Eternal Tale

”Regarding this matter, I will inform Chen Xun, or perhaps he already knows.”

Frog Daoist crossed his arms, his gaze becoming seasoned and steady. ”Let’s first tend to the Spiritual Medicine Garden. The Chen family has sent over many rare spiritual herbs.”

”Oh, alright.” White Spirit nodded blankly. ”Daoist, we need to create the harsh environment these rare spiritual herbs require. After the expansion of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, tens of thousands of miles around it have been left desolate.”

”Quack! Nonsense!” Frog Daoist nearly rolled his eyes. ”Otherwise, what are we here for? Do you expect immortals to handle such trivial matters themselves?”

”Daoist... we have no resources, no spirit stones.”

White Spirit cautiously uttered, having spent so many years in the Five Aggregates Sect, its storage ring was cleaner than its face. ”We can’t just take things from the Jade Bamboo Range...”

”The transport ship from the Ancient Immortal Kingdom will arrive soon. I’ll take this opportunity to ask Chen Xun for help.”

Frog Daoist sighed softly, ultimately defeated by reality. It’s better to directly ask for help rather than play tricks. ”This Spiritual Medicine Garden is built for the entire Five Aggregates Sect, so it’s not a big problem.”

”Chirp chirp!” White Spirit’s eyes lit up with joy. ”Then Daoist, let’s go cultivate the Spiritual Medicine Garden. The spiritual spring of the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan is excellent for nurturing spiritual soil!”

”Heh, Little White Spirit, you’re right. Let’s go.” Frog Daoist snorted lightly. ”We have thousands of years of experience working in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. No one in the Five Aggregates Sect can surpass us, which means no one can replace us!””The position of guardian immortal beast of the Five Aggregates Sect is already in this Daoist’s pocket.”

”Chirp!”

White Spirit spread its wings, and together with Frog Daoist, they instantly vanished into the formation restrictions, diving into the vast and barren Spiritual Medicine Garden.

They began diligently cultivating, without bringing other fierce beasts...

After all, this is a private skill, not to be passed on to foreign beasts, so no fierce or spiritual beasts could shake their status, and the great enemy Rengar had already left!

The Five Aggregates Sect had also fallen into complete tranquility, but the Jade Bamboo Range was too vast and still expanding, forcing the Elemental Infant phase disciples to craft flying magical artifacts, as there was no other way...

The Crane Spirit Trees within the mountain range suffered greatly. The ancestor had decreed that the Crane Spirit Trees of the grand world were indestructible, not only used for making medicine cases but also for crafting treasure ships. Did you see the guardian river of the ring-shaped mountains?!

There, the Boundary-breaking Ship, the Dao Ancestor’s vehicle, crafted from Crane Spirit Trees, caused quite a stir, leading to rampant logging of Crane Spirit Trees...

The disciples’ cave abodes in the Five Aggregates Sect were becoming more extravagant, with each person having at least three, all being cultivated in secret, creating a fervent atmosphere.

A trend of competing cave abodes emerged, seeing whose cave abode had the best survival capabilities.

Chen Xun continued tirelessly punching at the peak of the ninety-nine ring-shaped mountains, sitting cross-legged to absorb the purple qi of heaven and earth at dawn, and the starlight and moonlight at night.

His entire being was completely immersed in the tranquil world, harmonizing with all things, sensing all things. An immortal should not only be about cultivation level but also possess a supreme state of mind.

This state was not about the battle intent of a prodigy, nor an invincible Dao heart, but about tranquility, reverence, and understanding of every flower, leaf, grass, and stone, absorbing the qi of heaven and earth, glimpsing the way of getting free from the world...

And time quietly slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Today, the sun was shining brightly, all things were revived, a day of good fortune.

In the distant True Spirit Ancient City, a million miles away from the Jade Bamboo Range, the sky suddenly erupted with earth-shattering roars!

Boom—

Boom!

Massive warships engraved with the character for ”immortal” sliced through the sky. The leading warship was thousands of feet long, like a towering beast moving across the sky.

Surrounding it were hundreds of warships, each several hundred feet long, escorting it, creating a magnificent spectacle!

