Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 83: News of the Strongest Protagonist in History!

In the grand hall, on a cold stone throne.

Chen Daoyan sat tall and imposing, exuding an aura of power and dominance. His long white hair flowed freely, and his brow was furrowed with a dignified presence that commanded respect, making it impossible for others to meet his gaze directly.

"Zhixing, come sit."

Chen Daoyan gestured to the seat beside him.

"Alright."

Chen Zhixing didn't hesitate. He plopped down next to Chen Daoyan and immediately grabbed a pot of spirit tea from the stone table in front of him, gulping it down in one go.

As the spirit tea went down his throat, it instantly transformed into pure, rich spiritual energy that coursed through his body, sweeping away the fatigue from his long journey.

"Elder You has already told me about your performance at the Ruan family. You did well," Chen Daoyan smiled and continued, "Also, I took a look at that young lady from the Ruan family. She's first-class in both looks and talent. In the future, her achievements will at least reach the True Self Realm. What do you think? Care to consider it?"

"..." Chen Zhixing was a bit helpless. "Patriarch, every time we talk, it's always about this. You're giving me a lot of pressure."

"What's the pressure?" Chen Daoyan laughed heartily. "A family's prosperity depends on its descendants! For a family to thrive, it must continuously expand and grow, flourishing with people!

"Your talent is so high. If you were to join with that young lady from the Ruan family, who knows, you might give birth to another heaven-blessed prodigy. As the generations pass, our Chen family will be full of dragons, never fading!"

After a brief pause, Chen Daoyan looked at Chen Zhixing with a smile. "Am I right, Zhixing?"

"What you're saying makes sense," Chen Zhixing sighed. "But, Patriarch, I'm only ten years old! Isn't it a bit early?"

"Wrong, you're already eleven. Yesterday was your eleventh birthday."

Chen Daoyan waved his hand dismissively and continued with a chuckle, "Age is merely a mundane measure of time. It's meaningless to dwell on it. When you walk out, with your appearance and mindset, who would think you're eleven? Does age still matter?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhixing was slightly taken aback. If Chen Daoyan hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that he'd already reached eleven years old.

"I didn't realize it's been eleven years since I came to this world."

Chen Zhixing couldn't help but feel sentimental.

Time often feels slow while passing, but only when looking back does one realize that a decade has gone by in the blink of an eye.

"Alright, I'll consider it," Chen Zhixing nodded, putting the matter to the back of his mind for now.

"That's more like it. I've already arranged for that young lady from the Ruan family to be at the Third Peak. You two should get along well."

Chen Daoyan smiled before shifting the tone of the conversation. "Zhixing, I called you here today for two main matters."

"Go ahead." Seeing his serious expression, Chen Zhixing straightened up.

"The first matter is about Bai Shi, the one who saved Chen Tianchen in the Southern Borders and caused such a big mess in Youzhou. He’s probably your friend, right?"

Chen Daoyan's face turned serious as he looked at Chen Zhixing and spoke slowly.

"Hmm?"

Chen Zhixing felt a jolt in his heart.

"Don’t rush to deny it," Chen Daoyan glanced at him and shook his head. "Your movements are too similar. You were in the Southern Borders, and he was in the Southern Borders. You were in Youzhou, and so was he. You might fool others, but you can't fool me."

Pausing for a moment, Chen Daoyan smirked and added, "Also, you two have probably known each other for a long time, haven't you? Your rapid cultivation progress, and Tianliang's sudden recovery from his terminal illness, likely have something to do with this friend of yours, right?"

Chen Zhixing remained silent, unsure of how to respond.

He had anticipated that someone might link him to Bai Shi, but he never expected it would be Chen Daoyan—and that he would figure it out so quickly!

"Yes."

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Zhixing nodded.

"Don’t be so tense. I’m not interested in how you know each other or what your relationship is. Everyone in this world has their little secrets, right?"

Chen Daoyan took a sip of tea and smiled.

"I bring this up just to tell you—have your friend keep a low profile for a while. The Sword Master of Haori is going mad, searching everywhere for your friend."

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. Bai Shi's actions in the Southern Borders are only known to a few people within the family. Outsiders won’t connect it to you."

"Alright, I understand." Chen Zhixing nodded earnestly, giving Chen Daoyan a grateful look.

"Hmm."

Chen Daoyan set down his teacup and, with a relaxed smile, added, "But honestly, even if the Sword Master of Haori traces things back to our Chen family, it wouldn't matter."

"Hmm?"

Chen Daoyan didn’t elaborate but instead looked into the distant void outside the hall, smiling faintly. "When we were younger, I once crossed paths with that Sword Master of Haori."

"You fought him?" Chen Zhixing's eyebrows raised in curiosity. "How did it go?"

"The result?"

Chen Daoyan raised three fingers and said with a light chuckle, "Three moves. I broke his natal sword, Qiannuo Peak!"

"That Sword Master of Haori swore in front of me that if he ever saw me in the Eastern Xuan Domain again, he would lower his head in submission!"

Chen Zhixing was slightly stunned, surprised as he looked at the elderly man before him.

"Zhixing, I’m not weak, and neither is the Ziwei Chen family!"

"Looking across the entire Eastern Xuan Domain, there are several forces capable of rivaling us. But... unless an Immortal Realm cultivator shows up, who dares claim they can definitely overpower our Chen family?"

Chen Daoyan spoke in a low voice.

His voice was soft, yet it carried a thundering impact that reverberated through the room.

He glanced meaningfully at Chen Zhixing and then smiled. "Kid, there’s a lot about our Chen family's secrets that you still don't know."

Chen Zhixing’s eyes gleamed with deep thought.

Indeed.

The Ziwei Chen family, where he resided, had once been a glorious and mighty family of Immortal Realm cultivators. Even if they had declined, could they truly be as simple as they appeared?

"Alright, let me tell you about the second matter."

Chen Daoyan smiled and cleared his throat. "You should have heard about the Eastern Xuan Domain Grand Competition. It's not far off now.

"The Xu family of Yunzhou, along with other factions we’re allied with, like the Taichu Holy Land and the Qianyang Academy, are planning to come to our Chen family. They want their young disciples to discuss and spar with ours.

"On the one hand, it's a chance for mutual learning, which might stimulate growth through friendly competition. On the other hand, it’s an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with these factions."

"I’ve already agreed, so go and prepare."

"The Eastern Xuan Domain Grand Competition?" Chen Zhixing raised his eyebrows, his narrow eyes narrowing further as something seemed to come to mind.

The Eastern Xuan Domain Grand Competition!

If he remembered correctly, there was a heaven-fated protagonist who would rise to prominence during this very competition, soaring to new heights!

That grand competition would become a one-man show, with this protagonist shining far above everyone else!

All the other geniuses in the competition would end up becoming stepping stones for this heaven-fated protagonist’s rise!

"So the plotline for the Eastern Xuan Domain Grand Competition is about to start?" Chen Zhixing muttered to himself. Thinking of the information about the protagonist of this competition, a serious expression crept onto his face.

The heaven-fated protagonist who would rise during this competition was leagues ahead of the likes of Ye Chen and Lin Feng.

Even among the nine heaven-fated protagonists, this one would rank in the top three!

In fact, in his previous life, countless players of The Great Cultivation referred to this character as the strongest protagonist in history!
