Eternal Tale

”The strong are as numerous as raindrops... Can Frog Heavenly Sovereign and Lord White Spirit hold their ground?”

”Don’t worry, Senior Qi Ming has already gone to stabilize the situation. He is the spirit of the signal and will definitely stand with us.”

”I heard this grand event will be recorded in the sect’s history. If we lose...”

”We’ll be disgraced for eternity, how could we ever hold our heads high in the sect?!”

...

The spirit beasts and fierce beasts exchanged low growls, their expressions and exaggerated demeanor showing even more tension than those attending the grand event, creating a strong sense of immersion.

On the small islands scattered across the eastern starry sky, many inner disciples stood, secretly swallowing their saliva.

”These figures have all participated in the Milky Way battle, legendary figures who have fought against immortals.”

The first to speak was Ji Mo, who took a deep breath. ”Senior Sister, with Ancestor Bull absent, how can Ancestor have a ten percent chance of winning? I didn’t expect Ancestor to take such a risky move.”

Hearing this, the women and men beside him nodded in agreement with solemn expressions. In this world of cultivating immortality, where the weak are prey to the strong, it’s best not to gamble on anything without absolute certainty, as one only has one life.For Ancestor, this fishing event is as important as life itself, equating to his great reputation.

Rumble...

At this moment, the celestial phenomena erupted over the Jade Bamboo Range, the earth veins trembled, and green smoke curled up, presenting an auspicious scene that alarmed many major forces and clans in the Jade Canopy Forest Sea.

”The Five Aggregates Sect has emerged, hurry and investigate!” An ancient existence issued the order, and the powerful under their command moved, not letting any movement of the Five Aggregates Sect go unnoticed.

”It must be the grand competition of the sect. It seems the geniuses of this sect are finally going to reveal themselves.” An ancestor of an immortal sect stood on a mountain cliff, murmuring with deep eyes, ”There’s even a sign of purple qi coming from the east... Truly worthy of that Dao Ancestor’s immortal sect.”

In the vast blue sea of this domain.

The Sea Spirit Heavenly Sovereign raised his head, ”Dao Brother, the Five Aggregates Sect seems to be preparing for a grand event. Why don’t we send a valuable gift and go take a look?”

”Agreed, with the Five Aggregates Sect preparing so grandly, they surely won’t refuse us.” A massive dragon head slowly emerged from beneath the sea, its sharp gaze seemingly able to pierce through all illusions.

In a certain void boundary, a light laugh echoed.

”Sui Sui, shall we go take a look? Such phenomena suggest a monstrous talent of the immortal path is about to emerge, even the Mountain Protection Array of Ximen, the Array Master, cannot conceal it. I wonder what grand scene lies within.”

”These monstrous talents of the immortal path should be recorded, we can go.”

The young girl smiled kindly, her eyes filled with ancient depth, ”We must see what kind of heaven’s favored offspring the descendants of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements are, such a forbidden immortal path, there are no weaklings.”

”Indeed.”

...

As the auspicious celestial phenomena descended, different from the wrath of the heavens, more and more powerful beings from the Jade Canopy Forest Sea headed towards the Jade Bamboo Range.

Some strong figures came bearing precious gifts, while others merely circled around, not intending to enter, just observing the situation. The scene was grand, causing many scattered cultivators and weaker beings to tremble in their Dao hearts...

The direction of the Jade Bamboo Range is at the northern edge of the Jade Canopy Forest Sea, adjacent to the Hongmeng River, a place not connected to any heavenly domain, forcibly separated by this river for countless billions of miles.

This place is a forbidden domain for living beings, a forbidden zone of the immortal path. Each grand world has such a special heavenly domain, and because its expanding territory originates from this river, it is named the Hongmeng River.

However, there is no need to explore that place, as it is even more void than the Void Land, more chaotic than the chaos boundary, with no opportunities or treasures.