The various creatures within the True Spirit Ancient City looked up, their eyes filled with deep shock.

Wasn’t this the warship fleet of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance... When did the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance become so audacious in the Wild Heaven Region?!

However, invisible ripples suddenly spread, and countless transport ships, tens of thousands of feet long, seemed to teleport, twisting space, arriving behind the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance’s fleet in the blink of an eye.

As they appeared, exclamations and clamor instantly drowned the entire True Spirit Ancient City.

”Xuanwei Heaven domain, Ancient Immortal Kingdom, Heavenly Melody!”

”Transport treasure ships tens of thousands of feet long... How vast is this, could it be that the Ancient Immortal Kingdom is moving into the Wild Heaven Region?!”

”My god... The construction and material of this treasure ship, could it be the work of cultivators?! I don’t believe it!!”

...

Even from tens of thousands of feet high, the overwhelming pressure still bore down on the ground, like dark clouds pressing down on the city.

This scene made many weaker cultivators tremble like chaff, having never seen such a colossal thing that could teleport like a stream of light. It’s known that the space of the Wild Heaven Region is incredibly stable!

How powerful has the Ancient Immortal Kingdom become, that even the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance’s warships can’t compare to a thousandth of the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom’s transport ships... It’s too exaggerated.

It completely overturned their understanding of the path of cultivating immortality, and some creatures even felt a vague sense of enlightenment upon witnessing this scene, as if fortune had arrived, unstoppable.

Chu family.

In many places within their territory, bursts of commotion erupted as well. The Chu family’s old ancestor’s vitality was now extremely depleted, the backlash from forcing a Tribulation Crossing had finally come, unable to break through the initial stage of Tribulation Crossing.

His entire being carried a sense of decay, yet his eyes remained bright, quietly gazing at the high sky.

Chu Zhen also appeared from somewhere, standing behind the Chu family’s old ancestor, her face more mature and cold, her eyes faintly revealing a hint of dimness.

”Zhen’er.” The Chu family’s old ancestor looked at the massive fleet stopped above the ancient city, showing a faint smile. ”Back then, I succeeded in Tribulation Crossing thanks to your blessing.”

”Ancestor...” Chu Zhen pressed her lips tightly. ”I have nothing to do with that person anymore, we’ve long stopped interfering with each other.”

The Chu family’s old ancestor’s gaze deepened, not responding to Chu Zhen, but speaking to himself. ”I once wanted you to enter the sect, then the Immortal Palace, but almost pushed you into the fire pit.”

”Since then, I haven’t found a good teacher for you.”

The Chu family’s old ancestor sighed slightly. ”During the chaos of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, the remnant souls of True Spirits protected the ancient city, never daring to let you venture out. Now that these fellow Daoists are willing to come here, they won’t wait long.”

”...Ancestor.” Chu Zhen’s pupils suddenly contracted, a sudden pang in her heart.

”The longevity families look down on our ancient city families.”

The Chu family’s old ancestor’s face suddenly became more kindly. ”Behind the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance is that person, their intentions are already clear, staying above the ancient city, just waiting for you to decide, respecting your decision.”

”Such an opportunity, I couldn’t even dream of it, never thought my Chu family could have such an honor, even letting you choose.”

He was wise and experienced, able to analyze the intentions behind a small gesture clearly. ”You go to the Five Aggregates Sect, I am at ease, and so is the Chu family.”

”If you can make a name for yourself there, perhaps the Jun family will take you seriously.”

The Chu family’s old ancestor’s voice was harmonious, as if he had long seen through the world, smiling. ”Zhen’er, our Chu family is weak, can’t help you much, but I hope you can seize the opportunity, go further, and not leave too many regrets.”

”Zhen’er, go with peace of mind, see what true immortal strength is, what the vastness of heaven and earth truly is.”

The Chu family’s old ancestor stroked his beard and laughed, bowing towards the distant sky. ”Thank you, senior... The Chu family will never forget!”

Chu Zhen’s entire body trembled, the feeling of unease in her heart continuously surged, her gaze following the ancestor’s towards the sky, softly murmuring, ”Five Aggregates...”

”Five Aggregates Sect...”
