I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

Earth.

Xu Hu's life had been pretty good these past two years.

He had aged quite a bit, being nearly seventy, but he was still full of vigor. The bald patch on his head from practicing martial arts with Luo Mo hadn't grown back, and his scalp remained shiny.

In recent years, some mysterious people had suddenly appeared, moving with incredible speed and disappearing in the blink of an eye. They could even fly. Later, Xu Hu learned that they were cultivators.

However, these people treated him quite well. This shift in attitude began after they heard that Luo Mo had grown up eating at his place when he was young.

When Luo Mo was a child, his father had fallen into debt, and Xu Hu's men went to collect. As a result, Luo Mo taught them a lesson. The key point was that Luo Mo was just a primary school student at the time, yet several brothers who had been in the game for years were beaten by a primary school student and were powerless to resist. Xu Hu was quite surprised at the time, but he didn't rush to find someone to take revenge.

After all, the small amount of money owed wasn't much to him. Knowing someone who could fight was more valuable, even if the guy was a bit young.

Later, after some investigation, he discovered that this primary school student was using the guise of a certain university's junior class to tutor junior high and high school students, charging quite a bit, and the business was booming.

So, he went to meet this little friend and clear up the misunderstanding. It could be said that this was the most correct thing he had done in his life.

From then on, Luo Mo needed various aged medicinal herbs, which he purchased and collected through him.

And his wealth also increased rapidly under Luo Mo's guidance. Opening internet cafes, engaging in real estate, making games, Luo Mo could succeed in almost everything he did, and the speed of making money was so fast that he couldn't even react.

In this way, he successfully laundered his reputation, from a loan shark boss to an ordinary, loafing, multi-millionaire.

Later, Luo Mo left, leaving all the money to him, taking nothing with him.

In the years after Luo Mo disappeared, Xu Hu arranged for people to take care of his family. His father was in prison, with a regular schedule and good health, and his mother's side was also taken care of, with regular reports on the situation. After all, if something went wrong, he could provide assistance as soon as possible. He was now a super-rich man, and there were things he couldn't handle, but not many.

He hadn't practiced the martial arts and boxing techniques that Luo Mo had taught him in recent years. He used to practice them twice a day, but now that he was old and no longer in his prime, he had regressed significantly. However, his children practiced very well, and in the past two years, they had even gone to cultivate with that group of cultivators.

And those cultivators who had come in the past two years mainly inquired about Luo Mo's whereabouts. He didn't want to say anything at first, but that group of people didn't need him to answer at all, letting him know that they were extraordinary and could arbitrarily decide the life and death of them mortals.

This day, he was drinking tea in the courtyard, the tea aroma curling up, forming clouds, floating on the teacup. Such a scene, if placed outside, would definitely be sensationalized, just like the Nine Dragons Coffin Pulling event that shocked the world back then.

In the past, Xu Hu had suspected many times that Luo Mo might have boarded the Nine Dragons Coffin and flew into the universe.

However, the list of missing persons he obtained did not include Luo Mo.

"… What a wonderful tea."

He exclaimed. The tea leaves were left by that group of people when they came to visit. A young man named Ye Fan gave him some. When those people first came, they were wearing ancient costumes and robes, and both men and women had long hair. Some even wore armor, as if they had come from some ancient costume film set.

They seemed out of place in modern society, but Ye Fan, who was the leader, said that he was Luo Mo's friend, classmate, and that Ye Fan was one of the people who had disappeared back then. Xu Hu gave them some money to treat them well in this modern society.

They were not polite and often gathered at Xu Hu's place, treating it as their base.

Some of them were the people who had disappeared back then. Now that they were back, although they didn't have money, they had many treasures, each of which was worth a lot.

They traded with Xu Hu for some worldly money to spend on their relatives. They also found it troublesome and exchanged it all at Xu Hu's place. Cars and mansions were all arranged by him.

The cultivators gave him many things used by cultivators, such as pills, tea, and wine. He secretly organized auctions and could easily sell them for several times the price.

When they chatted, some said they were going to Longhu Mountain, some said they were going to the Holy See, and some said they were going to some overseas immortal island, encountering some trouble.

It's just that when they drank, they were all talking about how brave they were. It seemed that those cultivators who caused trouble should have been killed.

They are all immortals who come and go.

It's just that whenever Xu Hu asked how Luo Mo was doing now, that group of people would only say: "Cult Master Luo… is doing well now."

They didn't say much else.

Cult Master Luo?

Could it be that Luo Mo learned from Zhang Wuji and became the leader of the Demon Sect?

"Yunfeng Spiritual Mist Tea? Don't you think it's too bland to drink this kind of tea?"

Xu Hu subconsciously replied: "I'm just a mortal, I can't drink those more powerful teas."

It wasn't that Ye Fan and the others were stingy, but other teas with powerful medicinal effects were not suitable for Xu Hu. Drinking them could cause him to explode and die.

