Chapter 977: Mixed Primordial Bell Ascension, Opening a Small World Within

"Qi Ruohua sister, you finally came; I thought you didn't have time to come to Longshe Shan."

Shang Hongxue ran into Qi Ruohua, or rather, was waiting for her here.

Naturally she teased a bit, and Qi Ruohua said graciously, "Hongxue sister, this is your son, how cute."

"Haoyang didn't come with you?"

Qi Haoyang, Qi Ruohua's son and Chen Qinglian's older brother, is someone Shang Hongxue naturally knows and wants to see.

After becoming a mother, things change; many words revolve around the child, and Qi Ruohua is the same—reaching out to hold Chen Qinglian, constantly teasing Qinglian, and bringing him a welcome gift; Shang Hongxue also doesn't take anything for free and prepared a welcome gift for Haoyang.

The two women gathered together, chatting and laughing, discussing the child's matters as well as all sorts of other issues.

Long Ming naturally noticed Qi Ruohua's arrival; she stood at a distance, watching Hongxue and Qi Ruohua chat together, not as enemies but like friends, which surprised her greatly.

Shang Hongxue's breadth is truly great; at this moment she finally understands why the third elder said Hongxue the girl has a great scope and a broad heart, and Long Ming also knows why her son chose Hongxue—such a wife, which man wouldn't want?

For that reason, the son definitely made the right choice; if Shang Hongchen were the official wife, there would be no place for other women.

Long Zetian appeared beside her granddaughter; it was her first time seeing Qi Ruohua, and she whispered, "Granddaughter, who is this woman?"

Qi Ruohua and Chen Chuyang's matters naturally cannot be hidden from her; she is very curious about her identity.

An outside woman, yet she spent so many days in the room with that boy; Hongxue acted as if she hadn't seen it, and Shang Hongchen also ignored it—this situation feels off.

"Who else could it be? Another wife of Chuyang, she is the emperor of this world's dynasty and also the mother of Chuyang's eldest son."

"Qinglian is Chuyang's second son; the eldest son was born to Qi Ruohua."

Long Zetian blinked, then exclaimed in shock, "So this boy, besides the Hongxue sisters, has other women?"

"Indeed."

"She gave Chuyang a son?"

"Mm."

"Did she bring him?"

"No."

Long Zetian let out a sound of curiosity, also wanting to see Chen Chuyang's eldest son, to judge his talent and whether he inherited the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline.

With more wives, children increase, so the next generation grows, and the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline will also be inherited.

Even though it combines with humans, this is still bloodline propagation.

Long Zetian no longer cares about this; her granddaughter's bloodline is naturally the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline.

"Hongxue can actually accommodate her existence and has a good relationship with her."

Although such matters are common within the Azure Dragon Clan, having several women for progeny is perfectly normal.

A Strong One is always accompanied by some women.

Many women cannot survive without relying on a Strong One.

The world is that cruel; Chen Chuyang is so powerful that having several women around him is normal.

She was only shocked for a moment and did not find it unacceptable.

"Hongxue, she is different."

"Indeed, those who can reach this point are not simple."

Long Zetian praised, "That Chuyang boy married a good woman."

"Granddaughter."

Long Ming lifted her head, "Grandmother, what's wrong?"

"Your eldest son should also be arranged several marriages, so he can quickly produce offspring, striving for several Azure Dragon Bloodline descendants, continuing our Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline."

"Chuyang already has several wives, and Chusheng here must not be left behind."

"Eh?" Long Ming looked at her grandmother in surprise, eyes flickering.

Long Zetian urged, "It would be best to resolve everything within a year; with the Chen Clan's current strength, many families are likely to agree to marriage alliances with him."

"Find a few good women, preferably similar to Hongxue, with good status or other qualities; no need to be too picky."

"As long as they can bear offspring, they are all acceptable."

Long Ming was both amused and exasperated, not expecting her grandmother to be even more anxious.

"Grandmother, isn't this bad? My eldest son does not wish to marry so early."

"Parents' command and matchmaker's words, Long Ming, you are his mother; his marriage is up to you. When will it be his turn to decide?" Long Zetian, arms crossed, said seriously, "If he has any objections, have him come to me. This old body hasn't moved in a while; I'm willing to act for him."

"Eh?" Long Ming immediately said, "Grandmother, don't act rashly; such a small matter doesn't require your involvement, let the granddaughter handle it."

Long Zetian nodded approvingly, "Long Ming, remember, the propagation of the Azure Dragon Clan is a top priority; all other matters must yield to it."

"Grandmother has no choice; the Azure Dragon Clan now only has you and me. Grandmother cannot stand by and watch the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline end here. Our responsibilities are heavy; Grandmother cannot demand you keep bearing children, only ask them to work harder."

"Long Ming, can you understand Grandmother?"

Long Ming nodded, "Grandmother, I will speed up to have Chusheng marry."

"Very well."

Long Zetian was very satisfied; regarding her granddaughter's efficiency, she still... trusts her.

Inside the room.

Chen Chuyang activated the Formation; as for how to handle matters between Qi Ruohua and Hongxue, both Hongxue and Qi Ruohua know how to deal with it.

Both are clever people, naturally knowing how to get along.

In this regard, Chen Chuyang is very reassured; Hongxue's girl won't bully anyone, Qi Ruohua won't be bullied either, and she certainly won't bully others; the two together are like sisters, so Chen Chuyang need not worry about it.

If it were Hongchen, he might worry a bit.

"They get along well; I am also reassured."

Then Chen Chuyang took out the Mixed Primordial Bell; this bell devoured many good things, resulting in a great transformation.

After digesting all the materials, Chen Chuyang began another sacrificial refinement of the Mixed Primordial Bell.

The top-grade Spiritual Artifact Hunyuan Bell has a rich foundation; it is impossible for it to advance again in a short time.

Chen Chuyang brought out the Azure Dragon bones and scales, as well as some leftover good things, and also the good things he had obtained from Misty Cloud Mountain; these were all good things from Tianwai, all used to sacrifice-refine the Hunyuan Bell.

The Hunyuan Bell is Chen Chuyang's life-bound weapon, of utmost importance.

As the Hunyuan Bell advances, it signifies that Chen Chuyang's strength also rises together.

「Smelting. 」

The forging begins again.

This time, it is not about forging a brand-new spiritual artifact, but rather sacrifice-refining his own Hunyuan Bell.

Strengthening the foundation of the Hunyuan Bell, preparing for its future advancement to a holy artifact.

Various materials were poured in, along with many ores—all precious ores from Tianwai—all of which Chen Chuyang threw in; how could he be reluctant?

One's own weapon naturally must be forged into the strongest.
