Chapter 1043 All will be well

In the vast expanse of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, even if immortals are separated by two places, they will never meet invisibly.

He couldn't afford to provoke them, but he could avoid them, and there would never be any disputes of pride!

This deafening silence lasted for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

However, the Great World of Taiyi showed no signs of an immortal's fall or heavenly weeping, which brought the immortals back to their senses. That Ximen Immortal Friend, borrowing the resonance of the immortal path... did not possess the same power to slay immortals as the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements.

They all breathed a sigh of relief; as long as the Jiang family immortal had not fallen, there was room for maneuver, even if it meant healing for ten thousand years, it was a minor issue.

"Ke Ding." Chen Xun's expression gradually became calm and profound, not speaking to any immortals.

"Here..." Ke Ding instinctively responded, then suddenly shivered and replied loudly, "Here!"

This scene made Yaoqin roll her eyes dramatically, wondering how this useless person managed to become an immortal... The path of immortality is indeed broad and open, giving such a person a chance.

However, when the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace was besieged, she was the first to lend a hand.

No matter how useless Ke Ding was, he was still her childhood friend, having traveled to many places together, and she naturally wouldn't watch him fall into danger. It was good that he was alive.

"Let's visit the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace."

Chen Xun's indifferent gaze swept across the surroundings, speaking softly, "What, do you intend to block the path of this Dao Ancestor, or do you wish to embarrass this mere Qi cultivation phase cultivator?"

"Dao Ancestor, please proceed!"

"Dao Ancestor, you speak too seriously!"

"We are all immortal friends of the grand world; how can our vision be limited by mere immortal realm boundaries, too vulgar, we have no intention of blocking your path!"

...

Several immortals spoke righteously, their imposing manner instantly retracting, even their brows slightly lowered, showing respect for the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements.

Chen Xun, with one hand behind his back, walked away with Ke Ding, head held high, chest out, and several immortals dared not speak, even after he left, they silently cupped their hands, not daring to plot anything.

The Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements is a respectable person, one must not embarrass him...

Several immortals took a deep breath, exchanged a silent glance, finally understanding his weakness, having something to care about is good, it's only frightening when one has no desires or pursuits.

As he left, Chen Xun slightly turned his face, glanced back, then left without looking back.

"...Chen Xun." Yaoqin murmured, her gaze lingering on his retreating figure, yet it seemed like she was holding on, growing more distant.

Once upon a time, Shi Rong was the same, fearless of heaven and earth, but his figure grew more hunched, past figures seemed to rush by, Yaoqin's brow furrowed a bit more.

Perhaps, they all had similarities back then, but as the years passed, their silhouettes seemed to slowly merge...

The one who only charged ahead, Ying Zhi Yi, laid plans for eternity, scheming for things past and future, the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, once a mere villager, had now grown into a formidable old monster, with thoughts so deep they chilled immortals.

Meanwhile, the expressions of the other immortals from various clans gradually calmed, watching that figure fade away, no longer exclaiming in fear, their faces an endless calm.

The continuous fall of human immortals was like a massive signal, sweeping through the Three Thousand Great Worlds, signaling the fate of the human race...

In just an instant.

Within the Star Pivot region, turmoil erupted, the news of the Jiang family's avatar's fall spread across the Three Thousand Great Worlds in less than an hour, the speed of information dissemination in this era of the immortal path was incredibly fast...

The spirit beast under the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements took action, boldly slaying an immortal in the Wild Heaven Region of the Great World of Taiyi!

...

In the deep, cold void, the end unknown.

Outside the portal of the Great Sun and Stars.

Ancestor Longevity unexpectedly opened his eyes again, his gaze slowly looking into the distance, without any reaction.

A small figure instantly condensed beside him, now one of the Jiang family's ancestors, the boy Jiang Ji Xiu.

"Ji Xiu, why did Jiang Xinkui's avatar die, and is there a human immortal to replace her position suppressing the essence of the grand world?"

