Comprehending the Longevity Divine Art, Bestowing Vitality with a Single Thought!

In that instant!

Above Purple Star.

Without any warning, billions upon billions of streams of Chaos Qi emerged, like a celestial river flowing backward as they poured down from the ninth heavens.

Countless ancient Great Dao runes manifested on their own from the void, blooming with dazzling golden light!

Endless purple qi swept in from the boundless starry sky, spanning the entire Great Wilderness for billions upon billions of miles!

Immediately after!

The heavenly music of the Great Dao sounded from the void, like the whispers of billions of chaos deities and the immortal melodies played above the ninth heavens, echoing beside every living being's ears.

At this moment—

Every living being in the Great Desolate Realm witnessed these earth-shaking Great Dao phenomena!

Many old monsters who had remained hidden from the world were so alarmed that they opened their eyes one after another, staring fixedly toward Purple Star, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

"What phenomenon is that?!"

"Someone... is touching the source of the Great Dao!"

"What a terrifying phenomenon! Are they trying to defy the heavens?!"

"Could it be that another monstrous genius of the ages has been born?"

"That direction... seems to be the Chen Family of the Purple Star Domain?"

"The Chen Family? That ancient imperial clan that has secluded itself from the world for a million years?"

"Who would have thought that even the Chen Family, because of White Jade Capital's appearance, was preparing to reenter the world!"

"It is said that a Chaos Body prodigy from the Chen Family sealed himself within Divine Source a million years ago. It must be this person!"

Countless voices of shock and horror resounded across every corner of the Great Desolate Realm. All were shaken by this heaven-shattering phenomenon.

At that moment, Chen Changqing only felt that his thoughts had become clearer than ever before.

With a single thought, the mysteries of heaven, earth, and the Great Dao unfolded before him like an ancient scroll, allowing him to turn through its pages at will.

"All living things have a fixed lifespan... Even stars that span eternity will one day wither."

Chen Changqing murmured inwardly, his gaze as profound as though it reflected the ages.

His thoughts had already transcended the level of cultivation arts and techniques, glimpsing the source of the Great Dao.

"Longevity... What is Longevity? And how can one attain Longevity?"

Since the Great Wilderness was first opened, this question had trapped countless heavenly prodigies and every living being that yearned to transcend.

Over countless eras, who knew how many exceptionally gifted figures had exhausted their entire lives in an attempt to glimpse a corner of Longevity, only to ultimately become a handful of yellow earth.

Yet now, beneath Chen Changqing's terrifying comprehension accumulated over a million years, he seemed to have seen Longevity!

The chaos world before him was utterly empty, containing nothing at all.

There were no laws of heaven and earth, nor were there any living beings.

Nothingness was the beginning of all things, but it was also the end of all things!

Only—

Within this "nothingness," could "something" be born?

Rumble!

The instant that thought arose, Chen Changqing's Chaos Body suddenly erupted with radiant light. Chaos Qi burst forth from within him, causing the entire Chen Clan Ancestral Land to tremble violently, as though it could not bear this terrifying power.

Chen Changqing abruptly opened his eyes.

At that instant, his eyes no longer contained empty chaos.

For within the deepest reaches of that chaos, a seed had actually condensed out of thin air.

A green seed.

It was as tiny as a mustard seed, yet it radiated vitality that made the entire Great Desolate Realm tremble.

This was the first wisp of vitality within chaos!

The first "something" born from "nothingness"!

At the same time—

The sight Chen Changqing beheld was displayed throughout the Chen Clan Ancestral Land in the form of a Great Dao phenomenon.

They saw—

Before the horrified gazes of every member of the Chen Family, that green seed transformed at a visible speed into a small tree.

Immediately afterward, enshrouded in countless strands of green light representing vitality, the small tree began climbing higher and higher at an astonishing rate, transforming into a towering tree!

Its trunk was as thick as a dragon, its branches and leaves blotted out the heavens and covered the earth, and its roots plunged into the deepest part of chaos!

Boom!

In that instant, the entire expanse of chaos underwent a heaven-and-earth overturning transformation.

The once-empty chaos world, because of the appearance of this towering tree, now possessed a source of vitality.

Chen Changqing sensed something and slowly lifted his gaze toward the towering tree that had grown from his chaotic sea of consciousness.

Endless life-giving creation flowed among the giant tree's branches and leaves. Every leaf reflected a Great Dao law, while at the highest point of its crown, where countless green rays gathered, a fruit had condensed.

Only one.

The fruit was round and translucent, radiating boundless vitality throughout its entirety.

Merely looking at it stirred a longing from the depths of one's soul—

Longevity!

That was Longevity. That was eternity!

Chen Changqing gazed at the green fruit, the corners of his lips lifting slightly into a faint smile.

He raised his hand, his fingertip lightly touching the void as though caressing that fruit, and leisurely spoke.

"Today, I behold the Dao of Longevity, comprehend a Divine Ability Method, condense the Longevity Dao Fruit, and thereby attain Longevity!"

The Chen Clan Ancestral Land fell into dead silence.

Chen Haotian was stunned.

Chen Lingfeng was stunned.

