Chapter 365 - 334: Gathered by Fear, Scattered by Profit
Inside the Patriarch’s Hall of the Sikong family, a silence enveloped the room.Chen Zhixing sat alone on the main seat, massaging his temples with some degree of frustration.
"Being the patriarch is truly challenging."
With a sigh, Chen Zhixing reflected on the past three days where he had been overwhelmingly busy. The Sikong family, with a heritage spanning millennia, was among the top-tier noble families, tangled with countless affairs. The handover this time was exceedingly intricate and cumbersome.
All these matters required Chen Zhixing’s decisions. Despite his great capabilities, he could not help but feel exhausted.
"When Grandfather returns, I should return this position to him."
Chen Zhixing muttered to himself. He would rather spend his time on cultivation and enhancing his strength than waste it on these trivial matters.
In truth, he had always been indifferent to the duties of being the patriarch, with his greatest pursuit being the relentless quest for the pinnacle of cultivation, to reach higher realms.
Shortly after.
Several Peak Masters came to pay their respects, each bearing expressions of joy, reporting the acquisition of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, along with numerous divine weapons.
After handling these matters, Chen Zhixing placed the Cyan Pheasant Sword into the Sikong family’s Weapon Storage Pavilion, allowing it to absorb the energies there.
herworld Elders and half-Nirvana Dugu Ni of the Ziwei Chen Family, they would not stand a chance against the Sikong family!
Not to mention going against the entire world?
"To truly have Eastern Profound Domain submit, to dominate the noble families, you both must at least reach the Peak Realm!"
"With the three of us, along with the Celestial Wave Ancestor from the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, if Qin Tianzhong could also reach the Peak, then even if the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages do not emerge, we could truly remain unchallenged across the Thirteen States of the East Profound Domain!"
"Even if the entire world united as one against us, we could likely break them!"
Chen Tianyuan’s eyes continuously shifted, finally stating:
"In that case, it might be better to vacate the Huai State!"
"This place is affluent and fertile, abundant with resources. After we leave, no other force would leave it alone; they would certainly come in a frenzy to seize it."
"The bustling world moves for profit. With this, the so-called anti-Chen alliance would inevitably arise from fear and dissolve from interest, allowing our Ziwei Chen Family to seize the opportunity for rapid development and expansion!"
At these words, Chen Zhixing’s eyes gleamed brightly.
...
...
A month later.
"Set off!"
With a loud shout from Elder Zhaoguang.
Over a hundred Giant Wheel Flying Ships and a multitude of flying spiritual artifacts slowly ascended.
Upon those flying ships, heaps of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures piled up like mountains.
This was already the third trip of the month.
In this month, Chen Zhixing led the Ziwei Chen Family not only eradicating the Sikong family, but also sweeping through all the small worlds of ancient ruins within the Huai State.
Couldn’t take it all, simply couldn’t!
"Fourth Uncle, this should be everything, right?"
Chen Zhixing asked Chen Tianchen beside him.
"Yes, all that can be gathered for now is here. Continuing to gather would require extensive time and effort, potentially risking danger."
Chen Tianchen smiled slightly, then lowered his voice:
"Moreover, if we truly empty out everything, turning the Huai State into a barren land, those forces might not come to contest for it."
Chen Zhixing nodded.
Moments later.
BOOM——!!!
Hundreds of flying ships suddenly launched on their course.
Tearing through the void, breaking through the clouds!
Hundreds of Giant Wheel Flying Ships, like mountains turned on their side, soared through the high skies, with nine True Dragons pulling palaces, golden carriages, and other vehicle cortèges behind them, a grand procession of ancient war vehicles following suit, reaching unparalleled magnificence!
As if even the Nine Heavens Immortal King, the Supreme Giant from myths going on their journey, could not compare!
