Chapter 737: Yin Tianshou!
"Elder Xun, are you afraid of the Immortal Palace too?"
Youyuan blinked, trusting them purely, "There's no need to be afraid, everyone there is a cultivator like us."
"Hmm..." Chen Xun sighed, "But do you know of the Yao Terrace Immortal Palace?"
"Of course!"
Youyuan's eyes lit up, nodding quickly, "It's very, very far from here. You have to ride the roaming Kunpeng to get there. I don't even know how big the domain is."
"The roaming Kunpeng, Bull and I haven't seen it yet."
Chen Xun's smile was bright, "Bull and I have an old friend there who takes good care of our sister. We'll visit her someday."
"Moo moo~~" Black Bull also grinned widely. Although Yuxuan had a fiery temper and spoke bluntly, she was a good person.
"When I grow up, I'll take you there!"
Chen Xun patted Youyuan's head, chuckling, "Just come chat with us when you're free. Leave the adult matters to us."
"Alright..."
Youyuan held her head, avoiding Chen Xun's hand, then glanced back, changing the subject, "Elder Xun, where are Brother Batian and Brother Yanshu? Did they go to buy refining materials?"
"They went to the Sacred Land to become disciples. Following us to refine all the time isn't enough; they need to cultivate too."
"Oh!" Youyuan exclaimed, covering her mouth with both hands, "Elder Xun, the Sacred Land is dangerous. Mother said the disciples there fought their way out, and the geniuses of the Sacred Land are no weaker than those of the Immortal Palace."
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Look at that giant beast by the street."
"Hmm? Haha..."
Youyuan giggled, seeing the giant beast limping after losing a duel, "Elder Xun, Bull, it's so strange."
The three of them sat leisurely in front of the refining shop, pointing and chatting, no longer discussing matters of the Wild Heaven Region, just enjoying the delightful laughter of a little girl.
As the sun set.
Youyuan left with her goggles, waving goodbye to Chen Xun and Black Bull, turning back every few steps.
Her smile was pure and bright in the evening glow, bringing a touch of beauty to the bloodstained Wild Heaven Region. Chen Xun also waved with a smile alongside Black Bull in the sunset.
After Youyuan left, two women approached the refining shop, bowing respectfully and placing several large orders, seemingly in gratitude for their care.
There was no display of superiority or disrespect.
The two women were quite respectful to this ordinary refining shop, conducting everything with the etiquette of the Immortal Dao.
Chen Xun and Black Bull continued their hard-earned peaceful days, watching the seasons change.
In the following days, Youyuan still visited once or several times a year, chatting with Chen Xun and Black Bull, pointing at the street, unchanged and without incident.
Her physique was somewhat special, not growing rapidly like a mortal, always maintaining the appearance of a little girl, with the same personality.
But she had little knowledge, all hearsay from the Immortal Palace, often teased by Chen Xun until she was exasperated, boasting in front of the Dao Ancestor!
Time quietly flowed by, like a gentle ripple spreading across the water.
The two Crane Spirit Trees at the entrance, under the baptism of time, remained tall and sturdy, their bark etched with patterns that seemed to carry the memories of the years.
In the blink of an eye, three hundred years passed, the tranquil refining shop like a heavy tome of history, each page recording stories of the ages, watching various cultivators and spirit beasts hastily pass by on the street.
Chen Xun and Black Bull remained in the refining shop, while thirty Chen family immortal puppets quietly emerged, some entering the Xuanji Sacred Land, others wandering unseen.
Chen Batian and Chen Yanshu shone brightly in the Xuanji Sacred Land, growing so strong that they finally caught the attention of the strong within the Sacred Land, silently observing their growth.
But the one who paid the most attention was Shen Shi!
He always felt a sense of unease, a cultivator at the Great Ascension stage experiencing such a feeling meant a revelation of destiny. These two, he believed, were destined to be his disciples.
Over the years, whether cultivating in seclusion or traveling, Shen Shi always worshipped the heavens, preparing hundreds of sets of clothing. Though a cultivator, he now greatly revered destiny.
It wasn't because he was inexplicably struck by a heavenly tribulation, but because a cultivator should follow the will of heaven, for great fortune!
Regarding matters within the Xuanji Sacred Land, Chen Xun only paid slight attention, but he was somewhat interested in Jin Bao, feeling he had the demeanor of an elder brother.
Over the years, Youyuan visited less and less, saying she needed to go into seclusion to cultivate, stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage...
Inside the refining shop, at dawn.
Master Chen and Master Black Bull were busy again. Some precious materials couldn't be bought in the market and required going out to scavenge. The Wild Heaven Region had plenty of free cultivation resources.
"Bull, hurry up!" Chen Xun called from outside, three mountain-axing axes strapped to his waist, "I've chosen a spot, bound to hit the jackpot!"
"Moo moo~~~!"
Rumble—
The ground inside the shop trembled slightly as Black Bull charged from the backyard, pots, pans, and bells hanging from him, afraid Chen Xun would leave him behind!
"Let's go!"
"Moo moo!!"
Chen Xun laughed heartily, leading Black Bull away, leaving two carefree silhouettes on the street beneath the ancient peaks of the Sacred Land, as the refining shop's door slowly closed, temporarily not accepting orders.
When Youyuan emerged from seclusion later, visiting the Xuanji Sacred Land with her mother, she went to that familiar market, under the familiar two Crane Spirit Trees, but never saw those two familiar figures again.
She held her goggles in her hand, standing there for a long time, before turning away in desolation, for there was a talisman on the door:
"Temporarily closed, gone traveling, dear fellow Daoists, the world is vast, may we meet again among the mountains and rivers!"
...
Far beyond the Wild Heaven Region, in the Xuanwei Heaven domain.
Xuanwei Heaven, the Xuanwei Celestial Palace shook!
A vast and mighty voice echoed from the sky: "That boundary opener seems to be about to break through..."
"Yin Tianshou?"
"Yes, him."
"A lord of a great domain, with an Innate Sword Spirit Body and a Sacred Dao physique, able to break through in that sea region, truly remarkable."
"It seems the Xuanwei Heaven domain is about to become unsettled, with monstrous talents rampant in the Immortal Dao."
"The death of his disciple, the Southern Yu Immortal Palace should give an explanation soon."
"Let's wait and see."
"Indeed."
...
The voices grew fainter, as terrifying primordial spirits instantly vanished into the starry sky.
On the Southern Yu Continent, at the Southern Yu Immortal Palace.
The entire sky was filled with a murderous aura, shrouded in a heavy atmosphere, as if countless invisible laws intertwined in the void.
A solemn air pervaded the surroundings, making people instinctively hold their breath.
The towering Immortal Palace stood like an invisible majestic heavenly might, seemingly pressing down on the entire world, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
The white walls of the Immortal Palace appeared even more dazzling under this atmosphere, yet they did not emit a joyful light, but rather a chilling one.
A man with overwhelming pressure and a murderous gaze slightly opened his eyes, containing an abyss and an indescribable killing intent and sharpness.
Those eyes seemed to see through everything, omniscient, making people dare not meet his gaze. He spoke each word with a deep and solemn tone:
"Yin Tianshou!"
The three words resounded like thunder across the sky, shaking the heart, as if causing the entire Southern Yu Continent to tremble.
His voice was majestic and sharp, like a giant wave rolling in, stirring up an endless storm, echoing throughout the Southern Yu Immortal Palace.
