Eternal Tale

**[Void Refinement] Master Xiuchun:** ”I think you should all stop with the pointless chatter. Just by looking at his title, you can tell he’s a person of peaceful temperament.”

”Xiuchun, I’ve been in the Kunwu Star Pavilion for over a thousand years, and I’ve met countless people. You truly are a great talent in the immortal path. I enjoy associating with great talents; it makes discussing the Dao much more engaging.”

**[Void Refinement] Master Hongguang sent a message:** ”How about we exchange the aura of the Void Transmission Disk? Of course, feel free to decline.”

**[Void Refinement] Master Xiaozhi:** ”Hongguang, you’re also a great talent in the immortal path. I’m quite interested in you. How about this, I don’t have a transmission disk, so you agree first.”

...

In an instant, no one paid attention to Chen Xun anymore, and they all started chatting among themselves, quite enthusiastically.

These runic characters were no longer just cold text.

Due to the perception of the primordial spirit, you could even sense their tone and demeanor, as if a living person was speaking right in front of you.

Damn, these people are talented!

Chen Xun silently praised in his heart, sitting quietly in the Star Pavilion, watching the messages flow like a river.The information here was completely different from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk usually transmitted major events in the region, whereas here, it was more like practical exchanges about secret realms, spiritual herbs, Qi-Enhancing Pills, and heavenly treasures.

The main thing was that every moment, there were tens of thousands of messages.

These Void Refinement cultivators could find useful information for themselves and start discussions, unaffected by other messages.

”Fellow Daoists, the starship will depart from the Southern Yu Continent in a month, heading to the Wild Boundary. The time is set.”

”Hehe, we’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. There are many mineral veins there, and our Lingbao Immortal Pavilion is ready to send a large number of cultivators.”

”But there are quite a few wild beasts there. Our Wangyue Immortal Pavilion has prepared a large number of spirit pills for you, wishing you a smooth journey. You’re welcome to come and purchase.”

...

An explosive piece of news ignited the Star Pavilion, even sparking many requests for purchasing treasures, creating a huge ripple effect. If you needed something, someone would contact you privately.

You could barter or trade with spirit stones, but generally, you had to agree on a location in reality, as the power of the Yellow-tier star compass wasn’t much.

Chen Xun felt a bit parched, like a native who had just arrived in the grand world, unfamiliar with the names and uses of those treasures.

He began to investigate some external information about the pavilion master. At this moment, a golden light shot forth, revealing a man in a green robe standing on a mountain peak, gazing into the distance with a soft sigh.

This scene kept looping, instilling awe and admiration, making one exclaim: Well played!

His titles were a long list, the eighteenth elder of the contemporary Xuanmen Immortal Sect, master of the Refinement Cave, with Unity stage cultivation...

If he were to send messages in the Star Pavilion, this long list of titles would drown out his name, making it hard for anyone to ignore.

Such titles usually commanded respect in other Star Pavilions, with many cultivators showing deference, quite effective.

Unlike ordinary cultivators who only had bare cultivation levels, their words carried less weight, just like that ’Old Man Crossing the World,’ who drew no attention.

However, cultivators with Earth rank star compasses could join ordinary Star Pavilions. You could never know if the cultivator you were communicating with was a great power or even of the same race.

Chen Xun sat quietly in the starry sky, starting to take out a small booklet to record some information. This Star Pavilion was just a drop in the ocean for the star compass, a step-by-step process.

Half a day later, Chen Xun finally couldn’t hold back and cautiously sent out a message with his primordial spirit.

**[Void Refinement] Old Man Crossing the World:** ”Fellow Daoists, does anyone need to sell trash? Discarded materials, discarded talismans, I’m buying in bulk for a long time.”

**[Void Refinement] Master Jingqian:** ”Fellow Daoist, I’ve heard there are several Trash Islands in the Mengmu Sea Region. You won’t be disappointed.”

**[Void Refinement] Wanderer Yuyu:** ”Fellow Daoist, you have an interesting hobby. I’ve heard there’s quite a bit of waste piled up in the Immortal City as well. It seems Misty is your best bet, fellow Daoist Crossing the World.”

”Haha...”

...

Only a few messages responded, but Chen Xun remained calm, not feeling awkward at all. It was just a way to test the waters, no harm done.

”It seems I need to establish some identity within this vast star compass, lest they think I’m just here to mess around.”

Chen Xun’s eyes narrowed slightly, but the star compass was indeed a good channel. Most of these people held high positions of power. ”Hmm, let’s first monopolize the trash business in the Mengmu Sea Region.”

”But strength is also of utmost importance. Qing Li’s race is worth cultivating, and those immortal slaves are fundamental to starting out.”

He began writing out plans in his small booklet. With the star compass, his vision broadened once again, and he became curious about those Star Pavilions that couldn’t be joined casually.

Then, his primordial spirit began to withdraw from the star compass. He was still too insignificant now, staying here wouldn’t help.

...

The world blurred, dazzling light shone, and the sea breeze and waves crashed in waves.

Chen Xun suddenly opened his eyes, lost in thought for a moment, but his heart was already set. He would lay low in the trash yard, and unless necessary, he wouldn’t go anywhere, steadily improving his strength.

There were too many secrets in this grand world. He couldn’t run around recklessly like in the small boundary. He already had a goal in mind.

Buzz.

A slight vibration sounded, and Chen Xun’s divine sense immediately sensed it, Luoshuang.

”Senior.”

”What is it?”

”The spiritual herbs you needed for the Flying Crossing Pill are ready. You can send someone to pick them up anytime.”

”Good. What about the other two items?”

”In a year, the business of tens of millions of mid-grade spirit stones will be personally delivered to Trash Island by me. All the necessary connections have been made, no need to trouble you, senior.”

”Good.”

Chen Xun nodded calmly, then cut off his divine sense, his gaze once again deep and focused on the sea.

His mind was still unsettled, needing some time to calm down and completely seal that scene in his heart. As long as his family was by his side, he would always remain rational.

At this moment, two manuals flew out from the storage ring, ”Water Spirit Decision Fourth Layer,” ”Water Spirit Decision Fifth Layer.”

This technique was against the natural order, and even cultivating to the fourth and fifth layers wouldn’t grant a lifespan beyond a thousand years. He had the World Soul and didn’t actually want to practice this technique, always holding reverence for longevity.

But now, after that night’s mutation, some of the principled rules in his heart had been broken. He now had to start practicing this technique anew.

”I wonder what effect combining the Water Spirit Decision with the World Soul will have.”

Chen Xun sighed softly, his breathing becoming steady, ”Thank you, Brother Yu.”

He immersed his divine sense into it, slowly beginning to comprehend. The sea breeze seemed to have a rhythm, rising and falling with Chen Xun’s breath.

An indescribable aura gradually emanated from his body.
