Chapter 1672: Hongxue's Peculiarity

On Longshe Shan.

Long Ming and another came up the mountain, saw Grandmother Long Zetian; the two performed salutes, asking Grandmother what had happened on the mountain. Only then did Grandmother Long Zetian understand where Chen Chuyang's confidence lay. If they didn't know, others would know even less.

Among the people nearby at the foot of the mountain, Long Ming was the strongest and most perceptive; even she couldn't know, which shows that others didn't know what happened on Longshe Shan. The stone in her heart was set down, but she didn't tell the two about what happened on Longshe Shan.

Instead, she told them about Hongxue's condition; Long Ming learned that Shang Hongxue's body had undergone an anomaly, and was shocked.

"Grandma, is that girl Hongxue alright? Won't something happen to her?" Long Ming grabbed Grandma's arm and shook it.

Long Zetian shook her head: "I don't know either; I'm not clear either. It depends on how your son handles it."

Anomaly, however, is very dangerous; if it succeeds, it's somewhat better, possibly bringing great benefits, possibly bad news—good and bad are relative; most anomalies are not good, and will have some effect on oneself…

If severe, one collapses directly during the anomaly and explodes.

There are many cases of body and dao perishing; Long Zetian dare not guarantee it. Shang Hongxue's Cultivation is extremely special, unpredictable; past experience doesn't apply, so we can only see how they handle it.

If Chen Chuyang takes action, there should be no problem; if even he can't resolve it, then it'll be troublesome.

"Grandma, why don't you also enter the Formation to help? Chuyang alone might not be able to suppress it; with you, there should be no problem." Long Ming worried.

Long Zetian lowered her head and smiled: "Don't worry, your son's strength is great—greater than mine, Grandma. If he can't handle something, naturally I can't either."

"Huh?" Long Ming blinked, somewhat disbelieving; she gazed at Grandma before her. In her heart, Grandma is very powerful and wouldn't say such a thing; once she said it, it showed Grandma's words were true.

"Grandma, is Chuyang really that formidable?" Long Ming wasn't doubting Grandma, but such a thing seems unlikely—how old is the son? Even if he's a monstrous prodigy, he couldn't reach this level. Although Grandma said she isn't a bloodline genius of the Azure Dragon Clan, she's still beyond human comparison.

The Azure Dragon Clan's talent—even the worst among them is stronger than most human geniuses; even Grandma said she's inferior to Chen Chuyang. Just how strong is this son of mine? Long Ming knows Chen Chuyang is strong, but lacks a concrete measure.

"He's even stronger than you imagine; your son is truly a monstrous prodigy. Grandma, I've seen countless talents, none comparable to him."

"Long Ming, you've borne a fine son."

Long Zetian sighed again: "This good son is truly heaven-defying, overturning all her notions."

"Hiss." Long Ming drew a sharp breath, gazing at Grandma before her; she truly hadn't expected that, in Grandma's heart, the son could receive such high praise—knowing that in Grandma's heart, nobody is taken seriously, especially humans; even those human Strong Ones aren't acknowledged by her.

Chen Yuan beside them said nothing, not daring to, unable to; he still feared Long Zetian, after all having deceived Long Ming away and… done some wrongs; that Grandma didn't punish him was already fortunate.

Hu Yueer was right on Longshe Shan; they were doing well, the two children were also very good; Chen Yuan felt relieved, Grandma didn't intervene, indicating they were safe.

His son's strength also gave him, as a father, considerable face; being able to gain Grandma's recognition and praise amounted to the father being praised.

"Grandma, are we just going to wait like this?" Long Ming looked at the Formation, feeling uneasy.

"What else could we do? Don't act recklessly, don't disturb the two of them." Long Zetian turned her head, warning Long Ming not to act recklessly.

Long Ming didn't dare act recklessly, standing beside Grandma; Chen Yuan dared even less.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On Longshe Shan, several people stared at the Formation, worried.

Unable to enter, not knowing the specific situation inside, they were very worried—especially Long Ming, very worried; most of the time she stared at the Formation, even when playing with her grandsons and granddaughters, she kept her gaze this way, constantly observing Hongxue and Chuyang's condition.

That morning, there was movement inside the Formation; it trembled slightly, and heavenly-earthly spiritual qi entered the Formation along with it.

A vortex appeared above Longshe Shan; all spiritual qi was stirred up, making cultivation impossible.

Everyone hurried to the outside of the Formation to wait, watching the situation inside; the heavenly-earthly spiritual qi was in chaos, indicating that something major had happened inside.

Inside the Formation, Chen Chuyang rose, went behind Shang Hongxue, reached out, placed his hand on her back, began helping her suppress all anomalies, so she could smoothly complete her metamorphosis—the metamorphosis of the third stage of Cultivation, which was very strange.

With his palm pressed there, a burst of power erupted from within Shang Hongxue's body, trying to drive him away; Chen Chuyang remained unmoved, absorbed that power, which after being transmuted by the Hunyuan Body became his own energy—this power was immense, not the sort Shang Hongxue ought to possess.

"This power?"

Chen Chuyang knew that Hongxue's body harbored a terrifying power; when this power erupted, it would severely affect her body—previously it had been suppressed and wouldn't erupt, but now, during metamorphosis, it… erupted together.

"Hmph, just trying to drive me away—nothing that easy."

Chen Chuyang infused his true qi into Shang Hongxue's body, locating the source of that power—it came from the position of her heart; Chen Chuyang immediately began seeking the source, permeating into her heart, yet found no source.

Hiding—would that help?

Chen Chuyang burst forth a stronger true qi, directly permeating her five viscera and six bowels, as well as her dantian.

When Cultivation erupts, it requires a great amount of heavenly-earthly spiritual qi; the spiritual qi of Longshe Shan was drawn over, yet had not entered Shang Hongxue's body—Chen Chuyang had isolated it, intending to draw away his heavenly-earthly spiritual qi, but he hadn't been asked.

"Metamorphosis? Third stage of Cultivation?"

"Hehehe, wanting to complete metamorphosis—how could that be easy?"

Chen Chuyang began sealing, not allowing breakthrough.

Having already broken through halfway in Cultivation, at this step he was forcibly stopped—this step was deliberately done by Chen Chuyang.

He stared at Shang Hongxue's interior, knowing his wife's body had an anomaly; this metamorphosis, this breakthrough, was not her subjective opinion but stemmed from some internal abnormality.

Chen Chuyang needed to locate the anomaly within; without eliminating what existed inside, Chen Chuyang would not rest easy, nor would he let Hongxue take risks.

Shang Hongxue is his beloved, also his reverse scale; nobody may touch her, nobody may act against her.
