Eternal Tale

”Old Yin!”

”Speak.”

”Please accept these eight Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruits. You and Senior Cui can each consume five, extending your life by fifteen thousand years, living another lifetime!”

Chen Xun’s gaze sharpened as he spoke with unusual solemnity, ”If you can break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, I, Chen Xun, will accompany you to battle at the Southern Yu Immortal Palace!”

Whoosh—

As these words were spoken, the world fell silent, the wind and snow froze in mid-air, forming crystalline rules filled with a terrifying aura.

At this moment, Yin Tianshou’s aura changed dramatically, his gaze piercing straight at Chen Xun, who met his sharp eyes head-on. Black Bull let out a low moo and slowly raised his head, as three terrifying auras clashed instantly in the air.

The void trembled in an instant, and Cui Ying, shocked in the Immortal Palace, vanished from her spot.

When she reappeared, she saw these two juniors actually confronting Tianshou... in opposition?!

She almost cried out in surprise. For six hundred years, their cultivation hadn’t advanced, clearly at the early Unity stage. How could this be possible?!Tianshou was at the mid-Great Ascension stage, the gap between them as vast as a chasm. Unity cultivators absolutely couldn’t withstand the pressure of a Great Ascension Venerable. This scene was too bizarre.

Yin Tianshou’s expression changed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice, ”Chen Xun, Black Bull, just how many chains of the Great Dao have you severed in the Celestial Realm...”

”Senior, please accept it.” Chen Xun maintained a respectful demeanor, his face unchanged, boasting without a script, ”This is the last of what Bull and I have.”

Yin Tianshou hadn’t yet recovered from his shock. Now in the mid-Great Ascension stage, having refined over a thousand rules of power, why did he always feel a vague sense of suppression...

Impossible!

His brows furrowed slightly. Did that Flood Dragon Venerable really injure Chen Xun back then... Are they truly themselves now? He found it increasingly difficult to see through these two juniors.

Yin Tianshou’s aura softened, and the snow began to spread. He looked at the longevity elixir in Chen Xun’s hands, feeling no joy, but rather a trace of worry.

To take out so many heavenly treasures at once, it seemed they were at the end of their rope, desperately needing his strength. Did they really intend to cause a great upheaval...

”Chen Xun, above the Tribulation Crossing, there are immortals.”

”I understand, Senior.”

”Are you gambling everything, or do you truly have confidence?”

”Old Yin, beyond a hundred moves in a duel, you can’t stop me. The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance of the grand world... I will destroy it!”

As he finished speaking, Chen Xun slowly raised his head, his eyes exuding an unshakable majesty and determination, emanating an unmatched aura.

Every word he spoke was like a mighty torrent, spreading overwhelmingly, resonating with the power of the world’s rules... a symphony of myriad paths!

Buzz—

A massive rift slowly opened in the white light above the clouds. Behind him, the wind surged, the sky changed color, and the laws of heaven and earth obeyed him, countless Dao patterns appearing around him, intertwining with each other.

Yin Tianshou and Cui Ying looked at Chen Xun with faces full of shock. He stood there, his body radiating brilliance like a dazzling star, his aura unparalleled!

They exchanged a stunned glance, the symphony of myriad paths, the legendary figure who severed the chains of the Great Dao... the true posture of a world-shaking Immortal Venerable... they had actually encountered him!

Yin Tianshou trembled as he stroked his beard, his cultivation nurtured over ten thousand years breaking down at this moment, even his lips trembling.

What virtue or ability did he, Yin Tianshou, possess to encounter such a transcendent figure in this lifetime!

Cui Ying was as shocked as if struck by lightning. After six hundred years of companionship, it was only now, due to the longevity fruit, that the power of myriad paths was exposed.

Was Chen Xun too patient... his patience was chilling. If not for these six hundred years together, she would have doubted whether he would even tell them if he left.

”Am I suffering from the backlash of the Dream Path?”

Cui Ying’s face turned pale, still unable to believe the grand world’s fictional legend, ”The symphony of myriad paths, the posture of a supreme Immortal Venerable, such a world-shaking figure truly exists.”

Black Bull let out a low moo, restraining his aura, not wanting to frighten the two seniors too much, as the eldest brother’s goal had been achieved.

”Good! Good! Good!”

