Some cautious Masters of the Noble Families might even ponder this issue in their dreams.
Especially when a Holy Land Saint Master like True Monarch Yimiao attacks, it's the best initial plan for all the Longevity Families!
The most comprehensive!
The most practical!
And the answer provided is the purest!
Unlike when True Monarch Tihu, a later stage Longevity Realm, takes action!
If she, Yimiao, dared to make a move against the Longevity Families, what awaited her was a deadly trap laid by a hundred families in the East Continent united against her!!!
Without lips, teeth feel the cold!
This principle is understood by both Master Yimiao and the families of the East Continent!
If they don't act this way to refuse her, allowing her to harm one family today and another tomorrow, it won't be long before they face calamity themselves.
Compared to this, True Monarch Tihu's 'action' last time seemed much more trivial, and no one would care as much.
This wasn't because True Monarch Tihu's realm or cultivation was insufficient, nor because his reputation wasn't large enough, but because he targeted two disobedient third-rate noble families within the Ziwei Chen Family's territory, and even had Chen Zhixing clear the way beforehand, which alerted other families!
If it weren't so.
On the day True Monarch Tihu took action, many Longevity Families from the Southern Domain, including the Ziwei Chen Family, would have united to kill him!
The judgment of this balance, if not done properly.....
...
Back Mountain, Ziwei Star.
Chen Zhaosheng, who had long arrived here, gazed at Chen Zhixing, who was condensing his 'thoughts' in front of him, with eyes that sparkled with divine light.
Heaven knows how immense the shock Chen Zhixing brought him at this moment!
Peak Second Layer....
Peak Third Layer....
Continuously advancing to the pinnacle of the Fourth Layer, where a mass of Chaotic Qi finally reconverged into Chen Zhixing's form!
Five hundred thoughts returned to the main body, and Chen Zhixing's cultivation broke through from the Peak Second Layer to the Fourth! And this is merely the effect of the burden!
"Hmm, withdrew a bit early, but there's no choice, considering the matters at hand.... After it's resolved, I'll have to separate them again."
In the shadow at the corner of his left eye where the image of the Profound Celestial Mirror lay, faint purple aura lingered, like the moonlight-white Cyan Pheasant Sword, which stood firmly by his side. Combined with the hundreds of imperfectly fused thoughts forming ephemeral illusions around him gave Chen Zhixing an aura that seemingly.....
Chen Zhaosheng couldn't describe this strange temperament, as if the person standing before him was no longer the younger cousin he grew up with.
Strange.
Transcendent.
Contradictory.
And a bit enticing.....
"You...."
Just as Chen Zhaosheng was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the Cyan Pheasant Sword on Chen Zhixing's shoulder dim slightly.
As if something inside the sword wanted to forcibly emerge, but was immediately suppressed and forced back.
Seeing this, Chen Zhaosheng's mouth opened slightly: "This is...."
"Hmm, the Golden Nature left by the previous owner of Cyan Pheasant, it seems to have detected my current state being off, wanted to come out and stir trouble, but I suppressed it."
Chen Zhaosheng: "....."
One second.
Two seconds.
Three.....
"Golden....nature?"
"Mm, uh...you interested?"
Seeing Chen Zhaosheng's sudden return to attention-esque attitude, Chen Zhixing pondered and offered: "If you want it, when things settle down, I can think of getting it out and gifting it to you?"
Chen Zhaosheng: "....."
Silence.
Just like that, he stared at Chen Zhixing for a full minute before shaking his head suddenly: "I don't need it, I have my own path to walk. The Cyan Pheasant Sword Immortal's Sword Dao may be excellent, but this shortcut doesn't suit me."
Chen Zhixing just lightly chuckled at this.
He wasn't too surprised by Chen Zhaosheng's choice either.
With the fighting spirit this cousin of his possessed, unless driven to an impasse, he likely wouldn't covet another's Golden Nature. Hmm, Chen Zhixing believed at least before a thousand years, Chen Zhaosheng wouldn't act that way.
