Eternal Tale

He looked at Tai Yu on the ground and calmly said, ”Little brother, is there a governor in the Ancient City of True Spirits?”

”No... It’s influenced by the laws of heaven and earth of the True Spirits, very safe. If a duel reaches a certain level, the laws will expel you.”

Tai Yu now held a very humble posture, with no trace of arrogance. ”I once visited it. The Ancient City of True Spirits is controlled by the six sacred lands and is used to host auctions.”

The Wild Heaven Region is rich with treasures, and trading in the wild is too unsafe, with incidents of murder and robbery occurring frequently. Most transactions for cultivating immortality resources are completed in the Ancient City of True Spirits.

”Little brother, I have another request.” Chen Xun smiled gently, ”If you can help me, I will naturally offer you another opportunity.”

”Please speak, Venerable.”

Tai Yu’s expression turned slightly unpleasant. He just wanted to leave this place quickly and never return. The name World-Destroying Elder was enough to drive the cultivators of the grand world mad.

”Help me find a few old acquaintances. If you find them, you can directly crush the Five Elements mark, and I will come personally.”

Chen Xun raised his hand, and several... dozens of portraits fell into Tai Yu’s hands. His face twitched, almost cursing out loud. Is this what he meant by a few?

But the scene of being suppressed a few days ago was still vivid in his mind, and he couldn’t muster any temper, so he respectfully accepted them.However, when Tai Yu saw these portraits, his gaze focused... The images were incredibly blurry, and it was impossible to discern whether they were human or ghost...

Yet, he had a strange feeling in his heart that if these people in the portraits appeared, the paintings would surely come to life!

”Venerable, I understand. If I find them, I will crush the Five Elements mark immediately.”

Tai Yu carefully stored them in his storage ring, quickly cupped his hands, looking calm yet eager to escape.

The two ancient beasts just glanced slightly, unable to understand, feeling that all humans looked the same, with no distinguishing features, except Tai Yu looked different from them.

”Go on, this is my place for quiet cultivation. Bring back top-grade spirit stones when you have them, and refrain from unnecessary killing. Don’t lose the heart of a cultivator.”

”...Yes, Venerable.”

Tai Yu bowed solemnly, took a deep look at the human man, and left with the two ancient beasts, transforming into a rainbow light, moving at an incredible speed, not even stopping to heal.

Boom! Boom!

As they ascended into the air, a series of dull thuds echoed from the ground.

Two massive blood-stained long bones were left on the ground, covered in powerful arcs and angles, with a deep color, exuding an ancient aura.

Its surface was filled with mysterious patterns, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura, as if recording an eternal history, containing the sediment of an era.

”Moo!”

Black Bull leaped out of the river, running directly to observe the bones of the ancient beasts. Such giant bones couldn’t fit into a storage ring and had to be refined carefully.

It turned to look at Chen Xun, grinning, ”Moo moo~”

”Haha... Bull!”

Chen Xun laughed heartily, no longer pretending to be a master, and said loudly, ”As expected of the Wild Heaven Region, truly a paradise for the strong. We should find more little brothers like this.”

”Moo moo~~”

Black Bull let out a long cry, excitement flashing in its eyes. Finding those future strong seeds, plucking their heavenly tribulations, was something Chen Xun came up with and called it protecting the Dao...

He fooled Tai Yu and his brothers so much that it had been holding back laughter in the river. Chen Xun’s demeanor would make anyone who didn’t know think it was the real deal.

In the river, the bamboo raft slowly drifted away.

Chen Xun began painting again, feeling a bit nostalgic for the old blind man in the mortal world. He looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers, smiling, ”Old sir, let Chen Xun see the world of immortality for you.”

An old, yellowed painting spread out, still so ordinary, filled with the rich atmosphere of the mortal world. Chen Xun gazed at it for a long time, a gentle smile on his lips, treating it as a treasure.

On the shore, Black Bull was busy with the giant bones of the ancient beasts, running around, looking very busy.

The next day, as the sun rose.

A thatched hut was built on the ground. Chen Xun took off his white clothes, put on a linen outfit and the straw hat he hadn’t worn in a long time, and started fishing by the riverbank.

