Eternal Tale

Chen Xun quickly cupped his hands, ”Bull and I don’t plan to stay long in the Mengmu Sea Region. Once my third sister graduates from the Dao Academy, we’ll leave, which is about six hundred years from now. Elder Yin, please don’t worry too much about our future.”

Black Bull nodded vigorously beside him, even dropping his bucket of health tea on the ground.

They didn’t know that Yin Tianshou couldn’t leave the Mengmu Sea Region, thinking it was just his duty at the Celestial Palace.

Upon hearing they were leaving, Yin Tianshou’s eyes flickered with a faint light, seemingly satisfied. After all, with the immortal resources of the Mengmu Sea Region, reaching the late Unity stage was already the limit.

Breaking through to the Great Ascension stage here was nearly impossible. The rules of the Dao were weak near the Void Land, making the success rate of breaking through much lower.

Currently, most of the strong cultivators in the Mengmu Sea Region were outsiders. The local strong cultivators had mostly left, only occasionally returning for a visit, even the Dao Academy was like this.

In terms of immortal resources, the Great World of Taiyi universally recognized the Wild Heaven Region as the best. It was the only vast region without a celestial realm, and it seemed to be expanding.

The power of the heavenly rules was immense, and the spiritual qi was as vast as the ocean.

Most importantly, it was a place recognized as a rule-free zone in the grand world. Only there could one truly understand what it meant to compete for immortality, and how the path of cultivating immortality was like rowing against the current—advance or retreat!

It was also the place where many Heavenly Venerables attained the Dao. To carve out a place in the Wild Heaven Region was already a worthy life for the grand world’s rogue cultivators, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it would make one’s name known throughout the world.Yin Tianshou nodded at this thought, ”Alright, I naturally respect your wishes. Just come back to visit occasionally, and it’s always good to go out and see the world, but prioritize your safety above all.”

”Yes, Elder Yin.”

”Then, in five days, I will also prepare a bit. You can come here, six hundred years is more than enough.”

”Yes!”

”Moo!”

Chen Xun and Black Bull bowed deeply, their eyes filled with joy. The true teachings of a Great Ascension Venerable were far superior to the transmission stone, which seemed too general and not open for questions.

”Hehe, go on.” Yin Tianshou’s gaze grew more benevolent. The hostility in them had completely vanished, no longer blinded by hatred, having found their true pursuit.

Chen Xun and Black Bull nodded solemnly, taking a deep look at Elder Yin, leaving behind several Image Stones of Xuanwei Heaven, and then quietly departed.

They still remembered when Elder Yin asked them to record some images to bring back and see, and today they came for this very reason.

Even if Elder Yin mentioned it casually, as juniors, they couldn’t take it lightly.

Yin Tianshou made no move, sitting straight-backed with his hands on his knees, slightly raising his head to look at the lush tree he brought from his hometown.

His eyes were slightly dazed, realizing how long this tree had accompanied him, as images suddenly flashed before his eyes.

A handsome young man with an aura as sharp as a sword, coming from a martial sect, climbed the deadly immortal mountain to join an immortal sect, leaving a trail of blood with every step.

He remembered that when he reached the top, the young man’s mind was already unclear, but his will remained strong, knowing he must not fall!

When he awoke, he had joined the immortal sect, and a beautiful girl he had never seen before was tending to him. The young man blushed, having never seen such an untainted celestial maiden.

Later, he learned the girl’s name was Cui Ying!

The young man was discovered to have a Heavenly Spirit Root and a special immortal constitution known as the ’Innate Sword Spirit Body.’

His emergence shook the world of immortals, a true immortal prodigy had appeared!

His sect soared, and the young man grew rapidly, defeating geniuses from all directions, challenging the world, asking all the immortal sects, who could withstand his sword?!

On the Boundary Battlefield, countless fellow Daoists gave their all, sacrificing their lives to pave the way for him, finding the grand world’s spatial passage, fearless of life and death, battling Filthy Longevity!

He transformed into the sword intent of heaven and earth, splitting the sky with one sword, shattering the seal of the great world’s essence, illuminating millions of miles with radiance. At that moment, the Boundary cultivators deeply remembered the name and figure of this pioneer.

Yin Tianshou!

Upon embarking on the path of immortality, I shall live as long as the heavens, wielding my sword to shatter all illusions!

He was a true legend of the Boundary, the pinnacle of the Boundary’s immortal Dao, unmatched in history, with no one to rival him! All the brilliance of that generation’s geniuses was overshadowed by him, he was too dazzling.

This young man, full of spirit, entered the grand world, stepping into Void Refinement with a single thought, shining brightly in the Mengmu Sea Region, even receiving an olive branch from the Dao Academy, with its doors always open for him!

However, he looked down with disdain, laughing heartily, ”A mere Dao Academy, a bunch of flowers in a greenhouse, think they can bind me, Yin Tianshou, with this place?! Are they worthy?!”

Later, he left the sea region, heading to the legendary Xuanwei Heaven, a gathering place for the grand world’s geniuses, his eyes filled with excitement, no longer feeling invincible, as there were too many strong peers... too many.

Yin Tianshou gradually gained fame in Xuanwei Heaven, even attracting the attention of several major forces, as the one who split the sky with a sword from a small boundary was no ordinary figure.

