Chapter 173: Third Uncle, don't kneel, the ground is cool

Buzz buzz.

Immortal music twined about, the whole Longshe Shan was shaken by this movement.

The huge disturbance was still about to spread; Chen Chuyang made a swift decision, opened all formations, then summoned the Hunyuan Bell, the enlarged Hunyuan Bell covered their location, devouring all the disturbance.

With the Hunyuan Bell's suppression, Longshe Shan finally calmed down.

Those who saw this scene were all stunned.

Zhang Nongqian and Liu Yuer looked at the Hunyuan Bell that covered them, immensely huge, as huge as a mountain; its inner walls were carved with various patterns—countless sword qi, filling skies with lightning, surging waves, and terrifying demon beasts roaring to the heavens.

Those images kept appearing, one after another, making people lose themselves in them.

Mom, did you see that?

Hmm.

Liu Yuer stared dumbfounded at the Hunyuan Bell; her body couldn't move, having originally been tormented once by Third Uncle Chen Shen and then experienced such a great disturbance—the immortal music made her body go soft, and she involuntarily felt respect.

Zhang Nongqian looked toward the Alchemy Furnace; she wanted to go up and look, but her body wouldn't obey, she stood rooted, unable to lift her feet no matter how hard she tried.

Hongxue sis, how is she?

Unable to go up, she could only stand there worrying.

On the other side, Chen Chusheng was the same, sitting on the ground looking at the Alchemy Furnace, occasionally raising his head to look at the Hunyuan Bell; that aura, that terrifying suppression, left him unable to move—his true qi, blood vessels, and body were suppressed, even his soul could not move.

Throughout his body, only his thoughts could move; he knew his younger brother had acted to suppress, the intertwining immortal music and the fluctuation left him very shocked.

Hongxue sis, what's wrong with her? Why cause such a huge disturbance?

Entering the Alchemy Furnace for smelting wouldn't cause such a disturbance, unless…

Hongxue sis's body is very special; has she awakened?

Such a disturbance, such an eruption, this aura made him unable to look directly.

Only a legendary special physique could achieve this.

His younger brother has been helping her train her body these years; he must have known this long ago, so…

Thinking of this, Chen Chusheng couldn't help but blurt out two words: cultivate, cultivate a wife, cultivate a genius wife?

The key is that he was cultivated by his younger brother, having poured in so many materials and energy, finally about to succeed.

My younger brother, he's too…

When did he start scheming?

Chen Chusheng felt this younger brother was beastly, really; Hongxue sis, so young, was already targeted by him.

In the fish pond, the little carp lifted its head and gulped down the immortal music.

Those little eyes stared at the Alchemy Furnace, showing a hint of longing.

That human girl is so scary.

The master is also very scary.

The Hunyuan Bell in the heavens suppressed her so she couldn't breathe, nor cultivate.

She could only float to the water surface to watch Shang Hongxue inside the Alchemy Furnace.

To say who felt it most deeply, it was none other than Third Uncle Chen Shen; he discovered he couldn't move.

Whether it was the Hunyuan Bell's suppression or Shang Hongxue's awe-inspiring pressure, in any case he couldn't move.

Staring dumbfounded at the Alchemy Furnace before him, wondering if Shang Hongxue inside was about to erupt.

But this eruption is just too powerful, right?

It's scary enough to kill someone.

Hongxue, what's this?

His mouth slowly opened, Third Uncle stared at the Alchemy Furnace, and that Alchemy Furnace began to rotate.

Flames burned, speeding up this process.

Chen Chuyang kept making hand seals, speeding up the Alchemy Furnace's operation.

Rotating.

Give me a rush.

He took out a bottle of Wild Dragon Snake blood, poured it in, speeding up the process.

Having taken this step, it was also time for him to act.

Chen Chuyang could not… just stand by and do nothing.

Buzz.

With the help of Wild Dragon Snake blood and Chen Chuyang's assistance, Shang Hongxue's body broke through even faster.

That layer of seal, starting from a small crack, quickly collapsed halfway.

The seal collapsed swiftly.

The shattered seal revealed what was inside.

The wrapped heart changed color.

A golden light appeared; within the red, gold emerged.

With Chen Chuyang's true qi input, the first layer of seal shattered completely.

Shang Hongxue's aura erupted fully.

Even stronger, even more terrifying.

Third Uncle's body involuntarily knelt down; he didn't want to kneel, but that aura was too strong.

His body uncontrollably knelt down on its own.

The elder brothers down the mountain were the same, each thudding down to kneel.

All of Longshe Shan, only Chen Chuyang stood; even the little carp lay prone at the bottom of the water, unable to… breathe.

Fortunately, this aura came quickly and disappeared just as fast.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished.

The Alchemy Furnace stopped turning, and inside it, Shang Hongxue began to control herself.

A layer of the Cultivation seal was broken; this layer had consumed a lot of Chen Chuyang's materials and much time, finally taking this step—no easy feat.

The research, breakthrough, and final push of the seal used the blood of the Wild Dragon Snake and various spiritual herbs; just this investment alone is something no sect could afford.

The aura faded, and the Alchemy Furnace moved toward stability.

Shang Hongxue, this girl, hasn't awakened yet and needs a moment; her body also broke through. Chen Chuyang scanned with his Spiritual Sense and found no issues—from now on, this girl counts as a genius.

Unfortunately, there are still other seals inside her body; the heart's seal had only just had its first layer undone, and a second layer emerged.

We need to re‑research; the second layer of the seal is more terrifying, more profound, and requires even more time.

Shang Hongxue's body is basically stable now and won't have that situation again; Chen Chuyang let out a sigh of relief.

He stopped sending true qi and slowly released his hand.

He lowered his head, saw Third Uncle kneeling on the ground, and Chen Chuyang mocked: "Third Uncle, why did you kneel? The ground is cold; if you get frostbite, that wouldn't be good."

He had no intention of helping Third Uncle up.

Chen Chuyang happened to walk in front of Third Uncle, earning him a glare.

Chen Shen lifted his head and snarled: "Chuyang kid, hurry up and pull me up—Third Uncle's knees have no strength."

Chen Chuyang laughed as he pulled him up; the joke had gone far enough.

Third Uncle stumbled up, his whole body limp and weak.

That pressure vanished, but the Primordial Chaos Bell still hung in the sky.

"Ahaha, I forgot—Third Uncle, wait a moment."

Chen Chuyang gestured, the Primordial Chaos Bell turned, and a terrifying pressure descended once again.

"Plop."

Third Uncle, who had just stood up, knelt down without any warning.

His knees hit the ground, and then he flung himself fully to the earth.

"Cough cough cough, I slipped, made a mistake—Third Uncle, you won't blame me, will you?"

Saying that, he put away the Primordial Chaos Bell.

He lowered his head, gazing with a smirk at Third Uncle lying on the ground, looking even more miserable than before.

That maneuver was truly heaven‑defying.

Third Uncle rose, said nothing, and drew his thirty‑meter‑long great saber.

"Kid, stand still—I won't hack you to death today; I share your surname."

"Third Uncle, you already share my surname."

Third Uncle: "……"

Right, they share the same surname.

"Stand still—I'll hack you to death, you bastard."

"Hahaha."