The reason for such certainty is, of course, that throughout the vast ages, some stubborn immortals have attempted to explore it, never to return, leaving only the sign of an immortal’s fall in the heavenly domain, not even a ripple before their demise.

Such events naturally make countless cultivators shudder, only those with nothing better to do would venture there, and Ancestor Chen Xun thought the same, believing curiosity kills the longevity seekers, it’s better to live peacefully.

The Jade Bamboo Range was established here to claim the unowned territory that gradually expanded through the years of evolution, to occupy the land and become a king.

Why don’t the longevity families do the same? Because what you can think of, others have long thought of. Their vast domains today were also claimed in this way...

All are great talents.

But later, their domains were sufficient, occupying more land was meaningless, and would only entangle them in unnecessary karma, so they stopped expanding, not expecting the Five Aggregates Ancestor to follow suit.

Such a layout, intending to turn the Five Aggregates Sect into a longevity immortal sect...

Some old monsters from the longevity families shook their heads with a smile, without bloodline inheritance, a sect’s orthodoxy cannot go far, eventually transforming into a family.

This is why, in the vast Three Thousand Great Worlds, there are no longevity Dao Palaces or longevity immortal sects, only longevity families.

As the many immortal path powerhouses gathered in the Jade Canopy Forest Sea, far beyond this domain, the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace also received the news.

Within an ancient Dao Palace, golden clouds and mist swirled, and within the mist sat a mysterious and noble figure, his immortal aura unrestrainedly spreading in all directions. His closed eyes slowly opened, his pupils encompassing the universe, containing endless wisdom.

In that instant, the Heavenly Secrets Domain, spanning a million miles, seemed to brighten as if it were dawn. All disciples stopped their tasks, respectfully cupping their hands, for this was the majesty of an immortal... worthy of reverence.

And this noble immortal figure was none other than the timid immortal recognized by the Three Thousand Great Worlds, Ke Ding.

A worn-out turtle shell slowly floated before him, and he glanced at it nonchalantly, ”Apart from that banquet, this immortal sect has finally made some moves, it’s finally time to interact.”

Ke Ding’s lips curled into a faint smile, looking outside the palace, he softly called, ”Qi Xin.”

”Master Ancestor.” A respectful male voice came from outside the palace, his appearance and bone structure unmistakably of the Yin Ming Spirit Clan, the race that created the Bright Heart and Heavenly Wisdom roots, the strongest of the myriad clans in the grand world, ranked tenth.

He wore an ancient and elegant Dao robe, its neckline wide and simple, hanging down to his chest.

Even when facing an immortal, his demeanor was as calm as a mountain, but his eyes were bright and full of spirit.

”You will accompany me to the Five Aggregates Sect,” Ke Ding said calmly, ”Having cultivated immortality for over five thousand years in Dongdu Mountain, it’s time to go out and see the world. Qi Xin, are you willing?”

”I humbly accept Master Ancestor’s will,” Qi Xin replied without arrogance or impatience, smiling warmly, then suddenly said, ”Master Ancestor, I heard that Ji Yan and the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements are close friends.”

Ke Ding nodded with great poise, his current demeanor vastly different from when he was outside.

”I wish to ask the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements to introduce me to the leader of the Ji Yan Alliance,” Qi Xin said sincerely, bowing to Ke Ding after speaking.

”Why?” Ke Ding’s eyes were as calm as a still lake, slowly looking at Qi Xin, ”The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance is not a good place, it may be caught in a whirlpool in the future.”

Among this generation of disciples in the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace, Ke Ding favored Qi Xin the most, otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken only him to the Five Aggregates Sect.

But the strangest thing was that Qi Xin was not some monstrous talent of the immortal path, nor was he on the Chaos Immortal Spirit List, and his immortal path realm hadn’t even reached Tribulation Crossing, he was merely an ordinary Great Ascension Venerable.

However, if one knew this person’s experiences, everything would make sense.
