Chapter 1671: Third Layer Cultivation?

Grandmother Long Zetian stood frozen in place for a long, long time; after she came to her senses, Chen Chuyang had already walked away. Long Zetian turned, looking at Chen Chuyang's back. In that instant, what she saw was not Chen Chuyang, but a true hegemon.

"Gurgle." She choked back a sob; Grandmother Long Zetian difficultly choked back a sob, her heart shaken, she said: "His strength has actually reached such a level; even the strongest of our Azure Dragon Clan cannot compare to him."

At this moment, Long Zetian finally realized that Chen Chuyang's strength had reached a point she could not imagine, reaching such a terrifying realm, far surpassing her imagination; the problems Long Zetian had worried about vanished without a trace as Chen Chuyang's strength erupted partially.

When strength is insufficient, one needs to be ruthless—kill if one should kill, leaving no loopholes and not storing up trouble for oneself; but then, when strength is sufficient, one does not worry about these problems—all problems are not problems.

Chen Chuyang's strength had become so great that the problems he saw were naturally not problems but trivial matters; moreover, he had sealed the skies above Longshe Shan, so no one knew what happened here—this is his confidence and the source of his self-assurance.

This whole world is under his control; where would there be any need to worry about these problems?

"I overthought it, I underestimated Chen Chuyang's strength; Long Ming has produced a monster—this kid is truly a monster. In such a short time, he has already advanced to this step; if we let him go to Tianwai, perhaps..."

"It's a pity that the Azure Dragon Clan has already been destroyed; otherwise, no matter what, Grandmother Long Zetian would definitely take him to Tianwai to join the Azure Dragon Clan, even if she had to give everything, to let him obtain the resources he deserves."

"This kid, even staying in this world, can be so monstrous; if he went to Tianwai, wouldn't he be even more monstrous?"

Thinking this through, Grandmother Long Zetian fell silent, blaming herself for not being strong enough, blaming the Azure Dragon Clan for not being strong enough, delaying Chen Chuyang; if she gave him sufficient resources to cultivate, then Chen Chuyang might become even more monstrous, and by then, those so-called geniuses, so-called heaven's favorites, would all be stepped on by Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang came to Hongxue's side, looking at Shang Hongxue who was in the midst of comprehension, his brows tightly locked; Shang Hongchen hurried forward to report: "My lord, Hongxue has always been like this; no matter how I call her, it's useless."

Shang Hongchen briefly described the scene; after Chen Chuyang heard it, he stood aside, took no action, did not disturb Hongxue's comprehension, entering this state—not like an epiphany, it was an epiphany from the start, but now it's not like that.

Moreover, Shang Hongxue's body was also undergoing transformation, seeming to break through the seal and enter the Third Layer Cultivation.

The previous suppression now seemed about to break; this was the first time she had exerted herself so strongly, breaking through her body's seal to let herself break through the Third Layer Cultivation, the power within her body too terrifying, which Chen Chuyang felt.

He waved his hand, the Formation sealed the surroundings, not allowing others to disturb or approach.

Shang Hongchen was very worried, asking: "My lord, is Hongxue alright?"

"It's fine." Chen Chuyang turned back with a smile, comforting: "You needn't worry; Hongxue has nothing wrong, no need to worry too much about her."

"Hmm."

Shang Hongchen still couldn't put her mind at ease, staring at Shang Hongxue inside the Formation, unable to approach; she involuntarily drew near Chen Chuyang, linking arms with him, and whispered softly: "My lord, Hongxue won't come to harm, will she?"

"No."

Chen Chuyang shook his head; Shang Hongxue's situation is rather special—is it a breakthrough, or a bodily transformation?

The Third Layer Cultivation has always been a matter of vigilance; Heishanyang had previously warned Chen Chuyang, and over these years he has kept watch on Shang Hongxue, fearing she would break through.

Unexpectedly, even with the seal in place, it could not be stopped; this time the Hunyuan Bell Advancement Holy Artifact seemed to break some of her body's seals, allowing her Cultivation to begin transforming, and once this transformation starts, it cannot be halted.

Grandmother Long Zetian walked over, lowering her voice to say: "Chuyang, Hongxue's situation is very special; at first I thought it was an epiphany and didn't pay much attention, but her condition has lasted too long—it's not an epiphany but some kind of transformation; is her body going to transform?"

Shang Hongxue's physique is very special; Long Zetian has always known this.

"If the Cultivation transforms into the Third Layer, unexpected things will occur; our Azure Dragon Clan's records also mention Cultivation, though not many; this physique is extremely special, indeed a special kind among humans, just like your child's body, very special."

"The previous characteristics of such transformation are useless here."

"So, Chuyang, you must keep an eye on her; you must not let Hongxue come to harm."

The Third Layer Cultivation often signifies change and also danger; Shang Hongxue, such a good woman, has indeed received Long Zetian's approval, whereas Shang Hongchen is not approved—Long Zetian does not think highly of her, yet Shang Hongxue is so proud and confident.

Conversely, Shang Hongxue has none of that; she is very humble, her conduct toward people and things cannot be faulted, and she is very respectful toward this grandmother.

"I know." Chen Chuyang stared at Shang Hongxue, his Spiritual Sense enveloping her, recording every point of her bodily changes.

Long Zetian said no more; at such a time, it's still best not to disturb him.

Shang Hongchen released her grip, knowing that at such a time she must not act rashly; she began to take over Shang Hongxue's duties, and the mountain returned to peace.

Chen Chuyang walked into the Formation, sat beside Shang Hongxue, staring at her body without blinking.

Long Zetian stood outside, continually watching the situation inside.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The world fell into tranquility, everything seemed as if nothing had happened, and no news leaked out from outside.

Chen Clan, Chen Yuan gazed at Longshe Shan and said to Long Ming beside him: "Madam, what do you say happened on Longshe Shan? Will Chuyang come to harm?"

Long Ming shook his head: "I don't know, but I can be certain that Chuyang came to no harm; forget it, I'll still go up the mountain—I don't want to just not look, I'm uneasy, I'll leave the household to you."

"All right." Chen Yuan needed to hold down the Chen Clan; well, now the Chen Clan is held down by the eldest son Chen Chusheng, so he doesn't need to hold it down.

Chen Chusheng's strength surpassed his, he took control of the Chen Clan, and Chen Yuan naturally was happy to relinquish that power—how nice to be free and easy, without having to worry about this, worry about that; Chen Shen and Chen Chen also had no objections, the two of them did not want to take over the Chen Clan, there being too many matters to handle.

"Madam, let me go with you." Chen Yuan thought it over and still decided to follow; staying behind would be of no use.

"Very well." Long Ming thought it over, nodded, gesturing for Chen Yuan to follow, and the two set off together toward Longshe Shan.
