Chapter 207

"Chuyang brother, you're also too heartless, right? Chen Qinger sister's body has just recovered, and you're making her work—can she bear it?"

"How could it not be possible? Of course it can. Don't underestimate Chen Qinger sister; she's not as fragile as you think."

"I'm doing this for her own good; she hasn't even had time to thank me—how could she blame me?"

"Besides, little girl, you're supposed to be tending the spiritual herbs—why did you come up here?"

"Shang Hongxue saw Chen Qinger going to work, sneaked up, sat beside Chen Chuyang, her little head leaning on his shoulder, happily enjoying this warmth."

"This is their world of just the two of them, with no one else to disturb."

"Those people are well-behaved, each doing their own thing; no one is oblivious enough to come disturb them at this time."

"Chen Chuyang held Shang Hongxue's small hand—it was tender and white, her skin smooth and delicate, a bit better than his own skin."

"After her transformation, the little girl's body was already like white jade, very beautiful."

"After checking her condition, there was no problem, and there was no need to throw her into the Alchemy Furnace for smelting."

"After the girl's body had the first seal lifted, her condition kept improving, and she no longer felt that earlier weakness."

""Hehehe, I missed you, so I came up to find you.""

"Shang Hongxue felt Chen Chuyang's warmth and heartbeat, and she softly said, 'There are quite a few people on Longshe Shan now; will more come later?'"

""I don't know; I can't answer that either." Chen Chuyang shook his head: "Maybe someone will come up the mountain, or maybe it'll stay like this—what's wrong? Do you feel they're getting in our way?""

"Shang Hongxue blushed and nodded; before, it was just the two of them on Longshe Shan—how nice that was."

"Too many people is also not good."

"It's not that she dislikes them; she just really wants to be with Chen Chuyang—just the two of them, so they can do anything they want."

"Chen Chuyang held her hand, naturally understanding her thoughts—this girl is truly adorable."

""Recently Longshe Cheng has been in constant turmoil; they've come up the mountain to avoid it for a while, and will go back down later.""

""And you—just endure a bit.""

"Shang Hongxue nodded: "Mm.""

"As for what came next, Shang Hongxue didn't ask; she just kept leaning there."

""Shang Yue has also been here for a few days—should we?""

""His body hasn't met the requirements yet, so he can't enter the Alchemy Furnace; even a medicinal bath wouldn't help much.""

"Chen Chuyang said: "Wait a bit longer—they haven't finished digesting the Camel Peak Demon General's flesh and blood; once they do, we can prepare to refine once.""

""Chuyang brother, you're the best.""

""Just this?""

""……""

"Shang Hongxue blushed, kissed Chen Chuyang's cheek, then got up and left."

"Chen Chuyang's hand froze in mid‑air—this girl really runs fast."

"He shook his head, Chen Chuyang glanced at Longshe Shan—the spiritual energy there had become much richer."

"Longshe Shan's spiritual veins were also accelerating their transformation."

"Chen Chuyang took out a jade slip and began to comprehend the Five Elements Sword Technique; this sword art hadn't been studied seriously yet—Five Elements, Five Elements Sword Technique, the corresponding sword arts—he began to sink into the jade slip, analyzing the sword art, grasping the Sword Dao."

"The Five Elements Sword Dao is five kinds of sword dao, different sword dao, each understood singly."

"For example, Fire Sword Dao studies sword dao from the fire attribute, blending flame sword techniques, fire law—Chen Chuyang is no stranger to it, he's quite familiar."

"Pill Fire burns, drawing from fire law and incorporating sword technique."

"In his mind, he began sword practice, merging fire law; when the two became one, that was the moment Fire Sword Dao formed."

"Next came Water Sword Dao; water law merged, and with the earlier fire law fusion, the water law fusion became even faster."

"In the same way, using the same method, after merging, Water‑Fire Sword Dao came into being."

"The two stand opposed, each restraining the other—water and fire are incompatible."

"Then Metal Sword Dao—metal attribute is also familiar; in all kinds of weapons there is metal, and the sword itself inherently possesses metal."

"Once fused, it's easier than water‑fire."

"After metal comes wood."

"After that comes earth."

"Among the Five Elements there is no set order; instead, according to Chen Chuyang's understanding of the Five Elements, he began his comprehension."

"He's had plenty of contact with the earth attribute, but he hasn't gained a deep understanding of it."

"So Earth Sword Dao is actually the slowest to grasp—he has to start from scratch."

A bit of comprehension.

With the foundation of the sword way from before, the earth sword way actually posed no difficulty.

Grasping the Five Elements Sword Way took nearly five days.

After gaining comprehension, Chen Chuyang began to dance.

The sword dance swayed, each move and form all embodying the Five Elements.

The Five Elements evolved and transformed.

Chen Chuyang's sword dance attracted Chen Qinger's attention; she and Shang Hongxue saw it immediately, the two stood in place, staring, unable to help but be stunned.

"Five Elements Sword Technique, Five Elements Sword Way, did Chuyang brother comprehend the Five Elements Sword Technique?"

How little money, Chuyang brother has already comprehended the sword way, rather than merely practicing sword.

The first step of the Five Elements Sword Technique is to enter the door; afterward, it is to condense the sword way; the path of the sword way itself is difficult.

Only by condensing sword intent can one be considered to have entered the gate of the sword way.

Before them, Chuyang brother's body was filled with Five Elements Sword Intent.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth—five elements, five sword intents, mutually balanced, not interfering, not affecting each other.

"Five Elements Sword Intent, Chuyang brother has truly comprehended it; has he already reached this stage?"

Chen Qinger exclaimed in shock.

Such a thing is indeed shocking, too unbelievable.

"Five Elements Sword Intent, ah, that is a sword intent only a Five Elements True Person can comprehend; no, even a Five Elements True Person does not have the terrifying sword intent that Chuyang brother has comprehended right now."

At a glance, she felt herself immersed in the Five Elements, and the various sword intents changed her.

Her eyes, unable to look away.

The sword dance continued, the sword intent spreading.

The sky, too, was affected.

Around, it seemed as if scenes of the Five Elements' evolution appeared.

Shocking, frightening, beautiful.

The dancing Chen Chuyang, continually in contemplation, each movement of his body deepened his understanding.

……

North of Longshe Cheng, inside a forest, a woman ran wildly.

Behind her, dark clouds filled the sky.

A expanse of black, it came crushing forward; in just a few breaths, it enveloped the entire mountain forest.

Jing Yuheng looked back, her soul nearly scared out of her.

"To catch up so quickly, damn it."

"No, we can't go south; we must head east."

"I can't let it catch me, that damned monster."

Jing Yuheng sped up, and that mass of dark clouds continued to press forward.

Within the dark clouds, it seemed a terrifying monster lurked.

A terrifying face coalesced in the sky, staring at Jing Yuheng.

"Wuu wuu wuu."

The howling sound was like a ghost's wail, piercing and unpleasant.

Jing Yuheng's body trembled slightly, her soul flickered for a moment, and the next second she immediately regained her clarity.

Her tongue, bitten through.

Fresh blood, staining her lips red.

"The demonic wind howls."

"Soul-seizing, spirit-stealing."

"I must not be deluded."

Jing Yuheng ran forward without looking back.

Running all the way, she could not stop.

She knew that if she stopped, death awaited her.
