Eternal Tale

”What’s the origin of the Burial Heaven Mound?”

The wood-element avatar spoke coldly, pointing a finger at Zang You’s forehead. ”I’m just curious, but if your words are false, let’s see if I can bury you.”

”Taiyi Ghost Gate, the remnant clan of the Burial Domain!”

Zang You’s pupils trembled as he stared intently at the finger, without a trace of doubt in the senior’s words. ”Before the great slaughter of the myriad clans, the remnants of the Taiyi Immortal Court!”

”Oh?” The avatar’s gaze turned contemplative, recalling rumors heard on the battlefield beyond the boundary. ”The Ancient Immortal Emperor?”

”Yes!”

”So, are you trying to make a comeback and rebuild the Taiyi Immortal Court?” The avatar sneered, ”Then what grudge do you have with the ancient dragon clan?”

Zang You’s face twitched, his expression gradually turning cold. He replied icily, ”Senior, you may mock me, but the Taiyi Immortal Court cannot be insulted. The karma involved here is something even an immortal cannot bear!”

He finished speaking, staring directly into the avatar’s eyes, fearless and unafraid, as if he had become a different person.

”Heh.”The avatar chuckled lightly, not angered, but changed the topic. ”And what about the ancient dragon?”

”The Taiyi Immortal Court’s Sky Dragon Immortal General betrayed the clan. Even after countless reincarnations, this clan must be exterminated, never to rest!”

Zang You took a deep breath, his pupils cold and fierce, no longer fearing Chen Xun. ”We have returned, not just the Burial Heaven Mound. With your strength, why not join us? When the True Immortal Realm is established, it will be time to rebuild the Immortal Court!”

”Hmm? Sky Dragon Immortal General?”

”...Hmm.”

”And is there an Earth Tiger Immortal General?”

”...Hmm?” Zang You’s eyes trembled, his face gradually regaining color, incredulously shouting, ”Senior, are you one of us?”

”Ten thousand generals?”

”Senior... one of us?” Zang You’s voice trembled, growing increasingly excited. Such a monumental secret was known only to their own people!

”Was the Ancient Immortal Emperor’s surname Gu?”

”Senior, it seems like a flood washed over the Dragon King’s temple!”

”Hehe...”

Chen Xun’s avatar suddenly chuckled, clenching his fists. ”Even I, the Fishing Emperor, can’t handle this karma, and you dare to scare me?”

”Huh?”

”Impudent!”

”Ah!!!”

...

The entire mountain forest shook as Zang You let out a horrified scream, a fist the size of a sandbag striking his forehead.

Birds and beasts in all directions were startled, prostrating on the ground. It was over; the senior was angry again... They just wanted to bask in the aura of the Great Dao, hoping not to be implicated.

Inside the thatched hut, Black Bull chuckled secretly. Daring to scare Chen Xun, and actually succeeding, knowing there was some connection with Young Master Gu, who else would he hit if not you? The eldest brother is a respectable person.

A stick of incense later.

Zang You lay in a pit, his body feeling as if it had fallen apart.

He trembled as he looked at the avatar, his throat moving continuously, not daring to utter another word, utterly unpredictable!

”Zang You.”

”Senior!”

”Did the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins from the Wild Heaven Region join the battle?”

”Yes, senior!”

”Help me find an old acquaintance, don’t let it fall. I still owe it a whip.”

Chen Xun sneered, sending a divine thought into Zang You’s mind. ”Find it, and we are not enemies with the Burial Heaven Mound. I will visit in the future, is that alright?”

”Thank you, senior, for forgiving my disrespect!”

Zang You stood up and bowed solemnly, as if he had just crawled out of a pile of corpses. ”This Great Ascension Flood Dragon, I will surely find it.”

”Take this Qi-Enhancing Pill.”

Chen Xun’s avatar raised a hand, and a Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill floated over. ”Consider it a reward for your service, but for damaging a corner of my domain and countless precious herbs, leave a million top-grade spirit stones.”

Zang You’s initially joyful expression instantly turned sour, cold sweat forming on his forehead. What... does that mean?

”Don’t have it?”

”Senior... I’ve only been out in the world for a short time, and I only have a hundred thousand.”

”You’re the wealthiest among those who owe me spirit stones, not bad. Hand it over, and you still owe nine hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones. I can provide an invoice if needed.”

Chen Xun’s avatar spoke calmly, appearing very reasonable. ”Don’t go back and say I extorted you; I can account for the loss of every top-grade spirit stone.”

”I have no complaints!”

Zang You took a deep breath, realizing that this situation was actually beneficial. Establishing a connection with this senior was definitely not a loss, and he wouldn’t quibble over these spirit stones.

Slaughtering the ancient dragon clan of the Wild Heaven Region would naturally repay the debt, and he even wanted to repay it slowly. Clearing the debt meant the relationship was over.

He furrowed his brows slightly, bowed deeply again, and then soared into the sky. The image of the Flood Dragon Venerable was clear in his mind, ready to suppress it with a single hand!

Above the pit, Chen Xun’s wood-element avatar stood with one hand behind his back, his gaze growing deep and profound, like the stars, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

...

In the Wild Heaven Region, on the vast and boundless wilderness.

Two figures were fleeing frantically, one with a big belly, holding a Treasure-Seeking Compass, dressed in a yellow Daoist robe.

The other had a cold and resolute face, a tall and upright posture, and an extraordinary demeanor, but there was a hint of pain in his eyes.

”Fat Song! We’ve suffered a huge loss. How do you explore tombs? Do I have to teach you?”

”Gu Chuiniu! Stop with the hindsight. Who knew the power of the Great Dao in the Wild Heaven Region would be so terrifying? Damn it, I’ve wasted twenty years!”

Song Heng’s voice was mournful, his heart bleeding. Exploring a small clan’s tomb unexpectedly led to trouble. ”We’ve lost at least thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones and are being hunted by that small clan. It’s outrageous!”

Gu Lisheng grabbed Song Heng’s Daoist robe, his steps swift, still calculating how many mid-grade spirit stones they had lost... Who earns spirit stones easily from the garbage recycling plant?

Suddenly, he paused, his pupils momentarily dazed.

Song Heng turned and shouted, ”Gu Chuiniu, run! Why stop? That small clan’s expert is locking onto us!”

”Why did I feel like something was watching me just now?”

Gu Lisheng’s face turned icy as he scanned the surroundings, shouting coldly, ”Which rat dares to praise my name? It seems you don’t know the fame of my ten thousand generals!”

Motherfucker, still bragging here, Song Heng cursed, pulling Gu Lisheng to run.

The Wild Heaven Region was not peaceful these days, with clan wars frequently seen, and countless fellow Daoists falling in secluded cultivation in the mountains.

Goodness, it truly forced them into a life-or-death retreat...

Suddenly!

Boom—

Boom!

The sky trembled, the clouds and mist turning fiery red, as majestic Starfalls descended upon the world, tearing through the vast sky, suddenly striking in a certain direction!

Song Heng and Gu Lisheng were both shocked, exchanging a glance without words.

Their eyes held a mysterious meaning, their breaths heavy, and the compass in Song Heng’s hand spun continuously, strands of twilight rising... Factory owner!

But that direction was where the small clan was chasing them.

”Gu Chuiniu...”

”Fat Song...”

”Let’s go back and fight.”

”Very well.”

The two nodded in agreement, dust and smoke rising behind them, ten thousand fierce creatures charging, their murderous aura overwhelming.

The two figures’ gazes turned cold as they faced the ten thousand small clan cultivators head-on.

They began to run, their speed quite slow, charging boldly toward the ten thousand cultivators!

Boom—
