Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 581: Chapter 453: Peak Level 8

The Earth Vein Ancient Tree, like a mountain, finally fell. Its towering body lay across the great tree, almost touching the Celestial Break Mountain Range, and transformed into another mountain range parallel to the Celestial Break.

A mighty miracle.

The trunk flowed with fire, its core burning. Perhaps after hundreds or even thousands of years, once the West State is populated again, the remains of the Earth Vein Ancient Tree would become another landmark in the local people’s stories.

"Burned out, has it?"

"What a pity. This Earth Vein Ancient Tree was a treasure. I wonder if the Daluo Taoist Lands can grow another."

"Wasn’t there news about it before?"

"The news was about the Ziwei Chen of Jiangzhou. Unfortunately, that family produced a prodigy, and upon discovering Daluo’s intent, they hid Ziwei Mountain into the void. Now, without the multitude of sacrifices from Ziwei Mountain, it’ll be difficult for Jiangzhou to gather enough sacrifices to grow another Earth Vein Ancient Tree."

"What should we do then?"

"What do you mean?"

"Without the Earth Vein Ancient Tree, the Spirit Realm might draw more heavily on our Tao Practice. In the future, not only will it be hard to progress in our cultivation, it will be difficult just to maintain our current levels, let alone for the younger generation in the family..."

"Heh, since you say so, how about planting one on your territory?"

"You..."

"What do you mean ’you’? The Earth Vein Ancient Tree, when it comes down to it, is all about destroying one place’s fortune for the peace of many. If you truly want it, why not at your place?"

"Don’t forget, sacrifices are still needed. Without sacrifices, not even one Earth Vein Ancient Tree, let alone a Black Bodhi, can be grown..."

"..."

The thoughts communicated within the void paused, seemingly recalling the grand, world-shaking blood sacrifice, or perhaps slaughter, of those years ago throughout the Profound Celestial Realm.

The Earth Vein Ancient Tree is indeed good, but this kind of ’good’ should never fall upon one’s own home.

"Since this matter is settled, I’ll take my leave first."

"I have things to attend to, so I won’t accompany you all."

"Let’s go together!"

"Yes, yes, I need to return home soon too, to let the nearly two hundred years old children in the family adapt to the Spirit Realm’s pressure early..."

Seemingly afraid of attracting the attention of Daluo Taoist Lands, those who previously conversed and instructed through their thoughts swiftly left the area.

Of course, they could not just leave so easily.

Their Divine Thought extended over the East Profound State, and they had to ’pay a passage fee’ to Huayu Immortal Venerable. There was no such thing as a free lunch.

If they couldn’t pay in Divine Thought, they would have to leave a wisp of Divine Thought in East Profound State.

As for when they could retrieve this wisp of Divine Thought, it depended on when their descendants would pay this fee on behalf of their ancestors.

....

The Divine Thoughts of the Longevity True Monarchs arrived quietly, but when they left, they transformed into glittering gems, exploding into clusters of golden light, scattering throughout the East Profound State.

Their momentum was grand.

If someone ignorant of the truth saw, they might think some grand treasure was revealed.

In response, Chen Zhixing, still in a state of enlightenment, frowned slightly,

He had long been aware of these people secretly observing him, but seeing that it was only some exploratory Divine Thoughts, he didn’t bother with them further. Unexpectedly, these fellows made such a big commotion when leaving.

"Do they really think nothing of the Three Great Sacred Lands?"

Chen Zhixing did not try to intercept those Divine Thought Crystals.

Although those things are indeed treasured among cultivators and can forcibly assimilate the memories within them for those above the Nirvana Realm to prematurely replace the mysteries of the Longevity Realm, they were of little use to Chen Zhixing at the moment.

’Perhaps it won’t be long before a group of ’lucky ones’ who ’picked up an old grandpa’ will emerge on the East Profound Lands, advancing rapidly in cultivation, won’t they?’

This thought flashed through Chen Zhixing’s mind amidst his breaths,

At his current realm, he could understand what those ’protagonists’ he met before had as their cheat.

For instance, the Immortal Sword Cyan Pheasant had a Longevity Divine Thought mixed with Golden Nature left in the sword body.

And that seemingly miraculous ’Inference’ book, at its essence, was a Longevity Divine Thought Crystal mixed with Golden Nature related to inference.

The same went for others.

The most exaggerated was Li Changsheng, whose strength grew with the birth of descendants. The state he was in was not that he could grow stronger with offspring, but that he was in the process of ’reviving’ a Golden Nature lineage within him, and giving birth to many offspring was a necessary ritual in this process.

The only true surprises, not products of Golden Nature, were the Fallen Heart Flame and the small green bottle, both items from beyond this world!

As for Shi Hao.

After a moment of reflection, Chen Zhixing slowly gave an answer.

"Master of the Nine, if five external forces intervene, the only one truly deserving of the label of a prodigy is Shi Hao alone."

He had detected no Longevity thought or Golden Nature implanted by others in Shi Hao, meaning that the child truly rose like a great pelican on a windy day, transforming into a dragon amidst the storm of opportunity.

Compared to him, a freak enhanced by transmigrated cheats, that child was a true favored child of fate, born from the amassed fortune of a world!

"But even so, his growth has been driven by destiny along the way, whether it was the Divine Liu before or me now, we are all powers boosting his cultivation and assisting him... Is it the consciousness of the world or is it truly destiny?"

In the midst of bewilderment, accompanied by Chen Zhixing’s newfound understanding of the world, the Spiritual Qi over the entire West State began to form a vortex, continuously pouring into his body.
