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

Chapter 159 Taking back the old territory without bloodshed, the Grand Elder: Is it that easy?

Accompanying the Grand Elder this time were the twelve most elite Phoenix Guards of the family.

The Phoenix Guard is an important armed force of the Chen family, consisting of twelve full-strength guards, all of whom are orphans adopted by the family from a young age. Their loyalty is top-notch, and their cultivation levels are all between the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining.

They are trained from childhood to practice combined attack techniques, and can be organized into multi-person military formations. Their aura and magical power are compatible, as if they were one.

Three people form a small formation, six people form a medium formation, and all of them form a large formation.

A small formation can kill a peak Qi Refining cultivator, a medium formation can withstand an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a large formation can defeat an early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Of course, this is only the initial stage of Foundation Establishment.

But it was already astonishing enough, far surpassing the Crane Guards of the Lu family and the Nine Dragons Guards of the Zhou family.

Below the Phoenix Cry Guards, there are also the Young Phoenix Guards, with the same training mechanism and dozens of members serving as a reserve force.

If any Phoenix Guard suffers casualties or retires, the Young Phoenix Guard will select replacements.

Besides the Phoenix Guards, there were more than fifty other people who came with them, most of whom were mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators from their families, and a few were early-stage or late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Among them, Chen Qian was pleasantly surprised to find his seventh uncle, Chen Hongyuan.

"Seventh Uncle! You're here too!" Chen Qian greeted him happily.

"Yes, Xiao Qian!" Chen Hongyuan greeted him warmly and patted Chen Qian on the shoulder with satisfaction.

He was genuinely pleased, knowing that this opportunity for the family's development was brought about by Chen Qian.

Seeing the child I've cared for since childhood become so successful, I was grinning from ear to ear.

After conquering Jinshiya, these fifty or so men were to be stationed there permanently as administrators and guards.

Chen Qian could take down the current Golden Stone Cliff by himself, but he obviously couldn't manage this spiritual land on his own, so he had to call on people from his family.

These people clearly knew their responsibilities and were very excited. Their gazes toward Chen Qian were complex, but also showed a great deal of respect.

In just one year, Chen Qian's contributions to the family have been enough to surpass many elders and rival those of the ancestor.

My cultivation has also progressed by leaps and bounds. Before even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, I have already shown the potential to become a hegemon, which is truly astonishing.

In this world, though there is no shortage of conspiracies and rebellions, there is also reverence for the strong and a respect for bloodlines. Although Chen Qian is young, he has already earned the respect and admiration of many of his clansmen.

Moreover, I am now fortunate enough to participate in the battle to recapture Jinshiya...

One reason is that they see hope for the revival of their family, and the other is that they have made better progress and their cultivation has the potential to advance further.

With a larger territory, they can acquire more resources and support more people.

Given these factors, it's not hard to understand why these clansmen viewed Chen Qian as a god.

Before setting off for this place, Chen Qian had already expressed to Chen Laozu through Chen Hongjin his desire to stay at Jinshiya for a long time.

Given his achievements and abilities, I believe that Elder Chen would not refuse, and he is indeed the most suitable candidate at present.

Another place, Crane Immortal Ridge, is just right for Chen Hongbing, who is about to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

It perfectly aligns with the family's short- to medium-term development strategy.

Seeing that everyone was present, Chen Qian summoned the Grand Elder, Chen Hongyuan, and Chen Yunyi to the side to discuss how to attack Jinshi Cliff.

"Golden Stone Cliff possesses a second-tier top-level formation, the Molten Fire Flowing Gold Formation. This formation is both offensive and defensive, and should not be underestimated," the First Elder spoke first.

"Although there is no Foundation Establishment expert to preside over the attack now, we may suffer casualties if we attack rashly."

“I have some knowledge of this formation. If I can get the control core, I am confident that I can initially master it!” Chen Yunyi interjected upon hearing this.

The art of formations is profound and complex; those who do not understand its mysteries can only stare blankly even if they have the formation flags in hand.

"Great! That makes things easier." Chen Qian was overjoyed.

Next, Chen Qian decided that he would lead Chen Yunyi to explore the great formation, seize the opportunity to infiltrate it, and take control of the core.

Although the Grand Elder was somewhat worried, the Ancestor had made it clear before they came that all actions would be carried out under Chen Qian's command. Since Chen Qian had made the decision, he could not say anything more.

"Elder, Seventh Uncle, please wait here for my message."

"Any Wu family deserters will be killed on the spot!"

His tone was calm, yet it conveyed a powerful message that compelled people to obey and believe him.

Chen Qian was unaware of this change. In reality, it was the hidden influence brought about by his status as the master of the Destiny Wheel Realm, coupled with his innate divine soul and the Profound Yin Refining God Technique.

It is foreseeable that when the Primordial Life Wheel Realm grows to a certain level and his own cultivation reaches the heavens, one day Chen Qian will be able to reach the point where his words become law.

