I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

Yuan Wang was a genius who independently researched the Source Arts to the realm of a Source Ground Master. However, lacking the inheritance of a Source Heaven Master and relying on his own research, his talent and aptitude weren't of the rarest kind. As he neared his death, he hadn't broken through to the Source Heaven Master realm.

As he weakened, the curse grew stronger, to the point where it had to be suppressed with a grand mountain and river formation.

The area was heavily sealed, with no obvious flaws to the average Source Art practitioner. However, the pervasive evil aura indicated a clear failure; they couldn't suppress Yuan Wang's transformation.

At the center of the mountain and river formation was a mound, upon which a stone coffin was placed, resembling an unburied grave.

"Who is it!"

A voice came from the stone coffin, ancient and weary, but alert.

After all, the area had been contaminated by the evil aura leaking from his body. Source Art practitioners entering would lose their minds and become mindless monsters. Ordinary cultivators couldn't stay long either, as they would encounter misfortune.

"A descendant of the Source Heaven Master lineage, Luo Mo, comes to pay respects."

Luo Mo spoke, his voice resonating, causing the evil aura to recede.

"Fellow Daoist, please be careful. I am close to losing control of myself."

Yuan Wang sat up from the stone coffin, a disheveled old man with white hair interspersed with strands of red. He looked thin and frail.

"I see that you can still hold on for some time."

Luo Mo stepped forward, approaching the stone coffin, and examined Yuan Wang's current state.

It was dire. The power of the curse was born with him and was about to completely conquer his primordial spirit, seizing control of his body. Coupled with Yuan Wang's impending death and declining vitality, it was difficult to resist the curse. It was beyond recovery; each extra day was a bonus.

"Fellow Daoist jests."

Although Yuan Wang looked terrible, his eyes were deep and profound. Having lived for countless years, his mastery of Source Arts was considerable. Before complete failure, he could suppress the curse's eruption with the nine-thousand-mile mountain and river formation, but he could no longer leave this place.

"I am not jesting. With this formation, you can last for several years."

However, Yuan Wang's lifespan was nearing its end, and his vitality was declining. Before long, the curse would erupt completely, making him a member of the underworld. Even the ancestral Source Heaven Masters couldn't resist this. The earlier generations even became underworld soldiers, serving the underworld. Later generations of Source Heaven Masters tried everything to hide themselves, utilizing various terrains.

He sighed and then said, "Now that you're here, perhaps you can help me."

"How can I help?"

Luo Mo couldn't offer much help to Yuan Wang.

Because he was a Source Art expert who lacked nothing. He had taken all kinds of life-extending medicines. His cultivation of the Heaven-Suppressing Art wasn't high either. Relying solely on Source Arts, there was no way to save him, unless he used the fruit of the Immortality Elixir.

"Bury me."

Burying a figure like Yuan Wang wasn't easy for a Source Heaven Master. Besides Yuan Wang himself turning into a corpse, creatures from the underworld would come to guide him. Burying him would be extremely difficult; otherwise, Source Heaven Masters wouldn't have sought out various unique terrains to bury themselves.

"That's not appropriate. Even if we can suppress your corpse, we can't guarantee that the strange and ominous won't find it."

Yuan Wang's eyes dimmed. How could he not understand?

Luo Mo smiled. "How about considering cremation? Rather than waiting for corpse transformation, why not reduce yourself to ashes and find peace? If you agree, I can help you refine your ashes into a jar, the same style as the Heaven-Devouring Magic Jar. If your descendants miss you, they can pray to the jar."

Yuan Wang couldn't help but laugh. "Then why not refine a Source-Seeking and Vein-Determining artifact? It would be convenient for future generations."

"No problem, I can refine Source-Seeking and Vein-Determining artifacts too."

"Hahaha..."

After laughing, Yuan Wang said, "Indeed, death solves all worries. It's just that I can't move now. The curse has controlled most of my body. I regret not seeing through this sooner... I may have to trouble you."

A person nearing death becomes compliant and plans for their descendants.

Yuan Wang just wanted to talk to someone, especially a fellow practitioner like Luo Mo. After such a conversation, he saw things clearly and decided to obliterate himself, leaving no trouble behind.

"After my death, I hope you can take care of my descendants."

Yuan Wang's Source Arts were exquisite; he could tell at a glance that the dragon energy on Luo Mo was even stronger than his. He was definitely a Source Ground Master, enough to protect a region, so he entrusted him.

