Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family-Chapter 39: What Is the True Self Realm?

Under the gaze of all.

Chen Zhaosheng walked forward step by step, beside him, Lu Ying held her head high, her chin slightly raised, like a proud king inspecting her own territory.

At this moment, in the central square of the mountain gate, dozens of Chen Family’s collateral disciples didn’t dare to breathe heavily, their expressions intensely respectful.

If their previous respect for Chen Zhixing was merely due to family traditions.

Then their respect for Chen Zhaosheng was from the heart, born from the awe of Chen Zhaosheng’s strength.

Among the crowd.

Only Chen Chou’er, wearing two knives at his waist and an iron mask, slowly clenched his fists.

All of this should have included him!

"Fourth Uncle."

Chen Zhaosheng greeted Chen Tianchen lightly.

"Hmm, Zhaosheng’s elegance surpasses the past." Chen Tianchen smiled and nodded.

Immediately.

Chen Tianchen glanced across everyone’s face, and said, "Since everyone is here, let’s set off."

As the words fell.

Chen Tianchen flipped his right hand, and a small black ship immediately appeared in his palm.

"Go."

Chen Tianchen silently chanted a spell, tossing the small ship into the air.

In an instant, the ship grew with the wind, transforming into a giant wheel flying ship a hundred yards long!

The entire ship was pitch black, with mysterious and exquisite array patterns carved on the hull, pressing down in the void and emanating majestic authority!

On the deck, a large black flag unfurled in the wind, with a large golden ’Chen’ character inscribed on it!

"Let’s go."

Chen Tianchen stepped up, first flying onto the ship.

Subsequently, the disciples of the Chen Family and clan elders all employed their magical abilities to enter the flying ship.

Once all the Chen Family disciples had boarded the ship.

Rumbling~~~!

The giant wheel emitted a sound like thunder.

The next moment.

Boom——!!!

A long tail flame shot out from the rear of the giant wheel, propelling the entire ship skyward, breaking through layers of clouds.

In just an instant.

The giant flying ship had turned into a small black dot on the horizon, gradually disappearing at the far edge of the sky.

...

...

Above the sea of clouds.

The giant wheel swept through the void at an incredibly fast yet stable speed.

Many Chen Family disciples gathered together, chattering about the scenes over the sea of clouds, their young faces full of excitement.

Some paired up, whispering about this Southern Border trial.

Others quietly found a deserted place to meditate, preparing for the upcoming trial.

Chen Zhixing sat alone at the back of the deck, with the array on the flying ship transforming gusts of Nine Heavens Gang Wind into gentle breezes, softly lifting his clothes and hair.

In his hand, he held a scroll detailing the True Self Realm.

He was lowering his head, carefully reading it.

A moment later.

"True Self Realm..."

Chen Zhixing put down the book, pondering these three words repeatedly.

The True Self Realm emphasizes seeing one’s true self, the unification of Yin Spirit and the physical body, and the condensation of Tao seeds.

He couldn’t help but contemplate.

If he steps into the True Self Realm, what Great Tao seed should he condense?

"Currently, to me, both the Power Tao and Divine Thought Tao can be condensed into Great Tao seeds."

"The Great Tao seed of Power can be transformed into the Heaven-Earth Manifestation of Ox Demon Shattering Heaven."

"The Great Tao seed of Divine Thought can manifest the Heaven-Earth Manifestation of Hanging Hundred Weapons."

Chen Zhixing silently voiced his thoughts, starting to preliminarily envision the Heaven-Earth Manifestation after the Great Tao seed.

Great Tao seed.

Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map.

These are the two most critical aspects of the True Self Realm, determining one’s strength in the True Self Realm and establishing the direction of the future Great Tao!

Among them, Heaven-Earth Manifestation distinguishes the cultivators in the True Self Realm from those in previous realms with its greatest divine technique.

The structure of the Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map depends on one’s imagination to outline it.

