Eternal Tale

It turns out that the Tower of Babel, as a celestial realm, is akin to the world at its inception, where the great path is chaotic, and everywhere is filled with the purest, ownerless power of the great path.

This is also the biggest reason why the prodigies of the grand world must limit their lifespan, as the existence of this celestial realm plays a part.

The stronger you are, the further you can travel within the celestial realm, and the more gifts from heaven and earth you receive.

Take the Tower of Babel, for example. The higher you climb, the stronger the gifts you receive.

This is also why the gap between prodigies in the Unity realm and ordinary Unity cultivators is so vast; they have received too much pure, chaotic power of the great path from the celestial realm.

This power can help them comprehend their own great path in the late Void Refinement stage, experiencing the scene of the world’s chaotic inception, which is one reason why those in the Unity stage and above cannot enter this celestial realm.

At the Unity stage, one’s own great path is already formed, and the chaotic great path will strongly repel the orderly great path, possibly even causing you to collapse.

Only by strengthening your foundation during the Qi cultivation phase and limiting your lifespan step by step can you ultimately unleash your strongest combat power in the late Void Refinement stage and receive more gifts from heaven and earth.

Therefore, the celestial realm is also called the true battlefield for prodigies, where ordinary cultivators cannot go far.

Moreover, the flow of time in the celestial realm is completely different from the outside world. There, chaos reigns at the beginning, with a hundred years in the celestial realm equating to ten years outside, a ten-to-one ratio, but lifespan consumption remains unchanged.However, during the Era of Great Slaughter among the Myriad Clans, it was a twenty-to-one ratio, and the flow of time in the celestial realm has gradually aligned with the grand world over the years.

”Then, senior, wouldn’t it be great to just cultivate inside there forever? I’ll just stay on the first level and not leave!”

Chen Xun interrupted Yin Tianshou upon hearing this, realizing that this was an incredible place for cultivation.

”Haha, the great path inside is chaotic, with constant natural disasters, making it impossible to cultivate in peace. Do you want to die in there?”

Yin Tianshou laughed heartily, as many people had this thought. ”Besides, it’s not like your lifespan decreases more slowly, so why are you excited? There are lists recording the aura outside the celestial realm, and once you’ve passed through, you can’t enter again.”

”For example, the Babel List records the fastest tower-climbing times of the strongest individuals from each level. If you can make it into the top ten on each level, there are some extra fortuitous encounters.”

”But if you’ve already passed the first level, even if you come out, because of the aura recorded by the Babel List, you’ll only enter the second level if you go back.”

”The longer you stay on each level, the more the chaotic great path will suppress you, and the natural disasters inside are extremely terrifying.”

Yin Tianshou paused here, a hint of fear in his eyes. ”So move as fast as you can; don’t think about holding back. If you die in there, you’re dead.”

”Senior, recording aura, isn’t that similar to the Chaos Immortal Spirit List?”

”Indeed, this list is said to be based on the celestial realm... Hmm? Chen Xun, my point isn’t about recording aura.”

”Thank you, senior!”

Chen Xun exchanged a silent glance with Black Bull under the big tree, with only one thought in their eyes: if their aura couldn’t be recorded, then they wouldn’t hesitate to exploit the first level to the fullest...

”Do you understand my meaning?” Yin Tianshou tugged at his beard, wondering what Chen Xun was thinking.

”Senior, Chen Xun understands!”

”When you leave, you’ll have to go to the capital to understand the specifics. I don’t know what it’s like there anymore.”

”We’ll bring back some Image Stones for you.”

Chen Xun solemnly bowed to Yin Tianshou with great respect. ”We’ll depart from the giant space passage on Li Chen Island in two years. I’ve heard that just the journey itself will take three years.”

”Good, go ahead. Xuanwei Heaven is a truly awe-inspiring domain, completely different from the Mengmu Sea Region.”

Yin Tianshou smiled slightly. ”It’s always good to see more of the world. Just remember to bring back some Image Stones for me; I’d like to see how it’s changed.”

