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

Chapter 167 Shocking Changes in the Demon Alliance! Annihilation of Sects and Massacre of Clans!
Although Su Yueshang had already formed her core and was a true disciple of the Palace Master of Zuiyue Palace, she did not hold any specific position in the palace.

Once their cultivation reaches the Core Formation stage, they automatically become sect elders.

The so-called elder is just a nominal position, more like an honorary title.

With her exceptional talent, impeccable lineage, and mastery of the sect's true teachings in the Illusory Sound Moon Scripture, she naturally holds a noble position and is an indisputable candidate for sect leader.

However, due to the limitations of the Illusory Sound Moon Scripture technique, true disciples who cultivate this method must find a good partner and form a bond of mutual affection after achieving the Core Formation stage.

Therefore, for over a thousand years, the true disciples of Zuiyue Palace have had a tradition of experiencing the mortal world in order to find a good match, rather than sitting idly in the palace, isolated from the world.

Their responsibilities are only twofold: first, to recruit suitable disciples for the Drunken Moon Palace as much as possible; and second, to respond immediately to and obey any important assignments made by the palace.

The so-called important assignments, apart from matters of life and death concerning the sect, are collective events that require the joint efforts of all immortal sects in the Li Kingdom, such as the invasion of the Demon Alliance and the reclamation of the land.

Therefore, Su Yueshang was more free after she formed her core than when she was in the foundation stage.

After recovering from her injuries, she left the palace immediately to visit her husband.

Even if Chen Qian wanted, he could move his family to Qiyue Valley and start a life of living off a woman.

Chen Qian received Su Yueshang's reply a short while after sending the message: "My lord, I am less than ten thousand miles away from Qianlong Mountain."

"Wanli, at most one hour later, Yuechang will arrive."

Chen Qian was overjoyed.

Having not seen her for so long, he missed her terribly, and the image of Su Yueshang's unparalleled beauty and figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

I felt a sense of gratitude, thinking that my past life on Earth, where I consistently practiced kindness and helped many elderly women cross the street, was worthwhile.

To win the heart of such a beautiful woman is truly a blessing in disguise; I deserve it all!
When Su Yueshang arrived, she did not make a big show of paying respects to the mountain, but instead entered quietly.

But of course she didn't need to force her way in; Chen Qian would release the restrictions of the great formation.

They sneaked in only to keep it a secret from the others at Qianlong Mountain, but that didn't include Chen Qian's women.

After all, we'll be sisters from now on. If we can't be honest with each other from the beginning, it will inevitably cause some misunderstandings later on.

……

……

……

Just as Chen Qian was happily waiting for Su Yueshang, Mu Hongxiao, who had met him once in Zifeng City and was quite interested in him, had just returned to the Yin Kui Sect's mountain gate, which was more than a million miles away from Li Kingdom, under the leadership of the sect elders.

At this time, the Yin Kui Sect was in a state of impending great battle, with a desolate and bleak atmosphere.

Countless Yin Kui Sect cultivators were mobilized, forming groups and setting off in formation. Huge bone ships filled the sky, and even the sect's giant puppet, which blotted out the sun, was mobilized.

"Elder Gu, is the situation really that critical?"

Mu Hongxiao's alluring and charming face was filled with an expression of disbelief.

Although she had expected it, the sight of the giant puppet that had taken the sect's seal and traveled dozens of miles away still left her speechless.

This is a powerful weapon of war that can only be deployed when the sect is in danger of collapse.

"It's worse than you think!"

Elder Gu was a fair-skinned, middle-aged beauty with a powerful spiritual pressure that was faintly visible. Her cultivation level had reached the mid-stage of Core Formation.

"Our three major sects in the Diluo Kingdom are only the first batch of this mobilization. Other countries will gather cultivators to come to our aid as soon as possible."

"You don't need to overthink it; these are not things you need to consider."

"It's good that your cultivation has improved. Has You Ji already advanced to the mid-stage of the second tier?"

"Yes." Mu Hongxiao obtained Yan Moyuan's remnant soul, which You Ji then devoured, allowing her to successfully advance to a minor level.

She herself has also mastered many supernatural abilities of controlling souls and exorcising ghosts, which can be described as a great improvement.

"That's good. With the help of the sect's secret techniques, you can now lead a team and barely control the third-tier Yin puppets. At least this will allow you to keep up with those other players in the competition."

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the Bone Hall deep within the sect.

This Great Hall of Bones may appear to be only a few dozen feet tall, but it is actually hidden within the sect's Sumeru Secret Realm.

What is visible to the outside is merely a tiny, insignificant corner of it.

This hall is a treasured heirloom of the Yin Kui Sect, its main body crafted from the skeleton of the ancient mythical beast, the Overturning Sea Mystic Whale, making it incredibly terrifying.

If three Nascent Soul stage True Monarchs were in charge, the power of a late Nascent Soul stage True Monarch could be unleashed.

Unfortunately, the Yin Kui Sect doesn't even have a single Nascent Soul stage True Monarch.

