Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Because before this Sky God fell, he had ventured out sixteen times and successfully explored eleven worlds for the Cosmic Realm, six of which are now the source of daily resource consumption for the Cosmic Realm.

The Cosmic Realm relies on extracting the essence from these six worlds to barely survive up to now.

"Giant Rock Realm, Ghost-faced Realm, Sand Worm Realm, Silver Moon Realm, Thousand Demon Realm, Square Realm... What are these bizarre names?"

According to the records of that Sky God, these six worlds are defined as Fifth Tier worlds, while during its peak, the Cosmic Realm was only a Third Tier world, and now it has declined to the brink of the Fourth Tier, with the danger of dropping into the Third Tier at any time.

According to his description, the Celestial Profound Realm is instead a relatively strong Third Tier world.

The goal Chen Zhixing pursues, the ancestral land of the Stone Race, is concretely a Second Tier world, still retaining the capability to become a source world.

As for a First Tier world. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The Sky God didn’t write about it, but he did have his speculations on First Tier worlds, defining them as worlds where gods and Buddhas appear, sources spread teachings, energy is nearly limitless, and that can use certain things to position themselves in the terrifying Star Sea.

The ’source’ spoken of by the Sky God is self-interpreted by Chen Zhixing as immortals.

Therefore, the epiphany he reached was.

"The cultivation world recorded in the Star Sea Chronicle, is it a First Tier world as defined by the Sky God, meaning there should have been a star map of a First Tier world recorded within the Celestial Saint Palace."

The star map is very important!

Its importance is not inferior to an Immortal Ship capable of traveling farthest in the Star Sea!

"This is just absurd, if this is true, if I leave the Cosmic Realm, I can only use these worlds recorded by the Sky God as stepping stones. Once I get out of the exploration zone of the Sky God, even with an Immortal Ship, I might not encounter any world for decades, centuries, or even a thousand years."

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing felt a bit toothache coming on.

So, what was Li Er thinking by leaving the Cosmic Realm, did he have a perfect star map in hand?

"The Immortal Ship is something Li Er definitely has, at the very least he could take away the one Bai Yu has in hand to cross the Star Sea, but the star map...."

Chen Zhixing knows that the Celestial Saint Palace in the Celestial Profound Realm definitely has a star map, and it must be recorded very clearly because he was able to unfold the Dharma Image of Emperor Ziwei of the North Dipper, thereby delineating the Star Domain and becoming a Taoist Monarch of the Star Monarch path, relying on the star records provided by the Celestial Saint Palace.

And behind these records is an extremely perfect star map.

"Li Er probably has a copy of this star map too?"

Thinking like this, Chen Zhixing finally couldn’t bear it and took a step into the void.

...

A moment later, the Outer Ring Endless Sea.

The same position as before, the same people.

Li Er was still holding a fishing rod, sitting by the sea fishing.

Seeing Chen Zhixing’s arrival was not surprising to him, he merely asked in a flat voice.

"Why are you here again?"

"Do you have a perfect star map?" Chen Zhixing did not waste words, directly getting to the point.

Upon hearing this, Li Er looked up at him, showing a bit of helplessness.

"I don’t. If I did, why do you think I would still stay in the Cosmic Realm?"

"Without a star map, you still dare to explore the Star Sea?"

"Once Yimiao and I reclaim the divinity of this Cosmic Realm, the Celestial Saint Palace will naturally gift me a copy."

"Is that so... Can I borrow it to make a replica then?"

"Youngster, you are truly thick-skinned, unlike your ancestor at all."

Li Er chuckled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Chen Zhixing nodded: "And then there’s the Immortal Ship, senior do you have it yet?"

"Not yet."

"So, Bai Yu has come to the Cosmic Realm?"

"....."

Li Er glared at him dissatisfiedly upon hearing this, and then snapped irritably: "That Immortal Ship was originally crafted with my assistance, eighty percent of the real material was provided by me. Bai Yu was merely temporarily in charge of managing and nurturing it. It is fundamentally my possession!"

"I never said the Immortal Ship wasn’t yours."

"You were implicitly saying I’m snatching the Longevity Emperor’s Weapon from the younger generation, don’t play ignorant, I caught your drift."

"Well, you did snatch it indeed."

"Hey, you little brat....."

The two argued for a while, eventually concluding without reaching a conclusion.

The Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship indeed belonged to Li Er, one could even say he was its creator. He lent it to a junior in the Sect just because he was in the East Sea at the time and had no use for it.

Li Er’s primary reason for crafting this Immortal Ship was preparation for his own journey.

"By the way, senior, there is something I have yet to understand, since you want to journey, why not step into the Star Sea directly through the teleportation array on the Northern Continent, if I remember correctly, that teleportation array should be a node on a complete star route, right?"

"That teleportation array leads to a dead end."

"Huh?"

"The star route on the Northern Continent has already been severed. It was during the reign of the Immortal Divine Court that the star route leading to the outside was broken."

"Then why did the Divine Court do this?"

"Who told you it was the Divine Court’s doing."

"Wasn’t it?"

"It was done by the Demon Race on the Northern Continent, they were being hunted and purged by the Divine Court and had no choice but to retreat to the Northern Continent, eventually using that teleportation array to escape. After being chased through two worlds by the Divine Court, they made up their mind to destroy the teleportation array on the other side, completely severing this star route."

Chen Zhixing: "..."

The Immortal Imperial Court really did all good deeds, it doesn’t feel unjust that it was wiped out!

Seeing Chen Zhixing’s speechless expression, Li Er chuckled softly: "Otherwise, why did Yimiao not run away back then, and why was I trapped in the East Sea for a thousand years, waiting until this descent to escape? Had that star route been open, we would have bolted long ago, unlikely to wait for your arrival!"

"..... So, the star route cannot be repaired?"

"Isn’t it obvious? It’s been cut from the other side, we don’t even have the coordinates here, how would you fix it."

"Whew." Chen Zhixing let out a breath of regret, helplessly asking: "Then what about the Celestial Saint Palace, you plan to leave, haven’t you thought of targeting the first Longevity Emperor’s Weapon of the Human Race on this matter?"

"What do you take the Celestial Saint Palace for?" Chen Zhixing’s words made Li Er laugh: "The Celestial Saint Palace could be said to be the foundation of the Human Race. Even the Longevity Emperor Venerable did not consider doing something to it when they had the chance. Why do you think I would?"

"Why wouldn’t you?"

"What do you take it for?"

Hearing that, Chen Zhixing rolled his eyes and finally understood: the power of the Celestial Saint Palace couldn’t be separated from the Human Race it protected. It could only exert its greatest power when the civilization was thriving.

That thing is a Clan Artifact, a concretized will of the Human Race! Its strength comes from the support of a large number of humans. Unless you plan to carry the entire Celestial Profound Human Race away, it won’t be any stronger than the topmost Longevity Emperor’s Weapons...
