Eternal Tale

Based on the information gathered over the years, they are currently in the Wanshou Mountain Range, among the countless mountains of the Wild Heaven Region.

Chen Xun once used the Five Elements Law to explore it. Stretching for millions of miles, it seemed endless, with numerous secret realms and even more ancient fierce beasts, some of which were hidden Great Ascension stage ancient beasts.

However, there has been no sign of the Tribulation Crossing Venerable, and the Xuanji Sacred Land is not located in the Wanshou Mountain Range. This place is merely a Tianhang Jade Stone mine they occupy, with a decent yield.

It is said that a powerful figure from the Xuanji Sacred Land once passed by and wiped out the ancient fierce beasts’ lair here, leaving it ownerless, allowing the Xuanji Sacred Land to take over naturally!

It might sound unreasonable, but in the Wild Heaven Region, this is the rule, and there are no righteous heroes to criticize you. The rules of the grand world do not apply here.

A domain filled with slaughter, quite a barbaric region.

Over the years, Chen Xun and Black Bull have mined quite a bit of Tianhang Jade Stone. This stone appears as an irregular aggregate with a crystalline and transparent texture.

Its colors vary, sometimes as deep as night, sometimes as clear as water, emitting a strange radiance.

It feels cold and smooth to the touch, yet it faintly exudes a lively aura, akin to the primordial energy of the world at its creation, somewhat similar to the Heavenly Origin star they cultivated, making it a rare treasure.

It is a top-grade material for refining advanced Qi-Enhancing Pills and magical artifacts. Adding a small amount of Tianhang Jade Stone can significantly enhance the efficacy and mana strength of the pills and artifacts.Additionally, it can directly assist cultivators in operating their techniques, improving mana recovery speed. Meditating with Tianhang Jade Stone can accelerate the absorption of spiritual qi, making its utility quite extensive.

But its greatest function is that it can establish a Tianhang Barrier, shielding divine sense, greatly aiding cultivators in secluded cultivation.

Especially against strong divine sense scans from rule-breaking experts like Chen Xun, it appears as a hazy mist.

Many places in the Wanshou Mountain Range are like this, only allowing a rough view of the terrain.

After all, in a place like the Wild Heaven Region, where cultivating immortality treasures frequently appear, even the most extensive divine sense cannot probe every location unless one forcibly breaks in, which would also expose oneself, an unwise move.

Chen Xun and Black Bull’s divine acupoints had already stopped at the Void Refinement phase, leaving them with little recourse for this trump card.

Initially, it seemed like they had gathered a lot of Destruction Stones, but as their realm advanced, they realized... damn, they hadn’t gathered enough back then, a careless oversight!

Fortunately, the Wild Heaven Region also has the presence of immortal ancient forbidden lands, known as the ’Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand,’ renowned far and wide.

A sacred land once attacked this place with the power of its entire orthodoxy, and none returned.

The immortal ancient forbidden lands not only contain countless divine souls coveted by cultivators but also countless scattered Destruction Stones, and even life-extending precious medicines that can grant an additional ten thousand years of life.

This is already a tremendous temptation, but the immortal ancient forbidden lands of the Wild Heaven Region do not acknowledge the Boundless Great World.

Unlike many great worlds where the immortal ancient forbidden lands have been completely subdued, using the forbidden lands as a foundation to collectively elevate the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

No one knows exactly what it looks like inside, whether there are any living beings, or how many unknown treasures remain.

The origin of the immortal ancient forbidden lands seems to be untraceable, but there are rumors in the grand world that it is the place where the first immortals in heaven and earth passed away.

Their immortal bodies transformed into immortal ancient forbidden lands, enduring with the grand world, containing great secrets of becoming immortal, and even the essence left by immortals evolved into the laws of the immortal ancient forbidden lands!

The Wild Heaven Region has just such an isolated immortal ancient forbidden land, and naturally, Chen Xun intends to venture into it; he desires the divine souls, Destruction Stones, and life-extending precious medicines...

He also plans to inquire about the lair of the Three-Eyed Clan, as the immortal ancient forbidden lands should be interconnected, and he and Black Bull still hold a faint hope.

Inside the mine, as people chatted idly, Chen Xun was somewhat perfunctory.

His thoughts had drifted far away; the vastness of the Wild Heaven Region made even a Tribulation Crossing Venerable like him feel overwhelmed, like a headless fly.

