Eternal Tale

They exchanged a few casual words before turning into smoke and disappearing, erasing all traces in an instant.

These black-clothed individuals had begun refining the Dao bones of the demon clan’s Heavenly Sovereign, leaving not a single residue, their methods ruthless to the extreme, fearing nothing.

The events in the Vast Sea Law Domain quickly escalated, with the Vast Sea Dragon Palace enraged, waves surging for tens of thousands of feet, ”Such audacity, to dare kill our Dragon Palace’s Heavenly Sovereign!”

As for what was discovered, it naturally involved the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance and the black-clothed individuals.

In their fury, the Vast Sea Dragon Palace was further incensed, ”Such audacity, to dare provoke the descendants of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, greed knows no bounds, this child is destined for a life-and-death calamity!”

As for who these black-clothed individuals were, or which power they emerged from, no one knew, and they dared not investigate further. Unable to find answers, they could only let the matter rest.

However, they casually exterminated a few disobedient small clans in the Vast Sea Law Domain, resulting in the tragic death of millions in a single day, yet such events did not stir any waves.

In the Wild Heaven Region, this seemed like a trivial matter, unnoticed and unremarked upon, a vivid display of the law of the jungle.

Meanwhile, within the Star Palace Immortal Court.

There was no sun, no moonlit night, only endless constellations.An elder sighed deeply, standing silently outside the Immortal Court for a long time. Just a glance, and his millennia of savings were destroyed in an instant.

With the headgear that blocked all immortal aura donned, those black-clothed individuals were truly ruthless, killing indiscriminately, unafraid of consequences...

”Xing Heng.”

Suddenly, a vast and ancient voice echoed amidst the endless constellations, ethereal yet exuding supreme immortal aura.

”...Greetings, Master.” Xing Heng, dejected, cupped his hands, heavily injured.

”Focus on cultivating within the Immortal Court, do not venture out again.”

The immortal voice was devoid of joy or sorrow, trembling with the cold constellations, ”Upon your return, reflect at Star Sea Cliff for a thousand years, your greed is too great, now you have nothing, have you realized anything?”

”Disciple... acknowledges the mistake!” Xing Heng bowed deeply, his face suddenly appearing much older, ”On the path to immortality, one must tread carefully, not rush, nor harbor any illusions.”

”Your Dao heart is not sincere, it seems you fear falling rather than acknowledging your mistake.”

The immortal voice carried undisguised disappointment, a pair of constellation eyes slowly emerged in the sky, calmly overlooking Xing Heng, ”Your path to immortality ends here, go to Star Sea Cliff and reflect.”

”Master...” Xing Heng abruptly raised his head, not daring to argue.

”Three breaths’ time.”

This figure seemed unwilling to say more, feeling that even one more word was a waste of time.

”Yes!” Xing Heng’s eyes widened, mana burst forth within him, stepping towards the Star Palace Immortal Court.

As he departed, a calm, profound voice echoed from the sky, ”In a thousand years, I will take you to the Five Aggregates Sect to apologize to the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements for your reckless actions. Once is enough for us cultivators.”

”Yes, Master!”

Xing Heng’s thoughts had stalled, not daring to think further, only rushing towards Star Sea Cliff, causing the surrounding elders to furrow their brows, already understanding the cause and effect.

Xing Heng had wanted to take a gamble, but his nature was such that he would seize any opportunity, having fought his way through.

But this time, he clearly hit a wall, whether it was the opponent’s top strength or the person behind them, they were likely not weaker than the Star Palace Immortal Court. Xing Heng... should not have gambled on that person’s nature.

Above the sky, the immortal’s gaze was grave.

He had long known of this matter, but did not stop Xing Heng, wanting to see where the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements’ bottom line lay, and how deeply he had hidden himself.

As for whether Xing Heng would fall, he was not worried, he would naturally intervene to ensure his survival.

However, the outcome he witnessed was that the person blatantly intervened in the younger generation’s disputes, utterly shameless, only outsiders could die, not fellow Daoists!

If one were to plot against this person, there were countless ways to drag him down, the waters of the Three Thousand Great Worlds were not something a mere Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements could fathom...

His eyes returned to calm, unperturbed.

This Star Palace Immortal still believed that immortals should refrain from meddling in the affairs of the younger generation, focusing on suppressing the source and seeking the Dao was the way.

Back then, when that Ominous Immortal personally eradicated the Illusory Moon Immortal Sect, creating the Ten Absolutes Ominous Domain, everyone turned a blind eye, thinking it was over, yet here it comes again!

Chen Xun also began to be increasingly unwelcome among many immortals due to this matter, he could deceive the younger generation, but not them.

This Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements wanted to sit back and control the tides, but his foundation and realm were far from sufficient!

However, if Chen Xun heard these immortals’ thoughts, he would likely laugh heartily, he never cared for these grand world immortals, perfectly aligning with this Dao Ancestor’s intentions, let’s see who survives in the end!

...

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

The sun and moon lost their light, the Dao Spirit Holy Land in the Extreme Cold Ice Plains, frozen for millions of miles, suddenly shattered, shocking billions of beings, it was a Heavenly Sovereign power with over ten thousand years of legacy...

Yet it was destroyed by a group of black-clothed individuals wielding destructive world laws!

All the foundation of the Dao Spirit Holy Land was taken, not even sparing hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, and those black-clothed individuals didn’t utter a word, only casting warning glances around, the Wild Heaven Region was not covered by the rules of the grand world.

The remaining weak disciples of the Holy Land were dumbfounded... what sin had they committed? Who were these people? Who should they seek revenge against in the future? Qian Shan?

These hooded black-clothed individuals brazenly entered the Extreme Cold Ice Plains, yet the major powers here remained silent, observing coldly, unwilling to clash with the lingering might of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements.

The hooded black-clothed individuals knew when to stop, taking unowned items and leaving, not lingering in this vast region, it was not their familiar territory, the sooner they left, the safer.

In the Jade Bamboo Range, Five Aggregates Sect.

Little Chi and the others finally returned with Qian Shan’s younger brother, Chen Xun, upon hearing of Little Chi’s return, uncharacteristically sat on a large rock by the mountain gate, gazing into the distance with a relaxed smile.

The ancient beast guarding nearby felt uneasy, unable to communicate with the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, it sat awkwardly, also gazing into the distance.

To be honest, it preferred to sit alone outside the mountain gate, absorbing the auspicious aura from the immortal’s inscriptions...

Perhaps after squatting for ten thousand years, it would possess the aura of an auspicious beast, and its path would broaden!

After a few days, they finally met.

Chen Xun laughed heartily, lifting Little Chi and spinning him around a few times, saying this kid had grown heavier, seems like he had a good time out there for a few hundred years!

Song Heng and Gu Lisheng also came to meet with smiles, their bodies trembling slightly, it was indeed more comfortable in their own territory...

But when Chen Xun saw the baby boy in Qionghua Shuiyu’s arms, he finally couldn’t hold back and asked:

”Shuiyu, whose child is this? Why are you two alone... such audacity and recklessness!”
