Chen Xun's eyes flickered as he noticed the subtle change in Chu Zhen's expression. "Chu Zhen, for now, you should follow Bull in your cultivation. His talent in the immortal dao is only slightly inferior to mine."
"Moo moo~" Black Bull nodded at Chu Zhen with a determined look, as if to say it was absolutely true.
Chu Zhen gently nodded towards Black Bull and bowed, "In the future, I will trouble Ancestor Bull for guidance. Your exploits in the borderlands have spread throughout the Wild Heaven Region. It is my fortune to follow Ancestor Bull in cultivation."
Her words were exceedingly polite, maintaining a proper sense of boundary, reminiscent of the ti with junior sister Liu Yuan...
A hint of an unusual color flashed in Black Bull's eyes as he ran forward to nuzzle Chu Zhen, feeling quite elated. "Moo moo~~" No need to be so formal, from now on, we're family.
Chen Xun gave Chu Zhen a deep look, a trace of a smile on his lips. "Chu Zhen, there's no need to be formal with Bull. We don't have the concept of seniority here. From now on, consider yourself our junior sister."
"What?!" Chu Zhen's eyes widened in surprise, instinctively exclaiming, "Chen Xun... I have already joined the Five Aggregates Sect as a disciple. How can I disrupt the hierarchy?"
"Our Five Aggregates Sect isn't so particular about such things, unlike the grand sects of this world."
Chen Xun's smile was gentle. "You've already advanced to the Great Ascension stage, and your Dao heart is as firm as a rock. You must have realized that we don't see you as an outsider, simply because we are fated."
"Moo!" Black Bull snorted heavily after so thought. To them, Chu Zhen was just Chu Zhen, and inviting her to the Five Aggregates Sect was simply not to miss this rare opportunity.
Their cultivation was now sky-high, their status prestigious. They could do whatever they wanted without affecting others, needing only to follow their own hearts.
Chu Zhen remained silent for a long ti before suddenly smiling sweetly. "Since that parting, you've changed a lot, but for so reason, at that mont, my heart felt a pang..."
"Hehe, why worry about such things?" Chen Xun laughed freely. "Chu Zhen, do you wish to co to the Five Aggregates Sect? Do you wish to see us again?"
"...I do."
"Then that's settled. Live in the mont, no need to avoid it."
Chen Xun laughed heartily, feeling utterly relieved. "Moreover, with our current power, we don't need to leave any regrets. We felt it in our hearts and ca to fetch you."
"Moo?!" Black Bull cast a suspicious glance at Chen Xun. That's not what you said back then.
The heart-wrenching... cursing of the primordial spirit: This child's mind is unclear, ruining my future and my fate with Chu Zhen. Truly unforgivable!
After saying that, who knows how many thousand-year-old Crane Spirit Trees were felled, and those boxes used to carry the good fruits were Chen Xun's works of regret.
In the end, he even hinted to Ji Yan, almost saying directly:
Good brother... I have an old acquaintance in the ancient city, help bring her back. If I go to fetch her myself, it would be a bit embarrassing.
Black Bull's throat gurgled, internally cursing Chen Xun clearly. He never seed as carefree as he appeared.
Suddenly!
A sharp, profound gaze shot over, and one could even hear the sound of knuckles tightening. Black Bull's pupils shrank suddenly, oh no!
"Moo..." Black Bull turned around with a silly grin, smiling ingratiatingly at Chen Xun, baring his teeth in the process.
Chen Xun kicked Black Bull's rear, laughing and scolding, "Bull, itching for a beating?!"
"Moo..." Black Bull let out a low call, its mouth stretching wider, secretly vowing to cultivate to the immortal realm. Ever since the eldest brother beca an immortal, all his thoughts were known...
However, in front of Chen Xun, it remained utterly obedient, not wanting Chen Xun to use that move in front of Chu Zhen, or how would it teach junior sister Chu Zhen in the future?
Chu Zhen pursed her lips, saying nothing.
At this mont, Chen Xun rose with the wind, looking warmly at Chu Zhen. "Junior sister, if you need anything, co find at the peak of the ninety-nine ring-shaped mountains. Anything at all. I've heard a bit about your matters with the Jun family, and about your mother."
"Chen Xun!" Chu Zhen's cold face changed drastically, looking up with a trembling voice, "My mother..."
"In the Eastern Wilderness."
Chen Xun spoke calmly, his gaze distant. "She angered the remnant soul of the True Spirit back then and was taken by the Five Ghosts Extinguishing Heavenly Dao. Your mother's identity seems to have so issues."
"And your soul..."
At this point, Chen Xun's eyes narrowed slightly. "With your talent and the Chu family of the Ancient City of True Spirits, it would be difficult for you to cultivate to the Great Ascension stage. She left sothing behind, which my tribulation-crossing primordial spirit didn't notice back then."
