Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 551: Chapter 438: Honest People Have Hard Lives

True Monarch Bai Yu obviously wouldn’t care about Chen Zhixing. The only one who would care about him was his unlucky master.

As soon as Chen Zhixing spoke, True Monarch Bai Yu seemed to realize something, his expression slightly changed, but then he couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Chen Zhixing.

"You don’t appreciate kindness!"

Chen Zhixing shrugged. Are there good people among the Longevity True Monarchs?

Maybe, but definitely not her—Bai Yu.

"Don’t think too much if there’s nothing going on."

"Heh."

...

The conversation ended with a laugh.

Bai Yu is not a very good conversational partner, neither is Tihu. However, Tihu is absolutely a great executor, and his efficiency is astonishingly fast.

Si State, Youze.

Youze should have been a large lake, but after the last battle between Chen Zhixing and Li Changshou, the lake’s waters expanded a thousand miles outward, transforming those thousand miles into the amphibious area now called Youze. Over time, local residents gave this large lake a new name.

The destructive power of cultivators is evident. It’s important to know that those fighting at that time were only in the Nirvana Realm.

However, equal to their destruction is the cultivators’ astounding manufacturing capabilities.

With True Monarch Tihu, a Longevity True Monarch, leading and thousands of Nanxuan Alliance cultivators gathered around Youze providing their power, and with a complete construction blueprint, the speed of building the Star Palace is astonishing. From the start of construction, the land in Youze transforms almost daily, presenting a new appearance each day.

"The Star Palace complex, three hundred miles in length and width, plans to build seven palace clusters and more than a thousand scattered palaces, with Ziwei Heng Palace at its core, distributed according to the Circulation Star Formation, gradually expanding outward. The Three Permanents and Four Symbols must also correspond to the star map tracks....."

"So why does the Nanxuan Alliance have to build the Ziwei Chen Family’s palace clusters?"

"Why question? Since the task has been delegated from above, just get to work."

"But boss, we joined the Nanxuan Alliance not to build a city for the Chen Family! Initially, it was agreed that joining the Nanxuan Alliance was a big deal to protect our Celestial Profound Realm, right? Yet now, we’re being made to build palaces for these noble families, being used like slaves?"

"You’re being paid for it!"

"But it’s not about the pay. The Chen Family is just too outrageous!"

"Shut up! Building this palace cluster is to defend against external invasions. I can’t tell you more, but it’s part of the plan to resist the Cosmic Realm invasion!"

"Boss, do you think I believe that?"

"..."

It’s not just the subordinates; even the boss is unwilling to believe it.

But what can be done? The Ziwei Chen Family offers too much.

Without truly facing these noble families, you’d never imagine how generous they are. A small team leader at the Divine Travel Realm like him makes over a hundred Spirit Stones a day, while the Void Transformation and Divine Communication Realm juniors under him earn anywhere from dozens to a hundred.

Normally, this income would take them a month to earn, so it’s no wonder they’re being treated like workhorses, as they’re paid generously.

So what if these juniors are treated like slaves?

Do you see the surface that was supposed to be a marshland? Why has it turned into a smooth stone base stretching three hundred meters? It’s because True Monarch Tihu used Divine Sword Skill to slice a mountain from afar, took a three-hundred-mile cross-section from its base, and forcibly laid it on this marshland, creating the foundation!

With even a Longevity True Monarch personally getting involved, how could these junior cultivators refuse?

The sad part is that at this ’construction site,’ Nanxuan Alliance only deployed junior cultivators from the Void Transformation to Divine Communication Realm. The alliance’s True Self and Nirvana Realm experts didn’t partake in this construction.

They promised equality, yet the Nanxuan Alliance is the first to play these hierarchical games?

It’s understandable why these junior cultivators of the Nanxuan Alliance feel unbalanced.

Meanwhile, seeing the barren marshland of Youze transform into a semblance of a city within just seven days under the efforts of over ten thousand cultivators, True Monarch Tihu’s expression was still not very pleasant.

"The time is still dragging too long. Just the foundation and road planning took seven days, and the process of inscribing the array might take at least half a year to finish."

Half a year!

Thinking that if this matter were delayed for half a year, the Celestial Fox might devour half of the high-tier cultivators of Celestial Profound East Continent. This gave True Monarch Tihu a headache!

At this moment, he realized that relying solely on himself and these juniors below the True Self Realm, it’s practically impossible to complete the ’Star Palace’ in a short period of time.

But any cultivator who has reached the True Self Realm or higher has already caught wind of the ’Celestial Fox,’ leading them to stay locked within the Jiangzhou borders and refuse to venture out. Even with True Monarch Tihu offering five hundred Spirit Stones per day, no True Self Realm cultivators were willing to come to Youze!

On the contrary, within Jiangzhou, due to rumors of ’Celestial Fox not entering Jiangzhou’ from unknown sources being confirmed, the density of high-tier cultivators in Jiangzhou has become astonishing in recent days. Jiangzhou, due to the construction of the Star Palace, had already gathered many cultivators above the True Self Realm. Now, nearly all high-tier cultivators of the East Continent have begun gathering in Jiangzhou.

You could say, even during the East Profound Grand Competition, there were never so many high-tier cultivators gathered in one state!
