Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 60: Today, I Shall See My True Self and Ascend to My True Being!

"To the Young Master: I have arrived in Qingzhou and have made the acquaintance of Brother Meng."

Chen Zhixing's eyes flickered as he continued reading.

"Brother Meng is a man of steady character with an unyielding ambition to rise. When faced with a broken engagement, he passionately wrote the words 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; do not underestimate a young man's potential,' and made a five-year pact with the woman who called off the engagement."

"I observed that his talent seems ordinary, yet his cultivation progresses rapidly. Though he just reached adulthood this year, his cultivation has already entered the Luminescence Realm. However, the exact level within Luminescence is still uncertain."

"Most notably, his combat prowess is extraordinary. When we first met, I witnessed him mastering the Dao of Fire, sweeping through multiple enemies of the same realm with ease, standing undefeated below the level of Spiritual Wandering."

"However, I noticed that the ring on his finger seems to have an unusual origin."

"He often acts unpredictably and suddenly gains insight, as if he were born with knowledge. This is especially evident in alchemy, where his skills are exceptionally refined."

"I cannot help but speculate that there may be a powerful remnant soul within that ring guiding him in secret."

"Furthermore, Brother Meng's fortune is astonishing."

"He is accompanied by two women."

"One of them hails from Yaowang Valley and is known as the Little Poison Immortal, possessing the legendary Disastrous Poison Body."

"The other woman is even more extraordinary. Though her exact identity is unknown, her demeanor and speech reveal a certain grandeur. She spoke without regard for the Meng family, suggesting that her background might surpass that of the Meng family."

"I have grown close to Brother Meng and discreetly inquired about his views on the major immortal families of the Eastern Xuan Domain."

"When I mentioned the Ziwei Chen family, Brother Meng's expression changed, revealing an inexplicable hostility toward the Chen family."

"I feigned indifference and further questioned him, only to learn that Brother Meng's father, Meng Dongchun, was killed by the Third Lord in Lin'an City ten years ago!"

"In my view, a man with such deep hatred is bound to soar in the future."

"If he is not eliminated early, he could become a grave threat to the Young Master."

"Unable to make a decisive move on my own, I leave the decision to you."

"I will accompany Brother Meng on another journey to the Ten Thousand Snake Pit. It is said that the Queen of the Serpents there is extremely powerful. What fortunes may await us remain to be seen."

"Yuan Bufu, respectfully."

The letter ended there.

Chen Zhixing narrowed his eyes.

As he grew stronger, these fated protagonists were also rapidly evolving.

A flicker of fire rose from Chen Zhixing's fingertips, turning the entire letter to ashes.

"Well done."

Chen Zhixing glanced at Xu Dalong and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Xu Dalong immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Third Young Master, you praise me too much. It's just what I should do."

Chen Zhixing nodded, then flipped his right hand, revealing a glazed pill bottle in front of Xu Dalong. He said, "This is a Illusory Transformation Pill. I shouldn't have to explain its effects to you, should I?"

Upon seeing this, Xu Dalong's eyes lit up.

"Illusory Transformation Pill?" He swallowed hard, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

Illusory Transformation Pill!

A divine pill that could help him enter the Illusory Transformation Realm!!

The Illusory Transformation Realm, the dream he had longed for but could never reach!

He looked at Chen Zhixing, wanting to ask if this pill was really for him but feared that doing so might be seen as overstepping his bounds.

After all, as someone in the lowly Spirit Nourishment Realm, he was nothing more than an ant compared to the Third Young Master's status. Why would he be given such a treasure?

"Take it. Your current cultivation is still too low. Improve your strength first while you work for me," Chen Zhixing said with a smile.

"It's really for me?"

Xu Dalong trembled as he received the Illusory Transformation Pill, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy.

It was not only because he received the Illusory Transformation Pill.

But more importantly, it was the phrase "work for me" that Chen Zhixing had just said!

This meant he had truly climbed up to the Chen family's high branches!

With a heavy thud, Xu Dalong knelt down and said in a deep voice, "I am deeply grateful for the Third Young Master's favor. From now on, I, Xu Dalong, will be at your service, willing to go through fire and water, without hesitation!"