Ancestor Longevity was very calm, without any unexpected anger, continuing, "Or perhaps, she doesn't need to heal, doesn't need to go out, eternally suppressing the essence of the Boundless grand world."

"Ximen Immortal Friend took action, resonating with Chen Xun Immortal Friend's immortal path, borrowing power to kill." Jiang Ji Xiu said softly, "The actions of immortals have nothing to do with my Jiang family, nor with the human race."

No force can compel an immortal to do what they don't want to do, no matter how powerful, not even the most supreme immortals, he truly meant this.

"You know Chen Xun's temperament." Ancestor Longevity gazed into the deep void, speaking slowly, "As long as you don't provoke him, all will be well, the human race can no longer afford to lose immortals."

"So, no human immortals have made a big deal of this, all are watching quietly."

Jiang Ji Xiu nodded peacefully, with a faint, elusive smile at the corner of his mouth, "But after this incident, the other strongest nine clans' cultivators dare not covet the Five Aggregates Sect anymore, they're too scared to kill."

Hearing this, Ancestor Longevity's brows moved slightly, "Such a major event, how will the Human Emperor Hall handle it, the myriad clans will surely make an issue of it."

"Endure." Jiang Ji Xiu spoke peacefully, then suddenly changed the topic, "Senior, the battlefield beyond the boundary has opened up ten thousand acres of spiritual soil, birthing immortal spirit energy, Jiang Xinkui's avatar's fall is a minor matter."

Ancestor Longevity's fierce face continued to gaze into the distance, not responding further.

Endure...

After a long time, he spoke coldly, "Understood, Chen Xun will sit in meditation for ten thousand years, the Five Elements will return to the essence of heaven and earth, do not disturb him again."

"Of course." Jiang Ji Xiu smiled, "By then, the Ji family will send juniors to leave the Boundless Great World, personally seeing off the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, and the Five Aggregates Sect will be protected by our human race's eight ancient clans."

Ancestor Longevity glanced at Jiang Ji Xiu from the corner of his eye, naturally understanding the implication in his words, the incomplete Great Thousand Creation Art of the Human Emperor...

This cannot be left at the mercy of others, nor can it remain with the human race of the grand world, it would be locked by the Chaos Immortal Spirit List's aura.

The only way is to continue exiling it to a small boundary, bringing it back through the Ascension Passage of future generations, this method involves the least karma.

Now, there are just some uncontrollable accidents, the Human Emperor boundary was forcibly opened, but the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements is not recorded in the Chaos Immortal Spirit List's aura, the outcome is still favorable.

Ancestor Longevity nodded lightly, also changing the topic, "How is the immortal spirit energy?"

"Cannot be stored, no suitable vessel has been found yet, but its efficacy is immense, allowing beings in the immortal realm to advance their cultivation with external aid, truly a celestial item."

The smile on Jiang Ji Xiu's lips disappeared, his expression carrying a hint of solemnity, "But the territory of the Three Thousand Great Worlds cannot bear even a wisp of immortal spirit energy, it would backfire on the spiritual earth, leading to desolation for miles around."

"As long as it's feasible, remember when the Star Pivot was born, an immortal's essence returned to silence, falling within."

"Indeed." Jiang Ji Xiu nodded, "Senior, hopefully the immortal spirit energy can defy fate for you in the future."

"No need."

Ancestor Longevity spoke calmly, "The True Immortal Realm's opening is uncertain, if the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements sits in meditation, and I change fate, then the future world boundary without Filthy Longevity to block and seal, the myriad clans will only destroy one small boundary's essence after another faster."

"Then our human race's preparations and patience... would be wasted halfway."

"...Understood."

Jiang Ji Xiu's gaze slightly focused, nodding gently, without further persuasion.

No one knows if Jiang Ji Xiu's words were a test or genuinely heartfelt, perhaps, even he himself doesn't know.
