"Once I break through to the Longevity Realm, there will still be a period of rapid outburst. At that time, I should incorporate all the Dao I've cultivated into the Star Monarch Tao. I may be able to broaden the Star Monarch Tao to the Fifth Order in a short time… no, it should be the middle stage of the Fourth Order, because the path beyond that requires more laws as a foundation, which cannot be forcibly created by myself alone…"
Thinking that what hinders the progress of his own Longevity Tao is not the insight of corresponding laws, but the weakness of the Star Monarch Tao itself needing him to personally nurture it bit by bit, Chen Zhixing furrowed his brows slightly.
However, he soon relaxed his frown.
He had ample time to wait!
One order in Longevity grants three thousand years of life. With the Longevity Fourth Layer, he has ten thousand years of lifespan to cultivate this Star Monarch Tao. Even with the passage of a millennium, as long as one nurtures a Dao, it would have surely grown.
"Of course, this is only the lowest resort. Not to mention, if I really spend ten thousand years nurturing this Star Monarch Tao, by then the Three Great Sacred Lands shall come to reap the fruits, and during the cultivation of the Star Monarch Tao in these thousands of years, I should also divert my focus to the outside world…"
At that moment, Shi Hao's figure emerged in Chen Zhixing's mind.
He wasn't sure how Shi Hao ventured into the outside world in the original game story, but calculating the time, Shi Hao's departure might have been about seven or eight years later, just as the Descent began, and also when the doors between the Celestial Profound Realm and Cosmic Realm opened wide.
"So then, the reason Shi Hao left in his past life was because he caught the Descent's ride?"
Chen Zhixing wasn't surprised at this.
When a person reaches a certain level, things that once seemed puzzling become as clear as looking at lines etched on one's palm, devoid of any mysteries upon careful consideration.
"But speaking of it, if Shi Hao did go to the Cosmic Realm, what did he encounter there that allowed him to become so incredibly powerful in just a century of Descent?"
Chen Zhixing was very much concerned about that treasure that helped Shi Hao become formidable within a century. To be honest, since he accepted Shi Hao as his disciple until now, Chen Zhixing's gains from this 'invincible' one weren't considered much.
Just some fortune and a battle method embedded in a Longevity Bone.
These might still have been somewhat useful when he was in the Nirvana Realm, but now on the brink of mastering the Longevity Law, their usefulness had become almost negligible.
In comparison, Chen Zhixing's aid to Shi Hao was indeed substantial. Not only did he help Shi Hao securely pass through the frail phase of childhood, but he also furnished his foundations with unrivaled strength, so much so that Shi Hao this lifetime is two levels stronger than his original self in both cultivation and foundation, even his temperament!
If he hadn't encountered him, seven or eight years later, Shi Hao would at most be a junior cultivator who had just touched upon the True Self Realm, or more likely, he would still be lingering in the Divine Travel Realm.
But now…
The soon-to-be eleven-year-old Shi Hao had already achieved Divine Travel Perfection, but in terms of cultivation speed, he's even more outrageous than Chen Zhixing back in the day!
"Eight years later, no matter what, Little Stone should have reached late-stage True Self. If fed some pills to enhance cultivation, the Nirvana Realm isn't unimaginable… by then, letting him and Wang Lin descend the mountain together to chance upon his originally destined heaven-defying fortune, if it doesn't work out, then I'll have to intervene myself and take him across to the Cosmic Realm!"
Other opportunities might be relinquished, but this particular one concerning Shi Hao, Chen Zhixing absolutely wouldn't give up.
When the time comes, even if he has to break through barriers forcibly, Chen Zhixing will elevate himself to the utmost limit, and then cross realms to snatch what he knows to be the greatest opportunity the Celestial Profound Realm can offer!
"Above Longevity indeed…"
Thinking of how, over a hundred years later, Shi Hao would return and sweep across everything in the Celestial Profound Realm with an invincible stance, including the Three Great Sacred Lands, with none able to stand beside him.
What kind of godlike speed is this?
Setting aside other matters.
