~8 min read 1,522 words

"General Ling!" Tian Yun struggled to speak, his voice low, "I don't need anyone's protection. I'm just out for some training and forgot the way back."

"Tian Yun, shut your mouth!" A deep voice scolded, and Tian Yun instantly fell silent.

Chen Xun's expression gradually became calm and unruffled, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Ling Kongshen continued, "Dao Ancestor, Tian Yun is connected to the ancient prince, the Ancient Immortal, the Burial Heaven Mound, and the Ghost Gate. Staying with you is his best refuge."

He left one thing unsaid: he was well aware of the battle at the Milky Way. All these great powers followed this Dao Ancestor, and the entanglement of karma was immense. On the other hand, the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom...

They stood with Shi Rong Immortal. If they were to settle accounts with the Ancient Immortal Court and the abandoned national religion, they had no reason to protect this child.

Most importantly, their strength was far from being able to overlook everything. The Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom couldn't even escape the Great World of Taiyi.

Though not bound by the rules of the grand world, they were still trapped by the cage of fortune.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Xun nodded expressionlessly, "The Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom is indeed sincere. This Dao Ancestor finds it hard to refuse. Tian Yun may join my Five Aggregates Sect."

"Dao Ancestor... I am willing to join the Five Aggregates Sect."

Suddenly, Tian Yun's expression relaxed, as if he had made a decision or suddenly understood many things, nodding heavily.

Black Bull's eyes narrowed slightly, glancing inconspicuously at the wooden medicine case on Tian Yun's back, as if there was an old monster inside...

But since Chen Xun dared to accept, he must have thought it through more deeply than Black Bull, and it wasn't as simple as it seemed. After all, Chen Xun was exceptionally wise.

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor." Ling Kongshen sighed softly, a hint of relief in his eyes.

The Immortal Kingdom had its own agenda regarding Tian Yun and was subtly hostile towards Fu Shi. The direct descendant of the founding Immortal Emperor should not be manipulated by them. Having become a part of immortal history, they should not plot against future generations.

As for this Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, the opener of the boundary, a person of true emotion and nature, it was evident from the matter of Mo Ye Han.

Placing Tian Yun in the Five Aggregates Sect gave them peace of mind. Further scheming and plotting would be counterproductive.

In mid-air.

Chen Xun's body swayed slightly in the strong wind, but his mind was clear. The Ancestor's gift of Zun Wu to him was likely to protect this person's life.

"Tian Yun."

"Dao Ancestor."

"Open a small mountain peak on your own. When Young Master Gu and the others return, I will arrange a meeting for you."

Chen Xun pondered, speaking unhurriedly, "Since you're out for training, consider your time in the Five Aggregates Sect as part of it. As for helping me, those matters are in the past."

"This Dao Ancestor will not delve into your secrets."

"When someone from Fu Shi comes to take charge, seek me out again. For now, you are far from qualified."

Chen Xun's last words were blunt, no longer beating around the bush, "As long as you remain within the Jade Bamboo Range, no one in the Three Thousand Great Worlds will dare harm you."

These words sent a chill through the strong ones from the Immortal Kingdom, leaving no room for doubt.

The Dao Ancestor's greatest influence was not in other great worlds but in the Boundless Great World, where he faced a thousand immortals alone, a feat even a Dao heart possessed by demons wouldn't dare imagine.

Ling Kongshen felt completely at ease upon hearing this. The Ancestor had his reasons for offering a national gift.

Tian Yun's clear eyes became slightly clouded, and he bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for taking me in. I will not cause trouble for the Five Aggregates Sect and will cultivate diligently."

"Daotian." Chen Xun called softly to another.

"Old man!"

Boom!

A rumble echoed as Chen Daotian approached, bare-chested, his black hair flowing freely behind him, his brows fierce, his vitality as overwhelming as an ancient beast!

His appearance caused the strong ones from the Immortal Kingdom to change color slightly, as if they had seen an ancient ferocious beast, the impact even greater than that of an ancient beast!

Yet, his ferocity turned into a simple-minded demeanor in front of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, like a naive boy.

