Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 730: Chapter 527: Chen Shanchen_2

The lives of the Chen Family aren’t worth much! To miss this heaven-sent opportunity because of such matters would surely bring down divine retribution!

Alas, what’s missed is missed.

Now, that child Chen Zhixing has fled to the outside world, and Ziwei Mountain has hidden into the world’s crevices, leaving only the Star Island Lineage hanging overseas. Chen Shanchen can only encourage and maintain the current situation, refusing to let the Chen Family’s name fall in the Celestial Profound Realm.

"If it weren’t for this, why would I let that child Tianheng expose himself so early? It’s not that this old one doesn’t understand the wisdom of hiding one’s talents. It’s just that in this world, if three or five years pass without news from my family, the Chen Family would be forgotten by the world. If Ziwei Mountain were sealed for a century without contact, and the Star Island Lineage didn’t stir any activity, then my Chen Family would be kicked out of the circle of top Noble Families in the Celestial Profound Realm..."

After muttering to himself for a while, the aged Chen Shanchen stared at the distant horizon where the sun was about to sink into the sea, and pounded his chest forcefully.

"No, this old man cannot fall, no matter what. I must hold on until that child Zhixing returns from the outside world, until Ziwei Mountain’s Celestial Saint achieves enlightenment, until Tianheng makes some name for himself, until Wanhong Ancestor finds his own Tao..."

The younger generation finds it hard to understand the thoughts of a person like Chen Shanchen.

To regard the family as the foundation; as long as it’s for the family’s prosperity and growth, anything can be sacrificed.

Others might find it laughable that this Longevity Great True Monarch of the Chen Family, despite being a Longevity True Monarch, is already physically weakened at just over two thousand years old. Typically, a Longevity True Monarch lives for three thousand years, and every improvement in the order brings about an additional thousand years of longevity. Under such circumstances, Chen Shanchen, who possesses the Third Order Mountain Tao, should have a lifespan of five thousand years. Yet he is already struggling against the Spirit Realm’s tearing force and is about to be pulled down.

He could be considered one of the top three most short-lived non-prematurely deceased Longevity True Monarchs in the three-hundred-thousand-year history of the Celestial Profound Realm!

Why?

Because he worries about the family, because he can’t abandon all those miscellaneous affairs, because there’s always something to worry about. In this vast ocean, it’s not as peaceful as everyone sees it. Over a thousand years, Chen Shanchen has openly and secretly acted dozens of times, leaving him riddled with scars, forcing him to consume longevity just to ease the situation.

He, Chen Shanchen, has toiled for this Chen Family all his life, and now he just wishes to see the Chen Family soar before dying. Is that too much?

Who can tell him why even such a small request can’t be fulfilled?

...

Chen Shanchen’s request was excessive.

Because he’s not the only one acting this way in the Celestial Profound Realm. In fact, nearly every Longevity Family that can be passed down has someone like him.

If all of their requests were satisfied, just imagine how chaotic the Celestial Profound Realm would become?

The only difference between Chen Shanchen and those people is that he truly saw the opportunity for the Chen Family to flourish. Unfortunately, that opportunity slipped away unnoticed right under his nose.

Compared to never having an opportunity, having potential but failing to seize it is the most tormenting experience.

Though in one point, Chen Shanchen was mistaken.

The Chen Family missed the chance to rise, and he thought it would be hard to encounter such a chance in this lifetime?

That’s not the case.

As Chen Wanhong mixed into the East Profound State and Chen Tianheng headed to the West Profound State.

In the Northern Domain of the East Profound State.

A colossal willow tree, its size unknown since it has swollen mountain-like, was trembling its leaves as it scrutinized the two relatively young lads before it.

"What did you say? Want to take one of my branches to make weapons?"

At this moment, Divine Liu was stupefied.

It must be known that even for such a willow, reaching such a degree, the branches that can be used to make weapons wouldn’t be mere twigs but would have to be some of its main trunks!

