Chen Zhixing didn't finish his sentence.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhixing, who was just listening, flashed in front of him and grabbed him immediately.

"Are you sure?"

At this moment, the Ancestor Tianyuan, who had been buried for hundreds of years in the Chen Family's back mountain, showed a fierce excitement that was terrifying.

...

Three days later.

Northern Domain, Extreme North North Ocean!

Chen Zhixing, who arrived here with his family's ancestor, looked at the familiar sea below, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

"Ancestor, do we really have to do this?"

"This time, you and I, grandfather and grandson, have come only to confirm the situation. If we really move, it won't just be you and me."

Chen Tianyuan whispered, his eyes flashing multicolored brilliance as if he could see through the thousand-fathom deep sea below.

"If it were usual, we certainly should not come knocking and pluck the whiskers of a Longevity Demon Beast, especially a Heaven and Earth Divine Beast dwelling in the deep sea, but...

the opportunity is rare!"

Chen Tianyuan's words grew increasingly excited, and his gaze seemed to be fixed on the huge turtle shell beneath the sea.

It was not known how much time passed before he suddenly spoke:

"That old turtle is not inside; are you certain it's sealed?"

Chen Zhixing nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Where is it sealed?"

"It should be under an iceberg in a deep sea trench thirty thousand miles further north."

"I see."

Chen Tianyuan nodded slightly, choosing to believe rather than inquire why Chen Zhixing could see it.

He knew the nature of this child, especially as he grew up, proud to the point of not bothering to lie, let alone deceive him on such matters concerning the family's survival.

"Take me to the place where the Dragon Turtle is imprisoned for a look."

"Hmm?" Chen Zhixing looked up at his family's ancestor, puzzled.

Chen Tianyuan's eyes flashed sharply: "Since we want to act, we must eliminate the root completely. Otherwise, once you and I ransack this Dragon Palace, and the Dragon Turtle escapes one day to find trouble at Ziwei Mountain, how would you and I deal with it?"

"Ancestor...."

Chen Zhixing was startled, slaughtering the Dragon Turtle; originally, Chen Zhixing only planned to plunder the Dragon Turtle but did not intend to completely turn against it. Whether it would go to the Southern Domain to trouble the Chen Family... that old turtle had just gotten into trouble with the Celestial Saint Palace, unlikely to risk coming to the Southern Domain Celestial Saint Palace's territory because it lost some things at home.

As for reestablishing its relationship with the Celestial Saint Palace one day and turning to Purple Gold Mountain afterwards,

if that day came, Chen Zhixing thought he should have already proven the Dao of Longevity, and by then, it wouldn't be the Dragon Turtle finding trouble with him, but him blocking the Dragon Palace's gate.

But seeing his family's ancestor's intention, he indeed planned to slay the Longevity Dragon Turtle directly!

Chen Zhixing thought it too risky; the Dragon Turtle was merely trapped by its shell, not without ability to resist.

Seeing Chen Zhixing remain silent, Chen Tianyuan spoke solemnly:

"This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. If that Dragon Turtle truly dies, what's left is enough to save you a hundred years of time."

"What do you mean?"

"Longevity Resources, the body left behind by a deceased Longevity True Monarch, is the most supreme resource on the path to the peak!"

"Hmm... hmm?"

Chen Zhixing's eyes widened upon hearing this, "To become a Longevity True Monarch means eating people?"

"Hah, if eating people could prove the Dao of Longevity, do you think today only the Three Great Sacred Lands would have True Monarchs?"

"Then...."

"Eating people isn't the way, but eating a Longevity True Monarch is!"

Chen Zhixing: "!!!"

He and his little partner, Cyan Pheasant, were both stunned!

Chen Zhixing thought this path of cultivation was too unreliable, being cultivated to the Longevity Master Realm only to be eaten!

Cyan Pheasant thought about how its previous owner made an agreement with the Daluo Taoist Lands before his death, and indeed, his body was taken by the Daluo Taoist Lands afterwards.

