: The strength of a cultivation system is positively correlated with its founder. The Desolate Emperor Shi Hao is obviously greater than the group of Immortal Kings at the end of the Ancient Times.

Perhaps it was because there had never been someone who could prove the Dao in the secret realm before, until Chen Wu and Cao Yusheng appeared, the Lord of the Immortal Tomb had the idea of competing with them.

No one ignores the potential of the secret realm method. It can only be said that the master of the immortal tomb overestimated himself.

The result is undoubtedly, the master of the Immortal Tomb was defeated!
……

Time is like a knife that cuts off the genius, and many heroes shed blood;

Sighing the enchantment on the road to immortality, the boundless beauty and unparalleled grace.

Transform into a holy spirit, transform into a chaotic body, the power of faith, Taoist soldiers and gods, the seal of reincarnation, the corpse-reincarnation immortal... later generations of great people explored one path to immortality after another.

In this era, the supreme being in the restricted area is no less powerful.

The appearance of the immortal corpse brought hope to the immortal tomb. There were remnants of the ancient immortal laws inside, but unfortunately the heaven and earth did not support it, and even if one comprehended it, one could not achieve immortality.

Therefore, they want to go back to the chaotic ancient times, separate the immortal tombs from the nine heavens and ten earths, and return to the era that supports the laws of immortality.

This is somewhat similar to what the Green Emperor did in later generations. One is to roll back the current system version based on the immortal corpse, and the other is to develop a new system with the Desolate Tower as an anchor.

The starting point is to allow the laws of immortality to reappear and to support the immortality of the cultivators themselves.

But in Chen Wu's opinion, it is a road of no return and his talents are being used in the wrong place.

Whether it is to go back to the ancient chaos or to evolve the fairyland, only the fairy king can do it. Then again, if you have the strength of a fairy king, do you still need to worry about the lifespan?
Catch-1, there is no solution. [Note ]
What is even more coincidental is that the Chaos Green Lotus Seed happened to be in the Immortal Tomb at this time. If Chen Wu had not appeared, it would be hard to say whether it was because of the factors of the Immortal Tomb that influenced the Green Emperor, causing him to embark on the path of no return of evolving the Immortal Realm in the future.

Maybe this is just one of the reasons, there may be other reasons.

……

The speech is over.

The master of the Immortal Tomb was defeated. This was not a fight of life and death, but a battle of Taoism.

"I have lived countless years in vain, devoted myself to studying the immortal corpse, and have never started a riot."

"The road must be traversable. The reason must be because of me. I am not strong enough and my talent is not high enough."

The master of the Immortal Tomb stood up and muttered to himself in a daze.

"Fellow Daoist once told me that I should be reverent, reverent to the Great Dao, reverent to the heaven and earth, reverent to all living things, reverent to all spirits... But from what I see from your actions, it seems that you don't have any reverent intention."

Chen Wu walked over, chanting as he walked: "Plant the seeds of the Great Dao, and they will grow into immortal trees, blooming brilliant flowers and bearing supreme fruits. All roads lead to immortality, why don't you try changing directions?"

"Change the direction?"

The master of the Immortal Tomb laughed miserably, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yongjie is willing to share the correct path with me?"

"There is no right or wrong. The road is made by people. It's just that the scenery and degree of twists and turns on both sides are different."

Chen Wu shook his head slightly, and said calmly: "Immortality is like a journey, and I am also a traveler. As long as you are willing to try, I think the method of transformation is feasible."

Just as he said before, cultivation is not something that can be done behind closed doors. Chen Wu does not want to see himself walking alone on the road to immortality.

Don't think it's easy to become an immortal from the mortal world. Just because you know how to do it doesn't mean you know the specific method. You still have to go on your own. Ye Fan, Ruthless, and Undying only proved that this path is feasible. In fact, they also suffered a lot during the transformation process.

The ruthless man reversed the chaotic body and let the Dao fruit walk in the outside world, and was in a daze most of the time; the Immortal Emperor transformed into Lao Liu and carried out sneak attacks on the immortal road, just to bathe in the emperor's blood and achieve nirvana; Ye Fan's situation was slightly better, with the reference of the previous experience, and there were twists and turns in the process of transformation...

