Chapter 1185: Holy Maiden Bai Meng

One month later.

In Tianwai Longshe Shan, Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang both broke through one after another, having been instructed by Chen Chuyang for a month; their strength surged, multiplying several times, their combat experience improved, and their own understanding of cultivation and insight into their own techniques advanced further.

Both had decent talent and good comprehension; what Chen Chuyang taught them was grasped within a few days. In just a month they learned much—application of force, the subtlety of Qi, insight into formations, and knowledge of certain weapons—all rose a level.

When traveling outside, one may not know how to set up a Formation, but should still understand its principles; otherwise, entering a Formation without grasping its basis could trap you, or entering a Killing Formation could lead to death and Dao loss.

As his son, how could he not understand?

In other aspects as well, he wanted to impart everything he knew to them—Formations, Pill Refining, artifact forging, bodily cultivation, Qi cultivation, use of divine abilities, and so on—since they were his sons, he felt a need to be especially considerate.

After their breakthroughs, Chen Chuyang nodded with satisfaction: "Your cultivation breakthroughs have raised you in all respects; I, your father, am very pleased. I can't claim your current strength is invincible at the same level, but at least in Tianwai you now possess some self‑preservation ability."

"Tianwai is full of countless geniuses; remember, you must not underestimate anyone nor be recklessly arrogant. Follow what I, your father, taught you: play the pig to eat the tiger, be petty when needed, conceal your clumsiness when possible."

"Your primary requirement is to survive, not to roam Tianwai. In the future you'll inevitably want to leave Longshe Shan; the interior of the Mangshan Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, so avoid the deeper layers. You should venture into the human world and learn more about Tianwai."

"Brothers united are as sharp as cutting gold; you must stay together, help each other—this is the foundation for scraping by in Tianwai."

Together, their chance of survival increases dramatically, at least several times higher than if alone.

Alone, Chen Chuyang would not trust their strength nor let them go so quickly; in the True Person Realm, destiny cannot truly guarantee self‑preservation. As long as they don't cause trouble, act a bit petty, survival remains possible.

"You are still young; at your age, possessing True Person Realm strength is already remarkable."

"There's no rush to leave; staying stable is best. In a few years you'll be able to depart, venture into the outside world. When the time comes, I'll have arranged it: first stay with the Huang Family, let Huang Yan acquaint you with the outside world, then gradually use the Huang Family's standing to explore further."

"With this arrangement, you have no objections, do you?"

Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang quickly clasped their hands and said, "The children will obey father."

Chen Chuyang nodded: "You two are my sons and my pride. I hope you won't become arrogant or complacent. This place is Tianwai; I cannot keep watching over you, nor can I always intervene to save you. Once you're outside, you may have to rely on yourselves."

"Therefore, before you choose to leave, you must have sufficient strength."

"Yes, Father." Both nodded repeatedly; they knew their father acted for their sake and would not defy Chen Chuyang's orders.

Chen Chuyang's stay in Tianwai is limited; he cannot remain there forever. They understand that once outside, they must rely on themselves—unlike in their own world where trouble could still be appealed to father for help.

Both are acutely aware of Tianwai's dangers; everyone they have seen is powerful, none of whom they could defeat.

Bai Xinlan's oppressive aura left a deep impression; they dared not confront her, nor possessed any power to resist.

After feeling the pressure, they began frantic improvement. Even as the clan chief of a beast tribe, his power was already sky‑reaching; the outside world is vast. Within the Mangshan Mountain Range alone, Bai Xinlan's strength is not the strongest. At that moment, they grasped Tianwai's terror.

All thoughts in their hearts ceased at that moment.

"Alright, from now on you cultivate on your own; if anything is unclear, you may come find me."

Chen Chuyang looked gently at his two sons, satisfied: "I estimate I will remain for a while longer."

"Yes."

Having settled his two sons, Chen Chuyang began his own cultivation, arriving in Tianwai; naturally he must absorb Tianwai's spiritual energy, a rare chance to fill himself, which he would not waste.

Returning to that world, achieving such fulfillment is not so easy.

His cultivation advanced a bit; the Sixth Layer of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture is within reach, requiring his own state to be complete before returning to breakthrough. Breaking through here would cause too great a disturbance; Chen Chuyang cannot guarantee what chaos might ensue.

His original world is still preferable, where he can use the world's power to suppress himself and seal the surroundings.

Here, this Formation may not be able to contain him; the Mangshan Mountain Range is too dangerous. Chen Chuyang feels insecure and would not choose to breakthrough here.

Cultivation knows no passage of time.

Three months slipped by.

Within the Luotian White Snake Clan's Holy Maiden cave, after Bai Meng shed her skin, her flesh became even whiter; her bloodline surged terrifyingly, the horrific bloodline power constantly made her body tremble, a flesh‑shaking that could not be suppressed.

With the breakthrough in cultivation and the Advancement of her bloodline, after ingesting Luotian Pill and Snake King Pill, she succeeded: a single skin shedding and bloodline Advancement dramatically boosted her strength; her cultivation skyrocketed to the True Lord Seven Heavens, a double‑layer breakthrough at once.

That's not the most terrifying part; the elevation of her bloodline is the scariest, directly raising her talent by two grades, making her far stronger than before, and clarifying her future. Previously her bloodline density only reached Seek Dao Realm at the top of the heavens; now, at three layers of Dao Realm, she hopes to pursue the first and second.

The Path of the Demon Emperor now holds a glimmer of hope; this change is monumental.

Bai Meng looked at her brand‑new self, excitedly saying, "The effects of Luotian Pill and Snake King Pill are terrifying. I've only absorbed half the potency and have already transformed. If I absorb the remaining half, reaching the True Lord pinnacle will be no problem; even the Seek Dao Realm could be brushed aside."

"I am already like this; isn't Master her as well?"

Bai Xinlan's talent is stronger than hers, her bloodline more terrifying; after taking them, isn't that so?

Feeling herself carefully, Bai Meng was very satisfied; that surging power truly made her happy.

She sensed the other clan members; their cultivations had also improved, and Bai Meng was very pleased.

She packed up, stood, took the gathered materials, left the cave, and headed toward Longshe Shan.
