My understanding is against the heavens, I create a family of villains with longevity.

“A person’s life is a journey of practice.”

"what?"

"To be able to grow as a human being despite countless accidents is the true meaning of spiritual practice."

"I didn't understand."

"Wang Lin, if one day someone tells you that the purpose of your cultivation is to get rid of your human identity, then does cultivation still have meaning for you?"

"Master."

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road.

Wang Lin looked at the master in front of him who was as graceful as a fairy. He bit his lip, clenched his five fingers into a fist and said, "Master, shouldn't the purpose of our practice be to gain enough power to change the things we don't want to face? As for what we will become, or whether we will still be human, I am stupid and have never thought about these things."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixing looked at him for a while and then smiled.

Reaching out his hand and patting Wang Lin on the shoulder, Chen Zhixing said leisurely:

"You are still young, so it's normal for you not to understand. When you have more experience and see the colorful world outside and the myriad ethnic groups competing with each other for beauty, then perhaps you will have a different understanding."

Wang Lin: "???"

He, still young?

Speaking of age, Wang Lin is not much younger than Chen Zhixing. Adding the years he spent in the little green bottle, he is much older than Chen Zhixing.

But Wang Lin knew that when Chen Zhixing said he was still young, he meant that he had little experience and had not been exposed to much. Perhaps one day, when he, Wang Lin, had seen more, he would also have the same thoughts as his master did now.

But now, at least now, Wang Lin doesn’t feel that he has any sense of belonging to the human race!

If he could gain enough power by changing his ethnic group, Wang Lin didn't think he would have any hesitation.

"Master is right. I have not experienced enough. From now on, I will travel more and observe more of the world to broaden my horizons."

"Well, that's good. As long as you two are prepared, I don't have much to tell you when you travel around the world. If you encounter any difficulties, just look for your second junior brother and let him help you solve them."

"Disciple knows."

"Well, let's go."

As Wang Lin and Chen Moqing passed through the space rift connecting the universal world, Chen Zhixing also withdrew his gaze from Wang Lin.

I feel that the child has really grown up and it is time for him to leave his protection.

Although from beginning to end, he never looked at Chen Moqing for a moment, let alone said a word to him.

Inexplicably, a strange thought suddenly popped up in Chen Zhixing's mind.

'Perhaps in the future my son will also become a freak who hates the heavens, the earth, all living things, and even his own father?'

The thought flashed through his mind, and then Chen Zhixing couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

"To that child, I, as his father, am just a background. He will not lack anything in his life, and naturally he will not have many regrets. He has the company of his brothers, and he will meet someone he likes in the future. How can he have such a messy thought in a life that he has worked hard for? If such a thought really comes up, I will kill him with my own hands."

Are fatherly and motherly love essential for children?

Chen Zhixing doesn’t think so.

What children need is shelter and support. If the first two can be met, it makes no difference to the children whether they are provided by their parents or not.

It is the children's parents who really need this kind of emotional filling.

They need this emotional sustenance to give themselves the motivation to survive in this evil world.

In this respect, humans are very strange creatures.

I would rather work hard all my life without any leisure than give up some vain thoughts.

Click.

A flash of lightning flashed between heaven and earth, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and spring rain fell from the sky.

At this moment, Chen Zhixing also felt something in his heart.

“I am fifty years old now.”

Touching his face which was still as white and tender as that of a boy, Chen Zhixing smiled.

"At thirty, one is independent; at forty, one is free from doubts; at fifty, one knows the destiny. So, what is my destiny?"

The bright gaze penetrated the sky and resonated with the Ziwei Dharma Image that was lingering in the void. Then a large amount of starlight began to fall from the sky, blessing the direction where the Star Palace was.

After a while.

A sound of cheering and joy rang out in the starry sky.

"Congratulations to Xingzun on his birthday!"

"I wish Xingzun a long and healthy life!!!"

"Congratulations to Xing Zun for his arrival. I wish Xing Zun will soon complete his merits and virtues, achieve perfect cultivation, break through the limitations, and become an immortal on a certain day!"

"Happy birthday, Xingzun!!!"

Well, the blessings from a group of Xinggong disciples seem strange.

Chen Zhixing wanted to laugh after hearing this, but after laughing for a while he felt lonely again.

