Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 759: Chapter 542: Pause

The pill from Sos must be given!

Even though Chen Zhixing stepped in to save some face for Sos, after Li Er said that, it became an inevitable conclusion.

Chen Zhixing’s intercession wasn’t to help Sos keep the pill, but rather to prevent the two from further extorting Sos after obtaining the pill.

Sos was clearly aware of this as well.

So before Chen Zhixing left, He mentioned that the gratitude gift this time would definitely satisfy Chen Zhixing, implying that He would give the Longevity Pill to Chen Zhixing, not putting him in a difficult position.

And as for Chen Zhixing,

Just as he stepped out of Divine Wood Spring City, he was stopped by the pair to ensure he could indeed obtain the pill from Sos.

"So, you two, why are you in such a hurry? Is the situation with that Celestial Saint really that dire?"

Chen Zhixing asked curiously. Regarding the Celestial Saint, the oldest known cultivator in the Celestial Profound Realm per his knowledge, he was indeed very curious.

"I told you before, the state of the old Celestial Saint is not optimistic. Without this pill, it won’t take long after I leave for the old geezer turned Corpse Ghost to find you."

Huayu had no habit of wasting words; since Chen Zhixing asked, he simply answered truthfully.

Yimiao nodded lightly: "Indeed, the old man’s condition is somewhat dire. Even if we really obtain the longevity-extending pill, it’s unclear how effective it will be and how long he can endure, but this counts as a bit of filial piety we juniors can manage."

"Why don’t you just tell him that as long as Celestial Saint is alive for one more day, you two can have an easier day, without having to bear the survival of the Celestial Profound Realm on your shoulders?" Li Er rolled his eyes, thinking that Yimiao’s official talk might not get through to Chen Zhixing.

Facts proved, just as Li Er thought, his words indeed worked better.

Chen Zhixing, upon hearing his words, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow:

"What do you mean, is there a world in this Star Domain daring to challenge our Celestial Profound Realm?"

"Not at all." Li Er stretched and said: "Within this Star Domain, the major powers, before our Human Race came to the Celestial Profound Realm, already respected the Celestial Profound Demon Race. Later, our Human Race successively conducted three major purges of the Demon Race inside and outside this Star Domain, leaving no Great Demons that could threaten our Celestial Profound in or out of the Star Domain anymore."

"Then what were you saying just now..."

"A thief is nothing to fear, but what if you fear someone constantly thinking about stealing from you?" Li Er looked at Chen Zhixing in surprise: "You don’t think only the Cosmic Realm attracts those Star River Giant Beasts, do you? If there are giant beasts fond of eating vegetation in the Star River, naturally there are also those who enjoy eating dirt, energy, and blood. Do you think we have none of these three in our Celestial Profound?"

"...So, can the Celestial Saint deter the Star River Giant Beasts?" Chen Zhixing squinted his eyes.

"Of course, as long as the old senior holds the Celestial Saint Palace, ordinary Star River Giant Beasts do not dare easily step foot in the Celestial Profound, otherwise, how else do you think we Celestial Profound People have lived so peacefully for tens of thousands of years without being disturbed by these Star River Giant Beasts?"

"So... was Yimiao earlier really you...."

"Yes, knowing that the old Celestial Saint’s condition was poor, I planned to take on that responsibility, but the old senior didn’t seem to take a liking to me and rejected my succession." When saying this, Yimiao’s face didn’t look very good.

Then, the next sentence from Li Er almost made Chen Zhixing burst into laughter.

Li Er, in a serious tone, said: "The old Celestial Saint’s thoughts are rather conservative, filled with gender bias. When Yimiao visited the Celestial Saint Palace back then, the old Celestial Saint directly said, ’How could the future of the Human Race be entrusted to a girl like you,’ causing her to bear a grudge until now."

Boom!!!

Just as Li Er’s words fell, he was slammed into the ground by a Void Blade as giant as a mountain.

For a long time, no sound came from there.....

"So..."

Chen Zhixing swallowed and looked at Yimiao, whose face was ashen, beside him: "He won’t be killed by your blow, will he?"

...

The inability for Yimiao to inherit the title of Celestial Saint was an almost fatal blow to her path of cultivation.

It wasn’t because her cultivation was insufficient, nor was it due to other random things, but because the old fossil, Celestial Saint, was gender-biased, hoping to find a male successor!

And precisely since then, Yimiao’s Dao Heart became unstable, leading to the subsequent rise of Li Er.

The one Celestial Saint favored as a successor was indeed Li Er.

And what’s more comical is that Yimiao wanted to succeed but was rejected by Celestial Saint, while the Celestial Saint sought Li Er hoping he could take the title, and Li Er refused.

This result, no doubt, was something Yimiao found even harder to accept.

But regardless, after these two refused, the most likely person to inherit the title of Celestial Saint became Wang Chuan, now ranked fourth, yes, an old guy even older than Yimiao and probably not living much longer.

"Wang Chuan’s position is unstable. Even if he really succeeds, it’s only a transitional phase. Whenever a promising successor appears, Wang Chuan will choose to step down and hand over the Celestial Saint title."

"Don’t look, she meant you."

"..."

"Don’t stay silent, who do you think played the biggest role in changing your title quickly from Demon Venerable to Star Venerable back then?"

"Exactly, and if you think again, where did your title of Demon Venerable even come from originally?"
