When Chen Zhaosheng saw Chen Zhixing transform into a peach in front of him, he was utterly shattered.

All the hair on his body stood on end, and his first thought was to reach for the Dragon-Subduing Blade at his waist, which was originally just for decoration.

This was instinct.

An instinct alerting him to immense danger, an instinct intolerant of everything before his eyes, wishing to resort to violence to obliterate it all!

This instinct even suppressed his reliance on his cultivation as a Nirvana Realm cultivator.

In a word.

I want to chop him to pieces!!!

It was merely the beastly nature rooted deeply in his genes as a human, that caused Chen Zhaosheng to have such instincts. This was due to his lack of mastery over his Nirvana Realm cultivation, yet this inherent instinct within the body is the most fundamental aspect of a person.

The subsequent manifestations like the Spring Tree Aspect, Black Tortoise Aspect, and the Saint King Map were products of calculation after this beastly nature was suppressed by reason.

Simply put, upon discovering Chen Zhixing 'dead' before him, Chen Zhaosheng truly went mad for a moment.

But fortunately.

The madness came quickly and left just as swiftly.

Especially when he found the couple, Chen Zhixing and his wife, appearing in Longevity Palace, Chen Zhaosheng regained his previously refined demeanor, as if nothing had happened.

He even had the mood to inquire about the origin of the peach from Chen Zhixing.

"Zhixing, if I'm not mistaken, this peach should be the Wood Spirit Flat Peach, consuming one could extend life by a century, and for us Nirvana Realm cultivators it could even enhance cultivation. Where did you get it from?"

First, it was Chen Zhixing's 'residual soul' who delivered the peach, and then Chen Zhixing himself appeared before him. With Chen Zhaosheng's wisdom, it's natural for him to deduce that the peach was sent by Chen Zhixing.

However, the method of sending the peach...

Recalling the earlier scene that drove him mad, Chen Zhaosheng's mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Void Creatures, a new technique I've comprehended, I just formed the divine technique and used it to show you." When saying this, Chen Zhixing looked at Chen Zhaosheng with a smile in his eyes.

Yes, his approach just now was somewhat inappropriate.

But.

Hmm, Chen Zhaosheng isn't like his mother Yingy Shuangshuang, an occasional scare to lighten the mood; this has always been the way Chen Zhixing and this cousin of his interact.

After all, he wouldn't scare him into a faint!

As for being childish or whether the 'boy who cried wolf' situation would arise.

Hmm, very childish.

Chen Zhixing knew, but besides this way, how else could they express camaraderie and maintain a friendly relationship?

They can't beat Chen Zhaosheng every time, right?

Chen Zhixing pondered strangely in his heart.

Chen Zhaosheng did not know what Chen Zhixing was thinking. After greeting Xu Qingqing, he changed his expression to a more serious one as he spoke to Chen Zhixing:

"I was just about to go find you, and it's good you came directly."

"Looking for me? For what matter?"

"There's news from Celestial Saint Palace, this time the positioning of the Descent includes our Southern Domain. Within a month, external entities may start appearing within the South Island. Celestial Saint Palace means for us to prepare in advance."

When Chen Zhaosheng said this, a trace of coldness flashed across his face: "This time, our Chen family is only responsible for Jiangzhou. The territories of Qing State's Meng family and Huai State's Sikong family, which were previously conquered, will be taken over by Celestial Saint Palace."

Hearing this, Chen Zhixing frowned.

Qing State is not solely the possession of the Meng family, and Huai State does not only contain the Sikong family.

For noble families, the Descent is both calamity and opportunity.

The common people without cultivation, facing beings descending, met with endless disasters brought by Outer Heaven Evil Demons, naturally find it hard to resist.

But for noble families like the Chen Family, the Descent signifies new things, represents new heritage, entrances to new worlds, and resources.

The intervention of Celestial Saint Palace, taking over the territories of the Meng family and Sikong family that were previously conquered by the Chen family, undoubtedly infringes on part of the Chen Family's interests. However, the current Ziwei Chen Family doesn't have the power to protect three states by itself.

"What are you planning to do?" After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhixing still spoke up: "Ancestor Tianyuan isn't here, I just advanced to the Peak Realm, at present, the power of my Chen family can only safeguard Jiangzhou, without other Peak Realm to dispatch to other states."

Chen Zhixing spoke of the matter, wanting to lay claims on territories in other states, at the very least requires a Peak Realm individual dispatched to support.

It should be known that within the East Profound Thirteen States, there reside hundreds of Longevity Families. This represents the power of hundreds of 'Pseudo-Longevity Realm', as any Longevity Family capable of enduring must have the foundation of 'Pseudo-Longevity Realm'.

Either Longevity Soldiers, or Longevity Realm Array, or perhaps puppets, talismans, spirit beasts, secret techniques, and the like, this foundation must certainly exist.

Within these hundreds of Longevity Families, those possessing both Longevity Soldiers and Arrays are considered the first class, families like the Ziwei Chen Family fall into this category and serve as state leaders.

Only Long Divine Weapon users fall into the second class, arrays into the third, others are considered the lowest tier!

Even among low-tier families, where there are no Peak Realm individuals stationed, once the family's foundation is activated, they still possess the capability to battle Peak Realm individuals.

Under such circumstances, if the Ziwei Chen Family doesn't wish to be confined to one state and covets others, they must dispatch Peak Realm masters to other states to secure the area, otherwise, how could they manage to share the spoils from those Longevity Families entrenched within their state?

"With Celestial Saint Palace's intervention, what can I do?"
