Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 8: Filial Piety and Self-Improvement!

"Good boy, did you learn to call me 'Daddy' today?"

Chen Tianliang approached with a broad smile, pinching Chen Zhixing's little face.

*Smack.*

Ying Shuangshuang swatted Chen Tianliang’s hand away and glared at him. "Stop pinching the child's face all the time. He'll drool when he grows up. Besides, he's only three months old—how could he speak?"

Chen Tianliang retracted his hand, unperturbed. "That’s someone else’s child. Our child is a Nine Ancient Pattern User. Not only should he be able to speak at three months, but if he could talk as soon as he was born, I wouldn't find it surprising."

He bent down, looking at Chen Zhixing with a smile. "Come on, little boy, say 'Daddy' for me."

Chen Zhixing glanced at him.

"Say it, don’t be shy. Daddy will teach you." Chen Tianliang opened his mouth and slowly said, "Say it after me. 'Didi~ Daddy~.'"

"Eh!" Chen Zhixing nodded his little head.

"One more time, 'Didi~ Yay~ Daddy, Daddy~~'"

"Eh!"

"Yes, yes, 'Didi~ Yay~.' Huh? Wait a moment!" Chen Tianliang suddenly realized, his eyes widening. "Wife, he seems to be taking advantage of me!"

Seeing this, Ying Shuangshuang couldn’t help but laugh, holding Chen Zhixing gently in her arms. "Little Zhixing, I’m your mother. Can you call me 'Mother'?"

Chen Zhixing, who had been planning to speak, finally found his chance. The next moment, he uttered two words with a babyish voice: "Mother."

Instantly, Ying Shuangshuang was struck as if by lightning, her whole body trembling.

"He… he called me 'Mother'! Hahaha, Zhixing called me 'Mother'!"

Overcome with joy, Ying Shuangshuang laughed and cried at the same time.

No one in this world could truly empathize with the surprise of a mother hearing her child call her 'Mother' for the first time.

Seeing this, Chen Tianliang quickly joined in, forcing a smile. "Come on, call me 'Daddy.'"

"Eh!"

"???" 

Chen Tianliang was dumbfounded, staring blankly with his mouth agape, before finally falling silent.

Ying Shuangshuang, still smiling, patiently asked, "Little Zhixing, what would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you, or would you like to go out and play?"

Chen Zhixing responded in his babyish voice, "Want to see the book."

As soon as he said it, Chen Zhixing was somewhat stunned.

What was happening with his speech?

Then, Chen Zhixing realized it might be related to the incomplete development of his vocal cords.

"Want to see the book?"

Ying Shuangshuang hesitated and replied, "Zhixing, do you mean you want to read a book?"

Chen Zhixing nodded.

Ying Shuangshuang asked, "What kind of book do you want to read?"

Chen Zhixing, with a serious face, said, "I want to see a book about cultivation."

"A book about cultivation?"

Ying Shuangshuang was taken aback. Her child was so young, yet he already understood the term 'cultivation'?

She glanced at Chen Tianliang, who was still in shock, and exclaimed, "Didn’t you hear? The child wants a book about cultivation."

Chen Tianliang snapped back to reality, saying, "Alright, I’ll get it from the library right away."

That night.

Under the moonlight.

Chen Zhixing sat alone in his room’s rocking chair, surrounded by piles of books.

[ Ding! "You have read 'True Essence Seventy-Six Techniques,' and with your extraordinary comprehension, you have immediately mastered it!" ]

[ Ding! "You have read 'Storm Sword Path,' and with your extraordinary comprehension, you have perfected it!" ]

[ Ding! "You have read 'Complete Guide to Formations,' and with your extraordinary comprehension, you have learned ten formations!" ]

[ Ding! "You have read 'Journey of the Lingmu Real Person,' and with your extraordinary comprehension, you have become intimately familiar with the map of the Cangxuan Realm!" ]

[ Ding! "You have read 'Pharmaceutical Valley Notes,' and with your extraordinary comprehension, you have acquired the basics of alchemy!" ]

The cold prompts continuously echoed in Chen Zhixing’s mind.

Chen Zhixing moved quickly, finishing a book almost every half-hour.

In his eyes, countless runes of the Great Dao flickered and rotated, appearing as if he were divine rather than human.

At this moment, he resembled a sponge immersed in a sea of knowledge, rapidly absorbing vast amounts of information.

Sword Path!

Alchemy!

Formations!

So much more!

His understanding of this world was growing at a staggering pace.

Moments later.

Chen Zhixing set aside the last book, exhaling deeply.

"This Cangxuan Realm is even more expansive and comprehensive than the world in the 'Great Cultivation' game."

Chen Zhixing’s eyes sparkled.

Perhaps because, in his past life, he only completed singular mainline tasks in the game, he hadn’t deeply understood the game’s background.

After reading numerous books, he now had a brand-new understanding.

The entire Cangxuan Realm was boundless.

Above it, there were three Immortal Dao sects, dominating the world from the clouds.

Below, various ancient holy places and Immortal families stood side by side, controlling the rise and fall of the world.

In addition, there were the Buddhist Pure Lands, Confucian and Daoist sects, unrivaled empires, demon cults, demonic paths, and evil forces, distributed throughout the Cangxuan Realm.

This world had everything Chen Zhixing’s traditional concept of a fantasy world should have.

And their Chen family, residing in Ziwei Mountain, was once one of the Immortal families.

Five thousand years ago, Chen Family’s ancestor Chen Xuanfeng achieved the Immortal Realm, and the Chen family subsequently rose to become a Immortal family.

At that time, they were exceedingly prosperous and glorious.

However, with the disappearance of Chen Xuanfeng three thousand years ago, the Chen family naturally declined.

Now, the most powerful member of the Chen family is Chen Daoyan, who is at the Nirvana Realm.

Not to mention the Immortal Realm, even whether there is a Apex realm expert in the family remains unknown.

However, Chen Zhixing, who was familiar with the game’s storyline, knew that in the Chen family’s forbidden land in the back mountains, there was a direct grandson of Chen Xuanfeng who had entered the Apex Realm.

This person was the Chen family’s anchor.

He clearly remembered that in the main storyline, after the antagonist Chen Zhixing’s death, the Chen family, having offended the protagonist, was doomed to collapse.

At that time, this Apex realm ancestor of the Chen family appeared.

As a result, the protagonist received the favor of a saintess from the Immortal sect, who asked a Apex realm expert from the Immortal sect to assist the protagonist, and they decisively killed the Chen family’s ancestor on Ziwei Mountain.

The Chen family became a backdrop for the protagonist’s rise, truly falling apart and collapsing.

"I need to act quickly."

Chen Zhixing’s eyes flickered with contemplation.

If he waited passively until the plot reached the point where he offended the protagonist, it might be too late.

He must seize the opportunity before the protagonist’s powers and connections with the Immortal sect are fully established, and eliminate the protagonist.

Only then could he and his family’s fate be rewritten.

"In other words, right now, I’m essentially racing against the protagonist, who is still unknown in the world."

Chen Zhixing’s eyes shone with determination.
