Eternal Tale

”Senior, you are an immortal... even a Dao Ancestor. Such words carry immense weight, far heavier than the words of the Ling family’s ancestor.”

As for the Qi cultivation phase, only a fool would believe that this Dao Ancestor truly possesses the Qi cultivation phase. In the grand world of immortals, beings often live for thousands of years and have long become wise.

Ling Qiuchu felt a surge of pride in his heart, pride for Mo Ye Han, a pride that outweighed even that for his own family.

Mo Ye Han, however, furrowed his brow slightly and hesitated, saying, ”Brother Chen...”

”No need for formality between us,” Chen Xun replied with a gentle smile.

”How is your immortal path, your longevity? If you need anything, I, Mo Ye Han, will do my utmost,” Mo Ye Han said with a deep expression. ”As long as I can help you.”

”Brother Mo, it’s fine,” Chen Xun smiled faintly. ”Although my immortal power is gone, my immortal body and essence still lie dormant within me. No one can harm me, but I also find it difficult to harm others.”

”My longevity is also not a concern; I have tens of thousands of years left to live.”

Chen Xun appeared unconcerned, as the system’s longevity points were still in place. ”It’s just that this body struggles to sense spiritual qi and the qi of the Five Elements, as its essence has merged into the boundary.”

Mo Ye Han clenched his fist secretly. For those who cultivate immortality, such a situation is essentially a severed path to immortality.The more Chen Xun appeared calm and composed, the more uncomfortable Mo Ye Han felt inside.

He once possessed such grandeur, becoming an immortal and commanding the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds, waging a bloody battle across the Milky Way, only to end up in this state!

A peerless immortal falling before his eyes, Mo Ye Han’s expression was grim, feeling injustice and resentment for Chen Xun. While others saw him as righteous, he never did.

He heard from the Mo family that ever since Chen Xun sacrificed himself to the Dao, their master had remained silent at the Mo family for a long time, not uttering a word. It could be said that everyone connected to Chen Xun felt the same way. Righteousness? Nonsense!

They all felt deep resentment for him; only those unrelated or who benefited thought of him as righteous, generous at the expense of others.

Seeing people praise the righteousness of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, Mo Ye Han once fought those shouting disciples of the same generation in the Immortal Palace.

Others thought he was crazy, but he was merely venting his inner anger through dueling.

He never mentioned this to Chen Xun, as it wasn’t worth bringing up.

Chen Xun’s eyes were deep, seeing through Mo Ye Han’s thoughts. He patted his shoulder and said softly, ”I can still cultivate slowly. There’s plenty of time, no rush.”

Mo Ye Han remained silent, knowing Chen Xun’s words were just to comfort him, but he felt powerless, unable to help in any way.

He forced a smile, ”Brother Chen, if you have free time, feel free to visit me anytime. We can chat, travel, enjoy tea and wine!”

”Of course!”

Chen Xun’s voice was full of energy, and his restless heart, which had been unsettled for many years, finally found some peace. He turned and said, ”Sister-in-law.”

”Senior,” Ling Qiuchu was very reserved, even more so than when meeting her own ancestor.

”Brother Mo is my brother, just call me eldest brother. Calling me senior makes us seem distant.”

”...Eldest brother.”

Ling Qiuchu seemed to muster great courage to say it, her voice as light as a mosquito’s, her body trembling slightly.

”Qiuchu, no need for this,” Mo Ye Han coughed lightly, one hand behind his back, unknowingly standing a bit straighter.

”......”

Oh, Mo Ye Han!

Ling Qiuchu huffed inwardly, raising her head slightly to glare at Mo Ye Han. When they visited the Ling family of the Immortal Kingdom, he was as timid as a country boy!

Now with the Dao Ancestor by his side, he’s all puffed up!

Mo Ye Han’s face turned slightly awkward, chuckling as Chen Xun also laughed, ”Sister-in-law, if Brother Mo dares to bully you, come tell your eldest brother, and I’ll stand up for you.”

”Hey, Brother Chen!” Mo Ye Han’s expression instantly turned anxious.

”Thank you, eldest brother!” Ling Qiuchu’s smile was like a spring breeze, calling him eldest brother felt natural, and she was no longer so reserved.

This immortal Dao Ancestor had no airs, nor did he seem detached from worldly matters, approachable and warm in conversation, making one feel at ease.

However, she had also heard of this Dao Ancestor’s origins, not from a great family or a powerful sect, but rising from obscurity, a true prodigy among prodigies.

Even her own brother, considered a genius in the immortal path, seemed dim in comparison to this Dao Ancestor’s journey.

As she pondered, Chen Xun had already turned and called out, ”Bull, third sister, Little Chi, why haven’t you come over yet!”

”Sister-in-law, let me introduce you.”

Chen Xun spoke openly, ”This is my blood brother, Ximen Black Bull, this is my blood sister, Nangong Heling, and that is my blood brother, Beiming Red Lion.”

”Moo moo~~”

”Fellow Daoist Qiuchu.”

”Heh, heh heh.”

Three figures approached, each with a unique presence, their restrained aura still giving an impression of extraordinary.

Ling Qiuchu quickly paid her respects, not daring to be presumptuous, ”Greetings, Senior Black Bull, Fellow Daoist Nangong, Fellow Daoist Beiming.”

”Brother Black Bull!” Mo Ye Han stepped forward with a hearty laugh.

Black Bull grinned widely and even nudged Mo Ye Han, old acquaintances indeed.

Ling Qiuchu looked at Nangong Heling, her eyes brightening with a hint of amazement, ”Fellow Daoist Nangong, I’ve heard my brother Yunshen mention you. Seeing you today, you truly are a wonder.”

Nangong Heling had long pink-white hair adorned with black and white leaf ornaments, a floral ribbon around her neck, bright eyes and white teeth, her skin immaculate...

She seemed like a perfect being favored by the heavens, devoid of human traits.

Heling smiled brilliantly, ”Just call me Heling. At Dongxuan Dao Academy, Fellow Daoist Yunshen and Brother Ye Han took great care of me.”

”Roar~”

Little Chi growled lowly beside her, agreeing, ”Back when Brother Xun entered the Immortal Prison, our family and estate were cared for by the Dao Child and Yuxuan... Senior, Fellow Daoist Qiuchu, no need to be formal with us.”

”Haha... Brother Chi, it’s all in the past, no need to mention it,” Mo Ye Han laughed heartily, ”Heling and you are Brother Chen’s family. Entering the Immortal Prison, of course, we had to take care of you.”

Roar~~

Little Chi growled again, Mo Ye Han was undoubtedly recognized as a friend by their whole family, held in absolute regard.

Chen Xun sighed slightly, a look of reminiscence in his eyes, realizing how many years had passed...

Heling and Ling Qiuchu stood together, starting to chat, their connections making them feel like old friends, talking endlessly.

Chen Xun glanced at Mo Ye Han and took out a storage bag with Black Bull’s seal.

”Brother Mo.”

”Brother Chen.”

”When do you plan to marry? Bull and I are well-versed in wedding affairs, don’t forget us, we’ll personally host your wedding.”

”Moo moo!”

Black Bull’s eyes widened, snorting a few times. After so many years, always attending funerals, this time they must enjoy a wedding feast!
