Chapter 390 Bridge and Wolf
The news of Chen Zhaosheng's return to the family was still spread.
Although Chen Zhaosheng said that he had trivial matters to take care of, as a genius in the family whose talent even surpassed Chen Zhixing, no one was willing to hide the fact that he had returned home.
After all, the Chen family had passed down the story that Chen Zhaosheng's talent was better than Chen Zhixing's. Now Chen Zhixing's cultivation had reached the eighth level of Nirvana, and he was also known as the number one prodigy in Dongxuan in a thousand years. Even after so many years, what could Chen Zhaosheng, whose talent was even better than Chen Zhixing's, do?
When such a big shot returned to the Chen family, the Chen family would be busy spreading the news, so how could they be willing to keep it secret?
Because of this, not to mention Chen Zhaosheng's old husband Chen Tianxiong, who was busy taking a concubine, couldn't sit still and put down his things and rushed over, even many of the family elders who were in seclusion broke out of seclusion, wanting to see the Chen family's holy king who had finally returned after five years away from home! But Chen Zhaosheng did not choose to meet them.
It was only through Chen Tianchen's mouth that he told us that his current cultivation level had just broken through the Nirvana realm, and he still needed time to consolidate his realm.
This is really an interesting thing for the Chen family.
Chen Zhixing had already reached the eighth level of Nirvana, but Chen Zhaosheng had just broken through Nirvana? The elders of the Chen family suddenly thought of the rumors at home and felt mixed emotions.
"I thought Zhaosheng had already reached the pinnacle of his current state, and that's why he chose to return home. Who would have thought that he had actually reached Nirvana?"
"Nirvana is already very strong. Although Zhaosheng is four years older than Zhixing, none of the other people of the same age in the family have even broken through the Zhenwu realm. In comparison, Zhaosheng is worthy of the reputation of the dragon of our Chen family!"
"Yes, before there was Zhixing, and now Zhaosheng has returned home. This life is destined to be the era of great prosperity for my Chen family, hahaha."
“To be honest, if it weren’t for Zhixing, Zhaosheng would still be the most talented person in the Southern Region. Even the Daoists from the major holy lands would have just broken through to the Zhenwu level at the same age. He is truly worthy of being the natural Saint King of my Chen family.”
"If Zhaosheng is a holy king, then what about knowledge and action?"
“How can this be compared?”
"It is indeed incomparable. His talent for knowledge and action is unheard of in the past and present. Perhaps only the true gods and Buddhas in myths and legends can be shawled?"
"Third Elder, you are too serious."
"No, this is the answer I got after carefully searching through the historical records of my Chen family. According to the records, even in the Immortal Divine Dynasty of the previous era, there has never been a person who can be compared with Zhixing of my Chen family. Even that Immortal Emperor only broke through to the Nirvana Realm at the age of 25. To be honest, he is even weaker than Zhaosheng of my family, not to mention Zhixing."
"So that's how it is." The person who asked the question was delighted when he heard this: "In that case, wouldn't my Chen family be able to establish an immortal dynasty one day? At the very least, it can be upgraded to a holy place of immortality!"
"This..." The third elder smiled bitterly. Although he had enough confidence in the 'Chen Family Twin Dragons', the world that the Chen family was facing now was no longer the situation that the great emperor had faced.
Chen Zhaosheng didn't know how the outside clan members described him, let alone that the expectations of his family members for him had soared to such a high level. If he knew, he would probably not know what to do except smile bitterly.
He himself naturally knew how he achieved his cultivation.
He made use of the Chen Chang longevity foundation left in his body by Patriarch Tianyuan, and used it to devour the remnant soul of Wu Duolong that had taken over his body, thus achieving his current realm.
Otherwise, in just five years, he might just be a cultivator in the True Self Realm, and would not dare to compare himself with the emperor of the Immortal Imperial Court.
He couldn't remember, but his younger brother was truly a genius of his generation. His talent was so incredible that even those 'reincarnations of powerful beings' couldn't compare to him. It was as if he was truly the son of heaven who was pampered by the entire era. Not only did he not have any bottlenecks on the road of cultivation, but even his cultivation speed was beyond the reach of this true genius.
"Eighth level of Nirvana!"
Thinking back to the last time he saw Chen Zhixing, which was more than a year ago and at that time Chen Zhixing was only at the ninth level of the True Self Realm, Chen Zhaosheng didn't know what words to use to describe his younger brother.
