Chapter 776 550: Outsider_2
Others aside, it should be known that the Celestial Saint Palace contains some records about cultivation, especially the 'Foundation Establishment Chapter', 'Golden Core Chapter', and 'Primordial Spirit Chapter', which are exceptionally comprehensive.
And within the 'Primordial Spirit Chapter' of the Celestial Saint Palace, there are some vague records about immortals.
Consuming the essence of qi, eternal, uncorrupted, undying, immortal, embodying the Great Tao, and transcending the Great Tao to reach the other shore, thus attaining longevity...
Well, in truth, there are not many detailed accounts of immortals within the Celestial Saint Palace, mostly vague records since even the predecessors of the Celestial Saint Palace who lived in the Immortal Realm had little contact with the true immortals of the Immortal Realm.
It seems as if immortals and mortals exist in completely different worlds.
Yet this does not stop the Celestial Saints of the Celestial Saint Palace from yearning for the concept of immortals back then.
This yearning for immortality has been passed down from generation to generation, reaching the likes of Tihu.
"I understood long ago, fifteen hundred years ago to be precise. Anyone stuck at a bottleneck for hundreds of years would want to inquire about its origins; how could I be an exception?"
Much like what Chen Wanhong mentioned, he has little desire for cultivation, merely wanting to ask the immortal who bestowed him the Great Dream Tao why his cultivation level stopped advancing at the threshold of the True Monarch Sect.
Eighteen hundred years feeling like a single day; this sensation of being trapped by a bottleneck is truly unbearable.
...
Chen Wanhong's intent to explore the Wuyou Immortal Tomb is considered a good thing by many.
Of course, if this idea had emerged two thousand years ago, or twelve hundred years ago, or even decades ago, it would have caused a great stir within the Celestial Profound Realm.
Whether accompanied by Celestial Saint, or with Li Er, or participating in Yimiao's exploration of the Wuyou Immortal Tomb decades ago, it would have greatly benefited these three.
But now is not too late either.
Although the first three have visited the Wuyou Immortal Tomb, they are now impossible to accompany him.
But that's okay.
Even though these three cannot go, the Celestial Saint Palace still has Wang Chuan to rely on, and failing that, Tihu can muster a group of Longevity True Monarchs, nearing their lifespan's end, willing to plunge into the Spirit Realm alongside him at any time.
Indeed.
Even Tihu hopes to venture into the mysterious forbidden land of the Wuyou Immortal Tomb.
But he would need to return to the palace first, resign his position, and obtain the approval of the Celestial Saints before he could set out.
Certainly.
Before that, he needs to meet with Chen Zhixing.
No special reason.
Simply because before Huayu Celestial Venerable departed, he mentioned to Tihu, then at the Celestial Saint Palace, that during his travels he would try to search the Cosmic Realm for something that might help the Celestial Saint extend their lifespan, and if he found anything, he would have someone bring it back to Celestial Profound.
And just before Chen Zhixing returned, Tihu received news from Li Er that they had indeed discovered a Longevity Pill, which Chen Zhixing has been entrusted to bring back.
A Longevity Pill that can extend a lifespan by ten thousand years!
Said to be refined from the essence of the World Tree, this Star River Giant Beast. Upon consumption, it is enough to rid the Celestial Saint of the decay miasma.
This precious item, Tihu naturally hopes to retrieve quickly and deliver to the Celestial Saint.
As for whether Chen Zhixing would hand it over, or whether he might keep the Longevity Pill for himself, Tihu believes he wouldn't.
Southern Domain Alliance headquarters.
With such thoughts, Tihu entered the place almost simultaneously with Chen Zhixing.
Upon returning, he wasn't surprised to see Chen Zhixing standing alongside Qin Yi, chatting. He simply extended his hand with a smile.
"Zhixing, long time no see. I wonder if the item entrusted by Huayu Immortal Venerable is still with you?"
Seeing this, Chen Wanhong frowned.
Item? What item?
Why hasn't Tihu ever mentioned this to him?
Chen Zhixing was also taken aback by the scene.
