Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 38: Journey to Southern Border, Obtaining the Divine Technique, Ascending to True Self!

The entire Chen family of Ziwei was in an uproar.

However, within the Third Peak where Chen Zhixing resided, there was a peaceful calm.

"Ha~~, such a boring trial."

Sitting in his chair, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but yawn.

He wasn't interested in this so-called trial in the Southern Border at all.

With his cultivation at the ninth level of the Spiritual Wandering Realm, participating in such a trial was like a university student taking an elementary school exam.

Was there any point?

None whatsoever.

The real reason he was heading to the Southern Border was that he remembered a plotline from his previous life in The Great Cultivation, where deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Wilderness lay the tomb of a cultivator named Jiu Feng Daoist.

Jiu Feng Daoist wasn't some mighty figure who dominated the cultivation world. Even at the time of his death, his cultivation only reached the pinnacle of the Spiritual Wandering Realm.

However, when he was young, he had an extraordinary encounter, obtaining a supreme True Self technique called the "Nine Gods Technique!"

Ordinary cultivators in the True Self realm typically aim to merge their Yin Spirit with their physical body, transforming it into a seed of the Great Dao.

This seed of the Great Dao is also known as the Dharma Aspect!

For instance, when Chen Tianliang released the Hell Blood Realmin in Lin'an City, it was his Dharma Aspect.

However, the Nine Gods Technique followed a different path, allowing the cultivator to condense one Great Dao seed for each level of the True Self realm.

In other words, if someone cultivated this technique to the ninth level of the True Self realm, they would have nine Dharma Aspect!

How terrifying would that be?

But alas.

Jiu Feng Daoist didn't even manage to reach the True Self realm to cultivate this technique before he passed away, dying in meditation within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Truly, it was a matter of fate.

Chen Zhixing's purpose in going to the Southern Border this time was to obtain the "Nine Gods Technique"!

He was on the verge of entering the True Self realm and desperately needed a True Self technique!

The "Nine Gods Technique" was the perfect choice for him!

"In the game The Great Cultivation in my previous life, a fated protagonist acquired this technique and became invincible within his realm, laying the foundation for his future dominance."

"Judging by the timeline, the protagonist should obtain this technique in about three years."

"I can definitely intercept it before then."

Chen Zhixing's eyes flickered with determination.

Journey to the Southern Border, obtain the Divine Technique, and ascend to True Self!

His goal this time was crystal clear.

"Young master, here are some mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, and red bean cakes I made for you. If you get hungry over there, you can have some snacks."

LuoLuo was packing Chen Zhixing's luggage while chattering away.

"Young master, this is your first time traveling so far. Take more spirit stones with you. If anything happens, they could come in handy."

"Young master, I heard there are lots of snakes, insects, and mosquitoes in the Southern Border. I prepared various antidotes for you; they're on the table, so don't forget to take them."

"Young master, I prepared ten sets of clothes and undergarments for you to change into. You've been meticulous about cleanliness since you were little."

Chen Zhixing came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile.

In truth, at his level of cultivation, he was already immune to all poisons, his body impervious to dirt, and he had no need for food or drink.

However, he still gently rubbed the storage ring on his ring finger, listening patiently.

"Young master, you've always had people serving you since you were little. How will you manage on your own this time? How about... how about I go with you?" LuoLuo lifted her head, still worried, her expression filled with concern.

"Silly girl, I'm only going for a few days, and besides, the family elders will be there."

Chen Zhixing stood up, patted LuoLuo's head, and smiled warmly.

Then, he stored all the large and small bundles LuoLuo had packed into his storage ring and slung the sandalwood sword case over his back.

"Time to go."

When Chen Zhixing arrived at the mountain gate plaza.

The plaza was already filled with twenty to thirty young disciples of the Chen family!

Glancing around, Chen Zhixing saw that most of them were in the Spirit Nourishment realm, with only a few having reached the Illusory Transformation realm.

Among them, two people caught Chen Zhixing's attention.

One was a young man with long purple hair, exuding a powerful Illusory Transformation aura, with symbols of the Great Dao flickering in his eyes.

The other was a stranger, a young man wearing a steel mask covering half his face and carrying twin swords at his waist.

Chen Zhixing hadn't seen this dual-bladed youth in the Chen family before.

But.

Chen Zhixing merely glanced at him before withdrawing his gaze, without much interest.

To Chen Zhixing, they were just a bunch of "kids."

His vision had long surpassed this level.

"Third Young Master!"

"Third Young Master is here!"

"I heard that a few days ago, the Third Young Master boldly confronted the family elders during morning lessons, leaving them speechless."

"Ah, that's because he's the Third Young Master, a direct descendant. If it were any of us branch family members doing such a thing, we'd have been severely punished!"

"I heard the Third Young Master's cultivation is only at the Spirit Nourishment realm. If his performance in the Southern Border isn't up to par, wouldn't that bring shame to the Chen family's direct line?"

"Hmph, Chen Zhixing is just relying on his birthright. If I had his background, I'd achieve far more than him!"

"That's right. If we had his resources, we'd have soared long ago!"

"Life is so unfair. We work hard and endure hardship, but our lowly birth limits us, forcing us to fight for every resource, while someone like Chen Zhixing, who idles away his time, gets everything handed to him!"

"Stop complaining. It's just the luck of the draw. He was born with a silver spoon, with a father to pave the way for him."

"Heh, when we get to the Southern Border, I'll crush Chen Zhixing underfoot and show the Chen family higher-ups that bloodline doesn't determine everything!"

A chorus of whispers echoed around.

However.

When Chen Zhixing walked over.

This group of branch family disciples could only lower their heads, respectfully cupping their hands as they greeted him:

"Third Young Master."

"Greetings, Third Young Master."

"After you, Third Young Master."

Chen Zhixing nodded slightly and didn't spare them a glance, walking straight to the front of the crowd.

At the forefront of the group, the family elders responsible for the Southern Border trial also smiled warmly at Chen Zhixing:

"Third Young Master."

Chen Zhixing smiled back at them.

The hierarchy within the Chen family was strict, with direct descendants enjoying privileges far above those of branch family members.

Even if some of these branch family members were stronger in cultivation than Chen Zhixing, they had to bow respectfully and couldn't show the slightest disrespect.

The reason was simple!

Chen Zhixing possessed the purest bloodline of the Chen family!

In contrast, these branch family members either weren't descended from the patriarch's lineage or were merely the offspring of followers who had earned the surname Chen by merit.

"Nephew Zhixing."

A gentle voice called out.

Chen Zhixing looked up.

The person leading the trial was Chen Tianchen, sitting on a grand chair, greeting Chen Zhixing.

Beside him was a little girl, as delicate as a porcelain doll.

"Brother Zhixing," the little girl greeted him with a sweet smile.

"Fourth Uncle, Ling'er."

Chen Zhixing smiled and returned the greeting.

"Ah, is your father still enjoying his time as a carefree wanderer, unwilling to return?" Chen Tianchen joked with a laugh.

Chen Zhixing shrugged and replied, "Who knows? I suppose my parents are off exploring the mountains somewhere, too captivated to come back."

As the two chatted.

Suddenly, a wave of respectful greetings spread through the crowd.

"Eldest Young Master!"

"We... pay our respects to the Eldest Young Master!"

In an instant.

The bustling crowd parted to create a path.

All the Chen family disciples lowered their heads, arms pressed to their sides, their expressions filled with reverence.

At the end of the path.

Chen Zhaosheng approached, his expression calm, black hair flowing freely, walking with his hands behind his back.

Beside him was a beautiful woman with a mole near her lips.

It was Lu Ying.
