Eternal Tale

Within the Ancient Immortal Realm.

As Chen Xun and Black Bull’s mana penetrated the restrictions of the Ancient Immortal Realm, the entire world seemed to tremble.

This was a secluded new world, where the sun and moon shone together, and Yin and Yang flowed in harmony.

The immense and boundless corpse of the Ancient Immortal exuded an unparalleled aura, so vast that even their expansive divine sense couldn’t perceive its boundaries.

The colossal head of the corpse towered into the clouds, with its massive limbs stretching in all directions, resembling a celestial mountain standing firm between heaven and earth, emanating an ancient and desolate aura.

The spot where Chen Xun and Black Bull stood was merely a tiny part of the corpse’s surface, yet it was enough to leave them dumbfounded.

The skin of this Ancient Immortal corpse was like blue jade, smooth and translucent, adorned with mysterious patterns that resembled immortal scripts, flowing with a faint immortal aura.

Although the eyes of the corpse had lost their vitality, they seemed to contain an ancient majesty that sent chills down one’s spine.

Around them, dense immortal aura permeated the air, and the surrounding scenery was dreamlike, with majestic mountains of gold and silver, crystal-clear streams flowing through valleys, ancient trees towering into the sky, and leaves shimmering with multicolored light.

Parts of the corpse had even transformed into mountains and seas, with a magnificent vein of spirit stones stretching millions of miles across its surface.This vein flowed through a golden sea, extending to the horizon, its end unseen, not on the skin’s surface.

In the depths of this ocean of veins, countless golden points of light flickered like stars. These were supreme-grade spirit stones, their brilliance illuminating the entire ocean, as splendid as the Milky Way.

Gulp...

Gulp...

Two sounds of swallowing saliva quietly broke the silence of this vast and boundless world.

Chen Xun and Black Bull were left speechless, witnessing an open-air spirit stone vein for the first time, and it was the legendary supreme-grade spirit stone vein... They had only seen Spirit Veins before.

They were so shocked they couldn’t speak, feeling as if they had cultivated a false immortality...

Chen Xun even began to doubt the incarnation of the Three-Eyed Emperor, wondering if they were truly immortals, for this was the real immortal!

His breathing became heavier, and he had no doubt that such an immortal corpse could easily obliterate a heavenly domain with a wave of its hand.

Even the lingering might of endless ages made him not dare to be disrespectful, let alone attempt to refine it... The higher one’s immortal realm, the greater the reverence.

”Greetings, Immortal!”

”Moo moo!”

Chen Xun and Black Bull quickly removed their bandit masks, solemnly bowing with clasped hands, not daring to show any levity.

This fantastical land stretched endlessly, and the place they stood was quite open, not in some ancient forest, but rather on a plain, treading on one of the immortal bones of the corpse...

Moments later.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Black Bull cautiously exhaled through its nose, quickly summoning a hundred and eight incense burners, its body adorned with bells that jingled rhythmically.

Chen Xun donned mourning clothes, summoning the King of a Hundred Instruments—the suona, playing a funeral song in this ancient land, even muttering:

”Junior Chen Xun, Ximen Black Bull, have entered the burial ground of the Immortal today, a grave offense... But we have no intention of desecrating the senior’s corpse, may the Immortal rest eternally, with the ages and the divine harmony of heaven and earth...”

”May the Immortal’s spirit in the heavens, fall into a peaceful slumber, and rest in peace...”

”Junior will use the highest immortal rituals to honor the Immortal’s ascension! To commemorate the Immortal’s undying corpse! To praise the Immortal’s eternal deeds! To engrave the Immortal’s lingering might!”

Chen Xun murmured, the law pattern on his forehead flickering, immortal essence surging, as if merging with heaven and earth, his eyes suddenly opened wide, ”Once more, we bow to the Ancient Immortal!”

”Moo moo~~~!”

Black Bull howled to the sky, its voice echoing like an ancient resonance, filled with desolation and sorrow, as if mourning for the master of the Ancient Immortal Realm, for this corpse-turned-immortal burial ground.

Jingle jingle...

The waves of the golden ocean in the distance seemed to calm at this moment, as if listening to the eulogy of Chen Xun and Black Bull.

A solemn and reverent atmosphere pervaded the world, as if witnessing the Ancient Immortal’s repose.

Buzz—

However, in this tranquility, the distant sky began to flicker with boundless azure light, terrifying laws and immortal aura intertwining.

They gathered like an army of billions of cultivators, their momentum grand, slowly condensing into an ancient immortal script!

The formation of this ancient immortal script was grand and majestic, each stroke containing endless immortal laws, each line exuding profound immortal aura.

The azure light flickered as the ancient script formed in the sky, like a pattern of heaven and earth, an ancient immortal power emerging from it, silent yet profound.

This ancient script read—Burial...

A flash of understanding passed through Chen Xun and Black Bull’s eyes, their hearts filled with reverence, even though they couldn’t read the word, they understood its meaning.

Immortal Art, Burial Word Technique!

”Bull, this is a gift from the Ancient Immortal! Quickly, receive it with devotion!”

Chen Xun’s voice was low and powerful, as he waved his robe and sat cross-legged on the ground.

”Moo!” Black Bull’s gaze remained fixed on the Burial Word Technique, showing shock... but it quickly calmed and focused.

Boom!

The sky resounded with an ancient roar, the Burial Word chanting, stirring the two small figures on the vast earth, the law pattern on Chen Xun’s forehead like a tiny spiral, gradually integrating...

Black Bull’s body grew shaggy, robust and mighty, as a mysterious law pattern flickered on its forehead, resonating with the immortal script.

The immortal power of the Burial Word Technique surged within them, like a torrent of life, not a flood of death!

Chen Xun and Black Bull slowly closed their eyes, deeply absorbing the ancient immortal aura.

Their souls seemed to traverse the corridor of time, entering an ancient realm.

In this realm, they perceived the fragility and brevity of life, as well as the existence of eternity.

”...The cycle of life and death, eternal existence.” Chen Xun’s voice echoed like a Buddhist chant within the Ancient Immortal Realm.

”Moo moo...” Black Bull’s eyes were half-closed, following Chen Xun’s murmurs.

Gradually, they began to sense the rhythm of the cycle of life and death, a profound understanding, like the essence of the laws of heaven and earth, the law of life and death was never independent, but complementary.

The Burial Word Technique seemed to integrate their life and death laws together.

Their immortal essence alternated between decay and vitality... constantly weaving through the cycle of life and death.

At this moment, their Five Elements Immortal Bodies suddenly became stronger, as if tempered through countless cycles of life and death!

Rumble!

The ancient roar echoed from all directions of the Ancient Immortal Realm, as they felt their souls transform into a colossal beast, continuously absorbing the gifts of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

In the grand world’s immortal path, the body cannot attain the Dao, the stronger the soul, the higher the limit of body refinement!

The Soul-Nourishing Spirit Clan was once coveted for their talent in enhancing souls, falling into hardship as immortal slaves, and if not for the difficulty in awakening this talent, their suffering would have been greater.

Chen Xun’s heart trembled... The Burial Word Technique was using his life and death laws as a bridge to stir his soul, completing the foundation of the Five Elements Immortal Body!
