Eternal Tale

Fang Yu’an’s expression grew more solemn as she took a deep look at their departing backs.

In the Human Clan’s Milky Way blood battle, the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements faced a thousand immortals from the Boundless Myriad Clans... Amidst the encirclement, he slew three Tribulation Immortals!

She gasped inwardly, her scalp tingling slightly. The deeds of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements had always been legendary among the high-level powerhouses of the grand world, and the terror of his lingering might was something ordinary beings could not comprehend.

Just the mention of his name commanded reverence from ordinary cultivators, but above the Great Venerable level... there was only heart palpitations and trembling fear, as his cold, immortal eyes that overlooked all beings always loomed over them.

In the Human Clan’s Milky Way battle, no grand world immortals dared to experience it again, nor did anyone dare to touch that bit of power, knowing that the Dao Ancestor had never unleashed his full strength.

Her expression grew even more grave. Nangong Heling was his younger sister, Mo Ye Han was his old friend, and she was determined not to repeat the mistakes of her past life.

As for directly meeting the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, even if she were to live another life... she wouldn’t dare, not even daring to silently recite his name in her heart, for immortals would surely sense it.

To dare to scheme against an immortal from the perspective of an ant was to court certain death!

Fang Yu’an slightly raised her head, aspiring to board the immense ship of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance. Entering the Dongxuan Dao Academy this time was undoubtedly the right choice, as the path had finally been pried open, but she was still far from qualified.

At this moment, the head of the Dongxuan Dao Academy approached, his eyes gleaming with brilliance: ”Yu’an, Fellow Daoist Nangong has high hopes for you. When you leave the academy in the future, don’t tarnish our academy’s reputation.””Yes.”

Fang Yu’an nodded expressionlessly, maintaining her calm demeanor in the face of both praise and disgrace.

The elders of the academy also held Fang Yu’an in high regard, considering her the most gifted Dao Child in generations, with a future destined for great achievements.

”Headmaster!” Suddenly, a shout came from afar, from one of the academy’s guardian cultivators.

”Hehe, what’s the matter?” The headmaster wore a faint smile, in a good mood, ”Take your time to explain.”

”The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance has issued an immortal decree, donating a million mid-grade spirit stones to our academy! Additionally, they are gifting an island spanning ten thousand miles as a secluded training ground for our academy’s disciples.”

”Everyone, let’s go!”

The head of the Dongxuan Dao Academy’s eyes widened in astonishment, exclaiming, ”Quickly, go welcome the immortal envoy, and hoist the flags of the Immortal Alliance and our academy on this island!”

”Headmaster, this is a great fortune! Our Dongxuan Dao Academy’s foundation has been further strengthened!”

”Haha... Our ancestral master in heaven would surely be comforted to see our academy thriving.”

...

Everyone laughed heartily, heading towards the Council Hall, knowing that the academy’s selfless nurturing of disciples was all for this day, as true immortals never forget their roots.

This news spread like thunder through the Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk, igniting envy and jealousy among the other academies, who gritted their teeth, hoping that the Dongxuan Dao Academy wouldn’t rise another level and develop into a Dao Palace!

Night, outside the Dongxuan Dao Academy.

Heling wandered aimlessly along the road, a trace of worry etched between her brows. News from the tea garden had arrived, but the person she wished to see was not there.

Back then, sealed in chaos by a great array, the divine sense of the communication disk was also severed...

”Miss.” Yunying softly spoke from the side, ”Shall we visit the Chi family?”

Back then, she was deeply involved in that matter, and the Dao Ancestor had invited them from the Wild Heaven Region for this very reason.

Heling smiled, the old grudges long dissipated, and the Chi family no longer caught her eye. She wasn’t as vengeful as her eldest and second brothers.

”I heard the Chi family was forced to leave the Southern Yu Continent by Brother Ji Yan.”

Heling spoke lightly, with an air of nonchalance, ”There’s no need to bully those unrelated who remain.”

”Miss, the leader of the Ji Yan Alliance once declared that there would be no place for the Chi family in the Nine Great Worlds, yet they vanished without a trace.”

