Eternal Tale

A thousand years later.

Gu Lisheng now appeared calm and experienced, exuding an innate nobility. Standing atop the mountain, he bowed deeply and said, ”Uncle Burial, I wish you a smooth journey on your path to Ascending to Immortality.”

Behind him followed a chubby boy, shouting loudly, ”Great-grandfather Burial, have a safe journey~~~”

Gu Lisheng’s gaze turned slightly cold, his clenched fist tightening a bit more. That damned fatty, today he must be eradicated, he cannot be allowed to remain!

The chubby boy patted his round belly with a cheerful smile, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe.

Corn stood with his back to them in the sky, nodding and smiling, waving as he walked further and further away...

Gu Lisheng’s eyes dimmed a bit. In the past, it was always Uncle Burial waving at him, the figure getting closer and closer. Today, it was entirely the opposite, and there was an unsettling feeling in his heart.

”Prince, life and death are each...”

”Countless soldiers!!!”

”A loud boom in the sky!””The ground shakes the mountains and rivers!!”

”Immortal General, Sky Dragon!”

”Immortal General, Earth Tiger!”

”Greetings, Prince!”

”Ah?!”

The chubby boy’s smile froze on his face, and in an instant, he let out an earth-shattering scream, being beaten so badly he couldn’t tell east from west... not knowing what was heaven and earth.

...

Wild Star Sea.

Corn was completely silent within it, as stars shifted and moved!

The hidden potential within him erupted, a grand and boundless pattern of life and death condensed at his brow, opening the Life and Death Immortal Path. The path of life and the path of death should never be separated.

Although Corn had always been on the path of battle and slaughter, lacking the talent to govern the heavens and earth, his immortal path talent was never inferior to anyone. Silence never meant ignorance.

This enlightenment lasted a thousand years.

Phenomena rolled in the star sea, as if he was alternating between life and death, undying and unperishing, neither living nor dying...

Corn’s silent face finally showed a hint of astonishment, as if he had seen something terrifying, but his state also fell into a strange scene.

He couldn’t move a bit, as if he had completely become the laws of the Life and Death Immortal Path, a life and death Dao essence emerging accordingly, but the Wild Star Sea was vast and boundless... still far from enough!!

Corn’s eyes trembled, he saw the outline of the Wild Star Sea’s edge, still expanding, with suns and stars rising and falling with the passage of time.

Countless stars rose and fell within the star sea, his own immortal path... was being devoured by the Wild Star Sea, he had become nourishment, feeding back into this vast and boundless Wild Star Sea.

His own Dao essence couldn’t be inscribed within its world, too insignificant, especially on a star larger than a heaven domain, there was a peculiar mineral vein...

Reversing the Five Elements of heaven and earth!

It constantly interfered with his immortal path aura, even contending with his Dao essence.

Corn took a deep breath, having experienced many great storms, his heart gradually became calm.

The Immortal Court had prepared many contingencies for him, all these situations were anticipated.

He slowly closed his eyes, holding the stars, constantly rotating and exchanging between life and death states, but such a situation... he had long been accustomed to after years of battle, life and death had long been cast aside.

Another ten thousand years of enlightenment...

A world-shocking aura swept across the universe, like a peerless beast awakening, a towering figure stood within the vast and boundless Wild Star Sea, a vast and deep voice spread in all directions:

”I am the Immortal, Burial!”

Corn’s shout shook the stars, the star sea stirred up endless waves, his momentum was overwhelmingly strong, as if there were no more rivals in the world, only he alone suppressed eternity!

He overlooked the four directions, uniting with the Wild Star Sea, yet his immortal path was imprisoned here, incompatible with the grand world and heaven and earth.

Corn’s face was calm, unmoved, even standing in the Wild Star Sea, he could still protect the Taiyi Immortal Court, protect this great world!

But there was no more vitality of living beings on him, nor any death energy, the strange state still flowed on him.

At this moment, suddenly!

Corn’s gaze suddenly pierced through endless years, looking towards a certain place, speaking calmly: ”The inheritor, Chen Xun.”

...

Chen Xun’s pupils contracted sharply, shocked beyond words, why... could he converse with him across the river of time, Burial... how powerful had he become?!

The national religion Fu Shi had laid out the Wild Star Sea, assisting Burial in attaining the Dao, they held the great secret of the immortal path, and this Ancient Immortal... was actually Gu Lisheng’s uncle.

And that chubby boy, he also saw, Song Heng...

They were all beings of the Taiyi Immortal Court, this era was even older than the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans...

His heart was in turmoil, fingers trembling slightly, as if he had seen a true immortal, seen an awe-inspiring Immortal Court that dominated an era, even Burial was just one of the Immortal Kings.

