Chapter 448 Ignite

Chen Zhixing really didn't expect that his ancestor would actually prepare such a great gift for him during the last period of time.

A favor from a person in the realm of immortality, or to put it simply, a life.

Although he had never heard of the deeds of the Immortal Master Li Er Huayu before, but from the fact that he was the master of a holy land like Master Yi Miao, he could know how precious this favor was.

"Okay, this is my treasure from the bottom of my chest. Today it belongs to you. Don't worry, only you and Li Er know this news. Li Er will only recognize you. Even if other members of the Chen family go to find him, he will not recognize you."

"Ancestor, why didn't you leave this news to the family?"

"They can't use it." Chen Tianchen patted his old legs, his tone became flat: "The current Chen family is like me before I went to Beihai. My old arms and legs look strong, but there is no way forward. I gave this favor to them, just like that old bastard threw the golden nature in front of me.

They long to have it, but when they really put it in front of them, they find that it is just an illusion. "

You also created some artistic atmosphere.

Chen Zhixing was helpless.

He didn't understand, but he could more or less hear that the Chen family overseas was in an equally bad situation. On the surface, it still looked like a powerful force, but deep down it had been almost eaten away.

You can defend the city, but there is no way to advance.

After thinking for a while, Chen Zhixing asked: "Do you still plan to let me go overseas?"

"Let you go? Let you turn your overseas family into the same mess as Ziwei Mountain?"

After handing over the last secret, the old man didn't seem to care about it anymore. He lazily basked in the sun and said, "Do you know what I told those people from Qingzhou when I took them to Beihai?"

"Uh, what did you say?" Chen Zhixing blinked. He was really curious about this. As far as he knew, the group of top-level masters who went north with the old man didn't seem to have a good relationship with the Chen family. Logically speaking, they should not have a deep relationship with the old man, at least not so good that they could hunt the Immortal Black Tortoise together.

“Hahaha, I told them that you are a very unique little thing. Your journey to the top was a sea of ​​blood and corpses. You died wherever you went. You were even more vicious than some of the golden reincarnations. Plus, you were about to break through to the top at that time, and they were the only ones who could serve as your stepping stones. If they don’t want to die, they should go out and hide to avoid encountering you, this evil star!”

The old man laughed as he said this, as if he was thinking of the expressions of those 'old friends' at that time, and the subsequent scene of them fleeing Qingzhou almost like a refugee. It was really interesting!

Chen Zhixing: “.”

Chen Zhixing held back the curse in his heart, but when he thought about it, it seemed to be true.

But can he be blamed for this?

Yes! Oh, that's okay.

Thinking about the process of his rise along the way, he would indeed die wherever he went. And after returning from the snowy plateau, he has been hiding in Jiangzhou. It would be strange if he was not afraid of the nearby Juedian Realm.

Jiangzhou was originally the territory of the Chen family, and Juedian had been harmed by it once. The Sikong family of Sizhou was directly wiped out, and the Meng family of Qingzhou also suffered at his hands.

Faced with such an evil star that is more poisonous than gold, even the top people would have to run away if they were in his place!

But why did the old man suddenly bring up this? "Hehe, what do you think? What the old man said is right, isn't it? You are not only a bad star that harms others, but even your own family. You have finally been quiet for more than a year, but you did something big and directly sealed Ziwei Mountain and went to the Central Region to cause trouble for Daluo Daodi. Chichi."

Chen Tianyuan laughed strangely: "You don't know, after learning about the conflict between you and Daluo Daodi, those old guys who left with me earlier thanked me. They looked so grateful as if I were their biological father. They wished they could rank me as their ancestor and worship me every day."

“.”

"Do your best! You really do your best!"

“.”

"I have made your ancestors proud!"

“.”

"Don't be scared! It's just a big Luo Daodi! Kill him!"

“.”

"Well, I'm just saying this. If you really want to do it, wait until I die first."

"Why"

The old man's health didn't improve for a few days.

In the first half of the month, she could still walk around under the crape myrtle tree, and occasionally ask Chen Zhixing to accompany her to take a walk in Linjiang City. But in the second half of the month, she could only lie in bed and her complexion became worse day by day.

