Eternal Tale

Above stood the cultivators of the demon clan, easily recognizable by the innate white inscriptions on their faces.

One of the demon clan members spoke expressionlessly, ”The Five Elements Dao Ancestor’s immortal arrival site is a great opportunity that must not be missed, fellow Daoists. I have already instructed my subordinates to purchase several spirit mountains in Elemental Immortal City.”

”Brother Dao, your foresight is admirable,” another demon clan member said with a faint smile. ”However, it’s a pity that the area within ten thousand miles of the Immaculate Immortal Ridge has been designated as a forbidden zone by the Immortal Palace.”

”An immortal’s seat should not be touched by ordinary beings; it is only right.”

The demon clan member snorted coldly, his eyes glancing downward, and he was slightly taken aback as he looked at the small boat below, ”A Qi cultivation phase cultivator... interesting.”

”Brother Dao, that magical artifact is not simple; it might belong to a member of a great clan.”

”Indeed, it has some background.”

In a good mood today, he clasped his hands behind his back and asked loudly, ”Young friend, are you seeking immortality?”

This voice directly reached the Boundary-breaking Ship below.

Chen Xun and his companions chuckled silently, nodding slightly upwards since the other party bore no malice.The demon clan member smiled faintly, ”But with your Qi cultivation phase, it’s still too early. You might not even be able to enter Elemental Immortal City. It would be better to cultivate for a few more days before coming.”

”The Five Elements immortal path has been opened by the Dao Ancestor, and this path can be taken. However, the Qi cultivation phase cannot withstand the residual power of the immortals, so you might return empty-handed today.”

”Hehe, I see, thank you.”

Chen Xun cupped his hands with a smile, calm and composed, ”Young friend, you are welcome to visit the Immaculate Immortal Ridge when you have time. We have matters to attend to today, so we won’t stay long. Until we meet again.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Boundary-breaking Ship vanished in an instant, leaving only a faint mist in its place. The terrifying Dao technique left the demon clan members’ divine senses unable to react.

On the magical artifact, all the demon clan members fell into deep silence.

Especially the one who had spoken, the inscriptions on his face trembled slightly, and cold sweat dripped down his back.

”Brother Dao... Immaculate... Immortal Ridge...” Another demon clan member’s pupils almost shrank to a needlepoint, and he shouted in suppressed shock, ”...Immaculate Immortal Ridge!”

Choked voices echoed, all staring in shock at the demon clan member who had spoken earlier, wondering how he dared...

Immortal, Five Elements Dao Ancestor!!!

The speaking demon clan member’s heart was in turmoil, his limbs seemingly out of control, expressionless, utterly unable to control his body due to the shock.

The air around the magical artifact was as silent as death, with no demon clan member daring to speak. They all bowed their heads and cupped their hands, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, realizing that this was the demeanor of an immortal, who wouldn’t bother with them...

...

Li Chen Immortal Palace still hovered in the clouds.

Black Bull, familiar with the routine, directly used spells to maneuver the Boundary-breaking Ship to the outside of the Immortal Palace.

At this time, the surrounding halls were solemn, and all the Immortal Palace cultivators were respectfully cupping their hands toward the Boundary-breaking Ship. The palace master had said that the Dao Ancestor would personally visit today, so they dared not be negligent.

Yin Tianshou stroked his beard and laughed heartily, full of spirit, having been waiting with Cui Ying for a long time.

Beside him stood a sharp-looking middle-aged man, his presence filled with the essence of the sword, as if the surrounding clouds were cut apart by his aura.

This man was none other than the Sword Sovereign of Sword Sky Ancient City—Xuan Yuanxing!

Buzz...

The Boundary-breaking Ship gradually stopped in the clouds, revealing four figures.

”Chen Xun!” Yin Tianshou shouted loudly, laughing heartily, ”I have been waiting for you for many days!”

”Tianshou, this one has already ascended to the status of Dao Ancestor; you should not call him by name.”

Cui Ying frowned slightly, secretly sending a message to remind Yin Tianshou, ”Our identities are no longer what they used to be; we must adhere to the etiquette of the immortal path.”

Though they took pride in the younger generation’s achievements, they must not act as if they were owed anything; the Dao Ancestor had already helped them enough.

Yin Tianshou was never one for formalities, having offended many great clan members when he first arrived in the grand world. Now that he had regained his spirit, he didn’t expect his old habits to resurface.

Xuan Yuanxing took a deep breath, stepped forward, and cupped his hands, ”Junior Xuan Yuanxing greets the Dao Ancestor.”

Not far away.

”Old Yin! Old Cui!”

Chen Xun called out, a hint of excitement in his eyes, as he stepped off the crane head of the Boundary-breaking Ship. However, he forgot that he was currently only in the Qi cultivation phase...

Whoosh!

...

Chen Xun suddenly plunged headfirst into the clouds, plummeting madly toward the ten-thousand-foot drop to Li Chen Island below, leaving all the cultivators stunned, their minds blank.

In an instant, a heart-wrenching scream came from below, ”Bull!! Hey!! Damn!!!”

”Moo??!!” Black Bull’s eyes snapped open, hastily using mana to lift Chen Xun in mid-air.

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend the situation, even catching the half-immortal realm experts off guard.

The Dao Ancestor... fell, fell down?!

Just fell like that?!

Is this... some kind of spell, or is this the Dao Ancestor’s way of expressing excitement?

The Immortal Palace cultivators dared not think too much, only slightly bowing their heads, believing that the Dao Ancestor must have his reasons for doing so.

To meet the immortal face was already a great honor; they dared not do anything unnecessary.

For example... casting spells to save the Dao Ancestor, or setting up road formations outside the clouds, were not within their understanding or consideration.

On the Boundary-breaking Ship.

Crane Ling and Little Chi both showed a hint of panic in their eyes, having somewhat forgotten that their eldest brother was truly in the Qi cultivation phase, while they were only pretending to be in the Qi cultivation phase, allowing their eldest brother to fall!

”Fourth brother, we need to keep a close eye on our eldest brother; he will truly be angry if he makes a fool of himself in front of so many people.”

Crane Ling frowned deeply, transmitting with a worried expression, ”He was really forced by the Boundless Immortal to only have Qi cultivation phase power.”

Little Chi let out a low growl, nodding silently with a serious expression, feeling a sense of discomfort with no hint of laughter.

Suddenly.

A swirling vortex appeared in the clouds, and Chen Xun, exuding immortal aura and unmatched grace, floated up from below, calmly saying, ”Fellow Immortal Palace young friends, meeting is fate.”

”These are some Qi-Enhancing Pills I casually refined, which may help with your cultivation progress.”

After speaking, Chen Xun waved his hand, and the pills flew out from his storage ring, landing in the hands of the Immortal Palace cultivators who were cupping their hands.

The Void Refinement phase cultivators received them with great joy, shouting, ”Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for your gift!!”

”Thank you, Dao Ancestor!!”

...

They were so excited that their scalps tingled, knowing that being personally gifted by an immortal Dao Ancestor was a boast they could make for a lifetime. If it were the Void Refinement Realm Chen Xun of the past, he would have knelt upon meeting a grand world immortal.

Chen Xun smiled, bestowing blessings, as if the earlier embarrassment had never happened, remaining calm and composed.

With one hand behind his back, he was using the great Qi cultivation phase spell, object manipulation... to distribute the pills!

By now, Chen Xun’s feet were already supported by the wind, held up by Black Bull’s mana, ensuring he wouldn’t fall again. He looked seriously into the distance, cupping his hands:

”Old Yin, this junior has returned to see you.”
