The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 220 Leaving
Chen Wu originally set his sights on the Holy Spirit in order to comprehend the Great Dao imprints left behind by the past Immortal Kings, and even created the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

However, by a twist of fate, his path of defying the will of Heaven and the Holy Spirit took a strange turn, even beyond his own expectations.

Starting with "severing the heavens," he achieved the effect of "mending the heavens." In a sense, Chen Wu's life can be seen as that of an ancient immortal cultivator.

However, instead of seeking a Dao Seed from outside, he transformed himself into a flawless immortal seed and merged back into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

This is a shortcut to instant success; in the Immortal Ancient Era or the Chaotic Ancient Era, it could even lead to becoming an Immortal King.

Although Cao Yusheng didn't know the secret behind it, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. He asked in surprise, "Even in this state, you still can't become an immortal?"

Chen Wu shook his head, his gaze deep.
“This is not the direction I really want to go. I can use this to comprehend the secrets of immortality, but the next step is to transcend it and return to my true self.”

"So, I want to go back to the past, meet some people, and gain some insights."

There are some things that Chen Wu did not fully reveal.

If he cannot transcend this in time, he will be completely assimilated by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and eternally condemned. At that time, something called "Heavenly Dao" will appear in the world, governing all the order of the myriad paths, gathering all living beings in heaven and earth, and Chen Wu will no longer exist.

"Damn it, have you really gone against the heavens?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yusheng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at him as if he were a monster. "I've been thinking about this for so long, and I've finally figured out a feasible path. I've only just taken the first step, and you've already gone this far. Do you still want to go back to the past?"

After saying that, he seemed to be deep in thought, and sighed again, "You freak, what exactly did you go through? You were abnormal in the past, but you weren't this genius, were you?"

"Then I'll have to ask you," Chen Wu said softly.

"I?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yusheng pointed at himself, indignant, as if he had suffered the greatest injustice in the world.

"You bastard, you forcibly opened my coffin, stole all the treasures, not even a single memory crystal, and you still have the nerve to turn around and blame me?"

The mere mention of it made Cao Yusheng furious. All his hard work and accumulation over tens of thousands of years had vanished in an instant. All his magical treasures and immortal materials were gone, leaving him with only a pair of underwear.

The poor future Underworld Emperor, apart from a physical body, inherited nothing from the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, and will be forced to embark on a path where three parts are destined by fate and seven parts depend on hard work.

Thinking of this, Chen Wu smiled faintly and said meaningfully, "I already said, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. Rather than letting someone else benefit from it, why don't you let your brother keep it for you? What do you say?"

"I don't believe you!" Cao Yusheng rolled his eyes and glared at him resentfully.

"Don't believe me?" Chen Wu raised an eyebrow and asked again.

"Do not believe!"

Cao Yusheng answered crisply and decisively.

"And you traitorous dog, I'll deal with you later."

This statement was directed at the Wheel of Tribulation. In fact, with his abilities, it would be easy for him to see who was behind it.

Now, having heard its master call its name, the Wheel of Tribulation could no longer hide and had no choice but to appear, close its eyes, and await its death.

On the other side, Chen Wu's eyes were deep, and a glint of light suddenly appeared in them.
"Since you don't believe me, then I'll show you what the future holds. There's a young man who's angry with you. You'll never know how much trouble you've caused until you experience his anger firsthand."

Seeing his appearance, Cao Yusheng felt a chill run down his spine and a bad premonition suddenly arose.

"What do you want? Don't come any closer..."

"Fatty, keep yelling, it won't do any good."

As he spoke, Chen Wu looked serious and rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.

In the original timeline, due to the outbreak of the Corpse Calamity, Cao Yusheng and Lingbao were practically sworn enemies, though the former was more often the one digging pits for the latter.

In this life, because Chen Wu reversed the Heavenly Heart Holy Spirit and was in a slumber, Ling Bao was unsurprisingly tricked by Cao Yusheng again, becoming a lonely figure at a young age, and running around searching for a way to resurrect her senior sister. Therefore, Chen Wu decided to let Cao Yusheng experience the ordeal that Ling Bao had gone through.

"I'm just a divine thought, it can't be that serious, can it?" Cao Yusheng shouted, trying to escape.

"That's exactly the divine thought I want. Now behave yourself!"

So, under the watchful gaze of the Wheel of Tribulation, Chen Wu slowly pointed out a finger.

In an instant, the ancient road emerged, stirring up ripples.

That is the power of the long river of time; it is fleeting, yet it reverses the universe and shakes the world.

"You're such a fucking dog, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Yusheng's divine thought vanished from the spot, leaving only his body lying quietly in the void.

"Heavenly Venerable, is Master alright?" the Wheel of Tribulation asked with some concern.

Chen Wu glanced at it and calmly replied, "Don't worry, he'll soon be surrounded and beaten by a lot of people, and he probably won't survive."

"???"

The Wheel of Tribulation was puzzled, and subconsciously doubted whether he had misheard.

"Sigh, this guy boasts that his understanding of the Dao of Reincarnation is unmatched, but in reality, he can't help but fall into misconceptions." Chen Wu sighed. "If this divine thought of his isn't completely extinguished, when will he achieve true perfection and thus begin his next life?"

Looking at the original plot, among the few immortals in the mortal world, Cao Yusheng was the first to embark on this path, and his transformation began in the early days of the mythological era.

However, after millions of years, it wasn't until Ye Fan's era that he reached his fifth incarnation. By the time Ye Fan had become a Red Dust Immortal, he still hadn't fused the Nine Paths of Reincarnation Seal into one. This speed was really a bit slow.

"Old Cao, don't blame me. You'll definitely be grateful to me later."

At this moment, Chen Wu was talking to himself.

He only did it because of our past friendship; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered going to such lengths.

"Keep these things for now, and give them to Cao Yusheng when he has formed a Yin Spirit."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Wu reburied Cao Yusheng, along with his coffin, without even glancing at the burial goods he had scavenged from his body.

The Wheel of Tribulation cautiously inquired, "May I ask, Heavenly Venerable, what exactly is the appropriate time?"

Chen Wu thought for a moment and casually said, "When he no longer needs those things."

"Should we give it to him when we no longer need it?"

The Wheel of Tribulation kept repeating itself, growing increasingly confused.

However, by the time it wanted to ask again, Chen Wu had already left, with utter nonchalance and decisiveness.

……

First Wu Wen, then Cao Yusheng,

Apart from those sealed on Burial Sky Island, Chen Wu had almost no one else he cared about in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"It's time to go. I hope to find what I'm looking for in the Immortal Ancient and Chaotic Ancient."

He sighed, his gaze lingering for a moment on the spiritual treasure undergoing its tribulation in the starry sky.
