Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 708: Chapter 516: Stone Race_2

"Later... that person died?"

"Yes, he died. After living for fourteen thousand years, he still succumbed to the troubles of aging and frailty. Actually, at that time I hoped to provide him with some World Tree Origin to help him live a bit longer, but he refused."

As he spoke, a hint of sadness actually flashed across Sos’ face, as if he genuinely regretted the passing of his former friend.

Likewise, it was He who watched indifferently as His friend’s bloodline was wiped out in the Cosmic Realm.

This is the friendship of deities.

"Then..." In Chen Zhixing’s heart, a thought had already begun to form.

"Then what?"

"Then, are you sure all the Stone Race people have truly died out? Or rather, are you sure the Stone Race people you’ve seen are all that there are in this nearby starry sea?"

In fact, Chen Zhixing also knew this question was in vain.

Because the distance between worlds is not static and unchanging as ordinary people imagine. Take the Celestial Profound Realm as an example: as a medium-sized world, the Celestial Profound Realm races through the star sea at nearly a thousand miles per second, rather than remaining motionless in one place as common sense might suggest.

It is precisely because of this movement that the Celestial Profound Realm can encounter different worlds in the starry sea, inadvertently leading to the process of descent.

Thus, in the endless starry sea, the encounter of two worlds is an event that can be anticipated but not demanded. To control this process, one would have to map the surrounding star sea or accumulate experience over a long time; otherwise, it is beyond the reach of normal beings.

However, Chen Zhixing felt that with the Stone Race’s power, it should be achievable.

Otherwise, this would just be too much of a coincidence.

Both the timing and the location were too coincidental, so much so that Chen Zhixing had to contemplate whether the Stone Race of the Cosmic Realm might be the ancestors of the Stone Race in the Celestial Profound Realm, and whether these Stone Race people might have fled to the Celestial Profound Realm to escape the dangers of the Cosmic Realm.

’Wait, no, I remember someone mentioned to me before that the Stone Race... could it really be like that?’

So, Chen Zhixing focused his gaze on Sos, hoping for an answer from Him.

Unexpectedly, facing Chen Zhixing’s gaze, Sos shook his head.

"I don’t know. After Shi Lin’s death, I stopped paying much attention to the Stone Race."

"Alright,"

Seeing that he couldn’t get an answer from Sos, Chen Zhixing had no choice but to give up.

With a bitter smile in his heart, he realized that without sufficient inheritance, it was incredibly difficult to uncover the truth of events from thousands of years ago.

However, Sos’ words next took Chen Zhixing by surprise.

"My friend, if you are truly interested in the Stone Race, I have some records about them in my study that you can take and read. I’ve heard that the Stone Race’s cultivation system is similar to your Celestial Profound Realm, although seemingly with a higher upper limit. The strongest cultivation technique, the ’Nine Revolutions Celestial Burial Scripture’, is a peculiar book that can be cultivated to the Earth Immortal Realm. If you reach a bottleneck in your cultivation without finding other clues, perhaps you could search for the Stone Race’s ancient lands in the starry sky. There should be some subsequent cultivation techniques there that you could learn from."

"The ancestral land of the Stone Race, that sounds promising?"

"Yes, at the very least, they could achieve solo travel across the vast starry sea. I’ve witnessed this." Sos smiled, offering a hint to Chen Zhixing.

It seemed that He had realized Chen Zhixing did not plan to follow the Taoist Lord system of the Celestial Profound Realm, so He kindly pointed out another path to one of His few friends.

"I’ll look into it when I have time." Chen Zhixing nodded in agreement, planning to visit Sos’ Scripture Pavilion after their chat, to peruse not only the Stone Race materials but also other books that held valuable knowledge for him.

"You’re welcome anytime... Oh, by the way, my friend, just a reminder, the Ms. Bai who came with you earlier seems to have encountered some trouble. Do you want to help out?" As Sos spoke, he even winked at Chen Zhixing, as if hinting this was a chance for a heroic rescue.

