Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 556: Chapter 440: Collapse_2

Chen Zhixing didn’t expect True Monarch Yimiao to survive the pressure from the Taoist Lords.

Although he still didn’t know how those Taoist Lords hidden in the Netherworld could kill a Longevity True Monarch, he believed there must be a way.

If there really isn’t such a method...

"If not, this joke is too big!"

Chen Zhixing seemed to foresee the tragic outcome of the Three Great Sacred Lands fleeing with a group of cultivators, leaving only him and True Monarch Yimiao alive in the Celestial Profound Realm, playing a game of hide and seek with a bunch of deranged Taoist Lords.

Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Chen Zhixing looked at the two disciples gnawing on fruits under the fruit tree and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I have a backup plan. If I can’t get a result in another seven or eight years, I’ll make a run for it! As long as I run faster than the Three Great Sacred Lands, they can’t catch me!"

...

Joke’s a joke.

But life goes on.

So what if he’s been labeled as a Great Demon by the Three Great Sacred Lands, did it stop Chen Zhixing from his daily secluded cultivation?

Not only did he continue cultivating, but Chen Zhixing also had more time to teach his disciples and gained the ability to travel the world, no longer tethered to Ziwei Mountain.

When the three of them left the small mountain village and proceeded further north along the borders of the Northern Domain, the Three Great Sacred Lands finally realized what disaster awaited them if they continued to let Chen Zhixing cause chaos.

Emperor’s Peak, Luotian Hall.

The seventeen Longevity Realm cultivators still alive in the Daluo Taoist Lands were gathered here.

Each sat on a meditation cushion, forming a circle.

"Yimiao, you still haven’t caught that young brat named Chen Zhixing?"

"..." Silence was the answer.

"Sigh, since you can’t catch him, just put the matter aside for now and go to the Celestial Saint Palace to drive out that Celestial Fox first." An elder in the Longevity Realm sighed, "Recently there’s been news that the Celestial Fox has been forced to the Southern Wilderness, and now the Taoist Lords of the Spirit Realm have already sealed it off, go and assist with expelling this Taoist Evil from the Celestial Profound."

"..." Yimiao lowered her head without speaking, no one could see her expression at this moment.

Her demeanor, on the contrary, made Black Bodhi, standing nearby, unable to hold back. He stood up and angrily said to the Longevity Realm elder, "It’s not that Lady Yimiao can’t catch him, but rather she can’t find the creature’s true body. Every time the Chen Family brat causes trouble, it’s just some thought clones. We’ve dispersed them more than twenty times, but it’s utterly useless!"

Black Bodhi’s words caused many Longevity Realm cultivators around to frown and look at him with some hostility.

They didn’t like Black Bodhi.

Before Yimiao made a mistake, it was bearable for everyone considering Yimiao’s status as the Holy Master, but now, at this critical moment, Black Bodhi still dares to defend her?

Someone wanted to angrily rebuke him, but was held back by another Longevity Realm cultivator.

With a look that told him now was not the time for internal conflict.

The Longevity Realm elder, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction and then began coughing incessantly like an old ailment had relapsed, taking a long time before calming down.

"So, this Chen Family brat, not only possesses a Chaos Body but is also a Great Divine Power User."

"Naturally, if not, he would have died under Lady Yimiao’s sword long ago!"

"Cough... cough... Isn’t that even more troublesome."

As the coughing continued, a visible sickly flush appeared on the elder’s face, and he seemed to gain more vigor: "Yimiao, since we can’t eradicate it, find a way to reconcile, cough... not much to say, as the current Holy Master, you know... cough cough cough... we can’t let the situation escalate any further, we can’t afford it."

"I understand, if I encounter him again, I will make peace with him."

True Monarch Yimiao’s voice was calm, seemingly agreeing with the elder’s statement.

The elder nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

Then, amid a series of coughs, his eyes gradually lost their luster.

Until his head drooped down and never lifted again, only then did another Longevity True Monarch step forward, patting the elder’s body, turning it into dust.

