Eternal Tale

”Back then, I was planning to go to the Wild Heaven Region after hearing about the emergence of an Ancient Immortal.”

”How many years ago was that... So, what happened?”

”It seems I didn’t make it in time. The battlefield beyond the boundary is vast and endless, so getting lost was only natural.”

”...Hmm.” Ling Kongshen nodded calmly, his brows furrowing slightly. How did you hear about this without any status on the battlefield beyond the boundary?

However, he didn’t ask further, only casting a sidelong glance at the wooden medicine case before looking elsewhere.

Tian Yun continued earnestly, his voice suddenly rising, ”Later, I heard about the emergence of the Immortal Court Prince, who was heading to the Milky Way for a battle. As a disciple of our national religion, it was only right for me to bravely set off for the Milky Way!”

”...Hmm, it seems you got lost again and missed it.”

”Wise old general!” Tian Yun took a deep breath, naturally praising him.

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, a fist as large as an ancient mountain came crashing down, and Tian Yun let out a miserable wail, ”Ah!!!”Another splash of crimson blood scattered in the air.

Ling Jun coughed lightly and looked around, saying, ”Everyone, turn around and stay alert. Once the Nine Heavens envoy arrives, we’ll head to the Jade Bamboo Range.”

”Yes.” The surrounding experts responded, no longer looking towards the old general’s direction.

At the bow of the ship.

By now, Tian Yun’s face was swollen beyond recognition, on the verge of tears.

But in his heart and eyes, there was no trace of resentment. It was just a minor lethal injury, and he had long prepared a grave, waiting to be buried. He couldn’t blame the old general for this!

Ling Kongshen almost cursed out loud, nearly driven mad by Tian Yun, ”You don’t seem to do anything right, do you? Is the legendary Fu Shi national religion filled with people like you? It would have perished long ago!”

”Ugh...” Tian Yun’s voice changed from the beating, speaking in a muffled tone, ”Rest assured, old general, the Fu Shi Sect still exists. I even have a mountain chicken distributed by the sect in my cave abode, a few acres of spiritual fields, and...”

”Haha.” Ling Kongshen chuckled, interrupting Tian Yun, ”I see, that’s good then.”

Tian Yun also managed a smile, though it looked somewhat comical and strange on his swollen face.

”Tian Yun, my boy.”

”Old general...”

”Do you know that the Immortal Court Prince assisted the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, who is also the patriarch of the Five Aggregates Sect?”

Ling Kongshen looked deeply at Tian Yun, ”It seems I wasn’t wrong to bring you here. The battlefield beyond the boundary is now opening up the future immortal realm domain, and you might never be able to leave.”

”...I didn’t know.” Tian Yun shook his head, ”Back then, I saw countless cultivators from myriad clans as if they had seen something, but all I saw was chaos, unable to comprehend.”

Yet, Ling Kongshen was not surprised by this, already convinced that Tian Yun was a disciple of the Fu Shi national religion, a so-called forsaken force.

However, being able to keep Tian Yun by his side, with even the Heavenly Melody Ancestor’s tacit approval, and Tian Yun’s journey to the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom, naturally related to another bloodline identity and significant karma—

Tian Yun, Heavenly Melody!

He wasn’t a creature of this era but a direct descendant of the founding Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom!

In the Great World of Taiyi, within the Xuanwei Heaven domain, the founding Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom continued the legacy of the Ancient City of True Spirits...

This place was once guarded by the Immortal King Burial!

And with these connections, the answer was clear: the founding Immortal Emperor of the ancient immortal kingdom—Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom—was naturally a remnant minister of the Taiyi Ancient Immortal Court!

Why seal a direct descendant with the divine soul of a forbidden land? Naturally, it was guided by the Fu Shi national religion, the true purpose unknown to anyone!

This matter was known only to him and the Heavenly Melody Ancestor, not even the current Heavenly Melody Immortal Emperor was informed.

But clearly, Tian Yun back then knew nothing of the grand world of immortals, looking like someone who had just entered the world. The Fu Shi national religion had performed a defiant act, sealing a newborn mortal infant into a divine soul.

However, this naturally led to some irreversible issues, such as vague memories of that era during slumber, the inability to develop divine sense, and so on...

Ling Kongshen dared not delve further, personally inquiring. The simultaneous emergence of the prince and the Fu Shi national religion in this era was not a good omen.

It signified the impending resurgence of the severed grand immortal history in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, with an unstoppable tidal wave sweeping across the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds!

The Great World of Taihuang, the chaos of the Shi Rong Immortal, the revival of the ancient demon court...!

The shocking great demons from various great worlds had already begun converging on the Great World of Taihuang, with the ancient immortal court and ancient demon court coexisting, the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements offering sacrifices to myriad boundary domains, releasing countless boundary creatures of the human race...

The battlefield beyond the boundary erupted into a world-shattering war to annihilate the chaotic clan, with the strongest myriad clans of Boundless participating, the tide of the era was overwhelming!

To the ordinary creatures, the Three Thousand Great Worlds seemed to have settled into peace after the chaos, with the immortal path flourishing.

But for the countless high-ranking Heavenly Lords, it was a daily source of anxiety!

No one dared to imagine the extent of the undercurrents beneath the calm of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the chaos of the Shi Rong Immortal, the battle of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements at the Milky Way, unearthing countless dormant ancient forces.

Even the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan couldn’t resist the temptation, officially stepping onto the grand stage of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, forcing the Immortal Spirit Clan to return their clan fortune.

Thinking of this, even the well-experienced Ling Kongshen couldn’t help but furrow his white brows, as even the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom couldn’t analyze the situation of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, foreseeing the situation of the Great World of Taiyi was already commendable.

”Hehe, it’s really unclear who the trendsetter of this grand era is...”

Ling Kongshen murmured with a smile, his body slowly turning, his sharp gaze seemingly piercing through everything, directly towards the direction of the Five Aggregates Sect.

Tian Yun fell into a daze, lost in thought.

”Five Elements... Dao Ancestor.” Tian Yun silently recited in his heart, ”The Five Elements immortal path, I remember my senior brother saying, is truly the path of world destruction, the authority of the heavens, not to be cultivated by living beings, only to borrow the qi of the Five Elements.”

He couldn’t help but fall into contemplation, his clear eyes showing doubt for the first time in history, could there be a deceiver...

Tian Yun shook his head abruptly, convinced that the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements could not have become immortal through the Five Elements immortal path. His doubtful gaze turned exceptionally firm, gradually returning to clarity, understanding.

As the old and the young had their own thoughts, a steady voice came:

”Fellow Daoists of the Immortal Kingdom, we should leave now, the remnant soul of True Spirit has warned us several times.”

”Alright!”

Ling Jun’s voice spread across the sky, rolling forward, ”Set off!”

Buzz—

The earth-shaking sound began to echo in all directions, the momentum overwhelming, instantly causing a large number of cultivators on the ground to discuss fervently, quite noisy.

But they came and went in a flash, disappearing over the Ancient City of True Spirits in the blink of an eye, leaving the cultivators in the city somewhat unsatisfied, still gazing into the distant sky.

In the city, the Chu family.

The Chu family patriarch laughed heartily, ”The ancestral ceremony cannot be delayed, summon the Chu family members from outside, and send invitations to all forces in the city, a grand feast for all!”