"Daotian, take Tian Yun down and familiarize him with our Five Aggregates Sect."

Chen Xun smiled calmly, introducing him to Chen Daotian, "This person might be an old friend of Young Master Gu, treat him well."

"Moo~" Black Bull gave Chen Daotian a knowing look.

Chen Daotian's eyes widened slightly, glancing at Chen Xun and Black Bull, understanding!

This person might be a hostage, as it was rumored that Prince Gu owed the old man a large sum of spirit stones. If the debt wasn't repaid, they might use this person as leverage!

"Greetings, Senior Daotian." Tian Yun smiled awkwardly, "I'll be troubling everyone in the future."

"It's nothing."

Chen Daotian, not one for many words, said coldly, "Just follow me."

"Wait!"

"Old man?" Chen Daotian shivered, turning instantly.

The surrounding strong ones from the Immortal Kingdom were impressed by this scene, the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements had taught well.

"Remember to build a larger berth outside Yuqing Palace."

Chen Xun coughed lightly, glancing at Zun Wu, "This is a national gift from the Heavenly Melody Ancestor, treat it with care."

Chen Daotian's eyes brightened, having long noticed the grand Domain Crossing Space Boat, and was envious. His storage ring was still empty, and he didn't expect it to be gifted to the old man!

"Rest assured, old man." Chen Daotian's enthusiasm rose.

"Hehe."

Chen Xun chuckled softly, nodding gently.

The two then left, not daring to linger, but Tian Yun's status was not that of a disciple of the Five Aggregates Sect, merely a guest, much like Chen Xun and Black Bull once were.

"General Ling." Chen Xun's expression softened, "Now that matters with outsiders are settled, shall we discuss family affairs?"

"Very well, Dao Ancestor, please." Ling Kongshen's expression relaxed instantly.

"Moo~~"

Black Bull raised his head and bellowed, the scenery around them suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Five Aggregates Immortal Platform.

The strong ones from the Immortal Kingdom took a deep look at Black Bull, knowing that Senior Ximen was exceptionally powerful... they were no match for him. Even a small technique revealed the terrifying gap.

At a table and chairs, Chen Xun and Ling Kongshen sat facing each other.

The latter glanced at the massive stone wall, carved like a knife, towering into the sky, the pressure it exerted on him unprecedented.

Below the stone wall were dozens of slightly weathered seats.

But only three seats were complete, the others were half-finished, in various forms, seemingly waiting for someone to carve them carefully.

Ling Kongshen dared not look too long, just a glance at those three seats made his heart race, as if a great karma was upon him, and looking longer would bring strange events!

"Dao Ancestor... what is this?" Ling Kongshen took a deep breath, unable to resist asking.

"The seats of the Five Aggregates Ancestor."

Chen Xun's eyes flickered, taking out a cup of health tea, his gaze not shifting backward, "I look forward to seeing who will sit in these seats in the future."

Black Bull turned his head to look deeply at the seats, knowing they represented more than just the position of the Five Aggregates Ancestor. Buried below were their original Merit Ledgers, each entry profound, representing countless boundary creatures.

"I see, if these seats are filled, who knows how prosperous the Five Aggregates Sect will become."

Ling Kongshen stroked his beard and laughed, understanding what the seats represented, "I hope to see the day when the Five Aggregates Sect's immortal path flourishes."

"Hehe, General, you might be mistaken." Chen Xun chuckled, shaking his head, pouring him a cup of tea, "Here."

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor."

Ling Kongshen's eyes gleamed, remaining calm, savoring the tea personally poured by the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, asking, "Oh? It seems these seats have a deeper meaning."

"Of course." Chen Xun spoke warmly, calm as water, "If these seats are filled, it will be the day my Five Aggregates Sect invades the Boundless Great World. The revenge for our homeland must be taken by us boundary creatures."

"Does that make sense, General Ling?"

Hiss!

Ling Kongshen's mind shook violently, losing composure for the first time, the tea poured by the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements was sprayed out, even his Dao heart couldn't remain steady.

The crystalline tea droplets floated in the air, Chen Xun smiled gently, unhurriedly pouring another cup of tea...
