The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 277 Eternal Heavenly Venerable Above
Lingbao Tianzun!

His tomb roams the distant stars, appearing and disappearing like a giant whale diving into the abyss, attracting many to chase after it.

A few days ago, it manifested as a bronze gate in the Crimson Blood Ridge of the Northern Region, and a few days later it transformed into a wisp of purple aura in the sky of the Southern Region and gradually dissipated.

A cultivator chased after it for 30,000 miles on his sword, but could only watch helplessly as the phantom of the tomb sank into the earth's veins, causing the surrounding endless mountains to rumble simultaneously.

"It's shifted again!"

On this day, gasps of surprise erupted in front of the ancient city of Changfeng.

A spiderweb-like pattern of light appeared on the northwest horizon, and countless illusory swords guarded a white jade altar as they broke through the air, faintly revealing some profound Daoist traces.

Many powerful figures narrowed their eyes; it was clearly a formation passed down by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao.

"I understand now! The true entrance must be that altar. Only through it can we enter the tomb of Lingbao Tianzun!" a cult leader shouted excitedly.

However, when the elders of various factions used forbidden artifacts to try to pinpoint its location, the entire white jade altar suddenly collapsed to the size of a mustard seed. When it unfolded again, it was already tens of thousands of miles away, disappearing in an instant.

……

After those powerful figures flew away across the void, Chu Xiaoyao and the old Taoist Zhao Yuanxing exchanged a silent glance amidst the bustling crowd below.

During this time, the two changed their identities and made a fortune by selling false information.

Now that this rare opportunity has presented itself, we certainly can't miss it.

Chu Xiaoyao took out a cracked tortoise shell and solemnly calculated the terrain, saying, "I observed that the Dao sword phantom just now secretly contained some kind of formation. I suppose the day when the Heavenly Venerable's tomb is broken is not far off."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the old Taoist priest Zhao Yuanxing unfurled a newly drawn silk map and shouted, "Latest survey, latest survey! The Supreme Elder of Guijian Sect, in conjunction with the Celestial Master, has successfully deduced that the relocation of Lingbao Tianzun's tomb follows a certain trajectory. It's all recorded here. If you want to seize this opportunity and ascend to heaven in one step, don't miss it!"

As he spoke, a wisp of azure flame flickered at his fingertips, burning a mark on the map into the shape of a killing sword. "See that? The mark left during the third transformation of the Spirit Treasure Array is definitely a genuine product from the Returning Sword Sect..."

Taking advantage of this moment, Chu Xiaoyao secretly used some kind of technique, and the map immediately glowed. The phantom formed by starlight coincided with the lingering light of the array patterns on the horizon.

Upon seeing this scene, many cultivators present began to breathe rapidly, and some of the elders even trembled slightly as they stroked their beards.

However, there were still some sane individuals who expressed disdain, saying, "What a swindler! Who are you trying to fool? What kind of person is Lingbao Tianzun? How dare we rogue cultivators lay a finger on His tomb?"

"No, I am nearing the end of my life. I only ask to establish a good relationship and pass on this opportunity to you talented individuals. How could this be considered deception?"

Zhao Yuanxing lied without batting an eye, took two more steps forward, and said in a mysterious tone, "I know everyone is worried that Lingbao Tianzun, as a figure who looks down on the nine heavens and ten earths, must have a tomb full of deadly dangers. Even if a Great Sage enters, there is a risk of him perishing."

However, this time everyone was overthinking it. According to reliable sources, the Celestial Venerable Lingbao cares deeply for humanity, and His tomb wasn't filled with excessive killing intent, only endless array patterns reserved as a test. Therefore, theoretically speaking, even a minor cultivator at the Sea of ​​Wheels realm could receive astonishing fortune.

"Hmph, you cunning merchant, you only know how to use the name of Guijian Sect to deceive us rogue cultivators. Why don't you go to those great sects and holy lands? See if they believe you then." From the crowd, a fat Taoist priest with a large belly spoke up, his face full of disdain.

"How can you slander someone's innocence like this... You are not me, how do you know I haven't done it?" Zhao Yuanxing said naturally, without showing any guilt.

However, Chu Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised. He recognized the fat man in front of him as Cao Yusheng, who had recently approached them to discuss cooperation.

Although his appearance had also been altered, under his penetrating vision, the other party had nowhere to hide, and his lewd demeanor was laid bare.

At this moment, Cao Yusheng smiled and secretly sent a divine thought: "Young brother is indeed extraordinary. You have surpassed your master at such a young age. If the holy sons and daughters of those great sects knew, they would probably be ashamed."

After hearing this, Chu Xiaoyao's expression turned serious, and he also communicated with his divine sense: "Fellow Daoist Cao, what exactly is your purpose?" When he first woke up, his five great secret realms were sealed, and his strength plummeted to the bottom. After these days of exploration and research, he has gradually recovered most of his strength.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble and to better investigate the truth, he chose to observe the situation and stay by his master's side.

As a result, even Zhao Yuanxing, who had been with him day and night, couldn't see through it, but the fat Taoist Cao Yusheng saw through it at a glance.

"Haha, little brother, don't worry, I won't reveal your strength." Cao Yusheng laughed.

Suddenly, he shouted at the top of his lungs, as if trying to attract everyone's attention, "Fellow Daoists of Guijian Sect, those two thieves who betrayed core secrets are right here. If we don't arrest them now, when will we?"

"you……"

Chu Xiaoyao's expression changed, and he immediately pulled his master Zhao Yuanxing away.

boom!
In an instant, a mysterious and powerful being tore through the void and unleashed a beam of destructive light that fell down, indestructible and piercing through mountains.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Xiaoyao took off running at breakneck speed, demonstrating the full extent of the word "speed".

"You son of a bitch, Fatty Cao, you betrayed us!" Zhao Yuanxing finally realized what was happening and cursed loudly.

Soon, the two disappeared into the horizon.

Only Cao Yusheng remained, smiling as he spoke: "Fellow Daoist, this is also part of the plan. I can only trouble you two for now. I will miss you both later."

"Really? Then are you aware of the saying, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'?"

At that moment, an old voice suddenly rang out, startling the fat man so much that he trembled and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Who is it? Step forward, Daoist Master!" Cao Yusheng looked around, his previous cunning demeanor vanishing without a trace.

Then he saw an old man with one eye and one arm, with a thin face and a vigorous body.

tyrannical!

An overwhelming and overwhelming force—that was Cao Yusheng's first impression.

"What the hell!"

Seeing that he was no match for the enemy, the fat man immediately chose to run away as the best option.

The old man was none other than Xu Dong, the Supreme Elder of Guijian Sect, who had just been unsealed and was awakened by the appearance of the Heavenly Venerable's Tomb.

Unexpectedly, the moment Xu Dong saw Cao Yusheng, he immediately opened his single eye wide and shot out a terrifying light.

"Celestial Venerable of Tribulation...why do you look so much like the Celestial Venerable of Tribulation?"

Xu Dong reached out, pierced through the void, and grabbed the terrified fat man back.

There was a man whose face he had never seen before, yet that face remained unforgettable to him for eternity.

"By the Eternal Celestial Venerable, I am merely passing by. This expert, you have mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?" Cao Yusheng felt guilty and somewhat bewildered, especially when Xu Dong's only remaining eye was staring intently at him, making him feel as if he had been seen through from head to toe.
