Eternal Tale

The Mo family patriarch’s divine sense exploded upon hearing the words, and he slowly locked eyes with Chen Xun in the distance.

How is this possible... The timeline of cultivation stages doesn’t match at all!

His eyes were filled with shock. The thousand-year Immortal Prison at the Void Refinement phase was definitely correct; the Mo family had orchestrated quite a bit for his old friend. His brows furrowed deeply, realizing he had been too rash today.

The Mo family patriarch quickly regained his composure, his face expressionless, as if such an earth-shattering event couldn’t shake a cultivator at the Great Ascension stage for long.

He nodded slightly toward Chen Xun, his eyes showing a hint of respect. To suppress the power of one’s own rules, this was undoubtedly an immortal Dao powerhouse.

In just a thousand years, he had ascended from the Void Refinement phase to the Great Ascension stage, and was even a powerhouse at that level!

This person wasn’t on the Chaos Immortal Spirit List, and coming from a small boundary, it was completely impossible, even with extraordinary luck!

There might be some ancient monster slumbering within him. It’s best for someone like Mo Ye Han to avoid associating with such a person, as it would bring no benefits, only harm, and they were not on the same level.

The Mo family patriarch, wise with age, had countless thoughts in an instant.

But he didn’t feel he was wrong. A boundary cultivator daring to openly challenge the Immortal Palace was inherently an unstable factor.If he hadn’t used his divine sense to investigate this time, everyone would still be in the dark. Such a powerful person playing the junior’s game with Mo Ye Han? The problem was too big.

Chen Xun also nodded in response, understanding well. Cultivating families were like this; the path of immortality was fraught with danger, and under the rules of the grand world, hidden currents surged. One wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.

He too had once distrusted Gu Lisheng and the fat man. How could such figures be relegated to Trash Island? He had even used his divine sense to investigate Gu Lisheng, behaving just like them.

Chen Xun glanced at the distant sea platform with a slight smile, calm and unperturbed.

He cherished his friendship with Mo Ye Han, who had helped him immensely during difficult times, and he had never harbored any ulterior motives.

But if Chen Xun knew that Meng Sheng and the others were personally sent away by this Mo family patriarch, he might slap himself three times in the dead of night: I truly deserve it!

The Mo family patriarch’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, then he turned his head, appearing calm on the surface but shocked inside: ”A powerhouse at the late Great Ascension stage... not to be befriended or offended, he carries too many secrets.”

He took a deep breath, forgetting everything that had just happened, with no greed or curiosity in his heart. Only the Immortal Palace on the Southern Yu Continent could contend with such a powerhouse at the late Great Ascension stage.

”Fellow Daoist Mo Hua, is it a bit windy here?”

A female cultivator from the Yao Terrace Immortal Palace spoke indifferently, ”My mind was unsettled for a moment just now. It seems that man is not as simple as he appears. I’ve heard Senior Sister Yuxuan mention him a few times.”

”Hehe, just a friend of a Mo family junior.”

Mo Hua’s voice was steady, his eyes unwavering, ”Fellow Daoist Zhen Ying might be overthinking. The world is vast, and it’s good to observe these juniors more. Hopefully, they can surpass us.”

Zhen Ying’s long dress fluttered on the ground, yet she hovered in the air, not touching the ground. She smiled slightly, her eyes deep, ”Fellow Daoist Mo Hua is right. I wonder why the Dao Academy on the Southern Yu Continent is set up in the Mengmu Sea Region?”

She shifted the topic and chatted with Mo Hua about other matters, not glancing at Chen Xun, seemingly unconcerned about him, as if nothing had happened.

On the viewing platform behind.

Chen Xun smiled slightly, suddenly looking in a certain direction, where all the Unity True Lords stood up and cupped their hands, ”Greetings, Senior!”

”Greetings, Venerable!”

...

One figure after another stood up, solemn and respectful, as a graceful and carefree figure walked past them, casually raising a jade-like hand in a perfunctory response.

