To the Southern Border, Obtain the Divine Method, Step into True Self!

To the Southern Border, obtain the divine method, step into True Self! The entirety of Ziwei's Chen Clan was in a storm of rising winds and surging clouds.

Yet within the Third Peak, where Chen Zhixing was, all was peaceful.

"Haah~~ What a boring trial."

Chen Zhixing sat in his chair and could not help but yawn.

The Southern Border Trial or whatever—he actually had no interest in it.

With his cultivation at the Spirit Wandering Ninth Level, going to take part in this sort of trial—was that not the same as a university student taking an elementary school exam?

Was it interesting?

Not in the slightest.

The real reason he was going to the Southern Border was that he remembered that in the plot of "Great Cultivation" in his previous life, within the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Southern Border, there had once been a tomb known as the Tomb of Nine Wind Daoist.

Nine Wind Daoist was not some mighty giant who stirred winds and clouds throughout the entire Cultivation World.

Even when he died, his cultivation had only been at Spirit Travel Peak.

But in his youth, this man had enjoyed a stroke of fortune and obtained a True Self cultivation method called the "Nine Gods Method"!

The ordinary True Self Realm emphasized merging one's own Yin Spirit with oneself, turning it into a single Great Dao Seed.

This Great Dao Seed also had another name: Heaven and Earth Dharma Form! For example, the Boundless Blood Realm that Chen Tianliang had released before in Lin'an City was Chen Tianliang's Heaven and Earth Dharma Form!

The Nine Gods Method, however, carved out another path: at each level of the True Self Realm, one could condense a Great Dao Seed.

In other words, if this method were cultivated to the True Self Ninth Level, that would be nine Heaven and Earth Dharma Forms! How terrifying was that? It was just a pity.

Before Nine Wind Daoist could even step into the True Self Realm and cultivate this method, his lamp of life went out; he died of old age and passed away sitting in meditation within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Truly, it was time and fate.

The purpose of Chen Zhixing's trip to the Southern Border this time was precisely this "Nine Gods Method"! He was about to step into the True Self Realm, and what he urgently needed was a True Self cultivation method! This "Nine Gods Method" was absolutely an excellent choice for him! "In the 'Great Cultivation' game of my previous life, after one Destined Protagonist obtained this method, he possessed invincible strength within the same realm, laying the foundation for his later invincibility in that era."

"Calculating the time, that Destined Protagonist should obtain this method three years from now."

"I can completely cut in ahead of him."

Chen Zhixing's gaze flickered continuously.

Go to the Southern Border, obtain the divine method, step into True Self! His goal this time was extremely clear.

"Young Master, these are the Mung Bean Cake, Osmanthus Cake, and Red Bean Cake I made for you. If you get hungry over there, eat some pastries."

As Bi Luo packed Chen Zhixing's luggage, she nagged on and on.

"Young Master, this is your first time traveling far from home. Carry more Spirit Stones with you. If something happens, you'll have something for emergencies."

"Young Master, I hear there are many snakes, insects, mosquitoes, and ants over in the Southern Border. I prepared all kinds of antidote pills for you and put them on the table. Don't forget them."

"Young Master, I prepared ten sets of clothes, pants, and socks for you to change and wash. You've loved being clean since you were little..."

Chen Zhixing came back to himself and could not help but smile faintly.

In truth, at his level, he had long been immune to a hundred poisons, his body untouched by grime, and he had no need whatsoever to eat or drink.

Even so, he still gently rubbed and turned the Storage Ring on his ring finger, patiently listening.

"Young Master, since you were little, there's never been a lack of people serving you. What will you do all alone this time? How about... how about I go with you?" Bi Luo raised her head and, still somewhat uneasy, spoke with a face full of worry.

"Silly girl, I'm only going for a few days. Besides, the family elders and the others will all be there."

Chen Zhixing stood up, rubbed Bi Luo's head, and smiled warmly.

Immediately after, he placed all the large and small bundles Bi Luo had packed into his Storage Ring, then carried the Sandalwood Sword Box on his back.

"I'm off."

When Chen Zhixing arrived at Mountain Gate Square, twenty to thirty young Chen Clan disciples had already gathered across the entire Mountain Gate Square!

Chen Zhixing looked over at a glance. Most of their cultivation was roughly at the Nourishing Spirit Realm, and only a few had reached the Void Transformation Realm.

