Eternal Tale

Buzz—

The fierce winds howled across this world, and Chen Xun’s eyes became exceptionally clear, his mind finally shedding many useless distractions.

He gazed deeply at the lake’s surface, thinking that the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance and the other immortal alliances must have gone mad...

”Emperor... what is the purpose of the Immortal Alliance?” Chen Xun frowned slightly and slowly uttered, ”This benefits no one.”

”We have not intervened in this matter either.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor said calmly, ”The time for the True Immortal Realm to be established is still far off, and it is precisely because of this unexpectedness that such chaos can be stirred.”

A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The emergence of the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan had long been foretold, and the outbreak of war was something no one could conceal. The Immortal Alliance seemed to act on a whim, catching the myriad clans off guard.

But only in this way could they deceive many powerful beings, as one misstep leads to many.

Chen Xun frowned deeply again, ”Emperor, will the human race... hold us boundary openers accountable?”

”Who ever mentioned that?””I once heard some information. Now, with the immortal alliances rushing to their deaths, it seems they have a great enmity with the human race. Combined, this seems to be the only answer.”

Chen Xun sighed, his gaze deep, ”It seems the true decision-makers behind the destruction of the boundary are the strongest myriad clans of Boundless, agreeing to sever the cycle of heaven and earth for all cultivators.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor slowly turned, his gaze fixed on Chen Xun, ”You can inquire about this at the Human Emperor Hall of Boundless. What you need to do now is not to dwell on this matter.”

”In the grand world of immortals, the strong reign supreme. Shi Rong can no longer advance due to the extinguishment of his Dao heart, stopping at the human race’s Milky Way. But you, Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, are different!”

The Three-Eyed Emperor smiled faintly, ”You haven’t been manipulated too much by them. I heard you escaped the Immortal Alliance’s control by extinguishing your immortal essence. It seems you’ve been cautious all along.”

A hint of admiration gradually appeared in his eyes. Every boundary opener was a sharp individual, considering themselves to be of great fortune, but the higher they were raised, the harder they fell.

Even Shi Rong, considered an outstanding creature among the boundary creatures, was still hunted down in the grand world, his head fleeing, suppressed within the Immortal Alliance by the Boundless Myriad Clans.

The vast expanse of the Three Thousand Great Worlds made him prefer those boundary openers who could recognize themselves from the start. Such creatures could truly go further.

By the lakeside.

Chen Xun’s expression remained unusually calm. He and Black Bull were not the type to think of themselves as second only to heaven.

The ability to open the boundary was achieved by many fellow Daoists sacrificing their lives.

They never enjoyed any treatment or recognition as prodigies in the boundary, always blending in as ancestors, naturally differing fundamentally from those boundary openers.

The Three-Eyed Emperor pondered for a moment before continuing, ”Do you have a choice for your Dao heart now?”

”Opening the boundary is not our fault. Even if human nature is like this, this matter was entrusted by my senior brother, by the Marshal of our boundary’s Battle Camp, and by the direction of my and Bull’s Dao heart!”

”If given the choice again, we would still open the boundary!”

Chen Xun said solemnly, his gaze firm, his voice thunderous, echoing in all directions, ”This is my original intention, and even if the grand world’s creatures scorn and curse, it will not change!”

”Hahaha, excellent!”

The Three-Eyed Emperor laughed heartily, ”This order was set by the Boundless Myriad Clans, not by heaven and earth. What fault do you have? You deserve this!”

Their clan inherently disdained the so-called rules of the grand world.

Even if they became immortals or ancestors, they would not acknowledge it if they did not want to, a very straightforward and stubborn clan.

”From now on, if the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan needs anything, Bull and I will come immediately, no matter the distance. If great trouble arises, we will surely protect the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan!”

Chen Xun’s expression became exceptionally determined, his eyes shining brightly, ”No matter what that wicked woman plans, I will act according to my heart, not swayed by any external influence!”

”With the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance and Xuanwei Celestial Palace not destroyed, my brothers are not at ease, and even tea tastes bland. This is a heartfelt statement, without any falsehood!”

Chen Xun spoke each word clearly, his black hair wildly dancing behind him, ”I understand now, waiting too long is futile. When the Boundless Myriad Clans officially declare the grand world, that will be the weakest day for the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance!”

The Three-Eyed Emperor’s smile froze upon hearing this.

He did not want the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan to be too entangled with Chen Xun. He had given so much guidance merely to thank him for the gift of the Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit, to completely end this karma.

But this fellow Daoist Chen Xun’s demeanor was like those of the mundane world... not caring about the cycle of karma, helping once and willing to repay until death...

The Three-Eyed Emperor’s brow twitched slightly, a hint of shock passing through his long-calm heart.

This Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements made him feel a sense of detachment from this world of immortals.

His gaze shifted to Chen Xun, gradually lowering to notice the spirit stone pendant.

The Three-Eyed Emperor casually asked, ”Is this an ordinary inferior low-grade spirit stone?”

”Yes, Bull and I earned an inferior low-grade spirit stone in seven years. This marked our entry into the world of immortals, though we hid and fled, we were carefree.”

Chen Xun smiled slightly, his eyes reflecting memories, ”This was cut from a Heavenly Hidden Stone, holding great significance. We came from the mundane world, and dare not forget.”

There was one thing he did not mention: he actually believed in fortune and metaphysics, having dealt with many funerary matters and learned much from many masters.

This item symbolized his fortune, and wearing it might bring good luck.

”Then this item is indeed precious, comparable to an immortal artifact.” The Three-Eyed Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly, nodding several times, his tone sincere without any jest.

In a brief sentence, he fully understood the nature of this Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements and the reasons behind his decisions.

”Chen Xun.”

”Emperor.”

”Where is your domain now? I have three steps to help you become an immortal. After this, our fate is fulfilled, and the Emperor’s lineage is ready to join the battle.”

The Three-Eyed Emperor finally revealed his ultimate purpose. Without helping this Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, the karmic Dao heart of the entire Emperor’s lineage would not be complete.

He had seen the desire of many Three-Eyed Celestial Venerables to recognize him as a ’godfather.’ Only after he intervened could they truly focus without feeling indebted.

Three steps to immortality?!

Chen Xun’s heart trembled. Such a good fortune existed, and he and Black Bull were clueless about becoming immortals, with no secret methods for immortality available.

His eyes widened slightly, his expression solemn as he bowed, the lake’s surface whipped by fierce winds, a subtle smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