The attraction of the Longevity Pill is indeed intense for the Celestial Saint Palace, so much so that even someone as proud as Tihu would shamelessly extend a hand directly?
Of course, he had the thought, but Chen Zhixing had no intention of withholding it.
A casual grasp, and a palm-sized jade box appears in his hand, immediately tossed to Tihu without even glancing.
"Longevity Pill, crafted from the World Tree Heart, consuming it can extend innate lifespan by ten thousand years."
Snap.
Tihu caught it with one hand, and without speaking, transformed into a rainbow at the fastest speed and departed straight toward the direction of the Celestial Saint Palace.
Chen Zhixing: "???"
Chen Wanhong: "???"
Ci Hong: "???"
Qin Yi: "0.0"
Two seconds later, just as Chen Zhixing was thinking about Tihu's urgency, leaving right after getting the item without saying a word.
Chen Wanhong suddenly appeared beside him, grabbing his collar with a roar.
"Brat! What did you just say???"
Bang.
Chen Zhixing released his aura, repelling Chen Wanhong, while a Star Treasure Robe materialized on him.
His gaze fell on the visibly overexcited Chen Wanhong in front of him, and he frowned:
"Longevity Pill, can extend innate lifespan by ten thousand years."
He wonders what's so questionable about it.
The subsequent events exceeded Chen Zhixing's expectations.
"Ten thousand years, ten thousand years... How could you hand over such an item to the Celestial Saint Palace, you spoiled brat!!!"
"Hmm?"
"That old Celestial Saint doesn't have much time left! If he consumes your pill, that old geezer could extend his lifespan by another ten thousand years! If he lives, the Three Great Sacred Lands would continue to oppress our noble families for another ten thousand years!"
As he spoke, Chen Wanhua was pained and deeply regretful.
Having known that for thousands of years, the noble families of Celestial Profound were so well-behaved precisely because they knew that old Celestial Saint's lifespan was nearly gone, hoping that upon his passing, the grand situation in the Celestial Profound Realm would be reshuffled?
Now, things have turned.
They were about to endure till the end, only now Chen Zhixing came back with a Longevity Pill, and for the next ten thousand years, they must continue to be oppressed by the Three Great Sacred Lands, life indeed becomes unbearable!
"I don't see anything bad about it." Chen Zhixing responded calmly.
To him, while the Celestial Saint lives, he can continue to guard the Celestial Profound Realm, and when Chen Zhixing leaves the Celestial Profound Realm, he needn't worry about it being threatened.
As for talks of noble family sacred lands, does it concern him at all?
As long as he lives, if he wills, upon returning from Ziwei Mountain, the Chen Family could immediately become the Fourth Sacred Lands, one which even the Three Great Sacred Lands wouldn't dispute.
But is such a thing necessary?
Absolutely not.
After all, Chen Zhixing lacks the deep-rooted belief like Chen Wanhong's 'must have my family ascend to the Fourth Sacred Lands, or I can't rest in peace'.
No sacred land, just none.
Even upon Celestial Saint's death, if the Ziwei Chen Family seizes the opportunity to become the Fourth Sacred Lands, what of it? In the future, upon his departure from Celestial Profound, the Chen Family won't be able to hold on to their foundational land of the Star Palace; hence, the title of Fourth Sacred Lands may very well fall into others' hands, if that's the case, it would be better not to have such a title!
"You... you..." Chen Wanhua was angered beyond words.
Decades of noble family planning, and this is the response received?
He can't accept it!
Then....
"Hmm, is there anything else? If not, please leave; this is a private residence of the Ziwei Chen Family and does not entertain outsiders."
Chen Zhixing said calmly.
Chen Wanhong: "???"
Outsider?
Him?
Involuntarily, this relatively young 'Chen Family Ancestor' glanced at Qin Yi standing to the side; not long ago, this Southern Domain Alliance leader from the Celestial Saint Palace was still his subordinate.
Being stared at by Chen Wanhong, Qin Yi shrank back, then firmly chose to stand beside Chen Zhixing.
"Esteemed sir, do you have any other matters? If so, you can visit the Celestial Saint Palace to seek Master Tihu."
