Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 7: I Give You Time to Catch Up, Until You Can't See Me Anymore

At this moment, everyone’s gaze toward Chen Zhixing changed.

A person with nine ancient runes!

In today’s entire Cangxuan Realm, such individuals are incredibly rare!

“Regarding the matter of Zhixing, I trust I need not repeat myself a second time?” Chen Daoyan spoke in a deep voice.

Chen Tianliang nodded and then glanced sideways at Chen Tianxiong.

“Why are you looking at me? What good would it do me if news of Zhixing being a nine-rune person were to get out?” Chen Tianxiong shot an irritated look at Chen Tianliang.

“Alright, let today’s events end here. I will inform the ancestor about Zhixing being a nine-rune person and come up with an excuse to cover up the commotion we’ve caused today.”

“Tianliang, take this token. From now on, for any treasures needed for Zhixing's cultivation, take this token to the treasure vault. Zhixing and Shaosheng will enjoy the same treatment.”

Chen Daoyan extended his hand, a loving smile on his face, and gently touched Chen Zhixing's head before saying:

“Child, grow up well. Grandpa will come to see you later.”

With that, Chen Daoyan turned and swiftly headed toward the forbidden grounds of the Chen family’s rear mountain.

“Elder Brother, I’ll not keep you any longer.”

Chen Tianliang smiled warmly at Chen Tianxiong and made a gesture to usher him out.

Seeing Chen Tianliang’s triumphant expression, Chen Tianxiong felt like punching him.

“Third Brother, having a talented child only means a high starting point. How far and how fast he can go is not determined by talent alone.”

Chen Tianxiong took a deep breath, his expression becoming calm.

After speaking, he turned to leave with the three-year-old Chen Shaosheng.

Before leaving, Chen Shaosheng cast a silent, deep glance at the baby Chen Zhixing in the cradle.

He had an inexplicable premonition.

In the future, he would have an unclear and complex bond with this baby in the cradle.

After they left.

The great hall became quiet.

Chen Tianliang, who had previously managed to stay calm, was now brimming with excitement. He turned around, beaming with joy, and looked at Chen Zhixing in the cradle.

“Ah!”

“My good son! My precious big boy!”

“You’ve really brought great honor to your father this time! Hahaha!”

He picked up Chen Zhixing and puckered his lips, preparing to shower him with kisses.

“Father hasn’t loved you in vain! Hahaha!”

Chen Zhixing, seeing this, shuddered and quickly leaned back, raising his little foot to block Chen Tianliang’s stubbly face.

“Dear, the child is still small. Don’t scare him,” Ying Shuangshuang said, helplessly pushing Chen Tianliang away.

“Alright, alright, I won’t kiss him. Tonight, I’ll reward you with ten stories of the golden axe, silver axe, and iron axe. You’ll be sure to sleep well.” Chen Tianliang said with a smile.

Chen Zhixing’s face darkened.

From birth until now, he had already heard that story ninety-eight times!

Not counting the times he heard it in the womb.

“Very well, very well.”

He quietly noted in his mental diary.

【When he gets older, he’ll need to experience the feeling of hearing the golden axe, silver axe, and iron axe stories every night.】

【And, I must ensure he listens until he’s fed up.】

Soon after.

Chen Zhixing yawned, curled up, and prepared to sleep.

He was quite satisfied with today’s results.

He could have revealed ten ancient runes today, but when he was still in his mother’s womb, he had already achieved the Innate Primodial Dao Body, with all his meridians and acupoints fully cleared.

But what’s the use of that?

Such a revelation would only bring endless trouble to himself and the entire Chen family.

Some things need to be kept in moderation until one has the strength to protect oneself.

Meanwhile, on a mountain path away from the Chen Tianliang family.

“Hmph, that Chen Tianliang doesn’t know what kind of luck he’s had to have a child with nine ancient runes.”

Chen Tianxiong walked with his hands behind his back, a scowl on his face.

He glanced down at the three-year-old Chen Shaosheng beside him, feeling slightly better.

Fortunately, his own son was also a nine-rune person, with the added benefit of a natural royal diagram.

“Father, why do you and Third Uncle have such a grudge against each other, always targeting him?” Chen Shaosheng asked curiously.

His father wasn’t a petty person but rather had a commanding presence in the cultivation world.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have secured the top position among the second-generation heirs of the Chen family.

But he couldn’t understand why his father seemed like a different person whenever he saw Third Uncle.

All his scheming and the demeanor of a grand ruler disappeared completely.

“This…”

Chen Tianxiong opened his mouth but finally said, “Never mind, you’re still young. Some things you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. I’ll explain when you’re older.”

He paused and then smiled slightly, saying:

“Shaosheng, don’t think too much about it. In your father’s heart, you are still the one with the highest talent. Your future achievements are bound to be limitless and cannot be compared to Chen Zhixing.”

“Whether or not you can be compared is not something you can decide,” Chen Shaosheng suddenly spoke.

“Hmm?” Chen Tianxiong was taken aback, then seemed to realize something and quickly asked with concern: “Shaosheng, don’t be discouraged. Even if Chen Zhixing has nine runes, he’s only matching you. But you have the added benefit of the natural royal diagram. What can he compare with you?”

Before he could finish.

Chen Shaosheng shook his head and calmly said, “Father, you misunderstand. I just think, if someone rides ahead without seeing a single opponent in their rearview mirror, how boring that must be?”

He smiled.

“If there’s always a rival striving to catch up, doesn’t that make things much more interesting?”

Chen Shaosheng stopped and looked back at the Chen Tianliang residence on the mountain peak, his expression calm and resolute as he said:

“Father, aren’t you trying to suppress Third Uncle’s family?”

“I’ll help you achieve that.”

He withdrew his gaze, keeping a thought to himself.

“Brother, I give you time to catch up, until you can’t see me anymore.”

“I will not lose.”

Chen Tianxiong’s pupils constricted slightly.

He looked at Chen Shaosheng with a mix of words left unspoken.

His child had matured in a way that was somewhat frightening.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

During these two months, Chen Zhixing grew rapidly under the constant nourishment of various rare herbs and elixirs, changing almost daily.

Now.

At three months old, Chen Zhixing had already grown to over half a meter in length, looking robust and exceptionally adorable.

However, the improvement in his cultivation was even more concerning to Chen Zhixing.

“The method of creation is just one step away.”

“I need to review a lot of cultivation techniques to find a suitable method to serve as the main framework for my creation method.”

“Once the method is successfully created, I can start my cultivation.”

“Moreover, my spiritual power is being wasted just being projected outward. It would be great if I could find a method to use it as an attack.”

“This type of method is extremely rare, but as the Chen family is a long-lived family, the treasure vault should have some.”

Chen Zhixing lay in a rocking chair, his brows furrowed in thought.

“But it’s troublesome if I can’t communicate. Clearly, there are things I can’t access.”

“I must find an appropriate opportunity to speak.”

Just as Chen Zhixing was deep in thought.

Creak.

The door opened.

Chen Tianliang walked in with a beaming smile and called from a distance:

“My good son!”

“Have you learned to call me ‘Daddy’ today?”