Black Bull's honest gaze gradually turned a bit sharp. It had noticed since Chu Zhen ca to the Five Aggregates Sect.
Chu Zhen's body trembled suddenly, the dreams she had as a child were actually true!
It was also because of this that she developed such a cold deanor and appearance, not just because of the matter with Jun Jing.
"This matter is your family affair. Your Chu family being rooted in the Ancient City of True Spirits is also related to that remnant soul of the True Spirit."
Chen Xun's pupils suddenly turned a bit cold, as if everything was under control. "Five Ghosts Extinguishing Heavenly Dao, once you've achieved success in cultivation, you can descend the mountain to confront it."
"Moo." Black Bull echoed from the side. It had once shattered that soul's shadow with a single glance.
But it also discovered so secrets. The soul was too ancient, so ancient that it was almost impossible to trace back through ti. True Spirit, they had never seen one!
Combining this with the forr Taiyi Ancient Immortal Court, where True Spirits entered the court... this remnant soul of the True Spirit might truly be the ancient sixth!
Chen Xun let out a faint, cold laugh. Since becoming an immortal, he had seen through too many things shrouded in mist.
Song Heng and Gu Lisheng approaching him was never a coincidence, nor was his unexpected encounter with Tian Yun. The Immortal King Burial helping him beco an immortal despite Prince Gu's opposition was also no coincidence.
Everything was just as Frog Daoist had said. The real setup was to let a leaf fall naturally into a desired position, regardless of the wind and rain, the passage of ti.
However, now everything must follow the rules of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elents...
Chen Xun's cold eyes gradually transford into the Five Elents Immortal Eyes that were indifferent to all things. Gazing into the void, he murmured, "National religion Fu Shi, I hope we won't be enemies. Don't let this Dao Ancestor's days of retirent turn into endless killing."
He was now akin to a chess master. Whoever dared to manipulate him, no one would survive. He had already lived over a hundred years, and it was a blood profit. When Chen Xun went mad, even he feared himself!
Moreover, the national religion Fu Shi didn't hold a high position in his heart. He only revered the Immortal King Burial and respected Song Heng and Gu Lisheng. If they dared to ss around, he'd overturn their mountain gate.
These words, neither Black Bull nor Chu Zhen heard.
Chu Zhen remained lost in thought for a long ti, finally recalling that dream, staying in the Ancient City of True Spirits... staying in the Ancient City of True Spirits...!
She had been tornted by nightmares since childhood, which forged such a strong soul, but Chu Zhen also had a rebellious streak. She didn't participate in duels, cultivated as she pleased, and spent her days with the zither.
Yet her cultivation level... inexplicably rose to Elental Infant, Divine Transformation, Void Refinent... This gave the Chu family patriarch ambitions, wanting to eventually send her to the Immortal Palace for cultivation.
This was also the main reason for Chu Zhen's perpetual lancholy and maintaining her cold deanor!
A hint of pain flashed in her eyes. "Chen Xun..."
"Don't worry, we're here." Chen Xun's voice softened, smiling warmly. "From now on, just stay in the Five Aggregates Sect and cultivate. Our sect has big plans in the future, and we must go together."
"Moo moo!!"
Black Bull let out a long howl, its eyes suddenly filled with confusion. Wasn't Chen Xun practicing boxing this month? Was he actually comprehending the Dao?!
"Moo moo?"
"Bull!"
"Moo?"
"Wait for my Boundary creature soul to return!"
"Moo moo?!!"
Black Bull's hair stood on end, its pupils as large as copper bells. What does that an?!
Chen Xun laughed, his gaze deep and vast... His Five Elents Immortal Eyes began to slowly stir the heavens and penetrate everything!
...
Beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds, beyond the living boundary domains, beyond the mineral boundary domains, in the deepest part of the boundless void... cold, dark, profound, where the immortal dao is extinguished, and nothing exists.
Buzz...
Buzz...
Suddenly, waves of boundless light and shadow rose, spanning billions of miles of stars. Ahead, a gray-blue light curtain engulfed all directions, vast and endless, with no visible end.
A creature with black pupils, black eye sockets, and entirely black body slowly opened its eyes in the Void Land. An aura of supre power spread across the eight wildernesses, as imposing as a rainbow, shaking even the Endland of its grand world and the desolate path of ominous creatures!
Behind it, a series of grand, boundless suns and stars rose, dazzling and world-shocking, impossible to gaze upon directly!
"Seeker of the Dao, this is the forbidden domain of the human race—ancestral land of the Boundary Spirit. Dare to step in, and your form and spirit will be annihilated."
The domineering, indifferent words echoed in all directions, like an unstoppable torrent sweeping through the entire Void Land... powerful and unmatched!
And this was the entity that, in that bloody era, rose step by step from being blood food, forcibly standing tall in the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds, rising with an unstoppable force—
The Great Sun and Stars, the human race!
