Chapter 647: Chapter 486: Protection
Reaching the level of Chen Zhaosheng’s cultivation nowadays, even a genius begins to find it strenuous.
Or rather, the distinction of the Peak Realm, the realm between Nirvana and Peak, is where geniuses, reincarnators, and true prodigies are divided!
If you are a genius, then before Nirvana, you might progress at the swift pace of a realm or even two per year because this involves no infusion of the Power of Laws—if your talent is sufficient and cultivation resources are available, simply by seeing, learning, and acquiring, you advance.
If you are a reincarnating expert, then before the Peak Realm, you can also forcefully traverse because you possess sufficient foundation.
But reaching the ’Nirvana’ of the Nirvana Realm marks the separation point of the above two.
You may be a genius, but if you lack sufficient foundation, no matter how talented you are, how could you grasp crafting a vessel aligned with the Power of Laws? This ’Nirvana’ undoubtedly represents the second rebirth of cultivators, and if this rebirth is not perfect, your path ahead will become arduous.
Genius does not create something out of nothing.
The same holds for reincarnating experts—while they may have ample foundation, if it were truly enough, why would they choose to reincarnate and relive their cultivation?
At the root, there remains a flaw they wish to rectify.
From this, it’s evident that the ’Nirvana process’ of the Nirvana Realm serves as the threshold for filtering geniuses and reincarnators.
Genuinely extraordinarily talented, profoundly founded cultivators, possessing extraordinary fortune and knowledge, continue to advance rapidly through this realm, capturing the admiration of their peers in similar stages, ultimately climbing to the Peak of Longevity Tao Fruit.
Uh, in fact, Chen Zhaosheng epitomizes such a true genius and reincarnator!
In the span of a decade, he broke through three realms within the Peak, surpassing the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Three Great Sacred Lands. Meanwhile, Mo Qingyue, who broke through the Peak before him, remains at the Peak Third Layer, stuck before the breakthrough realm.
But comparisons can be daunting!
With your family witnessing an exceptional talent crossing the entire Peak Realm within a decade, elders like Chen Tianxiong and Chen Tianchen unconsciously raised their expectations.
Understanding you couldn’t surpass Zhixing, but given many years, shouldn’t you at least break through to Peak High-tier?
While posing such questions, they completely overlooked how few Peaks the family had produced over the years and the circumstances of previous Peak cultivators....
Such subconscious comparisons and understandings entirely detach from reality, yet ironically, they feel normal to all.
Which leaves the questioned individuals utterly perplexed.
...
Aside from Chen Zhixing, Chen Zhaosheng is undoubtedly the most talented of the Chen Family in the past three thousand years, no less talented than the first ancestor.
But precisely because of his brilliance, reaching the Peak allowed him to sense the despairing gap between himself and Chen Zhixing!
Chen Zhixing, back then, would break through a realm or two or even three within the blink of an eye. To accumulate ample foundation within one Peak realm, he even deliberately suppressed his advancement until he couldn’t any longer.
These scenes unfolded right under the Chen Family’s noses.
But when it came to Chen Zhaosheng...
Endless effort, medication, and sleepless nights have merely allowed him a realm every three years, which is an extreme indeed!
"I didn’t realize before, but now I see, the difference between Zhixing and me truly defies explanation."
"Young Master Zhaosheng, Young Master Zhixing is exceptional; even across generations, few are his equal."
"Indeed, extraordinary he is...."
Saying this, Chen Zhaosheng appeared distracted. Was he not as exceptional as Chen Zhixing?
But such words cannot be spoken in reality.
After all, his achievements didn’t surpass Chen Zhixing, and his progression relied on Zhixing’s nurturing.
Gratitude humbles a person, and no matter how much you ponder, reality renders you powerless.
"I wonder about Zhixing’s current situation; when we left the Celestial Profound Realm, it was amidst the Descent turmoil. If he resolved the troubles with the Daluo Taoist Lands, it might be time to connect with the outer world."
Expressing this, Chen Zhaosheng’s demeanor was calm, clearly not considering Chen Zhixing would fall amidst the Daluo Taoist Lands’ threats, even with the presence of one of the Three Great Sacred Lands and Saint Master Yimiao’s engagement.
This confidence didn’t arise from nowhere but stemmed from Chen Zhaosheng imagining himself in Zhixing’s place and thinking he too would find many ways to breakthrough.
Whether fleeing and living in disguise, seeking asylum under the Celestial Saint Palace, or finding other means of survival.... In the worst case, surrendering to the Daluo Taoist Lands, Chen Zhaosheng believed Saint Master Yimiao’s regard for Zhixing would ensure decent treatment!
Yes, even as Chen Zhaosheng, a blood-relative brother, after Chen Zhixing sealed Ziwei Mountain, he never imagined Zhixing would resist the Daluo Taoist Lands to the end because such is not the action of a Noble family ideologically cultivated heir.
