Eternal Tale

The sharp gaze of the Three-Eyed Emperor softened slightly, and he said calmly, ”When Shi Rong first invaded the Slaying Immortal Ancient Domain, I also told him this when his head fled.”

”I see,” Chen Xun quickly calmed his emotions.

”It’s just that he was too deeply influenced by the previous Nine Heavens Alliance Leader, with love and hate too clear-cut, showing his sharpness too openly. By the time he realized it, it was too late. Even now, he doesn’t dare to face our clan directly.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, a hint of dominance in his eyes, ”But the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance was not wrong, and the Nine Heavens Shadow Clan did nothing wrong either. Our clan’s emergence in this era is naturally to overturn the rules of the grand world! We are the true rebels of the grand world!”

”...” Chen Xun was left speechless, thinking this clan was being manipulated, but it turns out they truly are rebels of the grand world!

”But the matter of the opener destroying the boundary, no matter what, it is the freedom of creatures to explore the heavens, and it is also the immortal path our clan follows.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor smiled faintly, having seen through too much of the mortal world, ”No matter how the creatures of this grand world view you, it has nothing to do with you!”

”Leading the myriad beings of the boundary to eradicate Filthy Longevity, sacrificing longevity to pave the way for the immortal path, what a magnificent scene that is!”

”Hahaha...!”

As the Three-Eyed Emperor spoke, he burst into hearty laughter, exuding dominance, ”Human nature can lead to failure or great success. I only have a slight regret from back then; if I were of the human race, I would be an opener!””The Boundless Myriad Clans establish the order of the immortal path for creatures, to sever the cycle of cause and effect of heaven and earth, which is to go against the heavens!”

”If not for this, even if the Human Emperor caused great calamity in the boundary, why would the future generations of humans need to destroy the boundary when they open the heavens! Why would your boundary openers need to kill each other!”

”Chen Xun!”

”Junior is here.” Chen Xun bowed deeply to the Three-Eyed Emperor, his breathing heavy, as an overwhelming aura pressed down.

At this moment, a fierce wind rose, waves surged on the lake, and ancient leaves scattered in all directions.

The Three-Eyed Emperor looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back and said loudly, ”Do you understand these words? Can they fill the regret in your Dao heart?”

”We cultivators, struggling across the sea of suffering for endless years, overcoming heart tribulations, breaking inner demons, refining the mundane world, and looking back over millennia, all are regrets, and the Dao heart is always flawed.”

”Even if an era of myriad paths contending may appear in the future, the Dao heart cannot be abandoned. The first difficulty on the path to immortality is the perfection of the Dao heart!”

”Thank you, Emperor, for your guidance!” Chen Xun spoke solemnly, bowing even lower, seeking instruction.

”You have not walked the path of Shi Rong Immortal, and he has never acted personally like the past alliance leaders.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor said coldly, ”But his ruthlessness towards the creatures of the boundary is the greatest of all generations, even the strong cannot escape. His Dao heart has already perished, and you are far from being his match now.”

A cold glint flashed in Chen Xun’s eyes, but he nodded silently, having been preparing for this for a long time.

He knew well that the Emperor was willing to say so much to him only because of the good fruit; they had never had any friendship or past entanglements.

”Your karma with our clan is resolved, and so is your karma with Ye Qingyou. This human woman still resides in Boundless and is capable of persuading a great clan with her words.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor’s eyes showed a hint of seriousness, ”She has openly plotted against you, placing you on the opposite side of the grand world. If you stand with our clan, the outcome may not be good.”

Chen Xun smiled at these words, his gaze also turning to the lake, ”Thank you for the reminder, Emperor. I am aware.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly, saying no more on the matter. Those with a firm Dao heart will not change due to the great trends of heaven and earth.

But when Ye Qingyou came today, he seemed to see some great karma that made even him uneasy, not now, nor in the near future...

But so distant that it felt vague and hazy, even making him doubt his karmic abilities for the first time!

