Eternal Tale

Deep within.

Chen Xun gradually retracted his aura, revealing a faint, serene smile. ”Mid-Great Ascension stage, just a thousand more rule powers to refine, and I can break through again. With a 440-fold rule power boost, Bull...”

Black Bull also withdrew his aura, slowly exchanging a glance with Chen Xun, their mouths unknowingly twisting into grins.

Yet, they revealed none of their methods, merely unable to contain the powerful aura brought by their breakthrough. The leap in the level of immortal Dao essence was something they thoroughly enjoyed.

This is the fundamental reason why the three minor realms of the Great Ascension stage have a suppressive relationship. The essence of immortal Dao accompanies the immortal path, unenhanceable, only able to be nourished by one’s own realm.

Otherwise, even if you could reverse-slay a Great Ascension stage cultivator at the Unity stage, it would be useless. The essence of immortal Dao remains at the Unity stage, incomparable to others’ life levels, as evidenced by the differing lifespans of different realms.

However, what usually only occurs at major realms happened within the minor realms of the Great Ascension stage, making Chen Xun somewhat curious, irresistibly wanting to explore some immortal Dao taboos.

”Moo!” Black Bull suddenly snorted, a golden formation flag manifesting in his hoof, shimmering brilliantly.

Black Bull raised the formation flag high, his body towering and solemn, with golden rule power flowing on the flag’s surface.

He swung the formation flag without hesitation, weaving golden lines like countless bolts of lightning piercing through the void, swift and fierce.With Black Bull’s movements, the golden formation flag traced complex and exquisite trajectories in the air, conjuring rounds of golden light formation plates, forming a binding formation using the rules of the formation Dao of heaven and earth!

Each swing captured the chaotic paths in the Void Land, fixing them onto the formation flag.

Countless chaotic paths were captured by the flag, gradually brought to order under its influence, emitting a heavy, oppressive hum...

Boom—

A powerful formation force spread out, enveloping the Void Land, forming a grand and complex formation world.

In this world, countless chaotic paths were categorized and woven into intricate formation patterns.

Each pattern shimmered with mysterious light, containing boundless power, interweaving and merging to form an impenetrable formation world barrier, tightly binding the entire world!

Black Bull’s figure remained steady, his eyes revealing a hint of wisdom and indifference, now the true master of this formation world.

He continuously adjusted the rhythm and angle of the formation flag, meticulously arranging each formation pattern, bringing the entire formation to its most perfect state.

Over the years, he had learned to arrange formation patterns, and combined with talisman array techniques, he could manipulate formations with meticulous precision.

Breaking through to the mid-Great Ascension stage, under the suppression of his three thousand rule powers and system enhancements, these chaotic paths couldn’t stir any waves, becoming a terrifying killer move.

However, this formation world was prepared for third sister and fourth brother, solely for them to sever their myriad chains within this world!

Chen Xun squinted slightly, casting a deep glance at Black Bull, quietly giving a thumbs up. Such a grand formation, he couldn’t have achieved it at the early Great Ascension stage.

”Moo~~~”

”Incredible...”

”Moo!”

”Little Crane, Little Chi.” Just as Black Bull was looking satisfied, Chen Xun called softly in a certain direction, ”Bring the Boundary-breaking Ship over, your second brother has prepared a cultivation ground for you.”

In the distance.

Little Crane and Little Chi shuddered, the voice seemed to penetrate space, reaching directly into their minds, as if no matter where they were, as long as he sensed it, a single thought could convey the message.

Buzz—

Before they could react, the Boundary-breaking Ship had already set sail, swiftly heading into the depths.

If an outsider saw this scene, they might feel inexplicably puzzled... Why does it seem so urgent?! Why do I feel this way?!

It’s clearly just an ordinary treasure ship...

Half an hour later.

Four figures gathered on the Boundary-breaking Ship, whispering in the depths of the void, with even sinister laughter and excitement echoing, the terrifying oppressive feeling spreading in all directions, ensuring no Void Ancient Beast would dare approach!

