The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 264 From Heaven to Man
The next moment, Chen Wu moved and entered the ten-foot-long stone chamber.

Swish!
In an instant, his figure became blurry, appearing and disappearing as if he might vanish from here at any moment.

"The transformation of the new generation hinges on this moment."

Chen Wu murmured to himself, neither happy nor sad, his voice ethereal and otherworldly.

Wow…

Time and space are disordered, cause and effect are intertwined, and a series of chaotic images flash rapidly before his eyes.

Looking back on this transformative journey, it began with the great battle in the long river of time, followed by a dream of ancient times, passing through the desolate imperial pass, another world, the Boundless Heaven, the Realm of the Void Gods, the forbidden zone of the Yin-Yang Cross, and finally stopping at the place that connects the past and the present.

Along the way, I have experienced many things and met many people, such as Wuzhong, Liudao Lunhui, Qingyue Fairy, Shi Hao, Meng Tianzheng, and the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

These people, whether actively or indirectly, allowed Chen Wu to learn the unparalleled cultivation techniques of the Immortal Ancient and Chaotic Ancient cultivation systems, which he then used to reflect on his inner self and seek new breakthroughs.

More importantly, he left behind three invincible seeds.

Rumble!
At this moment, the long river of time emerges, the ancient road roars, and a sacrificial sound rises from the darkness, as if praying for something.

“My Way, my Law…” Chen Wu murmured.

The Supreme Dao Seed of Eternal Calamity is the embodiment of the Heavenly Heart Holy Spirit's achievements in this life, symbolizing the ultimate Dao fruit. Even if it is divided into three, it is still comparable to the most top-tier flawless immortal seeds, possessing infinite potential.

If one's only expectation for the future is to become a Celestial King and thus achieve immortality, then there is no need to do anything; just follow the established path. The worst consequence would be the loss of one's true spirit, becoming an alternative existence.

But if you want to reach your full potential, you must break free from the constraints and jump out of them, getting rid of their influence.

As the saying goes, though the will of Heaven and the Holy Spirit are good, they are not as good as those who transform people and bring them back to Heaven.

Therefore, after repeated deductions, Chen Wu finally determined a path of transformation that was unprecedented and unparalleled.

The starting point of this road is in the mythical era: a time of chaos, connecting the past and the present.

The core lies in the Chaotic Ancient Era: plant Dao Seeds as anchors, quietly wait for them to grow, so that they may reflect in the future, and then merge into the Gate of Immortality.

As for the final destination: it must return to the mythological era, thus forming a closed loop.

At this moment, Chen Wu felt his body, which seemed both real and illusory. Although he had separated three Dao Seeds, his body was not empty at all. Instead, a brand new vitality of the Great Dao was sprouting inside him.

That is a transformation method based on the "Dao Fruit Soldier Soul Forging Divine Embryo Method", which has been continuously sublimated and improved under the guidance of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

He couldn't help but sigh and whispered, "Stripping away the Dao Fruit, changing the world, thus breaking free from constraints, and achieving nirvana in this lifetime."

"This will be a very long experience, spanning two eras."

Then, he closed his eyes and comforted himself, "Fortunately, with the support of this ancient and modern land, I can overlook the long river of time and won't have to risk crossing it like before."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Wu vanished without a trace.

In an instant, a strange phenomenon occurred in the stone chamber. Chaotic light enveloped the chamber, and celestial mist shrouded it. His shadow was nowhere to be seen in the vast stone chamber.

"Click..."

Some traces quietly appeared on the stone wall. They were rough, ancient, mottled and blurred, as if they were created by the hand of a god, left over from an unknown and distant era.

If anyone were present at this moment, they would be surprised to find that Chen Wu's shadow seemed to be among those traces.

"My true spirit returned to the mythical era, while my Dao fruit was separated in the chaotic ancient era. One day, the two will reunite, and I will return."

As a desolate and lonely sound rang out and echoed in the void, the traces began to move the next moment. It was as if a historical scroll was slowly unfolding, engraving vicissitudes and writing civilization.

However, what it depicts is not the past or present, but the era of the Sky-Covering Era after countless years.

……

In the vast universe spanning nine heavens and ten earths, time flies by in the blink of an eye; almost instantly, we arrived at the 500,000th year of the Celestial Venerable Era (i.e., the 500,000th year of the Mythological Era).
This is a special point in time. In addition to being a round number, many things happened during this period, which will surely leave a significant mark on history and be remembered by people.

Because, around that year, the universe began to change.

The Great Dao has become active again, spiritual energy is gradually increasing, and all regions are becoming suitable for cultivation once more, which makes all cultivators cheer and extremely excited.

When later generations read through this history, they will mostly have questions: why did things suddenly go through such a difficult period when everything was developing so well?
It should be noted that since the beginning of the new era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have been developing steadily and positively, with Heavenly Venerable level powerhouses emerging one after another. Even if they experience a period of suppression of about ten thousand years after their passing, it will not affect the overall situation.

But now, it has suddenly encountered the most severe and longest suppression of the Great Dao. In nearly 100,000 years, only a handful of Quasi-Celestial Venerables have been born.

If the peak realm below the Heavenly Venerable is like this, then the Great Sages, Sage Kings, and Sages below them are not much better off. Their numbers are much fewer than before, almost a precipitous difference.

All of this is incredibly frustrating, but if we were to delve into the reasons behind it, we would have to mention a powerful being.

He is the most ruthless enlightened being in history, and also the longest-living "immortal" since the Eternal Celestial.

He stands alone in the heavens, shining eternally, dazzling and brilliant, as if he has seized all the wonders of the world.

People held Him in awe and regarded Him as a myth.

His title is: Lingbao Tianzun!

……

Xiaoyao Star, a small planet inhabited by life, is located right next to the Tongtian Starfield.

As the first stop on the ancient star trial path, this life-bearing star, though not large, has a high presence and is an essential path for all young prodigies.

Changfeng Ancient City

The largest city on Xiaoyao Star has a long history, which can even be traced back to the era of Cangxuan Tianzun.

According to records, when the ancient star road was being built on a large scale, it was fortunate enough to be chosen by that celestial being, and the teleportation altar was set up here.

Furthermore, another Celestial Venerable from later generations left behind a wondrous sight here, which led to its rapid development and expansion, attracting numerous cultivators to come.

On this day, Changfeng Ancient City was bustling with activity, just like any other day. The streets were filled with cars and people, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.

Teahouses are common gathering places for monks.

In a corner by the window, Chu Xiaoyao munched on a poria cocos cake while curiously listening to people's conversation.

"Have you heard? A few days ago, the Supreme Elder of the Chasing Wind Sect suddenly appeared in the world, which then attracted the Heavenly Tribulation of Saints."

"I already knew that. It's not just the Chasing Wind Sect. These days, many sects have had old monsters unsealed. It's quite lively."

"Doesn't that mean the revival of heaven and earth is real?"

"Of course, in reality, what's happening on Xiaoyao Star is just a small-scale operation. The real focus of the cultivation world is on Tongtian Ancient Star, especially the Guijian Sect."

At that moment, the bronze bell on the eaves of the teahouse suddenly rang without wind, and the discussion among the crowd came to an abrupt halt.

Chu Xiaoyao looked down and noticed that the teacup on the table was rippling with tiny waves.

Upon seeing this, the boy paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked up at the sky outside the window.

Rumble!
As dusk fell, a crimson cloud was seen devouring the starlight at an eerie speed, as if a wound had been torn open in the sky.

The divine power surged like a vast ocean, its momentum so great that it shook the entire Xiaoyao Star.

However, the crimson cloud quickly vanished without a trace, like a fleeting moment.