Every Chen Family powerhouse present was stunned.

The scene of heaven-and-earth phenomena just now had already completely surpassed the bounds of their understanding.

And Chen Changqing's final words—

Were like a heavy hammer smashing viciously into everyone's hearts.

"Lon... Longevity?"

An extremely senior Supreme Elder spoke in a trembling voice. He swallowed hard before saying with difficulty, "The ancestor... he just said that he had attained Longevity?"

"How is that possible?" Another Clan Elder muttered, even the wrinkles on his face trembling. "Longevity is something that even Great Emperors seek in vain!"

However!

What horrified them even more was yet to come.

As the phenomenon of the Great Dao tree gradually faded, everyone keenly noticed that the vitality and blood within their bodies had increased by several degrees out of thin air!

Simply witnessing the phenomenon had brought such an absurd effect?

Chen Lingfeng abruptly examined himself inwardly, and his pupils contracted sharply.

He had cultivated for thousands of years and had long since entered the Great Sage Realm. How difficult was it for his vitality and blood to grow?

It could be said that at his realm, every slight increase in vitality and blood required centuries of bitter cultivation, supplemented by countless heavenly treasures.

Yet at that moment, merely from one glance at the phenomenon, his vitality and blood—which had been stagnant for many years—had quietly risen by a trace, like a dry well encountering spring!

"This... this..."

Chen Lingfeng opened his mouth, only to realize that he did not know what to say. His gaze instinctively swept over the people beside him, and from the equally horrified expressions of the Supreme Elders, it was not hard to tell that everyone present had benefited.

Then he looked at their old ancestor, Chen Haotian.

This Quasi-Emperor Realm expert, who had been hanging on by only his final breath, now had a noticeably rosier complexion. Though his body remained terribly withered, he was far better than he had been moments ago, when he looked as though he could breathe his last at any time.

In truth!

Chen Haotian himself understood the changes in his body better than anyone.

His flesh had long decayed to the utmost extent, and no divine medicine or spiritual pill had any effect on him anymore.

But when the green light emanating from the giant tree phenomenon brushed past him just now, the flame of life within him, which had nearly gone out, was like a fire fed with another bundle of kindling. Its flame forcefully leaped several degrees higher.

His body trembled without stop.

Not from weakness, but from excitement.

Those cloudy old eyes stared fixedly at Chen Changqing. His lips quivered for a long while before he finally forced out a trembling sentence. "Good... good lad, this... what kind of method is this?"

Hearing this, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and replied, "Ancestor."

"Just now, a feeling came to me, and amid enlightenment, I glimpsed a trace of the Great Dao's source. Through this, I comprehended a method different from the current cultivation system of the Great Desolate Realm."

"Different from... the current cultivation system?"

Chen Haotian's pupils suddenly shrank as an inconceivable thought surged into his mind. "You... what you comprehended, could it be an Alternative Dao-Proving Method?"

Alternative Dao-Proving Method.

The moment those words were spoken, everyone in the Chen Family was astonished.

So-called alternative Dao-proving meant not following the orthodox path of cultivation, but instead opening another path and creating an entirely new route to prove one's Dao.

Such methods were few and far between even in the history of the entire Great Desolate Realm.

This youth, who had only just awakened from Divine Source, had actually created an Alternative Dao-Proving Method in a moment of enlightenment?

Chen Changqing nodded slightly. "You may call it that."

"I have named it—the Divine Ability Method."

Divine Ability Method.

Chen Haotian silently repeated those three words to himself, just about to ask for further details.

Unexpectedly!

Whoosh!

A faint sound of something slicing through the air rang out.

The next instant, everyone in the Chen Family was dumbstruck again. As if someone had cast a body-freezing spell on them, they stood rigidly in place, their eyes nearly popping from their sockets.

They saw Chen Changqing raise his right hand and lightly flick a finger.

A streak of green light containing infinite vitality flew from his fingertips and swiftly entered Chen Haotian's body.

Chen Changqing withdrew his hand and looked at the old man who had guarded the Chen Family for a million years, his eyes filled with respect and gratitude.

"Ancestor, you have suffered greatly these million years."

"From this day onward—"

"My Chen Family members will no longer suffer from the anguish of exhausted lifespans."

As his words fell.

Boom!

An unimaginably vast aura of life suddenly erupted from Chen Haotian's body.

Before everyone's utterly horrified eyes, Chen Haotian's decayed body underwent a heaven-and-earth overturning transformation at a visible speed. His shriveled skin regained its luster, his cloudy eyes became as dazzling as blazing suns, his white hair turned black...

Vast and boundless power of vitality and blood roared from his body, transforming into streams of crimson-gold blood qi that shot straight into the skies.

The temperature across the entire Chen Clan Ancestral Land suddenly soared in that instant. As the residual waves of blood qi swept over the bluestone ground, it actually emitted hissing, scorching sounds.

His bearing was like an abyss and a prison!

His pressure was like mountains and seas!

Old Ancestor Chen Haotian, at that moment, had actually returned to his peak!

"Bestowing vitality with a single thought—this is the Divine Ability Method: Longevity!"
