Eternal Tale

The distant sky above the coast.

Little Crane and Little Chi transformed into streaks of light as they arrived, but Yin Tianshou on the treasure shuttle wore a feigned angry expression. How dare those little ones slander him like this!

He even vaguely heard them say, ”What?! Venerable Tianshou has turned against us!”

”Chen Xun, I’ll be right back.”

Yin Tianshou snorted coldly, waved his robe, and his vast voice spread across the four skies, ”It’s been years since I last came to the Dao Academy, and this is how you welcome me?”

”Hahaha...”

”Greetings, Venerable!”

”Senior Tianshou, our academy has invited you several times, but I didn’t expect to meet you like this today.”

...

Suddenly, the tense atmosphere eased, and the elders of the Dao Academy smiled and cupped their hands, finally welcoming this venerable.Yin Tianshou stepped into the air, cupped his hands towards the academy’s immortal statue, and then vanished into the crowd, his eyes filled with reminiscence, ”Yes, I remember the last time I came to Dongxuan Dao Academy was three thousand years ago.”

”Venerable, please come in.”

The elders of the academy were also filled with emotion. Venerable Tianshou was considered one of the elder powerhouses in the Mengmu Sea Region, guarding the sea region for the Immortal Palace.

Yin Tianshou looked at those old fellows and laughed, ”Today, I must have a discussion with you all.”

All the elders could sense Venerable Tianshou’s good mood and followed him into the academy. As for those Void Refinement phase juniors from outside, they didn’t mention a word; it wasn’t a big deal.

In their eyes, it was always about Yin Tianshou, and the rest would be handled by Venerable Yuxuan.

The Unity True Lords of the academy had seen all kinds of grand scenes and wouldn’t be intimidated by tens of thousands of Void Refinement phase juniors.

Around the academy, many disciples frowned slightly. Although the elders didn’t care, they felt a bit pressured. Those cultivators were so strong!

However, the academy was too far from the coast, and they couldn’t investigate the specifics, so they focused on their cultivation.

The name of the academy commanded respect even from Heavenly Immortal powerhouses, so it wasn’t a big deal. Their attention gradually shifted to Venerable Tianshou, their eyes filled with excitement.

In the distant sky above the coast, on the treasure shuttle.

”Eldest Brother, Second Brother!”

”Brother Xun, Brother Bull!”

Little Crane and Little Chi stood in front of Chen Xun and Black Bull, their voices trembling. They had so much to say but didn’t know where to start.

Little Crane had tear stains on her face, but she maintained her purest smile, not daring to get too close, just standing opposite them from afar.

The tens of thousands of guilty spirits on the treasure shuttle coughed lightly, averting their gaze to enjoy the scenery of the Mengmu Sea Region. It was their first time here.

Only Immortal Absolute sat cross-legged at the back, like a mountain, staring at them intently. Senior Crossing the World had mentioned he had a younger sister and brother outside.

He didn’t expect them to look like this, and he began to ponder, his gaze fixed on them.

In the crowd, Qian Shan’s eyes showed a hint of sadness. He also had a brother, but his talent was too extraordinary and was forcibly taken away without his consent!

Moreover, the Mingxiao Holy Palace was not as good as the outside world claimed. He was determined to bring his brother out of there.

”Moo moo!!”

Black Bull suddenly charged forward, rubbing against Little Crane and Little Chi, sniffing them vigorously, ”Moo moo!”

Little Crane hugged Black Bull with both hands, and Little Chi bumped heads with Black Bull. The three figures laughed, the atmosphere relaxing, enjoying the purest joy.

Chen Xun wore a smile on his face, but his eyes held a trace of calm. Seeing them well was enough for the first thing after his release from prison.

At this moment, a rainbow light shot up from the coast.

A figure immediately appeared on the treasure shuttle—Mo Ye Han!

As soon as he appeared, the eyes of the tens of thousands of beings that had been looking around focused on this imposing man. The latter was not to be outdone, slightly raising his head.

Mo Ye Han coldly smiled, facing tens of thousands of Immortal Prison powerhouses alone, ”I am Mo Ye Han from Dongxuan Dao Academy. If you wish to duel or discuss the Dao, I’m always ready.”

”Interesting.”

”It seems he’s a prodigy of this sea region. I’ll remember this name.”

”Hah, quite a character.”

...

Several indifferent voices came, acknowledging his formidable aura that did not fear thousands of peers, treating them as equals.

However, they couldn’t act as recklessly as they did in the Immortal Prison, killing at the slightest disagreement!

They followed Lord Crossing the World to this region not to compete with these prodigies but because their madness and ambition had long surpassed individual pursuits in the immortal path.

They had long passed that stage; entering the Immortal Prison had already stripped them of that identity.

But, there was one exception—Immortal Absolute!

His eyes surged with battle intent, his blood slightly boiling, confronting Mo Ye Han without yielding.

Mo Ye Han’s face was solemn, his heart also surging with battle intent, Nine Heavens... Absolute Shadow Clan!

But he soon relaxed his aura, slowly looking at the man with a gentle smile, and laughed heartily, ”Brother Chen!”

”Brother Ye Han!”

Chen Xun solemnly cupped his hands, his smile deepening, ”These years, thank you for your care. Chen Xun will remember it in his heart, never daring to forget.”

”Brother Chen, these small matters are not worth mentioning.”

Mo Ye Han spoke boldly, waving his hand, ”I helped you not for any reward, but because you deserve it.”

Chen Xun stepped back and bowed deeply to Mo Ye Han without saying a word. A thousand years of care, no matter how much he said, would seem insincere.

Mo Ye Han frowned, quickly stepping forward to help Chen Xun up, ”Brother Chen, there’s no need for this between us. If you act like this, I won’t like it. We cultivators shouldn’t be so particular like ordinary people.”

Chen Xun felt a deep sense of gratitude, thinking about how in the thousand-year Immortal Prison, which cultivator in the world of immortals could do this? This kind of friendship, he hadn’t felt in a long, long time.

He spoke softly, ”Brother Ye Han, my old friends, I wonder where they are now?”

Mo Ye Han smiled slightly, ”Brother Chen, no need to worry. They have safely entered the Wild Heaven Region, personally escorted by my Mo family. The Immortal Palace’s pursuit of them has completely ended.”

”However, that place is not stable. When I asked them, they said they had no regrets and were willing to enter this region.”

”Haha, that’s good, that’s good. The path of immortality is different for everyone.”

Chen Xun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, ”As long as they’re no longer hunted, the rest depends on their fate. Brother Ye Han has already helped them too much.”

Mo Ye Han gave Chen Xun a deep look. Over the past thousand years, it seemed he hadn’t changed at all, but his demeanor had become more restrained, with a natural integration into the grand world.

He remembered the first time he met him at the Heavenly Immortal Tower. His demeanor was extraordinary, but far from what it was now, even if it could be faked.

For someone like him, he naturally gave him a good scolding.

But now, if they met again at the Heavenly Immortal Tower, he would never be as arrogant as before. Chen Xun had become completely inscrutable.
