Eternal Tale

Above the Immortal Island.

An elder riding a spirit beast cupped his hands from a distance towards the people of Misty, speaking calmly, ”This matter will be handled by our Daoist Academy. I will personally root out the elders involved.”

He looked coldly into the vast interior of the academy, ”Over the years, I have traveled far and wide, neglecting the internal discipline of the academy. How dare they lay hands on our disciples? A trip to the Immortal Prison awaits them!”

As soon as he finished speaking, several places within the academy were shaken. A few Unity elders walked out, looking despondent, bowing their heads.

The elder’s authority was such that a single sentence was enough to rectify the academy, without the need for extensive investigation.

In the distant sky, in front of the Misty warship.

A young man also cupped his hands calmly, ”Naturally, since Miss Nangong is unharmed, we shall take our leave. We respect the name of the Daoist Academy and will not interfere.”

After speaking, he glanced at the small hill in the distance. Nangong Heling had been bowing respectfully for a long time. The effect of the hundreds of billions of mid-grade spirit stones had finally taken effect today. Her trump cards were few, but now they were enough.

The young man smiled slightly, then turned and left, quite gracefully.

Of course, the cost of this journey was naturally borne by Miss Nangong, who was quite adept at handling matters.No one among them had any complaints about her. The reason for choosing this moment was naturally all about strength.

If she had really been taken away, they might have been on the road all night, forced to rescue her. Their relationship with Misty—Qingchen was not yet that close.

Though they didn’t provide help in dire need, they did add to the celebration, marking the beginning of long-term cooperation, at least showing them this strength.

One could say the only one who suffered a big loss tonight was the master of the Wuji Daoist Temple, who hadn’t even warmed his feet before being ambushed and severely injured, fleeing in disgrace. This would likely frustrate him for centuries.

And from now on, the academy’s rectification began, and the grand event for the juniors was handled with extreme caution. On the ground, no one dared to breathe loudly, and the noise significantly diminished.

Atop a great mountain, Ling Yunshen and Jiang Liu stood, overlooking the outskirts of the Immortal Island.

”Jiang Liu... how did you manage to bring back this elder from the Daoist Academy? Isn’t Third Uncle being a bit too dramatic?”

Ling Yunshen was somewhat at a loss, not expecting things to escalate so much, ”I was just helping a friend, how can I repay such a huge favor?”

”Heh... he said you only need to meet that girl once, and that’s enough, no need to force anything.”

”Alright, Third Uncle is really worried about my long journey on the immortal path.”

Ling Yunshen shook his head with a wry smile, then slowly looked into the distance, ”After bidding farewell to Baiyu True Lord, let’s leave. He’s already considered my teacher.”

”Naturally, he deserves it.” Jiang Liu smiled warmly, ”Young Master, where to next?”

”Hmm... let’s go to Xuanwei Heaven. After all, the ultimate destination is the Boundless Great World!”

After speaking, he was already heading down the mountain, accompanied by hearty laughter, ”Jiang Liu, do we have enough spirit stones? If not, borrow some from my Third Uncle.”

”Young Master, wait for me!”

Jiang Liu snapped back to reality, hurriedly chasing after him, shouting, ”When are we going back to Cloud Immortal Splendor to see that girl?”

”After we return from the Boundless Great World!”

”Huh?”

”Hahaha...”

Ling Yunshen laughed heartily, already imagining Third Uncle’s troubled expression, which would surely be quite amusing.

Jiang Liu followed behind with a deep sigh, but his eyes also carried a smile, showing deep respect for Ling Yunshen, from the bottom of his heart.

The Ling family, a pillar of the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom, a noble family, even the fiercest evil spirits would have to bow and cup their hands when passing by the Ling family mansion, never daring to raise their voices...

Loyalty and courage forged an iron backbone, ensuring the heavens would never fall.

The immortal demeanor and Daoist spirit stood firm in the sky, leaving an eternal name and immortal achievements!

The young master’s parents guarded the western border of the Immortal Kingdom, and he was truly the descendant of a great general of the Immortal Dynasty. His own parents also followed them, truly generational family retainers.

But the young master’s ambitions clearly lay elsewhere, like a carefree cloud or a wild crane, roaming the world, pursuing the immortal path in his heart.

Jiang Liu laughed as he followed the young master further and further, never worrying about the future.

