Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 737: Chapter 531: Spiritual Worm

When Shi Hao heard from Chen Zhixing that he couldn’t go home, his heart was shattered!

Wasn’t it agreed that they were going out for an adventure? How did it turn into him settling down in the Cosmic Realm?

If he settles here.

What about the senior brothers and junior brothers at home!

What about the animals on Ziwei Mountain with no one to care for them!

What if the Master’s wife, Master’s father, and Master’s mother miss him!

Those two confidantes in the Celestial Break Mountain Range.....

What? You say that if Shi Hao doesn’t return, those two confidantes will marry someone else before long?

Then it’s fine.

Not feeling at all like a green hat was about to be put on his head, Shi Hao, after hearing Chen Zhixing’s words, became listless, seeming languid the whole day.

Even with Zhang Wen by his side repeatedly reminding Shi Hao not to forget their agreement, saying they had agreed to ask the Star Venerable to help clear the issues after personality fusion, Shi Hao, you can’t renege on it.

After being reminded several times, Shi Hao sluggishly uttered an ’oh,’ and went to look for Chen Zhixing with a sigh and drooping head.

Very unmotivated.

So then.

"Master, do me a favor, Zhang Wen has a worm in his brain, could you help him take the worm out?"

"A worm?"

"Yes, a worm."

The master and disciple exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned their gaze to Zhang Wen, who was tagging along but stopped at the door too afraid to enter.

Zhang Wen: "..."

You’re the one with a worm in your brain! I was possessed by a tree spirit of the Cosmic Realm!

Thinking sarcastically like this in his heart, of course, Zhang Wen wouldn’t say it out loud.

He dared not.

So facing Chen Zhixing’s gaze, Zhang Wen could only awkwardly laugh and say, "Star Venerable, Brother Shi was just joking, I was unlucky when I arrived at the Cosmic Realm and got seriously injured, and then a tree spirit of this realm took advantage, and it seems that the tree spirit drilled something into my brain.... Star Venerable, could you take a look?"

To let Chen Zhixing take a look?

There was nothing for Chen Zhixing to look at.

Silently rolling his eyes inwardly and complaining about how the beings of the Cosmic Realm are so willing to merge with outside life forms, Chen Zhixing then released his divine sense and enveloped Zhang Wen.

A moment later, Chen Zhixing let out a light ’hmm.’

Seeing this, Zhang Wen hurriedly spoke: "Star Venerable, did you find the problem?"

"Sort of."

Chen Zhixing shook his head, then a faint starlight appeared at his fingertip as he pointed at Zhang Wen’s forehead.

A moment later, to Zhang Wen’s surprise and delight, and in the face of Shi Hao’s expression of ’I told you there was a worm in your brain,’ Chen Zhixing pulled out a caterpillar-shaped will from Zhang Wen’s sea of consciousness and began to toy with it in his hand.

"What is this, a will that’s not of Golden Nature yet not subject to the realm spirit’s summon of the Cosmic Realm?"

"Star Venerable, what are you saying...."

"Nothing." Casually pocketing the caterpillar, Chen Zhixing then waved Zhang Wen off: "The problem is solved. That thing was hiding in your sea of consciousness, affecting your subconscious assimilation, but now it’s removed."

Saying this, Chen Zhixing no longer looked at Zhang Wen, his intention to send him off was quite obvious.

Chen Zhixing didn’t care. To him, it was just removing a worm from someone’s brain. This consciousness-type worm, unlike a deeply fused Divine Format, doesn’t carry the Power of Laws, nor did it truly merge with Zhang Wen’s consciousness, it was more parasitic, easily removed.

But Zhang Wen couldn’t accept it!

You must know that this worm had taken root in his brain for over a year, being a persistent worry during that time. Now that this worry was so easily removed by Chen Zhixing, even though the Star Venerable said it himself..... Zhang Wen had no peace of mind!!!

Conflicted, hesitant, he pondered for a long time before blurting out: "Star Venerable, maybe take another look. I coexisted with this thing for quite a while, now that it’s removed, should I perhaps eat something to replenish myself, or maybe take some time off to recuperate at home?"

"Eat to replenish? Recuperate?"

Hit by a cascade of questions, Chen Zhixing looked at Zhang Wen’s disgruntled expression and said speechlessly: "Relax, when I say it’s eradicated, it’s truly eradicated. This spiritual worm didn’t really take root in your sea of consciousness, likely it was incapable, or its method was incomplete. This thing caused only a slight sway of your thoughts, posing no real threat to you. As for recuperating..... you’ve reached the Nirvana Realm. What kind of recuperation would benefit you? Would I need to find some Golden Nature for you to replenish yourself?"

Zhang Wen was speechless.

Things seemingly indeed were as this Star Venerable said.

So.

He, was genuinely, liberated?

...

Zhang Wen left with a head full of frustration, feeling that this journey with Shi Hao was a bit strange. Not only did Chen Zhixing differ from what he imagined the Demon Venerable to be, but the way his problem was handled seemed too frivolous.

After Zhang Wen left.

Back at Chen Zhixing’s place, Shi Hao, lounging lazily on a chair, spoke up:

"Master, isn’t he kind of dumb? It was just a worm crawling into his brain, yet he worried about it for so long."

"Dumb?" Chen Zhixing didn’t look at Shi Hao, but instead took out the ’caterpillar’ condensed from the tree spirit’s life essence and played with it: "Not too bad; this thing isn’t a threat in my hands, but for both you and Zhang Wen now, it was a decent-sized problem. If left unchecked to develop in Zhang Wen’s brain, perhaps in three to five years, Zhang Wen would have become a puppet controlled by it."