Chen Zhixing: "???"

"Bai Yu is in trouble?"

"Yes, Ms. Bai seems to have had some conflict with her fellow sect members. Hmm, don’t worry about Ms. Bai being at a disadvantage; the one troubling her is also a woman."

"... Qiluo?"

"That’s how Ms. Bai referred to her."

"... Sos, listen to me, you can just call her Bai Yu, and call me Chen Zhixing or simply Zhixing, either is fine. The way you refer to us is really odd."

"My friend, your wording is a bit rude, Ms. Bai would be displeased."

"..."

Chen Zhixing covered his face with his hand and then said weakly, "What trouble did she get into... how is Qiluo giving her a hard time?"

"Ms. Qiluo wants Ms. Bai to hunt a Water Demi-God and seize their Divine Format. Hmm, this Demi-God is a Snake God, active in the waters two thousand meters deep in the Endless Sea. In my opinion, this is a very challenging task for Ms. Bai."

"Uh... just ignore it, let her deal with it herself."

"Did I underestimate Ms. Bai?"

"More or less, she has an Immortal Ship, going underwater is an easy task for her."

"Then why are the two of them fighting?"

"You ask me, who am I supposed to ask!"

...

Chen Zhixing decided not to interfere with the internal affairs of the Immortal Ascension Sect.

With Huayu overseeing things in the Cosmic Realm, as long as the members of the Immortal Ascension Sect don’t bring trouble upon themselves, there shouldn’t be any major issues.

Ci Yun just brought it upon himself.....

Chen Zhixing wasn’t the only one who thought this way. Even those who knew about the incident between Ci Yun and True Monarch Yimiao, like Qiluo, shared the same sentiments.

If you don’t court death, you won’t die.

Of course, that’s easier said than done, but necessary help must still be provided.

Just like now.

Faced with the interrogation from a group of True Monarchs from the Immortal Ascension Sect, True Monarch Yimiao sneered and presented them with a series of conditions, promising that if Qiluo, Bai Yu, and others fulfilled her requirements, she would return Ci Yun to them.

The Elders of the Immortal Ascension Sect were helpless in this matter.

It’s not that they couldn’t defeat Yimiao even if they joined forces, but rather... why on earth should they fight this elite expert just for Ci Yun?

What kind of grudge is that?!

They are from the same sect; there’s no reason for things to escalate to this level.

Besides, Yimiao, after all, was their predecessor, and being directed by a predecessor is not considered shameful.

Thus.

A group of six Longevity True Monarchs gathered together and became Yimiao’s muscle to collect the scattered Divine Formats in the Endless Sea.

As for Yimiao’s purposes...

In a quaint fence yard at the edge of the Central Ring Forest Sea, closest to the Inner Ring Endless Sea, Yimiao stood by a chicken coop, scattering a handful of ’glutinous rice’.

"Eat more, get nice and plump, or else I can’t explain to your sect members."

With a strange smile on her lips, Yimiao watched as the two chickens in the pen pecked at every bit of ’glutinous rice’ she threw.

Two chickens.

One is Ci Yun, who is the other?

And didn’t Ci Yun ascend to godhood? How did he become a rooster and go peck at grains?

Wait!

Is that really ’chicken’?!

"Huff!"

With a gust of wind, a pillar of fire spewed out from the chicken coop, from a ’handsome big rooster’ next to Ci Yun. At this moment, it was breathing fire, glaring viciously at Yimiao. Judging by its fierce gaze, it seemed as though it wanted to devour Yimiao whole!

"Why so fierce? You were the one unwilling to merge with him. If I hadn’t temporarily transformed you into this state with this split technique, you both might have perished together by now! Would you even have the ability to eat grains here?"

With a smiling remark, Yimiao genuinely marveled inwardly.

How clever she was, to think of forcibly merging two wills, then re-splitting them into two ’transfigured creatures’.

In this way, not only was she unbothered by imperfect fusion, but she also didn’t have to worry about that fiery-tempered creature threatening her with self-destruction!
