The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 252 Dao Fruit Soldier Soul Forging Divine Embryo

Chen Wu knew that the other party was not joking and was really capable of doing it.

In the original historical trajectory, the alien realm later launched a full-scale attack, and the supreme beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were besieged, suffering heavy casualties.

In order to resolve the crisis, Meng Tianzheng severed his own chance to become an immortal, causing the Divine Embryo Dao Fruit to be born ahead of schedule, annihilating all enemies in one fell swoop and intimidating all the powerful forces.

Then, an immortal (i.e., a true immortal) was forcibly sent from another realm. He chose to fuse with the demonic body and divine embryo, forcibly sublimating the Dao Fruit of a true immortal to fight for the pinnacle of his life, and successfully killed the immortal from the other realm, thus preventing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths from being enslaved and annihilated.

After the final battle, he left the desolate borderland alone, carrying an ominous air, his fate unknown.

This suggests that Meng Tianzheng is similar to the Void Emperor, both taking it upon themselves to protect all living beings and being selfless. If the two were to meet, they would likely have much in common to talk about.

"I apologize, Fellow Daoist Weiyang, I was too harsh just now."

Meng Tianzheng apologized promptly.

He then elaborated on his own path.

It is a rather unique method of transformation that requires the aid of weapons, preferably weapons used for proving one's Dao through the cultivation of both body and soul.

Integrating Dao fruits, spirit, and beliefs into weapons, using the weapon's soul as a carrier, and condensing a divine embryo is equivalent to a different kind of rebirth.

At the same time, the original entity is equally important and remains an independent entity.

Once the divine embryo is fully formed, all the divine essence within it is used to nourish the original body, and the divine embryo instantly transforms into a demonic body.

At that time, when gods and demons unite, the power they unleash will be enough to open the door to immortality in this era of great hardship.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, with this method, your name will be forever recorded in the history of cultivation," Chen Wu praised earnestly.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me!" Meng Tianzheng said modestly, "I don't deserve such praise."

The two began to discuss the Great Dao and verify the secrets of immortality; their simple words contained profound truths.

At this moment, even if the supreme ruler were to arrive, his eyes would light up, and he would be completely captivated.

Unfortunately, the one who had the chance to listen was a turtle lying on its back, foaming at the mouth.

Then, just as Chen Wu was about to reciprocate by sharing a transformative philosophy, Meng Tianzheng suddenly refused.

"What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?" Chen Wu asked, slightly surprised.

“Fellow Daoist Weiyang is very talented. I hope my method can serve as a starting point and bring you some help.” Meng Tianzheng shook his head. “As for me, forget it. I have reached a limit. Before the Divine Embryo is perfected, I can no longer continue to transform. I can only explore further on the existing foundation. Therefore, I give up this opportunity and only want to ask you for a favor.”

“Fellow Daoist Meng, please speak frankly. I can agree to anything within my power,” Chen Wu said.

"Haha, fellow Daoist is indeed straightforward."

Meng Tianzheng laughed loudly, then turned to look at the area beyond the muddy pond, his gaze solemn and meaningful.

“Those young people are all outstanding; they are the hope of the world. What they lack most right now is time.”

"Here, as the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy, I earnestly request that you, fellow Daoist, step forward and give a lecture to those young people. I don't need anything too profound, just enough to help them understand how to choose their future path, so that they won't be confused when faced with ancient and modern methods."

His voice rang out, filled with deep emotion and fervent expectation.

……

Under the close watch of the elders, the dialogue between the mysterious powerhouse and the Grand Elder lasted for several days.

Seven days later, the mysterious and powerful figure, whose age was unimaginable, finally left and returned directly to the Qingxi Youlin where Wang Xi was, refusing to see any guests from then on.

This left the Second Elder, Third Elder, and others who had intended to invite him feeling regretful. Only the Fourth Elder, who was ordered to enter the Grand Elder's dojo again, seemed to know something and busily began preparations.

