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

Chapter 154 The Barrier-Breaking Talisman! Shen Qianxue, Lin Wanshuang!
Aside from Wu Yiqian and the demonic cultivator surnamed Li who infiltrated the market, this Zhou family cultivator was the first to die since the start of the war between the two sides.

Although it caused a minor commotion, it was a large-scale battle involving hundreds of people, and the dead was just a minor figure, so it was quickly quelled.

The defensive formations in the cultivation world are incredibly magical. Those inside the formation can freely attack those outside, while attacks from those outside the formation are blocked by the light barrier.

Therefore, any forceful attack on a place protected by a formation must be carried out with overwhelming strength, otherwise, one will surely suffer heavy losses.

A thoughtful look appeared in Chen Qian's eyes. After whispering a few words to Chen Yunyi, he began to wander around the entire front line.

His intentions were self-evident.

With the second level of the Harmony with the World Technique, the Sky-Sweeping Step that is like teleportation, the powerful Boundary-Breaking Spear, and the divine sense power that far surpasses Mo Yunzi's after being empowered by Xiao Yin.

With such a huge advantage, as long as he is not detected at the moment of attack, apart from a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, no one outside the formation can escape his hunt.

Therefore, it's time to show our true strength.

Hunt time, start!
Chen Qian appeared and disappeared unpredictably on the front lines, constantly replicating the methods he used to hunt down Zhou family cultivators.

In just a quarter of an hour, he actually killed seven or eight cultivators outside the formation!
And no one noticed.

Even Mo Yunzi.

Even when he slowed down the frequency of his attacks and intensified his spiritual scanning.

It can only be said that Chen Qian's cheat code was too big. After Xiao Yin's divine sense connected with him, she had already reached the level of a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator.

This is enough for him to seize every opportunity to strike without being discovered by anyone.

Mo Yunzi had already noticed something was wrong. He was certain that it was the person who killed Wu Yiqian and Junior Brother Li who had made the move, and that this person's supernatural abilities were even greater than his own.

This made his face grow increasingly pale, yet he had no way to deal with it.

At this moment, Chen Hongjin also brought more than a hundred rogue cultivators to provide support.

They were all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

As expected, after the three families offered certain benefits, a steady stream of rogue cultivators signed up to participate in the defense, and a considerable number of people were quickly assembled.

After handing over all the early and mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators to the person guarding the main hall for arrangements, and having them participate in the rotation of spirit offerings, Chen Hongjin led the remaining late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to the light barrier to join the battle.

Now, the pressure on the entire defensive line is much less.

For a time, the offensive and defensive forces of both sides were almost evenly matched, entering a stalemate.

Seeing that many of his men had died, Mo Yunzi's morale was severely damaged, and the situation became quite unfavorable.

They simply suspended their attack, led their troops back several hundred feet, and rested.

Lu Zhengting, Lu Yuanzhi, and Zhou Libo gathered with Wu Yiran, the head of the Wu family, and remained silent for a while.

The situation suddenly seemed to turn very bad.

The Lu and Zhou families haven't suffered much loss yet, but now the three families are all in the same boat, and they can't extricate themselves from the situation.

Wu Yiran, however, was filled with hatred, and his emotions were almost uncontrollable.

He knew that his ancestor was controlled by this demonic sorcerer and had no choice but to obey his orders.

But now it seems that our ancestor is in grave danger.

He did not receive Mo Yunzi's telepathic message and was unaware that Wu Yiqian was actually dead.

Mo Yunzi took a deep breath and pondered, "Gentlemen, our operation has suffered a setback, but we cannot return empty-handed!"

"Rest for an hour, everyone, and get back to your best as soon as possible."

"Everyone, there's no need to worry. I have a top-tier second-order barrier-breaking talisman, which I thought would allow me to break the great formation without even using it."

"It seems we have no choice but to use it now. This treasure talisman is enough to break a large gap in the Green Leaf Mountain's grand formation."

"As long as we can get inside the formation, with our strength, taking over the market will be no problem!"

"The effects of the Boundary Stone will last for a whole day. To be on the safe side, we need to end the battle within half a day and then evacuate!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengting and the others were greatly encouraged. The biggest obstacle to them in this battle was the large formation of the market.

Although there are many people in Qingye Mountain, those rogue cultivators are nothing but opportunists, and their strength at the same level is not as good as that of the clan cultivators.

The Chen, Zhao, and Qian families, excluding the two early Foundation Establishment stage ancestors, only have a few dozen late Qi Refining stage cultivators.

They gathered all the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the three families, plus more than ten cultivators from the Soul Devouring Hall, totaling nearly two hundred people, all of whom were elites.

As long as we're not passively taking hits from outside the battle lines, our chances of winning are much higher.

Even if Qingye Mountain likely has another Foundation Establishment cultivator secretly present, they can still easily handle a five-on-three situation.

