Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 736: Chapter 530: Unlucky Shi Hao_2

It seems like the fate of the former is much better than that of the latter.

But in the end, both are the same.

How can one who has fused with the divine format of a world leave that world?

Just like those Taoist Lords of the Celestial Profound Realm, has anyone ever heard of such a Lord leaving the Spirit Realm, leaving the Celestial Profound, to travel to the outside world?

Is it because they don’t want to?

It’s because they can’t!

Fusing with the divine format essentially binds them to this world, not to mention leaving this realm; if something goes wrong in this realm in the future, they would also suffer greatly, or even die with it!

Don’t you see, in the past, those foolish gods of the Cosmic Realm were coaxed into cutting down the root World Tree of their own realm, resulting in none of them surviving, and those gods who should have had hopes of resurrection have still not come back to life to this day.

As for that Sky God, though he had flown out of the Cosmic World several times and reached other worlds, he ultimately chose to return to the Cosmic Realm.

Even a rebel like the Sky God cannot leave the Cosmic Realm for long!

This is the downside of having acquired a divine format or other power belonging to a world.

This includes Chen Zhixing himself!

Possessing the position of Star Monarch Taoist Lord, if he chooses to enter the Spirit Realm in the Celestial Profound Realm, then he would be tightly bound by the rules of the Celestial Profound Realm, unless one day he completes his cultivation, breaks through the realm of a Taoist Lord, and reaches the other shore, otherwise, even he, Chen Zhixing, would be trapped in the Spirit Realm forever unable to leave.

Such a choice, in the eyes of cultivators like Chen Zhixing and Tihu, is a dead end!

Yet, ironically, Shi Hao, in whom Chen Zhixing had high hopes, has chosen to walk such a dead end, how could Chen Zhixing not feel despair?

"Master! Master!!!"

"Don’t call me Master!"

"Ah, not Master, I just wanted to tell you, I don’t seem to feel pain anymore...."

As he spoke, Shi Hao felt that his back had indeed been hit, but after confirming that the pain had indeed disappeared, he assuredly said, "Master, it really doesn’t hurt anymore, you didn’t hit me too hard, did you?"

Chen Zhixing: "???"

As he looked more closely, he was taken aback.

"Is this... the body being assimilated by plants and trees?"

"Ah? Master, what are you talking about, what assimilation?"

Seeing that Chen Zhixing released the grip on the back of his neck, Shi Hao quickly got up from lying on the wooden bench where he was beaten.

A strange scene unfolded, right under Chen Zhixing’s eyes, Shi Hao’s back muscles, which had fundamentally turned into a withered wood state, were reverting back to flesh.

Chen Zhixing: "..."

"The power of the divine format?"

Chen Zhixing also possessed such a power, but his was to turn himself into a flow of chaotic energy, which became a natural ability after achieving great success in Nirvana as a higher-dimensional being.

But Shi Hao....

Chen Zhixing saw very clearly that Shi Hao had not completed the transition to the Nirvana Realm, and this ability to transform himself into a plant-like entity was merely a by-product of fusing with the divine format.

This is not a good thing!!!

In fact, for cultivators with aspirations, turning oneself into a plant-like being during the Nirvana process is absolutely the worst choice!

Cultivators seek both power and longevity, and transforming into a plant-like being in Nirvana essentially means giving up the pursuit of both!

Have you ever heard of plants aspiring to be human, but who has ever heard of humans wanting to turn themselves into a plant?

It’s said that plants live long, but most plants experience cycles of flourishing and wilting yearly, and except for some trees that can grow ancient over time, the lifespan of most plants is not even as long as humans!

More difficult for cultivators to accept is the overall evaluation of the plant attribute.

Even the World Tree, which can support an entire world, was eventually cut down by the gods that grew outside it.

Slow to react, lacking a sense of time, emotionally detached, these are almost common flaws of all plant life!

This is also why most people are unwilling to transform themselves into plant-like beings in Nirvana.

Even the Five Element Wood Attribute Taoist Lord of the Celestial Profound Realm chose to preserve his human form during Nirvana, to command plants rather than becoming a plant himself!

