Eternal Tale

At this moment, in the center of the grand hall, three people were so excited that their faces flushed slightly, their gazes occasionally drifting towards the person in the main seat.

Chen Xun secretly clicked his tongue, ”Goodness, they really are from wealthy families!”

Black Bull was also swallowing his saliva continuously, his eyes wide open, not because he coveted the treasures they offered, but because he had never even heard of such items, having limited exposure to treasures.

Frog Daoist took a deep breath, his body swelling noticeably. The life talisman... he wanted it!

This supreme treasure could fend off heavenly tribulations; having it was akin to ensuring one could pass the trials of heaven and earth. He wanted it to protect Little White Spirit...

A trace of envy flickered in his eyes. Having a big tree to lean on really was a blessing. Even at the mere Elemental Infant phase, they could already come into contact with immortal treasures. Who knows how many detours on the immortal path they could avoid in the future.

Chen Xun cleared his throat lightly and smiled, ”Since these are gifts from our fellow immortals, how could there be any hesitation? Hurry and give your thanks, serve the tea!”

”Thank you, Immortal!”

The three of them were startled, quickly bowing deeply to them, and served tea to each seat without the slightest overstep.

As for Gu Lisheng... he was somewhat silent, unable to present a gift, as time had worn away all he had.His expression was a bit awkward and sullen. The treasures he currently possessed were all inherited treasures, not to be given away. The Fishing Emperor’s elusive gaze was drifting towards him.

Damn it... If I had known, I wouldn’t have come.

In his storage ring, there were still some mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones. In his heart, he never considered the cultivators of Burial Heaven Mound and Taiyi Ghost Gate as subordinates; their relationship was really quite distant.

”Three juniors,” Gu Lisheng spoke earnestly.

As soon as he spoke, all eyes in the hall gathered, each with a touch of reverence.

”I owe you a meeting gift,” Gu Lisheng, a man of dignity who never appeared weak in public, said in a deep voice, ”When I return, three longevity-enhancing elixirs, starting at five thousand years.”

”Your Highness,” Immortal Burial said calmly, a hint of surprise in his eyes, ”Elixirs that extend life beyond five thousand years are living beings, extraordinary.”

”Think twice, Your Highness,” Wangyou said coldly, giving Gu Lisheng a deep look, ”These are the essence of life and contain the cause and effect of heaven and earth. Retrieving them could disrupt your fortune.”

”Young Master Gu, there’s no need,” Chen Xun smiled gently, ”Why should our friendship be so formal? I have longevity elixirs, the Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit is just one of them.”

With those words, the three immortals had different thoughts. They actually wanted to do big business with the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, but their relationship was still lacking and needed gradual cultivation.

Gu Lisheng frowned slightly, looking at Chen Xun, ”Fishing Emperor, I always keep my word. Have I ever spoken empty words?”

Chen Xun was speechless, his words leaving him momentarily silent.

Gu Lisheng had followed him all the way, boasting to the heavens, yet as time passed, those boasts turned out to be true!

”Young Master Gu, you should understand that this Dao Ancestor did not mean it that way.”

”Don’t worry.”

A mysterious look flashed in Gu Lisheng’s eyes, and he said no more, knowing Chen Xun was worried about ruining his fortune. But his fortune had long been severed, like a rootless duckweed in the Three Thousand Great Worlds!

He had a way to obtain the longevity elixirs.

Chen Xun’s expression darkened. Although Gu Lisheng was somewhat muddled, he still carried the demeanor of a prince, firm in his words.

He looked at Liu Han and the others, speaking softly, ”Stay on one side of the hall.”

”Yes, Ancestor.” The three finally breathed a sigh of relief, respectfully saluting everyone before heading to the corner.

Chen Xun took a sip of tea, looking ahead, ”I invited you fellow immortals today because I have some doubts in my heart. I hope you won’t hesitate to enlighten me.”

”Please ask, Dao Ancestor.” The three immortals were very composed, knowing the origins of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements well, a grassroots rising from the bottom... with no backing to speak of.

”What are the Ten Tribulations of Immortals?” Chen Xun didn’t beat around the bush, ”I have no immortal legacy, and now the Five Elements immortal path is broken. I just want to inquire casually.”