At this moment, he began to feel that the Tianxuan Realm, which should have been familiar to him, seemed to have become strange.

what is interesting is.

At this moment, someone seemed to have guessed his thoughts and walked in from outside.

"Little Taoist priest Chen Wanhong pays respect to His Majesty the Star Lord. I wish the Star Lord a long life and everlasting health."

This living ancestor of the Chen family actually presented a Taoist gift to Chen Zhixing.

Chen Zhixing: "."

Chen Zhixing, who felt a black line on his forehead, said speechlessly: "Ancestor Wan Hong, what are you doing? Why don't you just stay at your residence to practice meditation and come here to tease me?"

"It's your birthday, but you have no one to accompany you. I happened to remember that I am your elder, so I came to celebrate with you."

Chen Wanhong had a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing looked even more helpless.

He served some tea and snacks to Chen Wanhong, and looked at this living ancestor sitting opposite him. It seemed that he was making fun of him, but in fact he was trying to help him resolve his own problems.

"Everyone has this day. Learn to adapt. Although it's a little early for you, it's your fault for abandoning your family to the outside world."

"Grandpa, I'm really fine."

"Nothing? Haha!" Chen Wanhong laughed and pointed at himself. "I don't know if I'm okay or not. Do you know how I endured my 100th, 300th, and 1,000th birthdays when I first came to Xingdao? I relied on my determination, thinking that my relatives are still here. As long as one day I can return to Dongxuan Jiangzhou and step onto Ziwei Mountain again, I can see them again!"

"And then? Now all your relatives have passed away, and Ziwei Mountain is no longer the same as it was when you once lived there. What do you think?" Chen Zhixing pretended to listen attentively.

"Nothing happened. Since I learned about the death of my grandfather and my father, I have placed my hopes on the inheritance of the entire Ziwei Chen family. Although my grandfather, my father, and my relatives are all dead, their blood is still flowing in you, the descendants of the Chen family. So I have to live. Only by living can I protect them from the wind and rain and let the blood of my Chen family continue to be passed down."

"Is this your method of sustenance, senior?"

"Of course."

"Is it useful?"

"Of course it is useful. If it is not useful, why do you think there are so many noble families left in this world? How can you see me today?"

In response to Chen Zhixing's question, Chen Wanhong smiled.

"I think you should have discovered that most of the corpse ghosts in this world come from the three holy places, and a few are overseas independent cultivators. As for my family, which is from the realm of immortality, it is difficult to raise a corpse ghost among a hundred people. The reason is that everyone has a spiritual sustenance, and it naturally becomes easier to preserve humanity."

"If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have noticed." Chen Zhixing blinked. "Before this situation, I thought it was because most of the immortals from the aristocratic families would be taken away by the three holy places when they were three thousand years old, which is why the corpse ghosts couldn't come out. I didn't expect the real reason to be this."

"Ahem, this may be part of the reason. But at least for aristocratic families like us, we leave our humanity to the family, and everything is fine before we are three thousand years old. Unlike those immortals from holy places, they often lose their humanity after more than one thousand to two thousand years and turn into corpse ghosts without knowing it."

Chen Wanhong seemed a little embarrassed when he said this, but he quickly made up for it.

The fact is just as he said.

The inheritance of a sect requires talent, rules, and the inheritance of Taoism, which is naturally different from the blood ties of aristocratic families. This also leads to the fact that it is difficult or even impossible for the immortals born in the holy land to pin their own humanity on the sect's holy land. Even if they force themselves to do so, they will most likely not end up with a good result.

After all, your hopes are placed on your bloodline descendants. Even if a few evildoers appear among your bloodline descendants and bring you disaster, you can only accept it because of the relationship between bloodlines.

But what if it is a mountain range that is dependent on the sect's inheritance, and a disciple of a fellow disciple who used to be at odds with you suddenly provokes a powerful enemy into the mountain, and now you are implicated, will the enemy kill you?

Why?

Injustice!

Not to mention outsiders, you yourself also want to kill that brat!

It sounds like bullshit.

However, it is the immortals in the sect who cannot pin their hopes on human nature, which is the real difficulty for the sect. It makes people speechless, but it is also a reality that they have to face.

I have only heard of planning for future generations, but have you ever heard of planning for colleagues?

