Eternal Tale

The people around were all surprised, including Nangong Heling. Mo Ye Han had never mentioned having a Dao companion.

The man’s features were sharp and refined, with perfectly balanced proportions that neither appeared too feminine nor lacked any ruggedness.

At this moment, his lips curled slightly, as if always maintaining a smile, giving off a warm and friendly vibe. He cupped his hands and said, ”I am Ling Yunshen, greetings to everyone.”

”Fellow Daoist Ling.” The three responded with smiles and cupped hands, as he had just spoken.

”This is the younger brother of my fiancée, from the northern ’Cloud Immortal Splendor’ of Xuanwei Heaven.”

Mo Ye Han descended from the air, introducing him with a smile on his face, ”He doesn’t like conflicts, so he rarely appears in the Dao Academy. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of him.”

Feng Jinyu felt a shock in his heart. For some reason, the name Ling Yunshen seemed familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had heard it. His brows gradually furrowed.

Mu Qingyao, dressed in a blue gown, smiled even more deeply. Cloud Immortal Splendor... the most expansive place in Xuanwei Heaven, so vast that its size is immeasurable.

Within it lie hidden talents and even the ancient immortal kingdom, along with the legendary... Land of Immortal Fall.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit astonished, not expecting this person to have such a grand background, coming to a Dao Academy in the sea region, perhaps just to see his brother-in-law.”How have you been in the Dao Academy these years? If not for today’s event, you probably wouldn’t have come to find me.”

Mo Ye Han’s words carried an inexplicable meaning, ”Your sister never mentioned you would cross such a distance to enter the Dao Academy.”

Ling Yunshen shook his head with a smile, ”Elder sister once said that brother-in-law met an unbeatable person a thousand years ago. Yunshen wanted to witness it, but this Dongxuan Dao Academy makes me reluctant to leave.”

”I see.” Mo Ye Han’s eyes cleared as he slowly looked at Nangong Heling, ”This is his third sister.”

”Greetings, Fellow Daoist Nangong.”

”Fellow Daoist Ling.” Nangong Heling nodded with a smile.

”However, Brother Chen has been away for years and strictly speaking, he’s no longer of our generation.”

Mo Ye Han suddenly added, with a soft sigh, ”In his eyes, the Dao Academy is just a place for young cultivators to compete.”

”Haha, such ambition is rare.”

Ling Yunshen’s eyes brightened, growing more interested in Chen Xun, ”If there’s a chance, I hope brother-in-law can introduce us. After meeting him, I should prepare to leave the Dao Academy.”

His tone was incredibly calm, as if the Dao Academy, which others struggled to enter, was insignificant to him. Yet, there was no disdain in his eyes or tone, merely stating a fact.

”Alright, he just returned from the thousand-year Immortal Prison. If there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you.”

”Good, then brother-in-law, I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Ling Yunshen smiled warmly, cupped his hands to everyone, but couldn’t help glancing at Nangong Heling again, ”We’ll be on our way.”

”Go ahead, if you need anything, just come find me.”

”Certainly.”

Ling Yunshen nodded with a smile, and Jiang Liu beside him also cupped his hands to everyone before leaving gracefully.

Feng Jinyu watched their backs, feeling a sense of envy.

That demeanor was far beyond his own, just standing there made him feel like a firefly competing with the bright moon.

His eyes dimmed a bit, and he remained silent. His ambition, apart from being somewhat similar to Mu Qingyao’s, made him feel like a junior in their presence, not daring to utter a word.

”Dao Child, who is that?” Mu Qingyao’s eyes sparkled with interest as she watched them from afar.

”Have you ever heard of what an immortal Dao prodigy is?”

”At the birth of a grand world, purple qi stretches for thousands of miles, and heaven and earth celebrate... continuous phenomena, known as an immortal Dao prodigy.”

Mu Qingyao’s voice trembled. These legends always existed, but the Mengmu Sea Region had never seen one, ”Dao Child, could it be him...?”

”Dao Child, shouldn’t such a person be cultivating under the Heavenly Sovereign? How could he end up in a Dao Academy?”

Mu Qingyao’s heart was instantly overwhelmed. She hadn’t seen any signs of an immortal Dao prodigy in him, just a unique aura.

”Haha, indeed.” Mo Ye Han’s eyes also showed a hint of admiration, ”But such people act as they please, unbound by constraints, and no one dares to take them as disciples.”

”The immortal Dao they seek is different from ours. The tales of Heavenly Sovereigns accepting disciples should only be taken with a grain of salt.”

Mo Ye Han looked at Mu Qingyao’s astonished expression, his gaze deepening, and he smiled slightly, ”Just like Brother Chen, not even the grand world Immortal Prison can bind him.”

In his heart, he had long regarded Chen Xun as an immortal Dao prodigy, even setting him as a target to chase. Encountering such friends on the path of immortal Dao truly made life worthwhile.

Mo Ye Han gazed into the distance, his smile growing wider. His future world was vast, and he wouldn’t be confined to the Dao Academy.

He could be defeated, but his ambition would never wane, even if a towering mountain lay ahead.

”Train well.” Mo Ye Han looked at the three, rising into the air, his eyes suddenly filled with fighting spirit, ”In a thousand years, the immortal Dao competition among the Dao Academies, I must prepare early!”

”Yes.” The three cupped their hands. In the Dao Academy, Mo Ye Han was the Dao Child, also their Dao brother, deserving respect regardless of their relationship.

A sudden breeze arose, and Mo Ye Han and the three disappeared into the horizon.

”Qingyao, Heling, thank you for your help today. Jinyu won’t forget.”

Feng Jinyu suddenly stepped back and cupped his hands, instantly seeming more mature, and said solemnly, ”I must return to my cave abode to cultivate, so I won’t disturb you.”

With that, he turned and left, the yellow sand lightly covering his path, his figure gradually disappearing into the sand, but becoming more resolute.

”Fool...!”

”Qingyao, let him be.”

Nangong Heling smiled, stopping her with understanding, ”Men need their pride. My elder brother is quite prideful... you can’t even argue with him.”

”Ha, really?” Mu Qingyao suddenly laughed, unable to imagine that man being prideful. She whispered, ”Heling, tell me about your elder brother... your big brother?”

”Um... I need to find Baiyu True Lord now.”

Nangong Heling looked towards Tianzhu Mountain, her delicate nose wrinkling slightly, ”Qingyao, next time. My elder brother is quite an interesting person, not scary at all.”

Mu Qingyao suddenly took Nangong Heling’s arm, loving her pure and adorable demeanor. Since her elder brother returned, the change was truly dramatic.

”Shall we visit the outskirts of the Immortal Island this year? I heard there are many wonders.”

”No, my elder brother and the others will come to pick me up.”

”What?!”

”Then next year?”

”They’ll come too.”

”What?!”

Mu Qingyao looked incredulous, quite exaggerated. Her family wasn’t like this, ”Aren’t they always watching over you... we’re cultivators.”

”Hehe, I just like being watched over by my elder brother.”

Nangong Heling suddenly broke free from Mu Qingyao’s arm, a mischievous smile in her eyes, and ran off, turning back to call out, ”Qingyao, hurry back to cultivate~”

Mu Qingyao blinked twice, her lips pouting slightly, looking stunningly beautiful, though no one saw this moment.

She then soared into the air, vowing never to listen to Baiyu True Lord’s teachings again, as they always made her sleepy. As expected of a Unity elder, the power of the Dao was too terrifying.
