Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 746: Chapter 535: Immortal Tao Legacy_2

"Immortal?"

"Yes, an immortal, the Wuyou Immortal, also known as the Great Dream Immortal. This Great Dream Immortal has quite a connection with your Chen Family. One of your family’s third-generation ancestors received his inheritance, with a lifespan so long it could be considered the crown of the Celestial Profound Realm."

"Who?" This time, Chen Zhixing was genuinely stunned. Did the Chen Family really have such a person? Why didn’t he know?

"Master Wuyou, Chen Wanhong, a direct descendant of your family’s second-generation patriarch, ranked ninth in the family, possessed the almost unsolvable Acquired Great Divine Technique, Dream Awakening, and was the pioneer of Circulation Island in the East Sea North Domain. The reason your family’s Star Island lineage could be established is largely thanks to the great efforts of this Master Wuyou." Mentioning Chen Wanhong’s name, a complex look flickered in Qiluo’s eyes.

Chen Wanhong was of the same generation as her. The commotion caused by Master Wuyou back then could be said to have shocked the Three Great Sacred Lands, especially since he also had an unresolved relationship with the current True Monarch Tihu. This made Chen Wanhong’s name remain unfaded even after two thousand years.

"So, this Master Wuyou is the head of the Star Island lineage?"

"Yes."

"Then is he still alive... Oh, you said earlier that he has a long lifespan, so I guess he should still be alive." At this moment, Chen Zhixing seemed thoughtful. Aside from the few times when he heard from the ancestor Chen Tianyuan that the Chen Family had a branch overseas while in the Celestial Profound Realm, he really hadn’t inquired much about this so-called Star Island Chen Family.

"Yes, according to legends, Master Wuyou has never visited the Wuyou Immortal Tomb. For so many years, that eye of the immortal is still floating in the void on the outskirts of the Celestial Profound Realm. Aside from a few powerful True Monarchs, it’s difficult for others to even approach, let alone land on the island."

"If he hasn’t gone, how did this Chen Wanhong obtain the Immortal’s inheritance?" Chen Zhixing asked curiously.

"He dreamt it, the Immortal sent a dream." Qiluo continued, her expression growing more peculiar: "What’s even stranger is that when your ancestor obtained the inheritance, the Three Great Sacred Lands had yet to discover the whereabouts of the Wuyou Immortal Island. This Immortal Island was only discovered by us a dozen years after he received the inheritance. It’s as if... it suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Not only was it undetected by the star tracks of the North Three Great Sacred Lands, but even the Spirit Realm hadn’t noticed such a vast island approaching the Celestial Profound."

You could tell she was truly curious about that immortal tomb that drifted from the starry sky. However, Huayu, as one of the few who landed on that island, remained tight-lipped, never discussing it within the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands.

This was very strange, making Qiluo even more curious. Yes, a woman’s curiosity.

If you asked Qiluo what else she yearned for in the Celestial Profound Realm, not being able to ride the Divine Phoenix to tour the Seven Continents was one thing, and not being able to visit the Wuyou Immortal Island above the Nine Heavens was another.

But now, Qiluo found both to be out of reach, so her third wish was to follow Huayu to the Star Sea, leaving the heartbroken Celestial Profound Realm.

"Seems quite good?" Chen Zhixing said as he walked towards Huayu, who was still busy.

"Hey? What are you doing? I haven’t finished..."

"I’m going to find Old Li and ask what the Wuyou Immortal Tomb is like inside. If I get the chance when we return to the Celestial Profound, I’ll go take a look."

Qiluo: "???"

That Wuyou Immortal Tomb is something you can just decide to visit?!

What?

Now that you’re at the Eighth Order of Longevity Realm, there’s nowhere in the world you can’t go?

If that’s the case.....

...

The Eighth Order Longevity Realm Chen Zhixing achieved so easily made him very optimistic about his future cultivation progress.

After hearing about the Wuyou Immortal Tomb, he never thought he couldn’t go.

If Li Er could go, why couldn’t Chen Zhixing?

Moreover, since that Wuyou Immortal was able to leave the inheritance to the Chen Family after his death, perhaps he could also receive a portion of the inheritance if he went to have a look?