Once the formation is broken and the Chen, Zhao, and Qian families, along with some troublesome rogue cultivators, are all killed, the entire Qingye Mountain will be like a beautiful woman stripped naked, at their mercy.

Thinking of this, a hint of madness appeared in their eyes.

The evil in human nature is innate.

Whether one does good or evil is just a matter of a single thought.

However, the essence of cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao lies in obtaining one's true nature.

Those who indulge their desires rarely meet a good end, except for a few inherently evil individuals.

This principle is difficult for most people to understand. Most of the people in the world are just petty and despicable individuals.

The edge of the inner palace of Aoba Mountain.

The happiest people after the demonic cultivators retreated were none other than the rogue cultivators.

They've only made a few moves so far and haven't encountered any danger yet.

If things ended like this, they would have earned spirit stones and gained favors from the three major families—the ending couldn't be more perfect.

Qian Rushan, Zhao Xinhai, and Chen Hongjin gathered together to discuss the situation, while the other family members sat on the ground in twos and threes to recuperate.

Although they only defended for less than an hour, they gave it their all and were quite exhausted.

Only a few cultivators who had reached the peak of Qi Refining still had some energy left.

The most conspicuous one was Zhao Jinglan, who stood alone on a huge rock, looking like a wise man standing tall and majestic.

Those who don't know better might think he's some kind of Foundation Establishment Ancestor.

Occasionally, he would glance in Chen Yunyi's direction, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers seeking attention.

Unfortunately, Chen Yunyi only had eyes for Chen Qian and had no time to look at him, so she naturally couldn't sense his subtle gaze.

"Sister Yunyi, I think the demonic cultivators outside are still up to no good, and the battle situation may change again."

Chen Qian spoke gently to Chen Yunyi.

"Wait, don't stray too far from me."

"Yes. Don't worry, I have plenty of fighting experience." Chen Yunyi smiled and nodded. "I can take care of myself. But you..."

She was intelligent and perceptive, and although she couldn't see through Chen Qian's strength, she sensed that he must have relied on a lot of external forces to have such abilities.

After all, Chen Qian was just a minor cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he hadn't truly grown up yet.

"Don't push yourself too hard," Chen Yunyi said softly, her eyes filled with worry. "Don't make Yunxi worry."

"Don't worry. I never do anything I'm not sure I can do."

Chen Qian looked at Chen Yunyi, a mischievous smile creeping onto his lips: "Yunxi isn't here, so there's nothing to worry about. But... Sister Yunyi, are you worried about me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyi glanced at him, spat lightly, and stopped looking at Chen Qian.

That rascal is teasing her again.

"Haha~" Chen Qian didn't mind her not answering. This had become his daily routine with Chen Yunyi.

Whenever he saw this aloof older sister, her face flushed with a hint of anger and her emotions fluctuating, he felt particularly good.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that the demonic cultivators had done something to Qingye Mountain that made it impossible to send messages, so he tried taking out a communication talisman.

Sure enough, regardless of whether it was a first-order or second-order communication talisman, the stable fluctuations emanating from the talisman became completely still, almost like ordinary paper.

Chen Qian then communicated with the Wheel of Fate and quickly received feedback that there was indeed a subtle fluctuation in the void, but the Wheel of Fate could not determine the location of its source.

Chen Qian frowned, but he wasn't worried about himself.

However, if the great formation is broken, Chen Yunyi, Shi Hu and Shi Xiaoya, as well as so many low-level cultivators and mortals in the market, will be in great danger.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he took out two more Mystery Sensing Talismans.

One was given to me by Su Yueshang, and the other was obtained from Shen Qianxue, a true disciple of Cangfeng Pavilion.

Once he had the sensing talisman, Chen Qian felt relieved.

High-end goods are just different.

The communication function of these two sensing talismans is not affected and they can still be used.

He picked them up and carefully sensed each one. The one belonging to Su Yueshang had extremely weak fluctuations, probably because the distance between him and Su Yueshang was too great.

When the distance is too far, exceeding a certain threshold, the fluctuations will completely subside and the signal will be lost.

but……

Shen Qianxue's, however, showed a particularly clear fluctuation.

Clearly, this means that Shen Qianxue is not far from him now.

"Hehe~" Chen Qian was overjoyed.

These little devils are really unlucky!

Originally, Chen Qian thought that if things went wrong, he could only protect some of his close friends and family.

But now...

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

Thousands of miles away, on the banks of a misty marsh.

In the misty marshland, small white jade boats typically float on the shimmering waves.

A thin mist, like a veil, enveloped the vast swamp, and the air was filled with a unique aroma that mingled with the fresh scent of grass and trees and the fishy smell of water.

Inside the jade boat, two fairies with strikingly different appearances sat facing each other.

Wearing a plain white long dress with flowing cloud patterns, Shen Qianxue stood tall and straight, like a solitary peak in a cold pool, with a cool and aloof temperament.