This place was covered by Black Bull’s formation, very quiet, with only some spirit beasts and birds running in the mountains, a place at peace with the world.

But it was still the Wild Heaven Region, still within the Wanshou Mountain Range.

Black Bull sat beside Chen Xun, mooing softly. Over the years, they hadn’t enjoyed life like this for a long time, always running around.

Even when they went to the mortal world of the grand world, it was only for the red dust training of their third sister.

It seemed that ever since that sudden great change happened, they hadn’t lived for themselves anymore, even though they had entered the Tribulation Crossing stage, they were still hiding from the prying eyes of the strong, escaping into the Wild Heaven Region.

”Bull.” Chen Xun’s gaze was deep, looking into the distance, not at his fishing hook.

”Moo?”

Black Bull nudged Chen Xun, indicating it was always by his side, never leaving.

”There is no aura of the Tribulation Crossing Venerable in the Wanshou Mountain Range. We can have a peaceful time, fishing, spreading bait.”

Chen Xun smiled faintly, patting Black Bull, ”That old flood dragon should still be alive. Now that we are in the Wild Heaven Region, we should repay our debts.”

”Moo moo!” Black Bull’s eyes turned cold. No matter how Chen Xun reasoned, it would definitely cripple that flood dragon, if not kill it, at least make it shed a layer of skin. It never cared about right or wrong.

It only knew in its heart that whoever dared to attack Chen Xun, it would attack them. Whoever dared to harbor murderous intent towards him, it would kill them!

”Bull, these are just small grudges, don’t dwell on them.”

Chen Xun’s face was peaceful, smiling gently, ”I heard the old thief who bullied Yao Yue is also in the Wild Heaven Region, part of a major sect of the Yuehuang Clan. Things have become interesting.”

”Moo~~” Black Bull nodded. It didn’t care about Yao Yue’s affairs, didn’t understand much, and wasn’t familiar with her. Its hatred was only for that old flood dragon, or else it couldn’t calm its anger.

”Not taking you to the grand event of the immortal nation’s painting was a bit regrettable.”

Chen Xun sighed slightly, the light in his eyes dimming a bit, ”Bull, this time your eldest brother has let you down, not fulfilling our promise.”

”Moo?! Moo moo!!” Black Bull nudged Chen Xun frantically, shaking its head wildly. What was this? The immortal nation wasn’t gone, and such events weren’t held only once!

They could go later, how could it be called a letdown? It got more and more anxious, almost biting Chen Xun.

”Bull! Damn it, don’t bite me, I was just saying!”

Chen Xun suddenly got angry, choking Black Bull’s neck tightly. After all these years, this bull was still stubborn, its wisdom and temperament were not three points short, but five!

”Moo~~” Black Bull became completely docile, patting Chen Xun’s shoulder in comfort, constantly telling him they could go after the grand world became the True Immortal Realm, no rush.

Chen Xun shook his head with a smile, amused by Black Bull, and continued fishing.

But at this moment, the atmosphere suddenly quieted.

Chen Xun and Black Bull suddenly fell silent, their divine senses spreading far, seeing a group of black-robed cultivators heading towards the mines of the Xuanji Sacred Land.

They seemed to be quite fierce, setting up massive war artifacts tens of thousands of miles away, numbering in the hundreds, even more exaggerated than the evil spirits from beyond the boundary!

Chen Xun raised an eyebrow, his expression changing slightly. The vitality of the Wanshou Mountain Range was being drained at a visible speed, but because of the strong feedback from heaven and earth, it didn’t cause any major commotion.

And this seemed to be just a turret of the war artifacts, with even more terrifying movements seemingly awakening, the power of the Great Dao wandering in the Wanshou Mountain Range even trembled slightly at this moment.

Goodness, what a sight!

Chen Xun and Black Bull’s eyes widened slightly. Truly, the Wild Heaven Region was a grand stage. If you have the life, come and see!

But vaguely, they seemed to hear them discussing some alliance, Dark Heaven, Nine Heavens...

Chen Xun’s gaze instantly turned grim, a trace of killing intent leaking out, Dark Heaven Alliance, a subordinate force of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance...