After expressing his thoughts to Huayu, Huayu disdainfully cursed at Chen Zhixing: "You’re dreaming!"

Chen Zhixing: "???"

Li Er: "To accept the Immortal Tao inheritance, at the very least, you need to maintain your Primordial Yang. You kid already have a son, where do you have the chance to cultivate the Immortal Tao?!"

"I...." Chen Zhixing was dumbfounded. Cultivation requires maintaining Primordial Yang? What kind of ultra-ancient setting is this, truly inhumane!

"Why are you looking at me? Although I’ve never seen that Wuyou Immortal’s inheritance, we in the Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands have a complete record of the cultivation system. There are four cultivation techniques in total, all of which indicate at the beginning that a cultivator must not lose their Innate Primordial Yang, otherwise, at best, the heart demon will erupt and cultivation will be completely ruined, and at worst, the Golden Core will explode and result in death and Dao elimination!"

As he said this, Huayu also looked gloomy: "Do you think those ancestors from the Immortal Realm were just joking? If it weren’t for the fact that these inhumane techniques were impossible to cultivate, why would they choose to escape the Immortal Realm? Being used by the immortals as cannon fodder was just an excuse. Since they didn’t completely sever the path to immortality, since it was still passable, who would choose to rebel?

The most crucial reason is still that cultivating requires maintaining Primordial Yang. But if Primordial Yang remains unbroken, won’t our race die out? In less than several hundred years, the whole race would be thoroughly assimilated, not even a trace left!"

"I...." This time, Chen Zhixing was genuinely shocked.

Even across past and present lives, this was the first time he heard such shocking rhetoric.

One couldn’t cultivate immortality because it would lead to the extinction of the race.

But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes a lot of sense.

Everyone knows that cultivation keeps Primordial Yang, leading to a better life, then who would go have children and live a hard life?

This kind of thing, pursuing benefits and avoiding harm, is entirely the nature of life.

Then....

Chen Zhixing’s expression became strange.

"So, then my ancestor, named Chen Wanhong, is still a virgin even now?"

"If he’s not dead, then he’s still a virgin."

"How so?"

"Maybe he wasn’t content and had a fling before he died."

"....You’re right, learned something new, learned something new."

"Go, go, don’t ask me about the Wuyou Immortal Tomb. If you want to know, go ask Senior Yimiao. She knows it better, having guarded it a millennium ago and even brought that Moon Bear out of the Immortal Tomb."

Apparently, Chen Zhixing’s questions were frustrating him, so Huayu began chasing him away.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing also smiled wryly and explained: "Senior, you’re joking. You know I don’t have a good relationship with Senior Yimiao. If I go and ask her, I might not be able to ask anything."

"And you have a good relationship with me?" Li Er looked up at him in surprise: "Calling me Senior in front, but calling me Old Man behind my back. With you being like this, how can anyone have a good relationship with you?"

"Huh?" Chen Zhixing was bewildered, does this count as a reason?

"And, how am I old? Although I haven’t taken a Youthful Appearance Pill, I look about thirty, yet in your words, I’m an old man. Explain this to me."

While speaking, Li Er instinctively stroked the beard on his chin.

Chen Zhixing: "..."

He really wanted to get Li Er a mirror. With his unkempt, bearded appearance, it’s ridiculous to say he looks thirty. Most people would even believe it if he said he was eighty!

"You’re joking, Senior. You’re also a charming young man. When I address you like that, it’s to show closeness because you knew my ancestor, right?"

"Nonsense, you kid just want to insult me!"

"..." Chen Zhixing couldn’t help rolling his eyes. He’s never seen someone so hard to please!

And then....

"Never mind, since I can somewhat be considered an elder, let’s just let this slide, remember, don’t do it again." Li Er seemed to be in a better mood after being complimented as charming. Or perhaps he figured he couldn’t get any more good words out of Chen Zhixing, so he was ready to let it go.

"Then, Senior, about the Wuyou Immortal Tomb...."

"Here’s a piece of advice: don’t mess with things left by the dead. Not only is it unlucky, but it’s easy to get tainted with Death Qi."

As he said this, Li Er gave Chen Zhixing a meaningful look.

Glancing past Chen Zhixing’s silhouette in front of him.

Looking towards the distance.
