Chapter 1677: My Wife, No One Can Take Her Away

Ten Li Fragrant Fairy was anxious; she had finally found a Cultivation body, and it was a third‑level Cultivation body. Such a Cultivation body is extremely important—for the Flying Immortal Sect, the importance of a Cultivation body surpasses everything. The Flying Immortal Sect has searched for Cultivation bodies for how many years? Every generation searches, yet the results have been minimal.

Even if a Cultivation body is found, those Cultivation bodies cannot advance to the second level, let alone the third level; the limitation of Cultivation bodies is simply too strong. Even with the Flying Immortal Sect's help, it is difficult to let a Cultivation body safely reach the third level.

Advancing a first‑level Cultivation body to a second‑level Cultivation body requires breaking formations and seals; this demands strong willpower and vast resources, but those are secondary. The most important factor is luck—if luck is bad, it explodes outright, wasting the accumulated resources.

The Flying Immortal Sect has wasted how many opportunities? Finding a Cultivation body is not easy, and cultivating one is not easy either; so far they have failed to cultivate a single Cultivation body. Their luck is truly poor. Although the Flying Immortal Sect clearly has a way to break the Cultivation body's limitation, they cannot guarantee against accidents.

The evolution of a Cultivation body is often accompanied by serious accidents, which they cannot control. Moreover, after so many generations, the Flying Immortal Sect has lost some of its secret arts and counter‑measures, leaving them incomplete—this is also why they frequently fail.

Afterward, finding a Cultivation body became even harder; in the past thousand years they haven't found a single one. One can imagine how bad the Flying Immortal Sect's luck has become. Ten Li Fragrant Fairy is one of those seeking a Cultivation body—for the sake of a Cultivation body she has truly worried herself sick, her cultivation has been restrained, and she hasn't made progress in a long time.

The Cultivation body became her obsession, a nightmare; without finding a Cultivation body she could not break the nightmare. After great difficulty she found a wild Cultivation body that had advanced to the third level—what happiness that was for her.

She could not simply leave; without taking the Cultivation body, she would feel she had betrayed years of searching.

How could she leave just because Chen Chuyang said a word?

"Fellow cultivator, a Cultivation body is extremely important; leaving her in this world would be wasting her talent—her innate gifts and body cannot be simply squandered."

"Let me take her; I guarantee I will allocate most of the resources to her and strive to make her a regional hegemon."

"The Flying Immortal Sect has searched for Cultivation bodies for so many years; we could never mistreat her. I dare not say anything else—if she follows me back to the Flying Immortal Sect, her status will at least be Holy Maiden, and if she can advance further, even the Sect Leader's position is not out of the question."

"Fellow cultivator, think it over—keeping her by your side is only harming her. No matter how this world is, it cannot compare to Tianwai, nor to the place where the Flying Immortal Sect resides."

The Central Lands are the heart of Tianwai, where heaven and earth's spiritual energy is rich, resources are abundant, and the territory is both the largest and the wealthiest.

It is a place countless sects and powers wish to station in, but unfortunately the Central Lands do not welcome the weak; many other forces want to enter yet cannot, simply because they lack strength.

Although the Flying Immortal Sect is not the hegemon of the Central Lands, it is still one of the factions there—far stronger than the so‑called Heavenly Heart Sect and Corpse Refining Sect, not something they can trifle with, and it is fully capable of cultivating Shang Hongxue.

Other sects might scatter resources or seek balance, but the Flying Immortal Sect is different; they have a mad obsession with Cultivation bodies that cannot be swayed by words.

Moreover, a third‑level Cultivation body basically won't encounter problems; cultivating one could let the Flying Immortal Sect rise another step, perhaps even revive its former glory.

"No." Chen Chuyang shook his head and refused outright.

No matter how eloquently she spoke, Chen Chuyang could never agree.

Shang Hongxue is his wife; he could not allow her to leave, let alone let her go to Tianwai on an adventure. The Flying Immortal Sect is an unknown faction—he does not know what lies within it, nor what their true aim is, merely to seek and cultivate Cultivation bodies? Is that even possible?

He may not understand the Flying Immortal Sect, but he understands human nature—no one would do something meaningless.

The Flying Immortal Sect's frantic search for Cultivation bodies surely hides no conspiracy—impossible.

Shang Hongxue leaving his side would be tantamount to walking into danger; the Flying Immortal Sect is not a good place but rather a pit.

Heishanyang and Grandmother Long Zetian have both warned him to beware of the Flying Immortal Sect and to keep Hongxue from being exposed.

Nowadays, it cannot be restrained, so it is naturally impossible for Ten Li Fragrant Fairy to take her away.

Shang Hongxue linked arms with Chen Chuyang, unwilling to leave him; that is her stance—as long as her husband does not let her go, she cannot leave Chen Chuyang.

Ten Li Fragrant Fairy anxiously said, "Fellow cultivator, you may not think for yourself, but think for her—our Flying Immortal Sect harbors no ill will; do not misunderstand."

"If she follows me back to the Flying Immortal Sect, I will protect her completely, take her as my disciple, and then devote all efforts to cultivating her, guaranteeing she will suffer no harm."

"Fellow cultivator, this place is too small and barren, unsuitable for her cultivation; forcing her to stay by your side is not helping her—it is harming her."

"She ought to have a bright future; what you're doing isn't harming her, is it?"

Ten Li Fragrant Fairy saw that Chen Chuyang was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, couldn't make sense of it, grew angry, yet could not act.

She could only look at Shang Hongxue and say, "Little girl, come with me; I'll show you the outside world, so you'll know how vast and wonderful it is—remaining here, you'll forever be a frog in a well."

"Tianwai is vast; once you go there, I guarantee you'll be shocked."

"How about it, little girl—are you willing to go with me?"

He reached out, inviting Shang Hongxue.

Ten Li Fragrant Fairy well knows that people are drawn to strength; having personally invited her, there are few in this world who could refuse her, nor could they withstand the temptation.

After all, Tianwai is the place they yearn for; no cultivator would be unwilling to become stronger.

Tianwai is the proper place for cultivation, whereas the Central Lands are simply the most suitable place for cultivation—there is no alternative.

The Flying Immortal Sect may not be the strongest, but it is far from weak; sending just anyone could topple this world.

This is the gap, this is the difference.

In her eyes, this world amounts to nothing; the Flying Immortal Sect looks down on this land.

"No." Shang Hongxue shook her head firmly: "I do not want to leave my husband; I wish to stay always by his side."
