Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chen Daoshan!

This person is considered one of the most senior individuals in the entire Ziwei Chen Family and is the younger brother of the renowned Chen Daoyan from years past.

However, compared to Chen Daoyan, who once swept through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands undefeated, Chen Daoshan appeared much dimmer without any remarkable achievements.

Later, when Chen Daoyan broke through to the Nirvana realm and took the position of Patriarch, Chen Daoshan accordingly assumed the role of Great Clan Elder of the Ziwei Chen Family.

What is an elder?

Those who share the surname Chen, originating from the same lineage and being close in blood, are elders!

This is different from an Elder; Elders like Zhaoguang and Guichen are not of the original Chen surname. They are descendants of those who followed Chen Xuanfeng in his conquests.

For example, those who originally followed Chen Zhixing, like Dugu Ni and Hua Linghou, now also hold elder positions in the Ziwei Chen Family.

"The elders of our Ziwei Chen Family... are becoming fewer and fewer."

Chen Tianchen, who had hurried over after hearing the news, was somewhat in a daze.

In the First Realm of True Self, the longest lifespan is no more than a thousand years.

This Chen Daoshan was not much younger than Chen Daoyan, so decades ago, he had already announced a closed-door seclusion and was almost in semi-retirement within the family.

Everyone thought that perhaps this Great Clan Elder, Chen Daoshan, was already approaching the Celestial Five Declines, entering final meditation in his seclusion place.

No one expected that this Great Clan Elder would one day break through to the Nirvana Realm!

"With the Great Clan Elder breaking through the Nirvana realm, we naturally should pay him a visit."

Chen Zhixing smiled slightly, and with Chen Tianchen and others, headed towards the side hall where the Great Clan Elder resided.

Moments later.

In a great hall overrun with weeds, Chen Zhixing saw an elderly man whose hair and beard were already matted.

Chen Daoshan was very old; although chronologically younger than Chen Daoyan, compared to Chen Daoyan's imposing and vigorous appearance, he looked pitifully old, as if ready to be blown over by the wind, resembling a skinny reed in an oversized coat.

However, his usually cloudy eyes were now bright.

"Great Clan Elder!"

Accompanied by hearty laughter, Chen Zhixing, Chen Tianchen, and others stepped towards Chen Zhixing.

"Patriarch!"

Seeing Chen Zhixing arrive, Chen Daoshan did not act superior at all, immediately preparing to bow.

"Oh!"

A large hand supported Chen Daoshan, and Chen Zhixing smiled slightly, saying:

"In terms of seniority, I should call you Second Great Uncle, and it should be me saluting you, how could you bow to a junior like me?"

"No, no, you are the Patriarch; the family holds the Patriarch highest, and we must not forget the family's etiquette."

Chen Daoshan hurriedly shook his head, and bowed.

He then lowered his head, continuously observing Chen Zhixing.

Just one glance, and he felt that this current Patriarch was like a radiant sun, dazzlingly bright.

His own cultivation, half a step into the Nirvana realm, felt like a small boat in a furious ocean before Chen Zhixing, seemingly ready to capsize at any moment!

"Truly, heroes emerge in youth." Chen Daoshan recalled the rumors he had heard recently and couldn't help but sigh.

He originally thought that his elder brother was already invincible, but never expected his descendant to be even more formidable!

In comparison to his descendant's achievements, even his elder brother Daoyan seemed overshadowed, fading into the common crowd.

"Did the Great Clan Elder already overcome the Limit-Breaking Tribulation?"

Feeling Chen Daoshan's aura, Chen Zhixing raised his brows and asked.

"Yes, just a few days ago, I suddenly had a spark of insight; the Celestial Sensing, it was like seeing clear skies through clouds, and I glimpsed a thread of the Nirvana opportunity! And thus broke through Nirvana, passing the Limit-Breaking Tribulation!"

At this, Chen Daoshan's face also filled with a surge of joyous excitement.

Standing slightly behind Chen Zhixing, Chen Tianchen couldn't help but smile internally.

A sudden spark of insight? Celestial Sensing?

Isn't that the work of Zhixing's Holy Light?

Of course, Chen Tianchen did not reveal this; now that the Great Clan Elder had emerged from the brink of death, he would naturally come to realize this in due time.

"Patriarch, I've heard that the Ziwei Chen Family is quite prosperous now; could you take me for a look?"

Chen Daoshan asked tentatively.

"Why not? Let's go, and take the Great Clan Elder to see our current Ziwei Chen Family!"

Chen Zhixing let out a hearty laugh and led Chen Daoshan outside.

And as Chen Daoshan followed Chen Zhixing and others, witnessing the current Ziwei Chen Family, his face was constantly in shock.

"Gasp! How is it that everywhere in our Ziwei Chen Family there's the True Self Realm? Are we holding a grand event today and inviting True Self powerhouses from all over to gather at Ziwei?"

"No, they are all True Self powerhouses of our Ziwei Chen Family, and that's only about half; our Ziwei Chen Family's First Realm of True Self has already surpassed the number one hundred!"

"What?! Our family now has over one hundred in the True Self Realm??!!" Chen Daoshan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"True Self Flower, Celestial Pool Fruit, Nine Nether Divine Grass... My heavens! In our Ziwei Chen Family, picking flowers and grass by the roadside is like finding heavenly materials and earthly treasures?!"

"Wait! Since our Ziwei Chen Family is so prosperous now, why not refurbish the mountain gate? At least clean up the vines over the gate; it doesn't look very elegant!"

"To report to the Great Clan Elder, those are not ordinary vines, but Void Celestial Divine Vines!" Chen Tianchen replied with a smile.

"What use is Void Celestial Divine Vine... wait!!! What did you say? That's Void Celestial Divine Vine? The ancient one with Peak Power?"

Chen Tianchen continued to walk with Chen Daoshan, introducing things cheerfully.

And Chen Daoshan was already feeling a bit dizzy, his mouth never closing along the way, even patting his own face, doubting that he was dreaming.

Along the way, children of the Ziwei Chen Family walked past him with laughter.

When he noticed the pills in their hands were Top-Grade Divine Replenishing Pills, he was struck into a state of shock.

"Young... youngsters! How can these youngsters waste divine pills like this? In our time, only the most talented Chen family descendants could use such Top-Grade Divine Replenishing Pills!"

Watching those children walking away, casually handing divine pills to squirrels and hunting dogs by the roadside, he was trembling with anger.

"Times have changed, Great Clan Elder." Chen Tianchen smiled slightly, "Nowadays, even if our resources were wasted ten times as much, it would last over a hundred years."

"???"

As Chen Tianchen took Chen Daoshan to a square.

A group of young members of the Ziwei Chen Family were practicing swordplay with enthusiasm. Chen Daoshan nodded slightly, then looked at an elderly man with white hair sitting calmly above the square, nodding with a slight smile, and his face changed immediately.

"Sword Demon Dugu Ni?! No, this person is a Great Demon, how did he come to the Ziwei Chen Family..."

Chen Daoshan was shocked, about to speak.

"Patriarch."

Dugu Ni turned his gaze towards Chen Zhixing and immediately stepped forward to pay respects.

"You've broken through to the Nirvana realm?" Chen Zhixing smiled and nodded.

"Yes, thanks to the Nirvana Divine Flower from the Patriarch, my true essence has fully transformed into Nirvana Power, stepping into the Nirvana realm."

Dugu Ni spoke with a smile.
