Eternal Tale

”There’s no denying that this step is crucial, and the subsequent plans have already been laid out. Crossing the World, I wonder whose handiwork this is?”

”My third sister.”

”I see, but this is limited to the Mengmu Sea Region. As we expand towards the Southern Yu Continent, the cultivation waste on Trash Island is only for secondary processing by Misty.”

Ji Yan’s gaze grew deep. ”The sects across various regions are the real priority, and we can’t fully trust those people from the Online Store on Trash Island. Some issues, I wonder if I could handle them.”

Chen Xun nodded. ”I naturally trust you, but we must still act according to the rules. We don’t have the strength to confront them yet.”

”Heh, Crossing the World, rest assured. I’ll integrate the five Trash Islands; they won’t be able to stir up any trouble. I won’t change the rules you’ve set, but for those cultivators with ill intentions, I have my ways to make them disappear.”

Ji Yan spoke softly, his voice unwavering. ”But I might spend a large amount of the spirit stones we earn. I’ve heard the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins in this sea region is quite useful.”

”How much do you plan to spend?” Chen Xun looked at Ji Yan, his breathing a bit heavier. ”I need those spirit stones to purchase mineral veins and real estate, which are properties that produce spirit stones.”

”Oh?” Ji Yan showed some interest, rarely seeing this expression on Crossing the World’s face. ”Could I leave you with ten percent each year? Ninety percent needs to be spent elsewhere.”

”Ji Yan, I think at least fifty percent...””Crossing the World, the profits from garbage recycling are not small. Currently, only you have mastered the quick decomposition technique. If we don’t invest heavily in resources now, the road ahead won’t be easy.”

”Forty percent then... Ji Yan, earning spirit stones isn’t easy for me either.”

”Crossing the World, I’ll leave you twenty percent, more than enough to buy real estate. I’ve already reviewed the garbage recycling plant’s accounts over the past three days.”

”Alright!” Chen Xun gritted his teeth secretly. ”Ji Yan, it’s settled then.”

Ji Yan was momentarily stunned, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Could it be that Crossing the World was somewhat greedy and stingy?

These massive amounts of spirit stones were already more than enough for them, with no real need to keep them.

”Ji Yan, tell me about your plan.” Chen Xun took a deep breath, quickly adjusting his mindset. They were just material possessions.

”Use these spirit stones to purchase a large amount of cultivation resources. I need to train a group of people, and they must be immortal slaves, using resources to push them to the Unity stage, then use spirit stones to pave the way and build good relations in all directions.”

”Expand the influence of the garbage recycling plant across the Mengmu Sea Region, directly purchasing trash from their sects, preparing the groundwork. Misty is a giant force in Xuanwei Heaven, relying on others is unreliable.”

”And the sea races here are also of great use to me, all requiring spirit stones. Once we have a large amount of spirit stones matching our strength, even the Xuanwei Celestial Palace wouldn’t dare to act against us directly, and no one would dare to covet us, only to build good relations.”

”By then, our influence will be established. The immortal slave aspect is actually the most crucial part of my plan.”

Ji Yan revealed a sinister smile. ”Only they would dare to stand with us; those with nothing to lose fear nothing.”

”Crossing the World, by then, the strongest of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance will be left to you, and the subordinate forces to me. I’ll ensure they crumble and are left without support.”

”Heh, of course.”

Chen Xun’s face also took on a layer of gloom, his eyes gradually turning cold and ruthless. ”I will make them understand what despair is, what it means for mountains and rivers to fall, what it means... to be destroyed.”

Ji Yan stared intently at Chen Xun, a hint of madness in his eyes.

He loved seeing Chen Xun like this; this was his true self, the side that made him submit!

In an instant, Chen Xun returned to his normal state, smiling. ”No rush, we have time. We must proceed step by step, haste makes waste, and we can’t end up in the Immortal Prison again.”

For sinners like them, breaking the rules again wasn’t just a matter of returning to the Immortal Prison.

That place wasn’t for training; it was a direct ticket to the gates of hell!

”Crossing the World, my lifespan is less than two thousand years, but I’ll break through as soon as possible to accompany you to that day.”

Ji Yan’s expression darkened. Although Crossing the World wasn’t in a hurry, he was somewhat anxious. Lifespan is a hurdle every cultivator must face. ”But I won’t act recklessly again. I know there’s no next chance, only waiting for that day.”

”Don’t worry too much; I have some methods for extending lifespan.”

Chen Xun didn’t speak, but transmitted his voice directly. Ji Yan’s eyes gradually filled with shock. What could extend lifespan by ten thousand years?!!

This was equivalent to living another lifetime. In his current view, he had never heard of such a miraculous medicine, it was too outrageous, almost violating the rules of heaven and earth.

However, his expression gradually calmed, not doubting Crossing the World’s words.

But his aura became much smoother, his eyes exceptionally clear.

Since that was the case, more plans could be made, even saying... the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance wasn’t the end.

Ji Yan’s face curved into a smile, like a refined gentleman.

Although he felt he was born at the wrong time, he didn’t expect to meet Crossing the World in the Immortal Prison, making the future path of immortality not so dull.

”Crossing the World, I understand. I’ll leave the plan for the Tower of Babel to you.”

”Alright, then we’ll temporarily remain silent in this endless grand world.”

”Heh, understood.”

Ji Yan cupped his hands, looking into the distance. ”Let’s return to Trash Island first. We have the Earth rank Void Transmission Disk and the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal. If there’s anything urgent, we can contact each other anytime.”

”Mm.” Chen Xun nodded calmly, trusting Ji Yan deeply, and the latter felt the same.

...

On the road.

Ji Yan walked alongside Qian Shan, with Yao Yue following behind, observing the various creatures around them, a lazy expression on her face, feeling that following Lord Crossing the World was more interesting.

However, all the sinners who came out of the Immortal Prison were cultivating on Trash Island, enhancing their physical strength, very busy.

Lord Crossing the World was indeed right; their physical strength was still far too lacking, in front of him... they were simply no match!

Especially now, with the Chaoyuan Red Treasure Fruit and the sublimated Earth Spirit Essence, they could only continue to improve.

Their potential was still vast, far from reaching the limit, and any mischievous thoughts were extinguished in front of that man.

Qian Shan paused slightly, his face solemn, never smiling, and he spoke. ”Ji Yan, that demeanor earlier, I’ve never seen it on you before.”

Ji Yan naturally knew what he was referring to, and he smiled. ”It’s not the right time yet. When the time comes, you’ll naturally know, but it’s definitely not a bad thing.”

”Mm...”

”The Mingxiao Holy Palace has the Tribulation Crossing Venerable. Are you mentally prepared? By now, you should know that recklessness won’t change anything in this grand world.”

”Of course.”

”Heh, then when the time comes, you can act freely, and we’ll handle the aftermath.”

”Alright.”

Qian Shan didn’t speak much, but his eyes carried an indomitable determination, only the weathered face seemed to tell his past stories.