Yunying frowned slightly, realizing the Chi family might not be so simple, ”We must be cautious, as hidden threats are hard to guard against.”

Roar!

Little Chi’s eyes widened, daring anyone to try.

Heling pondered for a moment, recalling the words of Prince Gu when he came to Trash Island, mentioning an engagement with Chi Ye of the Chi family...

A trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in her eyes, as Chi Ye was also absent from the tea garden gathering.

”Let’s go to the Feng family.”

Heling shifted the topic, gently waving her sleeve, and a hundred-foot-long wooden ship appeared. They boarded and disappeared into the moonlit sky.

...

The next day, the sky was clear and blue.

The sea surface of the Mengmu Sea Region resembled a curved mirror, shimmering with a gentle blue light. Countless magical sea creatures leaped from the water, their bodies surrounded by colorful auras, their scales glinting with mysterious micro-lights.

The wings of the spiritual beasts in the sky glowed with golden radiance, as tens of thousands of spirit birds spread their wings and soared, majestically passing through the sky, quite in harmony with the treasure ship.

Heling wore a serene smile, basking in the sea breeze, watching the spirit birds fly overhead. She gently raised a hand, and the birds chirped melodiously, often perching on her hand.

Little Chi had initially wanted to tease the passing spirit birds, perhaps catching a few to roast for Brother Xun and Brother Bull, but was suppressed by Heling, leaving him to watch them fly by with longing eyes.

”Ah... what a pity.” Little Chi sighed inwardly.

At this moment, Heling, in her white dress, seemed to be walking among tens of thousands of spirit birds, her aura so harmonious with all things that even Yunying was momentarily stunned. The young lady’s aura... was not of the Spiritual Qi Immortal Path!

The five from Wild Gold exchanged glances, slightly shocked. The young lady’s aura... was so peculiar, devoid of spiritual qi, without any energy fluctuations, yet embraced by all things.

A special constitution!

The Dao Ancestor possessed the Five Elements Immortal Body, transcending the human form, a fact known far and wide. The emergence of an Immortal Body heralded the imminent success of the True Immortal Realm’s creation!

Their hearts were in turmoil. Could it be... the young lady also had the legendary Immortal Body?!

The five were speechless, unable to comprehend how the Dao Ancestor’s family had acquired such a constitution, one that had never appeared before, and why the human race had abandoned the Dao Ancestor’s family.

They dared not speak ill of one of the strongest clans among the Three Thousand Great Worlds, only able to grumble inwardly.

The celestial phenomenon in the sky attracted many gazes, as many cultivators had come to the Mengmu Sea Region, including several prodigies from the Chaos Immortal Spirit List.

Buzz—

A treasure ship several hundred feet long approached the wooden ship, with a dignified young man standing on it, accompanied by dozens of Unity stage experts, indicating a significant background.

He wore a gentle smile, using mana to project his voice, cupping his hands in greeting: ”This esteemed...”

Before the young man could finish speaking, five shadows under the bright sun cast over them, and the power of the surrounding rules surged, making the atmosphere oppressively heavy.

Five figures stood like ancient mountains at the edge of the wooden ship, looking at them expressionlessly.

Yunying slightly turned her head, her gaze cold, as clouds surged around them, and the sea below roared like thunder...

Little Chi glanced at them with interest, their majestic faces weathered by time, and with just one look, all the spiritual beasts on the young man’s treasure ship prostrated themselves!

The young man’s cupped hands froze in mid-air, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Fear appeared in the eyes of all the cultivators on the treasure ship, a chilling sensation spreading through their bodies, their teeth chattering, unable to utter a word, as they faced several Great Ascension Venerables!

And to them... they seemed to be merely the protectors of that woman?!!

An elderly voice came from above: ”Young friends, what is the matter?”

”Senior, n-nothing.”

The young man’s voice trembled, the smile on his face long gone, not daring to lift his head, ”Just passing by, no intention, no intention to disturb.”

The terrifying gaze from above withdrew, and the atmosphere relaxed.

Their treasure ship had stopped in the air, while the wooden ship had already sailed away, leaving the young man still bowing with cupped hands, cold sweat dripping to the ground.