Furthermore, Shi Hao has consumed the divine format of a leaky and risky world, the Cosmic Realm, which could walk towards destruction at any time.

What if Sos, on a whim, destroys the world and takes Shi Hao along with it, who would Chen Zhixing turn to then?

But Shi Hao has already become like this.

As his master, what could Chen Zhixing do?

He let out a sigh.

Chen Zhi threw away the vine in his hand, looked at his second disciple who had a trepid expression, and patted his head with one hand.

"Forget it, plant-like it is. At most, in the future, as your master, I will try to find a way to see if I can pull you out, it’s not a big deal."

As he spoke, even Chen Zhixing felt a bit uncertain.

Because he had never witnessed the spectacle of a world disintegrating and didn’t know if he would have the ability to save Shi Hao from such a catastrophic transformation.

Should we say ignorance is bliss?

Compared to Chen Zhixing’s pessimism, Shi Hao seemed indifferent, or rather, he didn’t understand his current situation.

Seeing that Chen Zhixing stopped hitting him, Shi Hao’s eyes sparkled, and he said to Chen Zhixing in a tone as if presenting a treasure, "Master, Master, besides obtaining this divine format, I also got a Cyan Wood Longevity Realm, which is a huge area, even bigger than our Jiangzhou territory, perhaps it could fit several Jiangzhous!"

"Hmm." Chen Zhixing rolled his eyes; did he lack such things?

"The resources are also extremely abundant, with plenty of great demons in the Nirvana and even Peak Realm, plus lots of spirit fruits and spirit grass, and disciple is still on that land.... Uh, no, that land is rumored to be a section of the World Tree’s trunk, actually the core part of the trunk, providing extremely rich wood attribute spiritual energy. Cultivating there rivals cultivating on a Spirit Stone Vein!

Ah... no, no, that section of the World Tree core trunk seems to be a massive vein!"

As he spoke, Shi Hao’s eyes were practically glowing: "Master, how about we move this Cyan Wood Longevity Realm back to the Celestial Profound, it’s such a huge Spirit Vein, with it, the Ling Qi concentration of our Ziwei Mountain would immediately rival that of the Three Great Sacred Lands!"

Chen Zhixing: "???"

Are you saying the main body of the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm is constructed from the heart of the World Tree?

Chen Zhixing’s tone revealed disbelief.

Everyone knows, in a tree, the most precious parts are its roots and heart.

Compared to these, branches and fruits are merely replaceable and transient parts.

As of now.

The dead roots of the World Tree still support the cycles of the Cosmic Realm, allowing it to function as a normal world.

A dead root system with such power.

Then what about the heart of the World Tree?

A supreme treasure!

Like Shi Hao said, the wood attribute spiritual energy it contains is equivalent to an enormous top-grade Spirit Stone, which is by no means an exaggeration!!!

Thinking again.

Over twenty thousand years ago, it was not unusual for one of the Five Supreme, the Wood Supreme God, in the Cosmic Realm to seize the World Tree’s heart after it fell and use part of it to build his Divine Kingdom.

In other words.

This unfortunate disciple of mine might not be so unfortunate after all?

Although he has been trapped in the Cosmic Realm due to the fusion with the divine format, he has at least gained unimaginable wealth.

Here, Chen Zhixing paused his thoughts and did not continue.

No matter how good it is, it belongs to Shi Hao, and material things could never sway Chen Zhixing into the disgraceful act of seizing his disciple’s property.

Not to mention seizing, Shi Hao has clearly shown his intention to give the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm to Chen Zhixing, but he still had no intention of accepting it.

After thinking for a moment.

He shook his head and said to Shi Hao:

"Since you have already fused with the wood attribute divine format, this Cyan Wood Longevity Realm will be your dojo in the future, there’s no need to move it to the Celestial Profound, and besides, your master currently lacks the ability to do so."

"Ah? Then what should we do, Master! Once we return to the Celestial Profound...."

"What do you mean ’return to the Celestial Profound’?"

"I... I mean...."

"Little Stone, listen to your master, you probably can’t go back to the Celestial Profound Realm...."
