Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family Chapter 739 - 532: Contending

"My friend, here are seven spiritual worms that you wanted. They should be enough for you."

"Efficiency." Chen Zhixing gave Sos a thumbs-up.

This guy is good at this; whenever you need something, he gets it done for you by the next day, no doubt about his efficiency.

"Hmm, my friend, I don’t have much of this left, so use it sparingly. Also, I hope that when your research results e out, you can share a copy with me." Sos seemed slightly conflicted as he spoke, as if he wanted to say something more to Chen Zhixing, but ultimately didn’t.

"No problem." Chen Zhixing replied with a smile.

After Sos left,

Chen Zhixing sighed.

"Sure enough, he didn’t mention it."

"Master, it’s okay. Staying in this Cosmic realm isn’t so bad. Even if I can’t go back, you can always bring the Master Ancestor and Master Grandma to see me."

Shi Hao, who had been hiding behind the screen, came out to fort him.

Although he didn’t know the meaning behind his master’s words, it definitely had to do with him.

Chen Zhixing glanced at him and then shook his head.

"He has the ability to do it, but he hopes you stay in the Cosmic world because he fears I won’t return once I leave. With you staying here, I, as a master, am bound to visit you."

"Huh?" Shi Hao’s mouth was wide open, and after holding back for a while, he couldn’t help but say, "Master, staying here is staying here, but we’re not going to plead with him!"

"Plead with him?" Chen Zhixing blinked.

"Yeah, we can’t plead with him because it’s not worth it for matter as small as this. I’ll just treat it as a retreat in the Cosmic realm. I don’t believe that after reaching the Longevity Realm, I’ll still be confined by this world’s rules!"

"...So, what are you talking about?" Chen Zhixing chuckled upon hearing that. What he actually meant was that Sos’ intention was to ensure Chen Zhixing’s return after leaving this time.

As for abandoning Shi Hao,

It won’t happen.

Chen Zhixing had enough confidence in his judgment. Even if Sos was more divine than human, he wouldn’t make Chen Zhixing beg for Shi Hao over such a small matter.

Or rather, as long as Chen Zhixing spoke up, Sos would likely help Shi Hao reclaim the Divine Format left by Great Venerable Cyan Wood within him.

But even if it’s reclaimed, what use would it be?

The pollution of humanity is utterly irreversible. Removing it now would waste the burden Shi Hao has endured.

Even if Shi Hao wanted to do that, Chen Zhixing wouldn’t allow it!

So, the interaction between Chen Zhixing and Sos was, in fact, a pact made within extreme time constraints, agreeing for Shi Hao to cultivate in the Cosmic world for a while, to digest the Divine Format of the Great Venerable Cyan Wood, and for Sos to assist Shi Hao in reclaiming it when Chen Zhixing returns next time.

What Chen Zhixing meant by ’he can do it’ wasn’t a plaint about Sos’ reluctance to help, but pure envy of Sos’ diverse Divine Techniques, which were far beyond the reach of cultivators like Chen Zhixing.

It’s said that cultivators are strong and versatile, but that’s because they have various inheritances to learn from and long lifespans to learn much.

By contrast, beings like Sos, who are born with various divine authorities, are truly omnipotent.

What Chen Zhixing needed to learn, Sos already knew by instinct. What Chen Zhixing couldn’t learn, Sos could do naturally, and his lifespan was ridiculously long. In terms of the number and extent of Divine Techniques, cultivators would never match up to gods of the same tier.

Chen Zhixing decided not to argue with Shi Hao any further because he had already made up his mind to let Shi Hao be tempered in the Cosmic world for a while.

He even increased the difficulty for Shi Hao, having Sos expose the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm after his departure, letting his nearly spoiled disciple experience what it’s like to be thrashed by the Legendary Demigods of the Cosmic world.

Chen Zhixing felt it was necessary.

Absolutely necessary!

The reason Shi Hao could sweep across three thousand worlds in his past life was fundamentally due to his willingness to battle against the heavens and earth. The present Shi Hao was pletely different from Chen Zhixing’s memories.

After spending too much time together, bonds formed, and although Chen Zhixing didn’t expect Shi Hao to bee as invincible as in his past life, he didn’t want to spoil this disciple into uselessness either.

He couldn’t bear it.

So,

"In a few days, before I leave, I’ll send you back to Cyan Wood Longevity Realm. With the Array’s protection, I’ll be relieved." Chen Zhixing said matter-of-factly.

Shi Hao: "???"

"Master, what did you say? You’re leaving already?!"

"What else? I’ve almost pleted what needs to be done here, and after the battles here reach this stage, I’ll bid farewell to the Huayu Immortal Venerable and return to Celestial Profound to start the work on crafting an Immortal Ship capable of traversing the Star Sea."

"No... you... I... Master... Argh!"

Unable to say anything despite a string of filler words, Shi Hao, annoyed, squatted on the ground with his back to Chen Zhixing, sulking.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing chuckled, walked over, patted Shi Hao’s head, and asked, "What’s wrong? You’re quite grown up; how are you still throwing a child’s tantrum?"

"..."

"Speak up."

"You were the one who said you’d take me to explore the Cosmic World! But now we’ve barely arrived, and you’re leaving again. I finally found you, and now you’re going back home, leaving me alone in this lousy Cosmic World!"
