Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 722 523: Star Tao Chen Family_2

"Forget it, forget it, it's just as they said, this gain is almost like something I picked up for free. As long as they allow me to move a few spirit veins, it's enough."

Yes, one could say that Chen Zhixing has almost given up hope of gaining benefits from his position as the Star Monarch Taoist Lord.

But is everything really as he thinks?

...

Celestial Profound Realm.

Southeast Sea.

Located thirty-four thousand miles away from East Profound State, on a medium-sized island covering over five hundred thousand square kilometers under the clear sky, layers of starlight are being drawn down from the firmament!

This island is called Circulation Island!

And on this island, there is also a huge Noble Family with the surname Chen!

Star Island Chen Family!

The Star Island Chen Family and the Ziwei Chen Family in East Profound State are essentially connected, both originally established by the son of Ancestor Chen Changfeng. However, since East Profound State is the base of the Three Great Sacred Lands, the Initial Race Chen Changfeng set up both the Ziwei Chen Family and Star Island Chen Family to mirror each other, to avoid the Ziwei Chen Family in East Profound State from being wiped out by the Three Great Sacred Lands, leaving the Chen Family without descendants.

This practice is extremely common among noble families in the Celestial Profound Realm. Once a family has accumulated enough foundation, they typically search for an island overseas to serve as their base.

And after years of development, the overseas branch, having absorbed enough resources from the East Profound State main family, often becomes the primary branch.

The Star Island Chen Family is no exception!

Over more than three thousand years, the development of the Star Island Chen Family has far exceeded the Ziwei Chen Family. The entire four hundred thousand population on Circulation Island are slaves of the Star Island Chen Family.

One could say that Circulation Island is an independent kingdom of the Star Island Chen Family, where the Chen Family are the heavens of the island!

With a large population, naturally, many geniuses are born. Although overseas resources cannot match the abundance of the East Profound, the vast ocean advantages the Star Island Chen Family can exploit the surrounding islands and even beneath the sea for what they desire.

If they can't find the rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures they need, they can directly exchange other resources with the Ziwei Chen Family in East Profound State.

Under these circumstances, the development of the Star Island Chen Family far exceeds that of the Ziwei Chen Family.

Even when the Ziwei Chen Family was at its lowest, the Star Island Chen Family possessed the terrifying power of one True Monarch, one Master, and eleven Peak Realm cultivators!

Unhesitatingly, it can be said that at that time, the Star Island Chen Family was the true orthodox lineage of the Chen Family!

And because of such a disparity in power, even after Chen Zhixing's rise, when the elder of the Ziwei Chen Family, Chen Tianyuan, foresaw the family's impending disaster, he brought the family's treasured Longevity Emperor's Weapon, the Ziwei Emperor Lamp, back to Circulation Island, entrusting it to the main branch here.

Even when returning to East Profound State to see Chen Zhixing, he didn't bring back the Ziwei Emperor Lamp, and by then, Chen Zhixing already had the title of Demon Venerable...

In other words, in Chen Tianyuan's eyes at that time, even Chen Zhixing, who had become a Demon Venerable, was still not as strong as the Star Island Chen Family on Circulation Island!

One can imagine how powerful the Star Island Chen Family truly is.

And today, the Star Island Chen Family is about to give birth to a third Longevity Realm member, coincidentally, this direct descendant of the Star Island Chen Family follows the Star Tao as well!

"More, more!"

"The starlight on Second Uncle's side is about to be exhausted. It's not enough to solely rely on the Ziwei Emperor Lamp to draw starlight for Second Uncle to open the complete Array of Circulation Stars!"

"Yiheng Order is ready."

"Two-Star Stone activation complete."

"Three Permanents Cultivators fully energized."

"Array of Circulation Stars, rise!"

"Rise!"

"Rise!!!"

As the Array of Circulation Stars on Circulation Island activated, the sky over the entire Northeast Sea suddenly began to change into night. A violet Emperor Lamp burning in the air in the void led and drew down the boundless starlight towards Circulation Island.

Like a torrent.

Like a heavenly waterfall.

In just a short moment, the starlight on Circulation Island, previously depleted due to Chen Tianyuan's breakthrough, was massively replenished.

Seeing this scene, many cultivators of the Chen Family on Circulation Island inwardly let out a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, the Array of Circulation Stars is most effective when paired with the Ziwei Emperor Lamp. If Ancestor Tianyuan hadn't brought back the Emperor Lamp, today's breakthrough for Second Uncle would undoubtedly have encountered many obstacles."

"Yes, the Ziwei Emperor Lamp is best matched with the Longevity Emperor's Weapon of our lineage. Unfortunately, Ancestor Tianyuan didn't bring back the technique that could summon Emperor Ziwei of the North Dipper, otherwise, our Chen Family could truly attempt to dominate the East and North Seas."

"Now that Ancestor Tianyuan has passed away and Ziwei Mountain is sealed, it is said that the Star Monarch of our generation has also gone to the outer regions. Our Star Island Chen Family may have to wait another eighty years to obtain the complete Array of Circulation Stars."

"No matter, with the addition of Second Uncle, our Chen Family now has two True Monarchs and one Master. This lineup, as long as we don't recklessly provoke the Three Great Sacred Lands, also counts as a top-tier force in today's Celestial Profound Realm!"

"Hahaha, that's true, but still somewhat regrettable. If that Star Venerable were willing to return, it would truly be a great boost for our Star Island Chen Family."

"You think too much. What kind of figure is that Star Monarch? Why would they look up to us distant relatives? They're really tight with the Three Great Sacred Lands. Just a few days ago, the Fourth Ancestor returned from the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands, saying that the Star Venerable had become quite close with Elder Bai Yu of the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands, saying perhaps someday he might marry into the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands!"

"Enough, stop being so sour. You should know things like this aren't likely. Have you ever heard of a Longevity True Monarch getting married? The only pair in nearly a thousand years was an internal match within the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands, and even with that, they only stayed together for just over two hundred years before separating!"

"That's true. I also think the Star Venerable won't choose to marry into the Immortal Ascension Sect. But speaking of it, after that first Venerable left the Celestial Profound from the East Profound, the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands does indeed need a figurehead. It's possible the old folks in the Sacred Lands might make an exception for the Star Venerable because of this?"

"It's not that simple. I heard that the last time they saw the Star Venerable in East Profound, his realm was only Longevity Second Order. Even if the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands needs a figurehead, they wouldn't disregard their rules and choose someone who is just Longevity Second Order, right?"

"Hah hahahaha, Second Order... who knows, maybe after this descent, when he returns, he'll be at Third Order?"

"Might even be Fourth Order, considering he could reach the level of Huayu Immortal Venerable, just not sure about his combat ability though."

"Isn't Elder Bai Yu also supposed to be at the Fourth Order level?"

"Who knows, let's not speculate. If the elders choose not to return it, it's a real pity considering this Ziwei Emperor Lamp is simply too useful. With this Longevity Emperor's Weapon always stationed, it's as if our Star Island Chen Family has an additional Longevity True Monarch skilled in gathering starlight. It's invaluable, really."

"But as matters stand, even the ancestors who chose not to return cannot change the mutual relationship between the Star Island Chen Family and Ziwei Chen Family in East Profound. It has been like this for thousands of years, and I suppose the elders wouldn't change that close-knit relationship. "

"There's really no use pitying...."
