Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

He actually robbed his own grave, and even told the Heavenly Emperor that he wanted to dig up his own grave, and then he dug his own grave with his butt sticking out...

What's this called?

"Ahem..." The fat Taoist coughed twice, trying to remain calm. "This...that..."

Jiang Hao looked at Wu Liang's expression and laughed, a very happy laugh.

He had waited a long time for this scene, recording these images for this day, to show it to Wu Liang.

You still dare to covet my grave? You still want to dig it up? Do you still want to?

Lingbao Tianzun also laughed, his laughter hearty: "Interesting, Fellow Daoist Mingzun really knows how to have fun."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded with a smile: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Mingzun to be this kind of person."

Wu Liang's face turned even redder, and he could only manage an awkward yet polite smile, chuckling, "Hahaha...that...it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

Jiang Hao looked at him and teased, "What misunderstanding? Fellow Daoist Netherworld Lord, aren't you digging your own grave, yet you said you were going to dig mine up?"

"No, no!" Wu Liang quickly waved his hand.

"That wasn't digging, that was...that was an investigation, yes, an investigation, an investigation and research!"

"Does the investigation involve taking everything from other people's belongings?"

"That's...that's a firsthand experience study!" the fat Taoist priest explained, forcing himself to speak.

"To truly understand the feelings of the tomb's occupant, we need to experience it firsthand. This is the key to better research. In our field, immersive experiences are essential!"

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Wu Liang's weak explanation, the smiles on Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun's faces grew even wider.

So this is what Fellow Daoist Mingzun is like—so mischievous, so funny, completely different from the rumors.

Jiang Hao shook his head and laughed, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

He looked at Wu Liang and said earnestly, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on completing another lifetime."

Wu Liang paused for a moment, then smiled.

That smile held both joy and emotion.

"It wasn't easy," the fat Taoist sighed. "Every life has to start anew, every life has to go through life and death. This path is too difficult. Fortunately, no accidents happened, and I returned successfully."

He then looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, his eyes flashing with surprise and admiration:

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, I never expected you to return! Congratulations! And judging from your appearance, not only did you return successfully, but you've also greatly improved your strength!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said gently, "You have returned by good fortune, thanks to the great help of Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Lingbao."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang looked at Jiang Hao again, clicking his tongue in amazement: "Heavenly Emperor, you really live a long life! Every time I wake up, you're still here. Just how many lifetimes have you lived?"

Jiang Hao smiled: "Sixth generation."

"Sixth generation..." Wu Liang murmured, "Impressive, truly impressive. Let's go, let's find a place to have tea and chat. I slept so soundly, I don't know about many things."

Jiang Hao nodded, and the group returned to the Heavenly Court.

Side hall of Lingxiao Palace.

Feng Wu and Feng Xi were also there, sitting and chatting over tea.

Seeing Jiang Hao return, followed by a fat Taoist priest, Feng Xi blinked curiously.

Jiang Hao introduced the two parties.

"This is the Underworld Lord, a legend from the mythological era." He pointed to Wu Liang, "This is Feng Wu, and this is Feng Xi, Feng Wu's niece."

Wu Liang quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Fairy Fengwu, and Miss Fengxi."

Feng Wu returned the greeting: "Fellow Daoist Mingzun, you are too kind."

Feng Xi's eyes lit up as she curiously examined Wu Liang: "This is Lord Mingzun? The one you mentioned, Great Emperor, who has an exceptionally deep understanding of various tombs?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wu Liang's face, but he still puffed out his belly and tried his best to maintain his composure: "It is indeed this humble Taoist priest."

Feng Xi leaned closer, grinning, and said, "Lord Underworld Lord, I've heard you're quite knowledgeable about ancient tombs. Perhaps I could ask you for some guidance sometime?"

Wu Liang opened his mouth, about to boast a few words, but stopped himself as he recalled the scenes from earlier.

He recalled telling the Heavenly Emperor that he wanted to rob his tomb, and the shameful act of digging up his own grave.

He coughed lightly and said modestly, "I know a little, I know a little."

In the past, he would have definitely boasted about it, but the situation is not right, so he refrained from doing so.

Feng Xi blinked, somewhat surprised.

She had heard the Great Emperor talk about the Underworld Lord, who was known to be a very boastful person. Why was he being so humble today?

But she didn't think much of it and just nodded: "Then I'll definitely ask you for advice when I have the chance in the future."

Wu Liang nodded, relieved. Fortunately, Jiang and the other two had saved him some face and hadn't shown him that embarrassing scene again.

Everyone took their seats and began to enjoy tea and discuss philosophy.

The aroma of the Enlightenment Tea permeates the air, carrying the essence of Taoism.

Wu Liang took a sip of tea and remarked with emotion, "I woke up to find that you've all made such great progress. Fellow Daoist Lingbao and Fellow Daoist Yuanshi have both reached this stage, and Fellow Daoist Jiang, needless to say, you're almost an immortal, aren't you?"

Jiang Hao shook his head: "Still a little short!"

"Still a bit short," Wu Liang murmured. "I'm still slowly reincarnating. This is only my fourth life, much slower than yours."

Lingbao Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Mingzun, although your path is slow, it has a solid foundation and is very unique. Each life is a new beginning, and each new beginning is an accumulation. When you have accumulated enough, you will naturally unleash your full potential."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded: "Everyone has their own destiny, there's no need to rush."

Wu Liang sighed: "That's true, but seeing how far you all have gone, I'm still a little envious."

Although he was optimistic by nature, he still felt a little emotional seeing Jiang Hao and the others make rapid progress and far surpass him.

He was the Lord of the Underworld, an invincible figure of his era, and he was very confident in his talent and cultivation.

Jiang Hao looked at Wu Liang and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Mingzun, your path is one that others cannot follow. It may seem fast to us, but the risks are also great. Although you are slow, every step you take is steady. In the end, you may not be worse than us."

Wu Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you all know how to speak. Thank you for your comfort."

The discussion lasted for a long time.

The path of the Underworld Lord is indeed unique; he buries himself in every life and starts anew in every life.

This method is something that others cannot learn, nor can they learn.

But the lessons it contained were enlightening for everyone present.

Jiang Hao and the others all gained something.

Different paths and different ways of thinking can always spark new ideas.

……

The discussion on the Dao came to an end, and the topic turned to the Great Luo Heaven.

Wu Liang's eyes widened in surprise after hearing Jiang Hao's introduction.

"There are places like this?" The fat Taoist priest's voice changed.

"You can experiment with martial arts techniques freely inside, and it doesn't matter if you die? You can also trade, read books, and make friends?"

Jiang Hao nodded.

The fat Taoist priest stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the hall.

"What a wonderful place! This place was practically made for me!"

His eyes lit up.

"In the future, when I study ancient tombs, I can simulate various environments inside and test different methods of deciphering them. This will greatly improve efficiency, which is fantastic!"

He looked at Jiang Hao with a beaming smile: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, may I reside permanently in the Great Luo Heaven from now on?"

Jiang Hao laughed and said, "Whatever."

"Great! From now on, Da Luo Tian is my home!" Wu Liang rubbed his hands together, already thinking about what to do once inside.

After chatting for a while, Wu Liang suddenly stood up.

"I have to go."

Everyone looked at him upon hearing this.

Wu Liang explained, "I just woke up in this life, so my memories are still there. But after a while, I'll have to erase these memories and start this new life anew."