This fellow cultivator Chen Xun seemed to have some connection with the human race, and the stirring of that karmic line... began with Ye Qingyou!

Though he didn’t want to lose the friendship of this Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, he still wanted to change something, not wanting this person to have too much involvement with the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan.

He had seen Chen Xun’s actions, not lacking humanity, but too emotional.

This is a great taboo on the immortal path, where reason is always swayed by emotion, unable to make the most beneficial choice for oneself immediately.

Ye Qingyou probably understood this fellow cultivator Chen Xun deeply, perhaps even watching him grow step by step.

She likely calculated into the future Dao heart, believing that even if Chen Xun knew everything, he would not change anything.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became much quieter, with only the faint light of illusions on the lake’s surface.

The Three-Eyed Emperor slightly shifted the topic, ”The strongest myriad clans of Boundless have actually listed all the immortal alliances as rebels and will settle accounts with all the upper echelons. This matter has been suppressed by the Ancient Saint Clan.”

”I’ve heard a bit about it.” Chen Xun’s eyes deepened, though he hadn’t heard such news in the Wild Heaven Region, nor did he know much about the Boundless Great World.

At the time, he was quite happy, like most cultivators, just watching the excitement, unable to see through everything, led by the spread of news from all sides.

”In the vortex of the great war, the various immortal alliances, Shi Rong Immortal, Boundless Myriad Clans, and ancient humans.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor turned his head, raising one hand, and the entire lake surged with grandeur, with statues standing in all directions, his third eye becoming exceptionally sharp, ”Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements.”

”Emperor.”

”As a token of gratitude, I am willing to use karmic abilities for you, to see through this chaotic war sweeping across the great worlds, and how to choose, follow your heart, do not be swept away by the great trends.”

”Yes!”

Chen Xun’s eyes focused, his white robe fluttering as his aura soared, beams of divine light of the Five Elements shot into the sky, instantly merging into the lake’s illusions.

”The Eight Great Immortal Alliances broke through the gate of the Primordial Great World, at Qitian, Zhi Xing, Po Wang... Eight ancient paths of Primordial attacked the eight branches of our clan, igniting the Primordial War, and the decisive battle took place in this great world.”

”The Nine Heavens Shadow Clan’s branch defended my Emperor’s branch, guarding the nine great world-origin sources of Shi Rong. This war was never initiated by the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, but by our clan!”

The Three-Eyed Emperor waved his sleeve continuously, and vast landscapes appeared in the lake, ”Our clan wants to be the first to pull down the strongest Boundless Myriad Clans from the Chaos Immortal Spirit List, which is the Nine Heavens Shadow Clan!

”This is a generational blood feud, watch closely, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance has always moved with the Nine Heavens Shadow Clan, not the information transmitted by the Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk.”

”The reason the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance is attacking our clan is only to gather the immortal alliances in the Primordial Great World.”

”The purpose of the various immortal alliances has become clear, to invade the Milky Way and battle the ancient humans of Boundless, with Shi Rong Immortal as the vanguard.”

”The Boundless Myriad Clans have seen through their purpose, yet they have not suppressed the immortal alliances, firstly because the battlefield beyond the boundary cannot be withdrawn, and secondly because this is an internal conflict of the human race.”

”Chen Xun, remember, when the Boundless Myriad Clans declare the Three Thousand Great Worlds and the immortal alliances as rebels, that is when all the upper echelons are already destroyed!”

The Three-Eyed Emperor’s eyes flashed with dominance, ”Our clan seems to be in chaos, but has never entered the fray, with the main forces of each branch already in Taihua, Taixiao, Taihao, and other great worlds.”

”Remember one thing, the war of the immortal alliances of the boundary creatures is not between our clan and the Nine Heavens Shadow Clan, that is to confuse and force the myriad clans to compromise, to open the way.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor pointed, and several phantom statues collapsed, ”Their intention from the beginning was to stir chaos in the great worlds and wage war against the ancient humans of Boundless.”
