Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

"This..."

Chen Daoshan wanted to say more.

"Xiaoshan, you really talk too much!"

The Netherworld Elders had already escorted him out of the great hall.

In the vast hall, only Chen Zhixing, Ji Bu, the elder resembling a golden lion, and the Little One who had just woken from unconsciousness, his round eyes curiously observing his surroundings, remained.

"I am Ji Bu, saved by the couple Shi Xiaoling from the Shi Family three hundred years ago, and I serve as Shi Xiaoling's house servant."

"This is the Fifth Master of the Shi Family."

The sallow-skinned middle-aged man carrying the Little One, Ji Bu, cupped his hands towards Chen Zhixing with a smile.

"Oh? The Shi Family? Is it the Shi Family known as the number one Noble Family in the Northern Land?"

Chen Zhixing's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

While the Sikong family was the strongest Longevity Family in the Southern Six States of the East Profound Domain, the Northern Shi Family was the greatest power in the Northern Six States!

Especially after the Shi Family allied with the Yuu Clan and became a generational ally of the Profound Celestial Sacred Lands, its position in the North became even more pivotal!

"So it is the Fifth Master of the Shi Family, my long-held admiration."

Chen Zhixing immediately turned his gaze to the elder, whose aura was rich like a golden lion, and cupped his hands.

The Fifth Master of the Shi Family, Shi Qizhong, once held a great bow and became famous in the Northern Plain for shooting dead several Barbaric Alien Species Kings of the Nirvana Realm; in the Northern Land, he carried a resounding nickname—the Great Demon King!

Chen Zhixing did not expect these two to appear in the Ziwei Chen Family from the distant Northern Land.

He was genuinely a prominent figure famous in the East Profound Domain, unlike those disorderly demons!

"Chen Xiaoyou, you're too kind. Before, there were many rumors in the world that Chen Zhixing of the Ziwei Chen Family is a man of heavenly talent, dominating the ages. I thought the rumors might be exaggerated, but seeing him today... he indeed lives up to his reputation."

Shi Qizhong also cupped his hands and replied courteously with a smile.

Between the strong, there's always a simple sense of feeling one another out.

He could clearly sense that the young man before him, not yet even two cycles old, was like a vast abyss, making it impossible to perceive his depth, giving a vague sense of unease.

Among those in the First Nirvana Realm who could give him such a feeling, there were fewer than ten across the entire East Profound Domain.

"For what purpose have the two of you traveled far to come here?"

Chen Zhixing looked at the two with some confusion.

"This..."

Shi Qizhong and Ji Bu exchanged a glance.

"Patriarch Chen, please take a look."

Ji Bu chuckled bitterly and gently set the Little One he was carrying in front of Chen Zhixing.

"Oh?"

Chen Zhixing looked closely.

The next moment.

Chen Zhixing's eyes suddenly filled with tumultuous waves!

[Emperor Purple Fate: Innate Longevity Bone!]

[Emperor Purple Fate: Born for cultivation, come to meet tribulations!]

[Emperor Purple Fate: Dominator of all ages!]

[Emperor Purple Fate: Myth of the present age!]

[Emperor Purple Fate: Seed of self, the sole being of the grand era!]

[Emperor Purple Fate: Above Longevity!]

[Emperor Purple Fate: Bearing the demeanor of the Heavenly Emperor!]

[Emperor Purple Fate: ???]

[Emperor Purple Fate: ???]

[...]

A series of purple lights dazzled Chen Zhixing's eyes.

Even with his mind tempered to be as calm as still water, a flash of incredible astonishment crossed his eyes.

The level and number of Fates appearing in the Life Book for this Little One held by Ji Bu...

Were unprecedented and unheard of!!

Even the current Chen Zhixing, holding ten Emperor Purple Fates, could not compare just in terms of Fates!

For the first time, he even saw a distortion in the Life Book, symbols of "???" that simply couldn't be displayed!

This indicated that the life level of this Little One had reached a degree the Life Book was not qualified to glimpse!

