Eternal Tale

”Moo!!!”

Black Bull let out a long bellow, its fur fluttering as it excitedly charged at Chen Xun with a Black Bull Rush.

Bang! Whoosh—

”Hey, damn it!! You son of a... Bull~~~”

A furious roar echoed from the horizon as a figure in the Qi cultivation phase was launched straight into the sea of clouds by the half-immortal Black Bull, gradually disappearing and turning into a speck of light.

”Eldest brother!!”

”Brother Xun!!”

”Factory owner!!”

”Fishing Emperor?!”

...Astonished gazes turned towards the scene, as the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements vanished right before everyone’s eyes, leaving them in a daze.

Bai Li Feng Yao was even more stunned, as if struck by lightning, his robe flapping wildly in the wind.

Fan Wang and Jiang Zhaocheng exchanged bewildered glances, unable to believe that such a great Dao Ancestor had been sent flying by Senior Black Bull!

The three immortals stared blankly into the distant sky, their eyes filled with unprecedented shock. They had thought the Dao Ancestor had some hidden card up his sleeve...

Unexpectedly, he had truly fallen to the Qi cultivation phase, unable to withstand even the power of a half-immortal cultivator.

Their gazes met in the air, filled with unspoken meaning, finally turning into a sigh. The once mighty Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements had ultimately fallen...

Their thoughts varied, but their main focus had long shifted away from the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements and the Five Aggregates Sect, as the outcome seemed somewhat predetermined.

The Burial Heaven Mound—Immortal Burial and Taiyi Ghost Gate—Wangyou had always followed the ancient prince—Gu Lisheng.

Meanwhile, the Yu family patriarch had always had his eyes set on Meng Sheng, with the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements seemingly shielding him from countless hardships, preventing him from being noticed or guided by the strong.

That boundary was the ancestral land of the Human Emperor... a place where astonishing fortune gathered!

The Yu family patriarch had thought deeply, suspecting that the Ji family’s decisive order to destroy that boundary held deeper schemes.

Regardless, the Yu family was determined to protect Meng Sheng’s immortal path, no matter who opposed them!

Whether it was the Boundless Myriad Clans or other families, they all thought the Yu family was crazy for daring to participate in the grand schemes of heaven and earth, siding with a rebel like the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements.

But the Yu family was exceptionally clear-headed, more so than ever before.

They openly declared their support for Meng Sheng, but others didn’t believe them... thinking the Yu family followed the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, when in fact, it wasn’t much related.

Though the three were thoughtful, they continued to gaze into the distant sky, their eyes flashing with a peculiar light.

The Five Elements Immortal Body of the Dao Ancestor indeed still existed, but he couldn’t exert his full strength.

The sky.

Frog Daoist, feeling utterly dejected, was free-falling from the sky, plummeting towards the Five Aggregates Immortal Platform. As he fell, he happened to brush past the ascending Chen Xun, a moment that felt eternal...

”Dao Ancestor?”

”Just came to see you.”

A gentle yet calm voice came from afar, growing more distant in haste.

Frog Daoist’s expression shifted, quickly standing still atop the sky, his small eyes spinning faster than the needle of Song Heng’s Treasure-Seeking Compass.

”Dao Ancestor, were you threatened by villains and fell to the Qi cultivation phase?!”

”Stupid frog, still spouting nonsense?!!”

A voice of anger suddenly erupted from the clouds, as a world-shaking immortal force descended upon Chen Xun, with ominous creatures secretly exerting their power...

The radiant clouds dispersed, and before Frog Daoist could think further, a giant hand that covered the sky slammed down: ”Ribbit~~~!!”

Frog Daoist let out a pitiful scream, plummeting like a fireball along his previous trajectory, knowing he had misspoken again.

On the ground.

White Spirit’s eyes narrowed to slits, seeing the Daoist return, seemingly discussing important matters with the Dao Ancestor in the sky.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Dao Ancestor Chen Xun stood in the sky like a divine being, glaring at Black Bull: ”Ximen Black Bull, how dare you act presumptuously before this Dao Ancestor, prepare to die!”

Boom...

With ominous immortal power enveloping him, Chen Xun’s black hair danced wildly, his imposing aura descending from the heavens as he struck Black Bull’s head with a thunderous palm, rising with momentum, his voice like thunder, echoing in all directions:

”With strength to lift mountains and unmatched might!!”

”Moo!!!”

Rumble...

The ground of the Yin-Yang Bamboo Grove trembled, as Black Bull was lifted and slammed down hard, sending dust rolling, and even the ground nurtured by formations showed signs of cracking.

Black Bull’s eyes lost focus, collapsing powerlessly on the ground, exhaling hot breaths, subdued...

Chen Xun snorted coldly, patting the dust off his body, then cupped his hands with a smile towards the four directions: ”Everyone, just a trivial matter, please continue the feast. The Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit can extend life by three thousand years and can be slowly refined into the body.”

”The Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill is something I refine daily at dawn, when purple qi comes from the east, containing a portion of the world’s creation, refined in my immortal furnace for forty-nine days, capable of breaking through realms, extremely precious.”

”Thank you, Dao Ancestor!”

”Thank you, Dao Ancestor!”

...

Cultivators and spirit beasts from all sides expressed their gratitude, instantly forgetting the recent incident, as Chen Xun wore a serene and ethereal smile, appearing quite otherworldly.

He regained his previous demeanor, finding his own face.

In the distance, Crane Spirit let out a sigh of relief, thinking that her eldest brother was quite particular about appearances in this ’immortal path,’ with a rather thick skin.

She chuckled softly, then began conversing with the geniuses of various forces.

At the banquet of boundary creatures.

Chen Xun continued his conversation with Bai Li Feng Yao, suddenly frowning slightly: ”Abbot, you haven’t opened a temple? Why did you go to that Zen Heart Heaven Domain, the Grand Zen Temple?”

He had heard some news about the Zen Heart Heaven Domain in the star chart, a heaven domain where Buddhist cultivators from various clans of the Great World of Taiyi gathered, located in the extreme west of the Great World of Taiyi, where Buddhism thrived, with true Buddhas once preaching...

And the true Buddha of that grand world was an immortal, unexpected that the abbot had been taken there.

Bai Li Feng Yao replied, ”After the boundary’s destruction, a senior brother came to guide us... The Battle Camp is now also in the ancient immortal kingdom of the heaven domain, in the Miao Rui Immortal Court.”

”Abbot, did they take a liking to your Buddhist pills? Then why take our Battle Camp of the Boundary there?”

The more Chen Xun thought about it, the more something felt off, not believing these people at all, ”Moreover, this Zen Heart Heaven Domain, even the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance cannot govern it, it’s the only heaven domain in the Great World of Taiyi without an immortal hall.”

”No need to worry.”

Bai Li Feng Yao nodded with a smile, ”We have our own discretion, they are different from Da Li’s Buddhist sects, I once listened to the teachings under the Zen Heart Tree for a thousand years, this is the Buddhism I seek in my heart.”

”The journey is quite long.” Chen Xun pondered for a moment, ”The Wild Heaven Region is in the center of the Great World of Taiyi, and you’re in the extreme west, wouldn’t it take hundreds of years to travel back and forth...”

It had taken him years to travel from the Mengmu Sea Region to Xuanwei Heaven, let alone crossing such vast heaven domains, not every cultivator could use chaos laws to pave the way.

”Dao Ancestor, it’s fine, destiny follows the heart.”
