Eternal Tale

When they were forming their immortal essence, they borrowed the foundation of the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan, accumulated over hundreds of generations.

However, the Five Elements Immortal Body lacked such a foundation, and he had no solution for it, having set it aside since the Great Ascension stage for many years.

The formation of the essence flower could only be considered the formation of the immortal body, but it couldn’t significantly aid the growth of the immortal body.

”Thank you, Ancient Immortal!” Chen Xun couldn’t help but smile, barely able to contain himself. ”I didn’t expect the Burial Word Technique to also have a method to enhance the immortal body... good.”

Black Bull let out a low moo, a trace of doubt flashing through his mind. Had they touched upon some kind of law? The aura of the Ancient Immortal Realm was continuously pouring into them.

It was as if it was a gift prepared long ago... but clearly, it wasn’t meant for them!

Black Bull shuddered, quickly quashing these thoughts. They were here to intercept, after all. Immortals above, forgive them this once; given the current situation, they had no choice but to compete.

Chen Xun seemed to sense Black Bull’s thoughts, gave a light cough, and said nothing more. ”I am a descendant of the Ancient Immortals! Thank you, Immortal Ancestor!”

Suddenly, he glanced at Black Bull, who was full of reverence, his expression turning a bit colder, before quietly returning to his cultivation.

...In the world of cultivation, years pass in the blink of an eye, and a decade went by in an instant.

The azure light of the Ancient Immortal Realm’s sky gradually dissipated, and the Burial Word Immortal Script completely vanished into the world.

Chen Xun and Black Bull stood in shock, speechless, not moving an inch. So... this Ancient Immortal was the progenitor of the Life and Death Immortal Path—Burial!

”Incredible...” Chen Xun took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

At this moment, his body was faintly surrounded by the divine light of the Five Elements, as if he had completely merged with the world. His body was now a part of this world; as long as the world existed, the Five Elements Immortal Body would remain, undying!

Now, to completely kill him would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens, akin to an immortal, an existence that could not be utterly destroyed.

Chen Xun gently raised his hand, his gaze fixed on a patch of grass in the distance, and a beam of azure light shot out instantly.

Whoosh~

The distant grass withered instantly, but this time it was different from before.

The withered grass condensed into a cluster of azure life essence, rather than simply dissipating as it used to...

Chen Xun’s gaze was profound, and with a flick of his finger, the cluster of life essence slowly fell into the withered grass.

In an instant, the withered grass burst with vitality, rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, identical to its former state, with even the life patterns unchanged!

”Moo...” Black Bull snorted in shock, turning to look at Chen Xun.

”Isn’t this the effect of the World Soul...” Chen Xun’s eyes also showed a look of shock, shaking his head, ”No, it’s still lacking, it should be similar to the Water Spirit Decision.”

”Moo!” Black Bull’s eyes shone with wisdom, in full agreement.

”This Burial Word Immortal Technique can extract the life force of living beings... our previous death energy could only corrode, and could even be refined out of the body.”

Chen Xun’s gaze was deep, adding, ”But Bull, this also relates to our past inability to buy any major death energy techniques, our use of death energy was rather primitive.”

Black Bull grinned, rubbing against Chen Xun without a care. They’ve only lived for ten thousand years, without any foundational roots, which is quite normal.

If they really had found some great technique under a cliff, that would be strange; they just don’t have that kind of luck for now.

Chen Xun chuckled lightly, ”It seems we’ve also learned the Slaying Longevity Technique, a Filthy Longevity walking in the grand world... but this should not be the ultimate of the Life and Death Immortal Path.”

”Moo moo!” Black Bull nodded with narrowed eyes.

As the progenitor of the Five Elements Immortal Path, the eldest brother hadn’t reached the end of the Five Elements, still pondering how to transmit the path and elevate the spiritual roots, creating cultivation methods and spells.

This Ancient Immortal, though the progenitor of the Life and Death Immortal Path, couldn’t possibly surpass the eldest brother, naturally not having reached the end.

The more Black Bull thought about it, the more it felt it made sense.

Chen Xun patted Black Bull’s back, feeling quite comfortable, patting a few more times, not bothering with what Black Bull was thinking, as it had its own thoughts and immortal logic.

”Moo moo~~” Black Bull nudged Chen Xun, giving him a knowing look, some words it dared not speak aloud.

”Bull, you damn it, still thinking? Don’t!”

Chen Xun’s face showed surprise, almost ready to unleash a mighty move, ”We’ve been taught and passed on the path, this is our ancestor, quickly quash these thoughts.”

”Moo?!” Black Bull’s eyes widened in urgency, biting Chen Xun, nonsense! How could it be slandered!

Since entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, it had no thoughts of refining the Ancient Immortal’s corpse, only reverence in its heart, such a towering figure in the immortal path... who would dare to act!

No wonder those immortals weren’t interested, some things just couldn’t be done, nor could any thoughts arise.

What Black Bull wanted to express was... such a large supreme-grade spirit stone mine!!

Its eyes suddenly flickered with doubt, something was off, how could Chen Xun misunderstand its meaning, after enlightenment, why did he seem distracted, preoccupied!

”Moo moo?”

Black Bull sniffed the aura on Chen Xun, its hind hoof slightly raised, if something was wrong, it would give this fake Chen Xun a hoof, its mind was quite sharp now.

Chen Xun grasped Black Bull’s horn, chuckling awkwardly, quickly changing the topic, ”Bull, do you know what a supreme-grade spirit stone mine is?”

”Moo moo...” Black Bull was stunned, quickly shaking its head.

Back then, it was focused on reading formation books and transmission stones, not paying much attention to supreme-grade spirit stones, as they were too far out of reach.

”Supreme-grade spirit stones are treasures nurtured by the heavens and earth, possibly found in these special regions, containing pure heavenly laws, they are aggregates of laws, no longer intangible.”

”Moo~”

Black Bull nodded, understood, like turning spiritual qi from ethereal to tangible for cultivators to cultivate, the same applies to heavenly laws.

”We used to scour heavenly tribulations to fill the deficiencies in our spiritual roots with the essence of laws, as many as ten thousand...”

Chen Xun smacked his lips at this point, the Wild Heaven Region had too few cultivators who could undergo tribulation, encountering one in a thousand years was considered lucky, he continued, ”We couldn’t refine much, without any Thunder Pool Immortal Realm or the like for us.”

”Moo!” Black Bull lowered its head with a sigh, slowly accumulating and refining, plucking here and there, they had calculated long ago, it would take hundreds of thousands of years, but they could endure and succeed...

”Bull, this supreme mine is our last chance to supplement our foundational laws.”

”Though we don’t know how many tribulation-crossing experts are guarding us outside, great opportunities come with great risks, let’s do it, even if it incites public anger, there’s no other way.”

Chen Xun also sighed slightly, this time entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, surely many sky-covering great forces were anxious, ”Bull, the last ticket, whether we can dominate eternity, we bet on this one.”

Black Bull exhaled a long breath, eyes unwavering, as long as it followed Chen Xun, there was nothing to fear.

”Bull, let’s go!”

Chen Xun shouted, soaring into the sky.

His gaze was sharp, looking towards the vast golden sea in the distance, not intending to leave a single scrap for the cultivators of this grand world.

If I become an immortal, there will be good fruits for you all to enjoy in the future!

For now, let me feast first!
