Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 822: Chapter 573: Great Terror Within (Part 2)

Thinking up to this point, Chen Zhixing’s mind had already begun to stall, and even the thought of pondering Daluo became dispirited.

It seemed that contemplating this type of knowledge was still a significant burden for Chen Zhixing at this moment. As long as he tried to think, the speed at which his thoughts consumed energy would increase by tens of thousands of times.

"What is this? Some kind of prohibition imposed by the world on cultivators..."

Suddenly, Chen Zhixing was taken aback.

Immediately, he swore violently as his complexion changed drastically, then he stopped pondering over trivial matters, and without a second thought, ignored the corpse that remained at the core of the spirit vein, tearing through the void directly to arrive at the Northern Domain Stone Village!

"Divine Liu! Please tell me, this Celestial Profound Realm we exist in, it couldn’t be....."

Upon arriving, Chen Zhixing immediately asked the question he had been longing to ask, the two words he hadn’t spoken aloud were instead mimed with his lips.

’Golden Immortal’!

Chen Zhixing suspected that the Celestial Profound Realm was amidst the ’process’ of a top-tier Celestial Immortal proving their path to become a Golden Immortal. Once this Celestial Immortal achieved perfect merit, the moment they broke through would be when they attained the Golden Immortal status!

The reason he continually felt intense murderous intent between conscious beings was due to the subconscious influence of a powerful figure cultivating the Golden Immortal Technique!

Contemplating this issue, Chen Zhixing realized that apart from Yimiao, asking Divine Liu was the only option.

Compared to Yimiao, Divine Liu was undoubtedly more reliable in Chen Zhixing’s eyes.

However, faced with Chen Zhixing’s inquiry, Divine Liu merely looked at him curiously.

"Why did you suddenly think to ask this?"

Divine Liu wasn’t curious about where Chen Zhixing got news of the Golden Immortal, as they had discussed it before. Divine Liu was merely curious about why Chen Zhixing suddenly thought of this and specifically came to ask.

"You know, don’t you?"

"Of course, I know." Divine Liu nodded naturally and said, "To be precise, in the Hengyu Realm, aside from a few rare continents, the remaining stars are all transformed by Celestial Immortals practicing the Golden Immortal Technique. Hmm, didn’t I mention this when we chatted casually before?"

"..."

Chen Zhixing opened his mouth, a bit stunned.

How many stars are in this sky?

Countless as the sands of a river!

So many stars, are actually transformed by Celestial Immortals?

Chen Zhixing looked at Divine Liu in a daze and pointed at the sky with a finger: "Are you serious, there are countless stars above us, each a Celestial Immortal?"

"Of course not all of them." Divine Liu shook his head, and before Chen Zhixing could sigh in relief, continued: "But close enough."

Chen Zhixing: "???

"Why look at me like that, I’m just stating facts." Divine Liu sighed lightly and said, "The stars you can see from the surface, they are all transformed by Celestial Immortals. Some are of Celestial Immortals dead after dying within the stars, but more are still living Celestial Immortals. The dead Celestial Immortals can be attracted by those who persist, slowly merging and falling into the stellar bodies of living Celestial Immortals, ultimately becoming part of their process of proving the path...."

"I...can’t quite understand. If, as you say, the stars in the sky are all Celestial Immortals, then...where did they get the components to form their bodies from?"

Actually, when asking this question, Chen Zhixing already knew the answer, but to buy time to dispel the absurd feeling in his heart, he asked anyway.

As expected, Divine Liu said, "Naturally, they come from the few ancient continents. Hmm, you could say all the matter of the entire Hengyu Realm comes from those initial ancient continents."

"So, the ancient continents are the body of the being named Great Venerable of Hengyu?"

"How could that be!" Divine Liu firmly denied, "Hengyu is Hengyu. Although strong, it’s impossible for his body to turn into a universe of such vast material. But you should understand, Hengyu, being a Great Venerable even within the Chaos Sea, the material controlled by him, plus countless years of Chaos God and Demons who invaded the Hengyu Realm and fell here leaving their Chaos Sea materials... And over these billions of years, the materials naturally transformed within the Hengyu World and Chaos Sea, these form the total material composition of the entire Hengyu World."

Divine Liu casually explained it as if the questions troubling Chen Zhixing were common sense to him.

Then, Divine Liu directly answered the matter Chen Zhixing most wanted to know at the moment.

"You guessed correctly. The Celestial Profound Realm is indeed a Celestial Immortal practicing the Golden Immortal Technique. But it’s fair to say they have failed. After all, the material they accumulated, though considerable, can’t be called much. Trying to transform into a Golden Immortal with this amount of material was never a hopeful endeavor. Currently, their state is poor, having reached the end of the transformation process, it is only natural."

"Uh...failed?"

"Failure is inevitable, otherwise how could he grow so many of you humans on his body?"

Divine Liu amusingly pointed at the Taiyang above and said, "Do you see? A Celestial Immortal truly hopeful of proving the Golden Immortal emits such majesty, completely different from the one below your feet. Only those Celestial Immortals still in a burning state have hopes of becoming a Golden Immortal in the future. Meanwhile, someone like the one beneath your feet, due to insufficient accumulation, never had the possibility of proving the path from the start. The reason they still attempt such a process is merely to try to change their life form and extend their lifespan, hoping for some miracle that could change their fate."

"What kind of miracle?" Chen Zhixing squinted his eyes at the mention.

"Naturally hoping that from the star formed of their body, beings capable of proving the Golden Immortal path would arise. Only such entities could help them through this calamity."

"Uh....."

"Isn’t this normal? Truly hopeful strong practitioners of the Golden Immortal path succeed within 10 million years using such methods, while those beyond that time without success are just individuals with mediocre talent. Using the theory known to Divine Liu, the cultivation path the cultivators of Hengyu World follow is indeed primitive and rudimentary Golden Immortal path of eternal life."

Turning oneself into a star, forcibly absorbing a vast amount of material into oneself, then purifying that energy by burning. Finally, compressing those energies into an extremely small and dense mass of matter, nurturing one’s Golden Immortal essence within it.

And this, is the system of cultivation followed within the Hengyu World.

It’s indeed powerful!

Once turned into a Golden Immortal, even if thrown into the Chaos Sea, they are almost invincible among the same realm.

Yet the number is truly sparse.

Several tens of thousands of Celestial Immortals might not yield a single Golden Immortal, and this lengthy development process makes it that no one in the Chaos Sea is willing to practice this way!

The sneaky period stretches over billions, tens of billions, or hundreds of billions of years!

Requiring dozens, hundreds, or thousands of habitable planets worth of material!

This exceedingly long stage of excessive material waste, apart from newly emerged top tier worlds like Hengyu, would be impossible to implement within other great realms of the Chaos Sea!

Of course, due to Hengyu’s current model, the top-tier powers of Hengyu are nearly boundless in might, managing to forcibly hold back the countless Chaos God and Demons of the Chaos Sea invading Hengyu World.

To speak frankly, chaos divine demons like Divine Liu came to the Hengyu World to treasure hunt and loot, not to settle and contribute!

But the problem is, the top-tier powers of the Hengyu World are too powerful, and they are truly unrivaled...
