Eternal Tale

Beside the giant stone.

Ji Yan and Tian Li, wearing a beast bone mask, approached with smiles on their faces. They respectfully helped Chen Xun up.

Qi Ming also landed with a thud, helping Black Bull up, his eyes showing no ferocity, only respect.

”Crossing the World, how did it go?”

Ji Yan’s eyes were filled with excitement. He even took out a set of black robes from his storage ring and draped them over Chen Xun, asking with concern, ”Did it harm your foundation?”

Chen Xun smiled, forcibly circulating the mana within him. His face gradually became more refined as he said in a deep voice, ”Success. This injury will heal with some time. We’ve only paused for a day.”

His figure swayed slightly, but with so many brothers watching, he had to maintain his dignity. He even forced down a burp of black smoke.

Before he finished speaking, Yao Yue, unusually obedient, ran up from behind and began tidying Chen Xun’s clothes and hair.

However, her gaze was fixed on Chen Xun’s fingers, a sly look in her eyes. This time, Crossing the World didn’t expel him, but it was her first time helping a male cultivator with his hair.

Ji Yan and Tian Li exchanged glances, seeing Crossing the World in such a disheveled state for the first time. But upon hearing of his success, their eyes grew even more resolute.Everyone had arrived by now, and they looked at the bedraggled Chen Xun, their gazes devoid of mockery or ridicule. Instead, they bowed their heads in unison!

Boom!

A silent aura erupted in all directions with this action, raising small clouds of dust and sending fierce winds howling everywhere. Though silent, it was unstoppable!

The grand aura spread far and wide, rolling towards everyone at the Nine Dragons Mystic Gate. Those cultivators who had previously shown hostility towards Chen Xun now had their pupils contract, fearing there had been some misunderstanding.

In the distance.

Chen Xun’s aura transformed completely, his posture becoming tall and majestic, no longer stumbling.

His gaze turned deep and solemn, exuding a transcendent aura as if he stood outside the mortal realm, observing all the ups and downs.

He stepped forward, Black Bull following by his side, with Ji Yan, Tian Li, and Yao Yue a step behind. Tens of thousands of Immortal Prison prodigies followed steadily, their auras restrained yet terrifying.

With each step Chen Xun took, his aura continued to rise, exuding a powerful and profound strength, like a hidden dragon in the depths of the earth, vast and boundless.

His demeanor was filled with a spirit that transcended the mortal world, making this region seem centered around him, with everything else as mere support. In that moment, everyone’s gaze changed dramatically!

Qionghua Yanbin’s soul shuddered, standing still, his pupils trembling slightly.

Why would someone like Ji Yan bow to this person? Even he only associated with peers.

The circle surrounding the Nine Dragons Mystic Gate opened a path, lacking the courage to block the man walking at the forefront, who seemed a completely different person from before...

The most important thing was that this was the Tower of Babel, so naturally, they weren’t afraid of them causing trouble. There was no need to offend if it could be avoided.

Qionghua Shuiyu stood there in a daze, watching Chen Xun and his group walk towards her with astonishment.

She felt like an orphan of the world, about to face the onslaught of a great flood and fierce beasts!

Clearly, that man wasn’t like this... How did he change so completely in an instant, becoming so unfamiliar that even though his face hadn’t changed, she felt she had never known him.

Chen Xun stopped in front of her, and two indifferent gazes in the void suddenly looked over. He raised an eyebrow at the protectors of the great clan’s disciples, but Chen Xun didn’t care; it was no longer important.

He held a bottle of Qi-Enhancing Pills in his hand and smiled gently, ”Thank you, Miss Qionghua, for the gift. Bull and I appreciate it. We will remember this kindness.”

”Moo~~” Black Bull also softly called out to Qionghua Shuiyu, sensing that she had never harbored ill intentions towards them.

Qionghua Shuiyu’s lips trembled slightly, caught off guard by such a change, ”It’s nothing... Chen Xun, Ximen Little... Black Bull.”

Her voice was light and quite nervous, no longer daring to be as casual as before.

After all, she was just a member of the Qionghua family and couldn’t represent the entire Nine Dragons Mystic Gate. Only a few of her brothers could speak to such a person as equals.

”Miss Qionghua, no need to be nervous. Our relationship is just as it was before.”

”Really?!”

”Of course.”

”Great!”

Qionghua Shuiyu suddenly smiled, pure and clear, then looked at Black Bull and whispered, ”You should go and heal well. I’ll take my time...”

Chen Xun smiled, placing the Qi-Enhancing Pills into his storage ring, bowed, and left without even glancing at Qionghua Yanbin, not wanting to exchange a single word with him, as they had no connection.

Qionghua Shuiyu watched Chen Xun’s tall figure, suddenly shouting, ”Chen Xun!”

”Hmm?” Chen Xun paused but didn’t turn around.

”Will we meet again in the future... I really like Ximen Little Bull!”

”Moo?”

”Haha, Miss Qionghua, if fate allows, we shall meet again. I won’t linger.”

Chen Xun laughed heartily, raised a hand in a light wave, and then walked into the distance. Black Bull turned to give Qionghua Shuiyu a bright, honest smile before quickly following.

At this moment, as the various clan prodigies passed by Qionghua Shuiyu, they nodded gently to her, as a friend of Lord Crossing the World could not be underestimated.

Elsewhere.

Qionghua Yanbin’s cold expression finally showed a slight frown, but since he was the one who was rude first, he didn’t dwell on it. However, this person’s identity piqued his interest.

As Chen Xun and his group passed by Zhu Xian, he stopped, looking at the junior who was sweating profusely, bowing his head in fear.

He smiled amiably, offering some encouragement, ”Reaching over three hundred floors of the Tower of Babel is already impressive. The world will surely have a place for you in the future.”

Zhu Xian, as if granted amnesty, looked up suddenly, appearing flattered and trembling slightly, ”Thank you, senior, for your words!”

”Hehe, I believe in fate. Zhu Xian, your future fortune will surely be good.”

”I’ll take your words to heart, senior!”

Zhu Xian looked as if he had been injected with adrenaline, grateful he hadn’t thought of mocking them initially.

Such is the grand world of the immortals; you never know the origins of the cultivators around you. Being kind to others is never wrong!

Chen Xun chuckled, walking away with his hands behind his back, feeling relaxed. All issues in Xuanwei Heaven were resolved, and he felt the gentle breeze celebrating with him.

As they marched across the plains, Ji Yan suddenly stopped, stepping forward, ”Crossing the World, I need to take some people to handle a few matters.”

”Is it dangerous?”

”No, I need to meet some of the upper-class disciples of Heaven, which will be very useful in the future.”

”I see, alright.”

”Then, Crossing the World, we’ll meet at the estate we purchased. You head back first.”

”Ji Yan... how many spirit stones did it cost?”

Chen Xun turned his head, asking seriously, ”Just curious.”

By then, Ji Yan had already left with his group, pretending not to hear Chen Xun’s question. However, he turned with a friendly smile, bowing, ”Crossing the World, we’ll discuss it at the estate.”

Chen Xun felt a jolt in his heart, wondering if it was an exorbitant price. Why would that be necessary?!
