Eternal Tale

In the chaotic darkness, Chen Xun and Black Bull walked along the dark river, surrounded by countless lights, devoid of hostility and killing intent.

The mountain-axing axe and the large black coffin they tightly held gradually loosened, and the excitement in their eyes slowly faded.

Chen Xun held Black Bull with one arm, slightly raised his head, and softly said, ”Bull, look.”

Before he finished speaking, specks of light scattered on his shoulders and slowly exploded, like a spring breeze brushing his face. In the dark chaos, the Heavenly Origin was incredibly brilliant.

Under this dazzling curtain of light, the man and the bull quietly sat down. In the boundless dark chaos, they smiled, looking around without any rush to retrieve anything.

”Bull.”

Chen Xun’s gaze gradually became distant and profound, ”Do you think our small boundary can be rebuilt, just like this celestial realm, with destruction followed by rebirth?”

”Moo~” Black Bull took out a bucket of health tea, still with a straw, and handed it to Chen Xun, firmly saying, ”Moo moo!”

”Hehe, it will. Third Sister still has the small boundary’s essence.”

Chen Xun’s expression was incredibly serene as he gazed at the brilliant world in the darkness, ”I don’t want to overturn this grand world, but at least they should give me an explanation, right, everyone...”Black Bull let out a soft moo, eyes filled with melancholy, only urging Chen Xun to drink the health tea, as it couldn’t comfort him.

Chen Xun took a gentle sip, resting a hand on Black Bull, smiling, ”It’s indeed Teacher Ning’s formula. Even after all these years, the taste of this tea hasn’t changed.”

Hearing this, Black Bull’s face showed some joy, snorting twice, rubbing against Chen Xun until he almost pushed him away.

”Enough!”

”Moo moo~~”

Chen Xun suddenly got angry, his body tilted by the push, while Black Bull wore a silly grin. The two started playfully fighting on the 3,100th floor of the Sky Tower, but Black Bull’s thick skin and iron-like body made it impossible for Chen Xun to land a hit.

Black Bull, on the other hand, mooed with a silly laugh, seemingly mocking, while tightly holding the health tea bucket with its hooves.

The pressure of the Heavenly Origin Qi was now completely ineffective against them. Even though the starlight was as heavy as a mountain, it felt as light as a feather on them, as if they had truly integrated into this celestial realm.

Even if Taixiao came to this level, Chen Xun and Black Bull could stand undefeated.

It could be said that Taixiao’s choice to cultivate on the 3,000th floor of the Sky Tower had its own considerations, not a random decision.

At this moment, Chen Xun sighed, unwilling to bicker with Black Bull, who remained as stubborn as ever despite all these years, eventually losing the argument due to Black Bull’s lack of eloquence.

”Haha...” Chen Xun laughed heartily, while Black Bull looked down at the health tea bucket with a face full of grievance, turning around and snorting several times.

Then Chen Xun spread his arms, and a round, jade-like Heavenly Origin fell into his hand. Black Bull quietly turned around, staring intently at the object.

It thought to itself: If planted in spiritual soil, could it take root and sprout...

Although surrounded by Heavenly Origin Qi, the object itself was like a small world, filled with the breath of all things reviving.

Chen Xun’s brow shone with a peculiar pattern; this object hadn’t come to him by chance but was quietly captured.

However, the object was extremely unstable, as if it could disperse into light at any moment.

”This Heavenly Origin requires the power of at least three thousand great paths to suppress it,” Chen Xun said with some astonishment, ”It’s truly a treasure of the celestial realm. Taking even one out would mark someone as a strong and talented cultivator.”

”Moo~” Black Bull’s eyes widened in surprise.

This world seemed to have Heavenly Origin in abundance, but even they could only take out two at most; any more would dissipate into the world on their own.

”Bull, let’s use our World Soul. This object is filled with intense wood attribute energy inside, but also surrounded by intense Heavenly Origin Qi. Truly a wondrous creation of the world, beyond common logic.”

Chen Xun smiled slightly. The Heavenly Origin seemed lively, as if it wanted to escape, ”Let’s test its effect.”

”Moo!” Black Bull spread its hoof, which glowed with a strong green light. A drop of emerald World Soul condensed on its hoof, and as it lifted its hoof, the drop merged directly into the Heavenly Origin.

Squeak!

Suddenly, at the moment of contact, the Heavenly Origin inexplicably emitted a strange sound.

This sight made Chen Xun’s brow twitch. How did that sound come about? But it seemed more like the resonance of two forces meeting, not something alive inside.

At this moment, the Heavenly Origin began to stabilize slowly, with Heavenly Origin Qi erupting from within, and its outline noticeably expanded. Though the change was subtle, it didn’t escape the eyes of the cultivators.

”Oh, not bad.” Chen Xun furrowed his brows, murmuring softly, ”Bull, the key to this Heavenly Origin is that it’s not the chaotic, disorderly Heavenly Origin Qi of now.”

”But rather the Heavenly Origin Qi here condensed, refined by this object, and then released as pure Heavenly Origin Qi, allowing cultivators to cultivate the power of the great path. It’s a treasure that can sever the chains of the great path even after entering the Unity stage.”

”Moo~~”

Black Bull’s eyes shone with wisdom. It understood, but the Heavenly Origin Qi within the Heavenly Origin was limited; once exhausted, it was gone.

However, their World Soul could not only stabilize this object but even expand its capacity, effectively creating an endless celestial realm usable at any cultivation level!

Chen Xun furrowed his brows slightly, eyes thoughtful, ”But in this situation, it’s barely enough to support one cultivator’s cultivation. This object can only be considered an embellishment, not a decisive factor.”

”Moo!”

”We can only cultivate it slowly. By the way, Bull, do you remember the spiritual qi erupting from that star hanging in the distant sky?”

Chen Xun’s eyes brightened, his voice rising in excitement, ”Let’s make this thing as big as that, spewing Heavenly Origin Qi every day, haha!”

Black Bull was shocked, snorting in disbelief. Chen Xun dared to dream big; they didn’t know how many years it would take to cultivate something comparable to such a massive star.

But if, in the future, they truly cultivated such a colossal entity, spewing Heavenly Origin Qi into the grand world, it could elevate the celestial path’s limit for all cultivators!

”Moo moo moo!” Black Bull’s expression became excited, gesturing wildly, ”Moo moo~~”

”Haha, Bull, isn’t this what our predecessors were doing, raising the celestial path’s limit? We’re merely beneficiaries.”

Chen Xun smiled calmly, grasping the object and storing it in his primordial spirit, continuing, ”When we stand at the pinnacle of the celestial path as true sages, giving back to the world and future cultivators will be natural.”

Black Bull nodded heavily, indifferent, and finally grinned widely, taking another sip of health tea.
