The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 244: Heaven and man divided into three parts, achieving eternal calamity

"Enough. This is a united imperial pass, not a place for intrigue and power struggles."

The old man stood up abruptly. He was shirtless, with white hair flowing down his shoulders, but he was very strong. There was a large spiked club beside him.

Following the old man's commotion, several cultivators on the distant star opened their eyes simultaneously, like prehistoric beasts awakening, sending chills down one's spine.

"Is this how you show favoritism towards outsiders?" Jia De retorted.

"How dare you! You've truly gone mad with your cultivation."

The old man was furious, and then he suddenly did something that shocked everyone: he raised his hand and slapped Jia De.

"you……"

Jia De's expression changed instantly, and he immediately tried to dodge.

If he really got slapped in public, he'd be finished; he'd lose all face.

However, the idea was good, but it couldn't bridge the gap in strength. Even if he could teleport and traverse the void, he still couldn't escape the old man's lock.

However, just as he was about to be hit, the old man's hand suddenly froze in place.

Ok?
A hint of doubt appeared in Jia De's eyes.

"This!!!" The old man was also puzzled.

He seemed to have thought of something, and then looked at Chen Wu with an incredulous expression.

"Fine, I know that staying in this place for too long and feeling stifled will inevitably cause psychological problems. You want to challenge me, right? How about I give you this opportunity?" Chen Wu said calmly.

"Junior Mo Tiesheng has guarded the Imperial Pass for 30,000 years. May I ask your name, senior?" The old man hurriedly dropped his spiked club and bowed respectfully.

Seeing him suddenly turn into this state, the creatures that had been watching the spectacle couldn't help but gasp in astonishment, speechless.

"you you……"

Jia De couldn't help but take two steps back, his face filled with horror.

The old man wielding the spiked club was already the strongest among them. Even he addressed the young man before him as a junior, which meant that the other party's strength had reached an unimaginable level, at least at the Escape One realm.

"Come on, take my finger!" Chen Wu sighed softly.

Before he could finish speaking, Jia De was nailed to the ground.

In the next instant, the force pierced through the giant star, shaking off the ancient dust accumulated on the surface of the city wall.

"Hahaha, what a joke! I, Jiade, have cultivated for many years and have never seen a Grandmaster of the Escape Realm so young. You want to make a move? Come on, let me see what you're really made of!" Jiade shouted.

This bizarre scene made onlookers involuntarily swallow hard, because Jia De hadn't even reacted yet; his mind was still stuck on what had just happened.

"Please, senior, spare Jiade's life. Considering he has guarded the pass for many years, he has certainly worked hard even if he hasn't achieved anything great," the old man said, bowing.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wu glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and said indifferently, "If it weren't for these, he would have died long ago."

Jia De will make things difficult for Shi Hao, who has just arrived at the Imperial Pass. Although he will not succeed, he will still cause some trouble.

It's best to avoid doing things like this: let Shi Hao suffer, and I'll bear the blame.

After all, the Desolate Emperor had already suffered enough, fighting against the odds all by himself. Along his path to growth, a bunch of brainless idiots would swarm him like mosquitoes, biting him every now and then.

Chen Wu had no intention of changing the overall situation, but he could easily deal with these insignificant underlings, such as Jia De and the blond man from before, to prevent them from bothering Shi Hao again.

"Thank you for your leniency, senior. I will let Jia De reflect on his actions in prison. I will release him once he has come to his senses and his behavior has improved."

The old man quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

After saying that, he pointed out a ball of dark light, which enveloped Jia De, who was still shouting but completely unaware of his current situation, and threw him into the darkness in the distance.

"Do as you please. I came here mainly to see someone," Chen Wu said.

"Excuse me, senior, who would you like to see?"

"A young girl, her name is Ye Qingxian, I don't know if you've heard of her."

……

Just as the three supreme beings of the Heavenly God Academy were leading their team to the Imperial City to observe the Primordial Covenant, something suddenly happened.

"Oh no, someone really is missing." The middle-aged sage's expression changed.

The spiritual senses of the three of them were terrifying; they were constantly watching, but it was still impossible to guard against them.

"Who is it? Who is lost?"

They stood up and quickly called everyone back.

"It's Shi Hao, he's gone!" the chubby boy Cao Yusheng said in a terrified voice.

"So it was him!" a supreme expert murmured. "Could it be that he accidentally entered a strange rift?"

