Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 837: Chapter 581: Reputation Is the Foundation of Immortals

Two hundred and sixteen spirit veins?

Two hundred and sixteen pieces of skeleton!

Although Chen Zhixing knew that the Immortal Race didn’t have such a thing as a skeleton within them, upon discovering that the spirit veins he extracted after breaking through the Flying Star Realm happened to match this number, he naturally associated them.

"A bit insufficient in number, old brother, how did you manage to have the Flying Star Realm condense so few spirit veins?"

"Do you think I voluntarily practiced the Golden Immortal Technique?"

"Huh?"

"I underwent Star Transformation because, after the Great Sun formed by our patriarch weakened, our existing power couldn’t safeguard the resources controlled by my sect, and our adversaries forced all sixteen immortals remaining in our sect to transform into stars, allowing the adversaries to legitimately seize and take over the sect’s resources."

"Well, your adversaries seem to be decent people, giving you somewhat of a fighting chance. Countless years later, among your sect’s sixteen immortals, there might actually be one who attains the Dao of the Golden Immortal, and then you’d have the ability to retaliate."

"Ha... haha..."

The residual soul wandering around the spirit veins emitted a series of meaningless cold laughs, seemingly disdaining to respond to Chen Zhixing’s remark.

Cultivating into a Golden Immortal?

It’s not that easy!

The sect to which the residual soul belonged indeed had individuals with the potential to attain the Dao of the Golden Immortal, but regardless of how much potential they had, it was impossible to perform the miraculous feat of cooking without rice in a situation lacking resources. In essence, after their adversaries forced them all to undergo Star Transformation and exile, their fate was already sealed.

A typical Celestial Immortal Perfection, after undergoing Star Transformation with the Golden Immortal Technique, would have at least hundreds of spirit veins within the internal star, and in larger cases, possibly over a hundred thousand, causing the star to shine brightly upon formation like a Great Sun. Only through such a method of becoming a Great Sun can one claim to comprehend the mysteries of the Immortal!

Aside from those who can transform into a Great Sun, no other entity within the Immortal Race over billions of years has been able to attain the Dao of the Golden Immortal.

Among them, the mighty ones are not lacking as avatars of the Celestial Profound Realm type, yet they remain without hope for attaining the Dao, having to rely on the expectation that among the patriarchs or later generations, there will be one who transforms into the Great Sun, attains the Dao of the Golden Immortal, and returns to assist them!

"Good, answer or not as you wish, but as earlier agreed that if I rescue you, you need to teach me the ’36 Celestial Spirits Transformations.’ I hope, sir, you keep your promise."

Chen Zhixing said with a bright smile to the residual soul wandering between the spirit veins.

In reality, he didn’t care why the residual soul was so weak, and from beginning to end, he never intended to accompany him back to the so-called three major floating islands of Penglai. What moved Chen Zhixing about anything possessed by the residual soul was only the 36 Celestial Spirits Transformations that could delay the loss of human nature!

One’s own knows one’s own business, and in this lifetime, the only thing able to restrict him, despite his nearly unmatched talent for cultivation, was the deficiency of human nature. As long as he could resolve this biggest issue, any other obstacle wouldn’t matter much to him.

The mysteriousness of the cultivation techniques practiced by the Residual Soul Sect didn’t hold much significance for Chen Zhixing who started cultivating the Great Dream of Three Thousand Spells, as he had already acquired the technique most suitable for him. Any other techniques, no matter how great, were merely the moon in the well for him.

Moreover, the Great Dream Tao has seen Golden Immortals come forth! Such is not a random lineage to be emulated!

The residual soul seemed not to have expected Chen Zhixing to be so eager, and was slightly taken aback upon hearing his words, then flew out of many spirit veins and pointed at various spirit veins until it isolated roughly a third in quantity, saying to Chen Zhixing.

"You rescued me, and I, Futu, am not one without integrity. Just disseminating the 36 Celestial Spirits Transformations isn’t sufficient as repayment, so I have segmented a portion of the spirit veins formed by my body to you as repayment for your grace in rescuing me from entrapment."

Upon stating this, it extracted one of the best Spirit Stones from the Earth Core Spirit Vein it was housed in, inscribed several cultivation techniques into it, including the cultivation method of the 36 Celestial Spirits Transformations, and tossed it to Chen Zhixing.

After glancing over it and confirming the techniques’ efficacy, Chen Zhixing accepted it and integrated many spirit veins using his Emperor Ziwei Venerable Dharma Aspect, smiling and nodding.

"Thus, we are even."

"Indeed."

With the words spoken, Chen Zhixing departed along with the Emperor Ziwei Dharma Aspect.

He was very sensible.

Not choosing to meddle in the dealings between the residual soul and Yimiao, no matter what trades the two had accomplished out of his knowledge, had nothing to do with Chen Zhixing.

At present, his utmost priority was to go back and attempt to cultivate the 36 Celestial Spirits Transformations!

Only by mastering this technique, resolving the fundamental flaw in his human nature, could he confidently consider other matters.

...

After Chen Zhixing left.

The residual soul continued to wander among the remaining two-thirds of the spirit veins.

Yimiao, who had always remained silent, spoke at this moment:

"He likely won’t return with us to Penglai."

"Yes, I sensed the aura of the Dream Tao on him. It’s likely that he, who cultivates the Dream Tao, won’t choose my school."

The residual soul managed to spare a moment to respond to Yimiao, seemingly indifferent.

Yimiao observed with a slight frown: "You now have freedom, do you need me to find you an excellent physical body?"

"No need." Before the voice dropped, the residual soul had already drilled into the core spirit vein, and after some time its voice emerged again from within, "You don’t need to do anything extra. Just peacefully cultivate the techniques I’ve passed on to you. Now that I am set free from the Flying Star Realm, I naturally have means to control the situation, no need for you to trouble over these."
