The Longevity Realm cultivators of the Noble Families are merely chives cultivated by the Three Great Sacred Lands.

It's just that this method of cultivation is relatively gentle, gentle enough for everyone to accept, and it's even a position that others can't seize.

This inevitably reminded Chen Zhixing of a novel he read in his previous life.

The Devourer.

"This is a kind of virtuous cycle. What the Three Great Sacred Lands need from our Noble Families is merely a stable institutional environment, along with the remains of Longevity Realm cultivators after their demise. I believe our Chen Family has no reason to reject this model of cooperative symbiosis." This was what Chen Zhaosheng said after a brief silence, expressing his attitude.

Seeing Chen Zhixing still silent, Chen Zhaosheng added, "Of course, if you have a different opinion, we can discuss it. After all, we are family."

Chen Zhaosheng felt there was nothing wrong with what he said, and his tone was quite gentle, but he found that Chen Zhixing remained silent, seemingly unsatisfied, and couldn't help but ask again: "Zhixing, what's wrong?"

Chen Zhixing shook his head, seeing Chen Zhaosheng and Fourth Uncle both looking at him, seemingly wanting an answer, he softly said:

"I'm wondering, if even you have such thoughts, whether other Noble Families also hold the same view, thinking from the bottom of their hearts that there is nothing wrong with this cooperative symbiosis model."

"Is there... something wrong with it?" Chen Tianchen was stunned. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the symbiotic model between the Noble Families and the Sacred Lands. The Sacred Lands did not excessively oppress the Noble Families; instead, they gave the Noble Families enough respect and living space, even providing them with a survival guarantee, making the model a win-win situation for both parties.

"It's nothing."

Chen Zhixing sighed, "Fourth Uncle, you and Brother Zhaosheng continue chatting, I have some matters to deal with and will be heading back first."

Saying this, without waiting for the two to react, Chen Zhixing tore open a fissure in the void with one hand and walked in.

Seeing this, Chen Tianchen smiled wryly and looked at Chen Zhaosheng: "Zhaosheng, Zhixing is just in a bad mood, don't take it to heart. Now that you're back home, tell Fourth Uncle if you lack anything."

Chen Zhaosheng, however, did not respond, instead standing dazedly in place, staring at the closing fissure with shock in his eyes.

"Zhaosheng?"

"Oh, sorry Fourth Uncle." Called back to his senses by Chen Tianchen, Chen Zhaosheng shook his head and then said, "Fourth Uncle, has Zhixing cultivated to this level already, being able to tear space?"

"Huh? Is there anything strange about that?" Chen Tianchen replied puzzled, "Zhixing is a genius. Although tearing space is a means only possible in the Peak Realm, using it in the Nirvana Realm shouldn't be an issue for Zhixing, considering in the past tens of thousands of years, no cultivator with talent surpassing his might have existed."

"..." Chen Zhaosheng smiled wryly, "Indeed, there is no issue. Yes, Zhixing's outstanding talent is incomparable to ours."

Not an issue, huh!

Ripping the void with a raise of the hand, this is the hallmark of a Longevity True Monarch! Perhaps extremely powerful Peak cultivators might use it, but it's certainly not widespread!

To be blunt, many True Monarchs who have just stepped into the Longevity Realm, just like the Wuduolong who was devoured by Chen Zhaosheng, couldn't use it in time during the Longevity Realm, let alone as casually as Chen Zhixing just demonstrated.

'How on earth did Zhixing achieve this, is the gap between us truly this vast?'

Thinking of this, even though Chen Zhaosheng had mentally prepared himself before returning home, a wave of unwillingness still surged up.

Even he, who reversed and took over Wuduolong, could no longer keep up with Chen Zhixing's pace, is this life truly destined to be dominated by Chen Zhixing alone?

...

Chen Zhixing wasn't aware of how much his act of tearing the void had shocked Chen Zhaosheng.

In fact, even if he knew, it wouldn't matter.

Tearing the void was something he learned from his ancestor, Chen Tianyuan. Initially, it was a bit difficult to learn, but later, Chen Zhixing discovered he could utilize the Cyan Pheasant's Sword Intent to break open the void, which was considered an entry point. And now, even without the Cyan Pheasant's assistance, he could tear the void with his physical body and move within.

As for the void pulling he would face while walking in the void, the force was entirely within the endurance range for someone who had trained in the Ox Demon Shattering Star Fist.

Chen Zhixing returned to his own courtyard.

In the courtyard, his mother, Yingy Shuangshuang, was counting pearls with Xu Qingqing. Seeing him return, she didn't even lift her head, intentionally holding up a black pearl the size of a baby's fist, scrutinizing it under the sun.

"Qingqing, look at how lustrous this pearl is. When my grandson is born, how about using this pearl to make him a pendant?"

Xu Qingqing smiled without speaking, just sneaking a few glances at Chen Zhixing.

Seeing this, Yingy Shuangshuang put on a stern face and said to Chen Zhixing, "You still know to come back? Didn't even say goodbye before leaving, and even demolished the house before you left, hmm? Is it that you despise the smallness of the Ziwei Mountain at home, unable to afford a big Buddha like you?"

Yingy Shuangshuang planned to reprimand Chen Zhixing a few times, lest he gets too carried away, especially since Xu Qingqing was now heavily pregnant. She hoped her son could spend more time with this daughter-in-law she was very satisfied with.

And then....

"Mom, I've encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation and need to seclude myself for a while. No need to call me for meals in the coming days."

Bam.

The door of the newly built house was closed from within.

Yingy Shuangshuang: "???"

"What's up with him, Qingqing, he...."