The sect's three Nascent Soul elders were only at the initial stage, but they were still superior to the Hidden Edge Pavilion, the overlord of the Li Kingdom.

Inside the main hall, several people were already seated in various places, creating an unpredictable and strange atmosphere, seemingly waiting for Mu Hongxiao and her companion.

As soon as the two entered the hall, before they could even speak, a sarcastic voice came from behind them: "Junior Sister Mu, you have quite the airs! Making so many fellow disciples wait for you alone."

"Yes, if you didn't know better, you'd think Junior Sister Mu had already been promoted to Sect Master."

"Everyone, please be patient. Perhaps Junior Sister has already raised her natal Yin Puppet to the third tier during this training?"

Two more mocking voices rang out, their tones both sinister and soft, neither clearly male nor female.

However, the three people who spoke were all men, but they all had a ghostly demeanor.

"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Yin, Senior Brother Fan, and Senior Brother Ji?"

Mu Hongxiao was already used to being targeted by her fellow disciples and was immune to it, so she immediately retorted.

"It seems the three of you didn't learn your lesson well enough in the Myriad Ghosts Secret Realm last time? Heh~"

Mu Hongxiao spoke gently and looked kind, as if she were chatting with a close female friend.

But his words struck straight to the heart of the three men.

"you……"

Before the three could speak in response, the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped, and a powerful pressure descended, silencing them.

At the head of the main hall, the yin energy surged like ripples on the surface of water. An old man, dressed in a purple-black robe, with a dignified face and an aura as deep as ink, appeared in the hall.

"Ancestor!"

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Yuan Kui!"

"Greetings, True Lord Yuan Kui!"

Inside the hall, several Core Formation cultivators and four Foundation Establishment disciples all rose to pay their respects, cupping their hands in reverence.

The newcomer was none other than the number one figure of the Yin Kui Sect, the Supreme Elder, a peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Yuan Kui True Monarch.

Of the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yin Puppet Sect, only he remained to guard the sect; the other two had already led their teams into battle.

"What kind of time is this to be attacking each other like this?!"

Those below the steps could only lower their heads and remain silent, while the few Foundation Establishment disciples felt their backs soaked with sweat.

Demonic sects rarely have an atmosphere of brotherly affection and respect. Those who don't resort to deadly attacks behind one's back are already considered to be of pure character.

However, such people often do not survive as long as the ruthless ones, so everyone's bad relationships are open and undisguised, and the sect's higher-ups do not care.

They were happy to see this happen, after all, the demonic sects cultivate wolves, not benevolent gentlemen.

Yuan Kui Zhenjun was merely venting his frustration; such mutual attacks were quite normal within the demonic sect. "Are you all aware of the current situation?"

Ancestor Yuan Kui had no intention of taking advantage of the situation. As a high-ranking member of the sect, he followed a strategy of raising Gu, but he himself would not kill Gu indiscriminately.

Several Core Formation cultivators were all disciples of their respective sects and belonged to different factions. However, given their current status, they no longer openly undermine each other.

Upon hearing this, they immediately bowed and replied that they understood, and then exchanged information with each other.

"What you know is what happened a few days ago. News has just come back that most of the Ghost Luo Kingdom has fallen, and only the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect is barely surviving by relying on the Nine Nether Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation."

"Both the Crying Soul Sect and the Netherworld Ghost Palace have been wiped out."

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly surprised.

Although the various sects within the nine kingdoms of the Demon Alliance vary in strength and have their own conflicts, they have always maintained a unified front against external forces. This structure has persisted for thousands of years.

The members of the Yin Kui Sect inside the hall had long regarded this situation as common knowledge.

Unexpectedly, a tragedy of the entire sect being wiped out has occurred!

The Ghost Luo Kingdom and the Earth Luo Kingdom are adjacent and share a border. Doesn't that mean that the Yin Kui Sect is also in danger of being wiped out?
No wonder the sect is so prepared for war, even deploying the sect's giant puppet.

It has truly reached an extremely critical moment.

The story begins in the Myriad Ghosts Secret Realm that Mu Hongxiao mentioned.

A year ago, on the day the Myriad Ghosts Secret Realm opened, several Foundation Establishment disciples of the Yin Puppet Sect entered to train.

This secret realm is a large-scale secret realm that can accommodate second-tier beings. It spawns a large number of Yin spirits and ghost beasts, which have a great tempering effect on the Foundation Establishment and advanced cultivation of the surrounding countries. The resources produced inside are also urgently needed by ghost path and soul path cultivators.

It was precisely because they controlled this secret realm that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect was able to subtly occupy the throne of the number one sect among the surrounding countries, and was known as one of the three major demonic sects of the nine kingdoms of the Demon Alliance, along with the Blood Demon Sect and the Dark Demon Sect.

But now, this once mighty demonic sect, which dominated a nation and intimidated vast surrounding regions, has been reduced to a state of mere survival?!

A year ago, the Myriad Ghosts Secret Realm opened, and many second-tier tiger-headed beastmen appeared in the secret realm. They were all invincible among their peers and had powerful combat strength.

