Eternal Tale

Black Bull let out a soft moo, tearing through the sky, revealing a chaotic void.

Its eyes flashed with a cold, white light, and a long path suddenly appeared, pointing directly towards the human realm of the Xuanwei Heaven domain.

Buzz—

The Boundary-breaking Ship instantly surged into it, enduring the ravages of chaotic and disordered laws. It no longer even needed Black Bull’s formation support to traverse the chaos.

In the seemingly dark abyss of the long path, only the divine light of the Five Elements illuminated the way forward.

Chen Xun strolled leisurely on the deck of the Boundary-breaking Ship, gently caressing every structure and edge marked by the passage of time, a smile constantly playing on his lips.

The ship bore many marks and scratches from past battles, ancient and desolate, having crossed severed paths, traveled the Forbidden Sea, and breached the spatial barriers of boundaries, until finally forcing its way into the Human Clan’s Milky Way.

Unknowingly, this ship had accompanied them for so long, never missing a moment.

”Moo~” Black Bull wagged its tail beside him, looking up at Chen Xun, asking if they should repair the Boundary-breaking Ship.

”Bull, there’s no need.” Chen Xun smiled gently, his gaze resting on a small building that seemed somewhat unprofessionally constructed, ”Our refining skills back then were lacking.””Moo moo~~”

Black Bull chuckled foolishly, especially at the small pavilion, whose proportions seemed all wrong.

One look at this Boundary-breaking Ship, and it was clear it hadn’t been meticulously crafted. In the eyes of the grand world, it was definitely a defective product, unsellable.

But no one else knew that this Boundary-breaking Ship was something they had tirelessly crafted during their Elemental Infant phase, claiming it to be the most perfect magical artifact in the world, a home across the four seas.

”If we repair these marks, wouldn’t we be erasing our past?”

Chen Xun’s eyes deepened as he sat down cross-legged, ”Our old brother here would surely disagree. The imperfections and scratches are the testament to our shared years.”

”Moo!” Black Bull’s eyes bulged slightly, nodding quickly.

”However, we do need to add a protective shield.”

Chen Xun looked around, speaking confidently, ”Now that I, the Dao Ancestor, am in the Qi cultivation realm, if I’m not careful... and fly out again, wouldn’t I lose face in front of others?”

Black Bull squinted slightly, agreeing, and nudged Chen Xun, indicating it was heading to the fields of spiritual herbs below the deck.

”Haha... you rascal.”

Chen Xun laughed heartily, giving Black Bull a firm pat, ”Have you planted all the rare spiritual herbs on our Boundary-breaking Ship?”

”Moo moo~~” Black Bull snorted several times, a hint of pride in its eyes.

If these rare spiritual herbs were to become extinct in the future, they were already storing seeds now, ensuring a worry-free future!

They had all come from a small boundary, witnessing the state of the world of immortals there. After all, on the path to longevity, who knows what the future holds?

It’s always best to prepare in advance, especially during the flourishing times of the grand world. Having endured the hardships of scarce resources, they couldn’t afford to become complacent just because the environment improved.

Chen Xun remembered how he had to haggle for a long time just to buy a bag of ordinary spiritual herb seeds!

”Go on, then.”

”Moo~~”

Black Bull lifted its four hooves and quickly ran down the path at the stern of the ship.

It rarely used mana on the Boundary-breaking Ship, to avoid damaging the structure they had painstakingly crafted.

Chen Xun watched the direction Black Bull ran, his smile deepening.

Having such a dear brother accompany him on the path of immortality, the future was promising... no matter what he faced, he would never despair.

He slowly brought out several incense burners, beginning a sincere offering to the heavens and the earth, feeling a sense of peace for the first time, devoid of any desires.

At this moment, the blue smoke gently drifted upward...

Chen Xun’s gaze focused slightly; it was time to change the incense. In the future, he would need to use better immortal materials for enhancement.

As he continued his offerings, his expression gradually became serene, and his thoughts began to drift.

On Li Chen Island’s Spirit Bank, that Wan Xiangying seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, knowing he was coming to collect a debt. But her appearance... the calculations behind it were not simple.

A faint, inexplicable smile appeared on Chen Xun’s lips. He had never heard of the Wan family of the Human Clan, but it must have some connection to Ye Qingyou, who had been watching him from the shadows for too long.

He had long seen that Wan Xiangying had other motives, but he had blocked her with a few words, not wanting too much contact.

Immortals were not beings ordinary creatures could casually associate with. Only Wan Xiangying, who had once met him briefly, was waiting there, and he had no doubt—

The Wan family had already prepared tens of billions of mid-grade spirit stones to return to him.

Without this strength behind her, Wan Xiangying would never have appeared, and her appearance would have been meaningless.

But Chen Xun now acted on his whims, not wanting to give her face, not even giving her a chance to speak, and he certainly didn’t want to get entangled in various relationships.

...I’ve become an immortal, and you want to come and bask in my glory, but there’s no need.

He disliked forceful taking or giving. The tens of billions of mid-grade spirit stones were earned by his family’s efforts, and being given by others was not the same.

Since becoming an immortal, Chen Xun understood his true intentions better, never doing anything against his wishes. Even earning a single low-grade spirit stone was better than being gifted a supreme-grade spirit stone by others.

His debts were always with the All-Heaven Myriad Realms Spirit Bank, not with any spirit bank family, and that was that.

As Chen Xun’s thoughts drifted, his Earth-tier communication disk was activated.

”Lord Crossing the World.”

”Hehe, Xihan.” Chen Xun smiled faintly, looking at the figure in the light screen, ”It’s been a while since we parted, and you’ve grown younger.”

”...Heh, heh heh.”

Yun Xihan chuckled awkwardly, feeling a bit at a loss for words due to Chen Xun’s comment. If outsiders saw this, they would surely be shocked.

The Cloud Clan of the Boundless Heaven domain had soared like a great roc spreading its wings.

One of their ancestors, overwhelmed with joy, had even broken through the bottleneck of the immortal path, stepping into the Heavenly Sovereign realm!

After successfully overcoming the heavenly tribulation, his first words were to appoint Yun Xihan as the young clan leader, implying that he was the one to rejuvenate the Cloud Clan!

Yun Xihan now commanded widespread support, his influence immense. Since the reconstruction of the Immortal Alliance, he had quelled the chaos among the major forces of the Boundless Heaven domain, fervently recruiting boundary prodigies, competing with the Boundless Human Clan for talents.

Ji Yan’s intention was clear: to build the Nine Heavens Dao Academy, vigorously nurturing the younger generations of all clans, ensuring that the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance would not be left without successors, and not relying solely on the lingering prestige of Crossing the World!

The fame of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance now spread far and wide, renowned everywhere, known to be backed by the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, the supreme immortal who saved countless boundary creatures.

Many ambitious boundary cultivators and prodigies quietly made their way to the Nine Great Worlds.

This subtle influence made even the Boundless Human Clan feel a bit troubled.

For the first time, they began to take people other than Chen Xun seriously, the master of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, Ji Yan!
