Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 700 512: What Is Real_2

"But what?"

"It's nothing really, just some old folks in the Sect said that if we can't find Grandmaster Huayu, they hope we can bring you, Demon Venerable, into the Sect. They believe your potential isn't inferior to Grandmaster Huayu's. If we can recruit you, it might fill the gap left by Master Huayu's departure..."

Bai Yu's voice grew softer as she spoke, because, though her Sacred Lands' current state can't be described as precarious, it indeed lacks a prominent figure. Some Elders in the Sect genuinely hoped she could bring Chen Zhixing into the Immortal Ascension Sect, even if it means paying a higher price.

After all, Chen Zhixing's battle prowess is visible to all, known as the next Huayu or Yimiao, a mighty figure capable of dominating an era. If Chen Zhixing could replace the position left by Huayu's departure, it might be a good thing for the Immortal Ascension Sect.

If this could be achieved, then it could be said that two consecutive top-tier experts emerged from the Immortal Ascension Sect, making it stand out and shedding its label as the lowest esteemed among the three Sacred Lands.

"You're trying to bring me into the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands?" Chen Zhixing was stunned; this time, he was truly surprised.

"Why can't we?" Bai Yu, deciding to go all out, puffed up her cheeks in frustration, staring at him intently, as if she would burst into tears if he dared to say no!

"Uh..."

At that moment, Chen Zhixing felt a bit helpless and amused, even the matter of Huayu hiding in the Cosmic Realm seemed less important.

"So, when you discovered I wanted to explore the Spirit Realm, is that why you reacted so strongly?"

"Yes!"

"Then, why do you think I would join the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands? You know the reason Huayu left the Celestial Profound; he left, and I can't possibly choose to stay either. As long as we remain in the Celestial Profound, we are anomalies targeted by the Heavenly Dao; even Huayu couldn't endure that, why do you think I can?"

"I..."

"Wait, let me guess, you're thinking that as long as we survive this Descent, I must wait in the Celestial Profound until the next Descent before I can leave. In that case, you Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands at least have a thousand-year opportunity, during which you might even overturn the situation?"

Bai Yu: "..."

This time, she gave up completely.

How can this man be so smart!

Although it was such a hidden matter, why did he understand everything with just a thought?

The more she thought, the more annoyed she became!

"Ahhh, I didn't want this either, but I couldn't help it as those old folks insisted I try. Besides, it's not like you have to leave the Celestial Profound; Master Huayu achieved the Ninth Order and had no choice but to leave. You, on the other hand, are at a lower level and still have time to cultivate in the Celestial Profound Realm. You can think about leaving when you reach the Ninth Order!"

"So the maximum level in the Celestial Profound Realm is the Ninth Order?"

"Why, do you think reaching the Ninth Order is easy?"

"Not really."

This time, Chen Zhixing didn't try to hide, and instead released the aura he'd been suppressing for a while.

An overwhelming radiance like a falling star rose from him, an aura nearly merged with the Starry Sky, has already reached the Sixth Order, and is quite deep!

"You..." Bai Yu's eyes filled with disbelief.

"I've told you before, enlightenment isn't difficult for me. To be more direct, compared to enlightenment, accumulating mana is perhaps more time-consuming for me."

"Sixth Order... no, you're almost at the Seventh Order!"

"Almost." Chen Zhixing smiled and nodded, "Once I digest the authority over the Starry Sky, I'll probably stabilize at the peak of the Seventh Order, maybe even break through to the Eighth Order. By then I might be able to compete with Yimiao."

Chen Zhixing spoke with such ease, as if achieving the Seventh or even Eighth Order wasn't a difficult task for him.

It was indeed like that.

Though the two divine formats he obtained were merely the authority of law from the Cosmic Realm, but he was also in the Cosmic Realm, and once he thoroughly digested them, he indeed has the qualifications to truly face Yimiao!

Of course, it's only a qualification.

Whether he can really win.... Chen Zhixing is pessimistic.

"You're too unbelievable! How did you do it!"

"Same as your Master Ci Yun, devouring the divine format, isn't it what you taught me?"

"But Master Ci Yun... he.... is it the same thing!"

White Feather was rendered incoherent by Chen Zhixing's words; to her, they seemed entirely different!

"How is it different? Rules, authority, merged as one, not difficult for me, just enlightenment." Bai Yu: "..."

"So don't get any more ideas about me. The Celestial Profound Realm's limit is too low; I've nearly hit the ceiling, not wanting to live like Huayu and Yimiao did, confined." As Chen Zhixing said this, he sighed and gently patted Bai Yu's slightly lowered head, "I must leave the Celestial Profound, it can't contain me. Of course, in decades I'll return, and I'll make a visit then."

Decades aren't long for those like them, Longevity True Monarchs.

Even Bai Yu knew that 87 years later, when Ziwei Mountain re-emerges, Chen Zhixing will definitely return.

What Bai Yu couldn't accept was that her judgment back then was so good; she casually took a disciple, who so quickly surpassed her?

And at that time, why didn't she forcibly bring Chen Zhixing into the Immortal Ascension Sect?

"Alright, since everything's been said, go and find your Grandmaster Huayu. I have some matters to attend to." "...Zhixing..."

"Ah!"

Seeing Bai Yu not leaving, Chen Zhixing sighed again, his figure flickered, and then he disappeared from her sight.

...

Chen Zhixing had made himself very clear.

If Bai Yu and others can't handle Yimiao, once he thoroughly digests the Starry Sky Divine Format and stabilizes his level, he can take their place and seek a favor from Yimiao to have Ci Yun released.

But Bai Yu was still unwilling to give up, still hoping to keep Chen Zhixing.

Since that's the case, all Chen Zhixing could do was to avoid her.

Of course, his decision to leave wasn't solely to evade Bai Yu. After finding Sos and inquiring about Huayu Immortal Venerable's location clearly, Chen Zhixing made a step forward, using spatial means to appear at the edge of the Outer Ring Endless Sea.

Indeed.

On a rock here, Chen Zhixing saw the figure of Li Er calmly fishing.

Alone.

Single rod.

Beside him was already a set chess board.

Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow, speaking directly:

"Immortal Venerable has good taste, hiding in such a remote place to fish." "You've come, huh."

Huayu Immortal Venerable didn't turn his head, just greeted briefly before changing the topic, "Glad you're here, accompany me for a game. This Cosmic Realm is too desolate, I can't find anyone to play chess with." "Aren't you fishing?" Chen Zhixing asked with a smile.

"Aren't you the big fish on the hook?" Li Er replied with a smile.

"So, back then, my ancestor's agreement with you was that someday I join the Immortal Ascension Sect in exchange, hoping you'd protect my life?" "Yes, but unfortunately, that favor didn't come in handy. You exceeded his expectations." Li Er didn't deny or make excessive demands, nor did he try to alter the original agreement, just stated the facts.

Years ago, when Chen Zhixing slighted Daluo Taoist Lands' face, Yimiao didn't send anyone to chase him.

Though Chen Zhixing was indeed hard to catch, more importantly, it was due to Li Er's presence. With just one word from him, Daluo Taoist Lands ultimately decided to let Chen Zhixing go!
