"Tai Yu."
"Dao Ancestor."
"Look, this is the sect of this Dao Ancestor, the Five Aggregates Sect. It's one of the few things I still hold dear, the only sect I joined when I embarked on the path of immortality."
Chen Xun looked back, sharing so past stories with Tai Yu, and said with a gentle smile, "Though your cultivation is profound now, you've always relied on your talent, walking the path of battles and killings. It's hard to go far this way. Cultivating immortality has never been about dueling and battle intent."
He spoke like an elder, softly guiding Tai Yu.
"Dao Ancestor, I..." Tai Yu was astonished, never having considered joining a sect. "I've grown accustod to a life of raw survival over the years. Joining a sect might not be suitable."
"Stay for a while and try it out. We cultivators have long lifespans. We can try and experience anything. If it doesn't suit you, it's never too late to make other plans."
Chen Xun placed one hand behind his back, smiling warmly, "At that ti, this Dao Ancestor won't stand in your way. The world is vast, you can go wherever you wish."
"Moo~" Black Bull chid in, nudging Tai Yu, its eyes filled with affirmation. Chen Xun was absolutely right!
Moreover, this boy's reckless nature would eventually lead to his demise on the path of wanton slaughter. There aren't many reasonable races and major powers in the Wild Heaven Region.
Roar~~
Upon hearing this, two ancient beasts let out a low growl, shaking the surrounding mountain forest. Their eyes showed a hint of excitent, agreeing with the Dao Ancestor's suggestion. Tai Yu, staying in the Five Aggregates Sect is a good idea!
They are beings who rely on longevity and the blessings of the heavenly domain to cultivate their realms. Though they appear as fierce beasts, they are the only ones with non-violent temperants, understanding reason and knowing when to yield.
Years spent in the Five Aggregates Sect have been quite comfortable, bringing their lazy nature to the fullest, becoming auspicious beasts at the sect's mountain gate, adept at moving goods and spirit stones.
Nowadays, they rember the nas of many disciples in the Five Aggregates Sect, have befriended many young creatures, and are the leaders of the spirit beasts in the mountains. A single call, and myriad spirits respond eagerly to move goods!
Using ancient immortal beasts to guard the sect is unprecedented in the Wild Heaven Region.
Neither the Dao Palace, the Immortal Palace, nor the longevity families have this privilege. The old monsters of the ancient beast clan wouldn't agree.
Yet, these ancient beasts, who have lived for such a long ti, give Chen Xun, the Dao Ancestor, face, never causing trouble for the Five Aggregates Sect, nor questioning anything.
It seems that letting their offspring stay in the Five Aggregates Sect is more conducive to a carefree life than wandering the Wild Heaven Region...
After all, the Five Aggregates Sect truly doesn't treat the ancient beasts as subordinate beasts, nor force them to do anything. They willingly squat outside the mountain gate, eagerly moving goods.
The beastly roars slowly spread in all directions, silently fading into the world.
Tai Yu remained silent for a long ti before speaking, "Dao Ancestor... about the debt."
"Hehe, it's a small matter, just a minor punishnt to serve as a warning." Chen Xun waved it off casually, not taking it seriously, "It's just to remind you of this lesson, not to kill the innocent or slaughter the weak."
"You can repay these debts slowly. I've never been in a hurry."
"......"
Tai Yu was initially moved by the first half of the sentence, but the latter part made him click his tongue inwardly. As expected of the Dao Ancestor, he should have realized it when he personally went to mine spirit stones.
This person truly has an obsession with spirit stones...!
However, these stones can buy all the immortal resources in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Who wouldn't love them? Though he doesn't have the sa deep obsession as the Dao Ancestor, since incurring the debt, he's developed a similar fixation.
Tai Yu sighed deeply in his heart, but a humble smile appeared on his lips, "Dao Ancestor, Tai Yu is willing to join the Five Aggregates Sect."
"Haha, good!"
Chen Xun laughed heartily, feeling extrely pleased, and imdiately looked at Black Bull, "Bull, later go to the main hall of the sect and register Tai Yu's sect status. I'll personally refine the sect token."
"Hmm... for the position, let's make it an outer elder for now. As for offerings and such, the Five Aggregates Sect is still in a state of rebuilding, so we'll owe it for now."
"Moo moo~~!"
"Roar!!"
Black Bull and the ancient beasts let out a long cry, especially the latter, feeling genuinely happy for Tai Yu. The Five Aggregates Sect is definitely a treasure land, joining the sect is absolutely the right choice.
They looked at Black Bull with a sense of reverence, indeed, Bull Senior must be from the lineage of the Ancient Immortal Bull!
