Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 24: Time Flies, Ten Years in the Blink of an Eye

In the blink of an eye, 

several days had passed.

During these few days, Chen Tianliang began searching for the rare herbs needed for the Pinghai Dan formula. 

Meanwhile, Ying Shuangshuang started practicing the Nine Revolution of the Heavenly Cold Sutra. 

This Sutra was exceptionally compatible with Ying Shuangshuang, and within a few days, she had already made significant progress, successfully condensing three Cold Pills! The cold aura that she usually emitted had all been withdrawn and vanished.

One day,

Chen Zhixing was practicing in his room.

Suddenly, the entire Ziwei Mountain was filled with a noisy commotion.

"Lord Chen has returned with Young Master Zhaosheng from the Southern Frontier!"

"Youthful Master Zhaosheng is truly worthy of being a Nine Ancient Pattern bearer; at just three years old, he has already embarked on the path of cultivation!"

"I heard Young Master Zhaosheng is now at the first level of the Treasure Body Realm!"

"A three-year-old at the first level of the Treasure Body Realm! Young Master Zhaosheng's future is indeed limitless!"

"Among the younger generation, who can compare to Young Master Zhaosheng?"

"Hurry, hurry, go and welcome Young Master Zhaosheng!"

Chen Zhixing opened his eyes and looked outside.

He saw at the foot of Ziwei Mountain a young child being surrounded by countless members of the Chen family, as if they were stars admiring the moon.

Chen Zhaosheng stood with his hands behind his back, his youthful face marked by indifference. However, one could faintly detect a deeply hidden pride between his brows.

Countless Chen family members surrounded him, all wearing flattering and obsequious smiles, eager to impress Young Master Zhaosheng. They hoped to leave a good impression on him, so that when he achieved great success in the future, he might remember to help them.

"How boring."

Chen Zhixing yawned and began focusing on refining his second acupoint—the Zhongchong Acupoint!

Indeed,

in these past ten days, Chen Zhixing had completely refined his Laogong Acupoint.

His cultivation had thus improved, reaching the third level of the Treasure Body Realm!

Considering the time, it had been less than two months since he began practicing the "Bull Demon Star Transformation Technique."

In just two months, reaching the third level of the Treasure Body Realm!

Such a speed of cultivation, if known, would surely astonish the world.

But Chen Zhixing was still unsatisfied.

"One of the main characters from the nine major lines has already appeared in the world. It won't be long before he soars high."

"I must hurry, even faster!"

Meanwhile,

at the Third Peak, in front of a pavilion,

Mo Qingyue and Feilong Zhenren were both looking down at the scene below.

"A three-year-old in the Treasure Body Realm is indeed impressive."

Feilong Zhenren looked at Chen Zhaosheng and nodded with slight satisfaction, saying, "Observing his temperament, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous—a good seedling."

"Just so-so," Mo Qingyue responded indifferently.

A three-year-old in the Treasure Body Realm?

Compared to ordinary people, Chen Zhaosheng was indeed remarkable.

But having seen Chen Zhixing, she thought Chen Zhaosheng was just average.

As the saying goes, comparing goods leads to discarding, comparing people leads to frustration.

Chen Zhixing was not even a year old yet and was already at the second level of the Treasure Body Realm, with mental powers that were astonishingly strong.

Chen Zhixing was far from being so high-profile and ostentatious.

And Chen Zhaosheng?

Surrounded by admiration, arrogantly proud.

If Chen Zhaosheng were to achieve great success in the future, wouldn't he be looking down from the heavens?

"Your Highness, since Young Master Zhaosheng has returned, should we extend an olive branch now and invite him to join our Heavenly Saint Palace?" Feilong Zhenren asked.

"Not yet," Mo Qingyue shook her head.

"Not yet?" Feilong Zhenren was surprised and then asked, "Aren't we returning to the Heavenly Saint Palace now?"

Mo Qingyue smiled slightly, "Feilong, you can return first. I'll stay here in the Chen family for a while longer."

"The Chen family?" Feilong Zhenren raised an eyebrow, "Has Your Highness changed your mind? Is there something worth your attention here?"

Mo Qingyue didn't respond directly but instead changed the topic with a smile, "Feilong, do you believe that in ten years, Chen Zhixing from the Third Branch of the Chen family will achieve a higher level of success than Chen Zhaosheng?"

"Chen Zhixing? Higher achievements than Chen Zhaosheng in the future?" Feilong Zhenren laughed, "Your Highness, you seem to be in a good mood today, making jokes to amuse me."

"Don't believe it?" Mo Qingyue raised an eyebrow.

"Naturally not. Chen Zhaosheng is not only a Nine Ancient Pattern bearer but also possesses a natural kingly disposition. Chen Zhixing is unremarkable in comparison; how could they be compared?" Feilong Zhenren shook his head.

Mo Qingyue smiled, "Feilong, how about we make a bet?"

"Sure, let's bet," Feilong Zhenren felt a surge of stubbornness and said, "Your Highness, let's bet on how we can compare them when they're older."

Mo Qingyue calmly said, "Let's bet on who will have higher cultivation and greater strength in ten years."

"Agreed! Your Highness, you are bound to lose this time!"

"Feilong, I hope you will still remember your defiant attitude ten years from now."

Day and night alternated, and time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

At Ziwei Mountain, Third Peak.

In the early morning,

water mist formed dew on the grass leaves, and a green mantis crept forward, trying to catch the black caterpillar ahead.

With a snap,

a black boot crushed the mantis and the caterpillar together.

A handsome, fair-skinned young man in white walked out of the courtyard, stretching lazily.

"Autumn's crisp and pleasant."

He looked sleepy, yawning, and clearly seemed not well-rested.

"Young Master Zhixing, hurry to the main hall. Today is the family meeting."

A pretty maid in green had been waiting outside the courtyard.

Chen Zhixing glanced at the maid unhurriedly and smiled, "Luoluo, I usually don't attend the morning meetings. Why is there a call for me to attend today?"

Luoluo looked around and then lowered her voice, saying, "Young Master, hasn't the family head been seeking a suitable partner for you these years?"

"I heard that this time, the family head has found a prominent young lady for you. She has arrived at our Chen family today!"

Luoluo paused and continued, "Moreover, Young Master Zhaosheng from the First Peak has also returned from the Qianyang Academy! All Chen family members need to welcome Young Master Zhaosheng!"

"Oh!"

Chen Zhixing nodded, somewhat disinterested.

Everything in this world was fine, but the matter of marriage seemed too early.

He was only just under eleven years old, and the family was already arranging potential partners for him.

"Young Master, you can avoid it for the moment, but you can’t avoid it forever. The young lady is already here, so you should go and have a look," Luoluo advised kindly.

She feared that Chen Zhixing might be capricious again, as before, and refuse to meet the young lady.

"Luoluo, are you so eager to push me out?"

Chen Zhixing reached out, playfully pinching Luoluo's cheek, and then said, "Let’s go, I’ll go see what’s going on."
