Chapter 31: Because I am the Best Evidence

Boom!!

Chen Zhixing's words exploded in the mind of the clan elder like thunder.

He couldn't help but take a few steps back, then took a deep breath to calm himself.

"Nonsense!" The clan elder remained composed and questioned, "If what you said is true, then how did our ancestor rely on this method to enter the Great Eternal Life?"

As soon as these words fell, the young members of the Chen family nodded slightly.

Yes, if what Chen Zhixing said is true, how did the ancestor enter the realm of Great Eternal Life?

Chen Zhixing glanced at the clan elder and calmly said, "The world is vast, and everyone is different."

"The reason why the ancestor was able to enter the realm of Great Eternal Life through this method is because the ancestor was born with a Five Spirit Body!"

"A Five Spirit Body from birth can naturally blend the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth!"

At this point, Chen Zhixing paused and sneered, "Dare I ask, elder, are you also born with a Five Spirit Body?"

"I..." For a moment, the clan elder looked at Chen Zhixing and was at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer.

Because, as Chen Zhixing said, the founder of the Chen family did indeed have a Five Spirit Body from birth!

"Who wouldn't say such things as you did? Do you have any proof? Let me ask you again, are you the only smart one who can see through this? Why can't the many highly cultivated individuals in our Chen family see it? Why do others still practice the Five Spirit Qi Gathering Technique?" The clan elder became annoyed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but laugh.

Isn't this just like when you try to reason with him, he uses logic, and when you use logic, he acts like a rogue?

Shaking his head, Chen Zhixing indifferently said, "Why? Because there are too many fools like you who cling to the past and neglect the present!"

Before these words could land, the clan elder was shaken by the piercing words "fools."

Without waiting for him to speak, Chen Zhixing continued, "People like you only know how to blindly imitate the past, without understanding their own circumstances. You believe that ancestral methods cannot be violated, and old traditions cannot be changed. You think that whatever the ancestors said must be good, and whatever the ancestors practiced must be strong!"

"Even if the ancestors' words were wrong, you forcefully interpret and distort their meaning, thinking it is correct!"

Little do you know that in this world, each generation is stronger than the previous one!

The times are progressing, and we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors, destined to stand higher and see farther!"

After a pause, Chen Zhixing looked towards the distant mountains and slowly said, "When dealing with our ancestors, what is needed is recognition and respect. They were pioneers, and we must maintain the proper awe. It is because of the existence of the ancestors that the Chen family is what it is today."

"But it does not mean that we should take everything the ancestors said and did as the ultimate truth! We should adapt their cultivation methods to suit ourselves!"

"Take the essence and discard the dross! This is the attitude and practice that the Chen family should have!"

When Chen Zhixing finished speaking, the entire mountaintop fell silent.

All the disciples of the Chen family stared wide-eyed at Chen Zhixing.

Chen Zhaosheng, on the other hand, lowered his head in contemplation.

"You..." The clan elder, however, still had his thoughts on the words "fools" and sneered, "You, a young child, are just speaking grandiose words. Who can't do that? What about evidence? I ask you, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

Chen Zhixing shifted his gaze to the clan elder, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled.

Forget it.

Why did he bother saying so much to him?

"Incurable disease." Chen Zhixing uttered these four words before preparing to leave.

Just then...

"No need for further evidence."

"Because... I am the best evidence."

A soft sigh sounded.

In the next moment...

A thin and withered old man, dressed in a simple ancient Daoist robe, his face covered in age spots, exuding an aura of decay and senility, appeared at the mountaintop.

The Chen family descendants looked over with puzzled expressions.

Who is this person?

Only the elder of the clan, upon seeing this withered old man, was momentarily stunned, followed by an expression of incredulous joy on his face.

He was about to respectfully speak up.

"Hush."

The withered old man gently shook his head at him, then looked at Chen Zhixing, who was about to leave, and kindly smiled.

"Young friend Zhixing, may I ask you a question? Is there a solution to breaking through the realm of longevity?"

Chen Zhixing paused his steps, turned to look at the unfamiliar old man, and shook his head.

"I've said it before, the world is vast and everyone is different."

"To break through the realm of longevity, based on my speculation, it is not enough to simply follow the footsteps of those who came before. Only by finding the true self, encountering the Great Dao that truly belongs to oneself, and forging one's own path, can one seek opportunities within it."

After speaking, Chen Zhixing did not linger any longer and left.

The withered old man watched Chen Zhixing's retreating figure and a pensive expression appeared on his face.

"This is just a young child, speaking so boldly. I'll deal with him later," the elder of the clan hurriedly stepped forward, smiling.

Before he could finish speaking...

"No need. Perhaps... he is right."

The withered old man let out a soft sigh and gradually disappeared from sight.

The elder of the clan stiffened upon hearing this.

"Elder, who is this person?"

"Yeah, why haven't we seen him in the Chen family before?"

"Is he a new honorary elder?"

The Chen family descendants quickly approached and asked.

Only then did the elder of the clan snap back to his senses, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask! Continue with your cultivation!"

Back at the Third Peak...

From a distance, Chen Zhixing caught a whiff of the aroma of cooking.

Biluo placed the braised lion's head on the table. When she saw Chen Zhixing return, she exclaimed, "Huh? Young master, why are you back so early today? Did that elder trouble you again?"

"He troubles me? It's good enough if I don't trouble him," Chen Zhixing casually shook his head, then picked up his chopsticks, picked up a braised lion's head, and put it in his mouth. After chewing a few bites, his eyes lit up.

"Biluo, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"

Biluo blushed and lowered her head. "As long as young master enjoys it."

"I enjoy it very much." Chen Zhixing smiled and said, "I think the best decision I made back then was to have my parents bring you back from Lin'an City. Your cooking skills are amazing."

Eight years ago, Chen Zhixing's family found Biluo, a beggar girl on the verge of freezing to death, on the streets of Lin'an City. Biluo nodded and smiled, "That's also what Biluo is most grateful for."

After a pause, Biluo seemed to remember something and slapped her forehead. "Look at my memory. Right, young master, I actually found someone you asked me to look for recently!"

"Oh?" Chen Zhixing put down his chopsticks, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Who? Where is he now?"

Biluo quickly replied, "This person's name is Ye Chen. His words and actions are quite strange. Whenever he has a conflict with someone, he would say things like 'You already have a way to die,' 'You are nothing more than a chicken or a dog,' 'I, Ye Chen, cannot be humiliated. Sooner or later, you will regret what you did today,' 'With just a word from me, I can make the entire city tremble with three-foot-long swords. Do you believe it?'"

This person is currently in Lin'an City, but because he offended the Black Dragon Gang in the city, he has been beaten half to death and imprisoned by them."
