Eternal Tale

As Qionghua Shuiyu was lost in thought, Chen Xun walked around the ancient treasures with his hands behind his back and said with an air of age, ”Song Heng, in the path of tomb fortune, you still fall short of this Dao Ancestor by three points.”

”......” Song Heng was dumbfounded, speechless inside. He remembered that the factory owner had an eye technique called the Five Elements Immortal Eyes, which might have allowed him to see something.

But when it came to this tomb fortune immortal path, the factory owner really wasn’t qualified. Song Heng didn’t expose Chen Xun, knowing that the latter was a dignified person who had lost face on Trash Island and had spent thousands of years trying to regain it.

”Brother Song, what use are these strands of fortune?” Chen Xun examined them closely, ”These ancient treasures seem to be their carriers. If they are destroyed, they might be gone.”

”They’re for protecting the house...”

”Little Chi, dig up that small grave on the back hill and send him to immortality.”

”Roar~~ No problem, Brother Xun!”

”Hey! Hey! Factory owner, it’s a misunderstanding, I misspoke!”

Song Heng’s pupils suddenly contracted, knowing that this Rengar knew some transcendence spells, ”Brother Chi, this is no joking matter.”

Chen Xun chuckled softly and sat on the ground, ”Brother Song, speak quickly.”The baby boy behind him had bright eyes, gently lying on Chen Xun’s back, looking very peaceful, neither noisy nor restless.

Song Heng sighed lightly, and in his hand appeared the Treasure-Seeking Compass, which even Black Bull couldn’t fathom back then: ”A strand looking at the mountain, a strand looking at the water, a strand looking at fate. The more carriers of fortune, the more the surrounding mountains and waters transform into spirit, becoming a place of blessing.”

”...Then it seems to have little effect on cultivators. The region of our Five Aggregates Sect is already a spirit mountain and spirit water,” Chen Xun realized, not disappointed, ”But it makes sense.”

He sat on the ground, lost in thought. If these ancient treasures’ fortune were truly useful to cultivators, they would have been monopolized by the great clans, and their descendants would all be children of fortune.

This completely doesn’t align with the rules of the world’s operation.

”The factory owner is mistaken,” Song Heng spoke mysteriously, leaving a suspense, ”If one can collect a large number of ancient treasures and absorb their power of time and fortune, spirit mountains and spirit waters can be elevated to true immortal mountains and waters.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Lisheng’s heart trembled, his brows becoming a bit more solemn, and he didn’t interrupt. The power of time and fortune, he vaguely remembered, was a path of immortality...

Chen Xun became instantly interested upon hearing this, ”Not bad, not bad. It seems those cultivators in the Star Pivot who spent a fortune collecting these items are not fools. They indeed have great use.”

Song Heng nodded with an air of age, responding. In this era of great immortal paths, who knows how many ancient treasures from immortal tombs can be unearthed, even fragments of the Taiyi Immortal Court’s wreckage can be dug up, worth a fortune.

However, he also had his own goals. After advancing to the Great Ascension stage, the power of the world’s rules would be upon him. The tomb fortune immortal path couldn’t touch the spiritual qi immortal path, requiring constant tomb exploration to trace back... immortal history, to increase strength.

Chen Xun didn’t take much from them, just one of the treasures, knowing that these ancient treasures took them five hundred years to acquire, more arduous than his own mining days.

But now, seeing their deepened camaraderie, Chen Xun couldn’t help but glance at Little Chi, who was fiddling with his mane, a barely noticeable trace of comfort in his eyes.

He trusted these people immensely, believing they could take good care of Little Chi.

”Little Chi,” Chen Xun called casually, already standing up.

”Brother Xun?” Little Chi looked up, gently placing his paw on the ground.

”I’ll take you to see something I’ve treasured.”

Chen Xun’s words carried a trace of excitement, ”The only one in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, a gift from the Heavenly Melody Kingdom.”

His words piqued the interest of the few, knowing that a national gift from the ancient immortal kingdom was no ordinary item. Even Gu Lisheng’s eyes flickered with interest.

Chen Xun led the way, crossing hundreds of grand formations set by Black Bull, dozens of great peaks and ravines, finally arriving at the shipyard built by the Chen family, where the Domain Crossing Space Boat—Zun Wu—was quietly docked.

Seeing it, they all had a look of shock in their eyes, especially Qionghua Shuiyu, who had a keen interest in Domain Crossing Space Boats.

”Chen Xun... this boat’s frame is made from the treasure bones of Void Ancient Beasts that carry the power of space, possibly even from a Void Great Venerable!”

