Eternal Tale

”Mo Mo~~” Before Ling Kongshen could think further, Black Bull nodded repeatedly, snorting, ”We accept this marriage proposal!”

”Hahaha...” Chen Xun laughed heartily, rarely seeing Black Bull make a decision before him.

Naturally, he had to give Black Bull some face, so he looked at Ling Kongshen and said, ”General Ling, we have no objections to Brother Mo’s marriage; we respect your family’s decision.”

”We also acknowledge the relationship.”

Chen Xun’s tone softened considerably, and he had no more thoughts on this topic. ”Bull, bring out ten Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruits as our family’s engagement gift.”

”Mo Mo!”

Black Bull let out a soft cry, and ten lustrous Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruits appeared on the table, instantly captivating Ling Kongshen’s gaze.

The treasure’s aura filled the air, rich with spiritual qi, even stirring the qi and blood within. Just a whiff of its scent turned a strand of Ling Kongshen’s white hair black again—a peerless treasure!

Even with Ling Kongshen’s vast experience, he had never seen such a life-extending treasure, especially one that seemed to possess a spiritual essence, as if it were about to gain consciousness.

A strong sense of shock and awe surged within him. This treasure was likely close to being an innate dao medicine that could extend life by five thousand years, deserving the title of postnatal dao medicine!Chen Xun, confident and at ease, sipped his health tea, having anticipated Ling Kongshen’s reaction.

After all, this item had forged a friendship with the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan, and even the Emperor couldn’t refuse it, let alone a Tribulation Crossing cultivator like him.

”Dao Ancestor, what is this?!”

”Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit, each extends life by three thousand years,” Chen Xun replied lightly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

It seemed that the great ancestor hadn’t informed anyone about the situation of the Five Aggregates Sect, which was quite considerate.

”Three thousand years?!”

Ling Kongshen’s beard trembled as he suppressed his inner excitement. ”Dao Ancestor, such a precious engagement gift, our Ling family...”

”Hehe, General Ling, didn’t I just say that overthinking isn’t always beneficial?”

Chen Xun spoke slowly, a glint of sharpness in his long eyes. ”Brother Mo is marrying into the Ling family of the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom. In the future, he may go to the battlefield. I only hope your family treats him well and doesn’t bully him.”

From the perspective of worldly principles, he understood well that he had to demonstrate the strength of the bride’s family; otherwise, the title of marrying into another family wouldn’t sound good. Who knew what the Immortal Kingdom was really like?

”Mo...” Black Bull secretly chuckled. Chen Xun was acting like he was marrying off a daughter. If Ye Han’s little brother heard his elder brother speak of him like this, his reputation might be ruined.

Ling Kongshen was speechless, his mouth twitching slightly. ”Dao Ancestor, rest assured, with you backing him, no one would dare... bully him.”

If Mo Ye Han returned to marry, he would already be a Tribulation Crossing Venerable, making the notion of bullying him impossible.

But since the Dao Ancestor had spoken, he naturally had to agree; arguing was pointless.

”Then I am relieved.”

Chen Xun’s eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and he glanced at Black Bull. They could now casually help old friends with just a word, making cultivating immortality very meaningful!

Black Bull also looked at Chen Xun with a smile, feeling at ease. However, the journey to rise had been arduous for Chen Xun.

They chatted about many things, avoiding further discussion about the Immortal Kingdom and Tian Yun. Ling Kongshen, being an old fox, knew that this Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements didn’t want to be entangled in too much karma now.

Because his strength was only at the Qi cultivation phase, but after clearing the air, their relationship became somewhat closer, and they had a pleasant conversation, discussing the wonders of the Immortal Kingdom.

They also finalized the location for Mo Ye Han and Ling Qiuchu’s wedding, at the most famous site in the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom—Moonlit Immortal Cliff.

Half a day later, the evening glow filled the sky.

Ling Kongshen glanced at the sky and stood up, cupping his hands. ”Then I won’t disturb the Dao Ancestor any longer.”

”General Ling, feel free to visit our Five Aggregates Sect anytime.”

Chen Xun casually said, ”Bull, we’re all family here, see General Ling and his people off.”

”Mo Mo~” Black Bull nodded, no problem!

”Dao Ancestor, our Immortal Kingdom’s transport ships haven’t delivered all the resources to the Five Aggregates Sect yet; how can we leave halfway?”

Ling Kongshen frowned slightly but maintained a respectful demeanor. ”Dao Ancestor, you might have misunderstood something.”

”Hmm? General Ling, aren’t these fifty transport ships a gift to the Five Aggregates Sect?”

Chen Xun’s expression suddenly turned awkward, asking in disbelief, ”I thought these transport ships were all gifts to the Five Aggregates Sect, and I even had the disciples prepare docking spaces.”

”Mo?” Black Bull also looked at Ling Kongshen with great confusion.

Goodness! You really dare to think!

Ling Kongshen was stunned for a long time. He considered himself a rather thick-skinned person, but seeing this Dao Ancestor of the Five Aggregates Sect, he felt a bit ashamed...

The world was indeed vast, and there was always a higher mountain.

His Immortal Kingdom had sent such abundant immortal resources from afar, and this Dao Ancestor still wanted to take the transport ships too? How would they return, stepping on clouds with a smile?!

No wonder he wanted this half-immortal realm Senior Black Bull to see them off; that was the implication...

Ling Kongshen thought about it and laughed, a meaningful laugh that made Chen Xun’s face show a hint of embarrassment.

”Hehe, it seems I was mistaken.”

Chen Xun shook his head and sighed, patting Black Bull. ”After the sacrificial dao, my realm fell, affecting my mind. Bull, you can’t blame me.”

”Mo Mo~~” Black Bull quickly nuzzled Chen Xun, showing a deep brotherly bond.

This scene almost convinced Ling Kongshen, who cupped his hands and laughed, not lingering on the topic. ”Then Dao Ancestor, I’ll go help them, so we can return to court soon.”

”Alright, General Ling, as you wish.” Chen Xun smiled, ”Putting aside all identities, we are family. Treat the Five Aggregates Sect as your own place.”

Ling Kongshen nodded solemnly, leaving as if escaping.

Although this trip wasn’t entirely smooth, it fulfilled several of his wishes. The only variable was this Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, whose thoughts and personality were so unpredictable that it was impossible to discern his next move.

He hadn’t witnessed his invincible immortal demeanor, leaving a slight disappointment...

After he left.

Chen Xun and Black Bull both fell into contemplation. Why not gift the fifty colossal transport treasure ships to the Five Aggregates Sect, especially since they weren’t barring the Immortal Kingdom’s people from entering the Wild Star Sea?

Three days later.

The Immortal Kingdom’s transport ships set sail, and the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance’s warships flew in another direction. Qian Shan and Yun Shao also gathered with Chen Xun and the others, jokingly saying:

”If our qi and blood decline, we’ll definitely come to Lord Crossing the World’s sect to retire.”
