Eternal Tale

Shi Jianbai was momentarily speechless after hearing this and fell silent for a while.

He explained, ”This is one of the functions of the Immortal Academy. They will send a Snow Feather Immortal Puppet to verify. This puppet is connected to the Thousand Mechanism of the All-Heaven Myriad Realms Spirit Bank. Once the goods arrive, the spirit stones will naturally be transferred to your Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal.”

Snow Feather Immortal Puppet... damn it.

Chen Xun cursed inwardly. What kind of nonsense was this? He had never heard of it.

Moreover, he had no knowledge of the art of puppetry, and now they were directly giving him an immortal puppet, which he couldn’t comprehend at all.

He cleared his throat, his expression appearing quite calm. ”I see, and the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal...”

Shi Jianbai said, ”When you hand over the items to the Tianyin Pavilion, they will help you record it. I am currently at the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Academy, and the puppet has already recorded the information. The people from Tianyin Pavilion will confirm it when they deliver it.”

His primordial spirit was in a void land, his brows furrowed. Why did he feel that this Old Man Crossing the World seemed somewhat unreliable?

But ’they’ indeed needed the Returning to Origin Purple God Essence and the Purple Mansion Green Spirit Liquid.

These two treasures were not only used in the crafting of the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal but also had the effect of enhancing the Spirit Vein of the world!Most importantly, these two items were formed by gathering the essence of heaven and earth, and each heavenly domain had only one place where they could be found.

That place was also a battleground for the prodigies of the grand world, making it difficult for ordinary people to obtain them, and the yield was extremely scarce.

Most of the Returning to Origin Purple God Essence and Purple Mansion Green Spirit Liquid from the Great World of Taiyi were monopolized by the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, with even the shadow of the Boundless Great World behind it.

These items were greatly beneficial for comprehending the power of the Dao during the Unity stage, with effects surpassing even top-grade spirit stones.

They were essential for ascending to the Great Ascension stage, and no force could resist coveting them.

The most crucial factor was the outrageous combat power of the prodigies in the Unity stage, which left countless cultivators overshadowed. No cultivator in the Unity stage wished to linger in this realm for long.

Shi Jianbai dared not be careless. To be able to offer these two items and act in such a manner, there was likely an element of playing the fool to catch the tiger!

They had been posting messages within the star compass for over a hundred years, and only then did they receive a bit of feedback.

To an individual, ten thousand top-grade spirit stones seemed astronomical, but to their entire force, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

They possessed ten large top-grade spirit stone mines!

Although there were many powerful cultivators, there were very few prodigies... it was quite embarrassing. There was no way to obtain these two items other than throwing spirit stones at them.

Because of this, they dared not be careless during the transaction. They had to involve the Yao Terrace Immortal Palace and the Tianyin Pavilion, along with the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal of the All-Heaven Myriad Realms Spirit Bank, making the transaction quite secure.

Shi Jianbai’s primordial spirit had an inexplicable expression, with a glint of light in his eyes.

This Old Man Crossing the World seemed to be investigating some information, but he hadn’t revealed much yet.

Chen Xun, on the other hand, didn’t think much about the transaction, only knowing that this grand world had an Immortal Prison.

If anyone dared to covet his goods, he would hunt them down to the ends of the earth, making them live in fear day and night, and personally throw them into jail!

Chen Xun chuckled softly, ”Fellow Daoist Jianbai, our cooperation officially begins. This business won’t be the last.”

Shi Jianbai was taken aback, ”Oh? Fellow Daoist Crossing the World, do you have more?!”

Old Man Crossing the World replied, ”Naturally, but I don’t like to reveal my identity. Let’s trade this way. Will Tianyin Pavilion inspect the storage rings?”

Shi Jianbai said, ”Of course not. Some rules in the grand world are ironclad, and even the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance dares not touch them. The public opinion of the world cannot be silenced...”

His words were meaningful. The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance was never a single dominant force.

