Eternal Tale

”Dao Ancestor, I’ve come to seek your assistance in a matter.”

Tu Yongchang spoke softly, ”Throughout the vast and boundless Great World of Taiyi, the ancient immortal kingdom is constrained by the rules of the grand world, and its fortune cannot increase any further.”

”Feel free to speak, Immortal Friend Tu,” Chen Xun pondered, his eyes narrowing slightly.

”After the battlefield beyond the boundary concluded, the myriad clans of the Three Thousand Great Worlds divided the outer continent, but our Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom wishes to take a different path and establish territory in the Wild Star Sea.”

Tu Yongchang’s expression was solemn and stern, ”This is a great opportunity, but the Star Sea is where the Dao Ancestor attained enlightenment. If we wish to plant our flag here, we naturally need the Dao Ancestor’s permission.”

”Heh.” Chen Xun chuckled softly, his gaze deep and distant, ”The stars within are like the embryonic form of a small boundary, but the laws of heaven and earth are incomplete, resembling the primordial form of the world. The fortune of your immortal kingdom cannot connect.”

The Taiyi Immortal Court had attempted this before, but it had never succeeded.

”The Dao Ancestor only needs to allow passage and not interfere with the citizens of the immortal kingdom. If you permit this, our Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom will spare no expense to protect the legacy of the Five Aggregates Sect.”

Tu Yongchang spoke with determination, a trace of dominance in his eyes, ”If the Five Aggregates Sect faces difficulties, our Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom will not stand idly by. We will mobilize millions of immortal soldiers to quell any threat.”

”We will also open the doors wide for the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance.”As he said this, he gave Chen Xun a meaningful look, as the small maneuvers of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance had long been noticed by the court of the immortal kingdom.

Moreover, this statement was also a response to the years after Chen Xun’s passing. The promise was significant, as vast as the Three Thousand Worlds, but there would never be another Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements.

”I will consider this matter,” Chen Xun replied calmly, one hand behind his back, ”Immortal Friend Tu, there’s no rush; we are not that familiar.”

Whoosh...

With these words, the falling bamboo leaves around became sharper, causing Meng Sheng’s heart to skip a beat.

This was the grand ancestor of the ancient immortal kingdom, someone who dared to challenge the Boundless Myriad Clans that set the rules of the grand world. Only the old senior dared to speak this way.

”Of course, deciding such a significant matter casually would indeed seem odd.”

Tu Yongchang’s expression remained calm, a slight smile on his face as he glanced around, ”I see the Five Aggregates Sect is in need of revival, so I’ve sent some modest gifts, filling fifty colossal transport treasure ships.”

”However, the journey is long, and we cannot open a spatial passage in the Wild Heaven Region, so it will take some time to arrive.”

Such a grand gesture, he mentioned casually, ”I hope the Dao Ancestor won’t mind. Coming to the Five Aggregates Sect as a guest, one shouldn’t come empty-handed, though I forgot to mention it.”

Meng Sheng was dumbfounded, filled with immortal resources on fifty colossal transport treasure ships...

All these years of risking his life for cultivating immortality, the resources he obtained might not even match the cargo of one transport ship...

It’s over; this immortal path suddenly feels somewhat futile, the path to longevity even more so. Is this the handiwork of an immortal from the ancient immortal kingdom...

”How, how much?” Chen Xun’s voice trembled slightly, his steps halted as he regarded the Heavenly Melody Grand Ancestor, ”Immortal Friend Tu, I, Dao Ancestor, am not such a person?”

”We cultivators, how could we be swayed by such trivial gains? The Five Aggregates Sect may lack depth now, but Immortal Friend Tu’s actions seem to look down on us!”

Chen Xun frowned deeply, his expression more serious than ever before, suddenly asking, ”Immortal Friend Tu, what do the fifty colossal transport treasure ships contain? Do they need an escort?”

”Immortal Friend Tu, don’t overthink it. I, Dao Ancestor, am merely concerned about the loss to the immortal kingdom. The Grand Ancestor coming personally to the Five Aggregates Sect is already a great honor.”

His attitude improved significantly, having said earlier that they weren’t familiar, now considering the Heavenly Melody Grand Ancestor, truly the first in the Three Thousand Great Worlds to change faces... a true reflection of reality.

This scene left Meng Sheng slightly stunned, and the Heavenly Melody Grand Ancestor’s brow twitched.

”Heh, some blessed lands, body refining secret realms, third-grade spirit veins, countless precious herbs, and elixirs... enough to help the Five Aggregates Sect through this period and establish a firm foothold in the Wild Heaven Region.”

Tu Yongchang explained with a smile, ”This merely represents the friendship between our Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom and the Five Aggregates Sect. Naturally, we should have more interactions. Dao Ancestor, no need to overthink it; it has nothing to do with you and me.”

”Sigh...”

The teacup in Chen Xun’s hand shook slightly, his lips harder to suppress than a supreme-grade spirit stone mine about to break through the ground, ”Immortal Friend Tu is truly too courteous.”

”When I have arranged matters in the Wild Star Sea, I will send word to Immortal Friend Tu, and we can discuss further then.”

”Thank you, Dao Ancestor.”

”You’re welcome.”

Chen Xun waved his hand, his gaze steady, inwardly thinking: You should have said so earlier, it’s all about reciprocity... I, Dao Ancestor, am not unreasonable.

He had no resistance to the exchanges between immortals.

”Dao Ancestor.”

”Grand Ancestor Tu, please speak.”

”I heard the Ling family is having a grand wedding, and Dao Ancestor intends to come to the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom?”

”Heh, indeed, that person is a close friend of mine, and I will personally officiate their wedding.”

”Good, then we shall meet again at that time.”

Tu Yongchang’s eyes held a touch of confidence and strength as he looked towards the sky, ”Dao Ancestor, I won’t linger. When you come to Heavenly Melody, the kingdom’s fortune will pave the way for you, and you will be received with the highest immortal etiquette of our Heavenly Melody.”

He then looked at Meng Sheng, praising, ”This young man’s temperament is indeed commendable. If interested in our immortal kingdom, he can have a battle with the prince across the heavens.”

”Dao Ancestor, we shall meet again someday.”

”I...”

Before Chen Xun could finish speaking, Tu Yongchang had already vanished, his Qi cultivation phase unable to react to the actions of an immortal.

He shook his head with a smile; this Heavenly Melody Grand Ancestor’s generosity was overwhelming, making him lose his composure more than a thousand immortals casting spells on him...

But this Grand Ancestor clearly knew that his presence here was not quite appropriate, having not assisted Chen Xun in the Milky Way battle, so he wisely departed.

One could say that immortals speak and act flawlessly, always thinking several steps ahead, never mentioning the Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit, Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill, ominous creatures, or showing any curiosity.

In another’s domain, he never used immortal essence to probe the surroundings, every detail considered, leaving no flaws or weaknesses... the saying that immortals cannot be killed is not just empty words.

Meng Sheng quickly bowed to bid farewell to the Heavenly Melody Grand Ancestor, not daring to breathe.

”Let’s go,” Chen Xun stepped forward.

”Yes, senior,” Meng Sheng followed closely.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, landing precisely in front of Chen Xun.

It was a mysterious figure in a blue robe, with a face unlike that of a human, eyes cold and filled with death energy, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

His appearance made the surrounding atmosphere instantly tense and heavy.

”Ghost Gate, Wangyou, greets Dao Ancestor.”

The blue-robed mysterious figure spoke with a detached tone, yet full of respect, being the only immortal of this generation’s Taiyi Ghost Gate.
