~11 min read 2,191 words

In the sky, aboard the Boundary-breaking Ship.

Chen Xun sat cross-legged on the head of a crane, exhaling softly with a relaxed expression. He slightly turned his face, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Little Crane and Little Chi lay at the edge of the giant ship, gazing out at the sea of clouds and the vast expanse of land.

They were filled with excitement, brimming with anticipation and passion for the future and the life of cultivating immortality, just as he and Bull had felt when they first left their small village.

Black Bull was running around, sometimes beside Chen Xun, sometimes between Little Chi and Little Crane, and finally back under the deck, where they had a small base for planting spiritual herbs.

It had exchanged quite a few rare spiritual herbs from the Mu Yuan Realm, so if Chen Xun needed them for refining pills, he wouldn't have to buy them.

Planting more spiritual herbs here was always a good idea, as the spiritual soil was top-grade, brought from the vast sea regions.

Chen Xun's smile deepened; it had been a long time since he felt so leisurely.

He slowly turned his head to look at the clouds glowing with the evening light, beside him was an Earth rank Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk, capable of broadcasting major events from the entire Xuanwei Heaven.

At this moment, a steady voice came from within, belonging to a man:

Great World of Taiyi, Xuanwei Heaven.

"A hundred years ago, Misty once again reached the pinnacle of immortal Dao, creating the fifth-grade immortal Dao technique 'Divine Thought Nether', spreading it among Divine Transformation cultivators. If the technique is mastered, one can enter the Star Pivot with divine thought!"

"This has caused a sensation across all heavenly domains, with numerous Heavenly Venerables visiting Xuanwei Heaven. If a Divine Transformation cultivator masters it, the range of the Star Pivot will become even more widespread, expanding the realm of communication in the immortal Dao!"

"This technique is available for sale in various immortal pavilions, priced at a hundred mid-grade spirit stones. Those who master it can visit Xuanwei Heaven, where the powerful Misty will personally meet them to witness this world-shaking achievement!"

...

Chen Xun took a deep breath upon hearing this. The number of Divine Transformation cultivators was immense and astonishing. If they could enter the Star Pivot early, they would have a broader and higher perspective and insight.

This technique seemed minor, but once truly successful, it would elevate countless cultivators' limits, and its influence would be unprecedented!

"Wow... to create such a technique, no wonder all the Heavenly Venerables are visiting Xuanwei Heaven." Chen Xun couldn't help but admire. He had never thought of entering the Star Pivot with divine thought, always following in the footsteps of predecessors, honestly using the primordial spirit.

He took out some health tea, sipped it slowly, and continued listening.

"The Nine Radiance Immortal Sect discovered a vast mineral boundary in the Void Land, including the Void Mystical Green Secret Stone veins, and traces of ancient void beasts have even appeared around!"

"The Xuanwei Celestial Palace has dispatched an army of a million cultivators, marching grandly, with many cultivators following, and various forces coordinating to clear all obstacles. Even the prodigies from the Chaos Immortal Spirit List are joining the expedition!"

"The Xuanwei Heavenly Venerable has declared that the development of the immortal Dao in Xuanwei Heaven is imperative. If successful, the price of the Void Mystical Green Secret Stone in Xuanwei Heaven will drop by ten percent, benefiting all cultivators in Xuanwei Heaven!"

...

Chen Xun's eyes widened slightly, clenching his fist, and he silently exclaimed: Good!

A flash of excitement crossed his eyes. The Void Mystical Green Secret Stone was something his garbage recycling plant needed greatly, useful everywhere, whether for sound transmission disks or space channel setups.

Chen Xun had reviewed the accounts; the vast sea regions were too expansive, and their annual investment in establishing space channels was enormous. Without their own boundary mineral veins, they could only buy finished products.

At this moment, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he frowned slightly. By now, he couldn't quite see through this grand world. How insignificant the small boundaries were... why did they have to be destroyed?