Above it were the strongest myriad races of the three thousand grand worlds, and this grand world never had a single dominant force or an unparalleled immortal suppressing the ancient lands.

Even the Eternal Immortal Kingdom and the immortal ancient forbidden lands had never achieved that, not even during the era of great slaughter among the myriad races...

Old Man Crossing the World said, ”Good, then I’m relieved. Just send me the room’s energy coordinates at the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Academy through your divine sense.”

Shi Jianbai replied, ”Hmm, Fellow Daoist Crossing the World, please keep this matter confidential. Those two items are not simple.”

Old Man Crossing the World said, ”Naturally, having mingled in the world of immortals for so long...”

Seeing his hesitant expression, Shi Jianbai chuckled, ”Understood.”

For a moment, the star compass fell silent.

Shi Jianbai just stared at the avatar of the Old Man Crossing the World for a long time, as if in thought, or in contemplation, and finally murmured a few words, ”Starry sky thieves, huh...”

”Perhaps it’s really possible. The void land is boundless, and those two items might indeed exist there.”

He shook his head with a light laugh. Collaborating with starry sky thieves was indeed unprecedented.

However, those people were ruthless, disregarding the ironclad rules of the grand world. It was best not to probe too deeply, lest one invite trouble.

This grand world held too many secrets, and seeking too much would not benefit oneself greatly.

Old Man Crossing the World said, ”I wonder when Hengjin Sanren and Tang Shuang will arrive. I want to wait for them.”

Chen Xun asked another question. He had once had pleasant conversations with these two in this unnamed star compass, and they were knowledgeable. He wanted to inquire about some information.

However, the Yellow-tier star compass couldn’t directly exchange the aura of the sound transmission disks, so they could only contact each other this way. But he hadn’t seen them in recent years.

There was also someone named Luan Wo, whose name was a bit strange and rarely spoke. He wasn’t familiar with him, so he didn’t inquire.

Shi Jianbai said, ”Hengjin Sanren perished seventy years ago, Tang Shuang disappeared forty years ago, and Luan Wo entered the Great Desolate ten years ago and perished.”

Chen Xun was shocked upon seeing the message, momentarily at a loss for words. The world of immortals was, after all, the world of immortals, with endless dangers lurking beneath its seemingly peaceful surface.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and with a thought, he asked, ”Then their presence in the star pavilion...”

Shi Jianbai replied, ”A hundred years after their demise, their soul imprints will naturally dissipate in the star compass, and their past will vanish from the star compass as well. In a few years, I will have new people join.”

Old Man Crossing the World said, ”Hmm, then I won’t wait for them. I’ll go back and prepare.”

Shi Jianbai said, ”Alright.”

At this moment, the star pavilion dimmed, and Chen Xun’s primordial spirit withdrew from the star compass.

Shi Jianbai also fell into silence, his eyes slightly narrowed.

This Old Man Crossing the World should not be engaged with too much until his true purpose was known. However, those two items were only part of their goal.

Anyone who reached such a realm was not easy to deal with, each with a deeper mind than the last, all being people who took one step and saw a hundred steps ahead.

...

By the seaside.

Chen Xun gazed into the distance with a calm and serene look, but the surroundings were already filled with wisps of blue smoke. He raised his eyebrows once, then again...

Black Bull sat cross-legged nearby, eyes half-closed, his mouth full of devout mooing sounds.

Whoosh!

A black fishing line shot out, hooking Black Bull in an instant. The latter screamed in surprise, feeling as if he were floating like an immortal, already soaring into the air!

Chen Xun stood up, holding a fishing rod, and shouted, ”Bull, make a catch!”

”Moo~~~”

Black Bull’s eyes were still filled with bewilderment, his strong body struggling wildly in the air. He was clearly absorbing the purple qi of heaven and earth, so how did Chen Xun manage to fish him up!

Chen Xun looked out at the distant sea, where a thin mist lingered, and the golden sun was rising, sweeping away the gloom from earlier.
