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

Chapter 151 Breaking Through Foundation Establishment! Eight Miles of Spiritual Clouds, Spiritual Foundation!
Hundreds of miles southwest of Mount Aoba, there is an area where swamps and forests are mixed together, called the Misty Great Swamp.

It covers a vast area with complex terrain, teeming with first-order demonic beasts and also producing many low-order spiritual items.

This place has sustained many independent cultivators from Aobayama Market, but it has also devoured countless lives.

There are many small peaks on the western edge of the Misty Swamp. The mountains are not high, the spiritual veins are thin, the demonic beasts are relatively few, and there are not many cultivators coming and going.

Moreover, this place is rich in several kinds of poisonous insects, and poisonous plants and spores are not uncommon. There are also many places in the mountains where poisonous miasma drifts. Such an environment makes many cultivators hesitate to come here.

But at this moment, a number of cultivators gathered on the hillside of one of the unnamed hills, seemingly brewing some kind of action.

Especially in the very center of these cultivators, there were seven powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators whose auras were overwhelming!
Such a scene in a place teeming with poisonous creatures is undeniably eerie.

"The auction at Qingye Mountain will be held in two or three days. There is not much time left, so please, Fellow Daoist Wu and Junior Brother Li, go to Qingye Mountain first and wait for the right opportunity!"

The man in the black robe in the center spoke, his tone sinister and unsettling, like snakes crawling on one's skin.

A man in black robes on one side nodded in agreement, while a square-faced Foundation Establishment cultivator on the other side looked troubled and somewhat unwilling.

"Hehe~ What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Wu? Are you in a dilemma?"

The man in the black robe in the center frowned and said sarcastically.

If Chen Qian were here, he would immediately recognize that this "Fellow Daoist Wu" is none other than Wu Yiqian, the patriarch of the Wu family of Jinshiya, who has just advanced to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, the identities of these people are self-evident.

Wu Yiqian smiled wryly and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but we've been dealing with the Chen, Zhao, and Qian families for many years. They know me very well, and if they find out, it will ruin Fellow Daoist Mo's plans."

Wu Yiqian was naturally unwilling. Once he entered the range of the Qingye Mountain formation, if he was discovered in advance and attacked by a group of enemies, it would definitely be a scene of near death.

Even though, according to intelligence, Chen Ruiang, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, was not present, the second-tier superior-grade formation "Rock-Suppressing Mountain Formation" was a defensive formation that was best at suppressing enemies.

If he were targeted by the great formation, his combat power would be reduced by 70%, and he would still be no match for Qian Rushan, who was at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

"You don't need to worry about that!"

The black-robed Mo Yunzi smiled coldly:

“My Soul Devouring Hall’s sacred insects can alter your soul aura. Coupled with concealment techniques and disguise, as long as we don’t make a move, this mere Foundation Establishment family’s methods won’t be able to detect you.”

"Once the five of us lead the attack from the outside, they will be too busy to defend themselves and will naturally be unable to use the great formation to suppress you."

"If you launch a surprise attack at this time, it will be absolutely foolproof."

Lu Zhengting and Zhou Libo, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement. They had no objection to not having to risk infiltrating the area.

Lu Zhengting is a veteran mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and is to serve as the main force for attack from the outside. Lu Yuanzhi and Zhou Libo are only at the early Foundation Establishment stage and are not strong enough. Therefore, the task of infiltrating can only fall to Wu Yiqian.

Wu Yiqian was filled with resentment and glared fiercely at Zhou Libo.

If this scoundrel hadn't aided and abetted the evildoers, plotting against the Wu and Lu families, how could he have ended up in such a tragic state?!

At this moment, their lives and fortunes were in the hands of the demonic cultivator Mo Yunzi and his companions. Unable to resist, they had no choice but to obey orders.

Left with no other choice, he could only discuss the details with Mo Yunzi and the others before setting off with the Soul Devouring Hall cultivator surnamed Li towards Qingye Mountain.

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

Chen Qian returned to the Chen family cave with the two men. He pondered for a long time but didn't say anything for the time being.

Although the innate divine soul keenly sensed some danger, it did not discover any obvious danger, and without any evidence, it could not say anything.

Xiao Yin was about to emerge from seclusion, and Chen Qian, intending to stay by her side, told Chen Yunyi that he would be in seclusion for a few days and would emerge on the day of the auction.

Chen Yunyi naturally had no objection.

Chen Qian then bid farewell to his sister-in-law and returned to his room.

After closing the door, Chen Qian took out the newly purchased top-tier first-order illusion array, the Flowing Firefly Illusion Array, and set it up. He then summoned Snowball to guard the room before entering the Wheel of Fate.

Xue Tuan is his spirit pet. Even though they are separated by two realms, the spatial anchor point of the Destiny Wheel Realm is in this room, which is very close. If needed, Xue Tuan can also contact him through the soul contract.

Upon entering, Chen Qian first went to Xuanzhu Villa and discovered that Qingman and Ziyao were also in seclusion.