Qionghua Shuiyu couldn’t help but exclaim softly. Such a Linglong ancient artifact, every inch crafted with the heart’s blood of a Great Venerable, was something even the Nine Dragons Mystic Gate couldn’t possess.

Song Heng swallowed secretly, the boat’s frame was grand and majestic, exuding immortal aura. Even if it were casually docked outside, who would dare to touch it...

Gu Lisheng immediately took a liking to it, watching intently.

Little Chi gasped, thinking if he had such a treasure, they could have escaped anywhere in the Vast Sea Law Domain back then!

”Brother Xun, how many... how many spirit stones does this cost?” Little Chi’s voice trembled, never having seen such a refined magical artifact, even fearing that a deep breath might damage its edges.

”Little Chi, this item probably requires supreme-grade spirit stones to purchase, and even then, it’s priceless.”

Qionghua Shuiyu’s pupils widened slightly, gaining new insight, her heart unable to calm for a long time. The crafting of this Domain Crossing Space Boat might have exhausted the lifespan of a generation of Great Ascension Venerables.

However, its life-saving power was unparalleled, and even during a tribulation, seeing this item would deter reckless actions, as the implications were too great for ordinary cultivators to possess.

Chen Xun watched their expressions of amazement, listening to the endless words of praise, his mouth curling into a subtle smile, his mood soaring.

How could he let his treasured possession gather dust, it was meant to be exhibited to his own people.

Little Chi almost fainted when he heard ”supreme-grade spirit stones,” his legs nearly going stiff, hairs standing on end... He had ascended to the Great Ascension stage with the power of ten thousand paths, but now it seemed he was still a wild boar unable to eat fine grain.

”Let’s go, I’ll take you for a spin,” Chen Xun waved his hand grandly, full of spirit, ”Little Chi, since your Brother Bull isn’t here, sit next to me, and I’ll show you the magnificent scenery of my Jade Bamboo Range.”

”It’s rare for the factory owner to be so generous. Gu Chuiniu, Shuiyu, get on,” Song Heng had long been envious, knowing his refining skills were outdated, determined to acquire something like this in the future.

”Roar~~” Little Chi hesitated, ”Brother Xun, activating this magical artifact requires spirit stones, doesn’t it? It’s a bit wasteful...”

”Roar...!”

Before he could finish, Chen Xun grabbed him by the scruff and tossed him into Zun Wu, which contained a second-grade spirit vein, dozens of second-grade cave abodes, spiritual earth, fields of spiritual herbs, and more.

It was a super mobile cave abode, capable of directly traversing the void and crossing space, with spirit stones fully loaded, its extreme speed even faster than lightning!

Moreover, he could see the surrounding scenery in real-time without any blind spots, and even automatically detect powerful creatures nearby, thanks to the resonance with the Chaotic Path, more powerful than divine sense.

Little Chi swallowed hard, stepping into Zun Wu felt like stepping onto clouds, an unreal sensation, its interior filled with luxurious immortal artifacts...

Chen Xun sat cross-legged at the forefront of the control formation, laughing loudly, ”Everyone, prepare to witness what it means to break through the void with extreme speed, and behold the vast scenery of my Jade Bamboo Range!”

”Roar... Brother Xun, bring it on!” Little Chi took out a tattered quilt, covering himself with a roar, leaving only a lion’s head exposed.

”Factory owner, I have long been ready,” Song Heng marveled, his long-calm heart stirred by this item.

”Fishing Emperor, this boat is impressive. If you gift it to this young master, I would certainly accept it,” Gu Lisheng gave Zun Wu a high evaluation.

”Hehe,” Qionghua Shuiyu covered her mouth with a light laugh, appearing demure and graceful.

Buzz!

Chen Xun’s hair danced wildly as he spent a fortune, placing top-grade spirit stones into the formation’s slots, two fingers pressed together before his chest, shouting, ”Enlightenment Formation, imprint divine sense, everyone, take off!!!”

Little Chi and the others nodded heavily, already seated and meditating, eagerly looking at the distant cliff.

However...

Chen Xun’s face turned red, Zun Wu merely trembled slightly and then stopped, not even leaving the ground.

He looked exceptionally embarrassed, oh no... Brother Bull wasn’t here, his cultivation couldn’t activate the formation, damn it, damn!

Chen Xun coughed lightly, smiling softly, ”Everyone, this Domain Crossing Space Boat has some issues due to age and disrepair. It might need the Chen family to fix this magical artifact. You all know, such a precision operation comparable to a Dao artifact, has many old problems.”