How terrifying was that?

"Patriarch Chen, what's wrong?"

Ji Bu looked at Chen Zhixing with puzzlement.

"Nothing."

Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, quickly suppressing the astonishment in his eyes and regaining calmness.

At this moment.

Chen Zhixing was utterly certain.

This Little One before him might just be one of the three Celestial Chosen Protagonists he was seeking!

And among the three Celestial Chosen Protagonists, the one he always believed in his heart to be truly invincible!

He hadn't expected.

The Celestial Chosen Protagonist he had been desperately seeking would unwittingly appear before him!

"Was he... was his Longevity Bone taken by someone?"

Chen Zhixing reached out and gently placed his hand on the Little One's heart, a trickle of Nirvana Power flowing through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians of the Little One, instantly understanding everything.

"Indeed!"

Ji Bu's eyes flashed with a hint of lament: "The Little One is a legendary innate longevity physique, containing a Longevity Bone within his body. Who knew that the wicked woman of the Yuu Clan would, for her own child, actually..."

Soon.

The story of 'Little One' was narrated by Ji Bu.

The Little One was named Shi Huang, from the Longevity Noble Family, the Shi Family, in the Northern Land.

However, Shi Huang was not the main branch offspring, as he had an elder cousin named Shi Li!

Shi Li was born divine, not only with nine patterns at birth but also with Ancient Pattern Holy Eyes, making him a born Divine Being!

In that Shi Family, Shi Li's birth caused a shocking stir, triggering numerous earth-shattering phenomena, and as a result, he was cherished from birth, designated as the future master of the Shi Family, and taken in as the Saint Heir by the Profound Celestial Sacred Lands!

His mother, Lady Yuu, hailed from another Longevity Shi Family in Northern Land, the Yuu Family, and had an extraordinary background as well.

It could be said this Shi Li gathered the love of heaven and earth, and if only comparing backgrounds, even Chen Zhixing was far inferior!

As for Shi Huang, apart from exerting considerable strength at birth, there wasn't much exceptional about him, so not many people paid attention.

As the two gradually grew up.

Until one day, Shi Li used his Ancient Pattern Holy Eyes to see that within his younger brother Little One, Shi Huang, there was a Longevity Bone!

After several hesitations, Shi Li informed his mother Yuu of his discovery.

Henceforth, a great calamity struck!

Seizing the opportunity when Shi Huang's parents were away, leaving the Little One in the care of Lady Yuu.

Lady Yuu finally waited for her chance, coaxed the Little One out to a secret underground palace, and then used a Forbidden Skill to vivisect the Little One, taking the Longevity Bone and implanting it into her son Shi Li!

Poor Little One, Shi Huang, even after having the Longevity Bone extracted, continued to call out in pain under the agony of bone extraction, saying 'Aunt, it hurts.'

Innocent and pure-hearted at such a young age, he still didn't suspect his aunt would commit such a malicious act against him.

Fortunately, Shi Qizhong and Ji Bu quickly reacted, sensing something amiss, stormed into the underground palace, and rescued the Little One!

Finally, under the relentless pursuit by Yuu and the Profound Celestial Sacred Lands.

Shi Qizhong and Ji Bu carried the barely surviving Little One, fleeing all the way, eventually arriving in Yanzhou.

Originally intending to seek refuge in the Shi Family Territory, upon learning that the Ziwei Chen Family was accepting people, they feared Lady Yuu had set an ambush at the ancestral land, and thus brought the Little One to the Ziwei Chen Family!

"My grandson was born with the appearance of an innate longevity! Even that thief Shi Li, in terms of future achievements, is no match for my grandson! It is maddening that the wicked woman dared to harm the Little One so!"

"Truly a vicious heart and ruthless method!!"

Shi Qizhong couldn't help but howl to the sky, roaring with grieved rage.

His own grandson being desecrated, rendered in such a tragic state, painfully tore at his heart, filling him with endless regret.