Just the fact that True Monarch Yimiao, a strong practitioner of the Space Tao Seventh Order, didn't have any news of her contest against Shi Hao relayed outside, that the Daluo Taoist Lands directly conceded!
In other words, by then, Shi Hao was at least above the Longevity Ninth Order; otherwise, based on the heritage of the Three Great Sacred Lands alone, they wouldn't have given Shi Hao any chance to flaunt.
"As for True Monarch Yimiao, she may be manageable, for although she can fight, her temperament is peculiar, so maybe when Shi Hao was showing his prowess, she might have secretly applauded, but the Celestial Saint Palace..."
Thinking about the 'Celestial Saint Palace,' a treasure capable of suppressing an entire world, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but feel a toothache.
No other reason.
As the mightiest Longevity Soldier, the Celestial Saint Palace's most fundamental efficacy lies in bearing and subjugating!
"Just how remarkable must Little Stone have been back then, to the point where even the big shots of the Celestial Saint Palace believed he could not be subdued? So, what heaven-defying opportunity did Little Stone encounter in the outside world at that time?"
This was something Chen Zhixing very much wanted to know.
Unfortunately, the time hadn't come; his cultivation still fell short by a bit.
"The Cosmic Realm truly is a noble family that inspires longing...."
...
The people of the Cosmic Realm probably didn't foresee.
While they were arduously tossing a large group of entities deemed as 'problems' from their own world into the Celestial Profound Realm under the guise of the Descent opportunity, on the other end, someone in the Celestial Profound Realm had already planned a sweep of their world as the future Taoist Monarch of Longevity.
Quite excessive indeed.
For whenever the chance of Descent arises, most top-tier cultivators across the universes drifting within the Star Realms adhere to an unspoken rule.
As the true high authorities wielding the rights of the world, they wouldn't genuinely rush to meddle in other worlds.
Tossing troubles over is one matter; dispatching subordinates to exchange resources in another's land is another.
But when someone already wearing shoes rolls up sleeves ready to personally engage now?
What an enmity?
What a hatred?
Not to mention, if they truly did intervene and end up harmed or struck, it wouldn't be a mere joke — it could truly incite battle between the top forces of the two worlds, leading to a relentless end…
The high rulers of the Cosmic Realm hadn't known that someone in the Celestial Profound Realm had them in his sights.
Alright.
Their spirits should be rather high recently, mainly for having successfully tossed another trouble entrenched within the Cosmic Realm over to the other side.
...
Eastern Domain.
The Incense Burning Valley, one of the three sect powers under the Immortal Ascension Sect in the Eastern Domain, as a top-tier vassal power, housed two revealed and two hidden Peak Realm patriarchs holding fort for the sect; in the entire Eastern Domain, it stood as one of the rarest three forces capable of rivaling the noble families of the Eastern Domain!
Yet today.
With a fissure tearing open above the Nine Heavens, within the Incense Burning Valley that was responsible for guarding a domain spanning a hundred thousand miles, the current Sect Leader of Incense Burning Valley couldn't help but change his expression.
"Celestial Fox???"
As soon as his words fell, there was already a figure wielding a spear faster than him, sweeping violently with purple-blue hues at the 'Celestial Fox' that had halfway crossed the passage.
"Celestial Profound Realm's decree, Celestial Fox forbidden from entering; fellow Daoist, please return to Cosmic!"
As the spear swept across, the purple-blue hues stirred up a clouded sky, seemingly gathering up purple-blue energy stretching over a thousand miles, fiercely slamming onto the 'Celestial Fox' at that moment!
In pursuit.
The Sect Leader of Incense Burning Valley, a step too late, stormed into the fissure carrying nine fire dragons and a magical artifact shaped like a pill furnace!
This was already a desperate struggle!
For this was a Celestial Fox!!!
As long as Incense Burning Valley didn't hold this breach, letting the opponent in, regardless of how peaceful the opponent remained afterward, upon receiving news, the Three Great Sacred Lands would demand the clan extermination of all three million associated inhabitants of the Incense Burning Valley!!! And their souls dispersed never to ascend again!!!
