Chapter 208: Chapter 200: The Celestial Saint Palace’s Invitation!
The moon shines bright, with stars sparse, and the night is deep.
In the late night, Ziwei Mountain becomes somewhat desolate, no longer as lively as it used to be.
On a mountain path of the Third Peak.
Mo Qingyue and Chen Zhixing walk side by side.
"Time really flies, doesn’t it? You don’t feel it usually, but when you look back, the child who was just learning to speak back then is now celebrated throughout the world as a longevity prodigy."
Mo Qingyue smiled and said.
"Yes, time is like that. You don’t notice it when you’re in the midst of it, only when you look back can you see the traces of time passing."
Chen Zhixing also sighed slightly.
In fact, he has been in this world for thirteen years.
The memories of his previous life have gradually blurred.
Sometimes he even wonders if his so-called previous life was nothing but a dream.
The so-called crossing, just a dream awakening.
"Zhixing, over these years, you should have doubted my identity long ago, right? Why have you never asked me about it?"
Mo Qingyue suddenly changed the topic.
Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow, without much surprise on his face, he slightly pondered before smiling faintly: "Identity isn’t important. When you want to tell me, you’ll naturally tell me."
"Now is when I want to say it."
Mo Qingyue paused, took a deep breath, and said slowly:
"Do you know of the Celestial Saint Palace?"
"One of the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages, the Celestial Saint Palace?" Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow and asked.
"That’s right, I... I come from there."
Mo Qingyue nodded. In his imagination, there should have been a scene of Chen Zhixing being greatly shocked, but it didn’t happen.
Instead.
Chen Zhixing’s expression remained calm, without the slightest hint of surprise.
Seeing this, Mo Qingyue couldn’t help but ask in astonishment: "Did you already know I was from the Celestial Saint Palace? When did you know?"
Chen Zhixing nodded, smiling as he replied: "Yes, kind of. I had suspected it before, but what truly confirmed it for me was the True Self Thirteen Techniques."
"No wonder."
Mo Qingyue realized, then pondered before asking:
"Since that’s the case, I’ll be frank with you."
"Your performance at the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands was very impressive. All Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages noticed it, and our Palace Master thinks highly of you and wants to bring you into our Celestial Saint Palace."
As he spoke, Mo Qingyue looked at Chen Zhixing, seeing that Chen Zhixing didn’t show much emotion, he couldn’t help but smile slightly and said:
"Consider it carefully, Zhixing my brother."
"The world of the Immortal Tao Lineage and the cultivation realm... they are two completely different worlds!"
"The current cultivation realm is still stuck at the level we of the Immortal Tao Lineage were a thousand years ago."
"If you join the Immortal Tao Lineage, your talent will be truly developed!"
"That is the stage where a genius like you ought to shine and excel!"
Mo Qingyue’s gaze was intense as he finished speaking, seeing Chen Zhixing still displaying no visible emotions, his voice softened slightly as he said:
"Of course, this is a big decision that doesn’t need to be made overnight. The East Profound Domain grand competition is about to begin. This matter can also be discussed after the competition ends."
Chen Zhixing nodded and said: "Hmm, there’s no rush. If I do decide to join an Immortal Tao Lineage, I will certainly choose the Celestial Saint Palace first."
"Good! I hope to meet you at the Celestial Saint Palace someday."
Mo Qingyue smiled slightly.
...
...
The next day.
The morning bell tolled, its sound long and melodious.
A ray of morning light spread across the entire Ziwei Mountain, as if wrapping it in a thin layer of gold.
Chen Zhixing sat cross-legged on his bed, contemplating the path ahead.
Now, he possesses six Great Taos.
They are: Power Tao, Sword Tao, Spiritual Tao, Flesh Body Tao, Gravity Tao, and Flame Tao!
In the True Self First Realm, possessing six Great Taos, made Chen Zhixing’s combat strength extraordinary, making him invincible below the Nirvana Realm!
However, this also led to an unprecedented moment of brief confusion for Chen Zhixing regarding the path ahead.
All his insights into the Great Tao have been exhausted.
To continue breaking through, he must condense a Great Tao Seed never explored before!
"What should I choose for the seventh Great Tao?"
Chen Zhixing rubbed his chin, eyes flickering, deep in thought.
"Yin and Yang polarity?"
"Or the Innate Five Elements?"
Just as Chen Zhixing was lost in thought.
"Young Master, the Patriarch has sent a message, asking you to go to the main peak."
Biluo’s lovely voice sounded outside the door.
"Coming."
Chen Zhixing exhaled a turbid breath, calmed his thoughts, and stood up.
A moment later.
Chen Zhixing headed towards the main peak.
"Third Young Master."
"Third Young Master."
Along the way, many Elders and descendants of the Chen Family greeted him respectfully, their eyes filled with unprecedented awe.
Chen Zhixing merely nodded slightly in response.
After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Chen Zhixing arrived at the main hall of the main peak.
On the cold stone seat.
Chen Daoyan frowned deeply, reading the intelligence from the external world delivered by the Dark Division that morning.
Upon hearing footsteps.
Chen Daoyan closed the intelligence in his hand, placed it casually aside, and his tightly knitted brows relaxed as he spoke.
"You’re here? Sit."
"Grandfather."
Chen Zhixing cupped his hands, then sat down next to Chen Daoyan.
"Called me here early in the morning, what’s the matter?"
Chen Zhixing casually picked up a pot of Spirit Tea placed on the tea table next to Chen Daoyan, drank it down in mouthfuls, and said brightly:
"This tea is good! Where did you get it?"
"You’re not polite at all now."
Chen Daoyan chuckled: "Wasn’t it during the time I helped you settle things, when we wiped out Medicine King Valley, we found it in their warehouse."
"This is Thousand-Year Enlightenment Tea, it truly is extraordinary. I’ll have Elder Nether bring you some later."
"Alright."
Chen Zhixing grinned and said: "Though you say it was to settle things for me, in this instance we destroyed Qing State Meng Family, Medicine King Valley, and five or six other large and small forces, wasn’t the Chen Family filled to the brim with gains?"
"Hahaha, indeed!"
Hearing this, Chen Daoyan seemed to recall something, and his mood improved.
"The resources obtained from flattening Qing State Meng Family and other forces this time are enough to match the Chen Family’s harvest for several centuries!"
"Plus, with that Basic Qi Refining Method you gave me before you left."
"I’m confident that in just ten years, I can bring about a transformative change from top to bottom within the Chen Family!"
As he spoke, Chen Daoyan extended one hand, his gaze focused as he spoke:
"In ten years, I can at least make fifty True Self Realm cultivators emerge from the Chen Family!"
"Fifty True Self Realm cultivators?"
Hearing this, Chen Zhixing’s eyes couldn’t help but light up slightly.
The Ziwei Chen Family is indeed strong, but more so due to Chen Daoyan, the Netherworld Elders, and a few Dark Division members.
In reality, the middle-tier powerhouses of the Ziwei Chen Family are not that many.
The number of True Self Realm cultivators is far below that of similar forces.
If the Ziwei Chen Family can see an emergence of fifty True Self Realm cultivators this time...
Just imagine, how many of these cultivators might stand out and reach the Nirvana Realm?
Perhaps by then.
The Ziwei Chen Family will truly become a colossus, second only to the Immortal Tao Lineages!
And for Chen Zhixing, this is undoubtedly an even greater support!
