Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 565: Chapter 445: Rules

"Are you trying to make me feel guilty?"

"You could say that. I’ve been a friend of your Chen Family for generations, and witnessing the decline of the Ziwei Chen Family naturally makes me resent you, the main culprit. There’s nothing wrong with saying that."

"The premise is that I will fail. If I become invincible in the entire world, how could you say the Ziwei Chen Family is in decline?"

"Invincible in the whole world, huh."

True Monarch Tihu was speechless, seemingly finding Chen Zhixing’s idea somewhat laughable, akin to the frog in the well, yet he felt it admirable for a young person to have such ambition. After all, he too once dreamed of being invincible in the world and has always been on this path, but the journey is long, and now, at two thousand years old, True Monarch Tihu still hasn’t seen the end of this road.

Finally, True Monarch Tihu couldn’t help but laugh, and sighed, "Youth truly is wonderful."

Looking back at Chen Zhixing’s figure, he seemed to see the silhouette of Ancestor Chen Changfeng overlapping with Chen Zhixing.

Seeing his dazed expression, Chen Zhixing frowned slightly: "In this world of extraordinary prosperity, all human emotions ultimately rely on fists to speak. If one day your Celestial Saint Palace’s Longevity Emperor’s Weapon cannot do anything to me, you can only look up to me."

Two thousand years ago, on the same Ziwei Mountain.

A seven-year-old Tihu followed his master here to retrieve the Golden Nature of Ancestor Chen.

Tihu remembers clearly that day, Ancestor Chen seemed in good spirits, seeing Tihu and his teacher coming to collect his corpse. Not only was he not angry, but he also smiled and rubbed Tihu’s head, and laughed as he said to his master: "It is your Three Great Sacred Lands’ rule to keep cultivators to collect Golden Nature, but if one day, a person emerges in this world that none of your Three Great Sacred Lands can oppose, how will you respond?"

Tihu remembers the answer his master gave was ’Seek common ground while reserving differences, and if necessary, induce with power.’

While he, still young at the time, gave a laughable answer: ’How could anyone in this world oppose my Celestial Saint Palace?’

The old man, who was about to die, didn’t laugh when he heard this. Instead, he looked seriously at the young Tihu who had just started his cultivation journey and asked:

"What if such a person truly appears?"

"Then I will suppress him myself and cut off his path to longevity!"

At that time, Chen Changfeng only smiled lightly, saying nothing, as if his gaze still penetrated through two thousand years of distance, transcending time to see today’s scene.

So, should he take action?

Oh, I’m no longer a child now. I need to consider more for my sect and also think about the consequences of failure.

Tihu clenched his fist, then shook his head with a smile.

Turned around.

Left.

Yet before leaving, he ultimately left behind a sentence.

"If you truly have such ambitions, before you reach that imagined realm, do not return to Jiangzhou, otherwise, it will be difficult for us."

...

Today, does True Monarch Tihu still have the power to suppress Chen Zhixing?

Yes.

Undoubtedly, True Monarch Tihu of the Longevity Fourth Order, renowned for his killing power, can still suppress Chen Zhixing.

But this kind of thing...

Much like he previously disparaged sword cultivators, yet he, Tihu, is actually the number one in the Sword Tao Realm today.

I know this path is wrong, so I hope that future generations won’t tread upon it, and when I see talented descendants walking towards the same erroneous path, I always hope to warn them a bit.

But if you don’t listen? And continue provoking?

Then, don’t blame Tihu for taking action to show them what it means for a single sword strike to awaken the dream of longevity!

After Tihu left.

In the mist before Ziwei Mountain, Chen Zhixing closed his eyes in contemplation.

"Did he come specifically to warn me?"

Clearly, Chen Zhixing was not waiting for Tihu.

"An interesting fellow."

Shaking his head, Chen Zhixing pushed Tihu’s figure out of his mind.

But right now, besides Tihu, what else could he think about?

His parents and family are in Ziwei Mountain behind him, unable to see each other for a century.

His son and disciple were thrown into the depths of the Northern Domain’s Earth Vein, watched by Thought Incarnation.

Enemies?

At this moment, except for those Longevity Families choosing to seal off their mountains, the rest of the world could be said to be his enemies, not worth thinking about.

What remains.

Seems to be only the recent encounters, like Tihu.

"I haven’t really studied thoroughly before, just considered Tihu to be a hard-working honest person. Now, upon review, this True Monarch Tihu is also a smart character with some methods; otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached such a position today and is even in a better situation than me."

Thinking this, Chen Zhixing smiled.

In this boring world, there must be some outstanding people accompanying him to make it somewhat interesting.

Whether friend or foe.

Chen Zhixing still hopes there will be more such people.

...

East Sea, Yandang Mountain.

This mountain sits at the estuary where the cold river intersects with the Jishui River, owning the crossroads between Jiangzhou and Ji State, and because it’s at the end of the Great Dragon Earth Vein, it’s rich in Spiritual Qi and resources, truly a wonder of nature.

Ascend high.

Look afar.

One can see a small boat coming from the deep East Sea; waiting for the boat to dock, a figure steps out, appearing in the sea of clouds atop Yandang Mountain.

Here, someone waits with one table and one chess board.

"Old Ghost Chen, you finally decided to return, huh."

"Yes, if I don’t come back, these little resources will be exhausted by the younger generation, pushing me to return and take a stroll."
