CHAPTER 478: CHAPTER 401: NEWS_2

The noble families, ancient races, and various royal families were all tense, which also caused the Three Great Sacred Lands to become tense, suspecting that the noble and ancient families below might be plotting something.

As for explaining things...

Is it necessary?

In the world of adults, it never matters what is said, but what is done.

Besides, if the Three Great Sacred Lands claim they have no intention of purging those below them, they themselves wouldn’t believe it!

If it’s a powder keg, so be it. The Three Great Sacred Lands are already adept at handling internal and external conflicts.

"Sigh... that’s about it, but there’s no real difference."

Chen Zhixing shook his head. After thinking everything through, he found that the situation he faced had not changed; he still needed to expand his forces and quickly achieve the Golden Nature of Longevity.

Only by having another in the Longevity Realm in the family can the situation facing the Chen Family improve.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhixing asked:

"Tree God, how soon will the descent you mentioned arrive?"

"It’s already very close."

"How long?"

"Ten years... within?"

The Divine Liu, who was secretly manipulating Chen Moqing with its tree roots behind Chen Zhixing, emitted a soft green glow. It didn’t know precisely how long, but as dimensions closed in, as a higher-level life form, it had an instinct that felt the approach of another world full of equally strong and numerous life forms.

As for the specific time...

It couldn’t be calculated.

After all, the distances between worlds, for a life form of its level, were not particularly far.

As long as one is strong enough, distances can be shortened.

Or extended.

"I see."

Hearing this, Chen Zhixing stood up, walked to his son entangled by the tree roots, and smiled while ruffling his head amid his terrified expression of ’don’t come over here’.

"Stay here, I’m leaving now, hm, I’ll bring your mother to see you in a while."

Upon hearing this, Chen Moqing struggled even more.

...

Exiling his own son, his only son.

Chen Zhixing’s actions truly shocked many people.

After his return home, not only did the Chen Family members inquire, but many noble families and even the Three Great Sacred Lands sent people to question him, as he was considered the most likely Longevity candidate in recent years.

"Zhixing, why go to such lengths, why go to such lengths."

After learning of Chen Zhixing’s return to Jiangzhou, Mo Qingyue rushed from the Celestial Saint Palace.

She was mainly sent because several Longevity True Monarchs within the Celestial Saint Palace learned that Chen Zhixing had hidden his son, and they wanted her to reassure him to avoid him turning to evil to gain power and then seeking revenge against the Celestial Saint Palace.

In truth, not only the Longevity True Monarchs within the Celestial Saint Palace but also Mo Qingyue herself felt at a loss over Chen Zhixing’s actions.

"Zhixing, I assure you, the Celestial Saint Palace has no intention against your Chen Family, nor anything against you personally. The disappearance of your ancestor Chen Tianyuan has nothing to do with the Celestial Saint Palace. You really don’t need to act like this."

"Sister Qingyue, I have no other intentions. As for that child... I just cannot teach him myself and sought a friend’s help with his education."

Chen Zhixing gave a helpless response.

Somewhat amused, yet feeling exasperated.

Mo Qingyue was not the first to come looking, and she probably wouldn’t be the last.

In fact, before Chen Zhixing’s return, the gates of Ziwei Mountain were thoroughly visited by noble families, sects, and even some lone masters. It was unclear who leaked the news, as a group of formidable figures, at least in the Nirvana realm and not lacking in Peak level experts, came to inquire if the Ziwei Chen Family had received any news or if the Three Great Sacred Lands were planning to make a move against them!

It can only be said that Chen Zhixing underestimated his influence.

Uh... you can’t really say that.

From the outsiders’ perspective, if even Chen Zhixing, the number one genius of the current generation, couldn’t protect his son, it would be more surprising if these people didn’t react.

"If that’s the case, why don’t you just bring your son back? You’ve seen the situation outside; not just elsewhere, but in Jiangzhou City alone, there are so many spies waiting for your stance."

