Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 137 The Countdown to the Destruction of the Lu, Zhou, and Wu Families! Moon Soul Azure Dragon, Setting Off for Green Leaf!
Mo Yunzi chuckled strangely, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed straightforward. Once the Lu and Wu families submit, won't this entire territory be nothing more than fish on our chopping block?"

Several days later, Jiulong Lake.

As dusk settled, the lake was dyed a deep indigo blue.

Lingxian Pavilion in the center of the lake is adorned with thirty-six glass lanterns, whose light is reflected on the water's surface, shattering into countless golden scales.

Zhou Libo stood on the zigzag bridge outside the pavilion, watching the two flying boats slowly approaching from afar.

On the black and white jade boat of the Lu family in Crane Immortal Ridge, Lu Zhengting stood with his hands behind his back. His blue Taoist robe fluttered in the evening wind. The young cultivator next to him was Lu Yuanzhi, another Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Lu family. The jade pendant at his waist was engraved with the character "Yuan".

On the bronze boat of the Wu family at Jinshi Cliff, Wu Yiqian stood prominently at the bow. He had successfully advanced to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and his spiritual pressure was overwhelming, a far cry from what it had been a few months ago.

"The Zhou family's Daoist temple is quite impressive." Lu Zhengting stepped onto the boat, his gaze sweeping over the spirit fish swimming on the lake. "It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhou's injuries have greatly healed."

Zhou Libo cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Lu! I have basically recovered."

Wu Yiqian also laughed and said, "I heard that the 'Nine-Turn Spirit Fish Soup' of Jiulong Lake requires red-scaled fish that have been raised in the lake for ten years as a base. Today I am finally fortunate enough to taste it."

Zhou Libo smiled and raised his hand: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is too kind! A little bit of verbal sparring is nothing to mention. I haven't yet congratulated Fellow Daoist Wu on his successful advancement, I'm ashamed."

With a flick of his sleeve, four Zhou family maids filed in carrying gilded food boxes. Inside, a spirit fish was still jumping, with pale blue liquid seeping from its gills.

That's a secret dew made with the dragon's saliva from the Nine Dragons Locking the River Formation, which makes the spirit fish taste even fresher and more chewy.

The air inside the pavilion was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, and three round jade tables had already been set up.

Zhou Libo personally poured the spirit fish soup for the three of them, saying, "This soup must be drunk while it's hot to lock in the essence of the spirit."

Lu Yuanzhi, young and vigorous, was the first to pick up the jade bowl and drink it all in one gulp, letting out a satisfied sigh.

Lu Zhengting gently blew on the cool air and savored the flavor of the soup.
Wu Yiqian stared at the fish meat floating in the bowl, not touching it for a long time.

"Does Fellow Daoist Wu find my spirit fish not fresh enough?" Zhou Libo's gaze turned slightly cold.

Wu Yiqian roughly wiped his face: "No, it's just that I was thinking of my good-for-nothing nephew, he really loves your fish..."

Zhou Libo then calmed himself down and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Wu, do not be sad. Now that you have advanced to the mid-stage, your supernatural powers have greatly increased. One day you will be able to avenge your nephew Songde."

Three days later, inside the Hidden Dragon Cave in Jiulong Mountain.

In the past few days, Zhou Libo has used every means to incubate the Soul-Devouring Worms in the seas of consciousness of these three people, and finally managed to keep them all here. Now it is finally time to reveal the true colors.

Zhou Libo looked at the three people sitting cross-legged on the futon. Lu Zhengting's forehead was covered in cold sweat, Lu Yuanzhi was using wood-type magic to suppress the abnormal movement in his body, and Wu Yiqian was irritably pounding the stone wall, while metal-type magic condensed into a sharp sword light in his palm.

"Zhou Libo! How dare you poison the soup?" Wu Yiqian roared as he stood up, but suddenly stumbled and knelt down.

Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, the tiny soul-devouring worm was slowly gnawing along the meridians of his soul, each bite causing him excruciating headaches.

Mo Yunzi's black robe emerged from the shadows, and with a flick of his finger, three beams of black light shot into the brows of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Please do not be angry. This is a second-tier Soul-Devouring Insect from my Soul-Devouring Hall, and it is now connected to your souls."

The black light swiftly suppressed the Soul-Devouring Insects deep within the consciousness of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, plunging them into silence.

"If you dare to resist, the soul worm will awaken, and your soul and body will be destroyed. Don't blame me then."

Lu Zhengting's face turned deathly pale, but he forced himself to ask, "What exactly do you want?"

“It’s very simple.” Mo Yunzi chuckled sinisterly. “From today onwards, the Lu and Wu families, like the Zhou family, will be at our beck and call. When the Demon Alliance army rises up, all you need to do is stir up trouble in the rear of Li Kingdom.”

He turned to Wu Yiqian, "Fellow Daoists have personally experienced the taste of the Soul Insects, so I'm sure you won't disappoint us, will you?"

Wu Yiqian clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his eyes were full of resentment as he looked at Zhou Libo.

The excruciating pain from the Soul-Devouring Worms gnawing at his soul in his sea of ​​consciousness was so intense that even though he was already in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he was powerless to resist: "We... will obey your command."

They weren't stupid. Unless the Demon Alliance could slaughter all five major immortal sects of Li Kingdom, their meddling would only lead to their own demise sooner or later.

But the situation is beyond our control right now, so we can only agree for now and then discuss it further.

........................

Inside the study of Lakeview Residence.

Chen Qian was concentrating on his writing, his wrist turning slightly. Under the control of his soul, he steadily output magic power through the talisman brush, outlining the spiritual patterns of the Flying Feather Technique on a high-quality talisman paper.

As he finished writing, the talisman paper flashed with spiritual light, before slowly fading away a moment later.

First-grade superior talisman, Flying Feather Talisman, complete!
Chen Qian slowly exhaled, and Ji Xue, who was beside him, quickly took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped away the barely noticeable fine sweat from his forehead.

Feng Momo's voluptuous body leaned closer; despite being six months pregnant, her figure remained graceful.

"My dear husband, this talisman is so full of spiritual energy!" she exclaimed, picking up the talisman and examining it from head to toe.

"Not bad, this is a high-grade flying feather talisman." Chen Qian put down the talisman brush and moved his wrists, which had been exerting force for a long time, slightly.

He then skillfully wrapped his arms around his wife's waist and said gently, "This talisman pen is too low-level. This time I'll go to Qingye Mountain and see if I can find a top-tier first-level one."

This talisman pen was bought from the Hundred Storage Pavilion more than half a year ago; it's only a mid-grade first-level talisman.

It's quite difficult to draw a first-tier high-grade talisman with it now.

If it weren't for his powerful spiritual sense, it would have been truly difficult to successfully draw the picture.

After all, he didn't specialize in talismanic arts, only practiced it occasionally, and he hadn't studied the Flying Feather Technique very thoroughly.

It was only through the super boost of spiritual power that they were able to ultimately succeed.

This also resulted in him spending a lot of energy and time on drawing.

Therefore, upgrading the talisman pen is very necessary. This is relatively easy to achieve and can effectively reduce the difficulty of drawing high-quality talismans.

Having reached the eighth level of Qi Refining several days ago, Chen Qian has completely stabilized his cultivation level.

When Chen Yunxi gave birth, her older sister Yunyi was not in Fenglin Valley. In their daily interactions, Yunyi often expressed her longing for her.

Chen Qian understood his wife's thoughts well, and feeling restless, he decided to make a trip to Aobayama Market.

One option is to stroll through the market, buy some rare items, and perhaps attend some small auctions.

Another reason is to invite Chen Yunyi back to stay for a few days so that she can reunite with her wife.

There was one more thing he didn't say: he also missed her a little.

