Chapter 1159: Chen Chuyang's Crazy Plan

Returning to Longshe Shan, the Wild Dragon Snake doesn't need to stay in a storage bag; it found a spot to lie down and cultivate peacefully.

It can freely control its body, so there's little worry about housing; the Wild Dragon Snake stays on Longshe Shan, serving as a mountain‑guarding beast that daily protects the mountain's safety, taking the place of Heishanyang.

Other pets lack this qualification and wouldn't do such a task; to be precise, it's inconvenient—like the little carp, which is constantly asleep, and even if assigned, it couldn't guard.

Even though Longshe Shan has no danger and none can enter, it's still courteous to have a beast keep watch for safety, just in case.

The Five-Colored Salamander, needless to say, dislikes the outside environment; it spends most of its time hidden beneath Longshe Shan, concealed, continuously growing by feeding on spiritual veins, and its growth is rapid.

Just after landing, Chen Chuyang went to find Shang Hongxue, who had already known his return but was in no mood; she nestled in his arms and said, "Brother Chuyang, how is Qinglian? Has he adapted to Tianwai?"

"He's fine, doing well now and will become even stronger in the future. For now I've placed him on Longshe Shan to cultivate there; I estimate he won't leave for several years."

"As for later, he'll decide himself; if his strength allows self‑protection, he'll naturally leave."

Shang Hongxue nodded, "I know; I'm just worried about Qinglian's safety—Tianwai is indeed dangerous."

"No need to worry; descendants will have their own blessings. Qinglian has grown up and is no longer a child. You should trust him and have confidence in him." Chen Chuyang held Shang Hongxue, continually comforting her.

This wife wasn't like this before; after having a child she has changed, losing the previous decisiveness and ease, since it's her own son, she naturally worries.

Basically, all the affection she could give went to her son; fortunately, Shang Hongxue doesn't spoil Chen Qinglian—she still educates him when needed. Qinglian's current sense of responsibility owes much to her.

"Madam, with Qinglian not by your side, do you feel lonely?" Chen Chuyang asked, looking down.

Shang Hongxue lifted her head, her gaze piercing Chen Chuyang's thoughts, and said, "Brother Chuyang, you aren't still wanting another child, are you?"

"You already have three children—Haoyang, Qinglian, and Qingmeng; you really aren't still wanting more, are you?"

Chen Chuyang laughed, "Right, we still don't have a daughter. As for me, could you give me a daughter?"

He lifted Shang Hongxue's chin; since there is no child by her side, she worries and needs a son to share her attention. After all, Qingmeng is not her biological daughter but Shang Hongchen's, so she can't stay with her constantly.

Shang Hongchen also cherishes his daughter, so he naturally can't hand her over to his sister entirely.

Only his own daughter can stay by his side.

"Brother Chuyang, I have no problem; as long as you, my husband, want a child, I can comply, but…"

Shang Hongxue's tone shifted, and she glanced down.

Chen Chuyang instantly grew irritated, scooped up Shang Hongxue and headed straight into the room.

How dare this woman look down on me; it's intolerable—one may be killed, but not humiliated.

As a man, I cannot let my wife underestimate me; I must harshly teach her a lesson.

For the next three days, Chen Chuyang harshly taught the girl, making her swagger and doubt her own strength.

Fortunately, Shang Hongxue lay on the bed, weak and lifeless, hardly different from being dead.

"Brother Chuyang, how long have you been holding back? Didn't Elder Xinran give it to you?"

"How could it be that easy? Elder Xinran is overly restrained; she won't let go, so she won't let me get it so quickly. Do you know how I've been spending this time?" Chen Chuyang said painfully, "Elder Xinran kept provoking me, backing off at crucial moments—it's a grievance for me."

"Girl, I can only make you suffer; I truly miss you," he said.

Shang Hongxue rolled her eyes at Chen Chuyang, irritated, "You only think of me at times like this, but when you go off to enjoy yourself in Tianwai, why didn't you think of me?"

"Madam, you're wrong about me; I'm not off seeking pleasure. Your son needs care, and I also need to cultivate. Tianwai's celestial spiritual energy is indeed dense, perfect for cultivation; it's a rare trip, how could I not cultivate properly?"

"This time, I have brought back a spiritual vein for you."

Chen Chuyang whispered to Shang Hongxue that these aren't secrets; besides, he trusts her completely and says everything.

Shang Hongxue said she wanted to see, and then Chen Chuyang showed it to her.

"So that's what a spiritual vein looks like, Brother Chuyang. Is this vein meant to merge with Longshe Shan's vein?"

Chen Chuyang tapped Shang Hongxue's forehead and nodded, "Exactly. My wife is truly clever. Longshe Shan's spiritual vein has reached its critical point; merging this vein should allow Advancement to a mid‑grade spiritual vein. Then Longshe Shan's spiritual energy density will rise a tier, and your cultivation speed will increase as well."

"We will no longer worry about lacking spiritual energy; for the coming decades we won't have to worry about that issue."

"This vein is just a test; later there may be other veins. When I turn Longshe Shan into a cultivation holy land, we won't need to go to Tianwai to boost quickly."

Chen Chuyang also harbored the idea of linking Longshe Shan with Tianwai's Longshe Shan, allowing Tianwai's spiritual energy to flow here, into this world, feeding back to it—a step that is extremely difficult and terrifying.

However, even with the idea, there remains a long road before it can be realized.

He shared the idea with Shang Hongxue, whose pupils widened, and she dared not speak of the channel: "Brother Chuyang, would this be very dangerous? After all, siphoning Tianwai's celestial spiritual energy to supplement this world—if the people of Tianwai find out, wouldn't—"

There are too many Strong Ones in Tianwai; they wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

If discovered, they would suffer a heavy blow.

For now this is fine; Shang Hongxue doesn't want Chen Chuyang to take risks—the pressure on him is already too great.

"Don't worry, I guarantee no problem. I won't let them discover it. Once we open the link, even if it's just a year instead of ten, Longshe Shan's spiritual energy density will at least match Tianwai's; then we can disperse it to affect this world."

"Our world will also improve, cultivation difficulty will drop dramatically, and more geniuses will emerge in the future."

"My solo rise is ultimately limited; if the whole world rises together, what a terrifying scene that would be."

"Human resources are sometimes limited; a single person's strength is ultimately too weak."

"Unite all forces to confront Tianwai, face Tianwai head‑on."