However, later, bad news came one after another. Cui Ying told him that something major had happened in the Boundary, destroyed by the Celestial Palace! Many Boundary cultivators were hunted for violating the grand world’s rules...

Upon hearing this, his eyes turned blood-red, spitting out a mouthful of blood, kneeling at the entrance of the Xuanwei Celestial Palace for three days and nights, begging the Celestial Palace to give his Boundary cultivators a way out.

Yin Tianshou was willing to join the Celestial Palace, to eternally guard a region’s peace until his life ended!

But such humble behavior didn’t attract any strong figures, for although he was strong, there were countless geniuses in the grand world stronger than him.

He might have been special in the Boundary, but here, he wasn’t as unique as he imagined.

However, his influence was not small, and several major forces in Heaven spoke a few words on his behalf, leading the Celestial Palace’s strong figures to finally meet him, but they only spoke of rules, cold and unyielding.

Yin Tianshou was on the verge of madness, his hair turning white overnight, constantly kneeling and pleading, asking for a way out for them, willing to join the Celestial Palace!

He didn’t kneel to the heavens or the earth, but only for the myriad beings of his Boundary, having no background or protection, betting only his dignity and path of immortality.

Twice he ascended the Xuanwei Celestial Palace, only to hear one sentence, ”Go to the Wild Heaven Region for a thousand years, if you survive, they survive.”

Such words shocked the major forces, leaving no way out, as the place could kill a Void Refinement cultivator with the aftermath of a Great Ascension Venerable’s duel!

Let alone surviving a thousand years, it was impossible, but he was already challenging the grand world’s rules, and if he wanted to be pardoned, this was the bottom line of the rules, such an opportunity didn’t exist.

Yet, Yin Tianshou agreed, kneeling, carrying a sword, alone, stepping onto the path of Wild Heaven, the road ahead... life or death unknown!

Cui Ying waited alone in Xuanwei Heaven for a thousand years, growing older, as the rules of the Wild Heaven Region were strong, making the Void Transmission Disk unable to transmit, like being inside the Tower of Babel.

But the heavens there were even more terrifying, with even the star matrix unable to connect, leaving her to wait quietly, as no one knew, although Yin Tianshou was a dazzling genius of the Boundary.

Cui Ying was also a peerless beauty of her generation, quietly accompanying him, not competing, overlooked by countless cultivators.

But who among their generation of geniuses didn’t know, seeing Cui Ying was a lifelong regret! Many geniuses felt it was a pity, but Yin Tianshou was indeed worthy of her.

Later, a thousand years later, Yin Tianshou returned safely from the Wild Heaven, but his sharp, sword-like aura had dissipated.

This was his third time ascending the Xuanwei Celestial Palace, but bad news kept coming.

A thousand years had passed, and time waited for no one, his sect had long since dissolved, the Boundary creatures either dead or scattered, losing contact one by one.

Yin Tianshou finally erupted, creating an event that shook all of Xuanwei Heaven, a Void Refinement cultivator attacking the Xuanwei Heavenly Venerable in the Xuanwei Celestial Palace?!!

This event shocked all directions, as it wasn’t just about courage, but the fact that he could withstand the Heavenly Venerable’s invisible pressure and attack, an unprecedented event in the grand world!

But the result was clear, Yin Tianshou was utterly defeated, losing all his spirit, completely losing himself, and no one knew what he experienced in the Celestial Palace.

However, the Xuanwei Heavenly Venerable didn’t punish him, instead absolving the Boundary creatures of their crimes, no longer hunting them.

At least what he did allowed many Boundary creatures to survive.

He took Cui Ying and fully entered the Celestial Palace, traveling all directions, starting as an overseer, becoming an inspector, a deputy palace master, a regional palace master, and finally a Great Ascension Venerable.

But after the Void Refinement phase, his name no longer appeared on the path of geniuses, blending in with the crowd, Xuanwei Heaven being his last brilliance.

Because he ascended to the Great Ascension stage, the Celestial Palace’s final appointment was to eternally guard an ordinary region, with choices heavily suppressed, all regions with the Unity stage limit, with no breakthrough possibility.

Yin Tianshou ultimately chose to retire to the Mengmu Sea Region, eternally guarding this place, with no other ambitions.

He only hoped to meet Boundary juniors, to protect them once more as a senior...

Images flashed quickly through Yin Tianshou’s mind, his eyes glimmering with starlight, yet smiling.

He seemed to see that unyielding young man walking step by step towards him, passing through his body, gradually merging with the distant figure with a bull.

Together, they walked on this vast road, going further and further...

Yin Tianshou’s gaze grew softer, realizing he was truly old, seeing them was like seeing his younger self.

Suddenly, a pair of gentle hands rested on his shoulders from behind.

Yin Tianshou didn’t turn around, still lost in his memories, his smile deepening, reaching out to gently pat the hands on his shoulders.

The figure behind him gradually became clear, revealing an old woman.

She smiled quietly, her gaze following Chen Xun and Black Bull’s departure.

Cui Ying’s previous wariness towards them had turned into gentleness, as if Yin Tianshou hadn’t misjudged these two young Boundary juniors.