Seeing this, Chen Tianxing waved his sleeve and said helplessly, "It's not really eating people. It's just needing some substances inside the Longevity Master's body. We just have to take those substances... of course, if really eaten, the effect would be even better."

"..."

"Why do you look at me like that, Longevity substances are scarce, and besides, you and I are facing a Dragon Turtle. What, did you not drink enough Profound Turtle Soup when you were little?"

"No."

Chen Zhixing shook his head, dispelling random thoughts from his mind: "Ancestor makes sense. However, if we really want to deal with the Dragon Turtle, we need to make more preparations."

"Naturally, take me to see where the Dragon Turtle is sealed first."

...

Longevity substances, or rather, Golden Nature.

This is one of the keys to reaching the Longevity Realm after reaching the peak, and the biggest threshold on the path to Longevity!

Gold Element is immortal, thus one can achieve Longevity.

Of course, Longevity is just a figure of speech; how long a Longevity Master can live depends on the amount of Gold Element and his inherent lifespan.

But according to current knowledge, a True Self can live for a thousand years, Nirvana for three thousand, and the Longevity Master, at the minimum, has lived over five thousand years, with the world's oldest being the Taoist Monarch named Longevity from the Daluo Taoist Lands, who is already nine thousand six hundred years old!

Living over ten thousand years is not a dream!

According to Ancestor Tianyuan, the actual lifespan of a Longevity True Monarch does not exceed that of the Nirvana Realm by much. If the Gold Element accumulated when proving the Dao of True Monarch was insufficient, and no more Gold Element was cultivated thereafter, the Longevity True Monarch's lifespan would only be five thousand years.

Just like the Sword Immortal and the Chen Family Ancestor, they had only over five thousand years of lifespan before departing this world.

In fact, Chen Zhixing had some doubts about this.

After all, his ancestors were also Longevity True Monarchs, and there are many noble families in the world who have produced True Monarchs. If Gold Element alone could prove the Dao of Longevity, then why haven't these families produced new True Monarchs in all these years?

When he posed the question, Ancestor Tianyuan sighed deeply.

"After your Initial Race ancestor died, his body was also given to the Celestial Saint Palace. This was an agreement he set with the Celestial Saint Palace during his lifetime. This is the reason for nearly a thousand years the Celestial Saint Palace has sheltered our Chen Family, keeping our family from falling from the status of a noble family."

"What about other noble families..."

"They naturally have similar agreements with the Three Great Sacred Lands. Otherwise, why do you think there are rumors that one must rely on the Three Great Sacred Lands to prove the Dao of Longevity? Just because they hold a large amount of Longevity Technique?"

"So that's how it is." Chen Zhixing nodded, understanding a bit more.

"Of course, you are different." At this point in the conversation, Chen Tianyuan's gaze toward Chen Zhixing grew more amiable: "With your talent, even without the support of the Three Great Sacred Lands, you are destined to prove the Dao of Longevity. When the time comes, since you haven't received the aid of the Three Great Sacred Lands, the Gold Element you leave behind after death can be passed down in the family, unlike your Initial Race ancestor who had no choice but to comply when the Three Great Sacred Lands came knocking!"

When saying this, Chen Tianyuan's aged face showed a hint of dejection.

He remembered when his father was dying, a group from the Celestial Saint Palace stood by the bed, and as soon as he passed, they were immediately taken by the Celestial Saint Palace, having not allowed them, his descendants, to even approach... This was a source of great shame, almost becoming his Heart Demon!

The reason why he didn't want Chen Zhixing to become a disciple of the Celestial Saint Palace was primarily because he didn't want him to face the same predicament as Chen Changfeng a thousand years ago, and now Chen Zhixing, who can be so easily manipulated.

"Grandfather, how is the Gold Element cultivated?"

"Uh, you're asking me? Chen Tianyuan looked helplessly: "If I knew, I'd already be a Longevity Master now."

"Uh... then what about the old Initial Race..."

"If the Longevity Master himself doesn't know how the Gold Element is cultivated, could it be that it comes out of nowhere?"

"..."

"..."

"That's just how it is!"