Seeing Chen Zhixing remain silent, Mo Qingyue thought again and said, "Zhixing, tell me the truth, are you really planning to do something against the Three Great Sacred Lands?"

"...No."

"You hesitated," Mo Qingyue exclaimed. "Zhixing, don’t do something foolish. The Celestial Saint Palace truly has no intentions against your Chen Family. Moreover, you should know that it was with the help of the Celestial Saint Palace that your cousin Chen Zhaosheng was able to return to the Chen Family. The Celestial Saint Palace has not wronged your Chen Family!"

Alright then, so the Celestial Spider Organization and the Celestial Saint Palace are involved too.

Chen Zhixing wanted to retort, saying that back in the day, he almost got killed by people from the Celestial Spider Organization. But thinking that so much time had passed, he held his tongue.

As for actively revealing that he already knew about the descent?

Not a chance.

Thus, Chen Zhixing fell silent.

Seeing Chen Zhixing not say a word, this time, Mo Qingyue was really anxious.

The Celestial Saint Palace truly did not want Chen Zhixing to become alienated from them!

Especially after the Chen Family’s bold step to divide the noble families and dismantle the Southern Domain’s sealing formation, the Celestial Saint Palace intended to support Chen Zhixing, even the entire Chen Family!

If not, they wouldn’t have allowed Chen Zhaosheng to return...

"Is this about Zhaosheng’s alchemy session at the Celestial Saint Palace last time?"

"..."

"Zhixing, if you have any dissatisfaction, just speak. I know the holy land elders overdid it during the alchemy session, but those old fools with insufficient talent who have been stuck at the Peak for too long are indeed desperately crazed for pills."

Saying this, Mo Qingyue saw Chen Zhixing seem intrigued, and quickly spoke faster: "I can’t get that batch of Purifying and Warming Divine Pills back, and once those old fools have ingested it, getting it back would be difficult. But there are other pills in the Celestial Saint Palace, just right for Moqing’s nephew to build a foundation with. Bring the child back, and as an aunt, I’ll prepare a grand gift for him!"

Chen Zhixing: "..."

Oh, so Purifying and Warming Divine Pills are quite popular in the Celestial Saint Palace?

"Chen Zhixing, speak!"

"What do you want me to say?"

"You!!!" Mo Qingyue glared angrily.

"There’s really nothing, as I said from the start, I don’t know how to raise a child, so I asked a friend for help."

"Then why didn’t you ask me!" Mo Qingyue was furious! Involving a friend to help raise a child? Wasn’t she, the Saintess of the Celestial Saint Palace, capable enough!

And then...

"My friend possesses a technique that can guarantee the child’s attainment of the Longevity Realm." Chen Zhixing said calmly.

"Just reaching Longevity, who wouldn’t...?" She started to instinctively deny the claim, but Mo Qingyue suddenly halted and then shrieked: "Guaranteed Longevity?! Did you send the child to the Celestial Spider?!!!"

Chen Zhixing: "???"

This time, he was truly stunned!

His hand quickly grabbed Mo Qingyue’s sleeve as he seriously looked into her eyes and said, "Mo Qingyue, what do you mean? The Celestial Spider has a technique that can guarantee the attainment of the Longevity Realm?!!"

Seeing this, Mo Qingyue’s eyes flickered.

She seemed to realize her slip, but seeing that Chen Zhixing seemed genuine, she tentatively asked, "Not the Celestial Spider?"

"First, tell me what’s the technique in the Celestial Spider that guarantees the Longevity Realm? I’ve currently reached Peak and just want to know if there’s a key to acquiring Golden Nature."

"Zhixing, the Celestial Spider’s technique is not good for you. You should never..."

"Just tell me..."

"The Celestial Spider’s technique is not suitable for you!"

"How would I know if it’s suitable if you don’t say...?" Seeing that Mo Qingyue wasn’t going to say anything more, Chen Zhixing squinted his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Your Ladyship, if you really can’t say, then I’ll just have to ask Zhaosheng whether there’s still a Celestial Spider base in Jiangzhou and go inquire with them myself."