Tai Yu chuckled silently, having no interest in the offerings. Seeing the Dao Ancestor so joyful, he felt much lighter in his heart. This person had taught him a lot along the way.
He had long regarded him as a true elder, though he had never expressed his peculiar respect for him in words or actions.
Now, formally joining the Five Aggregates Sect, he felt that their relationship had subtly taken a step forward, as if there was a faint, intangible bond of cause and effect entwining them.
"Bull."
"Moo moo!"
"Bring out the Five Elents Crane Spirit Pen that this Dao Ancestor personally consecrated. I will personally inscribe the words for the mountain gate."
Chen Xun's expression turned solemn, waving his sleeve with a serious deanor, "With this inscription, our sect in this boundary will have a firm foothold in the Three Thousand Great Worlds."
"Moo!" Black Bull's breathing beca heavier, and its expression turned serious.
Tai Yu stood aside, bowing his head with hands clasped, having already taken out the Earth-tier Image Stone. This was a signal from the elder's gaze, such an important mont, of course, this item must be prepared, a future relic of the sect's legacy.
Black Bull's heart skipped a beat, knowing Chen Xun's calligraphy... was like his painting skills, sowhat problematic!
It understood Chen Xun too well, always wanting to take unconventional paths, but things always went contrary to his wishes, and his painting skills seed to have never been acknowledged... though it would certainly acknowledge them in its words.
"Moo~" Black Bull carefully took out the pen, long polished from the Crane Spirit Tree.
It bore no decorations, nor any fur or blood of so astonishing demonic beast, just a simple pen made from the Crane Spirit Tree, plain and unadorned.
However, Tai Yu, watching this pen from the side, fell into contemplation, analyzing its texture, material, immortal beast fur, and the passage of ti...
Finally, he concluded: this pen... is extraordinary! Even his knowledge couldn't analyze one in ten thousand of it!
Chen Xun held the long pen, standing before the mountain gate, his eyes carrying a hint of etherealness, as if pondering sothing.
At this mont, the surrounding world seed to quiet down. The wind stopped, the clouds ceased, and all was silent.
He stood still on the massive five-colored stone that A Da and A Er had picked up from the bottom of a ten-thousand-foot cliff, with towering immortal mountains behind him and a vast sea of clouds before him, dreamlike.
For a long ti.
His Five Elents Immortal Eyes suddenly appeared, his wrist moved in an instant, and the pen tip lightly touched the five-colored stone. That light touch, like a star falling into the sea, though silent, stirred up waves.
In an instant, the entire mountain gate seed to be illuminated by this point, a brilliant light shining into every corner, warming every cloud.
After the initial point, the Crane Spirit Tree pen in Chen Xun's hand seed to co alive, swiftly dancing across the five-colored stone, tracing dazzling paths like teors streaking across the night sky, leaving behind heart-stirring marks!
Black Bull, Tai Yu, A Da, and A Er were instantly shocked, though they couldn't understand what script it was, they were moved by Chen Xun's penmanship, touching their Dao hearts.
The strokes were strong and powerful, as steady as mountains, each character seed to leap, as if showcasing to the world what the Five Aggregates Sect was.
It was an indescribable grandeur, an immortal magnificence stemming from between heaven and earth!
When the final stroke fell, Chen Xun gently released his hand, and the three large characters "Five Aggregates Sect" on the five-colored stone shone brilliantly, like stars.
However, as he finished writing, a sudden change occurred in all directions!
At this mont, the mountains echoed, the sea of clouds surged, the sound like a multitude of voices, as if heaven and earth were celebrating it, this was the true might of an immortal, every word and deed could move the heavens and earth!
Tai Yu was sowhat dumbfounded, having witnessed immortals in action during the Milky Way War, he had already held immortals in the highest regard, but he seed to have forgotten, that was the human race's Milky Way, a world of its own!
In that place, the true strength of myriad clans' immortals would be suppressed... and this was the true might of an immortal, casually wielding a pen, causing resonance with the heavens and earth, far beyond his imagination.
Tai Yu's eyes were filled with deep shock, truly realizing why the might of immortals, the path of immortality, was a long and arduous journey...
This mountain stone stood firmly before the mountain gate of the Five Aggregates Sect, majestic and eternal, inscribed personally by the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elents.
And they didn't linger there long, nor did they announce it to the entire sect, leaving only A Da and A Er sitting there dumbfounded, enjoying the tranquility of ti, watching the clouds roll by each day.
Tai Yu followed Black Bull towards the main hall of the sect.
Chen Xun leisurely headed towards the teleportation array of the ninety-nine ring-shaped mountains, his eyes sparkling with brilliance, having long planned his path of reconstruction.
He chuckled softly on the way, "Heh, trying to outlast this Dao Ancestor, just wait for to co and blow up your graves."