……

……

……

Chen Qian and Chen Yunyi simultaneously activated the Harmony with Light and Dust Technique and sped towards Jinshi Cliff.

Chen Yunyi's "Harmony with the World" technique has only reached the first level of proficiency, which is far behind Chen Qian's second level of minor mastery.

Chen Qian then took out another second-tier low-grade Shadow Escape Talisman and cast the Sunflower Water Heavenly Flower Spell, blessing Chen Yunyi with it.

This time, the effect was remarkable. Even when connected to Xiao Yin's consciousness, Chen Qian could not detect Chen Yunyi's whereabouts from a distance.

He took Chen Yunyi's hand and unleashed the Blazing Sky Step. Under the cover of the Harmony with Light and Dust Technique, only a faint red light remained as they sped along at breakneck speed.

In less than half an incense stick's time, they arrived at the great formation of Jinshi Cliff.

Jinshiya Spirit Land consists of several rocky peaks of varying heights, as well as some forests, lakes, and valleys, covering a considerable area.

It is named Jinshiya (Golden Stone Cliff) because the highest stone peak in the center appears golden in the sunlight.

Chen Qian asked Chen Yunyi to observe the formation nearby, while he himself went to the formation's light screen to feel the energy flow of the formation.

This formation is filled with the aura of metal and fire, which is incompatible with the yin energy, so the Nine Nether Array Plate cannot be used.

Chen Qian placed his hand on the light screen. At this time, the great formation was not fully activated. He felt that if he broke through it with all his might, he should be able to enter, but it would be inevitable that he would be detected.

He does have a rare treasure that allows him to enter undetected, but he feels it's a bit of a waste.

What treasure?
Of course, it's the treasure that appeared on the Xuan Tian Sacred Tree!
In addition, he could also use the forbidden-breaking talisman he intercepted from Hei Yunzi, but it was equally difficult to guarantee its stealth effect.

After thinking about it, I decided to use fruit instead; it would only consume some energy from the realm's energy wheel.

Simply taking down the person controlling the formation quietly will reduce countless troubles; it's well worth it.

Having made up his mind, Chen Qian found Chen Yunyi, who was engrossed in studying formations, and told her his entire plan.

Seeing that Chen Qian possessed such a miraculous treasure, Chen Yunyi was no longer surprised.

Hearing that Chen Qian possessed a legendary portable paradise, Chen Yunyi felt she could easily reply with, "Oh, that's all. And then?"

Despite only having conducted brief research, Chen Yunyi still managed to discover a potential weakness in the Molten Gold Formation thanks to her exceptional talent in formations.

In addition, it is located in a valley, dotted with spiritual fields, and even has mountain springs and streams flowing through it, making it a pleasant place.

It is possible that the lush greenery and abundant water here, along with the clash between the flow of energy and the interaction of metal and fire, caused the power of the formation to become somewhat sluggish.

In reality, whether this place is truly a weak point in the formation is irrelevant.

Because this Blink Treasure is similar to the Exploration Treasure.

Since the energy is not directly used for attack or defense, its power level has exceeded the Foundation Establishment stage and reached the threshold of the third-tier low-grade level.

In other words, even if the grand formation were at its full power, it couldn't stop its teleportation ability.

Chen Qian found a hidden spot in the valley and took out the teleportation artifact that resembled a portal.

This treasure is a fruit from a tree, and it does indeed carry the scent of plants, but its appearance does not resemble a fruit at all.

Chen Qian activated the portal, and the fruit transformed into a stream of light, passing through his crown and into his sea of ​​consciousness without any hindrance.

An oval-shaped portal formed in his sea of ​​consciousness. Instantly, Chen Qian learned how to use the portal.

With just a thought, you can project the portal, enter it, select a location, and set the target distance to reach it in one step.

The distance can be as far as a hundred miles, while the closest distance is the sum of the starting point and the destination.

Of course, Chen Qian wouldn't be so brainless as to waste energy doing that.

Although one can choose the direction, the outcome of the target landing point is left to chance.

Therefore, for safety, the best landing point is wherever you can see.

Chen Qian activated his Divine Eye Technique, gazing into the vast array, searching for a suitable landing point.

At the edge of the valley, there is a row of houses built against the mountain, which seems to be the residence of Lingnong.

Not far away, there was also an orchard.

At this moment, people were busy in the spiritual fields in the valley, but the houses and orchards seemed deserted.

There aren't many people.

That's it!
With their stealth abilities, unless they directly bump into someone, there is absolutely no chance of them being discovered.

Chen Qian roughly estimated the distance; it was about three miles from here to the orchard, with a clear view in between and no danger whatsoever.

Having chosen his target location, Chen Qian raised his hand and summoned a portal of light.

An oval-shaped phantom appeared in the void, and the area inside the door was utterly silent.

Although Chen Qian knew where the road led, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy; this was humanity's awe of the unknown.

This portal is invisible to the naked eye; only its controller, Chen Qian, can perceive it through his divine soul.

This is an application of spatial rules, which Chen Qian can use but knows nothing about.