Seeing this, the other elders went to probe him, but only got a strange remark from him that "turtle soup is delicious," leaving them completely baffled.

……

In the clear, secluded forest, the trees are lush and verdant, a thin mist hangs in the air, and the clouds and mist are brilliant.

"Why did you take so long?" The witch circled around Chen Wu, asking curiously, "How was the Grand Elder? Was he very powerful?"

Because the cave dwelling she applied for was a bit too big, and it would take some time before it was allocated, she was temporarily staying with Wang Xi.

Chen Wu took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "Not very good. He's good at nothing but catching turtles. A typical air-fisherman."

"Huh? Fishing for turtles? A short seller?"

Upon hearing this, the witch's eyelashes fluttered, and her lips unconsciously curled up slightly, turning her into a bewildered fox.

"You made such a big commotion the other day, and now you're telling me you were fishing for turtles?"

She suddenly realized what was happening and protested loudly, "Wei Yangke, you're fooling me again!"

At that moment, the rosy light of dawn shone down from the sky, creating ripples that carried an aura of holiness.

Wang Xi returned, her skin as white and radiant as snow, her clothes fluttering, and she landed directly in the secluded forest.

From afar, she heard the witch's flirtatious banter and perhaps guessed something. She looked at Chen Wu with a strange expression, her cheeks flushed.

"Sister Wang Xi, you've come at the right time. This guy said the Grand Elder only knows how to fish for turtles. Is that true?" the witch said irritably.

"This……"

Wang Xi was embarrassed because she didn't know either.

After taking a deep breath, she feigned composure and said, "We just received news that the opening time of the Immortal Battlefield has been roughly confirmed. We need to prepare as soon as possible."

"How much longer?" the witch asked.

“It’s been exactly one month. I’d like to take this time to recruit a few followers. Would you like to come with me?” Wang Xi asked.

Although she was asking the witch, her gaze was fixed on Chen Wu with a hint of anticipation.

"No need, you can go ahead," Chen Wu waved his hand in refusal.

As expected, Wang Xi will encounter Shi Hao, who is in disguise, on this trip. Shi Hao wears a Vajra Bracelet on his head, symbolizing his status as a slave of the Wang family, and thus takes the opportunity to sneak into the Heavenly God Academy.

"Never mind him, Sister Wang Xi, let's go," the witch said angrily.

"Alright then." Wang Xi sighed softly.

……

After the two women left,
In a stone chamber nestled in the secluded forest, a sudden burst of radiant light and auspicious rays filled the air.

Chen Wu sat quietly in the center of the stone chamber, organizing his recent gains and future plans.

The biggest takeaway from my previous discussion with Meng Tianzheng was the "Dao Fruit, Military Soul, and Divine Embryo Forging Method".

There are many paths between the realm of humanity and the realm of immortality. These paths intersect with each other, and it's not a matter of which is superior or inferior, but rather that they differ in difficulty.

Take the Dao Fruit Soldier Soul Forging Divine Embryo Method as an example; it is somewhat similar to the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's Primordial Spirit Dao Integration Soldier Method.

However, the latter completely abandoned the physical body, hoping to transform itself into a weapon deity, while the former nurtured the Dao fruit within the weapon, achieving both goals simultaneously.

The Azure Emperor also dismembered his physical body and used his primordial spirit to enter the Desolate Tower and create a Celestial Realm. This is a different kind of gameplay, and only those with the strength of a Celestial King can get involved.

In summary, the three paths mentioned above provided Chen Wu with considerable inspiration.

The main purpose of this trip to the Chaotic Ancient Era was, of course, to pursue the sixth transformation, from the heavens to humanity.

But as the Supreme Dao Seed of Eternal Calamity was divided into three parts, the plan proceeded smoothly, and deep in his heart, he also developed a new ambition.

That is, the problem of realizing the path to immortality.
