Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

The cold moon hangs high, and the mountain breeze blows gently.

"In this vast realm, where can we find refuge?"

Beside the mountain path, a burly elder, with his disheveled hair flowing like a golden lion, looked despondent, sighing deeply.

Beside him, another middle-aged man carrying a young boy on his back remained silent, lost in thought.

Just as the burly elder was becoming more bewildered and lonely.

The middle-aged man suddenly spoke:

"In today's world, aside from the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages, the Ziwei Chen Family is the most revered. Even if the Profound Celestial Sacred Lands and the Yuu Family joined forces, they might not be a match for the Ziwei Chen Family!"

"Now, I hear that Chen Zhixing, the Master of the Ziwei Star, is opening the mountain gate wide, recruiting disciples extensively. We should take the Little One and seek refuge with the Ziwei Chen Family!"

Upon hearing these words, the burly elder was taken aback, quickly shaking his head:

"No! Although Chen Zhixing is exceptionally gifted and a hero of this era, he is cruel and bloodthirsty. His victims number no less than five fingers, with corpses exceeding a million! He is certainly not a benevolent lord!"

"Moreover, the Ziwei Chen Family is infamous as a demonic purgatory, where demons from all sides converge! If we take the Little One there, how could we survive?"

As he spoke, the burly elder shook his head repeatedly, believing this was not the right path.

"Fifth Master, rumors are as terrifying as flood and beasts. In my view, the evil of the Ziwei Chen Family is largely exaggerated by the people!"

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, shaking his head:

"Recently, the Ziwei Chen Family has exterminated several clans. In just seven years, they have flattened the Qing State Meng Family, Medicine King Valley, Haori Sword Sect, Five Elements Thunder Sect, and the Sikong Family, causing panic and fear, thus generating rumors and alienating the Ziwei Chen Family from the world!"

"Yet, if disregarding the rumors and examining the essence, we find that the Ziwei Chen Family led by Chen Zhixing, while indeed cruel, does not kill without reason; often the clans they conquer have deep feuds with them!"

"Moreover, Chen Zhixing once studied at the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, gaining great fortune there... Have the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands ever suffered any loss because of him?"

"It's rumored that the current dual cultivation method of the Flesh Body Tao and the Spiritual Tao at the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands was created by Chen Zhixing! The fortune gained by conquering the Sikong Family is equally split with the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands!"

"From this, it seems he distinguishes clearly between love and hate! As long as we treat Chen Zhixing with kindness, he will surely treat us kindly in return!"

With these words.

"This..."

The elder with a powerful aura, akin to a golden lion, showed hesitation on his face.

Pa!

The middle-aged man grabbed the elder's wrist seriously, "Fifth Master, I, Jibu, was saved by the master, only then could I have come this far! How could I harm the master's child?"

"In today's world, only the Ziwei Chen Family dares not fear the Yuu Family and the Profound Celestial Sacred Lands! If we join other factions, we might be handed back to that venomous woman's grasp after a second time!"

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Master glanced at the Little One sweating profusely, no longer hesitating, clenched his teeth, "Alright! Then let's go to the Ziwei Chen Family!"

...

...

On the other side.

A small village not far from Lin'an City.

A young man wearing plain clothes, with a resolute face, is constantly flipping through the Book of Confucianism in his hands.

Usually able to immerse himself in reading, the young man found himself unable to concentrate today.

"Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!"

He muttered 'calm down' thrice in his heart, trying to continue immersing himself in the world of books.

After a while.

He looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, closing the book and setting it aside.

Today, he couldn't read a single line.

"Immortal..."

He looked at the distant full moon, recalling what he witnessed today.

A group of elders with white robes, immortal aura, and Taoist demeanor passed through the sky on swords, their voices shaking the heavens, announcing a message.

The message was simple.

The Ziwei Chen Family will open its gates wide, recruiting disciples extensively, regardless of status, all can enter the Ziwei Chen Family and seek cultivation and Immortal Fate!

"If only I could cultivate..."

He clenched his fists, desire flashing in his eyes.

In this world where strength reigns, studying books is far from achieving one's ambitions. Only by becoming a cultivator who can soar the sea in the morning and wander the woods at night, traversing 30,000 miles by sword, can one truly defy destiny and leave a mark in the world!

As he pondered on this.

A rather luxurious carriage slowly entered the village under the moonlight, finally stopping before his house.

"Er Zhu, your fourth uncle is here, come quickly!"

Soon, his mother's voice called out from the house.

"Fourth Uncle?"

The young man called Er Zhu was surprised, quickly jumping off the haystack and heading into the house.

The young man's surname is Wang, with the given name Lin, though the villagers often called him Er Zhu, or bookworm, or big axle.

Soon.

Inside the sparsely furnished room, he saw his fourth uncle, dressed in brocade, exuding wealth.

"Hello, Fourth Uncle."

Wang Lin greeted timidly.

His fourth uncle was often mentioned by his parents.

The Wang Clan in Lin'an City was considered well-off.

However, his father was lacking in abilities and being from a secondary line, had been expelled by the clan in his early years, living as a carpenter in the village to make ends meet.

As for his fourth uncle, despite his low status in the clan, he maintained a good relationship with Wang Lin's father.

Rumor had it that the fourth uncle joined the Black Dragon Gang as a fighter.

In recent years, the Black Dragon Gang somehow became involved with a noble person, growing from a small gang to a major faction with influence throughout the Yanzhou region!

His fourth uncle, as an initial elder of the gang, naturally rose in status and was now considered a significant figure in the clan.

"You must be Wang Lin? Not bad, not bad, I often hear your father mention you, saying you have a resilient character, good potential."

The fourth uncle smiled, rubbing Wang Lin's head, then turned to Wang Lin's parents and continued talking.

"Third Brother, years ago, you took the blame for me, leading to the family's expulsion and becoming a rural farmer. All these years, I've felt guilty whenever I think of it..."

The fourth uncle spoke sincerely to Wang Lin's father, now hunched over.

As he spoke, the fourth uncle smiled.

"Fortunately, I've been lucky these years. The gang received favor from a noble figure, allowing me to rise rapidly! Now, even the Patriarch of the clan must show me respect!"

Turning the conversation, the fourth uncle continued:

"Third Brother, I came for two reasons."

"The first is that I plan to bring you and sister-in-law back to live with the clan!"

"The second matter..."

The fourth uncle glanced at Wang Lin, smiling slightly, "The Ziwei Chen Family is now recruiting widely. I happen to have three recommendation slots, one for my own son, another for the clan head's son, and the last one, I'd like Wang Lin to try..."
