Eternal Tale

Ling Wutian stood at the edge of the chaotic void, his expression complex. His crimson cloak fluttered in the wind, exuding an aura of blood and carnage.

He had been searching the battlefield beyond the boundary for centuries, yet he still couldn’t find them. The disappearance of the fragments of stars linked to the evil spirits from beyond the boundary must be related to them.

Whether it was the Star Hunters, the Corpse Collectors, or Old Man Crossing the World, wherever they appeared, fragments of stars were present.

Undoubtedly, they were cultivators of the grand world, but these were fragments of ancient stars refined by the chaotic clan. The likelihood of someone from the Ancient Saint Clan being able to absorb and refine them was eighty percent!

The ancient stars were imbued with the aura of chaos laws, the only laws that could currently be refined into one’s body in the grand world. If the Ancient Saint Clan dared to send people now, it carried significant implications.

”Have they completely given up on the chaotic clan, or do they still refuse to let go, hoping to preserve the seeds of the chaotic clan?”

Ling Wutian gazed into the distance, a cold glint in his eyes. ”To deploy immortal experts capable of refining chaotic ancient stars, the two clans must have colluded, intending to open the path of chaotic immortality!”

Chaos represents the most primordial state of creation, vague and murky, yet brimming with infinite possibilities for the sublimation of all things. It transcends the constraints of time and space, omnipresent yet elusive.

But they are of the chaotic clan. If they could achieve immortality through the chaos laws, they might even touch upon the legendary path of creation, causing unimaginable upheaval to the essence of the great world.

Once the path of chaotic immortality is opened, they might even be able to trace back through time, seizing the essence of the grand world from the last cycle of heaven and earth, returning to become the foremost clan of the world.During the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans, he knew all too well how the evil spirits from beyond the boundary concealed themselves. Only he had once led people into the depths of the chaotic void, but that battle...

Ended in defeat!

He was gravely injured and sealed within the primordial spirit of the immortal ancient forbidden lands, the most powerful clan to survive the last cycle of heaven and earth. Their means of avoiding disaster were far from simple.

The Ancient Saint Clan was even more indecisive, never taking action but also never expressing any opinions, like mere spectators. Only these ancient figures truly knew the grievances between the two clans.

Nowadays, which cultivator in the grand world still knows that the Ancient Saint Clan was a race that defected from the evil spirits beyond the boundary? Even he himself is no longer sure of Old Man Crossing the World’s intentions.

So he continued to search the battlefield beyond the boundary and the chaotic void, even engaging in repeated battles with the chaotic clan, yet still found no trace of them.

If Old Man Crossing the World wasn’t from the Ancient Saint Clan, then he must have been manipulated, trapped in a colossal quagmire.

The chaotic ancient stars would never allow him to refine them so easily and remain active on the battlefield beyond the boundary. Only the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom could help him escape the situation, as the ancient immortal king of the domain had already emerged!

He was the Blood-Clothed Immortal King of the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom, and he greatly admired such an immortal talent capable of refining chaotic ancient stars. Despite searching for so long, he never felt it was a waste of time.

If he were from the Ancient Saint Clan, he would kill him on the spot to eliminate all potential threats, fearing no pressure from any great clan!

Ling Wutian’s eyes filled with a deep red hue, exuding boundless killing intent and dominance, causing the void to tremble.

Since he couldn’t find them, he would once again invade the heart of the chaotic clan this lifetime. He was certain they would be there.

This era was no longer the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans. Without the various great clans hindering the immortal kingdom, the immortal emperors had ordered the cleansing of the battlefield beyond the boundary, the destruction of the chaotic void, leaving none behind!

The strongest of the myriad clans had long reached a consensus on this matter. The Boundless Great World would not interfere, and the strategy to expand the grand world’s territory was consistent. It remained to be seen how the Ancient Saint Clan would exploit the chaos.

Every spatial passage on the battlefield beyond the boundary was guarded by immortal checkpoints, suppressed by the immortal kingdom’s fortune, preventing any other races from entering. Now, with the checkpoints open, many opportunistic cultivators with ill intentions were present.

Ling Wutian let out a cold snort in the chaotic void, casting one last deep gaze into the depths of space.

He felt that something significant had changed in the bottomless depths of space, yet he couldn’t detect any anomalies. The ominous aura made his heart palpitate...

It was like seeing the Taiyi Ghost Gate from the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans.

”Old Man Crossing the World, we have yet to meet, and today’s encounter didn’t materialize. It seems the time isn’t right.”

