Eternal Tale

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a cloud pathway unfurled beside them, and a Domain Crossing Space Boat boldly docked right next to them!

A young girl leaned over it with a cheerful smile, watching them with great interest. This man and bull duo looked quite amusing, even having a flying sword hovering nearby.

The overseers’ eyes narrowed. The custom design of this Domain Crossing Space Boat... this route, Heaven Capital, Human Clan, Nine Dragons Mystic Gate, Immortal Family Qionghua!

”Miss Qionghua,” the lead overseer greeted with a respectful smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

”Sir... she... she...” Chen Xun’s eyes widened as he raised his finger slightly, but not fully. Why was she allowed, but they weren’t?! Did they look down on the Five Aggregates Sect’s flying sword?!!

”Don’t let us delay your work, I’m just here to watch,” the girl smiled, her expression blooming like spring flowers. ”Haha, little bull.”

”Moo?” Black Bull snorted clumsily. Was she calling it?

”Alright,” the overseer nodded, turning to Chen Xun. ”Once you pay the spirit stones, you can leave.”

”Sir... if I buy a Domain Crossing Space Boat, can I also fly in Heaven Capital?” Chen Xun had already taken out the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal from his storage ring, ready to pay the fine.”What do you want to buy?!” The overseer’s pupils widened slightly, almost doubting his hearing.

”A Domain Crossing Space Boat, you see that lady can do it.”

”......”

With just one sentence, Chen Xun rendered the seven Unity True Lords silent. They didn’t respond; who could casually afford such a thing?

Moreover, for someone like you who relies on Sword Flight, just pay the spirit stones first. Even your Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal is Yellow-tier; they didn’t want to mock this junior.

”The Qionghua family purchased a separate Heaven Capital flight route. Just think about it.”

The overseer chuckled at Chen Xun, shaking his head. ”It’s not about power or influence, don’t overthink it. If you buy a flight route, flying swords will work too.”

”Thank you, Senior, for clarifying!” Chen Xun bowed with a smile, feeling greatly relieved as long as they weren’t inexplicably arrested.

”Do you need us to give you a ride?” The overseer suddenly asked, seeing that Chen Xun was a new cultivator in Heaven Capital. ”Or you can return to Azure Dragon Platform the way you came.”

”No need, Senior, we’ll head back on our own,” Chen Xun replied cheerfully, bowing again with sincerity. ”We won’t make the same mistake again.”

”Good.”

The overseer nodded calmly, leading the group onto an immortal-grade magical artifact and disappearing instantly.

The girl blinked from afar, smiling, ”Fellow Daoist, I’m Qionghua Shuiyu. What are your names?”

”Chen Xun, Ximen Black Bull!”

”Moo moo~”

Chen Xun and Black Bull responded with a bow. Although they were stopped, they still felt incredibly cheerful, as the overseer seniors hadn’t oppressed them at all.

”Are those magical artifacts on your eyes?”

”Haha, goggles, just a little gadget, not a magical artifact, something learned in the mortal world.”

”Quite interesting.”

A light, melodious laugh echoed from afar, waving at them, ”Well then, fellow Daoists, until we meet again.”

”Alright, safe travels, fellow Daoist!”

”Moo~~”

They waved back with smiles, eyes showing a hint of envy. This was clearly a super clan from Xuanwei Heaven, a super wealthy family, yet they were quite approachable.

Chen Xun patted Black Bull, ”Bull, let’s go. No worries, we’ll get one ourselves someday.”

”Moo moo!” Black Bull nudged Chen Xun. It didn’t really mind; it was just a pity about those ten mid-grade spirit stones.

They resumed their Sword Flight towards Azure Dragon Platform, hoping no one would trouble them this time.

Black Bull was in an incredibly good mood, mooing loudly, but Chen Xun’s expression showed a hint of depth, recalling Senior Yin’s words before entering the Immortal Prison.

”Senior, this grand world of cultivating immortality is indeed beautiful, but some grudges, Chen Xun will never forget, nor be blinded by illusions.”

He silently recited in his heart, looking up at the clouds, and suddenly burst into laughter, ”Damn it, Bull, let’s head to Azure Dragon Platform and find out more about that thing!”

”Moo~~” Black Bull chuckled clumsily, eyes wandering everywhere. It was happy to go anywhere with Chen Xun.

For several days, they traveled on the public shuttle magical artifact, never getting off, gazing through the protective barrier at the distant views of Heaven Capital. They had only one impression: vast lands and abundant resources, myriad clans coexisting.

The ground of Xuanwei Heaven wasn’t as planned as an immortal city. Although they only saw a small part, there were plenty of vendors in Heaven Capital, selling all sorts of things.

Compared to the immortal city on Li Chen Island, Xuanwei Heaven was quite lively, even having gambling houses, though not gambling spirit stones, but rather those giant stones brought from Wild Heaven.

The auctions were even more grand, drawing thousands, with open-air auctions bustling with excitement, dazzling everyone.

And this was just the tip of the iceberg that Chen Xun and Black Bull saw from the shuttle magical artifact, almost forgetting why they came...

Today.

Chen Xun and Black Bull arrived at a small cloud teahouse, opened by a pair of human cultivator companions, said to be two seniors who opened a small teahouse here for retirement.

This place was somewhat famous, offering a distant view of the stars and a close view of the colorful clouds, a serene and healthful spot.

The seating here was completely different from ordinary teahouses, with various small scenes, each only serving one table of guests, quite extravagant, but no one dared to cause trouble here.

Chen Xun and Black Bull sipped fragrant tea, reclining in their chairs, overlooking the clouds, living a slow-paced life of cultivating immortality, truly comfortable.

”Bull~”

”Moo~~”

”Only cultivators know how to enjoy life. These places are so high-end, I feel like I’m elevating myself.”

”Moo?”

”Just saying, don’t take it so seriously.”

Chen Xun slightly turned his head, looking at the faint cloud buildings, with occasional drifting clouds beneath his feet. ”Ji Yan and the others have sent messages from the Prison Pavilion, understanding many of the rules of the Tower of Heaven.”

”This celestial realm has no restrictions on entry time; you can enter anytime. However, the first hundred floors must be climbed alone before you can regroup.”

”Moo?”

”But we’re blood-linked, so we can enter together, though from the spirit beast bag... and for the first hundred floors, having an extra creature increases the pressure exponentially.”

”Bull, what do you think? Should we go separately or together? I can enter as your spirit beast, no problem, there’s even that thing, haha.”

”Moo! Moo moo moo!~”

Black Bull shook its head, gesturing to Chen Xun. It definitely didn’t want to leave him. ”Moo moo~”

The man and bull communicated seamlessly, Chen Xun nodding thoughtfully, ”Alright, we’ll go in together. With us together, that celestial realm poses no challenge.”

Black Bull grinned widely, nodding firmly.

”Then we’ll rest here for today, and head to the Tower of Heaven tomorrow. Ji Yan and the others are already there, saying our speed is definitely faster than theirs.”

Chen Xun chuckled at this point, continuing, ”Moreover, the celestial realm records the connected aura. Once you’ve been to one, you can’t go to another, as the great Dao repels. Let’s not let them suffer losses here.”

”Moo~~”

”Haha, Bull, keep watching the sea of clouds.”

Chen Xun’s eyes showed contentment as he gazed into the distance. From this position, the giant stars were out of sight, perfect.
