Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 134 Token
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Wuji and Duan De hid in an ancient cave. The two slumped down against the wall, clearly exhausted.

Duan De turned his head and quietly sensed for a while before saying, "The pursuers aren't here. We can rest for a bit."

Upon hearing Duan De's words, Wuji finally relaxed, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Duan De said, "Wuji, these past three years you've followed me all over the country, making a name for yourself. What are your thoughts? Is this path of cultivation as you wished?"

Wuji, who had already reached the peak of the Sea of ​​Wheels realm, wailed, "Master, the cultivators I envisioned shouldn't be like this! I should have been a prodigy who would astound everyone, a legendary figure admired and challenged wherever I went. How did I become a tomb raider that everyone hates? This isn't right!"

Duan De said unhappily, "What tomb raiders? How can you talk like that? We are clearly archaeologists dedicated to exploring the origin and development of civilization and restoring and reproducing true history."

Wuji stared blankly and said weakly, "What's the difference? Everything we dug up is in our own pockets, isn't it? Even those historical truths are known only to us, and we haven't let anyone else know."

Duan De said, "You have no conscience! You were able to cultivate to this level entirely because I dug and excavated everywhere to gather enough resources, and you're blaming me for using dirty methods?"

Wuji painfully tugged at his hair: "My reputation as a tomb raider has spread far and wide. How am I supposed to become the number one young person of the ancient star of the primordial world?"

Duan De chuckled and said, "Why are you so concerned about that reputation? Tell me, looking at your outfit, is there any future in archaeology?"

Wuji was speechless for a moment. Now, his clothes were all woven from silkworm silk and refined gold thread, his hairpin was made of ten-thousand-year-old dragon wood, and he wore a string of sea marrow beads and a string of mountain crystal beads on his wrists. Around his neck hung a pendant made of divine purple gold.

Furthermore, at this moment, there was an artifact made from the main trunk of a towering Jianmu tree in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the other miscellaneous items were also rare treasures.

These were naturally obtained by following Duan De around digging up graves. Therefore, although he had a bad reputation and was often hunted down, he did acquire countless treasures that someone of his level could not possibly obtain.

Therefore, Wuji both loved and hated this profession.

Duan De continued, "As for the truth of history, do you think they care? They only need a historical truth that conforms to their own desires, not the real truth. In this situation, once the things we know are exposed, how many contradictions will be created, how much chaos will be caused?"

Wuji didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing that Wuji remained silent, Duan De sighed and said, "Alright, now that you've entered the sect, it's time for us to part ways."

Over the past three years, Duan De has confirmed Wuji's talent. In addition to his already powerful physique, he also possesses an extremely terrifying level of comprehension.

Although the method he cultivated in this life as the Underworld Lord was not suitable for Wuji, he still obtained the Daoist scriptures.

At times like these, the strongest foundational scriptures are the best remedy. No matter what path Wuji chooses in the future, it's always right to first cultivate the Daoist scriptures to build a solid foundation. Therefore, he passed on the Daoist scriptures of the Wheel Sea Realm to Wuji, of course, without any secret techniques, only the ancient scriptures.

It was during this process that he discovered Wuji could easily comprehend the Daoist scriptures and cultivate at an astonishing speed. Although this was the result of guidance from his own powerful avatar, Wuji's performance was still terrifying.

During those three years, Wuji even mastered some Source Techniques while tomb raiding with him. However, he did not pass on the complete Source Techniques to Wuji, but only the basic Source Techniques, which are equivalent to the Source Heavenly Book in later generations.

Therefore, Wuji now needs to go it alone to make his way in the world and receive some advanced guidance.

Wuji was startled by this and said, "Master, you didn't secretly dig up that powerful family's ancestral grave, so you're in such a hurry to run away, did you?" Duan De's carefully cultivated composure was completely shattered. He slapped Wuji on the head and said, "You brat, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Wuji said, "Isn't that so?"

Duan De was speechless for a moment.

He handed Wuji a token and said, "You can't keep doing archaeology with me forever, can you? I don't have anything else to teach you besides that."

Wuji took the token and found that it seemed to be an ordinary piece of jade, and it was broken and missing a corner.

After taking a closer look, Wuji was quite certain that this was just an ordinary piece of jade.

Wuji held the jade pendant in his hand and asked, "What is this jade pendant?"

Duan De sighed, "If you want to truly embark on the path to invincibility and become the number one person on the ancient star and even in the boundless starry sky, then take this. It's a token that will allow you to meet a very powerful cultivator. As for how much he will help you, that depends on your performance."

Wuji examined it over and over for a long time, but still couldn't help but say, "What use is this ordinary piece of jade? What powerful cultivator would use something like this as a token?"

Duan De scratched his head and said, "We've been adventuring together for three years. Don't you know me? Would I betray you?"

Wuji looked at him and couldn't help but say, "It's hard to say."

Duan De gritted his teeth. He rarely took this seriously, and this kid still didn't believe him?
Seeing that his expression was off, Wuji immediately said, "Then how should I find him?"

Duan De's expression softened, and he said, "When fate brings you together, he will naturally take the initiative to see you; when fate does not bring you together, even if you search high and low, you will not be able to see him."

Wuji frowned and said, "So mysterious? Is he even stronger than you, Master?"

Duan De said, "We've been hunted down for so many years, how do you know that your master is very strong?"

Wuji said, "Because you are too at ease, Master. During the time we were being chased, I never saw you get injured, and there was never a time when you were unprepared. So I concluded that you are definitely stronger than the people chasing us."

"At least, their level of understanding and knowledge is higher than theirs."

Duan De said, "You're quite perceptive."

But at that moment, divine senses swept over, and Wuji felt countless powerful auras surrounding him.

Wuji listened intently, only to hear someone shout, "This unscrupulous Taoist dares to disturb the ancestral graves of my Fang family! He's courting death! Does he think he can hide in an ancient cave and escape our senses? Attack him! Smash this entire mountain range! I refuse to believe he won't come out!"

Boom!
Wuji felt the mountain he was on shake, and even the countless array patterns flashing in the ancient cave could not stop the mountain from gradually cracking.

This is a legendary weapon! Someone is using a legendary weapon to bombard their hiding place!