Chen Qian sensed them and discovered that they were all breaking through the fifth level of Qi Refining.

During this period, Chen Qian supplied them with a large amount of Qi-nourishing pills, and often practiced cultivation techniques with them, guiding their practice, which made both women progress rapidly.

Because they had been cultivating within the Wheel of Fate, essentially making one day count as three, the two women unknowingly reached the day of their breakthrough again.

After this breakthrough, they also need to slow down their cultivation pace, because their bellies are gradually getting bigger.

For female cultivators, childbirth will definitely cause a certain physical deficiency. If their cultivation level is unstable, childbirth will cause a regression in their cultivation level.

Therefore, the focus during the mid-to-late stages of pregnancy should be on conditioning the body and consolidating the foundation, rather than on vigorous and intense exercise.

The two women's cultivation went smoothly, so Chen Qian naturally didn't want to disturb them. He simply turned around and left, heading to Taiji Peak.

Taiji Peak.

A vortex of spiritual clouds, about eight miles in circumference, covered the entire area around Taiji Peak, like a swirling nebula.

This breakthrough has highlighted Xiaoyin's extraordinary talent.

According to the records in "The Foundation and the Dojo", when a cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment realm, the grade of the Foundation can be initially judged based on the accumulated spiritual cloud.

A flawed Dao foundation cannot exceed one li, a complete Dao foundation cannot exceed three li, and even a flawless Dao foundation cannot exceed five li.

Xiao Yin's spiritual cloud vortex, which covered an area of ​​eight miles in radius, must have a foundational grade above flawless!

Beside the tree trunk of the small Tai Chi symbol, Xiao Yin, who was sitting cross-legged, was completely enveloped in spiritual energy, like a giant cocoon of light, and her figure was almost invisible to the naked eye.

However, Chen Qian was not a mortal. Even without using the power of the Lord of the World, he could see through Xiao Yin's entire body with his divine eye technique alone.

At this moment, Xiao Yin's soul body was filled with spiritual energy and divine light, and an incomparably magnificent Dao foundation had been erected, emitting mysterious and unpredictable fluctuations.

This was the first time Chen Qian had truly observed a cultivator's foundation in Dao, and he was somewhat dazzled and mesmerized.

The base of this structure is slightly larger at the bottom and narrows slightly at the top, forming a cylindrical shape. It is crystal clear and perfectly integrated, without any gaps.

Around the base, four square pillars are closely attached to the base wall, echoing each other and subtly presenting a wondrous formation.

At this moment, Xiao Yin's soul, like a ball of light that had grown arms and legs, was engraving magical runes on the foundation wall.

Clearly, Xiaoyin has indeed laid a spiritual foundation, and her breakthrough process is progressing smoothly and is nearing its end.

A spiritual foundation is essential for achieving true enlightenment!

Xiao Yin's rise to fame was meteoric!
As a soul cultivator, after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, Xiao Yin's soul evolved into four poles, and its spiritual strength was comparable to that of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, her disadvantages are also obvious. Since she has no physical body, her magic power and vital essence are weak, making her relatively weak in sustained combat.

However, despite being a ghost slave, she can perfectly complement Chen Qian.

In battle, she can disrupt the enemy's mind, interrupt their spellcasting, and slow down their control of magical artifacts, clearing obstacles for Chen Qian's attacks.

Chen Qian carefully examined Xiao Yin's Dao foundation and discovered that she had already inscribed the spiritual patterns of the three secret techniques in the Profound Yin Condensing Soul Scripture.

These are: Profound Yin Soul Shield, Shadowy Three Yin Flash, and Divine Soul Chain. At this moment, she is inscribing the spirit runes of the fourth spell, which looks like a flame and is very complex and mysterious. Chen Qian cannot tell what the spell is.

One can only sense that this technique is extremely powerful, possessing both the extreme cold of Yin-type magic and the violent speed of fire-type magic.

It's estimated that this was a new supernatural power she comprehended after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

During the process of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, whether it is moving soul power liquid bricks or imprinting spirit patterns, it will consume a great deal of spiritual energy.

Although Xiao Yin had accumulated a very deep foundation and was a soul cultivator with an exceptionally powerful soul, she originally could not have achieved such a perfect level.

But the conditions for her advancement were just too good!

Leaving aside the four perfectly suited resources Chen Qian prepared for her, the help that Little Tai Chi provided alone was enough to guarantee her easy advancement.

The small Tai Chi could perfectly blend with her aura, adding the Yin and Yang domain to her and providing her with a continuous source of spiritual energy, which nourished her soul with minimal consumption.

Therefore, she was able to establish a spiritual foundation.

Of course, the other resources are also a good fit, especially the Taiyin Mingya, which is probably closely related to her newly comprehended supernatural power.

Seeing that he no longer needed any help, Chen Qian felt relieved and returned to Taichu Peak to meditate and cultivate.