But even when he was lying in bed, the old man was still talking. He told Chen Zhixing how the Chen family had established themselves in Jiangzhou, and how the current Linjiang City was built.

These are just appearances.

The reason why the old man insisted on keeping Chen Zhixing by his side after giving him the secret was not because he was afraid of death, but because he wanted to use the last bit of his life to teach Chen Zhixing a final lesson.

This is a lesson that is almost more important to Chen Zhixing than the favor he received from Master Huayu.

Just like the lesson his father, Master Changfeng, taught him.

He took advantage of his death to let Chen Zhixing know how a top person like him was completely devoured by those Taoist masters.

First, his spirit and energy rapidly declined at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then his body's energy and blood flowed to the spiritual world in a way that Chen Zhixing found difficult to understand. Finally, his spiritual power that maintained his life was eaten away again and again, leaving only an almost shriveled skeleton.

This process happens naturally, like an art.

But when the last day comes.

But it all stopped again.

Right under Chen Zhixing's eyes, Chen Tianyuan's shriveled spirit was suddenly ignited by a flame from the spirit world. The spirit that was burning like a raging fire made Chen Tianyuan seem to be revitalized. Not only did he no longer look dead, but he even looked a little bit like "rejuvenated".

White hair turns black.

Visibly, the wrinkles on his face faded away, and Chen Tianyuan seemed to have regained consciousness, with his appearance finalized as a middle-aged man in his forties.

Able to sit up from bed, and even run and jump.

The old man himself was not surprised by this, he just smiled at Chen Zhixing who was still standing by his side:

"This time, I am really going to die. I will use the remaining spirit to ignite my spirit body. When it is burned out, you can find a place to bury me first. When we return to Ziwei Mountain tomorrow, you can move me to the mountain. This will not let us down."

“.”

Chen Zhixing nodded slowly, as if he was still immersed in the "grand food-sharing feast" that happened half a month ago and hadn't come back to his senses.

"If nothing unexpected happens, after I die, someone will come and you can talk to him. But I advise you not to, ahem, be infected by the despair in him."

"good."

"Although this world is not great, you are still good. Even if you don't like this world, don't give up on yourself. Those things are meaningless."

"Um."

"Instead of being self-pitying and self-destructive, it is better to find a way to solve the problem. There is an old saying that goes, 'Nothing is difficult if you set your mind to it.'"

"I understand."

"Hahahaha, as long as you understand, as long as you understand, it's good. It's a pity that even a youngster like you understands this truth, but some people at their old age are still stuck in a rut and can't get out of it, hahahaha."

Chen Zhixing said nothing more, just watched quietly.

Watching Chen Tianyuan's spirit burn out amidst loud laughter, he fell backwards with a smile on his face.

silence.

After a while, when the person who had been following the old man almost all the way for the past month finally walked out from the darkness, Chen Zhixing lowered his head to tidy up the old man's remains while speaking:

"Isn't it said that after the spirit is ignited, it can still live for an afternoon? How come it was burned up in just a few words from the old man?"

"The one that can burn for an entire afternoon is Changsheng. Senior Tianyuan has never set foot there, and his spirit body has long been hollowed out. It is like silk that has been ignited by fire, which will burn out once the fire is gone."

"I see."

Chen Zhixing nodded to show that he understood.

Then, without even looking at the immortal behind him who was said to be of great importance, so powerful that he could even make the Daluo Dao retreat, he just gently placed the old man's body into the coffin that had been prepared long ago.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Without even saying hello to Master Huayu, he disappeared from the courtyard with the coffin.

Zhenjun Huayu frowned slightly when he saw this.

Naturally, he heard everything Chen Tianyuan said to his grandson. Some of the things Chen Tianyuan said were even directed specifically at him, the 'debtor'.

Logically speaking, after Chen Tianyuan's death, he showed up again. So, the descendant who collected Chen Tianyuan's body should have some communication with him for whatever reason. Even if Chen Tianyuan had given instructions before, he should confirm with him whether the "favor" Chen Tianyuan mentioned before still counts.

But Chen Zhixing's behavior. Thinking about the child's behavior in front of Chen Tianyuan over the past month, and then thinking about his indifferent expression after he showed up, Li Er could easily come up with an answer.

