Chapter 1028: Ten Years of Shifting Winds and Clouds

Deep within the Mangshan Mountain Range.

Inside a White Snake Palace.

The overall style resembles a snake palace, with statues all of white snakes, imposing and intimidating.

A figure lay in the very center of the palace, where there was a wide chair; the alluring figure drew attention, and a single glance would captivate you, making it impossible to look away.

The figure narrowed its eyes, those eyes slowly opening, glancing at the girl standing below, then slowly sat upright; every movement exuded a seductive charm—not only men, but women who saw it could not help but be drawn to her.

"Bai Meng, have you found out? Why would spatial fluctuations appear outside the mountain range? Could it be that some clueless humans have entered the Mangshan Mountains?"

The white-clad figure below cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Chief, the people I sent found no problems, nor any trace of humans."

"Is that so?" the alluring figure said lightly, "Looks like an accident?"

Bai Meng replied, "Chief, it may not be an accident; perhaps we haven't detected the visitors, but that place indeed showed spatial fluctuations, and I went to investigate—there truly is human aura, but..."

"But what?" the figure lowered its gaze, eyes deep with an undeniable pressure.

Bai Meng immediately reported, "Chief, they likely fled and are hiding somewhere; give me a little more time and I should be able to find them."

"Good, I leave this to you—produce the person alive or the corpse."

"Yes."

"Go on."

"Yes." Bai Meng withdrew.

The alluring figure rose, gazing outward, murmuring, "Humans? Spatial fluctuations that can quickly conceal oneself—I hope it's not trouble."

"Humans probably wouldn't dare enter the Mangshan Mountain Range unless they truly wished to die."

"Perhaps it's just an accident."

"I hope so; the Mangshan Mountain Range has been peaceful for thousands of years, and I don't want it broken."

……

On Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang smiled, seeing everything Qinglong Daoren did within his eyes.

He could also know everything in Tianwai.

Qinglong Daoren will report those situations; regarding Tianwai and the place where Qinglong Daoren resides, Chen Chuyang lets them handle it themselves, while he requires Qinglong Daoren to report once a month, preferably after clarifying their location to plan the next step.

Over in Tianwai, stabilized with a protective formation, the situation of the two Qinglong Daoren is safe.

"Exploring Tianwai need not be rushed; take it step by step—that mountain range is very dangerous, and its depths likely hide a great horror."

"That place is a good spot; if undiscovered, it truly is a good place—I hope they can remain undiscovered."

Buy some time, wait for Qinglong Daoren to grow quickly; his strength is too weak, staying in this world would be of little use.

It's better not to go to Tianwai yet; it seems he's right—Qinglong Daoren has adapted to Tianwai's spiritual energy density, his cultivation rising swiftly, but the True Realm is still too weak to guarantee their safety; Chen Chuyang's request is simple: he hopes Qinglong Daoren will quickly enter the Dao Realm, so as to protect Elder Xinran and establish a firm foothold in Tianwai.

The first step succeeded; thereafter, as long as they hide themselves, there will be no problem.

"The resources in Tianwai are indeed abundant, far richer than I imagined; the plan for spiritual veins might also be realized."

"Longshe Shan's spiritual veins need upgrading; we must obtain mid-to-high-grade spiritual veins from Tianwai, though low-grade ones would work, just with somewhat lesser effect."

"As long as the quantity suffices, merging several low-grade spiritual veins will still allow Longshe Shan's veins to advance."

Chen Chuyang lifted his head, gazing at the sky, his eyes toward Tianwai.

In the void, those people still stare at this world, wanting to reach Tianwai from the void, but it's not easy.

"Those people are still watching; I wonder what expression they'd have if they knew we have another route to Tianwai?"

With a wave of the hand, the heavenly grand formation continues to open, sealing off everything in this world; if they do not descend here, they cannot discover the situation of this world.

Anyone from Tianwai, Chen Chuyang has cleared away; the situation here is unknown to those Tianwai powers.

"Time—I need more time; this world needs to grow."

"Tianwai's resources replenishing this world can quickly restore its spiritual energy; ordinary low-grade spiritual veins are of little use unless a high-grade vein is found, merging this heaven and earth, only then can the spiritual energy here rapidly thicken, making it more suitable for cultivation."

"High-grade spiritual veins—where could they be easily obtained?"

"Low-grade spiritual veins are hard to find; even if found, they aren't yours."

Chen Chuyang clearly understands this, so he currently harbors no such thought—if he can obtain it, he will; if not, he won't grieve.

This world is gradually improving; there's no need to rush.

Tianwai—must not be rashly connected, otherwise endless troubles will follow.

"Hongxue and Hongchen's cultivation is also gradually rising; according to the present situation, their advancement to the True Realm is merely a matter of time, especially Hongxue's Cultivation—a major issue requiring utmost caution."

"The third level of Cultivation must not be rashly opened; at least, do not touch it for these few years."

"Moreover, Qi Ruohua's side—after Qi Haoyang left her, she too began to accelerate her cultivation, her strength rising rapidly."

"As for Hu Jiuwei's side, there's no movement at all; likely she is in seclusion."

Several women have all taken a look; Zhuge Ruolan's side is also in seclusion.

Chen Chuyang withdrew his gaze and continued to enter seclusion.

Time.

In a blink, ten years passed.

Ten years time quietly passed, spent silently in cultivation.

On Longshe Shan, changes have been great.

The two sons have grown up, no longer children but youths.

After Qi Haoyang and Chen Qinglian crossed blows, they collided again; having fought countless times, they are so familiar with each other's attacks that without looking, they know what the other will do.

In the end, they both collapsed.

Chen Qinglian laughed, "Big brother, when will you return?"

Qi Haoyang laughed, "Maybe in the next few days; I've stayed on Longshe Shan for ten years, it's time to go back—my mother misses me."

Over the past ten years, Qi Haoyang has grown quickly, and his strength has changed greatly.

His cultivation reached the third level of Golden Core; a few years ago, with Chen Chuyang's help, he successfully condensed his inner core, and then soared straight up.

Chen Qinglian was a step behind, but not by much—first level of Golden Core.

Full of Technique, terrifying indeed.

The two brothers together could be described as… very close.

Their relationship, after getting along for these ten years, is very good.

"Can I follow you down the mountain?" Chen Qinglian asked.

Qi Haoyang blinked: "Second brother, I don't know."

"If you want to go down the mountain, you need to ask Father."

Chen Chuyang disagrees; Chen Qinglian cannot possibly leave.

Chen Qinglian also knows this, so he asked Qi Haoyang instead of Father.