But then Xu Hu realized that this voice was very unfamiliar, not from that group of cultivators who came and went, but it had a hint of familiarity.

Turning his head, Xu Hu rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

A figure quietly appeared in his courtyard, dressed in white and otherworldly, with a golden crown and jade hairpin. The flowers and plants he tended to in his spare time were all bowing to this figure.

That face quietly overlapped with the person in his deep memory.

Luo Mo!

"…"

Xu Hu stood up excitedly, but didn't know what to say. Finally, he blurted out: "This time, you can't refuse to have a drink with me!"

Back then, Luo Mo hadn't reached adulthood and didn't drink alcohol. He couldn't even get Luo Mo to join him.

Xu Hu said excitedly: "Of course I remember. You've finally come back after so many years. I even thought that if you didn't come back, I might only be able to drink with you at my grave."

"You still have some lifespan, you won't die that early."

Luo Mo could see through Xu Hu's physical condition at a glance. In his early years, he had practiced martial arts in the Fleshly Body Secret Realm with Luo Mo, and his physical fitness was quite good. Although he was no longer at his peak, living to be over a hundred years old was not a problem.

"But it seems you haven't continued to practice martial arts."

Xu Hu nodded, "I'm old. My grandson is almost going to college. I don't have the same drive as before."

"That's good, you even have grandchildren."

Luo Mo was also very emotional when he returned to Earth.

"What about you?" Xu Hu asked, "Should you have children? Boys or girls?"

"Uh… I haven't gotten married yet. We cultivators marry and have children later in life." Luo Mo made an excuse.

"Oh."

Xu Hu nodded, because Luo Mo looked too young, just like he did when he left, still a teenager.

"By the way, do you want to go home and take a look this time? I'll arrange it right away. Should we go over, or should I have someone pick up your family?"

Luo Mo shook his head, a white light flashed in his pupils, "No need, I can see from here."

With bloodline connections, with his current cultivation, he could naturally sense it. Then, he looked over, even if it was on the other side of the earth, it couldn't block his gaze.

"Oh, oh."

He didn't understand but felt it was amazing.

Speaking of which, it's quite far from here, right? You can see from here?

Only then did Luo Mo frown slightly and ask: "Did they come looking for you?"

Xu Hu was shocked. Although Luo Mo only frowned slightly and his tone was not harsh, his slight change in expression gave people a feeling that the sky was about to collapse!

"Yes, they wanted to ask me for your parents' address. I didn't tell them, but they seemed to suddenly know."

Xu Hu was also quite puzzled, not knowing what had happened. Fortunately, there were no problems. Those people who visited Luo Mo's parents were quite disciplined, bringing gifts that were not ordinary. Each item could be auctioned for astronomical prices on Earth. Xu Hu was shocked when he first found out, thinking of the saying, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure invites disaster.'

Fortunately, the other forces on Earth seemed to have been subdued by this group of people, and no one dared to snatch anything. They all came to trade honestly, saving him a lot of effort.

"Heh."

Luo Mo didn't say anything. He neither opposed nor supported these people who were rushing to curry favor with him, but it was a bit outrageous for them to be currying favor on Earth.

But it didn't matter, he would take them all away soon.

"I won't be staying on Earth for long, I'm leaving soon," Luo Mo said. "This drink will have to wait until next time. I'll treat you next time."

"That's a pity. I was planning to have a good get-together with you."

Xu Hu didn't expect Luo Mo to leave so soon. He thought he would stay on Earth for a while this time.

"Next time. I'm about to start a war with another star field. I came this time to gather manpower."

A war with another star field?

These were lines that should only be in science fiction blockbusters!

"Important business takes priority! Important business takes priority!"

Xu Hu hurriedly said.

"After this war, I should be getting married. When the time comes, I'll send someone to pick you up to attend the wedding."

The wedding would naturally be held on Beidou Star or Ziwei Star, not on Earth.

Xu Hu also realized that this should be an interstellar journey, but he was not afraid. "Then it's settled. I'll wait to drink your wedding wine."

"Good."

Luo Mo turned and left. In Xu Hu's manor, some people were practicing the Zhetian Dharma, just starting out, presumably borrowing the relationship with Beidou to have Ye Fan and the others teach them.

If Xu Hu wanted to learn, he also had the conditions. Ye Fan and the others left behind many spiritual objects and pills.

He himself was unwilling, so Luo Mo didn't ask. Everyone has their own ambitions.

He flew to Mount Tai, arriving at the place where he had set off.

The entire Mount Tai, all the people, as if in a dream, instantly appeared at the foot of the mountain.

"What's going on?"

"How did I get here?"

"Am I sleepwalking?"

Before they could figure out the reason for their sudden teleportation, they felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly.

"What's going on?"

"Is it an earthquake?"

But it wasn't an earthquake. Five huge spheres appeared on Mount Tai, floating in the air, composed of stones of five colors.

"Is this a Chibaku Tensei?" Someone couldn't help but say.

