Chapter 765: Mixed Origin Dao Scripture – Late Stage of the Fourth Layer

"Just average, can't compare to a true genius," Chen Chuyang modestly replied.

The people around stared at him with strange eyes, one or two at a time as if looking at a monster.

Silence.

After a moment, Heishanyang sneered, "Kid, you must be secretly delighted. I have to admit your talent is indeed strong—only a little behind my past self. If you work a bit harder, you could probably surpass me."

Chen Chuyang: "......"

Shang Hongxue: "......"

Chen Qinger: "......"

Zhuge Gui blinked, staring blankly at Heishanyang; his eyes seemed to say, "Are you kidding? With your talent, how could you compare to that monster Chen Chuyang, and you're even a bit worse—where's your face?"

Heishanyang also noticed the others' gazes, coughed, "Fine, I admit Chen Chuyang's talent is a tiny bit better than mine."

He lifted his forelimb, showing a small nail cap—just that little bit more, and he wouldn't admit it.

"Tch."

"Hehe."

"Giggling."

The others sneered coldly, utterly disdainful.

Their gazes toward Heishanyang were full of mockery, and Chen Chuyang was amused.

"Heishanyang, you're truly narcissistic; with that little talent you still want to compare with me—are you worthy?"

Heishanyang lifted his head, puffed his chest, and said, "Kid, you don't understand. Back then I was so glorious, so powerful—let me put it this way, even in Tianwai my talent was countable."

"How many geniuses can only watch my silhouette; they never even get a chance to see my true face."

"In this world, only a handful are worthy of my attention; they are all the prodigies of major sects and families."

"You, kid, being noticed by me is an honor; you should be glad."

"Hehe." Chen Chuyang chuckled and snorted.

Heishanyang is such a braggart; how did I not notice this before?

Shang Hongxue teased, "If you're so powerful, why were you sealed in this world?"

"Why did you end up in this situation?"

"Could it be that you did this on purpose? Came to this world to experience life?"

Chen Qinger added, "Sister-in-law, you might be right; perhaps it came to experience life, to taste some hardship."

The two exchanged a glance, their smiles never fading.

Heishanyang's face turned black.

Though it was already black.

Chen Chuyang watched the two; he hadn't expected them to be so in sync—once they team up, Heishanyang would have no chance against them.

Not far away, Tianlian Zhenren and Shang Hongchen stared curiously, eavesdropping; they were eager to know what was happening here.

Inside the Pill Refining Hall, Xiao Qianer continuously refined pills, untouched by the outside world.

Down the mountain, Liu Yuer and the others dared not show up; the matters atop the mountain didn't concern them, they just needed to mind their own business.

"Kid, everything I say is true." Heishanyang couldn't get past Shang Hongxue and the others, so he could only trouble Chen Chuyang.

"I know, I'm not saying I don't believe." Chen Chuyang spread his hands and said with a grin.

From that expression, one could tell he didn't truly believe.

Heishanyang: "......"

His face turned completely black, showing no expression.

"We also believe, right, sister Qinger?"

Shang Hongxue turned back, smiled at Chen Qinger, who smiled and nodded, "Yes, I definitely believe you, senior Heishanyang."

The word 'senior' was emphasized, a deliberate reminder.

Heishanyang's mouth twitched; these two women were endless.

"Cough cough cough, never mind, I won't compare with you."

Heishanyang didn't want to deal with the two; it was just too... infuriating.

Only women and petty people are hard to raise.

"Kid, your cultivation seems to have changed as well."

Heishanyang suddenly lifted his head, sensing something off.

Chen Chuyang's body broke through, masking the aura of his cultivation.

It was different, unlike the aura before entering, very different.

Could this kid have broken through again?

Breaking through twice at once—how long has it been?

Chen Chuyang's consecutive breakthroughs—this is truly defying the heavens! How long since his last breakthrough? Another one, his strength must be unfathomable.

Heishanyang circled Chen Chuyang once, 100% certain.

"Kid, you definitely broke through; your aura is different, strange. The scent on you grows more fragrant, very attractive to me."

"You clearly have a human bloodline, which shouldn't be an issue, yet a human bloodline can't attract me."

Heishanyang, puzzled, voiced his doubt.

Chen Chuyang smiled, said nothing, just stared at Heishanyang.

He thought inwardly, "This Heishanyang truly is extraordinary; I concealed myself, merged with the surrounding world, no distinction, yet it sensed me—how odd."

"A bodily breakthrough is hard to hide; Heishanyang's keen sense makes detection normal. Yet my cultivation breakthrough is subtle, I suppressed my cultivation, identical to before, no difference—why can it still see it?"

"The Taotie clan truly are celestial beasts, their bloodlines are extraordinary."

Chen Chuyang underestimated these heaven-and-earth strange beasts; their abilities are not small.

The black goat's body is worth studying; Chen Chuyang's Dripping Blood Rebirth divine ability needs the black goat to sacrifice itself—perfect. We can study it thoroughly and perhaps discover how it can sniff out one's cultivation; once we master it, wouldn't that be great?

In this world, no one can conceal themselves.

The black goat stepped back two paces, always feeling that Chen Chuyang harbored ill intent toward it.

That look was not friendly; the black goat warned, "Kid, don't mess around—I'm strong now, I'm not afraid of you."

"Hehehe."

Chen Chuyang pressed his hand, smiling narrowly at the black goat; in his eyes, the black goat was now a specimen, a test subject, available for research at any time.

His body broke through, his cultivation broke through, the Hunyuan Dao Scripture directly entered the late stage of the fourth layer; it had taken Chen Chuyang a long time and many resources to achieve that breakthrough, and to break through again might require a period of time.

The fifth layer of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture is not so easy to break through; Chen Chuyang felt that pressure from heaven and earth, but it wasn't strong.

He restrained his aura, thereby avoiding attracting heaven and earth's attention.

If he breaks through again, heaven and earth will likely notice him.

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you; earlier you promised me you'd let me study you for a while—you're not going to back out, are you?"

Hearing that, the black goat lamented, inwardly wanting to deny it, but seeing Chen Chuyang's eyes, it knew it could not escape.

Whether it admits it or not, it cannot escape.

"Kid, I said that before, but you can't act recklessly."

"I only agreed to let you study me a bit, not to dissect me."

There is a difference between the two.

The former is merely research—remember, research and assistance only; if danger arises, the black goat can refuse.

The latter involves no resistance, cannot be refused, and life and death are not under one's control.