"That young man was exceptionally talented and left a deep impression on me. It would be a pity if he were to perish outside like this," said the middle-aged sage.

"Fellow Daoists, how about we split up and search separately? If we don't find any trace of them within a month, then we can report the information to the Imperial City."

"can!"

"good!"

With the three supreme beings reaching an agreement, the others also began to move, searching in groups.

Amidst the commotion, only the witch's beautiful eyes flickered as she gazed thoughtfully at the city walls that reached the sky.

"Although this little guy isn't very lucky and strange things often happen to him, this time, it couldn't possibly be your doing, could it?"

"Several months have passed since I left. If I don't come back soon, I'm really going to go to the Heavenly God Academy." She suddenly sighed, looking extremely resentful.

……

The Imperial Pass, standing eternally across the desolate frontier.

Before it, everyone is like a speck of dust, only able to look up and feel their own insignificance.

“Senior, the one you wish to see is located in the deepest part of the inner city,” the old man said respectfully.

"Oh?" Chen Wu's eyes narrowed. "You've met Ye Qingxian?"

“When she came to fulfill the contract, she was followed by the old Celestial of the Celestial Race and the War Emperor of the War Race. I remember it very well,” a middle-aged man in a gray robe suddenly interjected.

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately glared at him and then apologized, "I'm sorry, senior, that woman is a bit... well, anyway, we won't accompany you inside."

Everyone present knew that Ye Qingxian was quirky and clever, and that several of the most terrifying ancient figures in the Imperial Pass doted on her.

"I can go by myself, I don't need you to come with me."

Chen Wu remained calm, his gaze shifting to the deepest part of the Imperial Pass, where several terrifying auras lurked.

They are true supreme beings of the ultimate path. If placed in the era of Shrouding the Heavens, they could be compared to Heavenly Venerables. Even though they are old and frail and no longer at their peak, they are definitely among the top combat forces at present.

"But why does it feel a little strange?"

Chen Wu muttered to himself, then sent out a wisp of his divine sense.

The next moment,

boom!
An inexplicable, vast divine power rose up, extending from the depths of the Imperial Pass, alarming countless cultivators along the way.

"It's the ancestral altar, the secluded training ground of several invincible figures."

“There must be someone of equal rank present, and they are greeting us with courtesy,” someone said in a trembling voice.

The ancestral altar is very mysterious within the Imperial Pass.

Rumor has it that several ancient figures reside there, their ages are frightening, possibly half a generation older than Meng Tianzheng and Wang Changsheng.

And now, such a powerful figure has been alarmed and is being greeted with the courtesy due to a fellow Daoist.

"Could it be that another unparalleled supreme being has arrived?" At this moment, countless cultivators looked up at the sky, their hearts surging with excitement.

……

"Have those men awakened?" The old man wielding a spiked club trembled.

If even he was like this, let alone the others, they all collapsed to the ground.

Because this was the epicenter of the impact, an unparalleled force pressed down directly upon it.

Only Chen Wu remained unaffected, his robes fluttering in the breeze.

Looking at the strange phenomenon before him, he suddenly chuckled and muttered to himself, "Well, it's been a long time since I've been here. Thank you all for your kind invitation."

The Golden Path—a standard feature for top experts in the human realm—extends out, accompanied by a shower of light and dazzling laws dancing in the air.

The next instant, Chen Wu lifted his foot and stepped onto the golden road, with a crowd of people bowing respectfully behind him.

……

Buzz!
Dao runes appeared one after another, accompanied by celestial music.

Chen Wu walked along the magnificent golden avenue as if strolling leisurely.

In the distance, the ancestral altar was clearly visible, where the blood energy surged and coalesced into three towering human figures.

A man with a bushy beard and long hair, carrying a large white bone club on his shoulder, dressed in animal skin, with his upper body bare, exuding a crimson aura mixed with pale gold, his imposing presence overwhelming the universe.

The second person, bathed in firelight, held a golden bone block in his hand, with wings on his back like those of a true phoenix, his eyes burning with a vast divine fire, looking down upon the world.

There was another person, very blurry, not fully visible, just a vague shadow.

These three figures appear primitive and are not their true forms, but merely manifestations of the Dharma. Yet they are incredibly lifelike, as if bearing witness to the ages, and are terrifying beyond measure.

"I was wondering why it felt so strange."

Chen Wu looked up and noticed something amiss. "So they were just stone carvings after all. I accidentally reactivated the lingering obsession."

