Eternal Tale

”Big Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Brother!”

Little Crane’’s eyes flashed with sharpness as she quickly transmitted her voice, ”Yesterday, Big Brother mentioned the Chaos Immortal Spirit List. Everyone thinks it’’s formed by the Heavenly Dao, even Uncle Fu says so.”

”But Big Brother doesn’’t believe that’’s the case. I’’ve come into contact with the essence of small boundaries and the essence of the great world. It’’s very likely that the great world’’s essence has been partially controlled by powerful clans.”

”So the closure of the small boundary might be related to these powerful figures.”

As she spoke, she suddenly glanced at her shoulder, where a small turtle was hidden by her essence, ”They are not as benevolent as they claim! But they won’’t target ordinary people like us either, though we must remain cautious.”

”Huh?! Sister Crane...”

Little Chi exclaimed, having never thought so deeply, ”It seems my perspective is too narrow. I almost believed what others said.”

”Hehe, it’’s right to make guesses based on what you see and hear, even if the conclusions might be wrong.”

Chen Xun looked at Little Crane with a gratified expression, ”Third Sister, you must be like this in both speech and conduct, always keep an extra eye open, for this is the vast world of immortals.”

”Yes, yes, I understand, Big Brother!”Little Crane nodded repeatedly, her eyes becoming lively again, ”I won’’t let Big Brother down.”

”Moo~” Black Bull snorted, his eyes slightly curved.

”From the messages from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk, this great world isn’’t as good as imagined, but it’’s definitely not bad either.”

Chen Xun murmured to himself as he continued walking forward, ”Conflicts are everywhere, even if it’’s just killing, as long as you don’’t touch that spirit seal, strength still reigns supreme. They only protect the major forces and races.”

”Do you really think an ordinary cultivator can be carefree just by holding a Yellow-tier Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal? No one will care, haha.”

”It’’s just that individuals are too insignificant in front of them, and large-scale racial wars won’’t be allowed.”

”Such a situation makes this era of immortal cultivation seem prosperous, but crushing a cultivator is as easy as crushing an ant, so we must remain vigilant.”

His eyes gradually became deep and distant as he spoke calmly, ”I and Bull walked out from the world of immortals in Kingdom Qian, treading on thin ice every day, rising from obscurity, seeing more than anyone else.”

”When we were in the Foundation Establishment phase, those in power could decide the fate of many lives with a word, and you might even follow them without hesitation, completely unaware.”

”Not to mention the strongest among the myriad races in this great world, their mentality and wisdom are unimaginable.”

”How they ended the era of great racial slaughter is unknown, but there were certainly no benevolent people involved.”

”Moo!”

Black Bull snorted heavily, his simple gaze gradually turning sharp.

Especially that detestable war in the world of immortals, where Foundation Establishment cultivators weren’’t even needed, yet Shi Jing and Senior Brother Ji’’s regrets were caused there!

Liu Yuan’’s later misfortune was further fueled by those in power. If it weren’’t for their sufficient strength to save her, Liu Yuan would have died on the spot.

Chen Xun patted Black Bull, ”More importantly, Senior Brother Ji’’s ancient book, I still can’’t fully understand it, but those characters are definitely not simple.”

”Why would a branch of the Ji family come from the great world? Could a small boundary be better than the great world?!”

”So, Third Sister, Fourth Brother, don’’t just look at the surface of things, act with low profile, and don’’t touch others’’ interests.”

”Follow the rules, and trouble won’’t find us, haha.”

Chen Xun suddenly laughed, very carefree, ”In this light, the trash recycling plant is the true path. When we transcend all the iron laws of the great world in the future, who can do anything to us?! Keep a steady mindset!”

”Moo moo!” Black Bull nudged Chen Xun hard, they were immortal, no great world powerhouse could outlive them!

”Big Brother is right!”

Little Crane’’s eyes shone with wisdom, Big Brother was truly smart, she must read more books and broaden her horizons, she whispered, ”I remember now.”

”Brother Xun, you’’re definitely destined for great things, my mind is much clearer now.”

Little Chi growled lowly, his mane standing on end, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured down his spine, ”Brother Xun, in this light, it’’s still the severed path...”

”Damn it, Bull, flatten him!”

”Moo moo!!”

”Ah, Brother Xun, in front of everyone, give me some face~~”

Little Chi let out a miserable wail, being lifted by Chen Xun by the scruff of his neck, receiving a mixed beating, ”Ah ah~~!”

Little Crane clung to Chen Xun’’s sleeve, shaking it, and shouted in panic, ”Big Brother, Second Brother, go easy, stop hitting!”

Mo Fuyang stood far away, looking shocked, wondering how the three seniors suddenly started fighting as they walked, he couldn’’t understand at all.

Before long, everything returned to calm, Little Chi’’s lips were tightly sealed, eyes straight ahead, with a spirited gaze, as if he had never heard of the Tian Duan Plains!

Little Crane sat on his back, earnestly grooming his somewhat messy mane.

Chen Xun held Black Bull’’s head with one hand and a map in the other, heading towards the place in Elemental Immortal City where they were buying property.

……

The next day, at dawn.

Outside Elemental Immortal City, nestled by mountains and water, under an unnamed small mountain, with beautiful peaks, stood a group of figures, all slightly raising their heads.

