Eternal Tale Chapter 609: Resolute and solitary back

Nangong Heling looked up excitedly and waved, "Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, you're here to pick up!"

Chen Xun glanced at Little Crane and nodded with a smile, not saying a word. Two thousand years of cultivation at the academy should be coming to an end.

On the ground.

Feng Jinyu's expression was complex as he silently cupped his hands to the side. The path of immortality is long and parting is common. His mindset still had a long way to go, and he couldn't yet take it lightly.

He sighed silently in his heart, and that complex expression gradually turned into a smile, carrying blessings for his friend's farewell.

Nangong Heling looked at Feng Jinyu and said softly, "Jinyu, I'm leaving. Thank you for taking care of all these years."

"Heling, I will cultivate diligently." Feng Jinyu suddenly said sothing seemingly unrelated. He cupped his hands towards Nangong Heling, "Safe travels to you all. I hope we et again in the next two thousand years."

"Hehe, alright." Nangong Heling smiled, lightly tapping the ground, her dress fluttering in the rain of flowers. She called out, "Jinyu, take care of yourself too."

Feng Jinyu's smile deepened as he watched the figure gradually recede into the sky, cupping his hands once more.

In the sky, Chen Xun took a deep look at the figure in green on the ground. At the early stage of Void Refinent, the road ahead was still long. He hoped to see him again in the future; the academy was not much in this world of immortals.

Little Crane had already stepped onto the small boat, and her smile inadvertently faded, a trace of lancholy finally appearing in her eyes. She had once looked forward to leaving the academy, but now that the day had co, she couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

She let down all her defenses, revealing her true feelings at this mont. Her seemingly carefree deanor was just a facade.

"Moo~" Black Bull nudged her with a silly grin.

"Second brother~"

"Sister Crane, look at the magical artifacts my two brothers gave . They've all been blessed!"

Little Chi hurried over, starting to show off a tattered quilt and an ordinary fish bucket, shouting loudly, "They're absolute treasures. Hehe, Sister Crane, your little brother has struck it rich!"

Little Crane looked at them and suddenly burst into laughter, the gloom instantly dissipating. Fourth brother was truly a treasure at tis, his mindset much more optimistic than eldest brother's. It was good to have them around.

The three figures on the small boat began chatting, and Little Crane's light laughter continued as she tidied up so stains on the quilt.

On the other side, Wild Gold and his four companions stood before Chen Xun, bowing their heads, "My lord."

"You five have worked hard protecting my third sister all these years."

Chen Xun cupped his hands in response, his words incredibly sincere. He took out five Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruits from his storage ring, "This longevity fruit can extend life by three thousand years for each person. It's a treasure of our boundary, though not many are left, but you deserve it."

"My lord?!"

The five were shocked, their eyes filled with fear. Wild Gold stepped forward and said, "We are already your people. Miss has given us top-grade spirit stones for cultivation over the years. If we accept this, we would feel unworthy!"

Wild Earth, with a complexion like yellow earth, also stepped forward and spoke solemnly, "Just one of these longevity fruits is enough to buy our lives. My lord, we have always been the protectors given to Miss Nangong by Lord Shi."

The other three nodded silently. They were Unity cultivator death warriors, limited by their aptitude, with no hope for the future. Such precious items were better given to those who could make better use of them.

"When our family was weak, you stayed. Now, I will not abandon you. How many two thousand years can a Unity cultivator have, especially in such a monotonous duty?"

Chen Xun's expression was somber as he spoke each word, "No matter what, you are the most important people in my third sister's life. You should be supported by , Chen Xun. No more words on this matter."

The five were shaken by his words, their eyes filled with disbelief. These words challenged their worldview of the world of immortals...

"Take it."

"Thank you, my lord!"

The five spoke in unison, bowing solemnly, their eyes filled with indescribable respect. Since the lord had made his decision, they would not be pretentious.

"We will be away for so years, not knowing when we'll return. With my third sister by my side, you can rest assured."

Chen Xun's words relaxed as he watched them accept the fruits, a smile appearing on his face, "But I have prepared a way out for you. If you wish to leave, I will provide you with a batch of cultivating resources."

The five exchanged glances, already understanding each other perfectly. They had even practiced joint attack techniques, able to communicate with just a look.

Wild Gold spoke in a low voice, "My lord, we will wait for you and Miss in the ngmu Sea Region."

The other four nodded silently, their eyes filled with determination, never having thought of leaving. Their aptitude in the immortal path was not high, and all they had left was loyalty.

Chen Xun furrowed his brows, taking a deep breath, "Then follow Ji Yan for now. He will not treat you poorly, and it's a ti when manpower is needed."

"Yes, my lord!" The five cupped their hands in response, only following orders without asking what they were to do.

"Here are the coordinates of the island's energy. Ji Yan's base is there."

Chen Xun took out a specially made dicine case and explained, "I will inform him, and you can go directly."

"Yes." The five bowed solemnly, taking the energy case and stepping into the sky, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

"Nine hundred strands of the power of the Great Dao... It seems to be the effect of top-grade spirit stones."

Chen Xun squinted slightly, seeing through the five's specific strength, "I should also think about how to refine pills with Heavenly Origin Qi."

"Moo~"

"Let's go."

Chen Xun spoke calmly, smiling at Little Crane, "Third sister, have you bid farewell to your teacher and paid respects to the academy's ancestral immortal statue?"

"Eldest brother, I have!"

Little Crane stood up instantly upon hearing the sowhat stern voice, speaking quickly, "I have bid farewell to Senior Yuxuan, Senior Baiyu, and all the other seniors. I paid respects to the immortal statue three tis as soon as I left the academy."

"Good, very good." Chen Xun's expression softened considerably upon hearing this, "Regardless of whether your cultivation reaches the heavens in the future, you should always hold respect for the predecessors on the path of immortality. That is what makes a true cultivator."

"Yes, yes!" Little Crane's eyes flashed with understanding.

Little Chi looked puzzled. Why hadn't Brother Xun ever told him these things? Wasn't it always 'old thief' this and 'old thief' that...

Black Bull mooed at Chen Xun from the side, its tail swaying a few tis. It wanted to see the grand event in the sea region! Such a safe and lively event, they never missed.

"Hahaha... Let's go, we have the invitation. Let's get a good spot first."

Chen Xun laughed heartily, stepping forward and flipping Little Chi's quilt over to him, "It's mine now!"

"What?! Brother Xun, Fatty gave that to !"

"Moo moo~~"

"Hehe, eldest brother, why do you always like teasing fourth brother?"

Buzz—

The small shabby boat accelerated in the sky, heading into the distance. Four figures on the boat shouted and laughed, but as Little Crane laughed, she silently glanced at the ground, looking at Dongxuan Immortal Island.

On the ground.

Feng Jinyu gazed at the sky, holding an Image Stone in his hand, walking slowly through the flower field, leaving only a resolute and solitary back and a lingering fragrance that wouldn't fade.