Among them, two people caught Chen Zhixing's attention slightly.

One was a youth with a head of Purple Hair hanging down, his whole body surging with Void Transformation cultivation, and in his eyes, streak after streak of Great Dao Runes actually flickered.

The other was an unfamiliar youth with twin sabers at his waist and half a refined-iron mask on his face.

Chen Zhixing had never seen this twin-saber youth in the Chen Clan before.

However, Chen Zhixing merely glanced at him once, then withdrew his gaze, with not much ripple in his heart.

To Chen Zhixing, they were only a group of "children."

His horizons had long since gone beyond this.

"Third Young Master!"

"Third Young Master is here!"

"I heard that a few days ago, Third Young Master directly challenged the Clan Elder in Early Education Class and forced that elder into speechlessness."

"Ah, that's only because he's a direct-line son like the Third Young Master. If it were a collateral-born branch member like us doing something like this, we'd probably have been hit with a punishment as vast as the heavens long ago!"

"I heard the Third Young Master's cultivation is only at the Nourishing Spirit Realm. If his ranking is poor when he goes to the southern border this time, won't he be disgracing the Chen family's direct line?"

"Hmph, Chen Zhixing is just relying on having been born well. If we had his background, our achievements would definitely be far above his!"

"Exactly. If we had resources like his, we would have soared into the sky long ago!"

"The heavens really are unfair. We work so hard, yet we can only be limited by our humble origins, and have to fight for every bit of resources ourselves. But an idle loafer like Chen Zhixing doesn't have to do a thing, and all kinds of resources are tilted toward him!"

"Stop talking. Who told him to be so good at being reincarnated, with such a good father?"

"Heh heh. Once we get to the southern border, I'll trample Chen Zhixing hard underfoot, and let the higher-ups of our Chen family see that bloodline decides nothing!"

Whisper after whisper kept ringing out.

However.

When Chen Zhixing walked over.

This group of collateral-born branch disciples of the Chen family could only lower their brows and smooth their gazes, cupping their hands in respectful salute as they said, "Third Young Master."

"Greetings, Third Young Master."

"Third Young Master, please go ahead."

Chen Zhixing gave a slight nod, not even looking at them as he walked step by step toward the very front of the crowd.

At the very front of the crowd, the Clan Elders in charge of this Southern Border Trial also smiled at Chen Zhixing one after another and said, "Third Young Master."

Chen Zhixing smiled at them.

The Chen family's hierarchy was strict, and there was a natural difference between the treatment of direct-line disciples and branch disciples.

Even if, among these branch disciples, some had cultivation and strength above Chen Zhixing's, they still had to obediently salute him and could not show the slightest disrespect.

There was no other reason!

It was because what flowed within Chen Zhixing's body was the purest bloodline of Ziwei's Chen Clan! As for these Chen family branch disciples, either they were not descendants of that Ancestor, but born of other members of the Chen family.

Or they were simply descendants of meritorious servants who had once followed the Chen Family Ancestor, and had merely been granted the surname Chen.

"Nephew Zhixing."

A gentle laugh rang out.

Chen Zhixing looked up.

He saw that Chen Tianchen, the leading figure in charge of this trial, was sitting on a large chair and greeting Chen Zhixing.

Beside him was also a little girl as delicate as if she had been carved from jade and powdered with rouge.

"Brother Zhixing," the little girl said, smiling sweetly and quite politely at Chen Zhixing.

"Fourth Uncle, little sister Ling'er."

Chen Zhixing smiled and greeted them.

"Ah, has that father of yours gotten addicted to being a hands-off shopkeeper? Still unwilling to come back?" Chen Tianchen joked with a laugh.

Chen Zhixing shrugged and replied, "Who knows? I'd guess my father and mother are off somewhere touring mountains and rivers, lingering so much they've forgotten to return."

As the two of them were talking.

From within the crowd, a wave of incomparably respectful salutes suddenly rang out.

"Eldest Young Master!"

"We... pay respects to the Eldest Young Master!"

In an instant.

The bustling crowd took the initiative to open up a path.

All the Chen family disciples lowered their heads, their arms pressed against their bodies, their expressions filled with respect.

At the end of the path.

Chen Zhaosheng's expression was calm, his black hair loose over his shoulders, as he walked over step by step with his hands clasped behind his back.

Beside him followed a beautiful woman with a mole at the corner of her lips.

It was Lu Ying.