However, that wasn't the point. Chen Wu suddenly looked at another tall and slender figure.

She was a young girl, with unparalleled beauty, extraordinary grace, and a slender, upright figure, enveloped in a sacred glow.

She stood beneath the three blood-red avatars, her face filled with curiosity. "Ye Qingxian!"

Chen Wu read out the other person's name, and then stepped closer.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Ye Qingxian was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure.

"Guess!" Chen Wu said calmly.

"I've only told my name to a few people, and you're definitely not among them." The girl narrowed her eyes, her gaze captivating.

"Couldn't someone else have relayed the information to me?"

"Hmph, who's so bored? It can't be Shi Hao, can it?"

"answer……"

Chen Wu deliberately kept her in suspense, only to find that the girl in front of him was staring at him intently.

"Strange, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

Ye Qingxian had red lips and white teeth, and was graceful and elegant. Her gaze revealed a sense of doubt and confusion.

She was certain she had seen the man before somewhere, but unfortunately, she just couldn't remember where.

Seeing this, Chen Wu seemed to have confirmed a certain guess and began to change the subject, "Aren't you going to introduce them to me?"

After saying that, he pointed to the three blood-red dharma images in the sky.

From a distance, it's not obvious, but once you get closer, it's easy to see that they are all phantoms projected from the stone carvings.

"The one wielding the white bone club is the Stone Clan ancestor, the one bathed in firelight and with wings is the Fire Clan ancestor, and the last one is the comrade of the first two. They belong to the third of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands."

"The ancestral altar is not only a place of seclusion, but also a place of worship. They themselves do not know whether they are alive or dead, and only a wisp of obsession remains, which they entrust to the stone wall."

"Humph, it's all your fault!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qingxian got angry. "I was just thinking about how to cover it up when you activated it with a single thought. Now, the truth about this place will soon be revealed."

"Is there a problem?" Chen Wu asked casually.

"Don't you know that people outside are slandering the Seven Kings of the Borderlands? They're even calling their descendants 'sinful blood.' If the three obsessions left here are exposed, Shi Hao will encounter even more trouble when he comes to the Imperial Pass to guard it in the future," Ye Qingxian said irritably.

"So what?" Chen Wu replied indifferently.

The girl witnessed this scene and immediately gritted her teeth, wishing she could punch him.

For some reason, Ye Qingxian didn't feel much awe in front of Chen Wu, this "unfamiliar" powerhouse, as if she subconsciously regarded him as a reliable senior.

She herself was aware of this, and although she didn't understand why, it didn't stop her from trusting this instinctive intuition.

“You’re not Shi Hao, so of course it doesn’t matter to you.” Ye Qingxian said indignantly, “Families like the Wang family and the Jin family have Wang Changsheng and Jin Taijun standing behind them. They are all scheming and despicable people who only care about their own interests. What if they bully the weak? Shi Hao doesn’t have anyone behind him.”

“Who says Shi Hao has no one behind him? I am!” Chen Wu suddenly said.

"you?"

Ye Qingxian was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "That's right, and you too!"

With Chen Wu's current combat power, if he were to unleash his full power, he would be virtually invincible below the level of an Immortal King.

Although Ye Qingxian didn't know the specifics of Chen Wu's background, she knew that Chen Wu was very strong, as could be seen from his performance just now.

"It's all my fault, I forgot to ask, may I ask what your name is, senior?"

"I was just mentioning it casually. I won't take action unless it's absolutely necessary. Don't take this as an excuse to act tough," Chen Wu reminded her leisurely, seeing through her little scheme at a glance.

"How could that be? Since you know my name, senior, yet you hide yourself, wouldn't I be at a great loss?" Ye Qingxian said with a grin.

"My name is Weiyangke."

"Good name!"

"Oh, what's so good about it? Tell me more."

"Uh..." Ye Qingxian's smile froze instantly.

……

Soon after, the Old Celestials and the War Emperor arrived in haste.

The two were worried about Ye Qingxian's safety, but when they arrived, they saw a scene that shocked them to their core.

A stunningly beautiful young woman, almost dreamlike in her beauty, was massaging the shoulders of a seemingly otherworldly young man. Although she was pouting and looking unhappy, she still obediently extended her fair, white wrist.

"This is unbelievable! Am I seeing things? Has that little witch changed her nature?" The old man rubbed his eyes.