Even the reincarnated people in the realm of immortality are no better than him, could it be that he is really an immortal descending to earth? Thinking of this, Chen Zhaosheng could only smile bitterly, but he had already given up the desire to compare with him. Instead, he thought about his younger brother, how long it would take for him to break through to the ultimate realm, and how many years it would take to achieve immortality.
At the same time, he still had a lot of curiosity.
"If you really achieve immortality first, I wonder how wonderful the expressions on the faces of those who have struggled to survive into this life would be."
Chen Zhixing didn't know yet that Chen Zhaosheng had returned home.
It's not that he didn't know, because when he stepped down as the patriarch, Patriarch Tianyuan had vaguely revealed something, letting Chen Zhixing know that he, the ancestor, was capable of bringing Chen Zhaosheng back.
As for why Patriarch Tianyuan has such means, and whether he has any connection with the Tianzhu Organization.
He, Chen Tianyuan, is at the pinnacle of the realm! Don't have too many friends!
Even if he has friends in the Immortal Realm, he will have a few more friends who hold real power in the Sky Spider Organization, and a few more acquaintances in the Daluo Daodi. Isn't it normal? After all, there are only a few hundred people in the Supreme Realm in the world. If you say that everyone doesn't know each other and has never had any contact, no one with a normal IQ will believe it.
After all, it's the top. Even if everyone is fighting each other to the death and scheming against each other in secret, they can still get along well in public and can even sit together to have a meal or something.
The relationships between the most powerful people are mostly like this.
Not to mention Chen Zhaosheng, even the other two of the three holy places are not completely ignorant of the affairs of the Sky Spider Organization. If not, the Sky Spider would have no basis for existence at all.
In other words, the existence of Sky Spider is tacitly approved by many companies.
"The Snow Demon Clan has been hiding in the frozen plateau for many years, yet they were able to gather such hidden information from the outside world. Senior Snow Demon King has done a great job."
"Call me grandma."
“.”
Chen Zhixing, who didn't want to talk, continued to flip through the information in his hand. It recorded the bodies of the immortals who had been recovered by Daluo Daodi over the years, as well as some lists of people who the Sky Spider Organization might help resurrect.
Among them, there are many powerful people similar to those in the Immortal Imperial Court of the previous era, especially a few of their names, which made Chen Zhixing's pupils shrink.
"Lu Xiang, King of Zhenbei."
These people were the mysterious men in black robes whom he had fought and killed during the Xuantian Competition!
"It's them, but don't be happy too soon. You did kill them once in the Xuantian Competition, but since the people of Tianzhu were able to revive them the first time, they can naturally revive them the second and third time. Maybe they have been revived for a long time and have been watching you secretly."
The Snow Demon King held a cup of tea in his hand and looked at Chen Zhixing with a smile.
Chen Zhixing rolled his eyes. It was the first time he knew that ice water could be used to make tea. This old lady's hobby was really strange.
"Since I was able to kill them once, I won't be afraid of a second time."
"That's right. With your speed of cultivation, unless they return to the realm of immortality, they will pose no threat to you." The Snow Demon King smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Chen Zhixing's words.
This time, it was Chen Zhixing who frowned: "According to you, you also think that I will be stuck in the realm of immortality for a long time?"
"I didn't say that." The Snow Demon King still smiled.
"Is it really that difficult to break through the realm of immortality?"
"Divide by person."
“.”
"Forget it, there's no way to explain it to you now. I can only let you experience it yourself. By the way, it's been a while since you last came here. When do you think you can break through to the ninth level of Nirvana?" The Snow Demon King took a sip of the iced tea in her hand, her eyes far away, making Chen Zhixing unable to guess what she was thinking.
"Anytime." Chen Zhixing replied calmly.
"Then why don't you break through?" The Snow Demon King was not surprised to hear this. She had long known Chen Zhixing's talent, so it was not surprising that he had made such progress.
“That’s not necessary.”
"Not necessary?" Snow Demon King frowned upon hearing this: "It is better to break through the realm as soon as possible. The sooner you break through, the more time you will have to overcome the difficulties in the future, and you will have more power to protect yourself before that."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This was indeed the Snow Demon King imparting some of his life experiences to her.
Who would have thought that this time Chen Zhixing shook his head and said:
"The eighth or ninth level of Nirvana doesn't make much difference to me now. As long as I am willing, I can reach that state in the blink of an eye. The reason why I am not breaking through now is just because I feel that there are still some flaws in my furnace of the Great Dao. Leaving it for a little more time will give me more time to make up for it."
