Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 657: Chapter 491: The Most Suitable is the Best

Sos said he needed some time to think and temporarily bid farewell to Chen Zhixing and Bai Yu, telling them to explore the Cosmic Realm and later revisit the topic of trade negotiations.

To this, the two naturally had no objections.

Thus, on a dark and windy night.

*Cough* *Cough*

The Cosmic Realm also has periods of darkness. However, different from the Celestial Profound Realm, the darkness in the Cosmic Realm is not based on the world’s orbit around a star, but refers to most of the time when the floating lands in the sky are rotating, creating night. Only occasionally, when these lands overlap and expose the outer starry sky, light penetrates the Cosmic Realm, creating the rare daylight.

So, on such a dark and windy night, the two of them were under a ginkgo tree...

"You know, compared to dealing with you Holy Land disciples, I prefer interacting with those Celestial Saints."

"Because they’re easy to trick?"

"No, because they adhere to rules more than you do, and their actions are singular, making them easy to predict. They don’t change their ways easily, and they don’t stubbornly persist in their mistakes once they realize they’ve erred."

"You’re dissing me! Don’t think I can’t hear it!"

Chen Zhixing: "..."

"Humph, I’m not actually foolish, it’s just that only you treat me like a dummy!" Bai Yu huffed, then burst into laughter, casting a worried glance at Chen Zhixing. "Also, don’t assume they’re truly rigid. I’ve taught similar beings in the Sect, and they aren’t as easy to trick as you imagine."

*Heh*, others don’t act that way because they fear you might kill them.... As for tricking them....

"Who said I want to deceive Sos? I’m merely pointing out some neglected realities to help him perfect the Cosmic Realm."

Jokingly, Chen Zhixing mimicked Sos’s previous action and reached out above his head.

A branch above his head wobbled for a moment, then with some effort, finally broke and fell into his hand.

Chen Zhixing slightly furrowed his brow at the sight, then relaxed.

What he just used was the Star-Grasping Technique, a simple magic akin to Mage’s Hand, leveraging the residual Star Power in the void to draw the needed item to him.

Having left the Celestial Profound Realm, he found the Star Tao Law of the Cosmic Realm markedly different from what he was accustomed to, resulting in considerable exertion.

His comprehension is already at its peak.

But even he, upon leaving Celestial Profound, finds leveraging the Power of Laws in unorthodox ways so strenuous, let alone other Longevity Realm cultivators who venture to foreign worlds, they’ll only be further weakened.

Fortunately, for Chen Zhixing, this is just a minor issue. Given time to adapt, he will soon regain part of his rule comprehension.

As for others.... Anyone who reached the Longevity Realm probably won’t have inferior comprehension... too much, right?

Shaking his head to dismiss this thought, Chen Zhixing, grasping the resin, gently pointed to the distant, ever-busy sprawling construction site, saying, "Gaining profit through deception is the most rudimentary method, only slightly better than outright robbery. For longevity true monarchs like us, the method should be benefiting others while gaining in return. This is our foundation apart from cultivation, and truly the Longevity Tao."

Bai Yu followed his direction and looked over, seeing nothing special, she pouted:

"These things were taught by the Sect when I was eighteen. Stop with the grand statements. Talk about something practical; what are you planning to do?"

"Then you clearly didn’t pay attention in class."

"Such pity, among contemporaries, I scored the highest in exams and cultivation, and I’m the only one who attained Longevity."

"High scores but low caliber?"

"Let’s have a proper chat, Chen Zhixing, don’t attack me personally!"

"Haha!"

Chen Zhixing rolled his eyes. He knew Bai Yu was pretending in front of him, not truly foolish, but intentionally showcasing her excellent side before him.

Using this method to express her weaker position, this is an instinctual nature of women. In front of someone they can rely on, they gladly do this. It’s a survival wisdom of female cultivators.

Of course, this way of interaction is also good for both parties, at least it’s comfortable.

"Since you’ve learned it, apply it in life. Take Sos as an example, his goal is to restore the Cosmic Realm, while our goal is to gain substantial benefits in the process..... Don’t interrupt me, acquiring the Divinity and Power of Rules within the Ancient God Realm is naturally necessary; it doesn’t conflict!"

"Hmm, let’s see how this big liar spins his tale!" Bai Yu made a playful face as if agreeing with him.

Chen Zhixing was speechless.

Holding his forehead with one hand, slightly exhausted, he continued, "As I mentioned earlier, since our ultimate goal with Sos doesn’t conflict, there’s a potential for cooperation. And the way to profit must be mutual gain."

"Mutual gain?" Bai Yu pouted, "When I was ten, the teacher responsible for us in the Sect said everything in this world is conserved, gains always come with losses, true mutual gain never exists. If anyone talks about mutual gain in front of us, then that person is either a fool or a liar."
