Eternal Tale

They spent three days exchanging items and some formation resources.

Chen Xun and Black Bull were grinning from ear to ear, the line between being ordinary and bandit-like was just a thought away.

They truly hoped to encounter some evil cultivators or those with inexplicable hatred and mockery towards them, so they could rob them of their treasures. There were just too many good things in this grand world!

Chen Xun exchanged for thirty billion mid-grade spirit stones, feeling content, while the remaining spirit stones could only be converted into ten thousand contributions.

Black Bull exchanged some seeds of rare flowers and herbs for Little Crane, each with different effects.

He also exchanged a few Earth-tier Image Stones for Little Chi, using the rest to exchange for others’ legacy divine sense formation diagrams.

However, the Immortal Puppet Forging Method required a hundred thousand contributions, not to mention the materials needed. It made Chen Xun swallow hard; these were things that many Immortal Pavilions didn’t sell, and who knows how many great powers’ legacies were consolidated here.

”Let’s go, let’s go.” Chen Xun led them out of the grand hall, looking delighted, and whispered, ”They even have the World Soul there, Bull, it’s up to you!”

Black Bull snorted, eyes gleaming with determination, ready to clean out the Contribution Hall of the Celestial Path Track. Earned by skill, no one could say a word against them!

”Big brother, what’s the plan next?” Little Crane asked with a smile, leaning against Black Bull, ”That senior Heavenly Venerable seemed to see right through you and second brother.””Third sister, that’s not quite right.” Chen Xun’s expression gradually turned serious, ”Bull and I never felt any probing, it’s just that our cultivating immortality path in the grand world is too easily traced.”

”Combining this information with those people’s vast knowledge, I wouldn’t be surprised if they deduced everything.”

He finished with a faint smile, ”The plan is to proceed step by step, head to the Void Land of the Celestial Path Track to continue growing stronger.”

”Moo~”

”Understood, big brother.” Little Crane’s eyes flickered with a glimmer, ”My life-bound magical artifact has undergone millennia of refinement, and now in the Void Refinement phase, it actually has the opportunity to open a path.”

”Huh? Sister Crane... what does opening a path mean?” Little Chi shivered, pulled back to reality from the fantasy of the treasure list he had just seen.

”Oh?” Chen Xun showed some interest, surprised that third sister had hidden so deeply, he casually asked, ”Is it the Five Elements Yin and Yang?”

”Big brother, it is not.”

”Moo?”

”Immortal path, source...” Little Crane slowly and heavily uttered three words, ”All things in heaven and earth have a source, the Five Elements Yin and Yang have a source, even tracing back to immortal history, there is a source, from the ancient beginning, there should be a source to pass on the path.”

Source path.

Chen Xun and Black Bull exchanged a glance unintentionally, Little Crane’s true form traced back to the Crane Spirit Tree that spread across the grand world and small boundaries of cultivating immortality.

With growing knowledge, this once common Crane Spirit Tree had become anything but simple.

It not only devoured spirits but could also nourish heaven and earth, the Spirit Vein might be the remains of this thing evolved over time!

This conjecture was confirmed when Chen Xun later returned to the Five Aggregates Sect. Now, with Spirit Veins flourishing everywhere, it was hard not to wonder how many ancient Crane Spirit Trees were buried beneath the ground, but how did they perish...

Moreover, Little Crane’s true form could devour the source to form a boundary of its own, such a situation was a great calamity for living beings, their longevity was equally destructive to heaven and earth, self-proclaimed as the three great tumors.

Chen Xun and Black Bull had never ignored Little Crane’s true form, always nurturing it with the World Soul to keep its vitality from fading.

But the Five Elements qi and spiritual qi it devoured were vast, yet the spiritual qi of the grand world was so abundant, it was like taking a drop from the ocean, causing no ripples.

Chen Xun was silent for a moment, then smiled, ”It’s good to find it, then there will be a direction for cultivation in the future.”

