Wait, where is this kid looking!

Discreetly covering her chest, Mo Qingyue smiled and said, "Zhixing, you led the Chen family faction to conquer the Sikong family, and even slew that old thief Sikong right in front of the Purple Gold King. Truly impressive."

"Hahaha, not really, Sister Qingyue. I'm only nineteen this year; a year's time feels quite long to me."

Alright, confirmed, it's not possession; he's just entered an age of infatuation!

Feeling Chen Zhixing's nearly scorching gaze upon her, Mo Qingyue smiled in reception. She wasn't unaccustomed to such looks; she was unaccustomed to Chen Zhixing's sudden change. Since she was aware of it now, Mo Qingyue, as the Saintess, naturally could handle it gracefully.

"In our Celestial Saint Palace, there are five palaces and thirteen veins in total. Among them, the Maling Palace in the back mountain is the immortal residence of our ancestor, Celestial Derivation True Monarch. The main peak Flying Immortal Peak is the residence of the current Holy Master. The two side peaks are respectively occupied by me and Qinghe Saint Son, while the last, Dragon Gate Peak, is home to the Outer Sect disciples and steward. There are countless exotic flowers on the five peaks; if Zhixing is interested, I can take you for a tour."

Mo Qingyue briefly introduced the structure of the five peaks of Celestial Saint Palace to Chen Zhixing, yet her words contained little substantial content.

Those details were not something the Master of the Noble Family like Chen Zhixing needed to know.

For instance, Mo Qingyue is already ninety-seven this year, with cultivation reaching Nirvana Ninth Layer Peak. In three years, she can dismiss her current Saintess identity, become an Elder in the flying palace, and receive immortal items for breaking through to the Peak Realm!

Yes, it's just that easy for the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of Celestial Saint Palace to reach the Peak Realm. Compared to the unpredictability of family inheritance in the outside world, the Three Great Sacred Lands can ensure a few people achieve the Peak every century.

And these methods are merely one of the ways the Sacred Lands accumulate their foundation.

Moreover, among the thirteen veins of the mountain range, all of them hold the residences of cultivators who have mastered the techniques to break through to the Longevity Realm, indicating upfront that Celestial Saint Palace already possesses thirteen methods for breakthrough to the Longevity Realm...

Mo Qingyue took Chen Zhixing to her residence at the Saintess Palace and ordered the female disciples on the peak to serve Immortal Tea and Spirit Fruit.

Watching Chen Zhixing who continued to stare at her, Mo Qingyue suddenly burst into laughter.

"Zhixing, you didn't come to Celestial Saint Palace just to see me, did you?"

"Hehehe, I did come especially to see you, Sister Qingyue."

"Hmm? Really?" Mo Qingyue's eyes rolled: "By the way, I heard you got married recently. How come you didn't come with your virtuous spouse this time?"

"..."

Chen Zhixing rubbed his face, breaking the innocent fake smile on his face into pieces, laughing and shaking his head:

"To be honest, Sister Qingyue, I came to Celestial Saint Palace asking for a favor, but this matter can't be known to outsiders, so...."

Chen Zhixing didn't finish his sentence, but Mo Qingyue had already understood his meaning.

This time, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I knew it; if it was just to see me, why would you make such a formal gesture by submitting a letter from the Noble Family to Celestial Saint Palace explaining your intentions? So that's how it is."

"Excuse me."

"Alright, I'm sure you are aware of our palace's attitude toward the Chen family. We've been primarily supportive these years, and now you call me sister. If the matter isn't difficult, your Sister Qingyue can try to solve a couple of things for you."

"Uh..."

"Come on, what's the matter?"

"I wish to borrow the Longevity Realm Immortal Techniques collected by Celestial Saint Palace."

"..."

Mo Qingyue made no reply upon hearing this, simply lifting the teacup in front of her with a smile.

Offering tea.

Seeing him off.

Her refusal was decisively brisk!

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing got up knowingly.

"Forgive the intrusion."

His visit this time was meant to present a low profile to Celestial Saint Palace, with the aim of acquiring some assistance due to local ties when the Chen family and Daluo Sacred Land conflict, or at least have the palace remain uninvolved. Seeing Mo Qingyue's straightforward refusal, he adopted a demeanor of disappointment and turned to leave.

Just as he reached the gate, Mo Qingyue's voice echoed from behind.

"Zhixing, do you remember the words I advised you during the East Profound Domain competition? The resources to enter the Longevity Realm are ultimately in the hands of the Three Great Sacred Lands. Without joining the Three Great Sacred Lands, even with your extraordinary talent, breaking through to the Longevity Realm remains a far-fetched hope, possibly leaving you trapped in the Peak Realm forever without progress."

"Sister Qingyue, I understand, but I still want to try."

"Suit yourself."

This time, Mo Qingyue really didn't try to retain Chen Zhixing any longer, planning to let him experience enough hardships over the coming years so he would eventually voluntarily join Celestial Saint Palace.

For recruiting talents like Chen Zhixing, the Three Great Sacred Lands, holding the resources of the Longevity Realm, have abundant experience, knowing that someone like Chen Zhixing won't easily turn back unless he's cornered.

...

Meanwhile, after walking out of Celestial Saint Palace and boarding the Chen family dragon ship, Chen Zhixing felt a great relief, as if the sky and sea had opened up!

He then smiled to the accompanying Great Clan Elders Chen Daoshan: "At least for the next twenty years, Celestial Saint Palace shows no intent to move against the Chen family. From my recent probing, should our Chen family encounter any insurmountable troubles, Celestial Saint Palace might lend a helping hand."

Chen Daoshan was overjoyed hearing this: "That's genuinely good news."

"Good news indeed, but perhaps not entirely," Chen Zhixing shook his head: "Celestial Saint Palace indulgently allows the Chen family's development because they believe neither our ancestors nor I could possibly enter the Longevity Realm in the short term. They've determined we pose no threat, hence granting us time to grow."
