Chapter 554 The Astonishing Moves of the Past Incarnation, Shocking Even Eternal Powerhouses
The old man guarding the grave shook his head.
"I don't know him, but his strength is probably no less than your father's."
Chen Bei was startled; sure enough, this senior also knew his father.
Moreover, Senior Jiang is stronger than his father? His father is very likely a God-Emperor level expert. What level is stronger than a God-Emperor?
Just who exactly is this Senior Jiang?
Chen Bei took a deep breath and clenched his fist.
These are things to consider later. Right now, no matter what, he finally has hope. His body has recovered, and his talent has returned.
Next, I need to work hard to cultivate myself, find my father, and uncover the truth.
Chen Bei turned around, looked at the old man guarding the tomb, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Senior, farewell."
The old man guarding the tomb nodded.
"Go."
Chen Bei strode towards the outside of the cemetery, his figure gradually disappearing into the sunlight.
……
At Shenfeng Academy, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to sort out what he had gained from this trip.
Dugu Potian's Nine Revolutions of Heaven-Defying Power, the Demon Ancestor's Supreme Demonic Art, and the Chen Family's Demon Summoning Scripture.
The Nine Revolutions Against Heaven: Each revolution is a life-or-death transformation. Upon completion of the Nine Revolutions, one defies Heaven and attains the Dao.
The core of this technique lies in the word "reverse," going against the heavens and defying the natural order. The more desperate the situation, the stronger the burst of power.
The Chen family's Demon Summoning Scripture is also a very special cultivation technique.
This technique was not created by Chen Ba, but is a supreme secret manual passed down from the ancestors of the Chen family. It was created by Chen Zu.
This is a supreme martial art that combines righteousness and demonic power. Cultivating it in accordance with the natural order is the righteous path, while cultivating it against the natural order is the demonic art.
It contains lost martial arts techniques such as the Divine Void Step, Dragon Capturing Hand, Seven Demon Blades Against Heaven, Heaven-Destroying Hand, and God-Trapping Finger.
After reading it for a while, Jiang Hao sighed, "It's really a good cultivation technique. Some of the concepts are very interesting. Ancestor Chen is indeed a talent. It's a pity that the Chen family has been corrupted."
This perfectly good cultivation technique has now been modified by Chen Da to awaken the power deep within one's bloodline and the ancient battle spirit dormant in one's body.
When the Summoning Scripture is cultivated to its ultimate level, it can summon the spirits of distant ancestors to fight alongside one.
Those heroic spirits were not illusions, but real battle souls, possessing all the combat power they had in life.
Each generation of Chen family members, as long as they can cultivate the Demon Summoning Scripture to a deep level, can summon the ancestral battle spirit to empower themselves, and then become an army by themselves, invincible.
However, it also has significant limitations.
Summoning a battle spirit comes at a price; at best, it severely damages one's vitality, and at worst, it shortens one's lifespan.
Moreover, the summoned battle spirits do not obey unconditionally—if the summoner's will is not firm, the battle spirits will turn against them.
Ultimately, they will all become puppets of Chen Da, the current head of the Chen family.
Jiang Hao carefully savored the essence of these three techniques.
The Nine Revolutions defy the heavens, the victory lies in transformation.
The Demon Ancestor's demonic arts are superior in their domineering and fierce nature.
The Demon Summoning Scripture excels in its unity of good and evil.
The three methods each have their own merits and each goes to extremes.
Jiang Hao compared these with what he had learned, learning from each other's strengths and making up for his weaknesses.
Deep within his mind, the Daoist principles flowed, radiating brilliance.
The profound truths of the Dao from different systems intertwined, collided, and merged in his heart.
At his level, any progress is invaluable.
"Buzz~"
Suddenly, Jiang Hao raised an eyebrow, and the sound of the river of time flowing suddenly rang out around him.
"They've finally arrived."
Jiang Hao smiled slightly; this was the message from his past self.
"The Heavenly Emperor treads upon the passage of time."