On the small hill.

Two figures stepped through the air, their gaze fixed on Chen Xun and Nangong Heling.

”Fellow Daoist Heling.” Ling Yunshen smiled and cupped his hands, then looked at Chen Xun, ”This must be Fellow Daoist Heling’s eldest brother, Chen Xun. I am Ling Yunshen.”

”Hehe, the brother-in-law of Brother Ye Han.”

Chen Xun squinted slightly, considering him a junior, but this person’s aura was somewhat hidden, ”I’ve heard of you, heard you wanted to meet me.”

”I heard from my brother-in-law that you returned from the thousand-year Immortal Prison but did not enter the Chaos Immortal Spirit List, so naturally, I wanted to come and see.”

Ling Yunshen’s manner was quite cultured, with a restrained aura and a warm presence, ”It’s just some curiosity in my heart, I hope you don’t mind.”

”Haha, no need to be so polite.” Chen Xun quickly waved his hand, looking humble, ”I heard from my third sister that you have the talent of an immortal prodigy, and you came from Cloud Immortal Splendor.”

”Hehe, you’re too kind. The title of immortal prodigy is just a false reputation. Yunshen never cared for it, and I did indeed come from Cloud Immortal Splendor.”

”To be honest, my painting and singing...”

”Eldest Brother!”

”Hmm?”

Chen Xun was speaking enthusiastically when Little Crane suddenly interrupted him, she said seriously, ”What’s the matter, Third Sister?”

”Doesn’t Fellow Daoist Ling understand yet? Talk about something else.”

”Aren’t we getting to know each other?”

”We’ll learn more when we visit Cloud Immortal Splendor in the future, right?”

Chen Xun frowned slightly, what did she mean?

Ling Yunshen was somewhat surprised to see Nangong Heling acting so playfully. In his impression, Nangong Heling had never shown such a lively side, always maintaining a dignified and charming demeanor.

He quickly averted his gaze, feeling it was inappropriate to stare at a young lady like that.

Chen Xun frowned, feeling something was off. Being interrupted, he didn’t know where to continue, so he simply said, ”Hehe...”

”Senior, now that we’ve met today, Yunshen has no regrets.”

Ling Yunshen seemed to notice Chen Xun’s awkwardness and quickly continued, ”I also came today to bid farewell to your sister. We are preparing to leave the academy.”

”Oh... I see.”

Chen Xun nodded in realization, looking at Black Bull and Little Chi, ”Bull, Little Chi, come over here. Don’t stand there blocking the young people’s matters.”

”Moo~~”

”Roar~~”

Black Bull and Little Chi quickly ran over, leaving space for the two.

Ling Yunshen’s expression twitched, feeling a bit unnatural due to this scene.

However, he calmly walked over, cupping his hands, ”Since Fellow Daoist Heling has overcome the crisis, and I have met my brother-in-law’s friend, there’s no reason to stay here.”

”Fellow Daoist Ling.” Little Crane smiled slightly, ”Thank you for your help over the years. This book is for you.”

She took out a book from her storage ring, not some supreme cultivation method, just an ordinary book titled ”Heart Dao,” written by a powerful woman.

Ling Yunshen’s eyes lit up as he accepted it, showing great appreciation, ”Thank you, Fellow Daoist Heling. I actually prepared a book for you as well.”

They exchanged books, ending with a calm and serene farewell, with no hint of reluctance, only a gentle blessing in their hearts.

Ling Yunshen cupped his hands and smiled, ”May the mountains and rivers be long, and may Fellow Daoist Heling’s heart be as warm as spring!”

Little Crane also brushed her hair in the mountain breeze, cupping her hands in response with a smile, ”May the autumn waters and long skies, and may Fellow Daoist Ling’s Dao heart be ever bright, with a wide and open heart!”

”Hehe, esteemed seniors, I bid you farewell.”

Ling Yunshen cupped his hands with a smile towards Chen Xun and the others, speaking loudly, ”Though this grand world is vast, if fate allows, Yunshen hopes to meet again someday in the future!”

After speaking, he and Jiang Liu stepped through the air and left, never mentioning that it was he who had called back the elder from the Daoist Academy.

Chen Xun placed one hand behind his back, looking into the distant sky with a smile and a shake of his head, ”Good lad, he has a bit of my style from back in the day.”
