Three years later, at Spirit Realm Manor.
Within the cave abode, the qi of the Five Elents was vast and deep, shimring with divine light. It had even condensed into a mist of the Five Elents swirling within. Two figures slowly erged from the cave abode, one man and one bull.
Their auras were refined and powerful. As they stepped out of the cave abode and onto the land of Spirit Realm Manor, the surrounding qi of the Five Elents seed to move for them, converging and forming a vast surge of mana.
The entire manor seed to be bathed in the power of the Five Elents, vibrant and full of life, like a scene from a celestial realm.
Chen Xun looked up at the sky, exuding an imposing aura, like a supre being standing proudly between heaven and earth.
His eyes held an indescribable depth and majesty. On his back was a massive axe, no longer purely black, but interwoven with black and white, resembling the fusion of yin and yang.
The alternating black and white emitted a powerful and mysterious aura. The Mountain-axing axe had completely transford under the blessings of the celestial realm, unable to be nurtured by the primordial spirit.
The three Mountain-axing axes corresponded precisely to his three great principles: life and death, yin and yang, and the Five Elents. The three axes combined into one, forming the Yin-Yang Life and Death Five Elents Mountain-axing Axe!
This axe could not be placed in a storage ring, as it was a world apart from the outside world, unable to balance, potentially causing the storage ring's space to collapse.
Chen Xun's gaze lowered slightly, and the Mountain-axing axe on his back began to dim, appearing ordinary and unremarkable, making it unimaginable that this object was actually a dao artifact.
The axe had beco thoroughly connected to his great principles, becoming a part of his body, no longer a magical artifact that could be casually discarded or reforged.
"Moo~"
Black Bull stood beside him, letting out a soft moo. Its body was covered in a thick layer of black fur, and its eyes shone with a sharp light, no longer weary but filled with a powerful presence.
Beside it, a formation disk of rules faintly appeared, operating mysteriously around it. A large black coffin was now faintly visible, its surface engraved with the laws of heaven and earth, giving it a natural and complete feel like the surface of the Babel Tower.
Inside, a spirit coffin space had begun to form, filled with the terrifying dao of death energy, capable of erasing all the power of the great principles, making it a formidable offensive dao artifact.
One man and one bull walked steadily and powerfully, each step sending out an invisible wave of mana, as if able to shake the entire Spirit Realm Manor.
Their ergence had caught the attention of so, who smiled slightly. For Lord Crossing the World, three years of healing was indeed a long ti for his powerful body.
As they left, the qi of the Five Elents within the cave abode returned to calm, as if the previous scene had been nothing but a beautiful dream.
For the past three years, they had continued to invest their longevity points into the World Soul.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Ji Yan also erged from the cave abode. Naturally, he needed to cultivate in seclusion as well, but he had returned half a year ago. Hearing that Chen Xun was still in seclusion, he did not disturb him.
By a river.
Chen Xun and Ji Yan were fishing together, each with a small table beside them, one holding a cup of health tea, the other a pot of fragrant tea.
This ti, Black Bull did not join in, lying behind them, savoring the taste of the manor's spiritual herbs, occasionally leisurely chasing a spirit bird, but never leaving Chen Xun's sight.
At this mont, Ji Yan's expression was very calm, his gaze fixed on the clear river, and he spoke softly, "Crossing the World, the plan has not encountered any mishaps for now, but I still don't trust everyone."
"Mm."
"However, being cultivators, they naturally understand the significance behind these longevity fruits."
Ji Yan spoke calmly, his eyes filled with endless tranquility, "They are unaware of each other, each believing you gave the fruits to them alone, and have never ntioned it."
"Mm."
Chen Xun nodded with a smile, "Those who have survived the Immortal Prison, aside from special races like Immortal Absolute, naturally understand this principle and won't act irrationally."
"Crossing the World, do you really trust them so much?"
"For a thousand years in the Immortal Prison, they were taken in by Bull and , and I rember every being. Leaving the Immortal Prison and their own clans to follow us to the ngmu Sea Region was no easy feat."
Chen Xun's gaze grew deep, speaking softly, "My trust in them is like my trust in you, though I respect your wishes more."
"I see." Ji Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and changed the subject, "Crossing the World, sotis being too sincere with people isn't a good thing, like Miss Nangong."
"Hehe, not at all, I'm different from Third Sister."
Chen Xun chuckled lightly, lifting his rod, "Though it seems like there are countless beings, compared to the myriad clans of the Immortal Prison and the entire ngmu Sea Region, their numbers are but a drop in the ocean."
"I have always believed in fate. Even if they choose to leave in the future, I will not stop them. It simply ans our fate has ended."
"Ji Yan, I dislike scheming. To , they are just a group of little brothers, following far from ho. If I have a al, I'll share half with them, never stingy."
Chen Xun spoke with a lighthearted tone, taking a sip of health tea, "I never worry about gains and losses. If they repay kindness with enmity, it ans I misjudged them. But if they dare to do so, I have prepared my ans of survival."
"Hehe." Ji Yan smiled faintly. They had discussed this before, and the plan for the Babel Tower journey was not made on a whim.
Perhaps it was this nature of Crossing the World that was the fundantal reason Ji Yan was willing to follow him, never interfering or dictating, but providing endless support from behind, striving for a shared grand vision.
"Ji Yan, let's talk about sothing else. What have you been up to these past two years?"
Chen Xun's words instantly lightened the atmosphere, making it very relaxed, "There are quite a few major forces in Heaven's Capital, and I've heard many want to recruit you."
"Just so empty fa. In terms of intelligence, there are countless in the grand world better than , and the sa goes for talent in the immortal path."
Ji Yan began to lift his rod slightly, watching the small fish swim away, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been captured and sent to the Immortal Prison. The recruitnt from major forces is just a few peers."
"Oh?"
"But their vision is too narrow, not worth my attention. Over these two years, I've used this empty fa to navigate various banquets and et young mbers of major clans."
Ji Yan's eyes beca extrely long and narrow, his voice low, "But the garbage recycling plant might find it difficult to operate in Xuanwei Heaven. The transactions there are all about boundary mineral veins and major regional mineral veins."
"Given our current size and strength, our influence is negligible to others. Their businesses cover various heavenly domains, including celestial puppets and large-scale war artifacts."
"For us so-called Babel List talents to be noticed... it seems they just want to recruit so strong individuals."
Ji Yan took a deep breath, feeling a bit overwheld by the youthfulness, "To catch up with these transcendent forces, the garbage recycling plant would need at least ten thousand years to reach their level."
Chen Xun frowned, surprised to see such an expression on Ji Yan's face, "Even the Xuanwei Celestial Palace?"
"Indeed, over the past two years, I've learned that the Celestial Palace, though seemingly perched on the clouds, has industries and power far beyond ordinary imagination, occupying nurous small boundaries."
Ji Yan nodded solemnly, having only begun to understand the Celestial Palace in recent years, "Even the path of celestial puppets originated from the Celestial Palace, and it is undoubtedly a massive force with the most Heavenly Sovereigns, and with its relationship with the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, its influence in the grand world is unparalleled."
Damn...
Chen Xun cursed inwardly, having thought the Celestial Palace was detached from worldly affairs, cultivating immortality in seclusion, only to find out they were secretly running massive immortal industries.