So these past few days, he hasn't focused much on cultivation, but rather on organizing his belongings and drawing some additional talismans.

Magical artifacts, talismans, and elixirs are all forms of hard currency. They can be easily used as spirit stones to exchange for other items during transactions.

He now has over ten thousand spirit stones, plus a considerable number of magical artifacts, talismans, and pills to sell, which is enough to buy many urgently needed items.

For example, there are no spiritual herb seeds available, or various first-tier spiritual materials. Second-tier materials are too expensive to collect, but first-tier materials are generally not a problem.

Today is a special day. As soon as night fell, Chen Qian brought all the women into the Primordial Destiny Wheel Realm.

He gathered the women at Xuanzhu Villa to celebrate the first anniversary of his cultivation of immortality.

Yes, a year ago today was the day he was struck by that bolt of lightning.

From that moment on, a new chapter in her life began.

A lavish family banquet was held at Xuanzhu Villa. There were no outsiders present, nor was it necessary for them to be; the atmosphere was warm and welcoming enough.

Witnessed by his wife Chen Yunxi and Feng Momo, and amidst the blessings of his four maids…

And amidst the gentle trembling of Xiaoyin's soul fire, the soft chirping of Jindou, and the joyful squeaking of Xuetuan...

Chen Qian officially took Su Jin, Qing Man, and Zi Yao as his concubines. From now on, these women would no longer be maids, and Xiao Yi'an would have to call them aunts.

Chen Qian took Su Jin's hand and put a jade bracelet on her wrist: "Su Jin, you have worked hard these days refining pills. From now on, you don't need to refer to yourself as a servant anymore."

Su Jin was moved to tears, speechless with emotion. She could only hold her husband's hand tightly and shake her head to indicate that she was not tired.

Chen Qian turned around again and put the same jade bracelet on Qingman and Ziyao's wrists. "You two can have the same bracelet. From now on, you can call me your husband."

Qingman and Ziyao smiled at each other, tears welling up in their eyes as well.

Xiao Yi'an was held in Chen Yunxi's arms. She lovingly hugged her son and said, "From now on, you'll have to call me Auntie."

The little one blinked his innocent eyes and repeated in a childish voice, "One...one brew!"

This drew giggles from the women nearby, which eased the slightly sad yet warm atmosphere.

Chen Qian also did not forget his two wives, and personally put a string of crystal pendants on each of them.

These pendants and jade bracelets are no ordinary items; they were meticulously crafted by Chen Qian using top-tier first-order materials, Moonstone and Chiwen Jade.

Over the past few months, through self-study and occasional consultations with his father-in-law Chen Hongming, he has also mastered some basic techniques of weapon crafting.

Although he can't forge high-grade magical artifacts, who is he? He's a man supported by an entire world!
He refined the moonstone into the Moon Soul Jade Pendant and the Chiwen Jade into the Azure Dragon Entwined Branch Bracelet, which he presented as standard jewelry to his wife and concubine respectively.

During the crafting process, the only requirements were exquisite craftsmanship and high-quality materials. A small amount of the Primordial Life Wheel Realm's essence was consumed to imbue the jewelry with a natural magic array.

These pieces of jewelry can instantly activate a protective shield with the power of the early stage of the second tier when the owner is attacked.

In normal times, it will play a role in gathering spiritual energy and calming the mind, and can accelerate the cultivation speed slightly.

It is very practical and suitable for women to wear.

Once Chen Qian's weapon-refining skills improve further, or his level in the Destiny Wheel Realm is upgraded, the power of these ornaments can be enhanced once more.

At this moment, Chen Qian has been cultivating immortality for a year, turned nineteen years old, and has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining and the top level of the first stage of Body Refining. He has two wives, three concubines, four maids, and one ghost slave.

........................

Several days later, Chen Qian saw that everything was ready, so he bid farewell to his wife, Su Jin, and four maids, and boarded the Xuanxiao Flying Boat, leaving Fenglin Valley.