"Don't always talk about life and death. Stand up."

With a wave of his right hand, Chen Zhixing exerted a gentle force that lifted Xu Dalong to his feet.

Then.

Chen Zhixing flipped his right hand again, and a black long blade adorned with flame patterns appeared in his hand.

"Dalong, take this to Qingzhou and bury it in the place opposite the Ten Thousand Snake Pit. Then, spread the word that the heavenly weapon of the Dao of Fire is about to emerge."

"Make sure to lure all the cultivators who practice the Dao of Fire in Qingzhou."

Xu Dalong received the black long blade and nodded heavily, then grinned and said, "Don't worry, Third Young Master. Although my cultivation is low, spreading rumors and creating hype is a skill I excel at."

"Mm, go ahead."

Chen Zhixing patted Xu Dalong on the shoulder.

After Xu Dalong left with the black blade laced with Chen Zhixing's poisoned divine sense.

Chen Zhixing yawned and returned to the Third Peak.

These steps he took were merely on a whim.

Whether they succeeded or not was of no concern to him.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

At dawn.

A flying boat bearing the Ziwei Chen family's banner rose from Ziwei Mountain and quickly departed, heading straight for Youzhou.

In less than half a day's time, the flying boat left the Yan Province territory and entered Youzhou.

On the deck.

A gentle breeze blew.

Chen Zhixing sat in a large chair, dressed in snow-white robes, his face handsome and unparalleled, calmly sipping tea with his eyes slightly lowered.

"Third Young Master, we've entered Youzhou. We should arrive at the Ruan family by dawn tomorrow."

Behind him, the guardian Elder You spoke in a deep voice.

"Good. How strong is the Ruan family?" Chen Zhixing asked casually.

Elder You thought for a moment and then smiled, "The Ruan family is considered one of the top families in Wuxuan City, Youzhou. Its strongest member, Patriarch Ruan Zhenlong, has a cultivation at the peak of the Spiritual Wandering Realm, which is nothing compared to our Chen family."

"This time, we're going to Youzhou primarily to meet Ruan Nanzhu."

At this, Elder You chuckled and said, "Third Young Master, it's rumored that Ruan Nanzhu is of extraordinary beauty. If you express interest, the Ruan family would certainly offer her willingly. Heh, heh, heh, and then, our Chen family might gain another phoenix child."

"Elder You, you truly are... a hidden gem. Who would have thought?"

Chen Zhixing helplessly rubbed his forehead.

At first, he had thought that Elder You was a reserved and cold elder.

But after spending time together, he realized.

Not only was Elder You not cold, but he was also a master of cheeky comments.

After all, how many guardians would take the time to carefully dress up before leaving home?

"Hahaha, it was the family head's idea, Third Young Master. Don't blame me."

Dressed in luxurious brocade robes, with meticulously groomed white hair and a clean-shaven face, Elder You laughed heartily.

"I'm still young. There's no rush for this."

Chen Zhixing shook his head.

Elder You teased with a laugh, "Third Young Master, age doesn't matter. As long as... well, you're capable, that's all that matters. They say even a small horse can pull a big cart, isn't that right?"

"Elder You!!!"

Chen Zhixing was speechless. Seeing that Elder You was about to continue with his banter, he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, when night falls, let's find a town to rest in for the night before we continue our journey."

"Rest for the night?" Elder You was slightly surprised. If they wanted to rest, they could simply rest on the flying boat, couldn't they?

Remembering Chen Daoyan's instructions, Elder You didn't ask further and simply nodded with a smile, "Very well, we'll do as the Young Master says."

"Thank you."

Chen Zhixing smiled at Elder You, then set down the dragon-patterned teacup worth a fortune, and got up to look down from the boat.

The clouds drifted by, and as he gazed downward.

It was as if the vast rivers and mountains were all within his grasp.

Chen Zhixing's eyes focused slightly.

Recently, he had been reading an ancient book on star divination.

The book said that today was an auspicious day for travel and breakthroughs.

"Today, I shall see my true self and ascend to the realm of my true being!"

Chen Zhixing's eyes sparkled as he silently recited in his heart.