The river of time appears around me, shimmering and gurgling.
His consciousness traveled upstream along the river of time, passing through layers of temporal and spatial barriers, and established a connection with the figure sleeping deep in the years.
In the vast expanse of time and space, a figure stood between heaven and earth, surrounded by dazzling Dao light, as if he had merged with the entire world.
That was Jiang Hao's past self.
He was born in the very beginning of this world and has been accumulating for countless years.
He is no longer the simple incarnation he once was.
His aura intertwined with the world, as if he were a part of it.
No, not just seemingly, he is.
Jiang Hao's past self became the true "Heavenly Emperor" of this world.
Emperor of the Central Heaven, in the literal sense.
Holding the reins of power over heaven and earth, overlooking the birth and death of eras.
That superior attitude, that timeless majesty, surprised even Jiang Hao.
"That's really great."
Jiang Hao sighed softly, praising the past self's growth as exceptionally good.
This incarnation has become one of the oldest and most powerful beings in the world.
The past self opened its eyes and met Jiang Hao's gaze in the present.
In that instant, the river of time seemed to freeze.
His eyes held the vicissitudes of time; he was there when chaos first opened, when Tai Chi evolved, and when heaven and earth were first formed.
The insights accumulated over the years, the witnesses to the changing of eras, surged into Jiang Hao's heart like a tide.
This is the original Daoist rhythm before heaven and earth were separated.
Jiang Hao saw it all: he saw order emerge from chaos, he saw Yin and Yang emerge from nothingness, and he saw all things in heaven and earth unfold layer by layer from the simplest rules.
That is the trajectory of the Tao, the form of the origin.
Then a singularity appeared.
That tiny point is both infinitely small and infinitely large; it exists in nothingness, yet it encompasses the entire universe.
It is not in any place, yet every place is within it.
boom!
Soon, this singularity exploded.
It is not destruction, but rebirth. The primordial energy bursts forth from the exploding light, vast and boundless, without beginning or end.
A figure emerged from the radiance.
The figure was exactly the same as the one from before, exactly the same as Jiang Hao.
This is precisely the moment when the past self creates its own existence.
"So this is how you deceived the Heavenly Dao to become the Emperor of Heaven. As expected of me, you really have a way."
It can be said that, in this way, Jiang Hao's past status is infinitely high, and in the world of the Tomb Realm, he is in no way weaker than the Heavenly Dao of the Tomb Realm.
At this moment, Jiang Hao seemed to be a single being that truly existed in both the past and the present.
Endless insights flooded his mind, and Jiang Hao's aura became ethereal and illusory, as if he had merged with the river of time.
Jiang Hao exuded an ancient and weathered aura, as if he had weathered countless years and emerged from the long river of time.
Above the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, the phantom of a middle-aged man suddenly appeared.
The man was tall and strong, with a resolute face and a very imposing presence.
But the strangest thing was his state; he seemed to be in this space and time, yet he also seemed not to be there.
Like a lingering shadow projected from the distant past, it doesn't belong to this era.
The middle-aged man felt that familiar supreme aura, his body trembled slightly, and an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face.
"Heavenly Emperor...is that you? Are you returning?"
In the central part of the Tianyuan Continent lies a renowned forbidden land, a place of extreme danger where all sorts of terrifying events occur, and even gods and demons cannot escape its clutches. It is known as a death trap.
But few people actually know that there is a passage connecting the human world and the heavenly world here.
What even fewer people know is that this is the tomb of a powerful figure who has been renowned throughout history.
Deep within the desolate land, eight enormous demonic caves are arranged in a circle.
Each of the demonic caves was bottomless, with black mist surging out from within, like eight giant black dragons soaring into the sky.
The edge of the cave entrance was covered with densely packed ancient runes, dark red like blood, radiating a captivating light.
The strange iron chain was engraved with eerie runes, and it was also pulsating slightly.
They stretched across the Demon Cave, extending towards a massive black bone bed in the center.