She had consolidated her mid-Foundation Establishment realm, her sword aura was restrained and condensed, yet it faintly revealed a chilling sharpness.

It is like a peerless divine weapon hidden in a box, ready to cut through any obstacle at any time.

The girl opposite her was completely different, wearing an apricot-yellow robe embroidered with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, bright and lively, charming and lovely.

Especially her pair of bright, sparkling almond-shaped eyes, full of vitality.

She lazily rested her chin on her hand, watching with great interest the hazy mist in the swamp.

The girl is Shen Qianxue's good friend, Lin Wanshuang, the prodigy of the Beast Taming Sect.

Lin Wanshuang's cultivation was slightly inferior, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and she was still quite far from the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

But she exuded a harmonious aura that naturally connected her with all beasts.

Several brightly colored rainbow finches in the misty marshland were attracted by her scent and hopped and frolicked on her hair and shoulders.

"Sister Qianxue, look at that Misty Flower."

Lin Wanshuang spoke in a clear voice, pointing to a huge flower in the distance that was faintly visible in the mist and emitted a faint blue fluorescence.

According to the secret records, the Mist-Hidden Shark prefers to live under this flower and feeds on its nectar.

"Today happens to be the day of the rising moon tide, which is the time when these spirit sharks are most likely to appear and absorb the moon's essence."

"I brought Dragon's Fragrance with me, and paired it with the Cold Pool Mist Sprouts from this Misty Swamp. Using the fragrance as bait, maybe I can lure it out!"

As she spoke, she gently flicked a nearly invisible thread of incense from her fingertips, which then disappeared into the mist.

Shen Qianxue nodded slightly, her cool eyes also turning to the flower bushes with a hint of inquiry.

The Mist-Hidden Shark is an extremely rare aquatic demon beast. Its scales are top-grade materials for crafting concealment artifacts, while its essence blood is highly beneficial to cultivators who practice water-attribute techniques.

It is a treasure from head to toe, of extraordinary value.

Even for true disciples of their status, it was quite attractive.

"Wanshuang, your knowledge of spirit beasts is indeed extensive; you even came up with such a method."

Shen Qianxue's voice was clear and melodious, like a spring.

"The combination of Dragon Fragrance and Cold Pool Mist Sprout truly evokes the feeling of the moon rising, pure and ethereal, making it an excellent lure for the Mist-Hidden Shark."

She picked up the jade cup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and moved with elegance.

Lin Wanshuang narrowed her eyes smugly, like a cunning cat: "That's right! The way of beast taming and spirit contracting lies in following nature. Just wait patiently. I have a feeling that something will happen today..."

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed a slight change in Shen Qianxue's expression, and her words abruptly stopped.

"Om-!"

A faint yet exceptionally clear sword cry resonated directly within Shen Qianxue's spiritual consciousness.

Shen Qianxue's usually calm and aloof eyes suddenly narrowed, as if a thousand-year-old ice rippled slightly.

She reached into her robes, and in the next moment, a palm-sized spiritual sensing talisman was in her hand!

It was the secondary talisman left for Chen Qian's sensing talisman.

At this moment, the jade talisman was shimmering with a faint light, and the mysterious silver patterns on its surface seemed to come alive, indicating that it had received new information.

Shen Qianxue pointed a finger at the jade talisman, and immediately, a warm and magnetic voice rang out clearly from the depths of Shen Qianxue's sea of ​​consciousness, regardless of space.

"Fairy Shen, the market town of Qingye Mountain is under siege by demonic cultivators. The enemy is overwhelming, with nearly ten Foundation Establishment cultivators among them, and their void communication has been blocked by magic. If you have the means, Fairy, please lend a helping hand!"

The message was brief, but included the location of Mount Aoba.

"Sister Qianxue! What's wrong?!"

Lin Wanshuang was startled by her friend's sudden burst of fierce sword intent, and the rainbow sparrow on her shoulder also fluttered up.

She rarely saw Shen Qianxue with such an expression, and immediately became very interested.

Shen Qianxue raised her head, her expression now calm, and said, "A friend sent word that Qingye Mountain Market is under siege by demonic cultivators!"

Her voice was icy: "Wanshuang, I need to rush to help!"

"Qingye Mountain?" Lin Wanshuang's almond-shaped eyes widened as she quickly searched her mind for relevant information. "It seems to be a market town run by my clan under the clan system."

She was a true disciple of the Beast Taming Sect's Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts, so normally she shouldn't be familiar with the information of the various families under her control.

But since she has a sect leader father, she often has to help organize various sect information, and gradually she has become a know-it-all.

"Hmm... It's in the southwest, about... four thousand miles away from here!"

“Four thousand li…” Shen Qianxue’s eyes were sharp as lightning, “It will take a little over an hour to get there!”
