Eternal Tale

The appearance of these two sinners was rather peculiar, neither fully human nor beast.

They certainly didn’t align with Chen Xun’s aesthetic standards, but their vital essence was universally appealing and still wonderful.

The two sinners were now gradually leaning towards each other, a chill running straight to their skulls, their eyes filled with terror beyond measure, everything was just too abnormal!

”Crossing the World...”

”Oh? Have you two cellmates heard of our story?”

Chen Xun stood quietly a mile away from them, a cold yet kind smile emerging from beneath his hood, ”Then the transaction should go much smoother, two drops of vital essence for a ’Earth Spirit Essence’.”

Black Bull gently shook the bell, his eyes fixed on them, just waiting for the eldest brother’s command!

The faces of the two sinners turned somewhat ferocious, blood still dripping from their bodies, but now dark glows appeared above their heads, definitely spells...

But how important is vital essence, this... wait, no!

Two pieces of Earth Spirit Essence?!Their pupils slightly widened, faces filled with shock, exchanging two drops of vital essence for Earth Spirit Essence was truly a profitable deal!

”So, my fellow cellmates, what do you say?”

Chen Xun said with a smile, openly taking out two pieces of transparent essence radiating a rich blood glow from his backpack, ”This is genuine, no deception.”

”Moo~~” Black Bull raised his head, echoing in agreement.

”Fellow Daoist Crossing the World, I’ve heard of your story, willing to offer a drop of my vital essence.”

One sinner cautiously responded, the hood obscuring his expression, but a fierce aura was evident, ”Just hope you won’t take my life!”

He took a deep breath, not mentioning those stories, just this confident entrance was enough to intimidate him, leaving no room for resistance, the methods within the Immortal Prison were too limited.

If at such a time and place one were to make any threats, upon release, elders would surely block you, that would truly be foolish.

”Very well, those who recognize the times are wise, haha.”

Chen Xun laughed, growing increasingly fond of the Immortal Prison, ”Here you go, catch.”

As soon as he finished speaking, with a whoosh, the Earth Spirit Essence shot towards him, landing steadily in his hand, the latter solemnly cupped his hands, ”Thank you, fellow Daoist Crossing the World.”

Without another word, he forced two drops of vital essence from his body, sending them towards Chen Xun.

The vital essence of the Void Refinement phase was immensely powerful, each drop as thick as a thumb, exuding an astonishing force of vitality.

The sinner’s face instantly turned pale, and he turned to flee without looking back, needing to find a secluded place to restore his vitality.

Chen Xun looked at Black Bull, ”Bull, please update the ledger, cross off a line.”

”Moo!” Black Bull nodded quickly, taking out a rather hefty ledger, and began flipping through it rapidly, but it was clear that it was a compilation of many smaller ledgers...

Chen Xun held a suona in his hand, looking at the stunned sinner, ”Cellmate, will you offer it?”

”Fellow Daoist!”

The sinner suddenly cried out in shock, as if greatly stimulated, ”I... I have no vital essence in my body, I am of the Cloud Clan, we do not cultivate the physical body, nor condense the essence of vitality.”

”Then what are you doing here dueling?!”

”Moo moo!”

Chen Xun and Black Bull raised their eyebrows, scolding him directly, in this century of fighting and killing, who wasn’t doing it to restore vitality or enhance the physical body.

After all this time, were they just fighting for nothing?! They immediately began recalling some information about the Cloud Clan.

This clan was somewhat mysterious, with origins quite ancient, rumored to have formed from the glow of clouds at the dawn of the world, like darlings of the heavens.

Their bodies were slender and soft, seemingly condensed from mist, not solid, with skin pale as clouds and eyes deep as the moon in the sky.

Around them, clouds often swirled, like draped in a mysterious veil, making it impossible to discern gender.

However, this one appeared rather bedraggled, not matching any of the legends!

”Fellow Daoist, he wanted to kill me, I was just resisting!”

The Cloud Clan sinner’s voice turned hoarse, his expression filled with unwillingness, ”This person wanted to kill me and take me out to refine into a treasure, if my Cloud Clan were refined into a defensive magical artifact, it could shield divine sense.”

Chen Xun and Black Bull suddenly felt a bit deflated, like losing interest, waving their hands with a sigh.

But indeed, the races in this grand world were truly bizarre, eye-opening, Chen Xun and Black Bull walked away with smiles, arms around each other’s shoulders, still faintly hearing some words: ”Hey, Bull, this Cloud Clan is a bit lacking, let’s take a detour next time.”

”Moo moo~~”

Black Bull nodded seriously, even turning back to take a look at the Cloud Clan, remembering the characteristics of this race in the Immortal Prison.

The Cloud Clan sinner’s eyes were filled with rage, fists clenched, to be looked down upon like this?!

However, he still respectfully called out from behind, ”Thank you, fellow Daoist, for sparing my life.”

”Hehe, no problem, no problem, let’s part on good terms.”

Chen Xun waved his hand, and with Black Bull, gradually turned into a mass of black mist, completely disappearing from the place.

But just as they were about to vanish completely, suddenly the ground’s patterns produced a massive tremor, from hundreds of miles away, a terrifying murderous aura swept in, engulfing everything!

Chen Xun and Black Bull’s eyes narrowed, their steps halting abruptly.

”Old Man Crossing the World, Exorcist Black Bull, I’ve been searching for you for a long time, today, stay!”

An incomparably cold voice echoed, from afar a woman in red with a ghostly mask, holding a sword, her eyes sharp as she looked at them, ”Mid Void Refinement, I see.”

A bloody smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, her wrist merely turned slightly, and the long sword suddenly flickered with flame light, but it wasn’t flame light, it was... blood light!

The blood-red light spread across the land, making the woman appear even more sinister and cold, her entire being exuding battle intent, having searched for them for twenty years!

”Prison Spirit Fiendess!!”

The Cloud Clan sinner cried out in a trembling voice from behind, the feeling of surviving a disaster instantly vanished, a chill of death seeped into his entire being even from such a distance.

He slowly retreated step by step, cold sweat dripping down, this Old Man Crossing the World had only risen in the past few decades, but the Prison Spirit Fiendess was a complete killing maniac.

She had been in this Immortal Prison for hundreds of years, with no intention of leaving, seemingly here just for slaughter, that blood light sword was formed from the bones of countless sinners.

”Damn it...” The Cloud Clan sinner gritted his teeth, his strength in this Immortal Prison reduced to a tenth.

He began to experience one of the three great illusions of another Immortal Prison, mere physical strength, would you dare to fight me upon release?!!

Chen Xun and Black Bull’s eyes remained calm, recalling the words once spoken by the Ghost Face Clan, some sinners entering the Immortal Prison were not just like them, seeking to erase their crimes.

There were also those who entered for the sake of slaughter, the grand world was filled with strong individuals, rules abounded, leaving no room for their survival.

”What now?”

Chen Xun said coldly, his gaze fixed on the woman amidst the overwhelming murderous aura, ”Do you intend to exchange vital essence with me?”
