Eternal Tale

His gaze merely glanced over the path below, a glimmer of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

What a refined binding formation, capable of suppressing the Chaotic Path so swiftly and constructing a path of thirty thousand lengths within a century... It must be the work of a powerhouse who has severed over three thousand Dao chains, likely possessing Unity-level strength already.

He hadn’t considered the Great Ascension stage for now, as with such mastery in formations, there was no need to personally construct the path.

”Venerable Qi Ying, the length of the path here has exceeded expectations, not just thirty thousand lengths. There’s no protection from the small boundary’s essence here, and the spatial turbulence and storms are growing stronger.”

”How much longer?”

”The Flowing Light Shuttle Formation has been set up, top-grade spirit stones have been placed in the formation’s core, and the Star Annihilation Dao Severing Grand Formation is complete. We can proceed at full speed.”

”At all costs, bring them back. Alive, we see the person; dead, we see the body.”

”Yes!”

Buzz—

As the words fell, dozens of space warships shimmered with starlight, immense beams of light rising in the Void Land, the spatial turbulence becoming increasingly terrifying, even collapsing and twisting!At this moment, a black hole slowly unfolded, and the space warships instantly plunged into it, beginning their traversal.

Such warship formation techniques capable of traversing the Void Land could only be achieved by the Immortal Palace in this era, but the cost of deployment was hefty, burning top-grade spirit stones with every breath.

Only the spiritual power of top-grade spirit stones could withstand the devouring and turmoil of the Chaotic Path in this chaotic space, highlighting the upper echelons’ emphasis on Ximen Black Bull’s squad.

For ordinary cultivators, this was already the highest honor in their immortal journey.

At the forefront of this dark and cold path, four small figures silently toiled... even with a massive Heavenly Origin presence above them, akin to a Nine Heavens star.

The surrounding void was filled with dense Heavenly Origin Qi, like an endless sea of clouds, emanating grand energy fluctuations.

The boundless spatial turbulence around had been suppressed and dispelled, as the path formation behind seemed to offer little protection, relying solely on their strength to move forward, not wanting to trouble the cultivators here further.

Little Crane and Little Chi’s eyes were calm, seemingly unfazed by the massive Heavenly Origin.

Especially in the Void Land beside the path, two figures sat cross-legged on a fragment of rock, bodies straight, faces serene, eyes closed, absorbing the vast Heavenly Origin Qi.

They were one of the primordial spirits of Chen Xun and Black Bull, assisting in refining the power of the Great Dao, while around them, the Heavenly Origin Qi gathered like rolling waves, slowly merging into their bodies.

Countless void cracks flickered like lightning, with Heavenly Origin Qi surging through the cracks.

Their cultivation ground was filled with a grand and majestic aura, like the center where the power of heaven and earth converged.

The scene in the Void Land constantly changed, spatial turbulence surged, stars flickered, yet the two figures remained unmoved, long immersed in cultivation.

Meanwhile, Chen Xun and Black Bull’s main bodies were still working, showcasing the utility of their multiple primordial spirits. The main body cultivated the qi of the Five Elements, filling the three apertures of heaven, earth, and man within.

The extra primordial spirits were used for labor, refining the power of the Great Dao to nourish the main body’s realm. Once the qi of the Five Elements and rule power were sufficient, they could advance to the mid-Great Ascension stage, perceiving another realm.

However, refining the power of the Great Dao couldn’t be too far from their main bodies, as the Heavenly Origin was hidden within their primordial spirits.

The other primordial spirits had no independent thoughts, all derived from the main body, acting in unison.

Moreover, the speed of refining the power of the Great Dao with one primordial spirit was the same as with five simultaneously, as the order of refining each power of the Great Dao couldn’t be disrupted, requiring a sequential approach.

Whether it was the power of the Great Dao or rule power, they were all laying the groundwork for the rule power behind the immortal path, with all three thousand rules capable of attaining the Dao and ascending to immortality.

The rules of strength, time, space, chaos, immortal path...

But who was the true progenitor of a single Dao remained unknown, as Dao-opening immortals continued to emerge.

Even the strongest myriad clans of the Boundless Great World dared not claim to have fully developed the true immortal path to its utmost.

In their immortal worldview, the Great Dao was endless, with the world opening up the True Immortal Realm, infinitely elevating the immortal path.

They anticipated the arrival of a true golden age of cultivating immortality, where perhaps then the true progenitor of a single Dao would emerge, reigning over the Boundless True Immortal Realm, overlooking the Nine Heavens above!

Today, beside the path.

Chen Xun had crafted a mobile platform, yes, made from discarded materials scavenged from the Void Land, floating slowly along with the constructed path, keeping him busy.

Because he was cooking, these old items truly became more fragrant the more they were cooked, carrying a culinary aroma steeped in the passage of time. He even reached out to taste it, then shouted, ”Dinner’s ready, take a break, balance work and rest!”

”Moo moo~~”

”Coming, big brother.”

”Brother Xun, save a bowl for Little Brother, I’ll fill this up!”

...

Before long, four figures were joyfully gathered here, sitting on the makeshift platform eating, though they no longer felt hunger, the desire for food wasn’t about hunger.

Chen Xun beamed, looking at everyone, ”I’ve calculated, we’ve nearly completed forty thousand lengths, forty billion mid-grade spirit stones, finally earning back the Spirit Realm Manor in Xuanwei Heaven.”

”Moo moo~~”

”Haha, second brother is amazing!”

”Brother Xun, we’re making a fortune, another thousand years of work, and we’ll earn four hundred billion mid-grade spirit stones, faster than robbing!”

Little Chi exclaimed, spinning the large bowl in front of it, ”Seems like working for the big powers is the way to go... Little Brother has realized!”

Little Crane chuckled, quickly reaching out to steady Little Chi’s bowl.

”Hmm... I don’t want spirit stones for now,” Chen Xun pondered, not yet realizing the gravity of the situation, ”With so much path length saved, I want to exchange some formation palace legacies for Bull that can’t be bought outside.”

”Moo?!” Black Bull snorted, eyes wide.

”Of course, we also want the method for making immortal puppets,” Chen Xun chuckled, looking at Little Crane and Little Chi, ”Have you gained any insights into the Chaotic Path in the Void Land over the years?”

”Big brother, you mean?” Little Crane’s eyes brightened.

”Brother Xun... no insights, I’ve been constructing the path,” Little Chi was taken aback, mouth agape, lion’s head shaking, looking at Chen Xun, then at Black Bull, ”Didn’t feel anything...”

”Hey!” Chen Xun almost dumped a bowl of rice on Little Chi’s head, but held back, not wanting to waste his own cooking, laughing and scolding, ”Look at your lack of ambition.”

”Hehe, big brother, don’t blame fourth brother, it contributed the most.”

”Moo!”

”I know, just saying Little Chi always avoids serious matters, we’re cultivating immortality!”

Chen Xun’s tone rose significantly, speaking solemnly, a silent aura rising, ”Since we’re family, you should sever ten thousand of your own Dao chains during the Void Refinement phase, in preparation for the future.”

Black Bull’s gaze also sharpened, nodding heavily at Little Crane and Little Chi, it and Chen Xun had already advanced, naturally understanding how beneficial severing ten thousand Dao chains would be for their future immortal path.

Snap...

Snap...

With these words, the dining table fell silent, the sound of chopsticks dropping onto the table echoed.

Little Crane and Little Chi’s eyes trembled, disbelief in their eyes. Severing ten thousand of their own Dao chains, such a towering figure didn’t exist even in the vast immortal history, how could they possibly...
