The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 278 My name is Chen Wu
"How can there be two people in the world who look so alike, completely identical, with no difference at all?" Xu Dong murmured to himself.

Because of the corpse disaster, his ancestor Lingbao Tianzun had a special feeling towards Dujie Tianzun. Although he didn't like him at all, it would be a bit much to say that he hated him.

Anyway, as far as Xu Dong knew, when Lingbao Tianzun was in his later years, he brought back a painting from his burial site, which clearly depicted the image of a fat man.

It was only later that I learned that it was the legendary Heavenly Venerable who had transcended tribulation, who had lived for four or five hundred thousand years. The Heavenly Venerable Lingbao also often gazed at that painting, and I wonder what he thought.

As a result, not only Xu Dong, but also the successive sect leaders, formation masters, and elders of Guijian Sect were deeply impressed by the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable.

Now, upon suddenly seeing that person reappear in the world, Xu Dong was naturally shocked. However, after a thorough examination, he found nothing unusual, as if it was simply a matter of resemblance.

"What's your name? Where are you from?" Xu Dong asked, scrutinizing you.

"I'm innocent! My name is Chen Wu, just an unknown rogue cultivator. I haven't done anything immoral. You've arrested the wrong person."

Cao Yusheng shouted, and as if possessed, he made up an alias on the spot.

"is it?"

Xu Dong was skeptical, but then he pulled out a large pile of things from his mind, including the Medicine King, Divine Source, rare materials, etc., a dazzling array of items.

Even Xu Dong glanced at it a couple more times.

"Hmm? You, a mere rogue cultivator, actually possess immortal gold?"

He held a fist-sized piece of black gold with dragon patterns between two fingers and waved it in front of the fat man.

"No way, not again? This is the wealth I've built up over the long years of my comeback!"

At this moment, Cao Yusheng felt as if his heart was bleeding, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

But then, as if realizing something, he muttered to himself, "Hmm? Why did I say 'again'? Could it be that my premonition was true? Were we really rich before, but then a misfortune struck and our family fell into decline?"

On the other side, Xu Dong finally noticed the anomaly. He was both angry and amused, and said, "No wonder you, a rogue cultivator, are so wealthy. You're a tomb raider."

After speaking, he looked towards the distant horizon, where the Guijian Sect's chariots covered the sky, blotting out the sun, a truly magnificent sight of an entire force emerging.

"It's time to reunite with my nephew. The Heavenly Venerable's Tomb must not be touched by outsiders," Xu Dong muttered to himself.

……

Woohoo!

After fleeing for a while, a dark wind suddenly howled in the sky, and countless array patterns appeared, instantly covering an area of ​​thousands of miles.

"Someone set up a grand formation in advance?" Chu Xiaoyao was taken aback.

Around it, malevolent energy surged and demonic light swirled, like an endless fire burning fiercely. Furthermore, altars made of white bones appeared, completely sealing off and isolating the place.

“Something’s not right. This is the Heaven-Sealing, Earth-Locking Corpse-Refining Formation, created by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao before he attained enlightenment. It once refined several ancient corpses of quasi-celestial venerable level to death in one go. I’ve read about it in ancient books. If you want to break through by force, you have to be at least one realm higher than the one who set up the formation.” Zhao Yuanxing’s eyes widened, his expression solemn.

"Master, you even know this?" Chu Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised.

"I haven't settled accounts with you yet. When did you become so powerful that your strength surpasses mine?" Zhao Yuanxing glared at his disciple, his face grim.

Turning his head, he began to mutter again: "Let's think of a way to escape first. This time we've really fallen into that fat guy's trap. We've been hunting geese all day, but we've been pecked in the eye by the goose."

“Something’s fishy. We’re just selling fake information to scam some rogue cultivators. It’s impossible for us to attract the attention of the Guijian Sect unless what Fatty Cao gave us is real,” Chu Xiaoyao analyzed.

"You guessed right!"

At this moment, outside the great formation, a figure appeared out of thin air, surrounded by black clouds, with only a pair of eyes shining like demonic stars, flashing with a sinister light.

"It's you, the true inheritor of the Guijian Sect's formation techniques!" Chu Xiaoyao's heart sank immediately. He had previously met the Heavenly Venerable in the Sea of ​​Wheels and had a deep impression of those eyes.

"Who? The true master of the Guijian Sect's formations?" Zhao Yuanxing, standing to the side, also sensed that something was amiss. He hadn't expected to encounter such a powerful figure.

In the dark clouds, Wu Gen's silhouette was barely visible, but his voice made Chu Xiaoyao lose his composure.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that you would come back like me!"

"What? You..." Chu Xiaoyao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Surprised, aren't you?"

Wu Gen sneered, "Don't bother looking. My martial uncle isn't here, and he doesn't have any unusual memories. Only you and I are different."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoyao's gaze became extremely solemn, and he subconsciously asked, "What exactly happened in the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Wheels that day? Did we really go back to the past?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

After saying that, Wu Geng opened his right hand, and an ancient bronze lamp immediately appeared, emitting a faint, mysterious light.

"However, there is one thing I can tell you: this Celestial Venerable's tomb is probably fake. I have never seen any record of it in the sect's ancient books before."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoyao froze on the spot, his mind reeling with turbulent emotions.

When he first woke up from his coma, he mistakenly thought he had traveled back in time, even though it was absurd. He just couldn't find any evidence to prove it was fake.

Subsequently, the fat Taoist Cao Yusheng appeared and brought news of the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable's tomb, which directly made him deny his original idea and believe that it should be an extremely real illusion.

Right now, the true inheritor of the Guijian Sect's formation techniques is just like him. Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyao felt a chill in his heart.

“Since we all have different memories, why don’t we join forces and study together?” he said earnestly, trying to ease tensions.

"You are fine!"

Wu Gen laughed, not directly answering Chu Xiaoyao's question, but looking at Zhao Yuanxing, who had been knocked unconscious, and said, "No wonder you were able to break through my formation earlier, so you are Senior Zhao's disciple."

"Senior Zhao?" Chu Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

"Didn't your master tell you? His surname is Zhao, and he comes from the Zhao family of the Human Trial Road. He originally belonged to the main branch, but because of his dullness and his personality, he took the initiative to leave the family and live a carefree life."

“As for the Zhao family, they have a significant connection with my Guijian Sect. The two major forces have always exchanged resources. In fact, they are a generation above me, which means we are from the same generation,” Wu Gen said calmly.

"So Master wasn't joking after all. He really is from a powerful family!" Chu Xiaoyao suddenly realized.

The Zhao family, who rose to prominence during the time of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, served as the first guide to the Holy City and was highly valued by the Heavenly Venerable.

Then, when the era of Lingbao Tianzun's rise came, the current family head Zhao Xingyi once again placed his bets on Lingbao Tianzun. For him, he did not hesitate to go to war with Yinghuo Ancient Star. In the end, the Zhao family received a very generous reward.

Having stood for over 100,000 years and having established connections with two unparalleled celestial beings, this is the source of the Zhao family's confidence and pride.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense, it's time." Wu Gen took a deep breath and then activated the great formation.

woo woo woo...

In the next instant, an immense pressure descended from the sky, forming a boundless net that was sparse yet thorough, majestically suppressing the earth's veins.

"I understand now. This great formation isn't aimed at us, but rather at locking onto the tomb of Lingbao Tianzun. It's constantly moving."

Upon seeing this, Chu Xiaoyao suddenly had a sudden realization.
