Eternal Tale

Qi Xin’s heart was clear; with just a glance from his master, he understood the deeper meaning.

Though it seemed like he was being expelled, it was actually a way to protect himself and the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace.

Qi Xin’s brow furrowed slightly, realizing that his master had long seen through his plans, but he felt no regret.

Ji Yan was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike a fatal blow when one was most vulnerable, with ruthless methods, indifferent to gains or losses, and heedless of consequences.

And what Qi Xin lacked now was precisely such a fellow Daoist!

Qi Xin and Ji Yan had a spiritual connection, internally within the Star Pivot, and externally in the Misty realm of the Great World of Taiyi. Over the years, they had clashed numerous times, with victories and defeats on both sides, making it quite intriguing.

However, Qi Xin never regarded Ji Yan as an enemy but rather as a friend he had never met.

Of course, to hold weight in Ji Yan’s heart, he needed an introduction from a powerful figure with enough authority. He didn’t want to waste any time slowly building a relationship; time waits for no one.

”Qi Xin, let’s go.”

Ke Ding spoke calmly, and at that moment, tortoise shell patterns appeared on his face, then he instantly vanished from the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace. Qi Xin responded and set off, carried by Ke Ding’s immortal power.The world spun around him.

Qi Xin’s heart trembled as he found himself standing on a vast, decaying yellow leaf. The surroundings were so hazy that he couldn’t distinguish between sky and earth, only able to see the ethereal silhouette of his master, Ke Ding.

His gaze was deep, and he dared not speak much. In these Three Thousand Great Worlds, wealth and status were not hard to achieve with wisdom, but true power in the immortal path was the key to everything, which was one’s own strength.

Qi Xin had no doubt that with just a light touch, his master could obliterate him to dust; the path he had to walk was still long.

However, what he didn’t know was that although Ke Ding’s silhouette was immortal-like, his face was almost bursting with excitement...

He was truly thrilled inside, finally finding an opportunity to go to the Five Aggregates Sect!

Within it lay countless ancient secrets—the battle of the Milky Way, the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements who wielded the Forbidden Immortal Path, the prince who summoned the ancient heavenly palace, the chubby Daoist who invoked the celestial tomb, and even the Chi Immortal General who once followed the Human Emperor...

All of this set his heart ablaze, like a thousand ants crawling within!

”Hehe, here I come.”

Ke Ding mused inwardly, a gleam of joy in his eyes, as the yellow leaf beneath his feet erupted with magnificent immortal light. Ancient spiritual qi surged through the mountains and rivers, advancing towards the Jade Canopy Forest Sea at incredible speed.

Yet Qi Xin, trailing behind, noticed nothing unusual, not even knowing where he was, as if he had entered the realm of an immortal’s laws, where heaven and earth lost their color.

The two figures completely vanished from the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace, marking a rare outing for Ke Ding’s true form.

...

Jade Canopy Forest Sea, illusion of the East Sea.

Compared to the tension and speculation outside, the atmosphere here was noticeably more lively, with wooden plaques held high.

Many disciples of the Five Aggregates Sect even found a high ground, brought out stools, and started eating their home-grown sunflower seeds, their eyes wide open, as countless big fish leaped in the sea, seemingly just as excited.

Their lively eyes seemed to say, ”Dao Ancestor, fish me!”

In the center of the illusion of the East Sea stood an enormous true dragon nest, towering into the clouds, with a massive lair interwoven like a labyrinth of giant stones and dragon scales.

The entire true dragon nest was a blend of earthy yellow, deep blue, and dark red hues, resembling a colossal natural painting.

Inside and outside the lair, dragon-shaped stone pillars stood tall, each intricately carved with dragon patterns, appearing ancient and mysterious.

The surface was covered with dragon scale-like stones, emitting a faint glow, making the entire dragon nest shimmer with a strange brilliance under the sunlight.

Moreover, the enormous entrance of the true dragon nest opened on the mountainside, forming a spacious dragon cave.

Looking inside from the entrance, one could glimpse deep passages and vast cavities, where the ancient true dragon rested and hatched deep within the lair.

Surrounding the dragon nest was an expansive dragon vein land, with the flow of the dragon vein creating layered energy waves, filling the area around the true dragon nest with a mysterious and powerful dragon aura.

The massive dragon nest seemed to be a fusion of the earth’s energy and the ancient true dragon, exuding an aura of majesty and solemnity.

Though it appeared formidable, Tai Yu still managed to have A Da and A Er retrieve it, leaving Dao Ancestor Chen Xun deeply satisfied and relieved, finally able to live a better life.

And today’s fishing competition was held right under the enormous dragon-shaped stone pillars.

Chen Xun was loudly shouting something, spittle flying, gesturing animatedly, while Mo Fuyang brought out ten Five Elements Puppets to stake out a fishing spot for Chen Xun, claiming it was to corral fish for everyone...

This scene made Liu Han, standing behind, chuckle quietly, as the old master’s steward seemed to have inherited the old master’s shameless nature.

Ji Zhao and Shi Wujun stood behind Chen Xun with righteous expressions, glaring fiercely at the spirit fish leaping from the sea, as if to say, ”You better behave, even the gods and Buddhas must give face to the old master.”

How dare you not?

Chu Zhen’s cold and beautiful face showed a gentle smile; after so many years with Chen Xun, apart from their first meeting, it was rare to see him so pure.

She sat cross-legged far behind the dragon pillar, already beginning to play the zither. Such a grand event couldn’t be without the accompaniment of strings.

The melodious zither music floated over the entire true dragon nest, like a clearing after rain, refreshing and delightful, making Song Heng glance at Chu Zhen, feeling she might not have a long life, with signs of premature death.

But he believed the factory owner would have a way, and he began tinkering with his treasure-seeking fishing rod, his small eyes revealing a sly look, having already chosen a spot, determined to succeed!

Suddenly, Song Heng’s heart skipped a beat, looking around, wondering where Rengar had gone?!

His eyes were filled with vigilance, recalling how Rengar had ruined his plans before, determined to stay far away today.

With that thought, Song Heng grabbed his chair and ran, choosing a spot rich in dragon qi, with bones providing cover, an absolute feng shui treasure spot!

Meanwhile, Little Chi had already circled to the back of the true dragon nest, frantically digging for bait. Brother Xun had learned his lesson this time, using Five Elements Puppets for protection, so he couldn’t sneak anything away.

”Hehe, I’m not good at fishing, but I must make sure that fat guy doesn’t catch anything either.”

Little Chi’s eyes darted around, already adding ingredients to his bait, thinking, ”That fat guy’s cultivation has greatly increased, and he knows a lot now, so I can’t be careless. If anyone wins, it has to be Brother Xun.”

He had already devised a strategy for the fishing event, focused on sabotage!

In front of the dragon nest, Frog Daoist and White Spirit chose a dragon vein spot, lounging in a chair, chewing on Clear Dust Grass, looking old and wise. Fishing?!

Sorry, never lost.