"This kid's attention to me these days is all fake. He is just trying to make Chen Tianyuan happy and make Chen Tianyuan feel that he has left hope for the entire family and left a legacy for him, Chen Tianyuan, in this world. It is really helpful to the descendants he believes in."

After saying this, Li Er looked in the direction where Chen Zhixing left, his eyes becoming full of admiration.

A person who does not care about the favors of Huayu Tianzun may be arrogant, stupid, or even pretending.

But if a person clearly doesn't care, but is willing to show this attitude in front of his ancestors who are about to die, like Chen Zhixing, Li Er hopes that his family can also have such a descendant! He will admit it whether it is arrogant or stupid! Even if it is pretended, he can pinch his nose and admit it! As the Immortal Master Huayu, Li Er naturally won't chase after Chen Zhixing, the younger generation, to say anything.

He just watched Chen Zhixing bury Chen Tianyuan, and then watched him stand guard in front of the tombstone for a day before choosing to leave.

From beginning to end, Li Er chose not to show up again.

Only after Chen Zhi left did Li Er choose to come to Chen Tianyuan's tomb and bowed slightly in salute.

"Senior, I am grateful for your advice."

Chen Tianyuan, who was already dead, naturally had no way to answer him.

Li Er didn't care either.

After paying his respects, he sat down against the tombstone, took out a wine gourd from his sleeve, and drank from it in small sips while muttering something.

Well, the painting style seems very lonely.

In other words, Li Er himself is very lonely.

Having reached his current position of 'Immortal Venerable', no one had ever been able to communicate with him on an equal footing. Now, with the passing of the last friend to whom he owed a favor, there was probably no one in the entire Dongxuan State who could be looked up to by this Immortal Venerable.

It's lonely at the top.

It’s similar to what Li Er thought.

Chen Zhixing really didn't care about him, the Immortal Lord of Dongxuanzhou. What he did before was just to make Chen Tianyuan happy.

What are Immortal Lord, Heavenly Lord, Immortal Lord, True Lord, and Taoist Lord? It's all a mess!

No matter how famous he is, can he compete with Shi Hao a hundred years later?

If he couldn't win, how could Shi Hao get the name of invincibility.

If he couldn't defeat him, why should Chen Zhixing care about him?

Compared to these so-called titles and favors, what Chen Zhixing really cares about is the lesson the old man taught him before he died.

"So this is how the Taoist masters eat."

It was not as bloody as described by Master Yi Miao, nor as mysterious as Chen Zhixing originally thought.

It is simply to borrow some authority from the spiritual world to harvest those who come after you on the same path.

The reason why it seems mysterious and unknown is simply because the power of the spiritual world is inherently secretive, and the usual rate of harvest is relatively slight, making it difficult for ordinary monks to detect.

Only when a top-level cultivator like Chen Tianyuan is about to die, this kind of harvest will become noticeable because of the increased intensity.

And even if this is the case, in order to see this scene, one must at least reach the realm of the Immortal Immortal.

“Thinking about it this way, the scene that Patriarch Changfeng showed to the old man was all in vain. If the old man had seen something in that entire afternoon, he would not have entered the path of the Five Elements Taoist Master and been trapped at the top of the world for the rest of his life.”

Thinking of the previous scene, Chen Zhixing even felt a little shamefully envious.

I envy Chen Tianyuan for having a good father who lived long enough. Unlike him, he only has a good ancestor, but his ancestor didn’t live long enough.

"If you give me half a day, I might be able to learn how to do this?"

It started as a question, then turned into an affirmative statement.

Then Chen Zhixing felt ashamed of the thought that he had.

The old man made contributions to him before he died, but he ended up complaining that the old man was not helpful enough?

People say no? "But it seems that I am really just short of this half day."

After the shame, there is an accurate understanding of his own path. He knows that even if it is shameful, things are just as he thought.

In fact, if he could really learn this method in this way, it seemed that even if he did not enter the spiritual world, he could try to master this ability belonging to the Lord of Tao.

Even if no one has done it before.

But he can! Chen Zhixing is very clear about his own understanding.

Cheating level.

As long as the road is passable, he can go.

As long as someone succeeds, he will succeed! (End of this chapter)