There were too many protagonists of heaven and earth gathered in the Taiyi Immortal Court, he had never been so shocked, the path to attaining the Dao in the Wild Star Sea had long been walked by powerful beings.

Chen Xun’s brow’s pattern throbbed, his expression extremely unsettled, this Ancient Immortal corpse was no longer just a corpse, but like a being that had crossed endless years.

Young Master Gu had great kindness towards them, this person was his uncle...

Chen Xun’s pupils dimmed, his hands resting at his waist, not bowing, speaking in a low voice: ”...Greetings, Immortal King Burial.”

”This king can no longer be reborn, even if you extract the remaining life essence within, it is useless, do not force it, the Burial Word Technique cannot reverse life and death.”

Burial smiled faintly, his eyes exuding an ancient loneliness, ”Even if your immortal essence merges with this king’s remnant thoughts, it remains the same, it will only sever your future immortal path, and you will no longer be yourself.”

”Immortal King Burial...” Chen Xun’s fingers trembled, for the first time feeling completely seen through, ”But this technique is already an evil method... even if I suffer backlash, I am willing to bear it.”

Burial gazed at Chen Xun, gently shaking his head, ”This king does not need to seize any living being, such techniques seem to have already touched your inner bottom line, your Dao heart is not complete, how can you become immortal.”

”Immortal King Burial... I have no time left.”

Chen Xun smiled weakly, ”I need power, power that can dominate the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the external situation changes rapidly, no one will wait for me to grow stronger...”

”There is a prince’s aura in your immortal essence, very deep.” Burial did not respond, but changed the subject.

”Yes...”

”This king’s corpse emerged here, as per the agreement with my Immortal Court’s national religion, to help the prince restore his soul, but it was triggered by your life and death pattern, you and I are fated.”

Burial spoke calmly, ”If the prince can associate with you, this king naturally trusts you, but you are also entangled with the karma of the Three-Eyed Immortal Clan, it seems they sent you here to become immortal.”

Chen Xun nodded silently, surprisingly without ancient words.

”They were not wrong, this place is a shortcut to immortality.” Burial’s face was calm, each word like heavenly music entering Chen Xun’s mind, ”Refining this king’s corpse will suffice.”

”Immortal demise leaves no immortal power on the body, it returns to the Dao-attaining world, but this king is different, the corpse is immortal, the life and death immortal power still remains on it.”

”If you agree to two things for this king, the corpse will be yours to take, aiding you in becoming immortal.”

”Help this king take care of the prince, if the order of the immortal path collapses, and the Great World of Taiyi faces great calamity, do not stand by, help this king guard the Great World of Taiyi once more.”

”Immortal King Burial!”

Chen Xun’s pupils suddenly widened, already shouting out, using an evil method to let the Ancient Immortal seize his immortal essence had already broken his bottom line, he was already on the path of an evil cultivator, ten thousand years of merit shattered.

If he were to refine the corpse of Immortal King Burial... he could not imagine, how would it be different from what the cultivators of Burial Heaven Mound said and thought, how could he face everyone again.

Burial’s gaze was calm, unmoved, ”Since you are unwilling, this king will not force it, but since the Three-Eyed Immortal Clan guided you here, this king can still guide you on another path.”

Chen Xun lowered his head, silently remembering the two requests of Immortal King Burial, he would fulfill them.

Burial slightly tilted his head, his eyes vast like the deep sky, he pointed in a direction, ”Take the path, this is this king’s legacy, if you dare to ascend the path to immortality within the Wild Star Sea, come.”

”There are great life and death crises within, but your immortal path will not be lacking, Chen Xun, you are strong, stronger than any being of the myriad clans this king has seen, the strongest being this king has ever seen.”

”Your immortal path should be within the Wild Star Sea, this king has understood your true heart, willing to see you off, hoping you will protect the prince in the future.”

Burial’s voice deepened, his expression very solemn, he could not see through Chen Xun...

Chen Xun took a deep breath, in fact, this coincided with his original thoughts, but how to attain the Dao in the Wild Star Sea, no one knew, the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan did not know either.

If he attained the Dao within the Wild Heaven Region, he could not suppress the myriad clan immortals, but this Ancient Immortal corpse ultimately showed him a shortcut to immortality, after success, with the support of the system’s power, he would surely be an invincible force.

A faint obsession within Chen Xun completely disappeared, finally bowing at this moment, ”I am willing to try.”

”Hmm, follow this king’s remnant thoughts.”

”Immortal King Burial, please wait a moment!”

Chen Xun’s expression was clear, a glint of light in his eyes, under Burial’s slightly surprised gaze...

Chen Xun took out tens of thousands of storage rings with vast space from his bosom, sleeves, and so on, collecting the endless supreme-grade spirit stones in the golden sea area.
