The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 9: Eternal Bliss (Crossing the Tribulation) Tianzun
"Damn, what kind of disaster is this? It's too targeted, Chen Wu, you must get through it."

Perhaps it was because the Taoist name "Eternal Tribulation" was unlucky and it aroused the disgust of God. The disaster that Chen Wu faced was so severe that even Cao Yusheng, who was going through the disaster with him, felt his scalp tingling, for fear that it would affect him.

The heavenly tribulation that Cao Yusheng faced was not simple either. Nine layers of heaven appeared, each with a Taoist temple in it. It looked ancient and vicissitudes of life, but there was nothing inside, making it seem very peaceful.

The fairy air lingers and floats in, giving people the feeling of being a fairy.

Just when Cao Yusheng was about to complete his tribulation, a phantom suddenly appeared in one of the Taoist temples, sitting cross-legged. The figure was blurry and had a similar temperament to Cao Yusheng, and his mark of the Dao was suspected to be engraved in it.

If a newcomer is good enough, he will bring the Nine-Layered Palace again, and after passing the trial, his Dao Mark will be able to enter one of the palaces. In later generations, this great calamity is called the Nine-Layered Immortal Calamity.

The perspective returns to Chen Wu.

He was still fighting in the sea of calamity, his body was almost exploded, and even the Seal of Eternal Calamity had to be recast several times. He was sublimated in the life-and-death battle, and was reborn after the destruction.

Eventually, all life disappeared.

A large amount of light rain fell, and Chen Wu's whole body was glowing. The injuries on his body were recovering rapidly, and his blood and essence were even more vigorous.

The heavenly tribulation had not yet ended. A purple light fell from the sky, like thunder, but not really. It directly locked onto Chen Wu, with great momentum and grand charm.

"Heaven and Earth want to torture me?"

Chen Wu frowned, silently feeling the great will. He had no way of avoiding it and could only accept it.

The moment the purple light hit him, Chen Wu's whole body shook violently. His physical body was intact, but his soul almost exploded.

In the past, Emperor Shi Hao of the Desolate World had experienced the torture of heaven and earth when he was trying to become the Supreme. No emperor or ancient king in later generations had such treatment. Unexpectedly, Chen Wu would also experience the same thing now. If he cannot survive it, he will be reduced to ashes.

"Why do you practice Taoism?"

The magnificent sound is deafening, striking directly at the heart, and is intended to give the most severe torture.

Chen Wu's hair was disheveled, his body was glowing, his soul was struggling violently, and fire was boiling there.

He fought fiercely with immortal beings in the sea of calamity, suppressed the six supreme beings to quell the unrest, and attained enlightenment on Ziwei Star... He accidentally met Cao Yusheng who had just awakened while digging in the burial ground...

Time flows upstream, and picture after picture appears before the eyes. They are the memories of Chen Wu's cultivation over six hundred years.

There is the joy of practicing for the first time, the excitement of being a young man, the embarrassment of being hunted down, and the loneliness of seeking the truth alone...

Chen Wu was recalling the past silently. In the end, the picture froze on a confused young man, a mortal.

"This was before I traveled through time. How could I even trace this back to this?"

Chen Wu whispered silently, and then heard the loud interrogation again.

"You are not you!"

"Bullshit, I am who I am, Chen Wu."

Chen Wu refused to surrender and roared out loudly. However, because it was a torture from deep within his soul, it was not heard by the outside world.

Another golden light flew down and ignited his body.

In an instant, Chen Wu turned into a human-shaped torch, burning there, emitting terrifying light and heat, causing the void to distort.

The flames were extremely terrifying, as if endless, burning from his origin, from his soul, from his Tao fruit, and were about to turn him into nothingness.

"I am who I am. I only seek truth. I have walked all the way here step by step."

Chen Wu shouted in his heart, ready to fight to the end.

Is the enlightenment calamity in the original novel of The Great Ruler so terrifying?

Chen Wu was not quite sure. This was really too abnormal. If it were the previous Supreme Jingxuan and others, they would probably have died in the thunder tribulation long ago.

He didn't know that his identity as a time traveler actually involved many big secrets. For example, in the original novel's plot memory, Cao Yusheng once asked about his past life, but Chen Wu was very secretive. His smart nature made him dare not reveal it easily.

At this moment, all causes and effects descend together and turn into karma fire to burn his body.

Things like cause and effect are truly mysterious.

Chen Wu had thought about this question a long time ago. According to the description in the original work, the Immortal King can interfere with time and space. When he reaches the realm of the Immortal Emperor, he can reflect the heavens throughout the ages and resurrect all living things. As for offering sacrifices to the Tao and beyond offering sacrifices to the Tao, that is even more difficult to describe.

If all this is true, a very sensitive question arises: what is the matter with his time travel? Is this world still real? Could it be reflected?
If the future is destined, no matter how hard he tries, it will just be a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water.

Chen Wu had been struggling for a long time, but finally came to his senses. Isn’t it ridiculous to think about these things at the pinnacle of immortality without even appreciating the scenery of the human realm?

It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. Worrying about things that may never happen will only add to your troubles. You will naturally know when you reach the corresponding level.

Thinking back to the present,

"I will follow my own path, and I will have no regrets even if I die a hundred times!" The flames rose into the sky, and Chen Wu simply sat down cross-legged and did not move, allowing the karma fire to befall him.

The scenery on the road is yours only if you truly appreciate it. If it is the fruit of the Tao obtained by possessing another body, it would have been reduced to ashes in the fire of karma long ago.

