"Master, what are you talking about? The more I listen, the more confused I get!"

At this moment, a person and a sword had already flown back to Jiangzhou, and the Ziwei Mountain ahead was faintly visible. However, the Sword Spirit still couldn't figure out what Chen Zhixing had been mumbling about during the journey.

This made the Cyan Pheasant very upset!

So upset that it wanted to turn around and slash him!

But Chen Zhixing didn't intend to pay attention to it. Now, he really wanted to find a peer with high potential who might encounter the same situation to share his discovery!

As a Sword Spirit, the Cyan Pheasant was obviously not qualified.

.....

So when he returned home and saw Chen Zhaosheng,

Chen Zhixing's first reaction was not to be surprised that his cousin chose to return. Instead, he grabbed the gradually awkward-smiling Chen Zhaosheng and rambled on about his discoveries concerning the transition from Peak Realm to Longevity Realm.

The closed-off Ziwei Hall.

Chen Zhixing glanced at Fourth Uncle Chen Tianchen, who chose not to leave but stood between the two brothers intending to be a mediator. Then, he looked at Chen Zhaosheng, who still had a smiling face, pondered for a moment, and spoke.

"I seem to have discovered something. You two help me see if there are any omissions."

"Zhixing, Zhaosheng just got home, and today is also the day your uncle takes his new position. Is it appropriate to keep him here in the Longevity Hall? After all...."

"Fourth Uncle, it's okay, let Zhixing speak," Chen Zhaosheng interrupted Chen Tianchen and shook his head towards him, "Cultivation is important, and my father is also a cultivator. He can understand."

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing nodded, then looked at Fourth Uncle and said, "Fourth Uncle, the words I'm about to say, you better record them, but don't show to too many people. Keep it as a family secret, only for direct descendants with the hope of achieving Dao and Longevity who are not in the Nirvana Realm to view."

Hearing Chen Zhixing say this, Chen Tianchen finally got serious and indeed took up a paper to prepare to record.

Chen Zhixing began, "First, the elements necessary to achieve Dao and Longevity are cultivation technique, talent, foundation, Tao Fruit, Golden Nature, and luck, all indispensable!

First, the cultivation technique must have the potential to reach the Longevity Realm, which is the foundation for a cultivator to aim for Longevity!

Secondly, talent. If your talent is not enough, cultivation is too slow, and there's no need for me to elaborate much.

The third foundation and the fourth Tao Fruit are also the most important, and this is the focus of what I want to say."

Chen Zhixing, with a hint of seriousness, addressed the smiling Chen Zhaosheng before him: "You, who possess the Saint King Map, should know the importance of the foundation. If a cultivator wishes to have a chance to achieve Dao and Longevity, there must be a balance between these two, so as to become one and achieve the Peak. But this Peak cannot be casually achieved! Otherwise, it will be a lifelong regret!"

"You actually thought of this," Chen Zhaosheng glanced at Chen Zhixing, "Worthy of being a True Dragon of our Chen Family. Indeed, the cultivator's foundation and Tao Fruit are like the foundation and main structure of a building. If either is not sturdy, even if achieving Dao to the peak, it's like a castle in the air."

Hearing this, Chen Zhixing relaxed slightly, "Although there's a bit of a difference, the meaning is not far off. What I want to say is, if you want to achieve Dao and Longevity, our Chen Family's foundation should not be too solid, but should be appropriate! Compared to being too solid, the appropriate is the true foundation of Longevity."

"What?" Chen Tianchen was wide-eyed upon hearing this: "Isn't it better if the foundation is more solid?"

"Fourth Uncle, just keep recording! If I'm wrong, let future generations refute it!"

".....Alright."

"The fruit nurtured by an appropriate foundation is the Tao Fruit, which is vibrant and can nurture Golden Nature. However, blindly pursuing a strong foundation and peak battle power, missing the right parameters for oneself, will result in a deformed Tao Fruit, which absolutely cannot nurture the so-called Golden Nature. Just like Ancestor Tianyuan, who cultivated for 1,800 years, his foundation was ten times, a hundred times stronger than the First Ancestor. Yet, all these years, the ancestor couldn't give rise to Golden Nature, and this is the reason!"

