Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 714: Chapter 519: Shortcuts Are Not Shortcuts_2

If someone can really produce it, then the person who originally looked unpleasant will suddenly become quite pleasant to look at!

"Senior, your words are indeed full of wisdom, a toast to you, Senior," Zhixing said, respectfully raising his cup.

"Ha." Yimiao chuckled as she clinked glasses with him, and a blush appeared on her face. With hazy eyes, she looked Chen Zhixing up and down and said with a smile, "Just spill it, why are you looking for me this time? Let me first make it clear, I’m in a good mood today, so don’t bring up any of those useless Immortal Ascension Sect things and spoil it."

This is just pre-emptively stopping Chen Zhixing from speaking, not letting him say a word.

"Uh..." Chen Zhixing blinked. Does Sos wanting Ci Yun’s child count as bringing up Ci Yun?

Seeing him not speaking, Yimiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, then pointed a slightly intoxicated finger at Chen Zhixing and scolded, "Get out, you filthy thing!"

Chen Zhixing: "???"

"I told you to scram. If you don’t, I’ll blast you with the Great Splitting Skill!"

As she spoke, strands of space-time rifts appeared between Yimiao’s fingers, leaving Chen Zhixing at a loss for words.

Seriously, at your age, you still call yourself a ’girl’?

Is it just the liquor talking, leaving no room for shame?

"Senior, you’re joking. I’m here to visit mainly to ask for..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when a space rift sliced toward his head.

He had no choice.

A small patch of starry sky appeared in front of him, neutralizing the approaching space rift, and Chen Zhixing continued unfazed, "To ask for some spirit seeds birthed by Ci Yun. A friend of mine is quite interested in them and wishes to study them."

"Just the spirit seeds?"

"Just the spirit seeds."

"You have friends? Who?"

"Sos."

"Tsk, that dying fool, why is he interested in spirit seeds now? Is he thinking of turning all the Cosmic Realm’s rules into spiritual objects to avoid the apocalypse, and when the world is reborn, to then scatter them with spirit beasts into Tao?"

Chen Zhixing: "!!!"

Who knew it could be played like that???

No one ever told him!

"The senior’s words make sense. However, I did not know of this prior. My current visit is really just to ask for some spirit seeds and satisfy a little appetite."

Facing Yimiao, Chen Zhixing decided to be honest. After all, he had nothing to hide this visit, so it might as well be direct.

"Hmm."

Yimiao nodded slightly without saying whether she agreed. She then lazily leaned back on the bench behind her, continuing to look Chen Zhixing up and down with a teasing gaze.

Who knows how much time passed.

The sister suddenly said, "It seems your progress these days is significant; how long has it been, yet your cultivation is about to catch up with mine."

"Thanks to Senior’s fortune, I’ve made some progress."

"Have you comprehended the Divine Format of the Cosmic Realm?"

"Senior has sharp eyes."

"Alright, this counts as a shortcut, but most people can’t use it. Those who can are too lazy to be this crafty... so, have you really decided not to return to the Celestial Profound Realm?"

"I still plan to go back once within a century," Chen Zhixing slightly frowned but then relaxed and continued, "By the time Ziwei Mountain emerges, I should have completed my cultivation of Longevity. By then, returning to Celestial Profound should be no problem."

"Complete Longevity, huh..."

Yimiao seemed a bit lost upon hearing his words.

Since her path of cultivation began over five thousand years ago, she has reached the Peak of the Seventh Order. Although her combat prowess doesn’t lose to some at the Peak of Eternal Life Realm because of the path she chose, she probably won’t reach the perfect realm in the path of space in this lifetime.

It’s quite vexing.

Though she wouldn’t say she’s jealous of Chen Zhixing’s rapid progress.

Her Peak of Seventh Order is the Peak of Seventh Order shared by the Star Sea; wanting to advance in a single world isn’t difficult for her either.

It’s just unnecessary to do so.

As long as she’s beneath this starry sky, Yimiao can wield the cultivation of the Seventh Order and the real combat strength of peak Longevity Realm wherever she goes.

Huayu might benefit within the Celestial Profound Realm and Linjie, but beyond this region, it’s questionable if he could beat her.

As for Chen Zhixing before her?

On paper, he’s about to break through the Seventh Order, but once he leaves Celestial Profound and Cosmic, retaining the Second Order is uncertain. It’s not convincing.

’Yet this guy’s cultivation pace is swift; maybe in a few years in a different world, he’ll climb to a High Order again.’

With that thought, Yimiao lazily yawned.

She felt Chen Zhixing had taken a wrong turn but couldn’t say it was entirely wrong, so she lazily decided not to trouble herself with advice.

After all, she wasn’t sure if the path Chen Zhixing chose was right or wrong. His fast progression and high comprehension might turn others’ winding paths into a swift and steady journey for him.

Yimiao couldn’t be bothered to meddle.

Thus, she casually pointed to a small cottage in the distance:

"Over there, go help yourself."

"Alright."

"On second thought, let me give you a pointer: like Divine Formats, eat less if you can; without necessity, understanding the power of laws should rely on oneself."

"...?" Chen Zhixing blinked and turned to look at Yimiao.

"Why are you looking at me? Both Li Er and I comprehended the Star Sea laws on our own. Seeing you take shortcuts irks me. Can’t I say anything to you?"

...

Yimiao’s words couldn’t be taken as a joke.

She might have meant it humorously, but she never spoke nonsense.

So since she mentioned it, Chen Zhixing had to ponder the meaning himself.

"To realize through one’s own insight, rather than devouring others’ Divine Formats?"

Leaving Yimiao’s Blessed Lands with a couple of eggs in hand, Chen Zhixing pondered.

"So, others’ realizations ultimately are others’. There’s some difference with one’s own understanding?"

Chen Zhixing thought of this too, but Yimiao’s advice made him consider more.

"People’s cognitions differ. Even if used as reference, cognitions are somewhat different. This way might advance quickly at first, but by the peak of Longevity, it might be time to pay my dues."

Chen Zhixing never thought taking shortcuts came without a price.

If a shortcut truly needed no cost to pursue, it wouldn’t be called a shortcut. Instead, it would be the main path, followed by all!

Because people aren’t fools...

"Paying a price is expected. So, for things like Divine Format, when encountered... eat them if they come by, but there’s no need to overly pursue it, go with the flow."

Chen Zhixing didn’t let Yimiao’s words deter him and wouldn’t become overly cautious.

In the end, Yimiao and Li Er’s path, even if correct, might not suit him.

Everyone struggles within Longevity Realm; there’s no ranking in truth, nor need to take advice literally—it’s mutual discourse.

However, back to the topic.

"These two eggs, are they truly birthed by a Longevity True Monarch and a Divine Format’s avatar?"

Thinking of that small courtyard where three chickens were chasing each other and these eggs born in the haystack, Chen Zhixing was speechless.

They looked ordinary, no signs of connection to spirit beasts.

Chen Zhixing couldn’t feel any power of laws within them.

"Eating these things can increase Tao Practice."

Thinking this over, Chen Zhixing felt no urge toward the eggs, intending to hand them to Sos on returning to Divine Wood Spring City.

Let the old god test the poison; if it’s effective, he could get more from Yimiao if needed.

"Hmm, wait, if it is useful, I probably won’t even need Yimiao for more since the Cosmic Realm lacks everything but not Divine Formats..."