"What are you all doing..." Chen Xun's expression gradually became calm, his eyes gazing into the infinite calmness, "Even a speck of void dust must be destroyed? Is there no room for sand in your eyes?"

His words were low and cold, spoken word by word. The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, a colossal entity above the great world, is your vision truly so narrow?!

A hint of resolute anger flashed in Chen Xun's eyes. The more beautiful this grand world was, the more absurd it seemed to him now. Everything would come to an end, and by then, he would understand everything.

He took a small sip of health tea, a few green leaves floating on top, which he had sneakily taken from Old Yin's 'Memory' tree, adding a unique flavor to the tea, with a hint of aftertaste.

Chen Xun's thoughts calmed instantly, his eyes becoming as still as an ancient well again, while the Nine Heavens Sound Transmission Disk continued to broadcast:

"The Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom guards the end of the heavenly domain, ensuring eternal peace for the heavenly domain, slaying billions of void evil spirits, and collecting a massive amount of evil marrow crystals. The Immortal Kingdom's Artifact Heavenly Venerable has found a way to utilize them, effective immediately, announcing to the four corners of the heavenly domain."

"We invite fellow Daoists who are passionate about the path of refining to gather at the Cangling Immortal Palace of the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom, to jointly open an unprecedented path of refining. The Heavenly Melody Immortal Emperor has declared: with the full support of the Immortal Kingdom!"

"This event has shaken the ancient immortal kingdoms of the Great World of Taiyi, with rumors that various Immortal Emperors have arrived at the Star Pivot Imperial Palace, about to embark on a discussion that will shake the Great World of Taiyi."

"For specific details of the ancient immortal kingdoms, fellow Daoists are invited to move to the Earth-tier Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk, where more detailed information will be provided."

...

"What the...?!"

Chen Xun cursed aloud, just as he was getting engrossed, suddenly being told to move to the Earth-tier Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk. If he could afford it, would he still be listening to this nonsense?!

Speaking only halfway, you brat will definitely go astray in cultivation!

Chen Xun was somewhat exasperated, his mouth dry, gulping down several sips of health tea, his thoughts being pulled far away by these earth-shattering news.

This grand world of immortals truly changes drastically every thousand years, while the small boundaries have seen no such transformations in thousands of years, leaving the future uncertain.

Yet, he felt both surprised and delighted in his heart; this grand world indeed had Immortal Emperors! His third sister dared to mock him for being uneducated?!

The Nine Heavens Sound Transmission Disk continued its endless cycle, never pausing for anyone's drifting thoughts.

"Xuanwei Heaven, Great Desolate, Mystic Heaven Formation Palace; Celestial Sky, Cangyun Dao Court; Yuxiao Heaven, Qiankun Formation Hall, the three great heavenly domain formation leaders are uniting today, gathering under the brilliant stars!"

"The three great formation forces have announced to the heavenly domain that the Celestial Path Track has entered the final formation stage. This Celestial Path Track has detached from the elemental coordinates, freed from the constraints of elemental energy and space channels."

"This path will break the traditional formation techniques of the ancients, conceived by capturing the chaotic path of the celestial realm through generations of prodigies from the three great heavenly domains, using formations to capture the orderly path of the heavens, forming arrays with the Dao, using the heavenly domain as the foundation!"

"If this formation succeeds, the connection and interaction among myriad clans in various heavenly domains will become closer, eliminating the need to spend vast amounts of spirit stones on cross-domain formations. This path will connect the three heavenly domains, allowing direct access to various immortal realms!"

"Major forces have been supporting this endeavor with massive resources for cultivation, hoping for the success of the 'Celestial Path Track', wishing for the prosperity of the immortal Dao in our three heavenly domains!"

...

Chen Xun instinctively gave a thumbs up. He couldn't imagine what the Celestial Path Track would look like, nor did he understand it, but if it succeeded, he would definitely take his family to be the first travelers!

He sighed softly, watching the swiftly passing white clouds, his eyes filled with beautiful hope. The development of the immortal Dao had truly exceeded his imagination.