This caused the demonic cultivators who entered the hall for training to be caught off guard, resulting in heavy casualties. Several cultivators from the Yin Puppet Sect also died, and even the few true disciples in the hall at this moment almost perished.

The secret realm could only be hastily closed. It is said that the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect personally came to investigate the situation and has a plan to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, not long after that, the Myriad Ghosts Secret Realm broke through the spatial barrier and was fully revealed to the world.

Countless tiger-headed beastmen emerged from it, along with a large number of their vassal races and demonic beasts, and quickly swept across the entire Ghost Luo Kingdom.

Now, just a few months later, the Crying Soul Sect and the Netherworld Ghost Palace, both members of the Demon Alliance, have been annihilated.

"Our sect, together with the Corpse Refining Sect and the Corpse Soul Cult, will join forces in the City of Ten Thousand Demons to block the advance of the Tiger-Headed Beast Clan and relieve the pressure on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect."

Yuan Kui Zhenjun spoke in a chilling tone, his voice deep and menacing.

"You Foundation Establishment disciples must all lead teams into battle, control third-tier Yin puppets, and wage guerrilla warfare outside the City of Ten Thousand Demons. Only when you achieve the required battle merits can you return to the city to rest."

"The true disciples who have reached the Core Formation stage will occupy various array nodes in the City of Ten Thousand Demons to resist strong attacks."

"Go to the Internal Affairs Hall to collect your combat supplies and set off immediately!"

Finally, Yuan Kui Zhenjun waved his hand, ordering all the cultivators in the hall to leave, before adding his own words.

"This is a racial conflict, a fight to the death, with no prisoners!"

"I will obey the Ancestor's command!"

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment disciples, including Mu Hongxiao, had no desire to argue anymore.

Although the nine kingdoms of the Demon Alliance launch an invasion of neighboring countries once every hundred years, it is only to plunder people and resources. They are also human and understand the foundation of cultivators among mortals. Those who massacre cities and wipe out families are only a minority.

However, the conflict with the orcs is a struggle for the survival of the race, which has a completely different meaning.

In particular, as a major sect with a Nascent Soul ancestor guarding the sect for a long time, they have more or less mastered more secret information.

The conflict between humans and beasts is not only a matter of survival, but also a matter of the fate of the entire cultivation world.

……

……

……

Chen Yunyi went into seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Chen Qian handed over the core of the formation to Yunxi for control. Although the latter's strength was low and she could not enhance the formation, she could still control it easily.

Yun Xi also possesses exceptional talent in formations, at least no less than Chen Qian, and her progress in cultivation is quite rapid.

Perhaps it was because they had absorbed the Xuanhuang Qi that all the women of the Chen family became little geniuses.

When Su Yueshang arrived, Chen Qian told Chen Yunxi and the other women about the situation.

They were all led to the entrance of Qianlong Residence to await Su Yueshang's arrival.

This meeting was of great significance, as it was equivalent to Su Yueshang appearing as Chen Qian's wife, and Chen Qian naturally had to give her the necessary respect.

In truth, Chen Qian owes her something. He formally married both Chen Yunxi and Feng Momo after going through the proper betrothal rites.

As for Chen Yunyi, he planned to hold the wedding and the Foundation Establishment ceremony together after both of them advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

It will definitely be a lively and bustling event, with many distinguished guests and a large number of visitors.

On the contrary, it is not advisable to reveal Su Yueshang, who has the highest cultivation level, in the short term.

There are reasons for her own lack of strength, as well as the pressure brought by Su Yueshang's identity.

It should be noted that, given Su Yueshang's status, the person who is matched with her should at least be a Core Formation cultivator.

If Chen Qian's marriage to the beauty is exposed, he will surely face endless trouble for a long time to come.

In the current situation, this is certainly not a good choice.

Upon hearing that their husband had actually taken in a Core Formation cultivator as a sister, Chen Yunxi and the other women were truly shocked.

To them, the Core Formation Realm Master was a figure almost unattainable, existing only in legends.

Now, my husband is actually saying that she's one of your sisters?!

Even Feng Momo, who has a somewhat carefree personality, felt immense pressure and anxiety.

"Husband, you're not joking?" Chen Yunxi asked, her emotions churning.

Feng Momo, holding Xiao Lingxi in her arms, pouted and said, "If we upset her, won't she just wipe us out with a wave of her hand?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Qian was both amused and exasperated.

"Yue Chang is a very nice person, you will meet her soon."

"Believe me, you two will become best friends."

Chen Qian understood that this matter would have a profound impact on the women, so as he spoke, his innate divine soul was fully deployed, covering the women around him, and the bewitching wave was activated to soothe their uneasy emotions.

This is not hypnosis, but rather a process of guiding the women's spirits to discard their negative emotions and amplify their positive ones.

Indeed, the Bewildering Wave was a divine skill, especially when Chen Qian's spiritual power held an absolute advantage.

The women's expressions indeed relaxed, turning into curiosity and anticipation towards Su Yueshang.
