NOVEL NEXT Chapter 345: Obtaining the Longevity Bone!
"We thank Patriarch Chen for saving our lives! We will never forget such a great kindness as long as we live!"
Instantly, Ji Bu and Fifth Master Shi Qizhong bowed deeply towards Chen Zhixing.
They understood.
With Chen Zhixing's words, everything was now secured!
"Hmm, leave everything to me for now. You should rest," Chen Zhixing said with a smile.
Ji Bu and Shi Qizhong exchanged a glance, pondered briefly, and nodded:
"Then we'll trouble Patriarch Chen."
Afterward, Chen Zhixing called for an elder of the clan to take Ji Bu and Shi Qizhong to rest.
The two had fought and fled all the way from the Northern Land, protecting the Little One against the pursuit of the three families: the Profound Celestial Sacred Lands, Shi Family, and Yuu Clan. Arriving at the Southern Lands' Yanzhou, they were already thoroughly wounded and exhausted, purely holding on with willpower.
Now that the Little One was worry-free, the breath they held finally released completely.
They did not fear Chen Zhixing harboring ill intentions towards the Little One because the moment they stepped into the Ziwei Chen Family, their lives and deaths were no longer in their hands.
If Chen Zhixing wanted to attack them, he would not engage in such circumspection and delays.
The bright moon hung high, and the evening breeze blew gently.
"This time, our gamble paid off."
Ji Bu and Shi Qizhong marveled with a smile.
"This new overlord of the East Profound Domain, Chen Zhixing, is far from the fierce reputation he has." Shi Qizhong laughed aloud.
"I've always said, people exaggerate. One must rely on their sight and feelings to discern the truth."
Ji Bu shook his head, gazing towards the Ziwei Nine Peaks under the night sky.
Though it was late at night, the entire Nine Peaks were silent, yet each peak was brightly lit, showing figures diligently cultivating indoors.
"On this journey, it seems the Ziwei Chen Family is truly extraordinary, with supposedly over a hundred True Self Realm practitioners, heavenly materials and earthly treasures everywhere, not to mention the limitless future of Chen Zhixing... The whole Chen Family prospers with vitality!
Many boats compete, all beings strive freely under the frost sky!"
Shi Qizhong's eyes flashed with admiration.
Over a hundred True Self Realm practitioners, what does that mean?
Neither the Yuu Family, Shi Family, nor the Profound Celestial Sacred Lands, alone have such a scale of True Self Realm practitioners!
And the True Self Realm holds a pivotal position within a family!
This realm connects the past and future, symbolizing not only a family's core strength but also its future!
"In hundreds of years, the Ziwei Chen Family will undoubtedly dominate the East Profound Domain. Even if the domain unites, it will be no match for them!"
Shi Qizhong spoke with conviction in his eyes.
"Yes, the Little One staying here and being taught by someone as extraordinary as Chen Zhixing might indeed have a chance to duel Shi Li again..."
Ji Bu nodded in agreement, then turned to ask, "Fifth Master, what are your plans next?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Qizhong showed a thoughtful expression and replied, "North of the Northern Land is the North Sea, a resting place for ancient gods and demons, rumored to hold incredible artifacts and even treasures that can restore the Longevity Bone... I'm planning to visit the North Sea to see if I can find something to restore the Little One's bone."
"What about you? What's your plan?"
After hearing this, Ji Bu responded, "Fifth Master, I plan to depart for the Southern Border tomorrow, to inform the masters and let them know everything; otherwise, I'm afraid they might not be aware of the changes in the family and fall victim to the scheming woman!"
Hearing this, Shi Qizhong pondered briefly, then nodded, "Alright, with Patriarch Chen looking after the Little One here, he should be safe."
The two left swiftly.
And in the Patriarch's Hall.
Chen Zhixing looked at the sleeping Little One in his arms, not disturbing him, but instead lightly placed his hand on the child's chest.
A wisp of the purest Power of Life flowed into the Little One's body through Chen Zhixing's palm.
"Yiya..."
The Little One snuggled comfortably in Chen Zhixing's arms, and his originally pale face quickly turned rosy, with a blush rising on his cheeks.
Seeing this, Chen Zhixing nodded slightly and stopped paying attention, instead turning to the prompts that suddenly appeared in his mind, his expression turning quirky.
[Ding! You have accepted the Celestial Chosen Protagonist as your apprentice. You will receive a portion of the other's fortune and talent!]
[Your initial Fortune Value is 2000%, increased by 500%! Total Fortune Value: 2500%!]
[Your title: Myriad Creations!]
[Your Pure Land Dojo Level: lv.2]
[You have obtained: Longevity Bone! (Activate?)]
"Is this even possible?"
Chen Zhixing stroked his chin, his eyes showing a mix of strangeness, delight, and annoyance.
If he had known that accepting the Celestial Chosen Protagonist as an apprentice would grant him their Fortune Value and part of their abilities!
What was he doing fighting and killing these Celestial Chosen Protagonists?
Bah!
"Furthermore, this time's prompt shows acquisition, not deprivation! That means..."
Chen Zhixing's eyes twinkled.
"I received the Fortune Value without affecting Little One's Fortune Value? This... is actually a good scenario."
"Moreover... Tsk tsk, just taking an apprentice grants 500 Fortune Value! I remember that those few Celestial Chosen Protagonists killed before had only a few hundred Fortune Value each?"
"Worthy of being the one who stands above the past, the strongest Celestial Chosen Protagonist!"
Chen Zhixing internally exclaimed, then looked inside his body.
He saw a brilliant golden light radiating from his chest, faintly visible through the glow, its bone shape evident!
It was a piece of golden bone, engraved with countless Great Tao Runes and imprints of rules!
However, this Longevity Bone was still in an unactivated state; once activated, he could gain all abilities of the Longevity Bone!
"This Longevity Bone isn't urgent,"
Chen Zhixing pondered. With so many affairs ongoing these days, there remains the presence of a suspected Celestial Chosen Protagonist outside.
In case activating this Longevity Bone takes an extremely long time to absorb, missing out on the suspected Celestial Chosen Protagonist, it would be unfortunate.
"Yes, if I'm correct, the Little One's original storyline had him going to the Shi Family Ancestral Lands, gaining opportunities, and rising to power. But now, due to my intervention, his storyline has been utterly disrupted, missing his destiny's gifts."
"Looks like after some time, I need to take the Little One to the Stone Race Ancestral Lands to claim his rightful opportunities!"
Chen Zhixing silently contemplated these, as the dawn gradually broke.
A rising sun gently ascended from the sky, dispersing the night and bringing light to the earth.
"Yiya yiya~~ Master~~!"
The Little One slowly awakened in Chen Zhixing's arms, rubbing his sleepy eyes, looking at the white-haired, exceptionally handsome yet indifferent figure.
"Awake?" Chen Zhixing glanced down at him.
"Yiya yiya~~ Master, I... I seem to be better!"
The Little One slightly moved his limbs, immediately noticing something, his eyes showing surprise.
He felt that his current state was exceptionally good!
Other than lacking the Longevity Bone, he was just the same as before, even his limbs were filled with power!
"Yiya yiya, thank you, Master!"
The Little One escaped Chen Zhixing's embrace, jumping around with a playful smile towards him.