Momo is estimated to be more than a month away from giving birth. It only takes him a few days to travel between Qingye Mountain and Fenglin Valley. He will definitely be able to get back before the child is born.

After advancing to the third level, Momo has slowed down her cultivation.

After all, the baby is about to be born, so this period should focus on nurturing the fetus and it's not appropriate to spend too much time on other things.

Su Jin is in the same situation; she has successfully advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refining, surpassing all the women of Lakeview Residence.

After the breakthrough, she began to focus on resting and preparing for childbirth, slowing down her cultivation in terms of realm and instead studying more about alchemy and weapon crafting.

After merging with the Xuanhuang Qi, Su Jin seemed to have gained a cheat code, possessing extraordinary comprehension.

The art of alchemy and weapon crafting is so refined that it is as if divinely aided.

As for Qingman and Ziyao, they have also advanced to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. This time, they were still taken into the Primordial Life Wheel Realm by Chen Qian.

The selection of Dao soldiers is about to begin, and they are indeed indispensable. Moreover, the two women can cultivate quickly within the Realm of Destiny.

Otherwise, if their cultivation level is too low, it will greatly hinder their control over Dao soldiers.

Xuanxiao flew thousands of feet in the sky. The sky was clear and cloudless. The earth beneath his feet stretched to the horizon like a painting, a vast and magnificent scene.

Seeing that the weather was so nice, Chen Qian also invited Qingman and Ziyao out, and they enjoyed the beautiful scenery together on the flying shuttle, chatting and laughing happily.

When a Qi Refining stage cultivator uses a flying magical artifact, the altitude they can fly generally does not exceed three thousand feet.

The major repairs during the Foundation Establishment stage take place in the flight domain of the sky, which is between five thousand and eight thousand feet.

Above ten thousand feet lies the Gale Layer, where only those who break through to the Core Formation Realm can freely enter and exit.

It is said that above 100,000 zhang is the Flowing Fire Layer, which is the domain of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

In the world of cultivation, level restrictions are everywhere. Even something as simple as flying with a magical artifact is clearly defined and strictly differentiated.

The phoenix does not live with sparrows, and the dragon ignores the ants beneath its feet.

This is because anyone who wants to disregard rules and hierarchy needs to have real strength as a backing.

A Qi Refining cultivator wants to become sworn brothers with a Core Formation cultivator?
If the other party only needs to take you to the gale layer and fly a few miles, you will be completely destroyed, leaving no trace. Under such circumstances, how can you make friends on an equal footing?

At Xuanxiao's speed, it would take two days to reach Qingye Mountain.

Flying at night, the trail light is too conspicuous, so when it's time to spend the night, it needs to find a place to rest.

Qingman and Ziyao accompanied Chen Qian on the shuttle for several hours. Since they were pregnant, Chen Qian let them go back to Xuanzhu Villa to rest.

Although the two women were somewhat reluctant to leave, they wanted to stay by their husband's side and keep him company.

But since her husband had already given his orders, the two women obediently followed them and were sent into the Wheel of Fate by Chen Qian.

Several more hours passed. Even with the help of spirit stones and the continuous operation of the shuttle and input of magic power, even someone as powerful as Chen Qian felt a bit tired.

With the journey more than halfway complete and nightfall approaching, Chen Qian slowed Xuanxiao's pace, preparing to find a secluded place to rest, conceal himself, and then enter the Realm of Destiny to spend the night.

When traveling, it's best to be cautious.

Who knows if there are any powerful individuals who can survey the surrounding area from hundreds or thousands of miles away and happen to see him enter the Wheel of Fate?
If the door is blocked, even if you don't die, you will never be able to escape.

Therefore, Chen Qian can only enter and leave the Realm of Fate Wheel after he has made sufficient efforts to conceal himself.

If you've done all the work but it's still discovered, then it's just bad luck, and you can't blame yourself. Just be true to yourself.