The old war emperor beside him replied, "I think it's most likely not an illusion."

In the past, the two of them followed Ye Qingxian to the borderland imperial pass for an appointment, and gradually learned some of the latter's background, which they kept to themselves.

Seeing this scene now, I naturally feel incredulous, and I am even more curious about the true identity of that young man.

Just as the two were hesitating about whether to go over, they suddenly heard another strange conversation.

"Put some effort into it. Haven't you eaten? What a waste of such beautiful hands."

"That's outrageous! What kind person would let me give them a massage?"

"What a coincidence, that's me."

"Ugh! You're so infuriating! Can't you understand sarcasm?"

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor and the War Emperor looked at each other, hardly believing their ears.

"How about... we leave?" the War Emperor tentatively suggested.

"Okay, come again next time."

The celestial being hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

However, in the next instant, he suddenly found himself spinning around him. When things calmed down again, he was standing in front of Ye Qingxian and the mysterious young man. As for the War Emperor, he had already disappeared.

"This old man greets Your Majesty!"

The old man was terrified, for the opponent's methods were unheard of, and he was definitely a legendary supreme-level powerhouse.

And for some reason, I felt an almost instinctive fear in his presence.

"Are you the old Celestial from the Celestial Race?" Chen Wu asked casually.

Although he was said to be an ancient being, he was indeed thin and gray-haired, but a flame of life burned within him, making him vigorous and full of vitality.

This state is similar to taking a elixir, which extends one's lifespan.

"Your Majesty, I am the Celestial Being!"

"I've heard that the laws of your Celestial Race are very interesting. Could you explain them to me?"

Indeed, the reason Chen Wu summoned the Heavenly Man was because he was very interested in his teachings.

Heaven and Man, Heaven and Man, "Man" is only the starting stage. If you want to become a true master, you must evolve to the ultimate realm - "Heaven", and then integrate into a higher level of life.

Throughout history, powerful members of the Celestial Race have explored this path. To increase their chances of success, most of them would fuse with the Destiny Stone and initiate Nirvana.

The Three Stones Heavenly Lord mentioned earlier is the most outstanding one among them, having successfully fused three Destiny Stones, hence the title Three Stones Heavenly Lord.

Strangely, this path is remarkably similar to the "Transforming Heavenly Mind and Holy Spirit Method" pioneered by Chen Wu.

However, Chen Wu has successfully completed the process of "transforming from man to heaven" and is now exploring "from heaven to man". To the old heavenly being, he is the ultimate form, which is why he instinctively feels fear.

"Since Your Majesty is interested, I am willing to offer my humble opinion as a starting point, hoping to provide you with some inspiration."

Lao Tianren was so eager to improve that he shared all his insights without any hesitation.

Several hours later, he returned with a bountiful harvest.

……

"I'm exhausted, I'm not doing this anymore. How can you treat someone like this? I'm not a maid."

Ye Qingxian rubbed her wrists and began to complain.

Chen Wu ignored her and silently savored the cultivation methods of the Celestial Race.

The Heavenly Beings certainly reaped a great harvest, but that was because their level of cultivation was too low; a little bit of food was enough for them to eat until they were stuffed.

In contrast, Chen Wu made a huge profit. He used a similar concept to reflect on his past shortcomings, strengthened his foundation, and then deduced a suitable method for sublimation.

"Hey!"

Ye Qingxian suddenly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "What about the promised reward? You're not going back on your word, are you?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Chen Wu brushed the jade-like hand away. "I will definitely give you what I promised."

"Do you really have something that can replace the soul of the Bell of No End?" Now it was Ye Qingxian's turn to be surprised.

Few in the world know that she is essentially a divine thought from the future, and can only walk in the world by relying on the soul of the Endless Bell. This is a kind of divine form in the immortal path.

Coincidentally, Chen Wu was the only one who knew the inside story.

His solution was simple—to replace it with another immortal form.

What exactly is it?

The answer is the last part of the supreme Dao seed of heavenly beings throughout eternity: the human race.

The Heavenly Seed—belonging to the witch, remained in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The Seed for Mending the Sky—belonging to Shen Yan, has already entered another realm.

Human race – Belongs to Ye Qingxian, she comes from the future and can perfectly adapt to the human body secret realm method.

The three parts of heaven and man achieve eternal calamity.

Thus began Chen Wu's sixth transformation, officially embarking on his journey.