And for Divine Liu, these main trunks are akin to the hands and feet of the Human Race; how could they be given away just like that?

If not for one of these two minors growing up right under Divine Liu’s nose, Divine Liu would have already whipped these two little things with its vines, letting them experience the local customs of the Celestial Profound Spirit Realm!

"Yes, yes, Granny Tree, you have so many branches, why not share some with us? I’m planning to go on an adventure with Senior Brother, and I happen to lack a handy weapon."

Chen Moqing said casually, seemingly oblivious that his words might be problematic.

Wang Lin, watching from the side, was sweating cold.

He really didn’t want to come looking for this tree spirit!

But his unreliable little junior insisted, claiming that Divine Liu was closest to him, more than his unfortunate father, that Divine Liu was his actual granny. So when he was planning to go out, it should be expected to look for a weapon from family elders to protect himself!

Um, Wang Lin was convinced.

Precisely because he had no choice, as he couldn’t bear to stand by and watch his little junior fall here. Knowing him was the sole bloodline left by the master in this Celestial Profound; Wang Lin could never watch his little junior die!

Thus, he found himself in the current frightening situation.

Having cultivated the Netherworld Inquiry Spell to a high level, Wang Lin possessed a sufficiently keen intuition. That unusual intuition was currently warning him repeatedly, constantly telling him that this colossal presence before him was vexed! Annoyed! In front of this mountain-like giant willow, they were but mere grains, and if the willow wanted to kill them, it wouldn’t need a second strike!

In other words, if Divine Liu were to lash out, even unintentionally, there wouldn’t be any chance to remedy it!!!

In the heavy atmosphere, Wang Lin nervously spoke: "Senior Divine Liu, little junior is just hoping to ask you for a weapon for protection. If it’s inconvenient for you, I can try other ways..."

"Just need a weapon, right?"

Suddenly, the willow’s voice reached their ears.

For some reason, Wang Lin sensed an odd relief in Divine Liu’s voice.

"Well, well, kind of, Granny Tree, you could give us a weapon too. If you let me have your branches, I still have to refine them myself, so troublesome!" Chen Moqing added obliviously, causing Wang Lin to become even more anxious.

Then....

They saw a golden light slowly descending from the sky, lightly landing in front of Chen Moqing.

"Take this ’Blazebringer’. In terms of quality, it should be on par with the Longevity Emperor’s Weapon you mentioned in the Celestial Profound Realm. I’ll lend it to you for protection, it should suffice." The willow’s cool voice reached their ears again.

This time, the two reacted completely opposite!

Chen Moqing: "Wow, why is this spear black? It looks so ugly, Granny Tree, can you replace it for me?"

Wang Lin: "???"

Longevity Emperor’s Weapon? What’s going on? Is this thing casually lendable?

Moreover, he had never heard of a spear named ’Blazebringer’ in the Celestial Profound Realm.

But given the dark and profound blood mist naturally emitted by the black spear, the eerie aura nearly pulling Wang Lin into the Asura Battlefield upon contact, he couldn’t deny the fact that this spear was indeed at the level of a Longevity Emperor’s Weapon.

Then.....

Divine Liu: "This spear is the most suitable weapon I can lend to you for now, no haggling allowed."

Chen Moqing: "But it’s ugly, I don’t like it!"

Willow: "..."

After a silence that lasted about ten seconds, Divine Liu somewhat reluctantly spoke again: "It’s only temporarily lent to you, not given to you. When you return next time, if your cultivation has improved, Granny will consider a better magical artifact for you."

Chen Moqing’s eyes shone: "Granny, you have others? Can you give them to me now?"

Divine Liu: "Wait until your cultivation improves, then we’ll discuss exchanging it."

Chen Moqing: "Huh? I have to return it? I thought when I was done with it, I’d give this ugly spear to Senior Brother... Granny Tree, can I not return it?"

Wang Lin was drenched in sweat!

Can’t afford to use it! He can’t afford it!

Wang Lin hurriedly went forward to pull his little junior, afraid he’d make another excessive request!