For instance, in today’s cultivation realm, there’s a cultivator of the Flame Tao whose outlined Heaven-Earth Manifestation is a nine-legged golden crow capable of scorching the heavens.

Upon displaying the nine-legged golden crow’s Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map, he once evaporated Yunmeng Marsh instantly, turning it into a thousand-mile drought!

Another example from the cultivation realm is a Thunder Tao cultivator claiming invincibility in the True Self Realm, whose Heaven-Earth Manifestation is an apocalyptic thunder tribulation!

Once this Dharma Aspect is unleashed, it can forcibly subject enemy cultivators to an apocalyptic thunder tribulation!

Under his thunder tribulation Dharma Aspect, countless cultivators met their demise.

Others outlined a mountain top giant with the power to grasp a hundred mountains, or envisioned a blue dragon whose body was as if a mountain, with horns reaching the heavens.

Some even ridiculously outlined ten peerless beauties as their Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map, able to mesmerize opponents into a charming illusion realm with no escape.

In summary.

The construction of the Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map is varied and bizarre.

Closer examples.

Take Chen Zhixing’s father, Chen Tianliang, who outlined a Heaven-Earth Manifestation that was a sea of corpses and blood, which too garnered great renown in the cultivation realm, with many calling it the Infinite Blood Realm.

Of course.

It’s not simply about how imaginative one’s Heaven-Earth Manifestation is, deciding its strength.

Otherwise, one could directly outline the Three Pristine Saints or Pangu opening the heavens, wouldn’t that make one instantly invincible?

The power source of the Heaven-Earth Manifestation comes from the condensed Great Tao seed.

The grade of the Great Tao seed is determined by one’s understanding of the Great Tao.

For instance.

Even within the Sword Dao, the condensed Great Tao seeds can vastly differ in grade!

The depth of understanding and insight into the Sword Dao determines the difference in grade!

And the power of the Heaven-Earth Manifestation is determined by the grade of the Great Tao seed!

In addition, the functionalities of Heaven-Earth Manifestation are enhanced by the divine techniques and spells cultivated.

Simply put.

The Great Tao seed determines the strength of the Heaven-Earth Manifestation.

Divine techniques determine the functions of the Heaven-Earth Manifestation.

For instance, the Flame Tao cultivator condensing the nine-legged golden crow not only has profound insights into the Flame Tao but also has cultivated divine techniques related to the golden crow.

Otherwise, another Flame Tao cultivator might just condense a couple of large fireballs.

"No wonder people always say the True Self Realm is so enigmatic."

Chen Zhixing slightly sighed.

The complexity and vast extent of the True Self Realm far exceed any previous realm!

The Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map is a grand fusion of one’s cultivated techniques, realized Great Tao, and learned divine techniques!

"In the cultivation realm, it’s often said that breaking through to the True Self Realm cannot be aided by anyone, yet once past, it is completely distinct from any previous realm."

"The True Self Realm is a watershed on the cultivation path and the realm with the greatest disparity in strength among beings of the same level."

"These statements truly aren’t baseless."

Shaking his head, Chen Zhixing looked toward the distant sea of clouds, the muddiness in his thoughts, due to the extensive information intake, gradually became clearer.

"Power Tao and Divine Thought Tao, I dare say, my understanding is deep enough to condense them into Great Tao seeds."

"But...if during this Southern Border trial, I fail to obtain the ’Nine Gods Technique’, then which Tao should I choose to condense the Great Tao seed and outline the Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map?"

Chen Zhixing’s brows slightly furrowed.

Southern Border has a hundred thousand mountains, vast in territory.

He only knew that Taoist Jiu Feng’s tomb was located in a black forest in the middle of these mountains.

But exactly where, he could not precisely determine.

Hence, whether he could obtain the ’Nine Gods Technique’ this time, he wasn’t very confident.

It all depends on fate and luck!

"I hope that my fortune value, now increased to 37%, brings me some luck to obtain this technique."

Chen Zhixing slightly sighed.