Even if there is a fearless saint who aims to bring peace to the world for all eternity, if this saint could live for ten thousand years and see the world, which was once improved because of him, become worse at the hands of the people he helped, do you think this saint would be willing to admit that these descendants made the world worse because of his evil deeds, or would he rectify the world and bring peace to future generations?

The former is bloodline, so the immortals can only accept it with a pinch of their noses.

The latter is a sect, where the Immortal Lords will take ruthless measures to deal with the evil disciples!

Although the latter is obviously much better than the former for the world, but for the immortals who deposit human nature, only the former is feasible, and the latter is simply impossible!

Even the most outstanding person in this field, the Lord of the Five Elements, Tiansheng, didn't he turn into a ghost corpse?

"So, according to the ancestor's intention, you want me to learn from you?"

After hearing what Chen Wanhong wanted to express, Chen Zhixing asked with interest.

"That's right!" Chen Wanhong nodded: "Even if you don't learn now, you should prepare early. According to your realm, living for ten thousand years should not be a problem, but how long can human sexual ability last?"

Chen Wanhua did not say the rest of the words, because he found that this younger generation of his had serious problems with his character. If he did not follow the method of bloodline entrustment, he would probably be transformed into a corpse ghost in less than a thousand years.

This does not mean that Chen Zhixing has a bad character.

Rather, it means that Chen Zhixing is too smart and has seen through everything very early on. Such intelligence is not suitable for maintaining humanity in the realm of immortality.

"I hope the ancestor can teach me."

Chen Zhixing himself is aware of his problems in this regard.

Seeing Chen Wanhua say this, he agreed.

Although he himself had no intention of using it, it did not stop him from taking a look at it. With this alternative perspective, he might even be able to find a new way.

That evening, the spring rain stopped.

Seeing that Chen Zhixing had obtained the essence of the blood preservation method, Chen Wanhong stood up and left, leaving Chen Zhixing in the hall to comprehend it.

This method of blood preservation is easy to say, but extremely difficult.

At least for Chen Zhixing, this method is really extremely difficult!

"Use the sentient beings in this world as a furnace to cultivate a thought in your heart. Once the thought is completed, it will be like a thought of diamond that has been tempered a hundred times, and it will be immortal for thousands of years. It sounds good, but the disadvantage is that you will live for this thought for the rest of your life. It will be difficult for you to have any other thoughts for the rest of your life. And you can't let this diamond thought be damaged in the slightest, otherwise the thought will be shattered and there will be no possibility of repairing it."

After saying this, Chen Zhixing sighed helplessly. This path was not suitable for him.

"It's called the Vajra Thought, but it's actually just obsession. The so-called bloodline preservation is nothing more than placing obsession on the reproduction of the family bloodline. This is a big proposition, and it's easier for people to accept, at least easier to accept than other ideas. But it's precisely because of this Vajra Thought practice method that there are so many second-generation rich people in this world who call on their ancestors for help."

For some reason, Chen Zhixing thought of the novels he had read in his previous life.

It seems that only if our ancestor practiced this kind of Vajra Thought method and kept his own obsession in the blood inheritance, he could raise those rebels who cannot distinguish between good and evil. Otherwise, with the renewal and replacement system within the family, those villain second-generation descendants would have no chance to stand out, let alone call on the ancestor to save them.

"This Vajra Obsession is not suitable for me to store my humanity, but it seems to be quite compatible with my One Thought Rebirth?"

Thinking of this, a divine pattern appeared between Chen Zhixing's eyebrows, shining brightly.

at the same time.

Above the Tianxuan Realm, a vast amount of starlight began to gather around the Ziwei Dharma Image, and began to strengthen the many incarnations of Chen Zhixing's divine consciousness stored within it.

"Well, let's be honest. Although it cannot be used to store human nature, it is quite effective in strengthening thoughts. However, this is the effect."

Chen Zhixing felt a little emotional when he realized that after strengthening the thoughts that made up the Ziwei Dharma Image in the starry sky, the number of thoughts he could separate out was greatly reduced.

"As expected, everything in the world has a price. There are gains and losses. Quality and quantity cannot be taken into account at the same time. It seems that in the future, except for using this enhanced Vajra Divine Mind at some critical points, it is better to continue to use ordinary thoughts for other things."
