Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 568: Chapter 446: Seeking Death_2

"Hmm, when you encounter such a good opportunity, you all didn’t grab it and run?"

"I wanted to!" Chen Tianyuan said as he spoke, fiercely slapping his thigh, and then, with a look of disappointment, he scolded, "But who would have thought my old arms and legs are useless? Even though my hand touched the Golden Nature, it slipped away again like sand, huh. Do you know? It’s like gripping a handful of sand, and when I exerted force, it slipped away....damn it!"

"Is it the incompatibility of attributes?"

"Hahaha, I wish it was that, but that son-of-a-gun Dragon Turtle looked at us struggling to grab the Golden Nature with a mocking expression and told us the truth."

"Oh."

"It said our Tao Practice isn’t enough. Even if the Golden Nature was in front of us, what could we do? The Golden Nature belonged to it. If the Golden Nature were ownerless, upon contact, it would drain our Tao Practice, leading to death. Hahaha, that old bastard also said, luckily we encountered it. If instead, it were someone else, we’d all be dead, and said we owe it a life."

At this mention, Chen Tianyuan seemed frustrated, tugging at his graying hair with disappointment.

"But I don’t think that’s it; it’s not as it said. I must be too old, too old for the Golden Nature to even notice me. If I were younger, I certainly could have grabbed that Golden Nature, right?"

"Right, if you were two thousand years younger, that thread of Golden Nature would be in your grasp and couldn’t escape."

Chen Zhixing answered with a smile, though it wasn’t clear whether it was heartfelt or mere comfort.

Chen Tianyuan believed it, so he fiercely slapped his thigh again.

"I knew it! That damn old Dragon Turtle! Sunx Thief, when you get the chance, go and snatch that old Dragon Turtle’s Golden Nature for me. I can’t stand its smug face!"

"Okay."

Chen Zhixing replied with a smile.

Afterward.

He felt quite bored.

Like Chen Tianyuan said, he’s about to die.

Initially, he shouldn’t have died so soon, even if drained by the Golden Nature, by relying on Tao Practice, he should have nearly twenty more years of life.

But the old thing desperately wanted to return this time, during entering the East Continent, further divided his already exhausted Tao Practice, after being squeezed by the Five Elements Taoist Lord, and spent over a century to buy this ’homecoming ticket.’

Currently, Chen Tianyuan isn’t utterly exhausted, with about ten more years of Tao Practice, if nothing happens, he might withstand for a year or two.

But as death approaches, the Celestial Five Declines, he can no longer continue practice.

At this moment, he faces continuous squeezing from the Five Elements Taoist Lord, with the Tao Practice being constantly extracted, he can persist for probably another month?

What’s more crucial is, Chen Tianyuan earnestly seeks death.

If not, he wouldn’t return here to Ziwei Mountain.

He’s genuinely lived enough.

"Forget it, you brat aren’t sincerely listening to me, just humoring me, isn’t it?"

"No."

"Hah, as if not. When your grandfather Chen Daoyan’s soul lamp extinguished, I knew you definitely have grudges against the family. And now, with me, this nearly dead old thing in front of you, you’re still fooling me with lies, do you truly think I’m blind and deaf?"

"Ah, you’re still strong, let’s not speak of such ominous words anymore."

"Bullshit, I know my own body, let me tell you, you brat, it doesn’t matter where I die, but once we return to Ziwei Mountain, remember to bury me in the mountain, yeah, the little platform at the tip of the second peak, I’ve been eyeing that spot for over a thousand years. When I die, remember, bury me there!"

"Sigh...."

"Don’t sigh, you little brat, you’re so young, sighing day in and day out. If others hear, they’d wonder what your ancestor did to you."

"No, you are highly respected...."

"That’s only natural. Oh, right, do you now know why I didn’t let you join the Three Great Sacred Lands?"

"I understand now."

"Good, good, understanding is good. If so, as the old man, I didn’t choose the wrong person, this life is complete!"

Saying so, Chen Tianyuan leaned back with a smile, facing the cold mountain wind as he jovially fell asleep.

Yes, truly fell asleep, didn’t die.

Just walked this journey, tired, just wanted to rest.

Chen Tianyuan sighed again, then thoughtfully, conjured a small house around the old man, transforming the rock beneath him into a soft bed.

Nothing much to be upset about.

This ancestor didn’t do anything to wrong him.

Even though he had thought before, that the elder didn’t save him when he was in danger, and had some intention of manipulating him as a pawn, these all seem appropriate.

What’s past is past.

After all, he’s his ancestor, still a nearly dead ancestor, what can one do to him, get angry?

Thinking, Chen Zhixing laughed himself.

After walking out of the little house, looking at the moon just rising overhead, Chen Zhixing uttered a sentiment.

"Ancestor, you’re right about one thing, anyone with ambition can’t join the Three Great Sacred Lands. Just for this, it’s worth honoring you."

...

The old man truly didn’t die.

Not only didn’t die, the next morning when the sun came up, he came looking for Chen Zhixing to chat again.

All sorts of things, not afraid Chen Zhixing might tire of it and leave.

As per the elder, Chen Zhixing is now a wanted criminal throughout the Great East Continent. Besides their own little corner around the house, wherever he goes, he’d get beaten up, nowhere to escape, so better stay here on this hidden Ziwei Mountain with this nearly dead old man, make do.

To this, Chen Zhixing could only smile.

But after chatting for three days, the old man gave Chen Zhixing a statement, a statement leaving Chen Zhixing quite astonished.

"Li Er owes this old man a life, he must repay."

Chen Zhixing: "!!!"

At that moment, Chen Zhixing was cooking for the old man, nearly put his hand into the fire.

The old man simply looked on with a smile, seemingly very satisfied with Chen Zhixing’s amazed expression, a little proud.

"Did the old man not tell you before, that I have a friend in the Longevity Realm in the East Sea? It’s him, owes the old man a life."

"Huayu Immortal Venerable? Owes you a life? Would he repay?" This time Chen Zhixing was genuinely surprised, really didn’t expect, nearing the old man’s death, he would reveal such a big secret.

"Why wouldn’t he repay? Would you not repay someone if you borrowed from them?" Chen Tianyuan laughed loudly: "You know what, to truly count, the entire East Profound Continent owes him Li Er, they all wronged him Li Er, but only your ancestor, your ancestor, he Li Er owes us, owes us grandfather and grandson!"

This time the old man didn’t mention Ziwei Chen Family.

"Hahahaha, you know, if the old man wanted, with just a thought, he could make Li Er retrieve a strand of Golden Nature for the old man. But I won’t, I just let him owe, let him owe for a lifetime, even if the old man dies, he must remember the debt, remember he’s holding a debt, remember someday this brat might find him to collect the debt! Hehehehe, hahahahaha...."

The old man must be going mad!

"You know, owing a debt isn’t pleasant, especially when the debtor wants to repay, yet you refuse, intentionally keeping him in debt, that feeling of internal conflict..."

"I....."

"Hahahaha, the old man knows this life is hopeless, using me is a waste! But when I’m gone, that debt will appreciate, little brat, don’t casually let him repay!"

"Uh...."

"But also don’t be like me, if you truly face difficulties, unable to solve by yourself, just go straight to him! By then, just face thick-skinned, no matter what trouble arises, he must solve it for you, neatly, thoroughly, perfectly....or else, don’t accept, understand?"
