Eternal Tale

Chen Xun’s eyes trembled violently, even carrying a hint of astonishment.

Back then, he had experienced the boundary war, and the ancestral land of the Boundary Spirit of Filthy Longevity was something even the Boundary-breaking Ship and they had no way to deal with, always breaking through the ground.

Even at the last moment, he never saw the true appearance of the ancestral land of the Boundary Spirit. After reaching the Mengmu Sea Region, he couldn’t find a way back. His cultivation level was too low, and in just a mere hundred years, the boundary was destroyed by thunderous means!

After he sacrificed his path and suppressed the essence of countless small boundaries, at that moment of sensing, there was no trace of the ancestral land of the Boundary Spirit on the battlefields of other small boundaries...

Chen Xun had known for a long time that in their small boundary, the number and level of Filthy Longevity were astonishing, beyond what any cultivator could break, and no one could open the heavens.

”There are filthy things here.”

Chen Xun’s gaze was solemn as a gray ancient book slowly appeared in his hand. He murmured, ”Senior Brother Ji, perhaps you are truly of the Human Emperor’s lineage...”

His eyes dimmed a bit. In this era, even the bloodline of the Human Emperor held no special significance, blending into the crowd. Perhaps, the human race never had anything special, and so did the descendants of the Human Emperor.

Chen Xun was lost in thought for a long time, gently wiping the specks of dust off the ancient book, not missing a single corner.

As he wiped, a peaceful smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes no longer held pain, loss, or any other low spirits. He had come to terms with it.”Senior Brother Ji, if the boundary’s mountains and rivers can be revived, I will properly repair your tombstone. I will always carry this ancient book with me.”

Chen Xun’s expression was gentle, as if a ray of light constantly shone on his face. ”From their actions, it seems they have tacitly agreed to this. After so many years in the grand world, encountering countless beings, only Brother Mo can compare to you, Senior Brother.”

”These years, Bull and I have been doing quite well. I’m sure you can see it from the heavens. We’ve come a long way on the path of immortality, so there’s no need to worry about us.”

Chen Xun’s smile became much more relaxed. ”The matter of resurrection is just a thought. Rest assured, Senior Brother, your junior no longer clings to appearances. Regardless of the outcome, I will continue to move forward slowly.”

”Now, the disciples of the Five Aggregates Sect are united and loving, and nothing like what happened to you has occurred. They have been through so much and understand the difficulty of the present.”

”The difficulties of the boundary, though regrettable, are now seen by your junior as a form of tempering and a legacy of the sect. My mind is clear, and you can rest well in the heavens. Bull and I will also be fine.”

”Heh, in front of Senior Brother, it’s still hard to maintain the demeanor of an immortal. I can’t say anything profound; my knowledge is still too shallow.”

Chen Xun’s smile was clear and pure, and his demeanor became quite simple. ”Now, I will spend a quiet time in the Five Aggregates Sect, planting seeds, tending to the fields of spiritual herbs, and watching the disciples duel...”

Before he finished speaking, a gentle breeze suddenly swept through the hall, rustling the pages of the ancient book, each page whispering softly, causing ripples in Chen Xun’s heart.

He paused slightly, his eyes shining brightly, with a faint smile, he softly said, ”Alright.”

Since Black Bull entered, the door of the hall had long been open, and at this moment, brilliant rays of light poured down from the sky, penetrating the clouds, breaking the gloom of heavenly wrath.

The clouds on the horizon outside seemed like a painted scroll, with distinct layers of color interwoven, and the gentle breeze from the sky brushed over every corner, making the whole world seem to quiet down.

Inside the hall, Chen Xun’s smile deepened, and he gently pressed a hand on the pages of the ancient book moved by the breeze.

His gaze slowly turned towards the outside of the hall, still listening to Black Bull’s incessant mooing in the corner, yet it was a tranquility and freedom he hadn’t felt in a long time.

It seems that the ancient humans of Boundless had long noticed him, even earlier than Ye Qingyou of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, and they might have known for a long time that this ancient book was in his possession.

The thunderous means that destroyed the ancestral domain of the Human Emperor seemed like a joint effort of the Ji family and the Shi Rong Immortal, making it so that even the strongest myriad clans of Boundless couldn’t see anything strange, logical and reasonable.

Reaching the point of the Milky Way battle, he had always been a pawn being used, but their compensation for him might just be a lifeless boundary’s mountains and rivers.

Behind the human race, there might be a shocking trump card, large enough to abandon him, to abandon the prodigies of this era.

What they truly wanted to do, Chen Xun couldn’t guess, nor did he care. What needed to be repaid, he had repaid, whether it was the physical body or the immortal essence...

His relationship with the human race was over, and he wasn’t on the Chaos Immortal Spirit List, unable to affect the human race’s fate, naturally, the human race’s fate couldn’t affect him. The greater good, he never cared about.

Chen Xun’s eyes never showed any disappointment, always quite clear-headed, having long passed the years of being disillusioned with the world. Now, living well was enough.

His mindset had always been simple, not fond of scheming, not liking to calculate gains and losses beyond spirit stones.

But in the grand world, one is not in control of oneself, and the Three Thousand Great Worlds never revolved around him.

Chen Xun shook his head with a smile, sitting up straight, his gaze deepening a bit, ”Third sister, fourth brother, without the protection of eldest and second brother, go and see this grand world well.”

”When your eldest brother stands up completely, the Three Thousand Great Worlds will yield ten measures of land, and our family will surely occupy three!”

His spirited voice faintly echoed throughout the hall, even startling Black Bull. Why did eldest brother suddenly seem so full of fighting spirit? Was he going to find trouble with someone?!

Liu Han and the others were also shocked, not understanding, but deeply moved.

Three days later.

The doors of the Five Aggregates Immortal Platform’s hall were completely closed, and the three peak masters left with great respect, taking with them a booklet filled with dense writing.

Meanwhile, Chen Xun and Black Bull arrived at the mountain gate.

The terrain here was quite open, allowing a view of the earth below.

Even the massive valley ’borrowed’ from the Slaying Immortal Ancient Domain was fully visible, with spiritual qi abundant in all directions, and many ordinary people with spiritual roots were born in the mortal world.

Chen Xun only glanced before withdrawing his gaze, feeling somewhat speechless at the two ancient immortal beasts squatting on either side of the mountain gate. Were they here to ward off evil?

Even though their bodies had shrunk considerably, they were still hundreds of feet tall, and he and Black Bull were like ants in their eyes.

Especially the unintentional aura of the wilderness they emitted, quite fierce, making Chen Xun’s mind somewhat uncomfortable, but fortunately, Black Bull was there to support him, helping to dispel it.

Tai Yu followed respectfully by his side, not daring to speak casually.

But since he broke through to the Tribulation Crossing stage, his appearance and demeanor had become increasingly noble, clearly a big figure, not to be trifled with.

However, with the appearance of the ancient immortal clan, indeed no cultivator dared to have any designs.

It was the only race that even evil cultivators dared not kill wantonly, a particularly unique existence in various special heavenly domains.

But Tai Yu didn’t seem too curious about his own background, having once said, regardless of the reason, they abandoned me, and I don’t hate them, but I won’t seek them out either, it doesn’t matter anymore.

In such personal matters, Chen Xun naturally respected his thoughts, never offering any advice.