No one knew what grand plan they were discussing, but in the end, the four figures headed in four different directions, each minding their own business, unhurried.

...

The river of time flowed slowly, and whether in the outside world or the Void Land, everything remained incredibly calm, with no world-shaking events occurring.

The entire Three Thousand Great Worlds continued to thrive, the immortal Dao dazzlingly strong, with the eyes of countless powerhouses beginning to fixate on the prodigies listed on the Chaos Immortal Spirit List.

The newly emerged prodigies from various clans were too numerous... And even ancient prodigies from the previous era had emerged, roaming the world, astonishing all!

Apart from the Boundless Great World, the major powers of other great worlds were making significant moves, contributing people and resources, declaring to all heavenly regions and fellow Daoists to forge supreme immortal artifacts and solidify the foundation of their heavenly regions!

This news shook cultivators of all clans, making them speculate or feel like they were grasping something, suspecting a world-shaking plan was hidden within, urging them to board the ship early for guaranteed profits!

The Celestial Path Track plan of the three heavenly regions was among them, with the Void Land still bustling with fervor.

This generation of cultivators was witnessing the unveiling of the fourteenth generation formation diagram of the Celestial Path Track, a credential they could boast about to future generations, something money couldn’t buy!

Five hundred years of peaceful construction of the path track flew by, and Black Bull’s formation Dao prowess astonished the Qiankun Formation Hall, earning him the promotion to Celestial Path Track garrison commander!

This news left Earth-tier and Profound-tier cultivators in shock, wondering where this Ximen garrison commander, with such terrifying promotion speed, came from!

Especially Yellow-tier cultivators, like Que Yan and others who knew Ximen Black Bull, were extraordinarily shocked, thinking such a figure shouldn’t be an obscure nobody!

They even speculated that he might be a direct disciple from the Celestial Formation Dao Palace of the Great World of Taiyi, training on the Celestial Path Track, as such things had happened before, though not to this absurd extent...!

...

Time continued to surge forward, and for cultivators as numerous as stars in the sky, a thousand years was considered a relatively long period.

But for the two longevity holders now, years had long ceased to be counted...

Chen Xun and his companions still remained on the Celestial Path Track, yet a thousand years later, a piece of news finally began to ignite the entire Celestial Path Track, with thunderous commotion at every major formation base.

”Ximen Black Bull, unparalleled in formation Dao, has made indelible contributions to the Celestial Path Track, promoted to Earth-tier formation venerable, and simultaneously, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance declares: his name shall be recorded in the long pages of immortal history.”

...

This announcement left some cultivators so envious their eyes turned red... To be recorded in the grand immortal history?！

If he could break through to Heavenly Venerable, wouldn’t his name truly enter the immortal history, admired by myriad clan cultivators?!!

”Heavens, Ximen Formation Venerable... Achieving such accomplishments in just fifteen hundred years, he must have been the one to improve the fourteenth generation formation diagram.”

”Terrifying indeed, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance personally issued the decree... Truly a living legendary senior!”

”Ximen Formation Venerable... I know him, even spoke with him a few times.”

”What?! Ximen Formation Venerable hasn’t shown himself all these years, Shan Zhuo, you actually know him?!”

...

As Shan Zhuo spoke, he instantly regretted it, as countless gazes fixated on him, seemingly wanting to devour him, overflowing with envy.

”Heh, hehe... It all started back then...” Shan Zhuo began to recount, filled with emotion.

He had now been promoted to the Yellow-tier construction team, as the captain, with strong connections above, even receiving care from the Yellow-tier garrison commander.

And just as the uproar spread everywhere, a calm and indifferent voice echoed from the depths of the Void Land:

”After all these years, Flood Dragon Venerable, Wild Heaven Region, we are coming soon, hehe.”

The calm voice gradually dissipated in the Void Land, but where it spread, the void fell silent, space storms and turbulence completely stilled, as if engulfed by a great terror...