"You speak of Dao." Chen Zhaosheng frowned, seemingly having a different opinion, "According to what I know, Golden Nature within the Tao Fruit also varies in strength. If a stronger foundation can give rise to Golden Nature, surely it would be stronger than that nurtured by an ordinary Tao Fruit! There's no logic in a weaker one yielding more than a stronger one! Since ancient times, it's been survival of the fittest, the logic of the fields!"

However....

"How strong is considered strong? No matter how strong you are, if you miss the parameter, you miss it. Twisted parameters can't possibly nurture Golden Nature!"

"Then the Peak of the strong from ancient times to the present, are they all weak...."

"They corresponded to the right parameters!"

Decisively interrupting Chen Zhaosheng's words, at this moment, Chen Zhixing's eyes grew even brighter, "It's not that being strong with parameters doesn't work, but the abilities that arise from being strong must match the interval. Just like a Golden Nature's first segment is ten to twenty, and the second segment jumps to one to two hundred. You, being in ten to twenty, can nurture Golden Nature, and being strong in the range of one hundred to two hundred, can naturally nurture an even stronger second-segment Golden Nature!"

"Between the two numbers...."

"Can't nurture it! It's like Ancestor Tianyuan! Missing the parameter means you can't nurture it! His values exceeded ten to twenty, but also did not reach one hundred to two hundred, thereby missing the parameter entirely, so there is no Golden Nature that corresponds to his Tao Fruit, naturally unable to nurture Golden Nature and thus break through to Longevity!"

Finally saying all that he had been holding inside, Chen Zhixing exhaled a long breath, feeling much more at ease.

Yes, this theory was a conclusion Chen Zhixing arrived at after reviewing numerous Longevity Realm techniques. Among dozens of Longevity techniques, some are strong, some are weak. Their commonality is that the strongest are extremely strong and focus on one point, walking one Great Tao until the end, placing all on that singular path, leaving no room for regrets!

The weak ones are like the Five Elements Qi Collection Method of the Chen Family...

"If you say so, it's not without reason. But the cultivation techniques are not the same daily. How then do you grasp the strength between them..." Pondering for a moment, Chen Zhaosheng still found that what Chen Zhixing said had merit. In the memory of Wuduolong, it seemed there were similar rumors within the Immortal Imperial Court.

"As to whether there's any truth, let our Chen Family descendants summarize and evaluate. Now I'll talk about the second point. Fourth Uncle, this point must be written extremely conspicuously, and there absolutely must be no omissions!"

Seeing that Chen Zhaosheng did not object, knowing that what Chen Zhixing said was substantial, Chen Tianchen solemnly nodded, "You say, I'll record, not daring to have the slightest mistake."

"The condensation of Golden Nature has a limit, and within the same era, it's absolutely impossible to condense two identical Golden Natures. And after one Golden Nature is born, until long after its original owner's death, only then will the second Golden Nature be born!"

Crack.

Chen Tianchen's pen broke.

His eyes widened, and at that moment, Chen Tianchen looked at Chen Zhixing as if looking at a demon.

"Zhixing, you...are you serious?"

"I don't know if it's true or not, just record it like this for now."

Chen Zhixing rubbed his temples and continued, "But Golden Nature will not disappear without cause. If a cultivator who practiced the same technique after the previous one with Golden Nature had passed, perhaps they can use some means to inherit this Golden Nature. This time can be as short as a hundred years, as long as a thousand years!"

"Are you speaking of... the Three Great Sacred Lands? Celestial Saint Palace???"

Chen Zhixing nodded, "Based on my hypothesis, if there's no accident, the Golden Nature our first ancestor was taken by the Celestial Saint Palace back then is very likely still on some cultivator practicing our Chen Family technique within the Celestial Saint Palace."

"If it's as you say, since there is a true nature there, doesn't it mean our Chen Family can never cultivate to Longevity Realm again...."

"No, as long as enough time passes, it can still be cultivated. Otherwise, the Celestial Saint Palace wouldn't have protected a Noble Family like ours for so many years."

"So, what they're aiming for is, waiting for our Chen Family to produce a same-origin Longevity," Chen Zhaosheng squinted his eyes.

"Then they'll devour him!"