Chen Xun raised an eyebrow, thinking, why is it that woman again? He really didn’t want to interact with her, feeling she wanted to use her senior status to manipulate him.

The woman paused, a faint smile on her face, ”Chen Xun.”

”Moo?” Black Bull was startled, lifting a hind leg. It was that fierce human woman again!

Little Chi had already tucked its head into the blanket, exhaling lightly, feeling safe, just like when it dug a hole in the ground.

Chen Xun looked a bit helpless as he stood up, ”Greetings, Venerable Yuxuan.”

”Did you let Crane Spirit leave the Dao Academy?” Yuxuan walked straight over, taking the initiative to sit in Chen Xun’s seat, her cool voice lingering in his ears, ”She could cultivate another path of immortality. Isn’t it a pity for her to leave now?”

”Senior, you’re the teacher of my third sister, but I still want to respect her wishes. Her personality is different from what I imagined.”

”What exactly is your relationship?”

”Black Bull is my brother, Little Crane is my third sister, Little Chi is my fourth brother, we’re family.”

”Biological?”

”...Closer than biological!”

”Moo!”

Chen Xun and Black Bull nodded simultaneously, their eyes filled with seriousness and determination, leaving Yuxuan momentarily stunned. Two humans, one Flaming Red Ancient Lion, and one from the bull tribe.

...You’re telling me they’re biological? Such blatant lies!

Yuxuan laughed, amused by Chen Xun, and shook her head, ”I can take Crane Spirit to the Yao Terrace Immortal Palace to cultivate. I’ve already spoken with an elder there, and she’s willing to take Crane Spirit as a named disciple.”

”That elder is also a formidable figure, cultivating the ’Bright Heart and Heavenly Wisdom’ path of immortality. Such an opportunity is rare, and the Yao Terrace Immortal Palace is not much inferior to the Taiyi Dao Palace.”

”Thank you, Venerable Yuxuan, for what you’ve done for my third sister! Chen Xun will remember it!”

”Hmm? Not willing?”

”Hmm... I already have plans for the future path of immortality.” Chen Xun spoke sincerely, ”We plan to travel around and not separate for now.”

”I see.” Yuxuan’s tone softened considerably, ”Then you, as the eldest brother, should pay more attention to Crane Spirit’s cultivation level and lifespan, so you won’t regret it later.”

”Yes.”

”This is a Longevity Pill, which can extend life by five hundred years. It’s a gift from that elder to Crane Spirit.”

Yuxuan gently moved her finger, and a floating jade bottle appeared, explaining lightly, ”Since Crane Spirit isn’t going, I’ll accept it and give it to her.”

Chen Xun’s heart trembled, and he cupped his hands loudly, ”Senior, how could I accept this?!”

”Hmph, since the Immortal Palace elder has already given it, there’s no taking it back. Whether she wants to give it or not, she has to! Besides, such a life-extending item isn’t precious to her, why are you being so fussy?”

Damn...

Chen Xun was shocked. Wasn’t this blatantly embezzling the Immortal Palace elder’s gift? He really didn’t dare to accept it, ”Venerable Yuxuan, please take it back.”

”Hehe...” Yuxuan chuckled, enjoying seeing the man’s embarrassed look, ”Alright, this pill is mine, take it, it’s not from the Immortal Palace elder.”

”Ah?” Chen Xun was stunned, almost cursing. As expected, nothing good comes from meeting this woman. To tease Dao Ancestor in broad daylight in front of so many cultivators?!

His gaze sharpened, and his aura changed dramatically, freezing the atmosphere around him. The Unity cultivators around pretended not to see anything, minding their own business, as if no one dared to be an ignorant Unity True Lord.

Yuxuan raised an eyebrow, her eyes showing interest. What, getting angry?

Chen Xun stepped forward, facing Yuxuan’s somewhat provocative gaze, and solemnly bowed, ”Thank you, Venerable Yuxuan, for the gift!”