Someone once imagined that humans are like plants and trees, and that the fruit of the Tao is the condensation of a cultivator's life.

After taking over the body of a supreme being, can one replace that person and continue to live as him? Further imagining, can one achieve another kind of immortality by constantly taking over the bodies of others?
Xiaoyao Tianzun of later generations gave the answer. No matter how powerful the Tao fruit of others is, it is not as suitable for oneself as that cultivated by oneself. Even if one takes over the body of others thoroughly, one cannot completely wash away the marks of others.

By then, will I still be the same person?
Chen Wu holds a negative attitude towards this. It is okay to bully those in a weaker realm. In a battle at the same level, he is definitely no match for those real geniuses. The path to possessing another's body is ultimately for Xiao Daoer.

Right now, heaven and earth are torturing him and questioning his way.

Chen Wu traveled through time and space in the flesh, starting as a mortal and going through countless hardships and obstacles to get to where he is today. He is fearless and open-minded.

The fire of mortal karma is like a tempering that has immense benefits.

The Eternal Tribulation Heavenly Art is in operation, and the fierce fire is refining real gold.

"It doesn't matter whether I am a time traveler or not. I am who I am. From now on, I will only live forever."

Facing his true heart, Chen Wu felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

The wheel sea is boiling, the entire sea of suffering and the wheel of life turn into yin and yang fish, rotating around each other and entangled with each other. The dividing curve where yin and yang intersect is flawless, and the wheel sea realm has reached perfection.

There are constant scriptures in the Taoist Palace. There are five immortal palaces inside, which are magnificent and majestic. Five virtual gods are sitting cross-legged in the middle, each chanting scriptures. This is the most mysterious place. The gods that contain the treasures of the human body will have endless power once they are opened. However, these five gods are just in form. What they really contain is the lost self, the Tao self and the true self.

At this moment, the past self and the Tao self appear together, praising the true self. Chen Wu's path has something in common with Ye Fan's. They only believe in the present world and only respect themselves. Whether it is the past self or the future self of enlightenment, they are just a form, a means, and a manifestation of the ability of the true self in this life.

The Taoist Palace emitted five elements of immortal light, which resonated with the wheel sea, and then spread to the four poles and all bones, making a rumbling sound. It was the four poles that turned into pillars supporting the sky, evolving all things in heaven and earth.

The joints of the spine crackled like frying beans, and a huge dragon rose along Chen Wu's back. It was the embodiment of the secret realm of dragon transformation, which aroused the Yin-Yang Wheel Sea and grabbed the Five Elements Fairy Light of the Taoist Palace. The Four Pole Pillars provided it with supreme power.

This big dragon connected the first four secret realms and was about to penetrate Chen Wu’s head, which was the location of the immortal platform. There was infinite light, as if the world was created.

Outside the body, the karmic fire was raging, like an eternal furnace, burning all evil.

Inside the body, many secret realms resonate and connect together to form a fairy cocoon.

"Roar!"

The big dragon roared, and the four secret realms of Wheel Sea, Taoist Palace, Four Poles and Dragon Transformation merged into one and connected together. Finally, the dragon head broke through the barrier and probed in, merging with the final immortal platform.

The five secret realms are completely connected, the essence of life is constantly sublimating, and Chen Wu's Tao fruit blooms with infinite brilliance at this moment!

……

"Chen Wu's path... is almost complete!"

Cao Yusheng whispered to himself that his tribulation had ended long ago. He could tell at a glance that Chen Wu had reached the most critical moment.

The Wheel of Tribulation rose into the air and patrolled the surroundings. In order to prevent someone from making a move in secret, Cao Yusheng directly released a perfect aura of the highest order to shock all directions.

In the restricted area, many supreme beings frowned.

Someone was secretly communicating, "Do you want to take action?"

"It should have happened a long time ago. All the restricted areas are watching and waiting for the first person to take action."

"It's too late now. One of them has already survived the tribulation. If we start fighting now, it will be a fight to the death."

Everything fell silent.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally, the fire went out.

Chen Wu's whole body was as black as charcoal, motionless, and there seemed to be something glowing inside.

Just as Cao Yusheng was about to go forward to check, he suddenly saw Chen Wu suddenly tremble, ashes fell, and a light of disaster flowed. A young Taoist appeared, his body was crystal clear and flawless, like an immortal golden body recast, or like a phoenix nirvana, reborn in destruction.

An aura of extreme supremacy burst out from Chen Wu's body, reaching far and wide, sweeping across the vast universe in an instant, and all things submitted to it.

At this moment, all the cultivators in the humane realm could not help but kneel down. This was the pressure from the Supreme Being.

Chen Wu and Cao Yusheng exchanged a glance, and then two voices containing infinite majesty resounded throughout the universe.
"I, Yongjie (crossing the tribulation), have attained enlightenment today and am the Yongjie (crossing the tribulation) Heavenly Venerable."

The universe is boiling again.
Countless beings cheered loudly, praising: "Blessings to the Eternal Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, Blessings to the Tribulation Heavenly Venerable."

……

"Xianlu Zazu·Kaoyi" says: Tianzun is a brand new title, which is higher than the Supreme, and means the common respect of all the heavens. With the two Tianzuns Yongjie and Dujie proving the Tao, the haze of the chaotic ancient times ended, and an era of magnificent and unrestrained atmosphere began, which is called the mythological era.