He wondered if those three great formation forces were still accepting spirit stone investments. He had great faith in this plan, and they would naturally survive to see it through, making it a sure-win investment.

"Moo?" Black Bull hurried over, mooing in amazement.

The sound from Chen Xun's Nine Heavens Sound Transmission Disk echoed throughout the Boundary-breaking Ship, without any soundproofing. Although they were all busy with their own tasks, they kept one ear open.

"Bull, this grand world of immortals is ever-changing, always moving forward."

Chen Xun smiled, looking at the amazed Black Bull, "Why don't you go and learn about it when the time comes? I heard it's just entering the final stage."

Black Bull nudged Chen Xun, nodding repeatedly, "Moo!"

Chen Xun chuckled, having just thought about making investments, but with Black Bull's interruption, it seemed they would be heading to build that Celestial Path Track in the future. Either way, as long as food and lodging were covered, it was fine.

Black Bull snorted, its eyes a bit dazed. Capturing the orderly path of the heavens to form arrays was another major step beyond utilizing elemental energy, something it had never imagined.

"Brother Xun, I heard them say, there are too many unclaimed mineral veins in the Void Land, right? The entire boundary is full of veins?"

Little Chi stood on the deck, shocked, his mane trembling, "The cultivation resources must be overwhelming, no wonder there's less fighting in this grand world, everyone's off mining and getting rich quietly!"

"Hahaha..." Chen Xun laughed heartily, "Isn't that right? Otherwise, where would all the massive resources for cultivating immortals come from? Cultivators are like gold-devouring beasts, endless through generations, let alone billions of clans."

"Brother Xun, should we also go find a boundary mineral vein to mine in the future? Little Brother hasn't mined in ages!"

Little Chi's eyes sparkled with excitement, already fantasizing, "Boundary mine owner... the Void Land is even larger than the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds!"

"No rush, those heading to the Void Land are the giants of the entire sky."

Chen Xun remained calm, speaking slowly, "It's all about one's own strength, I already have a plan in mind, hehe."

"Got it, Brother Xun!" Little Chi roared lowly, his body swelling a bit, showing he had plenty of strength for mining!

"Big Brother~"

"Third Sister, did you hear? There are Immortal Emperors in this grand world, your big brother always speaks with evidence!"

"I heard."

"Hehe." Chen Xun nodded slightly, his head subtly raised, speaking deeply, "Third Sister, that's why you need to read more, see more, your big brother's knowledge is still a few steps ahead of you."

"Moo~~" Black Bull instantly snapped back, looking at Chen Xun with an expression of admiration, as if saying, 'As expected of Big Brother.'

Little Crane's eyes glinted mischievously, quickly stepping forward, whispering, "Big Brother~"

"Hmm?"

"Immortal Emperor is a title for the ruler of an immortal kingdom... not a realm, you still got it wrong."

"...Hmm."

Chen Xun cleared his throat, his gaze wandering slightly, "Regardless, there are Immortal Emperors in this grand world, Third Sister, you're still young, dare to question your big brother's knowledge?!"

"Moo!" Black Bull also swung its tail, mooing at Little Crane, trusting Chen Xun without question.

Facing the dual pressure from her big brother and second brother, Little Crane immediately sealed her lips, hands behind her back, refusing to say another word!

She only had a faint smile on her face, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally watching her big brother.

Chen Xun looked toward the deck, quickly changing the subject, "Little Chi."

"Brother Xun, what do you need!"

"When you go to the mortal world of the grand world, make your body smaller, like the size of a local dog, wouldn't that do?"

"Got it!"

"Moo moo~~"

"Haha, Fourth Brother, your face is too amusing, make it a bit smaller."

...

Three figures laughed continuously in the sky, only Little Chi looked troubled, already lying on the deck of the Boundary-breaking Ship with its belly up.

Buzz—

The Boundary-breaking Ship shimmered with the divine light of the Five Elements, like a beam of light traversing the golden sky, through the starry night, through the rain-soaked world, gradually fading into the distance.
