Eternal Tale

As they stepped into the Jade Bamboo Range, several cold gazes shot from the main peaks, sending a chill through Zang You’s heart. He dared not look further or meddle.

Something was amiss in this vast mountain range—there were even ancient beasts here!

At the head of the white jade bridge, it was unclear where it extended to. Below was a terrifying cliff, its bottom unfathomable.

Surrounded by a grand formation, the bridge itself was forged from laws!

Zang You gasped, marveling at the grand scale. Compared to before, it was a world of difference.

Bang!

Black Bull tossed the Flood Dragon Venerable to the bridgehead, where he immediately passed out.

The white jade bridge was quite spacious, forming a world of its own. Without guidance, no one could cross it.

Black Bull glanced at Zang You, his expression indifferent as he cupped his hands, ”Moo moo~~”

”Heh, hehe...” Zang You’s smile twitched, ”I’ll wait here for that person.””Moo!”

Black Bull nodded slightly, glancing at the sky. It was almost time!

...

In the chaos beyond the sky, Chen Xun’s expression was sharp. The memories were becoming clearer, tugging at his heart, pain piercing his Dao heart. He finally saw a corner of it...

Black Bull looked at Chen Xun, who often suffered headaches, and nudged him hard. Did he need a spiritual herb for treatment?

”Sigh...”

Chen Xun exhaled slowly, gazing deeply at Black Bull, ”Old Bull, there’s something wrong with the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan’s techniques.”

”Moo?”

”It seems to be tainted with some karmic force, affecting my Dao heart.”

Chen Xun’s voice was heavy, his eyes reflecting an inexplicable meaning, ”Do you know... what I saw?”

”Moo...” Black Bull snorted a long breath. What? Why didn’t it feel anything?

”...A glimpse of our boundary’s destruction.”

Chen Xun’s voice trembled slightly, a drop of cold sweat appearing on his forehead, ”After a century of seclusion, in the last few decades, it felt like I was there, hearing the wails of countless beings, growing clearer.”

”Moo?!” Black Bull’s heart shook, its eyes widening slightly, as if recalling something.

The one who split the heavens with an axe, triggering the grand world’s tribulation, had always been Chen Xun...! He was the true opener of the heavens!

Chen Xun smiled faintly, ”The techniques of other clans aren’t easy to cultivate either, always inexplicably tainted with something.”

Black Bull fell silent, glanced at Chen Xun, then quietly lowered its head.

”The Flood Dragon Venerable has arrived, hasn’t he?” Chen Xun smiled, patting Black Bull, not dwelling on the topic of boundaries, ”I still owe that dragon a whip, it’s a good time to repay it upon returning.”

”Moo!” Black Bull nodded heavily, still showing a look of resentment, easily swayed by Chen Xun.

”Hehe, let’s go.”

”Moo moo~”

...

Two figures swiftly traversed the chaos, space continuously shortening for them.

They once used its laws purely as a tool for travel, never realizing its great utility.

Two days later, on the white jade bridge.

A gentle breeze arose, the world filled with grandeur.

The cultivators from the main peaks surged with energy, spirit beasts and fierce beasts from all directions emerged from seclusion, Immortal Absolute, Mo Fuyang, and others showed excitement, the Dao Ancestor was arriving!

Buzz—

A vast, gentle voice resounded in the sky, a cascading galaxy suddenly poured from a certain space, revealing the figures of a man and a bull.

At the moment of their appearance, the Five Elements of the world made way for them.

At this moment, it seemed the world bowed, the wind ceased, the mountains fell silent, all paying silent tribute. In this moment of time standing still, the main peaks erupted in a thunderous uproar:

”Greetings, Ancestor! Ancestor Bull!”

”Greetings, Dao Ancestor!!”

”Greetings, Senior!!!”

...

Countless beings in the Jade Bamboo Range bowed in worship, even the two ancient beasts showed solemn respect, emitting low roars of reverence from the heart.

Chen Xun smiled faintly, raising his hand to signal, ”No need for formalities, everyone. From now on, the Five Aggregates Sect will rebuild, striving for self-improvement. All other matters will be postponed.”

Though his voice was calm, it covered tens of thousands of miles, making every being feel watched, cared for.

Moreover, it carried a vast vitality, causing plants and trees to visibly grow taller...

Even spirit beasts stuck in bottlenecks trembled, feeling the breakthrough coming!

Disciples from all sides were secretly amazed... this was the Five Aggregates Ancestor.

A legendary figure in the boundary, almost every sect had tales of the Five Aggregates Ancestor, practically a living history of the world of immortals in Kingdom Qian.

All beings were silent, their hearts extremely excited.

Especially the great demons, hearing that the Taiwei Purple Immortal Trees were not extinct, felt their Dao hearts complete again! The senior’s great righteousness!

But only White Spirit held its head high, Frog Daoist had said, with his return, it would be the mountain guardian beast! No, the mountain guardian spirit beast!

It was now considered an elder, having followed the senior from the beginning. In terms of seniority, no spirit beast here could compare.

Sometimes, while roots are important, choice and vision are equally crucial.

White Spirit chuckled softly, a smug smile secretly forming at the corner of its mouth, occasionally raising its head to look around, feeling satisfied.

On the white jade bridge.

Two hazy figures walked slowly, Zang You’s heart almost in his throat, being the most respectful, bowing his head without lifting it.

Too powerful... so powerful that it quelled any thought of resistance!

The Flood Dragon Venerable had awakened, struggling to lift his eyelids, looking at the approaching white-clad figure on the bridge... too familiar, it was him...

Watching them approach, a faint, forlorn smile appeared on his lips.

”If you can walk out of the thousand-year Immortal Prison alive, this venerable will wait for you in Wild Heaven, to ascend to the Great Ascension Venerable.”

”Chen Xun, you still owe my Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins a whip, this venerable awaits you to receive it.”

”If you can’t even leave Xuanwei Heaven, then this venerable has overestimated you, and you shall be buried in the Mengmu Sea Region, guarded by Palace Master Yin until your demise.”

...

The Flood Dragon Venerable’s smile spread, his mouth widening.

It was a self-mockery, a helplessness, not expecting that the Void Refinement cultivator of the past had grown so strong...

While he, in their presence, was merely a mid-stage Great Ascension cultivator.

”...Ha, haha, ha...” The Flood Dragon Venerable finally made a sound, laughing bitterly, helplessly, hoarsely saying, ”Little dragon... greets... senior.”

Chen Xun’s steps paused slightly, smiling peacefully, ”Flood Dragon Venerable, I still owe you a whip. I said I would repay it, even if you were dead, I’d dig up your grave to return it.”

The cold, silent words echoed in the air, making Zang You’s scalp tingle, not daring to breathe, what kind of grudge was this?!

The Flood Dragon Venerable’s head hit the ground heavily, forcing himself to sit up, revealing the last trace of defiance in his eyes:

”Chen Xun! Then prepare yourself, this is my last whip! And the last whip you owe my clan!”

”Come!”
