Eternal Tale

A month later.

They had been advancing deeper, with the vast humming sound constantly echoing around them. In a short time, they had already constructed ’ten lengths’... a hundred thousand miles.

According to the local saying, a thousand lengths would make you the boss of the Yellow-tier formation base, and it would take at least ten years to build.

Chen Xun and his companions were tirelessly constructing, without any worries about materials or other concerns.

The logistics were so well-supplied that they weren’t afraid of building too fast, only too slow!

Chen Xun stood at the forefront of the illusory path track, with Little Crane and Little Chi in the center, and Black Bull sitting cross-legged on the magical artifact at the rear. The four figures formed a line, never leaving each other’s sight.

They had no intention of exploring the Void Land. Whenever they encountered chaotic void currents or spatial upheavals, Chen Xun would wield his axe to cut through any obstacles, keeping danger at bay.

In this place, both formation skills and strength were indispensable. Black Bull was still evolving the construction formations, fully immersed in the path track, trusting Chen Xun completely and never worrying.

As long as that figure stood at the forefront, they would keep moving forward.

Roar!A loud roar echoed, and Little Chi shouted from the center, ”Brother Xun, aren’t we going a bit fast? I calculated that we earned a million mid-grade spirit stones this month!”

It was extremely excited, feeling like they were robbing the spirit stones from the three heavenly regions, even easier than picking up trash on Trash Island. With just a bit of mana control, the toughest parts were handled by Brother Bull.

With these freely gained savings, it could buy an Earth-tier Image Stone!

Chen Xun chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping across the darkness around them. ”Little Chi, keep calm. This isn’t fast at all. Your Brother Bull is still studying formations. Let’s focus on what we need to do and build up our experience.”

”Got it, Brother Xun. I’ve also figured out how to arrange these materials, it’s becoming second nature.”

Little Chi laughed mischievously, seemingly never troubled by anything, living in the moment. ”If you’re tired, just let me handle it!”

Little Crane, still casting spells, turned and smiled, chiming in, ”Eldest brother, I checked, and there’s a spirit stone subsidy for constructing a length, a thousand mid-grade spirit stones for each person to restore mana.”

”Roar~, Sister Crane, do I get some too? A thousand mid-grade spirit stones!”

Little Chi took a deep breath, as it was cultivating the Spiritual Qi Immortal Path, ”The spirit stones for mana restoration are saved.”

”Fourth brother, everyone gets it.” Little Crane nodded, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze. ”Our family doesn’t lack spirit stones now, I’ve told you many times.”

”Brother Xun, let me help you.”

Little Chi seemed not to hear this, flying straight to another side, leaving a long trail of flame in the air.

Little Crane sighed softly as she watched the distance. Eldest brother rarely talked about fourth brother’s past, and she didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask.

But fourth brother was even more frugal than eldest and second brothers, though in the world of immortals, frugality doesn’t enhance cultivation. She wasn’t sure if this habit was good or bad.

Chen Xun laughed heartily at the front, ”Little Chi, come quickly. I’ll report some more resources, and the lengths we’ve constructed have all been recorded.”

”Got it, Brother Xun!” Little Chi laughed heartily, as mountains of materials flew out from the storage ring, keeping him busy.

Little Crane’s eyes sparkled at this moment, her yin-yang pupils revealing themselves. The vast qi of the Five Elements burst from the void, continuously surging towards Black Bull, incredibly pure.

Chen Xun brought his two fingers together in front of his chest, his eyes flashing with lightning. Strands of Heavenly Origin Qi erupted from his primordial spirit, also flowing into Black Bull’s body, as the latter’s consumption was considerable.

”Moo~~”

Black Bull let out a soft call, its aura growing increasingly robust. Formation disks appeared faintly all around, with the rule power of formations interweaving in the void, creating a grand and oppressive atmosphere.

It was altering the propulsion formation of the path track, beginning to infer and deduce.

Constructing the path track fundamentally relied on two points: capturing the Chaotic Path and suppressing it within the distributed formation diagram.

However, these two points were quite dangerous. The reason for calling it a length was to completely suppress a Chaotic Path within the path track formation.

Although it seemed simple, if any link went wrong, the backlash and eruption of the Chaotic Path could trigger a chain reaction, and the simultaneous eruption of a thousand paths had happened before.

That team of Void Refinement cultivators was entirely annihilated, eventually swallowed by a spatial storm, leaving no remains, no trace, and no chance to resist.

Black Bull used ten thousand-path formation disks as the formation base, beginning to autonomously evolve along the path track formation, no longer capturing and arranging simultaneously, having transcended the framework of the path track formation.

But one must acknowledge the genius of the formation sages. This simple and universal formation diagram indeed contained great wisdom. Black Bull had never imagined capturing the Chaotic Path into a formation before.

Because it was simply impossible, suppression and utilization were entirely different matters.

Back when the Heavenly Origin Qi entered the formation, it had already amazed Black Bull for a long time. Now, with broader knowledge, its thoughts were becoming more expansive.

The insights gained in the celestial realm were now being applied in practice. Everything in heaven and earth could enter the formation, every flower, every blade of grass, every tree could be a formation base!

Black Bull had even begun to create the Void Binding Grand Formation, binding the Chaotic Path, void currents, spatial storms, and more within the grand formation, using its own rule power to evolve the formation world!

Black Bull named this formation the Heaven-Binding Earth-Sealing Formation.

It slowly exhaled a hot breath, believing that the brilliance of a formation lay not in its arrangement and power, but in forming a formation with a wave of the hand, encompassing the countless formations of the world of immortals, continuously self-evolving, unbreakable, unavoidable.

”Moo~~” Black Bull let out a call with an indescribable meaning, its honest gaze always fixed on Chen Xun in the distance.

Chen Xun seemed to sense something, turning to look at Black Bull, nodding gently with a radiant smile, as if he already knew what Black Bull was thinking.

They continued constructing the path track in this dark, sunless Void Land, feeling no loneliness or solitude, but rather exceptionally fulfilled.

After all, when it came to getting things done, Dao Ancestor Chen Xun never lost to anyone.

He often took out pots and pans to cook, with no shortage of demonic beast seafood in his storage ring. His culinary skills were top-notch, and he often sat on the path track painting.

But this painting was left to their family by the old blind man. The blank sky gradually bore some marks, a long celestial path track with several small figures busy upon it.

Every time Chen Xun worked on this painting, he would show a warm smile, never realizing how meaningful painting could be, as if he were painting their lives, painting the world they saw.

It also filled the immortal path void in the old blind man’s heart. It seemed he had never left, but remained in this painting, looking up at the sky from an inconspicuous alley, with a faint smile.
