What the Snow Demon King said about cultivation is about completing oneself.

As for the Longevity Realm, the Snow Demon King described it vividly: reaching the Longevity Realm is like crossing a bridge, and the evil wolf on the other side of the bridge is the key to whether a cultivator can attain longevity!

".....Snow Demon King Ancestor, your explanation may differ from my understanding."

Chen Zhixing responded in this way.

"How is it different?" the Snow Demon King asked curiously. In fact, the answer she gave was already a summary about the Peak Realm from many Peak and Longevity Realm cultivators. Even if Chen Zhixing is extraordinarily talented, he should be able to overthrow this theory.

"Different from my understanding, one part is correct, but not completely comprehensive," Chen Zhixing thought, "for instance, the bearing capacity of the bridge, the strength of the wolf on the other side, the means to kill the wolf, whether I can turn the enemy into a friend, and make the wolf work for me."

Chen Zhixing shared some of his own inferences, which elicited a faint smile from the Snow Demon King.

"Child, what you mentioned may be something to explore in the future, but that's for you younger generation. We, the past pathfinders, can only provide you with what we feel are correct answers. These answers may not be entirely right, but they are the ones we've summarized that work, allowing you to save some time."

Chen Zhixing nodded, already knowing it would be like this. When senior experts in the Profound Cyan Realm guide the juniors, they primarily aim for not making mistakes rather than achieving success, and the closer one is to the juniors, the more it's the case. Chen Zhixing himself didn't hold much hope.

After thinking it over, Chen Zhixing asked again, "Ancestor, is there anything else?"

"What else do you want to know?"

"That coffin, I want to know how much you know about the black coffin depicted on that mural, Ancestor. Can you tell me all about it?"

This time, the Snow Demon King Ancestor didn't answer him but directly refused with a stern face.

"That's not something you should know about, at least not before you cultivate to the Longevity Realm. Don't come asking me again, and don't explore the secrets of the black coffin!"

Leaving this remark, the door of the Demon King Hall suddenly opened, and a fierce cold wind blew as if trying to whisk Chen Zhixing away.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing knew it was the Snow Demon King sending him off, so he didn't linger further and chose to turn around and leave.

He understood he couldn't uncover the secrets within the black coffin.

...

"The black coffin from beyond the heavens, the Divine Tree and Fallen Heart Flame of the same origin, is there a connection between the Three Great Sacred Lands and the once Immortal Imperial Court, and what secrets are hidden in the seemingly cheat-like abilities of the nine Celestial Chosen Protagonists?"

"Master, what you're saying seems really hard to understand."

"Don't eavesdrop on me talking."

"Oh, alright, Master. When are we going home?"

"Since the matters have been clarified, let's go back now."

"Matters?" Cyan Pheasant Sword Spirit asked in surprise, "Master, what did you just ask your grandmother about? Didn't you only ask about the cultivation realms, and you weren't satisfied with the Snow Demon King's elder's answer, so you've already obtained the answer?"

"Who told you that was what I asked?" Chen Zhixing glanced in surprise at the Cyan Pheasant floating before him.

"Huh? Then... was it about the black coffin?"

"Dummy, I asked how much time I have left to impact the Longevity Realm, and if I really make the breakthrough, who will be my allies and who my enemies."

Cyan Pheasant Sword Spirit: "???"

When did you ask that, I didn't know!

Could it be my memory is failing???

"Then... Master, what's the answer..."

Feeling that Chen Zhixing seemed to somewhat dislike it, the Sword Spirit, slightly uneasy, asked.

"Didn't the Snow Demon King elder say it? Those people don't really want me to break through to Longevity, but neither do they underestimate me, so as long as I reach Peak, I'll encounter trouble. And if I show signs of breaking through to Longevity, definitely Longevity Realm Cultivators will come to block my way! As for my biggest enemy at the moment, of course, it's the Daluo Taoist Lands. Didn't you catch that?"

"You... when did you say all that!"

"Idiot!"

"You... you... Master, you're bullying me!!!"

...

Bullying a Sword Spirit that can't read the air naturally brings no sense of achievement.

However, the biggest benefit from Chen Zhixing's trip was learning what Peak Cultivators need to face when breaking through to Longevity.

He learned from the Celestial Saint Palace that they hoped he would step into Sword Dao.

He learned from his family ancestor Chen Tianyuan that Golden Nature can be mutually seized.

He understood from the back-up left by the Sword Immortal who was the previous owner of the Sword Spirit that many so-called opportunities conceal the arrangements of a Longevity True Monarch.

As his maternal grandmother, the Snow Demon King also reminded him that proving Dao into Longevity requires crossing a bridge and killing a wolf.

Although she mentioned not getting too fat, or else the bridge might not withstand his footsteps.

But the hidden meaning...

"On one hand, it's warning me that the bridge carrying the Chen Family at the moment is the Celestial Saint Palace. If the Chen Family develops too fast, they'll be targeted by the Celestial Saint Palace. If we move too slowly, we'll be wiped out by future enemies... this is making me walk a tightrope.

On the other hand, it's also a reminder that the experiences summarized by predecessors are merely theirs; though they managed through, it doesn't guarantee I'll have the same way... Wait!"

Thinking of this, Chen Zhixing suddenly paused.

In the next moment, even with his cultivation, he couldn't help but utter a curse!

"So that's the Golden Nature! So speaking this way! When I cross the bridge, I may face not just one evil wolf???"