"No problem."

"There's one more thing..."

A person nearing death has many requests.

"Speak."

Luo Mo didn't mind; after all, he was a dying man.

"Your Source Heaven Master lineage has a divine book called the Source Heaven Book. I wonder if this old man can have a glimpse of it. If you're unwilling, just pretend I didn't say it, but don't forget about taking care of my descendants."

Yuan Wang casually mentioned it, not wanting to cause embarrassment.

The Source Heaven Book of the Source Heaven Master lineage, known as the number one scripture of Source Arts, was something he naturally wanted to see, but he never had the chance. Now that he had met Luo Mo, a descendant of the Source Heaven Master, he had the thought again.

"Yes, but first, explain your affairs."

"Alright."

Yuan Wang didn't say anything. Although he could barely survive in this state for a few more years, he realized it was unnecessary. Watching himself being gradually occupied by the curse and eventually turning into a corpse wasn't a good experience at all.

It was better to die cleanly. Before death, he could see the Source Heaven Book, a miraculous book of Source Arts, which could be considered no regrets.

Luo Mo waved his sleeve, and the evil aura was dispelled, revealing a path in the formation.

"My son, quickly gather the clan here."

He transmitted his voice.

"Yes, Father."

The members of Yuan Wang's clan were summoned. Originally, they couldn't enter this place because Yuan Wang's condition was worsening, and he couldn't even move. The evil aura overflowed, and their cultivation was shallow. Contamination by the evil aura would turn them into mindless red-haired monsters. They wouldn't even get close on ordinary days, let alone enter.

But this time, because Luo Mo had dispelled the evil aura, they could enter and listen to their ancestor's instructions.

"I am dying and have decided to dissolve my form to avoid corpse transformation and harming the world."

"Father!" "Father, no!" "Grandfather!"...

"Cough cough... Quiet!"

Yuan Wang, nearing death, stood up in shock, suppressing the scene. "What kind of decorum is this with all this crying? I have made my decision, no need to say more."

Then, pointing to Luo Mo, he said, "The Source Heaven Master lineage has always been the leader of our Source Art world. From now on, you must serve him with all your heart, and do not be negligent, cough cough cough..."

The people of Yuan Wang's lineage were all shocked, then delighted, because after the death of their ancestor Yuan Wang, their lineage would lack a pillar of support. But in the blink of an eye, another golden thigh came, and it would be excellent to climb the relationship.

Yuan Wang looked at Luo Mo and, seeing that he didn't deny it, continued, "After my death, all my treasures will be open to Fellow Daoist Luo, and he can take whatever he wants. Next, he will dissolve my physical body. You may all retreat."

"Father!" "Ancestor!"...

A group of people cried. Yuan Wang's eyes reluctantly swept over them, and finally, he turned his head, waved his hand, and urged the grand formation here to send them all out, then closed the mountain and river formation, isolating the place.

"Next, I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist."

Yuan Wang was very calm and no longer cared about his own life and death.

Luo Mo waved his hand and projected a screen of light, densely packed with characters. This was the content of the Source Heaven Book. He had promised to give Yuan Wang a glimpse of it, fulfilling his last wish.

Yuan Wang watched intently, immersed in it for three days and three nights, and then came back to his senses from the Source Heaven Book, murmuring, "So that's how it is. There are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. Source Arts still has a higher realm. It's a pity that I'm already old. I regret not seeing the divine Source Heaven Art sooner..."

Light bloomed from his body, and pieces of Source Art patterns flew out, carrying dragon energy. It was the essence of his Source Art cultivation, which he had cultivated by searching for dragon veins and imprinting fragments of laws.

He painstakingly condensed his cultivation and then smiled at Luo Mo, "I'm troubling Fellow Daoist."

"Alright."

Luo Mo cast a rune of the Great Treasure Refining Art, which flew into Yuan Wang's body.

This was an old and decaying body, almost like a pile of medicinal dregs pieced together.

As Yuan Wang, his Source Arts were naturally powerful, and he lacked no treasures. He had eaten countless treasures to extend his life, and some of the accumulated traces showed that he hadn't refined much medicinal power at all, and most of it was wasted.

Moreover, this body doesn't have much foundation and isn't good at cultivation. The cultivation of the Shrouding Heaven Method isn't high. Only the Origin Art is worth looking at. The Origin King has almost no hope of living a second life, unlike Jiang Taixu and Gai Jiuyou, who can still be rescued.