Because they were too huge, even their slightest movement would have a huge impact, and at this moment, they were slowly descending.

Like a meteorite colliding with Earth, but very gently, afraid of scratching the Earth's skin.

The five huge meteorites slowly fell, touching Mount Tai, sinking into the ground little by little. The tremors produced from beginning to end were slight, and a large number of glowing patterns spread hundreds of miles across the ground, making people exclaim in disbelief.

Such a large mass of objects falling on the ground, but the movement was so small. It was definitely controlled by someone, and that person was unwilling to harm the surface residents. Otherwise, letting these five meteorites fall directly would be a major earthquake.

Luo Mo floated in the sky, but all the reconnaissance methods of the countries of the world were ineffective against him. The five stars falling on the Five Elements Continent contained a full amount of Five Elements Essence, which he used to strengthen the Mount Tai altar, after all, the Mount Tai altar lacked energy.

With such a large charging treasure, the users of the Five Colors Altar could directly teleport to Beidou Star, without having to replenish energy at Mars like Luo Mo and the others used to.

After casually setting up this refueling array, Luo Mo began to summon manpower.

Dang!

The bell flew over mountains and rivers, across the ocean, spreading all over the globe. For a time, all the Earth cultivators looked towards the direction from which the bell came.

On the overseas immortal island, the Beidou Tianjiao who were occupying the mountain as kings immediately gathered upon hearing the bell.

"This is the signal we set when we came. Did something happen?"

"I don't know, let's go and see quickly."

In the Vatican, Wang Teng, who was flipping through ancient books, immediately called a few outstanding disciples of the Wang family upon hearing the bell, and drove the magic weapon to Mount Tai.

Ye Fan was cultivating at home, having explored the Kunlun Secret Realm together with them. Because of the Immortal Treasure Chart he obtained in his early years, Ye Fan was able to successfully enter the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain and obtain the Immortal Ascension Cauldron that Luo Mo told him he must obtain.

It was just that the Immortal Ascension Cauldron was incomplete. There were only parts of it in the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain. After Ye Fan found it, the entire Earth began to slowly recover its spiritual energy. In a few years, Earth would recover from the Age of Dharma's End to the Age of Cultivation.

After obtaining the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, he didn't go adventuring anymore, but stayed at home to accompany his family, making up for the regrets of these years, and cultivating in peace.

After hearing the bell, Ye Fan immediately transmitted a voice to his parents: "You stay here and don't run around. Wait for me to come back."

He didn't know what had happened. In theory, the forces on Earth that didn't submit to them had already been wiped out, but someone still issued this bell for emergency contact, indicating that they had encountered a big trouble.

In Shennongjia, Jiang Yifei was studying an ancient scroll, with a thatched hut and clear tea, enjoying himself, which was very much in line with his character.

After coming to Earth, he first followed the large group to visit Kunlun, and later, during free activities, he wandered around casually and arrived here.

A thatched hut and an ancient scroll, recording the Great Dao of a predecessor, quiet and natural, very much in line with his character, so he had been studying here for the past two years, enjoying the quiet.

But hearing the bell, he had to give up his quiet life and rush to check what had happened.

In another cave, Ji Ziyue and Ji Haoyue woke up from their cultivation.

"Brother, it seems like something happened."

"Yeah, let's go."

Ji Haoyue looked at the cave, swept over the stone carvings in the cave, and a strong confidence appeared in his eyes.

"This cave must have been left by an ancestor of my Ji family, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a deep understanding of the Void Scripture. It's a pity that I don't know his name."

It wasn't just Jiang Yifei who had adventures. Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue also had adventures after coming to Earth. They found a cave that seemed to have been inhabited by an ancestor of their Ji family. The stone walls were engraved with some of the predecessor's insights on the Void Scripture, which were very insightful. They had studied it for more than two years, and it had been of great help to their cultivation, and their cultivation had improved a lot.

This ancestor's understanding of the Void Scripture was really profound. Ji Ziyue and Ji Haoyue had also seen some cultivation insights of their ancestors in the family, but they were far inferior to these stone carvings. It seemed that this ancestor's skills were supernatural and his cultivation must be very powerful.

The two siblings also flew towards the place where the bell came from. When they arrived, many people had already gathered, including cultivators from Beidou and Earth cultivators who came to watch the excitement.

At the beginning, they only cleaned up the local forces on Earth that didn't submit to them and wanted to seize their treasures. The forces that were friendly to them were not among them.

At this time, Ye Fan also happened to fly over.

"Who is ringing the bell?"

Ye Fan saw the anomaly of Mount Tai at a glance, "Huh? This is the Source Heaven Divine Pattern?"

Under Mount Tai, there were five huge energy sources bound by a large array. The array was alarming, like five stars being sealed here, and this technique had elements of Source Art in it, but it was unique.

"Luo Mo?"

The first person who jumped out of Ye Fan's mind was Luo Mo. Such techniques and handwriting, besides him, there was no one else.