”Then, senior, we’ll take our leave.”

”Alright.”

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the towering tree, and Yin Tianshou quietly closed his eyes as beams of light filtered through the branches, casting patterns on his robe.

Chen Xun and Black Bull quietly departed, feeling a bit anxious. This journey was set by Ji Yan, and they still needed two years.

...

Time passed silently, and two years had gone by.

Today, the sky was a clear blue, and the vast sea shimmered with light, a perfect day for sailing as large fleets navigated the waves.

On the massive circular floating platform, countless tiny figures stood, insignificant before its grandeur.

In the distance, a terrifying space storm raged, but was fiercely suppressed by formations.

A colossal space ship docked at one side of the ring, with many passages, but only one leading to the Southern Yu Continent.

More and more cultivators stood around, preparing to board the ship.

From afar, powerful auras approached, as Chen Xun and Black Bull led thousands of people, causing the surrounding cultivators to tremble. Were they going to war?

”Eldest brother, second brother!”

”Brother Xun, Brother Bull!”

”Factory owner!”

...

Shouts echoed from the teleportation platform, as they watched from afar, unable to board without tickets.

This time, they watched with smiles and blessings for Chen Xun and his companions. Little Chi was left behind by Chen Xun, to enter later with Little Crane, who could shield its aura.

Chen Xun smiled, waving to the large group. ”Wait for us to return, there’s nothing to worry about!”

Little Crane jumped excitedly, waving. ”Eldest brother, second brother, come quickly.”

Ji Yan remained calm, looking at Chen Xun. ”We’ll go in first; say your goodbyes, we won’t disturb you.”

”Alright!”

”Moo!”

Chen Xun and Black Bull smiled at everyone, nodding as they followed Ji Yan towards the space ship, having booked the most expensive cabin.

The two gradually moved towards the other side of the platform, as Little Crane quickly took out a large bouquet of flowers, shouting, ”Eldest brother, second brother, these are for you. If you miss us, take them out and look; they’re only found in the Mengmu Sea Region!”

”Wow, Bull, it’s from third sister!”

”Moo moo~~”

Black Bull happily nuzzled Little Crane’s face, feeling none of the sorrow of parting this time.

”Brother Xun, you won’t be gone long this time, right?” Little Chi looked at them eagerly, having originally had a spot on the ship!

But Sister Crane was alone in the sea region, and it felt uneasy, so it stayed behind. They could all go together later; there was no rush.

”It won’t be long; we can come back whenever we want.”

Chen Xun laughed, patting Little Chi’s head. ”If anything happens, we’ll contact through the Star Pavilion. This isn’t like going to the Immortal Prison; we’re quite free.”

”Hehe.” Little Chi chuckled slyly. ”Then I’m relieved.”

”Take care of your third sister.”

”Brother Xun, don’t worry!”

”Farewell, everyone. Until we meet again!”

”Yes!”

Everyone shouted with excitement, watching Chen Xun and Black Bull leave, their eyes filled with envy and blessings. Xuanwei Heaven was a legendary place for them.

Yun Jin and Luoshuang stood beside Little Crane, feeling nostalgic. The small garbage recycling plant had grown to such a scale; fate truly was wondrous.

Little Crane continued to wave and shout, always the little girl in front of her big brother.

Buzz—

The door of the space ship slowly closed, as terrifying spatial energy surged, spreading in all directions. The grand ring began to crackle with lightning-like light.

The massive space ship started to pass through the ring, its silhouette shrinking as if being swallowed, leaving Little Crane feeling a sudden emptiness...

But she remained strong, knowing she could communicate daily through the array. Her big brother and second brother were just going to see the world and would return soon.

On a distant mountaintop.

Yin Tianshou stood stroking his beard, his robe billowing in the wind. He looked at the suspended space formation passage and smiled slightly. ”May this long journey lead you to the path of ascension.”