For the Origin King, Luo Mo can only offer a set of Bian Que's Triple Diagnosis.

The Origin King peacefully sleeps in a sea of runes and flames of the Great Treasure Refining Art, his primordial spirit transforming into a rain of light.

Luo Mo shot out several rays of light onto the Origin King, extracting strands of blood-red mist from his body like unraveling silk. Then, the Origin King's body was refined, the medicine-dreg-like old body repeatedly tempered by the Great Treasure Refining Art, but it was still not transparent enough.

In the end, his cultivation was too weak, and his physical body wasn't strong enough. Only the Origin Art laws comparable to an Origin Grandmaster are worth seeing.

Luo Mo had no choice but to forcibly refine it, repeatedly refining it, using technical means to make up for the material defects.

When the material was finally refined to meet the requirements, several days had passed, costing him a lot of effort.

Afterward, Luo Mo engraved the blood-red curse mist into runes and re-imprinted them back. For others, the terrifying curse was nothing more than vitality to him.

He combined the power of the curse with the Origin King's Origin Art patterns, as well as the dragon energy and dragon vein laws collected and refined throughout his life, and refined them into the Dao patterns of a magic weapon, imprinting them into the material.

In the blazing flames of the Great Treasure Refining Art, a replica of the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar was born, but there was no ghost face mark on the lid that seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time.

The Origin King's urn was made, ash-white, made from his ashes. It is a special king-level divine weapon, or rather, an Origin Grandmaster's Origin weapon, good at finding dragons and determining veins, and also has the ability to suppress curses, because Luo Mo engraved some Great Curse Art array patterns, which can suppress curses.

The last item alone is a treasure for people in the Origin Art world. No one wants to be cursed and become a red-haired monster.

Refining such a magic weapon didn't take much effort for Luo Mo, who is good at this. He didn't even need to provide the materials. It just took some time.

When he came out, the Origin King's lineage waiting outside respectfully saluted.

"Senior Origin King has passed away and entrusted me to refine his ashes into a town-evil artifact."

When the ash-white Origin Art urn appeared, Luo Mo could feel that some people were not sad, even happy, to have such a treasure that could serve as the family's foundation.

He gave the urn to the eldest son of the Origin King and instructed, "This urn is imprinted with the essence of Senior Origin King's life-long Dao practice. It can find origins, determine veins, suppress evil, and break falsehoods. As long as you don't encounter a desperate situation, you can pass through unimpeded."

"Thank you, Senior."

The eldest son of the Origin King took the urn and then said, "Please, Senior, stay in my clan for a few days. This junior can take Senior to see my late father's collection."

"Okay."

Luo Mo had the intention of subduing the Origin Art world, so he was naturally willing to go at this moment.

In addition, he was also interested in the Origin King's collection. Although Origin Art is not very useful to him, it would be a great thing if he could see the petrified Immortality Medicine, hoping to gain something.

The Origin King's lineage held a funeral, announcing the departure of a generation of Origin King, and placed the urn in the mourning hall.

The eldest son of the Origin King led Luo Mo to the Origin King's palace and opened the treasure house, allowing him to admire a treasure trove of collections.

At the level of an Origin Grandmaster, ordinary origins are already just numbers. Even divine origins are not difficult to obtain as long as you look for them carefully. It's just that you're afraid of digging out ancient creatures when digging for divine origins.

The Origin King's treasure house is not magnificent, it can even be said to be very low-key. Each treasure is wrapped in stone skin.

The Origin Heavenly Master lineage has the Origin Art of the Six Seals to Seal Immortals, and the Origin King lineage also has its unique insights, using stone skin to wrap origins and treasures, engraving Origin Art patterns to preserve those treasures.

Therefore, this is like an Origin workshop displaying pieces of stone, with no feeling of a treasure house at all.

Here, if you want to appreciate the Origin King's collection, you must have a pair of divine eyes.

Communicating with a person who just died in this way is quite wonderful.

"These are my father's treasures from his lifetime, all here."

Luo Mo stepped inside, his eyes shining brightly, discerning the origin, penetrating the stone skin, and peeking at the treasures hidden inside.

The first item gave him a surprise. Inside was a fist-sized piece of divine origin, sealed with an egg, and the creature in the egg was still alive. As long as the divine origin was cut open, it could still be born.