Ling Wutian slowly turned around, his cloak trailing behind him, emitting a powerful and domineering aura, yet also showing a rare patience and anticipation. His gaze penetrated everything, his divine sense extending towards the battlefield beyond the boundary.

His divine sense unexpectedly noticed a few thoughts, Crossing the World... Lord?!

A hint of interest appeared in his eyes as he sliced through the void, stepping into the rift without hesitation.

At this moment, the entire battlefield beyond the boundary was engulfed in flames of war, blood flowing for thousands of miles, never pausing for anyone’s departure.

...

Xuanwei Heaven domain, Southern Yu Continent, Mengmu Sea Region.

Compared to the immortal kingdom battles on the battlefield beyond the boundary, this place was noticeably calmer. Large fleets sailed the seas, cultivators crossed the waters, and massive sea beasts leaped into the air.

Countless cultivators hunted sea beasts on various islands, refining demon pills, extracting materials from their bodies, and heading to markets or immortal pavilions to exchange for cultivating resources. Everything was so peaceful.

Today, the vast Mengmu Sea Region stretched endlessly, where sea and sky met, shrouded in mist.

Looking around, an isolated island stood abruptly, with steep cliffs and no signs of life.

On this nameless island, Feng Jinyu, clad in a blue battle robe, sat atop a high cliff, his expression stern. His sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, his gaze sharp as lightning, exuding a sense of confinement.

He held a Rosefinch Pill, sitting atop the high cliff, the pill transforming into a fiery red rosefinch, whirling around him.

This inner pill was a gift from a guardian of the Dongxuan Dao Academy. His talents were limited, having only reached the late Void Refinement stage, unable to progress further in the Dongxuan Dao Academy, and was now heading to the Taiyi Dao Palace.

Before leaving, due to his honest nature over the years... he always saluted this guardian whenever passing by, earning him a small opportunity.

The Dongxuan Dao Academy was full of hidden talents, and he had been somewhat careless!

This habit he learned from Heling, respecting teachers and valuing the Dao, not letting his status blind him to others.

Feng Jinyu had been in seclusion on this nameless island for years, not returning to the Feng family. He heard the Feng family had joined the garbage recycling plant, leaving him with nothing to worry about, focusing on cultivating immortality.

Buzz—

A light screen slowly unfolded, displaying an image from the Image Stone.

Inside was a serene, smiling celestial woman, her eyes clear and untainted. She held a bouquet of flowers, standing in a flower field, smiling as she looked on.

”Hehe...”

Feng Jinyu chuckled softly without realizing it. Beside her was a slightly awkward young man, smiling foolishly and muttering, ”Heling, how have you been all these years? It’s been so long since I’ve heard from you.”

A warm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Having met such an astonishing woman in his youth, it seemed no other woman could stir his heart afterward.

Feng Jinyu knew he and Nangong Heling were from two different worlds. After all, even the Feng family worked under the garbage recycling plant, but he was content being a fellow Daoist, without any unrealistic desires.

Boom!

Suddenly, a roar came from the distant sea, as a sea beast burst from the depths, black water churning, raising towering waves. Its eyes gleamed with greed, sensing the aura of a high-level spirit beast’s inner pill.

But upon seeing the meditating human figure, its pupils contracted slightly, a late Void Refinement stage cultivator!

Feng Jinyu smiled coldly, quickly putting away the Image Stone, his gaze sharp as lightning. This trick never failed.

He waved his hand, drawing his sword. Sword light surged, pointing at the demonic beast, the sword light scattering across the sky, the surrounding energy violently erupting, lightning and thunder flashing, waves surging!

The massive sea beast hadn’t even approached before it was reduced to a rain of sword light and blood, unable to resist. The demon pill and primordial spirit turned into streams of light, collected by Feng Jinyu into his magical artifact.

After slaying the sea beast, Feng Jinyu’s expression remained unchanged. He calmly sheathed his sword, his divine sense continuing to observe the sea.

He needed these demon pills to practice a spell before daring to venture to Xuanwei Heaven, to enter the Tongtian Tower. At his current pace, it would take at least another hundred years.

But Feng Jinyu didn’t find it tedious at all. Every step he took now was to get a little closer to that woman, so that when they met again, he wouldn’t speak with that lack of confidence.

”Hehe.” Feng Jinyu chuckled softly, his appearance unchanged, having taken a Pill of Eternal Youth, just as when he parted with Heling, though his eyes now carried a hint of killing intent.

Suddenly, his divine sense stirred.