Chen Zhixing's words made the Snow Demon King a little confused. What did he mean by leaving more time to make up for it? How come you can't make up for it after breaking through to the ninth level of the peak?
He wanted to question his grandson, but before he could say anything, the Snow Demon King suddenly thought of something, and for a moment he looked at Chen Zhixing with a look of doubt and uncertainty. "You have already broken through to the peak?"
"Not much."
"No, according to what you said, you are suppressing yourself and not allowing yourself to break through!"
". About the same. According to my current state, I should be able to suppress it for a while. But if time passes, it will naturally come to fruition."
When saying this, Chen Zhixing frowned slightly.
His situation is somewhat special at the moment.
The avenue furnace that has smelted the nine avenues is about to form a whole. When the avenue fruit inside it matures, that will be the day for him to break through to the pinnacle.
But the problem is, Chen Zhixing himself feels that the Dao Fruit formed by the fusion of his nine great ways is not perfect. He always feels that there is something missing in it, so he suppresses his realm and does not break through.
After all, the fruit of the Tao has been achieved, and there is no way to regret it!
This is a matter of great importance that concerns the future path of a cultivator!
If things could be more perfect, Chen Zhixing would naturally not pursue quick success.
But even so, it can't be suppressed for too long.
Just like the current eighth level of Nirvana, Chen Zhixing felt that within three months, no matter how hard he tried to suppress it, he would naturally advance to the ninth level, and the ninth level to the peak would take at most three years under full suppression! He really didn't have much time.
As for what the Snow Demon King said about breaking through as quickly as possible so as to have more time to hone one's future realm and one's own self-preservation ability, Chen Zhixing didn't care.
He knows his own business. If he really needs to face an enemy that he must break through before defeating, then he can break through two levels in a battle and reach the top directly in the blink of an eye. There is no need to care about what is on paper.
Moreover, Chen Zhixing has read hundreds of scriptures in recent days, and has also figured out some things from the longevity methods practiced by those immortals.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhixing decided that he should first ask the Snow Demon King in front of him for advice.
"Senior, the method we practice in Xuancang Realm emphasizes the achievement of Dao Fruit and the realization of Golden Nature in the state of absolute perfection. Therefore, I searched for the Hundred Longevity Dao Scriptures, hoping to comprehend the method from them, but I found some strange things in them."
Having said this, seeing that the Snow Demon King did not show any strange expression on his face, Chen Zhixing continued, "I found that many of the great ways recorded in the longevity scriptures I have read, the best fruits of cultivation are all missing."
Chen Zhixing didn't continue talking.
Upon hearing this, the Snow Demon King on the opposite side finally put away the smile on his face, looked seriously at his grandson in front of him, and said with relief: "Of course there are some shortcomings."
"You know?"
"I know. Who among the cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation doesn't know this? Take your Chen family's Five Elements Qi Gathering Method as an example. The key to the Qi Gathering Method is that there was a lack of three centimeters, and the lack of three centimeters just matched your ancestor's foundation. This is why your ancestor finally had the opportunity to attain immortality. If there had been one centimeters more or less, it would have been three times more difficult for your ancestor to attain immortality.
The best example for you is your second ancestor Chen Tianyuan. His talent is obviously more suitable than your first ancestor, but he has practiced the Five Elements Qi Gathering Method for thousands of years without any results. You, a junior, even commented that the family's skills are flawed, which made many old friends laugh at him, Chen Tianyuan. "
Chen Zhixing narrowed his eyes when he heard this and also thought of his childhood.
"So, the technique was originally incomplete, which led to the Tianyuan Patriarch's realm becoming incomplete, so he had no chance to achieve immortality?"
"No."
The Snow Demon King shook his head: "The technique is complete, but it varies from person to person. Chen Tianyuan did not gather less energy, but more energy than recorded in the technique. This is why his technique cannot be completed."
"How much more can this be???"
Chen Zhixing was confused when he heard this. This was the first time he had heard such a statement in his life! "Of course there are many."
The Snow Demon King laughed and said, “There is a bridge on the river, there is a wolf on the other side of the bridge, and the cultivator is a person who is sitting on the other side eating.
If you eat too much and are too heavy on this side of the bridge, you will not be able to cross the bridge. But if you eat too little and are too thin, you will not be able to defeat the wolf on the other side of the bridge.
Therefore, if you want to cross this bridge, you must adjust everything just right! Only when you have adjusted everything just right, can you cross the bridge, defeat the wolf, carry the golden nature, and have the opportunity to prove your way to immortality! "