Yin Tianshou nodded repeatedly, his aura silently rising, a mighty sword intent soaring into the sky, ”Chen Xun, good!!”

”Tianshou!” Cui Ying exclaimed, but her exclamation carried a hint of joy, as his stable rule power trembled today!

Her eyes slowly welled up with tears. Saving them only brought Yin Tianshou comfort, bringing them safely back from the thousand-year Immortal Prison only evoked emotion, but never truly touched him.

It was as if he was atoning, atoning for his sin of opening the heavens. He dared not have any ambition, dared not resist, bearing all hatred upon himself, which crushed everything about him.

Finally, today, it seemed he truly saw hope, the locked door of his heart finally trembled. Did he not hate the Immortal Palace, did he not hate the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance...

She knew, Yin Tianshou hated more than anyone. Without them, he would have long ascended to the Nine Heavens, willing to die on the path forward, never yielding an inch.

But in his words, without you, there would be no me. Immortals are never solitary, and he would never recklessly harm everyone.

Yin Tianshou’s white beard fluttered, his somewhat cloudy eyes gradually clearing, ”I will accept this, old as I am.”

Chen Xun nodded heavily, then cupped his hands, ”Old Yin, that day won’t be far, and this is not a gamble.”

”For you to endure until now, I naturally understand.”

”Old Yin, Chen Xun takes his leave.”

”Moo moo~~”

”Go, the Image Stone you brought back, I quite like it.”

Yin Tianshou’s face still carried excitement, but he quickly steadied his emotions, ”Now, I wish to live a few more years. When I break through the Tribulation Crossing, the journey to the Southern Yu Immortal Palace will be the day I draw my sword.”

Cui Ying took a deep breath, her gaze shifting to the now immensely powerful Yin Tianshou, ”I’ll accompany you.”

A fierce, unmatched killing intent flashed in Yin Tianshou’s eyes, countless drifting ice crystals in the air shattered, his gaze gradually softening as he turned to Cui Ying with a gentle smile.

Cui Ying’s chest rose and fell slightly, her heart rippling with gratitude towards Chen Xun and Black Bull.

Tianshou’s spirit seemed to be finding its way back through them, the man once invincible in the world was finally returning...

Unintentionally, she gave a slight bow to Chen Xun and Black Bull, her prejudice against them dissipating completely.

Chen Xun and Black Bull cupped their hands towards the two, leaving through the snow. They appeared casual, but upon closer inspection, every step seemed meticulously planned, filled with a profound aura.

Yin Tianshou sighed at this moment, gazing at the vast snow in the distance, as if reminiscing about his years of cultivation, remembering the day he first entered the Boundary Battlefield, the snow was just as heavy.

”Tianshou.”

”Hehe, is there wine?”

”There is.”

Cui Ying’s voice was aged, yet carried a unique ethereal quality, she smiled, ”I’ll brew some for you right away.”

”Very good, very good.” Yin Tianshou stroked his white beard, his eyes filled with satisfaction and comfort, ”Strong and patient, never competing with the prodigies, I am not as good as them.”

”Why compare, such a world-shaking figure emerging in the world, Tianshou... is it destiny, is the great era the Immortal Palace spoke of approaching...”

”I don’t know, this matter is led by the strongest myriad clans of the Boundless Great World, no one can predict it, but the reality is before us, even a figure with the posture of an Immortal Venerable has appeared, ancient immortal clans are awakening, the torrent of the great era of cultivating immortality has begun to advance.”

Yin Tianshou’s aura sank, speaking slowly, ”We probably won’t see that golden age, but there was a rumor in the Boundless Great World, one I heard in the Xuanwei Celestial Palace.”

”Tianshou, what is it...”

”To condense the essence of the great world, using the immortal ancient forbidden lands of each great world as the foundation, to elevate the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds, to transcend this realm, to open the Boundless True Immortal Realm, to create a path for small boundaries to ascend, no longer eroding each other.”

”......”

Upon hearing this, Cui Ying’s mind exploded like thunder, her scalp tingling. So this was why Tianshou lost his spirit in the Immortal Palace... such a plan was too grand, too terrifying!

Anyone hearing such news would only feel their own insignificance and pettiness, what hatred, what competition among the grand world’s prodigies... what did it matter in the face of such a grand plan.

They intended to open the Boundless True Immortal Realm! The collective ascension of the Three Thousand Great Worlds?!!
