Eternal Tale

The Frog Daoist spoke softly, clearly not in a good mood today.

But in Yuhua Qian’s eyes, the void around the frog seemed to twist gradually, allowing only the outline of its form to be seen, but not its specific features...

”Peak Master Yuhua Qian of Jiugong Mountain, pays respects to the senior.” Yuhua Qian took a deep breath and bowed with lowered eyes.

”So, it’s Peak Master Yu from Jiugong Mountain.”

The Frog Daoist squinted slightly, sizing up Yuhua Qian, ”You possess the art of divination, a skill that should be used sparingly. I recall a great human clan named Jiang; when their lifespan was nearing its end, few met a good end.”

Yuhua Qian’s eyes trembled, and she quickly stepped aside, respectfully saying, ”Yes, senior.”

”This art involves causality, the great trends of heaven and earth, feng shui, and fortune. Even the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace in this region dares not meddle with the great art of divination. If you wish to live longer, you should focus on improving your realm.”

The Frog Daoist sneered and walked straight ahead, pausing slightly as he passed her, ”You’d better not be from the Jiang family, as heaven will surely take this clan.”

”Senior, huh?” Yuhua Qian’s eyes showed extreme shock and confusion.

”Train well. Your current cultivation level doesn’t befit the position of peak master of the Five Aggregates Sect.”The Frog Daoist spoke with a weathered gaze, not explaining further, and had already moved past Yuhua Qian, ”When you’re qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with this guardian immortal beast, come find me.”

”Yes...” Yuhua Qian murmured, her heart stirred by the few words of the Frog Daoist.

Within the Five Aggregates Sect now, hidden talents abound. Those who could stand before the Dao Ancestor were not simple, and just the threshold for an outer elder was the Tribulation Crossing Venerable realm!

She had also heard about the Sky-Supporting Sect outside the mountain gate, where the sect’s ancestor was barely in the early Tribulation Crossing stage, handling external affairs for the Five Aggregates Sect and overseeing the mundane Kingdom Qian.

Yuhua Qian stood motionless, realizing that with the Dao Ancestor’s return, she needed to familiarize herself with the rules of the Five Aggregates Sect.

After a stick of incense.

A fierce beast cautiously took the Nine Palaces Lotus and delivered it to Yuhua Qian, who thanked the four directions before hurriedly leaving as if escaping.

Outside the spiritual courtyard, the aura of spiritual herbs was so abundant it was almost turning into mist.

White Spirit’s fierce face had vanished, dumbfounded as it looked at the little frog at its feet, the contrast quite stark: ”Daoist... you’re not in a good mood, are you?!”

”Ribbit!” The Frog Daoist sighed deeply, picking up a Clear Dust Grass, its deep gaze looking into the distance, ”Little White Spirit, it seems I’ve offended Chen Xun and Bull Daoist.”

”Chirp!” Upon hearing this, White Spirit let out a shocked cry, incredulously asking, ”Daoist, then why aren’t you dead yet?!”

Bang!

Before the words were finished, a frog’s palm slapped down, and dust billowed instantly, with a few feathers of White Spirit flying in the air, while the surrounding fierce beasts continued their business as usual.

The Frog Daoist was the boss of bosses, the fiercest among fierce beasts.

Rumor had it that even the two ancient beasts guarding the mountain were somewhat intimidated by the Frog Daoist, who held absolute dominance among the fierce and spiritual beasts of the Five Aggregates Sect.

”Little White Spirit, do you know how to speak?!” The Frog Daoist cursed, spitting as if venting, ”Or do you think that with me gone, you’ll inherit the position of guardian immortal beast?!”

White Spirit quickly got up, gathered the floating feathers, and smiled sheepishly, ”Daoist, what’s going on?”

The Frog Daoist snorted coldly, leaping onto White Spirit’s head, and began recounting the events.

White Spirit listened intently, nodding seriously as if it understood, its pupils growing increasingly wise.

After a long while.

”Daoist, you’re clearly being greedy, trying to swallow more than you can handle!” White Spirit suddenly shivered, exclaiming, ”If the Dao Ancestor hadn’t taken us in back then, we’d still be wandering in the Wild Heaven Region.”

”Ah, Little White Spirit, you don’t understand.”

The Frog Daoist’s voice carried a hint of age, revealing a difficult smile, ”The Battle of the Milky Way reminded me of those glorious years, as if I were there...”

”I miss your ancestors, which is why my Dao heart is unstable, and Chen Xun doesn’t want to see me now.”

A trace of regret flashed in its eyes. Clearly, after the Battle of the Milky Way, their relationship could have deepened, a bond forged in the iron blood of comrades, but now it was somewhat awkward due to its own actions.

”Daoist!” White Spirit called softly, ”Then we should have Ancestor Bull speak on our behalf. The Dao Ancestor is not a petty person; his magnanimity encompasses the universe, and he won’t hold a grudge against you.”

”Ribbit...” The Frog Daoist was amused by this, this Little White Spirit, ”It’s not that simple, you can’t just brush it off. Alright, let’s not talk about it for now.”

”When Chen Xun’s anger subsides, I’ll personally visit to apologize. That’s the etiquette of interacting with immortals, and our usual muddling tactics must never be used on immortals.”

The Frog Daoist had come to its senses, realizing that the Dao Ancestor was indeed domineering and unparalleled, boldly declaring before the Human Clan’s Milky Way and the immortals of the Boundless Myriad Clans that he would break into the Boundless Great World and reshape the rules of the grand world!

Even in the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans, he was a peer to the rulers of the myriad clans, and it had overestimated itself, now feeling a bit of regret...

White Spirit nodded, half-understanding, ”Daoist, the Dao Ancestor must have his reasons for doing things. Why go against him? He has never treated us poorly, even sparing us back then.”

”Mm.” The Frog Daoist responded perfunctorily, its gaze suddenly a bit lost.

These words were somewhat similar to what White Spirit had said before, trusting humans unconditionally, only to be betrayed, with its reputation never restored.

She was clearly a great benefactor to the human race... fighting to the death, bleeding and sweating, with outstanding achievements!

During the great war with the ancient immortal clan, she guarded the front line of the heavenly domain gate for seven hundred years, protecting the weak human beings, allowing them to retreat billions of miles!

When White Spirit returned, it was truly on its last breath, with its immortal essence on the verge of extinction.

For this alone, it should have been immortalized in the Boundless Human Clan’s territory, but it was ultimately cast into the ranks of executioners, despised by the myriad clans of future generations!

Thinking of this, the Frog Daoist’s eyes flickered with a cold light. Little White Spirit’s perspective wasn’t wrong from its position.

But from its own position, these words were gravely mistaken, as they didn’t truly understand the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements.

This was also the root of some of their conflicts, as it never fully trusted humans, and different experiences lead to different Dao hearts and personalities.

The Frog Daoist then changed the subject, ”Little White Spirit, this Peak Master Yuhua Qian seems to have an unusual background.”

”Daoist, is there a problem?!” White Spirit’s eyes became incredibly sharp in an instant, ”Then I’ll report to Elder Dao Tian.”

”No problem, just an unusual background.”

The Frog Daoist turned its head to look in the direction she left, speaking softly, ”She carries the aura of the Jiang family. Even if I were reduced to ashes, I could never forget the aura of the Jiang family.”

White Spirit’s pupils contracted, trembling as it spoke, ”Daoist, has an outsider infiltrated our Five Aggregates Sect?!”