The Lord of the Immortal Tomb is definitely a talented person. Since he has never started any riot, what's wrong with him telling you the direction to become an immortal in the mortal world?

You want to learn? I will teach you. I am not afraid of you getting ahead.

"Daoyou Yongjie has great spirit and is worthy of the title of Peerless Heavenly Venerable. It is a pity that I was not born in the same era as Daoyou and could not explore the path to immortality together."

The master of the Immortal Tomb had a strange look in his eyes, praising from the bottom of his heart.
"But, thank you for your kindness, Taoist Yongjie. The path of seeking the truth is unyielding. This is my lifelong pursuit. Even if I fail, I will shine the brightest."

As expected, he refused and insisted on moving forward without turning back until he hit a wall.

Chen Wu remained silent, and then turned around to leave, but was stopped by the master of the Immortal Tomb.

"Wait a minute, Taoist Yongjie. I have a secret message for you. I'll take it as a token of my gratitude. You may be interested."

……

Time passed quietly, under the gaze of the supreme beings in the Immortal Tomb,
The small world finally cracked open, revealing the figures of Eternal Tribulation Lord and the Lord of the Immortal Tomb. No one knew what the two communicated inside.

Chen Wu glanced at Qingyu, and his gaze lingered on the laurel immortal tree behind him for a while.

"Qingyu pays respect to you, and may you be blessed with eternal bliss!"

Qingyu was bowing respectfully, which was a sign of respect for the pioneers of the great way.

Chen Wu remained silent, then stood up and left.

A golden avenue shot up into the sky, spanning the universe to the burial ground, alarming many saints who had been waiting outside the starry sky.

"Eternal Tribulation Heavenly Venerable left the Immortal Tomb, and nothing happened."

"The Forbidden Zone seems to have reached an agreement with the Heavenly Lord to jointly study the path to immortality."

"Bullshit, how could the Heavenly Lord be in league with the forbidden area?"

All kinds of rumors are spreading in the universe, some true and some false.

……

At this time, deep in the burial ground,
Chen Wu stepped into the place and ran into Cao Yusheng who had been waiting for a long time.
"how?"

Cao Yusheng asked anxiously, and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"Well, are you hurt?"

He saw a little blood coming out of the corner of Chen Wu's mouth and his face looked a little sick.

Chen Wu replied: "It's okay, just a little wound."

"Is there anyone like him in the restricted area who can hurt you?"

Cao Yusheng was a little surprised. In his opinion, Chen Wu had reached an incredible realm. Unless he was under siege, he did not feel the fluctuations of the battle.

Is there anyone who can compare to Chen Wu?

"It was the master of the Immortal Tomb, an old monster who had lived for who knows how many years. I had a duel of principles with him."

Chen Wu smiled indifferently. After all, he had practiced for millions of years more than others. It made the opponent seem a bit useless if he could crush them without any injuries in their home court.

Then, Chen Wu told everyone everything he had seen and heard along the way.

……

Feeling the ancient Taoist charm simulated by Chen Wu, Cao Yusheng's face gradually became serious, and he said in a concentrated voice: "As you said, those people in the Immortal Tomb want to rely on the power of the immortal corpse to go back to the ancient times, so they intercepted a large amount of the essence of heaven and earth for nourishment. Do you want to get out?"

"That's right. The person in charge is confused. That road is hopeless. Not to mention becoming the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone, even if a True Immortal is revived, he will be cut by the will of heaven. The only way is to become an immortal in the mortal world.

Although they have not started another dark turmoil, it is not much different to grab the essence of the universe to nourish themselves. I guess when they find that it is a dead end, they will choose to give it a try. "Chen Wu said in a deep voice.

"Then we must prepare early. I didn't expect that there are still corpses of true immortals left."

Cao Yusheng nodded, feeling a sense of urgency.

"We'll take it one step at a time. We still have time. Besides, other than the Immortal Tomb, the other restricted areas are not easy to deal with."

Chen Wu mentioned another thing, that is, the last news the owner of the Immortal Tomb told him was about the Taichu Ancient Mine.