It turned out to be a divine origin containing a living creature, which is rare.

"My father said that this is a strange divine egg, but I don't know what kind of strange beast it is."

The egg is not big. After all, the divine origin that wraps the egg is only the size of a fist. The creature hatched from such a small egg is probably not very big.

Luo Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his divine light shone in like substance, seeing a pink fleshy ball curled up in the egg, which seemed to be a kind of scaled rat.

"Drill-ground treasure-hunting rat? This kind of alien species is not bad."

Then look at the second piece. The second piece of treasure is slightly larger, covered with stone skin, like a stone ball.

"This is a dragon ball, which can suppress dragon veins."

Luo Mo saw it, but he didn't care about such things.

"Is there no petrified Immortality Medicine?"

"We haven't seen this before," the eldest son of the Origin King replied.

It seems that Luo Mo was lucky to get those things left by the Origin Heavenly Master, probably the collection of the five generations of his life.

He looked all the way, and the eldest son of the Origin Heavenly Master explained all the way. When it came to the last piece, the eldest son of the Origin Heavenly Master said, "This is a stone tablet, we don't recognize the text used. My father only said that this is the most ancient treasure."

A white stone tablet, wrapped in divine origin, emitting golden light.

The stone tablet is broken, seemingly made of bones, with traces on it, like it was written with fingers, with dense runes arranged on it.

At first, Luo Mo didn't care, because there was no petrified Immortality Medicine he wanted, but upon closer inspection, he actually found that he didn't recognize the text on the stone tablet.

You must know that he is now considered knowledgeable, and even scanned the memories of the ancient emperors, but there are still texts that he doesn't recognize.

Although he doesn't recognize it, this kind of rune text gives him a strange sense of familiarity.

This is a bit interesting.

"My father's manuscript is on the other side, please come with me."

Luo Mo wrote down the inscription on the stone tablet, and then went to see the Origin King's manuscript.

The Origin Art of the Origin King's lineage is not very attractive to him, but the Origin King's experience is still very interesting, especially some mysterious places that the Origin King discovered but did not explore to the end. Luo Mo wrote them down one by one, thinking that he could explore them in the future.

Being able to stop the Origin King, the things inside are at least related to saints.

The departure of the Origin King caused major forces to visit. Not only did the several major families in the Origin Art world arrive, but even the major holy lands and great sects sent people.

Nothing else, the interests are involved.

During his lifetime, the Origin King used Origin Art to occupy and open up many origin mines, which represent a lot of benefits. Now that the Origin King has left and is holding a funeral, the Origin King's descendants don't seem to be very promising, at least far less than the Origin King, not stepping into the Origin Grandmaster realm, not having the combat power of a king, and even not comparable to the Holy Lord and some sect leaders.

In this way, how can they keep their family business?

Wolves smell blood, this is just the norm in the cultivation world.

Teams of mourners entered the Origin King's Palace, and the descendants of the Origin King received them one by one, until a team of strange creatures came.

This is a team of four-winged, fish-tailed, ferocious creatures with unicorn on their heads, stepping into the gate of the Origin King's Palace.

"The Flying Tide Clan is here to pay respects!"

The person shouting shook his voice, and several descendants of the Origin King at the door flew out.

"The visitors are not kind."

Many people who came to participate in the mourning felt it. In recent days, more and more ancient tribes have been born, and their actions are mostly unscrupulous and very arrogant.

In order to compete for territory, they often exterminate families and slaughter sects.

Plausibly saying that this used to be the place of their ancient clan, occupied by the human race and the demon race, and now they are just taking back their homeland.

The arrogant ones directly call the human race slaves and blood food, and wherever they pass, they kill all who see them, taking pleasure in it.

Luo Mo was studying the Origin King's notes, deducing whether there were any treasures in a dangerous place he had been to, when suddenly a voice came, shaking the house, and the tiles fell.

"The Flying Tide Clan is here to pay respects!"

Flying Tide Clan?

He looked through with his divine eyes and saw the so-called Flying Tide Clan, with silver, fine scales, fish-fin-like wings, fish tails, thick lips, sharp teeth, and whiskers.

This kind of strange appearance, is it an ancient race?

But the royal family and the top ten fierce races among the ancient races don't seem to have the Flying Tide Clan, so, is a small clan so arrogant?
