Eternal Tale

Ji Yan slightly raised his head and said in a deep voice, ”Tian Li, what are you laughing at?”

”I’m laughing at why I didn’t meet Lord Crossing the World and you all earlier.”

Tian Li’s smile grew deeper, but his face became increasingly sinister and terrifying. ”Trash Island is indeed quite good, and I will definitely protect you all well.”

”Heh.” Ji Yan chuckled lightly, suddenly looking towards the distant, dark sea. ”The road is still long. Accompany me to Piaoyun Island tomorrow, and then we’ll make a trip to the central sea region of the Mengmu Sea Region.”

”I need to use the strength of the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins. As long as we don’t break the rules, they’ll work for spirit stones. There’s quite a bit of cultivation trash in this sea, and it’s hard for Misty to manage it all.”

”Ji Yan, be careful of this clan. I’ve been listening to the Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk these past few days, and these flood dragons are somewhat greedy. They’re involved in all major events, and there are quite a few in the Unity realm.”

”Yes, I know. I already have a plan in mind. Lord Crossing the World fell because of them.”

”Oh?”

”Now is not the time to act. Let’s first lay the groundwork for their downfall and reap the rewards later.”

Ji Yan’s gaze gradually deepened, and a friendly smile appeared on his lips. ”The Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins in the Mengmu Sea Region has many factions. I heard one faction is led by a Flood Dragon Venerable.””Ji Yan, I think it’s best to consult Lord Crossing the World about this matter.”

”I know. I’m just laying the groundwork for their downfall. When to trigger it will be up to Crossing the World. I won’t act recklessly.”

”That’s good.”

”Shall we set off now?”

”Ji Yan, didn’t you say tomorrow?” Tian Li’s eyes widened slightly. Ji Yan’s thoughts were unpredictable, and he couldn’t guess what Ji Yan wanted to do next, not even trusting what he said a moment ago!

”I’ve already gathered these chess pieces. Tonight, the starry river is splendid; it’s time to set out.”

With one hand behind his back, Ji Yan was already walking towards the distance, his words always calm and unruffled. ”Are you coming?”

”Coming!” Tian Li opened his mouth wide and quickly followed, not leaving an inch behind.

……

The next day, at Dongxuan Dao Academy, two bright suns rose, their rays illuminating every corner of Dongxuan Immortal Island.

Here, the teachings had long begun, with the sound of the Dao echoing in all directions. There were even separate secret realms within the academy, where many disciples fought fiercely, emerging covered in wounds and exuding a fierce aura.

On a high stone platform, a Unity True Lord sat cross-legged, lecturing on the Dao.

Below, the disciples sat in various postures—some stood on rocks, others in streams, some on steps—without any restrictions, all with thoughtful expressions in their eyes.

On the mountainside, three figures were rushing up quickly.

”Heling, hurry up!! Elder Baiyu has already started lecturing on the history of immortals!”

Mu Qingyao was full of anxiety and anger. Why restrict flying? You Unity elders have so many tricks!

”These ancient immortal histories can’t be heard outside; they’re treasures of the academy, with the elders’ unique insights. It’s enlightening!”

Feng Jinyu was also running alongside, exclaiming in surprise, ”But Mu Qingyao, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been in the academy for a thousand years, and you still got lost?!”

”Feng Jinyu! How dare you blame me!”

Mu Qingyao, already angry, flared up when blamed. ”Who comes here to listen to immortal history lectures for no reason? It’s my first time too!”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jinyu immediately shrank his head and chuckled awkwardly.

The momentum that had just surged was instantly broken by that one word ’I.’ Mu Qingyao must have spent time in the mortal world; her fairy demeanor is all an act!

This is the real Mu Qingyao, and Feng Jinyu knows her well. Those academy disciples are all deceived by this woman’s beauty, but Heling is even more remarkable!

”Alright, stop arguing.”

Little Crane chuckled, grabbing the two and running up. ”Once we’ve been here, we’ll find it next time, won’t we?”

”Hmph, exactly!” Mu Qingyao said proudly, glancing disdainfully at Feng Jinyu. ”Heling knows how to talk, unlike a certain fool.”

Feng Jinyu’s eyes widened, looking at Mu Qingyao as if he wanted to eat her. How dare you insult me in front of Heling!

”I...”

”Let’s go!”

Before Feng Jinyu could finish, Heling gave him a strong push, and the three of them got closer and closer to the mountaintop, though the other two still bickered occasionally, making Heling giggle.

But Feng Jinyu and Mu Qingyao noticed this. Heling had never listened to the elders’ lectures in the academy for a thousand years, and today was the first time.

Mainly, Heling had asked Mu Qingyao for directions yesterday, and she immediately claimed she knew the way and would lead the way tomorrow!

Feng Jinyu overheard and said he also loved immortal history and would join them tomorrow!

But by the time they arrived, the elder had been lecturing for half an hour. The academy was too vast, and they really got lost...

Swoosh!

As the three of them ran up the platform, hundreds of eyes turned to them simultaneously.

Even the Unity elder’s gaze tightened. He had been lecturing for half an hour, and they were just arriving. Had his reputation as Baiyu True Lord diminished in the academy?!

Mu Qingyao’s demeanor became gentle, her face showing an embarrassed yet polite smile, and she even bowed.

Nangong Heling just smiled slightly. Eldest brother had said, don’t panic over small matters, just smile and move on. If you’re not embarrassed, it’s others who will be.

However, those hundreds of eyes were filled with absolute amazement... These two women... were quite extraordinary!

But the amazed gazes gradually turned into a faint killing intent, suddenly directed at the man standing beside them!

Feng Jinyu shivered, but his gaze also became sharp, slightly raising his head, one hand behind his back, boldly facing the hundreds of hostile gazes.

The meaning of his returning gaze was simple: the academy’s two beauties stand beside this young master. What, not convinced?!!

Baiyu True Lord frowned deeply. What was the meaning of this?!

He suddenly spoke, ”Throw this man down the mountain! To behave like this in front of this True Lord, what a disgrace!”

”Yes, Elder!”

”Yes, Elder!”

……

Several Void Refinement guardians responded from the mountainside, their eyes and divine sense instantly locking onto Feng Jinyu.

”Ah?! Ah!!”

Feng Jinyu was shocked and pale. What had he done? ”Elder Baiyu, I’m innocent!!!”

”Throw him down! How dare he disrespect his elders in the academy!”

”Innocent~~~!!”

Feng Jinyu’s eyes turned red as he was suppressed by the Void Refinement guardians, moving further down the mountain path, reaching out powerlessly, his cries echoing through the mountains.