Buzz—

Outside the mine, there was a tremor, and a stream of light spread out, revealing a male disciple of the Xuanji Sacred Land before everyone.

He wore a simple blue-green robe of a sacred land disciple, with a light cyan belt at his waist, standing gracefully at the entrance of the mine, a mid-Unity stage cultivator.

His brows were bright, and his eyes sharp as he looked at everyone, speaking coldly, ”Why are you still hiding here? What does the battle of ancient fierce beasts have to do with you?!”

His words were quite unkind, with an air of superiority, and he continued to scold coldly, ”The mining magical artifacts distributed by my sacred land are not for you to idle and chat here.”

”If it happens again, leave the mine on your own, and let fate decide your life and death.”

After speaking, the man snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over Chen Xun and Black Bull without lingering, as they seemed too ordinary, no different from the immortal slaves mining here.

At these words, everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter, only nodding and bowing.

The vastness of the Wanshou Mountain Range is such that without the protection of the Xuanji Sacred Land, leaving this mine is tantamount to suicide!

There are no means of sound transmission here; the Void Transmission Disk and star compass are completely ineffective, and the major powers use sound transmission talismans refined with true spirit blood for communication.

Chen Xun and Black Bull exchanged a slow glance, their eyes conveying the same meaning: the commotion from the ancient fierce beasts’ battle is spreading everywhere, and they won’t even allow a break?!

”Get to work.”

”Yes!”

Everyone responded promptly, even the previously defiant young man had no temper left, beginning to wield the Xuanji Sacred Land’s mining magical artifact, his back bent by just a few words.

Though he appeared respectful after being reprimanded by the sacred land disciple, his brows still showed some dissatisfaction and resentment.

The sacred land man’s gaze darkened slightly as he soared into the sky from the mine entrance, a hint of unease in his eyes.

This time, the battle of the ancient fierce beasts seemed unusual, not merely a simple awakening; they seemed to be fighting over some treasure, even the sacred land elders dared not approach to investigate.

These ancient fierce beasts have extremely strong bodies, with innate talent, able to melt rule power into their bodies at the Great Ascension stage, and innately comprehend the laws of force.

Their recovery speed is faster than their injury speed, almost invincible at the Great Ascension stage, no one can kill them, only their kind can inflict fatal harm.

Such ancient fierce beasts are not something even the sacred land venerables wish to provoke, seemingly afraid of entangling themselves in some great karma.

But now, if they continue to fight endlessly, affecting a wider area, this Tianhang Jade Stone mine will have to be abandoned, and these mining cultivators cannot be saved in time.

They can only let them mine as much as possible while there is still time; the lives of these cultivators and immortal slaves are of no concern to the Xuanji Sacred Land, they can only hope for their own luck.

Thinking of this, his gaze turned cold as he continued to other mining areas to supervise.

Inside the mine, golden light shone, and the constant tremors of the earth made mining a nerve-wracking task. They dared not embezzle the Tianhang Jade Stone, as others naturally had special artifacts for detection.

The defiant young man glanced at the simple worker duo of a man and a bull in the depths, transmitting his voice, ”I wonder how to address you, fellow Daoist, of course... not as the World-Destroying Elder.”

Chen Xun looked into the distance, smiling slightly, ”Dongfang Xun.”

Black Bull glanced sideways at him, then resumed his honest and simple mining, his eyes showing great interest in the Tianhang Jade Stone.

Since arriving in this grand world, they had seen very few treasures of the cultivating immortality world.

”So it’s Brother Xun, I am Wan Zeqian, and I have only recently come to the Xuanji Sacred Land mine.”

Wan Zeqian looked to be in his early thirties, his eyes carrying a hint of rebelliousness and wildness, but when speaking to Chen Xun, his tone was naturally friendly.

He seemed to have a straightforward and passionate personality, not fond of restraint, preferring to act on impulse.

”Hehe.”

Chen Xun chuckled softly, sizing him up, a mid-Void Refinement phase youngster, then spoke, ”Is there something you need?”

”Now that the ancient fierce beasts have awakened and are fighting, the tremors have reached here, I’m afraid this place is not safe.”

Wan Zeqian’s eyes flickered with impulsive light, ”You and I have only recently come to the sacred land mine, there are some stories Brother Xun might not know.”