Immediately, a golden light gleamed in midair, entering one of the many statues enshrined in the hall.

Only then did another Longevity True Monarch speak up.

"Yimiao, you’ve heard the Spirit Realm’s stance, upon realizing the issue couldn’t be resolved quickly, they hoped for a swift compromise, unwilling to sustain further losses."

"Yes, I’ve heard."

"It’s good that you’ve heard, in fact, everyone within the Holy Land shares the same sentiment, this incident is an anomaly, no one wants a repeat in the future. Even if you want to target someone in the future, it’s hoped you’ll be prepared before acting, unlike this reckless instance."

"There won’t be a next time, and this time I will resolve it."

True Monarch Yimiao’s tone remained calm, leaving one unable to guess her thoughts.

The True Monarchs all heard her words, some frowned, while others quietly departed.

They believed in True Monarch Yimiao.

Having survived over five millennia, the Daluo Taoist Lands couldn’t possibly stop believing in True Monarch Yimiao, this Holy Master, over ’some trivial matter’.

But, is this really a trivial matter?

"Let’s discuss how to find that Chen Family’s miscreant..."

...

Southern Wilderness.

While the Longevity Realm cultivators of the Daluo Taoist Lands were at their wit’s end, the days were equally grim for the Longevity Realm elders of the Celestial Saint Palace.

Chen Zhixing didn’t stir trouble before leaving South Island, but in the Southern Domain, they had to deal with not only the Celestial Fox causing havoc but also with the new distrust towards the Sacred Land from the various noble families after the disappearance of the Ziwei Chen Family.

Honestly, they weren’t faring any better than the Celestial Saint Palace.

"So, any word from the Daluo Taoist Lands?"

In midair, over a hundred phantom light shadows resembling fox tails twisted madly. A Peak Realm entity that failed to dodge was struck, causing its Tao Body to shatter.

"Reply? What reply could there be? They can’t even stabilize Central State and the Western Domain, and told us to handle matters in the Southern Domain ourselves."

"Damn it!"

Solve? With what?

True Monarch Yimiao stirred up a mess, causing the situation in the Southern Domain to unravel completely. From the Ziwei Mountain’s activation of the Mountain Protection Array, over a dozen noble families followed suit, choosing to avoid this turmoil for over a hundred years, unwilling to involve themselves.

Currently, the Celestial Saint Palace must stabilize the Southern Domain, with sect elders filling the void left by the noble families to suppress the spatial tears appearing in various states, while also tasked with hunting down the troublesome Celestial Fox.

In just half a month, the Celestial Saint Palace alone had already lost the lives of seven direct Peak Cultivators!

It was after much struggle that the Celestial Fox was finally driven to the Southern Wilderness territory.

"The disciples of the Sacred Palace didn’t die in vain! Yimiao must provide an explanation! If not, I’ll personally go to Emperor’s Foot Mountain to demand a justification from the Daluo Taoist Lands in the future!"

The Longevity Realm speaker’s eyes flashed red continuously, suppressing the Celestial Fox with mana while restraining his bloodthirsty impulse.

This time, too many had died in the palace.

And in the foreseeable future, more would continue to die suppressing the Celestial Fox.

With fewer people, the pressure on the surviving cultivators grew as they faced oppression from the Spirit Realm, especially when the Celestial Saint Palace was responsible for sealing the space rifts in the Southern Domain, meaning the responsibility to provide ’food’ for those Golden Natures and Taoist Lords fell on these Longevity True Monarchs.

They could distinctly feel their ’Spirit Gods’ being constantly devoured, losing over a month’s worth of life span with each passing day.

Who knows the extent of hatred towards True Monarch Yimiao in the Celestial Saint Palace already!

"Enough talk. Even if you don’t trouble them, I’m going to Emperor’s Foot Mountain to demand an explanation, but for now, focus on dealing with this Taoist Evil, so we can suppress it soon, reducing our losses and making the next hundred years a bit more bearable..."
