Chapter 775 550: Outsider
Because of talent, Chen Wanhong could receive the legacy of Immortal Wuyou. Because of talent, ordinary people could receive the favor of those who are completely unrelated. Because of talent, some insignificant figures could rise directly from the bottom, and similarly, because of talent, some people could even alter the rules of the world!
In this world, the most unreasonable thing is talent.
Regarding the Sword Tao Talent.
Tihu knew that Chen Zhixing was skilled in the Sword Dao, but he truly did not expect Chen Zhixing's Sword Tao Talent to be rated so highly by Chen Wanhong.
For a moment, Tihu was somewhat lacking in confidence:
"Are you sure you're not boasting about your family's junior?"
"I wouldn't stoop to the level you mentioned!"
Chen Wanhong retorted stiffly, then switched to a smile and walked towards the city gate where Chen Zhixing was: "Chen Zhixing, I am your ancestor Chen Wanhong!"
Tihu: "???"
Looking utterly bewildered.
What kind of strange operation is this!
Equally bewildered was Chen Zhixing.
Uh.
Anyone who just intended to go out and head to the Southern Domain Alliance's base next door, to ask someone to inquire about the whereabouts of their son and disciple, and then encounter a stranger saying 'I am your ancestor' would probably be stunned for a while.
Especially when the person in front of him had a face full of smiles and a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"..." After a few seconds of silence, Chen Zhixing reluctantly spoke, "Star Island Chen Family, Chen Wanhong?"
"Right, right, it's me. It seems Uncle Tianyuan mentioned my name to you, hahaha." When saying this, Chen Wanhong looked expectant.
"Ancestor Tianyuan never mentioned you, I learned about you from other sources."
"Ah, is that so, well if he didn't mention it, so be it. No need to mention a trivial name. Come, come, come, Little Chen, tell me, as your ancestor, do you have any confusions in your cultivation recently, or are there any resources you lack…"
"..."
"..."
The two of them stared at each other for a moment, then Chen Wanhong couldn't help but scratch his nose: "Alright, if you have any issues, I really can't solve them haha."
Chen Zhixing was speechless.
Where did this oddball come from?
Claiming random relatives is one thing, after all, the identity is real, but this kind of presumptuous familiarity truly makes one's head ache. Can't we just pretend not to know each other and pass by?
Indeed, Chen Zhixing now doesn't think he has any connection with the so-called Star Island Chen Family.
On one hand, there's no need; at this point in Chen Zhixing's journey, so-called clan power is nothing but another expression for burden.
On the other hand, he's truly unfamiliar with the so-called Star Island Chen Family.
Perhaps sensing the awkwardness on Chen Zhixing's face, Ci Hong suddenly spoke: "This... Ancestor, are you seeking His Majesty Star Venerable for an important reason? If not, His Majesty Star Venerable still has matters to attend to, could we chat another day?"
Having someone around as an aide is advantageous; some things inconvenient for you to say can be said by the person beside you.
Chen Wanhong was also stunned upon hearing this.
Then awkwardly smiled and waved towards the two: "If you have matters, go busy yourself; when you've finished, I'll visit some other day."
"Alright...."
Chen Zhixing took Ci Hong and left directly.
Leaving Chen Wanhong feeling somewhat forlorn and paused in place.
An unsuccessful meeting.
Both in timing and location.
After a while of awkwardness, Tihu suddenly approached Chen Wanhong and said: "Have you not showed a friendly attitude for too long? Just now, if I were Chen Zhixing, I'd probably assume you have a mental problem."
Chen Wanhua: "..."
So exasperating!
Yet he knew all too well that Tihu spoke the truth.
Not just Tihu, if someone suddenly appeared and approached him in the same manner… Tihu himself would consider this person a lunatic!
But, speaking is one thing…
Chen Wanhua gave Tihu a disgruntled look, then stiffly replied: "What can I do, let's be clear, giving up is impossible. After having this child recognize his ancestors, I, the ancestor, plan to introduce him to the Star Island setup as well. At that time, I'll head to the Wuyou Immortal Tomb to solve the bottleneck that has bewildered me for 1,800 years."
Tihu paid little attention to the earlier words because, as per Tihu's understanding of the Star Island Chen Family, even if the two lines merge, the main control power couldn't possibly be handed over to this Star Venerable, Chen Zhixing, and even if Tihu had such intentions, given Chen Zhixing's nature, he wouldn't accept.
What truly piqued Tihu's interest was the latter sentence.
"You've finally realized?"
Tihu asked with some surprise.
You know, initially when exploring the Wuyou Immortal Tomb, Celestial Saint from Celestial Saint Palace wanted to bring Chen Wanhong, this inheritor of Wuyou, along, but Celestial Saint was refused by Chen Wanhong at that time, reasoning that the Wuyou Immortal Tomb was too dangerous, and he didn't wish to seek death.
What happened later indeed was as Chen Wanhua said; even someone like Celestial Saint suffered heavy losses upon entering the Wuyou Immortal Tomb.
Yet truth be told, the treasures within the Wuyou Immortal Tomb are genuinely abundant.
Despite being so dangerous, the Wuyou Immortal Tomb maintained its allure for Celestial Saint Palace, not to mention various medicinal spirits among spirit medicines over ten thousand years old. Some truly precious books and records containing cultivation legacies were the true objects of Celestial Saint Palace's interest.
Yes, merely some incomplete inheritance from that Immortal led to the creation of Chen Wanhua, a peculiar figure whose lifespan could be compared to a Dragon Turtle, and 'Dream Awakening,' such a top-level Great Divine Technique. If Celestial Saint Palace could obtain the true complete inheritance of Wuyou Immortal, could they open a path of cultivation in this Celestial Profound Realm?
