Eternal Tale

In the two thousand and first level of the Tower of Babel.

The Boundary-breaking Ship appeared in a vast sea, where thunderclouds gathered densely, obscuring the light of the sky like a black curtain enveloping the entire sea.

Lightning and thunder tore through the dark sky, like arrows of divine wrath piercing the heavens, emitting deafening roars.

The waves rose high and violently, transforming into giant white waves that soared into the sky, like a giant axe of destruction splitting the firmament.

The thunder roared like war drums, shaking the entire sea, each clap accompanied by howling winds, raising thousand-layered waves on the sea surface.

The interplay of lightning and thunder created a terrifying yet magnificent scene, like a battlefield between heaven and earth, where the forces of disaster and destruction ravaged everything, leaving no sign of life.

Chen Xun and Black Bull took a deep breath. Over the years in the Tower of Babel, they had grown accustomed to such scenes of destruction and rebirth, their eyes filled only with awe, realizing how insignificant cultivators truly were.

From initially just wanting to exploit the world’s resources to a complete shift in mindset, the change was profound, filling their hearts with a heavy sense of responsibility.

”Bull, look at the sea,” Chen Xun said, his gaze deepening as he sat atop the crane’s head. ”Now, I’m not so eager for quick success. Perhaps the existence of this celestial realm isn’t just about the gifts it offers.”

”Moo~” Black Bull sat beside Chen Xun. Despite the surrounding towering waves and constant thunder, its heart was exceptionally calm.Chen Xun smiled, holding Black Bull with one hand as he gazed into the distance. ”There’s no need to forcibly seek the essence of heaven and earth. Whether it’s destruction or rebirth, it’s all quite good.”

Black Bull nodded gently, letting out a soft moo. This time, it understood, and the tranquility in its heart was enough.

Terrifying whirlpools like abysses slowly appeared in all directions, and the Boundary-breaking Ship seemed like a small raft before them, drifting with the wind and clouds toward the distance.

The man and the bull were filled with endless tranquility, while around them was a scene of worldly destruction. They remained unmoved, quietly sailing out of the destruction, no longer resisting or confronting it.

But what was most unsettling was... these chaotic paths could no longer affect them in the slightest. They seemed as if they didn’t exist within the Tower of Babel, carrying a serene and indifferent smile as they traversed through the disasters of heaven and earth, untouched by a single leaf.

Black Bull silently took out the Image Stone, recording everything. Even if the world were to end, it would always follow Chen Xun.

Chen Xun lowered his head, took out a drawing board, and quietly began to paint. His black robe fluttered in the fierce wind, exuding an ethereal charm like a fragrance in a storm, radiating a unique allure.

The black robe complemented his demeanor, forming a harmonious and beautiful picture. Whether it was his posture or gaze, they all exuded an aura of confidence and calmness, as if he were the center of the storm, stable and steadfast.

Sitting cross-legged in the wind, Chen Xun seemed to become a part of the world, merging with the storm and thunderclouds, harmonizing with destruction.

He focused intently on his drawing board, each stroke smooth and precise, as if the miracles of the great path were unfolding in his hands.

”Moo~~~” Black Bull let out a long breath, its gaze on Chen Xun somewhat dazed. But when it looked down, its heart skipped a beat...

What exactly was Chen Xun painting? It couldn’t understand, but each time it was deeply shocked, as none of the paintings resembled anything, too imaginative and unrestrained.

Boom!

The sound of thunder echoed between heaven and earth, the violent thunderclouds rolling as if they were about to tear the entire world apart. Suddenly, a massive star fell from the thunderclouds, carrying immense power and destructive force.

The imposing star fell, instantly enveloping everything around in a tremendous sense of oppression. The sea trembled, mountains crumbled, and everything seemed on the brink of destruction.

In the endless sea, as it was being vaporized, a small black dot quietly passed by the falling star, undisturbed, leaving silently.

After their millennium-long journey in the Tower of Babel, Chen Xun and Black Bull no longer feared gigantic objects. They admired the breathtaking scene and began to sail to the next level, no longer making a fuss.

This time, after receiving the gifts of heaven and earth, they directly stepped out of the Tower of Babel.

It felt like a lifetime ago, the sky a serene blue, like a flowing sea, the tranquility of the sky far from the hustle and bustle bringing a sense of peace and vastness.

The surrounding noise was still earth-shattering, with cultivators sitting on the ground discussing the path, and other races on distant hills roasting meat, sitting freely and laughing as they pointed at the Babel List.

In the far distance, many cultivators from major forces of the celestial capital arrived, occupying a piece of land, bringing mobile cave abodes and the like... myriad clans of beings coming and going among the cloud structures.

Chen Xun looked around, smiled faintly, and silently took out some seeds to eat with Black Bull, fully integrating into this grand world of cultivating immortality, unnoticed by anyone.

Half a day later, the man and the bull entered the Tower of Babel once again.

On the third level...

They began to exploit the resources of the first hundred levels, having already inquired outside, the Tower of Babel showed no reaction, only the Babel List seemed to have some issues, shaking a few times.

However, in the vast ages of this grand world, the celestial realm has existed for eons. The gifts of heaven and earth that Chen Xun and Black Bull exploited seemed enormous for individuals.

But for the entire Tower of Babel, facing countless generations of talented cultivators... what they exploited was merely a drop in the ocean, unable to shake the Tower of Babel in the slightest.

It also showed what a true celestial realm was, even the celestial domain had to depend on these realms for establishment, they were like the origin of the immortal path, the true source of heaven and earth.

No one could glimpse its essence, myriad clans born in the world should hold reverence, not seek to control these celestial realms, for supreme greed would ultimately lead to backlash.

The man and the bull began to sever their own path chains within the Tower of Babel, fully elevating their own paths, not severing myriad paths, not climbing higher, but honing their foundations to the extreme at the lower levels.

Every month, they entered and exited the Tower of Babel once, their brows becoming deeper each time, the gifts of the lower levels also had limits of the great path, and their climbing limit was gradually increasing.

A hundred years later, on the tenth level of the Tower of Babel, three thousand path chains, severed!

At this moment, a roar echoed through the heavens and earth, the Five Elements Immortal Eyes broke free from their shackles, fully transforming into their true form.

At this time, the disaster-stricken world trembled, lightning intertwined, the power of the Chaotic Path surged out, the earth trembled, and within the Five Elements Immortal Eyes, the five-colored light shone brilliantly, like five bright pearls radiating.

Under the illumination of this light, all that was seen in the world was the power of the Five Elements evolving, the cycle of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth continuing endlessly.

Chen Xun’s face was solemn, taking a deep breath, he formed a seal with his hand, and the five-colored light within the Five Elements Immortal Eyes burst forth, enveloping the entire disaster-stricken world in its glow.

The power of the Five Elements, like five sharp blades, slashed through all the chaotic paths blocking the way, unstoppable.