”Big brother... a ’Bright Heart and Heavenly Wisdom’ spiritual root has begun to sprout within me, reading is quite useful too.” Little Crane looked at second brother’s serious expression, then suddenly changed the subject, ”Hehe!”

”Ah, isn’t that right, this is good, this is good.” Chen Xun’s eyes lit up, preferring to hear this over Little Crane finding some cultivation path, ”How could big brother lead you astray!”

”Moo moo~”

”That’s great news, it proves our third sister truly has great wisdom.” Chen Xun clasped his hands behind his back, feeling quite emotional, and suddenly had a lot to say, ”As for that Immortal path, source, just cultivate as you see fit, reading more is the right path.”

”Mm-hmm, alright~” Little Crane’s smile gradually became sweet, turning to look at Black Bull, ”Second brother, don’t worry, I’ll listen to you all and won’t act recklessly.”

Black Bull quickly snorted, as if relieved, his eyes becoming gentle again, even nuzzling Little Crane a few times.

Little Chi let out a low growl, eyes filled with contemplation... it was still in the early Void Refinement phase, unable to find its own path independently.

According to the grand world’s immortal path knowledge, it’s best to sever the Great Dao chains in the late Void Refinement phase, comprehend what the Great Dao is, and thus advance to the Unity stage.

Then, in this realm, refine one’s own Great Dao, completely find the path one wants to take, and cultivate in this direction, triggering the rules of heaven and earth to advance to the Great Ascension!

But no matter what, to truly find one’s path, at least it should be in the Unity stage... how did Sister Crane comprehend it in the Void Refinement phase, her life-bound magical artifact is truly formidable...

Little Chi sighed deeply in its heart, Brother Xun and Brother Bull had been completely filtered out by it.

These two were beings more monstrous than immortal path geniuses, no longer within the realm of the immortal path.

It also began to ponder, wondering if it could, like Sister Crane, come up with the idea of opening a path just by thinking about it.

Its racial talent had reached its limit, unable to provide it with any extra legacy.

But in this family of monsters, Little Chi had become somewhat ordinary, even beginning to doubt if it was truly a low-level spirit beast, as it didn’t even regard condensing Heaven and Earth Phenomenon in the Divine Transformation phase.

Half an hour later... its eyes were somewhat dazed, the lion’s head drooped, temporarily giving up, unable to think of anything, nor gain any insight.

Tap...

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came, Chen Xun looked at the vast void in all directions, a hint of cold arrogance between his brows, and slowly walked to the forefront.

His robe was light as the wind, gently fluttering with his movements, his demeanor transcendent yet unassuming, like a solitary peak on the earth, unshakable by wind, rain, or thunder.

Little Chi focused its mind, suddenly looking up, Black Bull and Little Crane also had a hint of astonishment in their eyes as they looked at that tall back.

”It’s a good place for Tribulation Crossing.” Chen Xun’s gaze swept over the formation palaces, formation halls, and the tracks extending far into the distance, a slight smile on his lips, ”Bull, Little Crane, Little Chi, let’s work hard on the Celestial Path Track first.”

”Moo!”

”Mm-hmm.”

”Roar!”

”Earth-tier Inspector, capable of stacking various path track nodes, paving the way on the twelve main path tracks of the Mysterious Formation Base, refining node lengths of two paths, two hundred top-grade spirit stones.”

Chen Xun’s gaze sharpened, looking in a certain direction, ”Bull, head to the depths of the void, take us to the main path track of the Chen character, we won’t leave there, with such a big plan behind us, there’s no safer place in the grand world than here.”

”Moo moo!” Black Bull nodded, understanding, they were to undergo Tribulation Crossing here, and help third sister and fourth brother sever their myriad Dao chains, indeed there was no better place than the Void Land.

”Let’s go.”

Four figures turned into streams of light and disappeared instantly, their expressions gradually becoming solemn, their figures blending into the boundless void like dust, with much still to be done.
