The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 250 The Fisherman, as a Seed

At this moment, most others would be completely baffled, because only those at the Supreme level or above could see that hidden in the endless abyss beneath the muddy pond was a celestial abode, which had been sealed away.

Meng Tianzheng fiddled with a broken bamboo pole and even went so far as to use sacred medicine as bait in order to lure out what was inside the immortal's cave.

With Chen Wu's skill, he had already seen through the situation, so he simply joined him for a while to fish.

……

After a few hours,
The Fourth Elder, driven by intense curiosity, volunteered to report the news, only to witness a scene that left him nearly speechless.

Two cultivators, one old and one young, were seen fishing in the muddy pond, each holding a bamboo root, while a stove was lit nearby.

The older one was naturally the Grand Elder Meng Tianzheng, and the younger one was none other than Chen Wu.

“Fellow Daoist Meng, there’s a lot to know about fishing. You can’t just look at whether the bait is high-grade. You have to use the right bait for the right fish, otherwise you’ll most likely come up empty-handed,” Chen Wu said earnestly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the bamboo pole in his hand shook, and he pulled up a plump dragonfish.

In just a few hours, this was the thirty-seventh time, and the things caught were all sorts of things.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, how is it?"

As he spoke, Chen Wu deliberately placed the dragonfish in front of the stove, whether to warm himself by the fire or to intimidate it was unclear.

In short, a moment later, he casually threw it back into the muddy pond.

Meng Tianzheng watched it from beginning to end, his lips twitching slightly.

"The friendly manners of the guests from Weiyang are beyond my reach, even in my old age."

Although he didn't understand what "Air Force" meant, he roughly guessed it.

It's unbelievable! Ever since that eight-treasure turtle, he hasn't caught anything else. He can only watch Chen Wu catch one fish after another, then throw them back into the muddy pond with a look of disgust.
The bait used by the other party was clearly just a medicinal herb that they had randomly picked from the surrounding area.

"Could it be that the sacred medicine can only be used to catch turtles?"

At this moment, Meng Tianzheng couldn't help but start to doubt the meaning of life.

Just then, he spotted the Fourth Elder pacing back and forth not far away. He immediately threw down his bamboo pole and beckoned the latter over.

"what happened?"

"Brother Meng, there's news about the wilderness you've been keeping an eye on."

"Huh? You mean Huang? Didn't he disappear?" Meng Tianzheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light upon hearing this. "Where is he?"

The Fourth Elder replied, "Just now, news came that Huang arrived alone in Wuliangtian and was exiled by Yuan Qing to the Primordial Ancient Mine."

"The Primordial Ancient Mine? That's a mysterious place, and the things buried inside are too amazing. Has Huang gone in?" Meng Tianzheng pondered.

The Fourth Elder added, "The news has not yet been made public. Only you and I know about it within the entire academy. I have already sent people over there, hoping to rescue him."

"Well, hopefully it's not too late." Meng Tianzheng nodded.

……

After the Fourth Elder left, Meng Tianzheng returned to the spot and picked up the bamboo pole again.

He seemed preoccupied and unable to calm down completely.

Unexpectedly, the bamboo pole in his hand suddenly started moving again.

Gum!

Meng Tianzheng pulled him up in a flash, but when he saw what it was, he couldn't help but laugh.

It turns out to be the same Eight Treasures Turtle from before. This guy never learns from his mistakes and has his eye on the sacred medicine again.

This time, Meng Tianzheng didn't give it a chance. He grabbed the snake by the tail and lifted it to the stove, and started to intimidate it, just like Chen Wu did.

"Does Fellow Daoist Meng have something on his mind?" Chen Wu asked. "Alas, Fellow Daoist Weiyangke has a discerning eye!" Meng Tianzheng sighed, "A young man I had high hopes for has finally been found after he went missing. He is outstanding, having cultivated three strands of immortal energy on his own. Perhaps he is the hope for the future."

"However, such a brilliant genius was sent to the Primordial Ancient Mine on his way to the Heavenly God Academy. That place is very strange, and even I dare not venture in rashly."

"Fellow Daoist Weiyangke, tell me, what's the difference between those people and it?"

As he spoke, Meng Tianzheng picked up the Eight Treasures Turtle that was pretending to be dead in his hand, "The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are clearly in such danger, and a great war is about to begin, yet you only care about your immediate personal interests, disregard the overall situation, and even destroy your own Great Wall."

"Heh, Fellow Daoist Meng, you really overestimate them." Chen Wu sneered. "In my opinion, those people are not even as good as the Eight Treasures Turtle. At least the Eight Treasures Turtle really works and can restore people's blood and energy. But what about them? They only bully their own people."

This statement seemed to have a hidden meaning, but Meng Tianzheng quite agreed with it.

Having cultivated for so long, he had witnessed too many despicable things, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had not yet purged those parasites.

"I've heard that Fellow Daoist Weiyang has a close relationship with Huang?" Meng Tianzheng suddenly asked.

Chen Wu did not answer, which was taken as tacit acceptance of the other party's question.

Seeing this, Meng Tianzheng couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be your disciple, fellow Daoist?"

“Fellow Daoist Meng is mistaken.” Chen Wu immediately denied, “Huang is a special person to me. Even if I wanted to take on a disciple, it would not be him.”

"Is that so?" Meng Tianzheng frowned, somewhat puzzled.

The next moment, he suddenly heard Chen Wu say, "However, in my opinion, Huang is very suitable for Fellow Daoist Meng. One day in the future, he will surely be able to inherit your mantle, carry it forward, and create unprecedented miracles."

This extremely high praise surprised and puzzled Meng Tianzheng.

His knowledge of the wilderness was entirely limited to information on paper. He only knew that the young man came from the lower realm of the Three Thousand Dao States, was a descendant of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands, and was slandered as a sinful bloodline.

Although her talent is indeed extraordinary and amazing, there are still geniuses who can rival her.

"Fellow Daoist Weiyang, what makes you say that?" Meng Tianzheng couldn't help but ask.

Chen Wu did not give a direct answer, but instead put away the bamboo pole in his hand and took out the bait to feed the eight-treasure turtle.

"No need to fish anymore. There's nothing Fellow Daoist Meng is looking for in that underground immortal cave."

"How did you know, fellow Daoist..." Meng Tianzheng asked subconsciously.

"An invincible seed." Chen Wu interrupted him directly, "Isn't what you're seeking just an invincible seed? Since it's not there, why persist?"

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianzheng's eyes suddenly became incredibly deep, as if he could see into the depths of the underworld.

Before this, he had always regarded Chen Wu as an equal supreme being, believing that the latter should be the kind that kept a low profile and had never left his mark in ancient history.

Now, he has finally put away his carefree attitude and begun to look up to the former with the attitude of a junior.

"Did you come here on purpose to give me some pointers, senior?" Meng Tianzheng asked with a serious expression.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, it's already quite good for us to address each other as fellow Daoists; let's skip the 'senior' thing!"

At this moment, Chen Wu spoke in a low, melancholic tone.

Although in the path of cultivation, those who have attained enlightenment are considered teachers, strictly speaking, he comes from a later era, and every being in the Chaotic Ancient Era is his predecessor in the literal sense.

The reason for using the name "Weiyangke" as a substitute is largely due to this consideration.

"According to you, since there are no more invincible species, what's the point of fishing?"

After saying this, Meng Tianzheng and Meng Tianzheng discarded the bamboo poles and retrieved the sacred medicine.

The next moment, Chen Wu's words shocked him, and his heart was filled with turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.

“Indeed, if there is no invincible species, then we might as well use ourselves as the species and refine our true self.”