It is estimated that Xiaoyin will be able to complete the engraving of the fourth spell rune in another day or two, and then slowly finish her work to complete the breakthrough.

Throughout the entire Wheel of Fate, Jin Dou was asleep, while everyone else was quietly cultivating.

Apart from the carefree little creatures, the scene was peaceful and serene.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Qian sensed something and slowly exited his meditative state.

Even for someone like him, after reaching the late stage of Qi Refining, it would take at least several months to advance to each level.

Because refining spiritual energy and transforming magical power requires not only accumulation, but also continuous compression and refinement, which cannot be accomplished overnight and requires a lot of time.

He sensed that although Qingman and Ziyao had not yet emerged from seclusion, they had successfully broken through and were consolidating their realms.

Xiao Yin had finished imprinting the fourth magical rune and was slowly finishing her work.

He smiled slightly, his spirits lifted, and with one step he returned to Taiji Peak.

He's waiting for his first Tier 2 combatant to emerge, and he's not going anywhere else.

Several more days passed while they waited.

The auction is about to begin, and thankfully Xue Tuan hasn't contacted him yet.

The vortex of spiritual energy beside Xiaoyin had mostly dissipated, and almost all of it had been absorbed into her own body.

At this moment, her soul was like crystal, flawless, radiating a soft white light.

Outside the soul body was a thick layer of essence, like pale red crystal, shimmering with light.

The outermost layer is a layer of liquefied magic power as smooth as white porcelain, radiating the spiritual pressure unique to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

To the naked eye, she looked like a living young girl, with fair and rosy skin and a delicate and beautiful face.

As the spiritual energy around her dissipated, Xiao Yin slowly opened her eyes.

Those were a pair of eyes, black and white, sparkling like a vortex, as clear and flawless as the purest crystal.

At that moment, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a figure not far ahead, as elegant and extraordinary as a jade tree.

Chen Qian's figure.

Xiao Yin smiled, and at that moment she seemed to have aged a few years, looking like a charming and lovely young girl of sixteen or seventeen, with invincible youth.

Chen Qian's gentle gaze also fell upon her, and for a moment, the two smiled knowingly at each other.

With a wave of her hand, a top-tier, first-class female palace-style magic robe flew towards her.

"We don't have any magic robes or armor of the spirit weapon level for now, so we'll use these for the time being."

Chen Qian said with a smile.

"Okay." The girl was gentle and refined, without any of the sinister aura of a ghost general or the imposing presence comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator. She seemed to have transformed into the little sister next door.

"These two items are also for you to refine first."

Chen Qian then took out the Xuan Yin Shield and the Misty Banner, which he had obtained from Wang Jue Tian.

Chen Qian returned to his room in the cave, his heart still pounding with excitement.

Because Xiao Yin is just too strong after advancing.

After Xiao Yin emerged from seclusion, she immediately activated the Soul Chain, transmitting all her breakthrough experience and cultivation insights to Chen Qian.

The new technique she comprehended is called Xuanming Yin Fire, an extremely powerful Yin-type fire magic.

Although it is a flame, it is actually extremely cold.

If hit, it can freeze the physical body, magic power, and consciousness. Once the consciousness is unable to resist, it can burn the enemy's soul, causing irreversible damage.

It can be described as extremely cold, treacherous, and terrifying!
It can only be extinguished with divine sense; otherwise, it will be like a bone-deep infection that can only be extinguished by burning away the enemy's soul.

Although she had only just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage and her realm was not yet fully stable, this divine ability was enough to threaten late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and slightly contend with Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivators.

Before Chen Qian left the Life Wheel Realm, he had just sparred with Xiao Yin, and unsurprisingly, he was no match for her at all.

He hasn't advanced to the second stage of body refinement yet, so his methods in this area pose no threat to those in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, due to his innate divine soul, his spiritual strength is comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. He also possesses powerful cultivation techniques and secret arts, and some of his mana has liquefied. Therefore, he is very strong in terms of spells and supernatural abilities, enough to threaten a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, Xiao Yin was already a true Ghost General, and her speed far surpassed his.

Unless he stands still and lets her hit him, he can't touch Xiaoyin's clothes at all.

As the saying goes, in martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses.

If you have a weakness in speed, no matter how strong your attack power is, it's useless.

Chen Qian tidied up the formation, put the snowball back into the Life Wheel Realm, and after checking that nothing was missing, he went out.

Chen Yunyi was already waiting for him. When she saw Chen Qian, she looked him up and down with her beautiful eyes, and nodded with a smile, saying, "It seems that your cultivation has improved again."

Seeing that no one else was around, Chen Qian quickly moved closer, grabbed the beauty's soft hand, and smiled, "It's been a few days, have you missed me, sister?"

"..."

Chen Yunyi blushed and lightly slapped Chen Qian without saying a word. This kid is getting more and more audacious.

"Haha~"

Chen Qian's mood immediately improved after a few flirty remarks, and the two left the cave together.
