Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 634: Chapter 479: Complex and Confusing_2

With these thoughts arising, Chen Zhixing could only force a bitter smile.

Who even remembers anymore that his original plan was just to help his family get rid of a villain’s reputation and avoid extermination?

But how did things come to this point now?

"There is nothing that requires bothering Huayu Immortal Venerable; actually, what I want to discuss with you is simply to explore the Ancient God Realm in the Cosmic Realm together after entering it. The only reason I’ve specifically brought you here is because we are somewhat familiar with each other, there’s nothing special otherwise."

The facts are precisely as Chen Zhixing described them.

Since deciding to explore the ’great opportunity’ within the Cosmic Realm, Chen Zhixing naturally needed to make preparations in advance.

Moreover, given that news about the Cosmic Realm had been leaked, it was certain that many Longevity Realm cultivators would attempt to explore the Divine Domain, and this included not only the Three Great Sacred Lands but also other Longevity Cultivators. In fact, due to the lure of the Divine Realm, even the demons from restricted areas might make an appearance this time.

And they will certainly not act alone.

For Chen Zhixing, since the situation was like this, it was better to secure some allies in advance rather than being caught off guard when being attacked.

In this aspect, the Huayu Sacred Lands truly was a good ally.

There’s no deep-seated grudge like with the Daluo Taoist Lands, nor are they as imposing as the Celestial Saint Palace. If things go wrong, they can even call upon the first of East Profound to bear the burden.

As for why Chen Zhixing didn’t join the more reliable Celestial Saint Palace?

Hmm.

Chen Zhixing felt that if he were to travel with the Celestial Saint Palace, any incredible treasures discovered would have nothing to do with him.

Curse that Celestial Saint Palace of the Longevity Emperor!

It smashes down on whoever it targets, not even giving a chance to retaliate!

Only after understanding the Tao did Chen Zhixing realize how bizarre this First Longevity Emperor’s Weapon was!

Needless to say, at least within the Longevity Realm, no such sinister Longevity Emperor’s Weapon could be refined.

’Above Longevity, is this Celestial Saint Palace actually crafted by an Immortal?’

Having thoroughly read the ’Star Realm History Book’, Chen Zhixing knew that during the recorded ages, the strongest to appear from the Human Race was merely a Taoist Lord of the Twelfth Order, a Sword Cultivator of Primordial Spirit Nine Heavens Great Perfection, with no records of those of higher realms.

But that history book is at least a million years old.

The last record in the book was the arduous discovery of a place called Kunxu Realm by the predecessors of the Celestial Saint Palace, where they settled down.

The Celestial Saint Palace of the Celestial Profound Realm originally came from Kunxu Realm!

In other words.

Perhaps the Daluo Taoist Lands and Immortal Ascension Sect were organizations recreated by the Human Race after the fall of the Imperial Court, but the Celestial Saint Palace is genuinely ancient; to it, traversing worlds is not a rarity, and if a Sect could be treated as a living entity, then the Celestial Profound Realm of today is just another resting place for the Celestial Saint Palace.

Ancient, mysterious, majestic.

Steadfast, reclusive, profoundly rooted.

This is the impression left on outsiders by the Celestial Saint Palace.

Its majesty can be observed, for ordinary cultivators naturally feel inferior when facing the Celestial Palace.

But the depth of its foundation, just how profound it is, even the Emperor Venerable of the Imperial Court back then couldn’t fully ascertain!

One can only say, the moment the Emperor Venerable probed, the Divine Court collapsed, and he himself perished, his body even turning into a Chaos Beast that was devoured by Yimiao...

Sometimes, Chen Zhixing even pondered.

If the reason for the existence of the Three Great Sacred Lands instead of the sole dominance of the Celestial Saint Palace was because that group of people deliberately created such a scenario, otherwise, in the era before the rise of Huayu Immortal Venerable, and even in the times of Yimiao, she would not have been able to withstand a few smashes from the Longevity Emperor’s Weapon of the Celestial Saint Palace.

At least for the current Chen Zhixing, if someone were wielding the Emperor’s Weapon Celestial Saint Palace, he wouldn’t even think of retaliating.

