The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 251 Iron-Blooded Longbow
It does not rely on external things, but takes its own body as its seed.

This idea is amazing; countless heroes have tried it since the beginning of time.

Because invincible Dao seeds are extremely rare, there are only a handful of them, such as World Tree seedlings, Cosmic embryo seeds, Primordial Purple Qi seeds, and Celestial Dome seeds. They are basically all deliberately sealed and left behind by the ancestors of the previous era, otherwise they would be extremely difficult to obtain.

Therefore, Meng Tianzheng read through countless ancient books, drawing on the experience and wisdom of his predecessors, all in an effort to thoroughly explore this path.

But he eventually discovered that the road was blocked, and he almost perished because of it.

Upon suddenly hearing Chen Wu mention it, Meng Tianzheng was greatly surprised and immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Weiyang, are you also trying it?"

"What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wu smiled, his entire being inexplicably exuding an aura of immortality, too profound and unparalleled.

At this point, Meng Tianzheng suddenly realized that he couldn't tell what kind of cultivation method the other party was practicing.

Ancient methods? The flavor is similar, but even more mysterious and unpredictable.

The current method? The energy mechanisms are similar, yet it is superior.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, is the Great Dao you cultivate an ancient immortal method, or a method of this world?" Meng Tianzheng asked, his gaze intense.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, whether it's the modern method or the ancient method, the paths lead to the same destination. What we two are pursuing is nothing more than the word 'immortality'," Chen Wu replied quietly.

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianzheng was stunned and stood frozen in place.

"Yes, all I seek is to become an immortal!" After a long while, he finally exclaimed.

Becoming an immortal is the lifelong pursuit of all cultivators in the human realm. Even Meng Tianzheng himself is on this path. Without becoming an immortal, one can never achieve immortality.

But looking around, there were very few companions. Perhaps Wang Changsheng of the Wang family could be considered one, but people like Jin Taijun were completely unqualified.

"Is another one here now?" Meng Tianzheng thought to himself.

……

To be fair, Chen Wu's visit this time was certainly not just to watch the old man fish for turtles.

Even though Meng Tianzheng is extremely powerful, having already touched upon the realm of immortality, in terms of cultivation level, he still surpasses later generations' Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, Longevity Celestial Venerable, Chaos Celestial Venerable, and so on.

His real purpose was to find a method of transformation in the latter, a method of transformation that could truly inspire him.

"I see. I thought there was no one ahead of me, but I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Weiyang would also be on this path." Meng Tianzheng said with emotion and gladly expressed his opinion.

"Very well, the essence of cultivation lies in communication, so let me, the host, first explain my own path."

As soon as he finished speaking, his brow glowed, and a dark red bow quietly appeared, its surface still covered in dried blood, exuding a murderous aura.

"Fellow Daoist, watch closely!"

Then, Meng Tianzheng slowly began to draw his bow.

*Sizzle!*
The bowstring kept ringing, shaking the heavens.

Almost in the blink of an eye, countless laws of the Great Dao automatically converged into arrows, gleaming with a cold light.

Before the arrow was even released, countless massive cracks in the void spread out from the arrowhead.

At this moment, the sun and moon lost their light, the universe lost its color, and an incomparably terrifying power was frantically accumulating, as if it were about to pierce the sky.

Meanwhile, in every corner, big or small, of the Heavenly God Academy

Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder... one after another, the white-bearded old men dropped what they were doing and looked over, their expressions solemn and dignified.

It should be noted that the elders of the Heavenly God Academy are all extraordinary figures, each with an extremely high status that makes them feared by various powerful forces.

However, they were all deeply moved and shocked. "The First Elder used his Ironblood Longbow!" the Fourth Elder exclaimed.

The Third Elder stroked his long beard, somewhat uncertainly saying, "It seems to be the weapon Brother Meng used when he was young. It has actually reappeared?"

When he was young, the Grand Elder Meng Tianzheng tried to use his own body as a seed, but he did not succeed. At the last moment, an accident occurred, and he almost perished, which delayed him for a long time.

At that time, his weapon was a longbow of invincible iron and blood, which would surely cause rivers of blood to flow as soon as it appeared, and no one could stop it.

However, in that accident, the Iron-Blooded Longbow was destroyed along with Meng Tianzheng, leaving it in a state of partial ruin.

Rumors circulated that the bow had incurred divine punishment for its excessive killings, thus causing its owner to suffer greatly and become partially crippled.

Regardless of the truth, Meng Tianzheng was never seen using it again.

However, no one expected that after so many years, the Iron-Blooded Longbow would reappear.

"They're all fine, they can't just suddenly start fighting, can they?" the Fourth Elder pondered.

"No, no, it's just fishing." He immediately shook his head, denying his guess.

I recently returned from the Grand Elder's dojo. Although I witnessed the two fishermen secretly vying for power, I don't think they would fall out over such a trivial matter.

Otherwise, it would be a laughing stock.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Elder released a divine thought to reassure everyone: "Everyone, disperse. These are two supreme experts discussing the Dao. Everything is normal."

……

On the other side, above the muddy pond,

The Ironblood Longbow continues to accumulate divine power, poised to unleash its power.

The gluttonous and cowardly Eight Treasures Turtle had never seen such a scene before. It was so frightened that it stood frozen in place, not even having the courage to burrow into the muddy pond to escape.

“Fellow Daoist Weiyang, please look. This bow, though ominous, represents my pursuit of immortality. Half of my life’s hopes are contained within it. Even if I cannot become an immortal in the future, I will still show my final glory on the battlefield.”

After saying this, Meng Tianzheng's full head of black hair danced wildly, his expression solemn.

Chen Wu exclaimed in admiration, "You can draw your bow like a full moon, gaze at the border, and shoot down the heavenly wolf. Fellow Daoist Meng, your spirit is astonishing. I admire you greatly."

In his opinion, that bow was indeed extraordinary, with a hidden secret within.

A figure could be vaguely seen lurking inside, its face clearly resembling Meng Tianzheng, with blood, flesh, and even bones.

Chen Wu knew that it was a divine embryo, or perhaps a celestial embryo.

If one day it is fully conceived and born naturally, it will merge with the true form and may ascend to the celestial realm.

"The fruits of the past and the achievements to come have remained to this day, all contained within this bow."

Meng Tianzheng gently stroked the large bow with his hand, but his eyes held a firm resolve.

He sacrificed himself for his cause, but at the last moment, he encountered an accident and nearly died tragically.

Finally, having no other choice, he severed his useless body and buried part of his true spirit in his personal weapon, the Ironblood Longbow, to seal and nurture it.

It must be said that Meng Tianzheng is truly amazing. After failing to use his body as a seed, he was destined to die, but he defied fate and rose again, and may even become a true immortal.

Such talent and perseverance would be second to none even in the era of Shrouding the Heavens.

“Therefore, my future is already fixed. I will either successfully take the final step or die in battle. There is no other way.” Meng Tianzheng said to himself, “On the other hand, Fellow Daoist Weiyang, you are the first cultivator in the human realm that I cannot see through. In terms of achievements and talent, you are far above me.”

"Fortunately, I'm certain you're on our side. Otherwise, I would have taken you with me even if it meant our mutual destruction!" he said seriously.