He had no reason to feel embarrassed, having lived for such a long time, his face was thicker than the city walls of Immortal Calamity Town Heaven.

”Dao Ancestor, the Ten Tribulations of Immortals...” The Yu family ancestor pondered for a moment before speaking first, ”The First Tribulation Immortal condenses an immortal body and immortal essence, transforming the power of tribulations into immortal power, holding a faint authority of the heavenly dao, and the level of life is completely elevated, with a lifespan of a hundred thousand years!”

”Indeed,” Chen Xun nodded with furrowed brows.

”To cross the tribulation is simple; the immortal body transforms into spirit, merging the divine soul, immortal essence, and the Three Souls and Seven Spirits into one, returning to simplicity. The Second Tribulation Immortal is where the divine sense reaches, the true body descends.”

The Yu family ancestor squinted slightly, ”There is a natural response to the great tribulation of heaven and earth, assisting the First Tribulation Immortal in refining. If they fail... their realm falls to the half-immortal stage, a considerable price.”

”The Third Tribulation Immortal can avoid misfortune and foresee life and death.”

He paused slightly here. Ji Ruonan was a Third Tribulation Immortal. If it weren’t for suppressing his origin, he couldn’t have been ambushed to death by the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements.

”The Fourth Tribulation Immortal holds innate divine abilities, can sense heaven and earth, traverse space channels with their body, tear through the void with bare hands, and in one step, travel a million miles, like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail.”

”The Fifth Tribulation Immortal can wield immortal artifacts alone, being a great clan, a great force by themselves. Their immortal power is vast and endless, capable of controlling and destroying mountains and rivers over millions of miles, possessing overwhelming combat power and influence!”

The Yu family ancestor finished and glanced at Wangyou, a hint of dread flashing in his eyes.

An immortal sitting at the Taiyi Ghost Gate was not without reason. Being able to cooperate with that Prison Elephant was not something ordinary immortals could do!

One could say that once someone became a Fifth Tribulation Immortal, even the strongest myriad clans of Boundless would have to think twice about moving against them. The destructive immortal power was too terrifying, beyond the question of whether it could be stopped.

It simply couldn’t be stopped!

They dared to pressure the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements now because they feared he might reach that stage in the future, where even the strongest myriad clans of Boundless would live in his shadow, his steps too bright.

The Immortal Spirit List clan movement was turbulent; no one wanted to see this scene.

”Dao Ancestor, as for the Sixth Tribulation Immortal... a world has already been condensed within, rumored to be able to openly challenge the origin of a great world when cultivated to the extreme. Even if they fall by accident, they can be reborn endlessly in this world.”

The Yu family ancestor spoke with some hesitation, not too certain, ”Such pinnacle immortals are too few, even in my Yu family, well... there are none.”

Immortal Burial’s lips curled up, thinking, who would believe that the longevity families have no immortals of this realm? Anyway, when asked, they say there are none, continuing to fool people to the point where ordinary cultivators now believe the longevity families have no immortals!

Chen Xun’s eyes suddenly shone brightly, a realization dawning on him like a divine revelation!

During the Milky Way War, he finally understood the source of the pressure from those old fogies; it was the pressure of the great world within them... no wonder it was so grand and terrifying, like immortals in their prime.

Damn it... Chen Xun inadvertently let out a cold laugh.

Chen Xun then looked at the Yu family ancestor, his expression instantly becoming gentle and warm, smiling, ”Yu, my fellow immortal, what is a Seventh Tribulation Immortal?”

”There is no record.”

”None have appeared yet.”

”I think there aren’t any yet; the Ten Tribulations of Immortals are still being explored, unless there is someone in the Unity stage with the resonance of ten thousand daos.”

...

The three shook their heads, speaking different words at the same time, but expressing the same meaning: the current era of the immortal path was still lacking.

”Ah?” Chen Xun was slightly dazed.

”Hmm?”

Gu Lisheng frowned and stood up, inexplicably uttering, ”There’s no Seventh Tribulation Immortal?! Then what is the True Immortal realm!”