Chen Xun’’s brow twitched as he looked at a man, ”Young friend, is this the manor you mentioned? There’’s only a mountain, no manor.”

”Moo!”

Black Bull let out a long cry, wasn’’t this a desolate wilderness? Yet it cost twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and they were given a long speech about how serene and suitable for cultivation it was, but it turned out to be outside the city!

Little Chi instinctively ran behind the man, his eyes cold, ready to flee at Brother Xun’’s command.

Little Crane looked around, especially at the small mountain, covered in ’’spirit grass’’ and ’’spirit trees’’ from Trash Island, making this property essentially worthless.

”Senior, senior.”

The Elemental Infant phase man was sweating, looking somewhat panicked, he cupped his hands and spoke, ”This is already the lowest-priced property in Elemental Immortal City, protected by the entire Li Chen Island, and it meets your requirements...”

”Moreover, as a Void Refinement powerhouse, our pavilion master, to show respect for a strong individual, has even gifted you this spirit mountain, there’’s truly no place cheaper than this...”

He earnestly persuaded, this was their first time selling property at such a low price.

If it weren’’t for this senior being a Void Refinement powerhouse, they wouldn’’t have bothered with him.

Even to maintain this senior’’s dignity, they forcibly called this place a manor and a spirit mountain, they couldn’’t really say it was a barren mountain!

Mo Fuyang’’s eyes showed envy at this moment, this was the face of a strong individual, if he went with thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, they probably wouldn’’t even let him in.

A Void Refinement powerhouse was definitely a notable figure in the Mengmu Sea Region, no cultivator would dare to offend easily.

In the great world, doing business also required learning to adapt, building good relations with the strong would never be a loss.

Mutual praise and elevation were the true ways of interaction.

”Hmm... I can see the pavilion master’’s sincerity, we are indeed very satisfied with this ’’spirit mountain’’.”

Chen Xun critically evaluated, yet his eyes showed hesitation, ”Young friend... what about the manor?”

”Senior, there is one!”

The man took out a formation flag from his storage ring, and a wave of mana surged from above.

Rumble...

At the top of the small mountain, a wooden fence appeared instantly, and a ’’manor’’ emerged in a flash, truly living up to its name!

Chen Xun let out a kind low laugh, walked up to the man, and patted his shoulder meaningfully, almost gritting his teeth.

”Senior, look, the manor...”

The man looked sincere, slightly bowing his head, ”From now on, this spirit mountain belongs solely to you, no one dares to forcibly enter, otherwise it will be considered a challenge to the rules of Li Chen Island.”

As he finished speaking, a virtual decree condensed in his palm, directly embedding into the ground, the energy of the entire small mountain seemed to be drawn away, or marked, a place with an owner!

”Good lad.”

Chen Xun patted his shoulder again, ”Quickly return to report, thank the pavilion master for me.”

”Yes, senior.”

The man bowed his head, cupped his hands, took a few steps back, a treasure shuttle appeared, he immediately stepped on it and flew away, disappearing into the sky in an instant, clean and efficient.

Whoosh~~

A few strands of wind and sand drifted by, and the place became quiet again.

Even the sky had no cultivators passing by or large ships flying over, it was so quiet it seemed detached from the world, completely out of place with Elemental Immortal City.

Moreover, its outline couldn’’t be seen, surrounded by spirit mountains and great marshes, with lush green peaks, this small barren mountain was the most inconspicuous.

Unexpectedly, this was the most marginal place within the range of Elemental Immortal City, but fortunately, it was protected by rules, so they considered spending twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones for peace of mind.

”Big Brother, I think this place is quite good.”

”Moo moo~”

”Brother Xun, I also think it’’s quite good, and it’’s convenient for us to recycle trash in the future.”

”Yes, senior, our line of work is indeed not dignified, nor suitable to be in the city, here is just right.”

They spoke one after another, each more sincere than the last, speaking from the heart, arranging Chen Xun Dao Ancestor clearly.

”Hmm... makes sense.”

Chen Xun placed one hand behind his back, squinting slightly, ”Actually, everything is within my plan, this place greatly benefits our trash recycling plant, it’’s our first bridgehead!”

”Moo~~” Black Bull let out a long snort, it believed again.

Little Crane giggled, their family had no spirit stones left, but it was good to follow Big Brother, she didn’’t envy those who spent lavishly for their juniors.

Little Chi was full of joy, finally starting to run around happily, no one was here, no one was here!

”Bull, pick a place to set up the teleportation array, after understanding so much, we must prepare to return and start our grand plans!”

”Moo!”

Black Bull tapped the ground with all four hooves, flying towards the small mountain, Little Chi quickly followed, assisting in setting up the teleportation array was its specialty, Brother Bull couldn’’t do without it, just as it couldn’’t do without the Tian Duan Plains.

”Young friend Mo.”

”Senior.”

Mo Fuyang still had a sincere look, stepping forward, even tidying his robe twice.

Chen Xun smiled, ”Our plan must also begin, those five Trash Islands are just the first step.”

”Yes, senior!”

Mo Fuyang’’s eyes shone with brilliance, bowing his head, full of loyalty, without any ulterior motives.

Chen Xun led Little Crane as they turned, gently raising his eyes to look at the small mountain, his eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of lightning, making it impossible to see through the emotions in his eyes.