"Sister Yunyi, I'll take you inside. Just relax and don't resist."

Chen Qian walked to Chen Yunyi's side, reached out and hugged her tight and slender body, and whispered in her ear.

The warm breath rushed to her ears, like a light feather, stirring the heart of the beautiful woman.

Chen Yunyi felt a surge of heat rush to her brain, her limbs stiffened, and her fingers and toes felt numb, as if countless ants were crawling on them.

She couldn't see the portal and didn't know how Chen Qian planned to lead her into the formation.

But that doesn't matter anymore, as long as you trust him.

"Hmm~" Chen Yunyi nodded, her voice still trembling slightly despite her best efforts to control it.

Chen Qian chuckled, unconcerned.

Their hands tightened, and they stepped forward simultaneously, disappearing without a trace in an instant, as if they had teleported.

Inside the Jinshiya Grand Formation, in the eastern valley, next to Lingnong's residence, in the orchard.

Two almost invisible figures appeared from the void, but remained tightly embracing each other.

a long time……

One of the figures, which appeared to have a shapely figure, struggled slightly.

The two figures then separated.

"Oh, we've arrived." A tall, upright man in the group said, slightly embarrassed.

"..." The curvaceous figure was naturally Chen Yunyi, who couldn't help but spit inwardly upon hearing this.

You don't know you've arrived?

How long do you plan to keep hugging like this?
Although her face felt hot, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

It was a novel experience that she found captivating.

"What do we do next?" Chen Yunyi asked, changing the subject.

"What else can we do? Let's just treat it as exploring our new territory!"

Chen Qian smiled.

Once they get in, no one will be able to find them again.

Currently, there are probably fewer than ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the entire Golden Stone Cliff.

Even if the two of them stood in front of these people, they would be blind.

At this time, on the stone peak in the center of the sacred land, there is a grand family ancestral hall.

This place not only houses the ancestral tablets of the Wu family, but also serves as the core of the family's grand formation.

Inside the ancestral hall, Wu Yixuan, the eldest elder of the Wu family who remained behind, paced anxiously.

Years of cultivating inner strength have vanished, and ominous premonitions begin to arise.

"With the passing of our ancestor, alas!"

He was one of the few people in the Wu family who knew the truth, including that Wu Yiqian was controlled by the Soul Devouring Hall, that the family arranged for several outstanding disciples to go out and avoid trouble, and that the three families jointly attacked Qingye Mountain.

At this time, he tried to contact Wu Yiqian multiple times using the sensing talisman, but all attempts were like throwing a stone into the sea, without a sound.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning; something terrible was about to happen.

But with no way to deal with it, they could only sit and wait.

Wu Yixuan's premonition was accurate. After Chen Qian and Chen Yunyi strolled around most of Jinshi Cliff, they had now arrived at the top of the stone peak.

"The conflict between the two races has nothing to do with right or wrong; it's simply a matter of survival." Chen Qian stood dozens of feet away from Wu Yixuan, completely unaware of his presence.

May you be reborn into a better family in the future!

This person has the highest cultivation level in the entire Golden Stone Cliff. If there is a control core for the formation, it must be on him.

Xuanyin thorn!
Without needing Xiao Yin's help, Chen Qian himself possessed more than ten times the spiritual strength of Wu Yixuan, enough to directly annihilate his soul.

But Chen Qian certainly wouldn't do that. His attack only completely shattered Wu Yixuan's soul defense, putting him in a deep coma, and then he released a hypnotic wave to put him to sleep.

The rest is simple. In this state, if you ask Kris Wu how many young women and wives he watched bathing and changing clothes decades ago, he will answer without reservation.

The core of the formation was indeed on him. After Chen Qian inquired in detail about all aspects of Jinshiya, he sent him to his death without him experiencing any pain.

The ending was already predetermined, and for Kris Wu, this may well be a form of happiness.

Under Wu Yixuan's meticulous "tutoring," Chen Yunyi has gained initial mastery of the Molten Gold Array thanks to her solid knowledge of array formations.

Upon receiving Chen Qian's message, Elder Chen Ruiyang led a group of Chen family members into Jinshiya without any hindrance.

With the help of the formation, everything on Jinshi Cliff was exposed.

Apart from the families of thousands of high-ranking members of the Wu family and ordinary people without cultivation, hundreds of Wu family cultivators, guest elders, and retainers who remained behind were purged in a daze.

Those who dare to resist will be executed on the spot.

Those whose cultivation level reaches the mid-stage of Qi Refining or above, or those with low cultivation level but excellent aptitude, will also be killed without exception.

Those who are low in cultivation, old, or of poor aptitude will have their cultivation abolished and be imprisoned along with ordinary people.

The struggles between cultivation families allow no room for sentimentality.

The Chen family's methods are not considered cruel; at least they would not tolerate their family members torturing or humiliating their enemies.

Murder is merely a means to an end, a way to eliminate potential risks, and certainly not a means to allow people to indulge their desires.