Running is certainly an option.

But how far he can run and what price he would pay depend on who is wielding the First Longevity Emperor’s Weapon.

If it were Huayu Immortal Venerable holding the Celestial Saint Palace, Chen Zhixing feels it would be hard even to escape, only to seek revenge after his soul returns to the Spirit Realm.

In Yimiao’s case, fleeing the Celestial Profound Realm and never returning might not be a big problem.

As for others...

Thinking of this, the expression on Chen Zhixing’s face stiffened.

So, within the Celestial Saint Palace, apart from a strong figure like Tihu from the Fifth Order as the face of the force, he didn’t even know the name of a powerful figure from the Celestial Saint Palace?

Those two worthless individuals who were trapped by the Profound Turtle in the Arctic Ocean back then don’t count!

Truly speaking of strong figures, on the surface, the Daluo Taoist Lands has Yimiao, and the Immortal Ascension Sect has Li Er, so could it be that the Celestial Saint Palace, with its deepest foundation, has no strong figures inside?!

This is impossible.

But in reality, it is just so; Chen Zhixing knew that there surely existed a figure within the Celestial Saint Palace comparable to Yimiao, possibly not even inferior to Huayu. But he has never heard the name of this person.

So much so that since he transmigrated, he knew there was a Holy Master in the Celestial Saint Palace. Now he is already in the Longevity Realm Fourth Order Great Perfection, on the verge of breaking through to the Fifth Order, yet still does not know the name of this Holy Master.

"That’s not normal!" This sentence almost slipped out of Chen Zhixing’s mouth uncontrollably.

"What’s not normal?" Bai Yu beside him asked curiously.

"Bai Yu, do you know who the Holy Master of the Celestial Palace is? His name, origin?"

"...Is that what you’re talking about?" Bai Yu’s expression turned rather peculiar upon hearing the question.

"You know?"

"Of course, I know." Seeming to find it amusing, Bai Yu didn’t hold back: "The Holy Master of the Celestial Saint Palace is naturally the Celestial Saint. Every generation of the Celestial Saint Palace Master is called the Celestial Saint. You, Chen Zhixing, also being from a Noble Family, was this common knowledge not taught to you when you were young?"

"...Of course, I know the Celestial Saint Palace Master is the Celestial Saint, but before he changed his name to Celestial Saint, what was he called?"

"..."

"You don’t know either?"

"Ghost knows! That old thing in the Celestial Saint Palace has been alive since before the collapse of the Imperial Court. If you really want to calculate, this old thing has lived for at least ten thousand years, maybe even longer. The time since our Immortal Ascension Sect was founded isn’t even as long as his age. If you really want to know what the Celestial Saint used to be called before his name change, you probably have to go to the Spirit Realm and ask those ancient Taoist Lords of a similar age!"

"Over ten thousand years old? How did he live so long?"

"Just living as usual. Like me, I’m about to reach the Fourth Order; theoretically, I can live for six thousand years, and with another breakthrough, almost seven thousand years. Of course, this is just a saying, as you know, cultivators like us in the Longevity True Monarch realm, living long tends to lead to self-destruction. By my estimation, I’ll likely think of going to the Spirit Realm to experience a new life around three thousand years old, anyway, by then, most of the people I know would be dead, so there’s nothing to look forward to."

Bai Yu seemed to have missed the point, still rambling on.

Then...

"Having lived for over ten thousand years, why is he not the number one in the world, and this position falls on your leader of the Immortal Ascension Trace?"

"What number one? You mean Master Li? He was never number one in the world, it’s just that those who could beat him didn’t want to show up, and those who did got beaten by him."

"The Celestial Saint as well?"

"???"

"No, let’s calculate according to what you said, if every increase in the Tao Realm adds a thousand years to lifespan, for the Celestial Saint to be over ten thousand years old now, what realm must he be in?"

"Uh... Twelfth or Thirteenth Order?"

"..."

"Don’t ask me, I’m just about a thousand years older than you, in the Longevity Realm, I’m also a newbie like you. If you want to ask, go ask someone else!!!"