If he survives a millennium yet still cannot grow his own Golden Nature..... why wouldn't he go seize it from others? What is he waiting for! Waiting to die?!
Chen Zhaosheng naturally didn't know that just in that brief moment, Chen Zhixing had analyzed his character once more. Confirming no issues on his side, Chen Zhaosheng lifted his gaze heavily to the starry sky above.
"Zhixing, time is about right, regardless of True Monarch Yimiao's intent, let's raise the Ziwei Star."
"Alright."
Chen Zhixing nodded with a smile.
...
Ziwei Star ascended.
Beneath the expansive night, at the peak of the Northern Dipper in the sky, the purple starlight shone brightly.
"Ziwei in control, commanding the heavens"
"Masters of the constellations, transforms the seasons"
"Named as Emperor, discerning fortune and misfortune"
"Above, connecting with Doumu, below, ruling the stars"
First is the Ziwei Emperor Star.
Then comes the Northern Dipper Seven Stars, Southern Dipper Six...
Gouchen, Tianzhu, Tianji, Fish Girl, Tiangou, Coiling Snake, Zao Fu, Wang Liang...
Stars in the sky exuded divine brilliance, sending pillars of starlight cascading down into Jiangzhou.
Fortunate are those in Linjiang City at this moment, to experience the engulfing and encompassing beauty by the vast starry canopy.
Not just Linjiang City.
But most of Jiangzhou!
After Ziwei Star rose, all could feel the gentle power of the stars falling upon them.
At this moment, the illumination of Ziwei Star awakened countless individuals.
And who knows how many eyes were turned towards Jiangzhou at this moment.
"That is.... Ziwei Star!"
"The Chen Family?"
"How many years, how many years since Ziwei Star last shone? Never thought in my lifetime I'd have the chance to witness such a wonder again."
"Something happening in Jiangzhou?"
"Ziwei Star ascends, the Chen Family in crisis, call the ancestor out of seclusion!"
"Madness, absolute madness! Is it not possible to live life well!"
"This Star Map.... The Ziwei Chen Family is in trouble?"
"Let's go, see what's happening!"
Figures dashed across the sky like shooting stars.
An ascending Ziwei Star alerted that the Ziwei Chen Family had been thrown to the brink of destruction.
In this moment, regardless of past grievances with the Ziwei Chen Family, any Noble Sect Cultivator with control over Longevity Soldiers made their move.
Celestial Phenomenon might not be the only marvel the world had to offer, for human prowess rivals that beyond the heavens.
...
Profound Bird Crossing was steadily making its way to Jiangzhou at a balanced pace from the distant border of Si State and Jiangzhou.
The peculiar sight of Ziwei Star taking flight could naturally be seen by those on the Crossing.
Saintess Yimiao leaned on the railing of the boat, her ample bosom pressed firmly beneath her while her alluring eyes gazed distantly at the familiar 'scene' in the sky, her lips curling involuntarily.
She has seen this spectacle five times in her life over three thousand years.
This time marks the sixth!
"I must say, that drunkard Chen Changfeng was quite adept in the way of array formations, considering he still managed to set up something like this."
Meanwhile, Qin Zhenzheng, who still wasn't sure why he was there, looked bewildered.
Ziwei Star?
The Mountain Protection Array of the Ziwei Chen Family? Isn't it supposed to be the Ziwei Divine Prohibition?
"But the younger generation of the Chen Family lacks resolve; we haven't yet entered Jiangzhou and they are already scared enough to raise their turtle shell."
Oh, it came to her.
Saint Master Yimiao laughed heartily as she embraced Qin Zhenzheng in a playful shake, remembering why exactly she was here.
Oh yes, the Profound Bird Crossing was borrowed by Saint Master Yimiao, and she, the Saintess, was the complimentary gift.
She serves as the maid in her spare time, and once Saint Master Yimiao is done with the Profound Bird Crossing, she'd call someone to take this Immortal Ship back.
Oh, isn't being a Saintess a pretty enviable position?
