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

Chapter 176 The Visit, The Rush, The Secrets of the Orcs

After much thought, Chen Qian still couldn't come up with a solution.

That's fine then.

Anyway, Tu Yuanfeng's secret cave won't run away, and it's not too far from Wanling City.

It wouldn't be too late to go after I deliver the Foundation Establishment Pill to Chi Qianliu.

Now that distinguished guests have arrived, Su Yueshang understood and, without further ado, returned to Qianlong Mountain with Chen Qian.

……

……

……

Several hours later, the two returned safely, and Su Yueshang quietly returned to her room at Qianlong Residence.

Of course she won't show up; there's no need.

Lin Wanshuang was lively and found the atmosphere in Qianlong Residence too stuffy, so Chen Yunyi accompanied her on a trip to Qianlong Mountain.

Currently, Chen Yunyi is the only Foundation Establishment cultivator on Qianlong Mountain. Her cultivation level is comparable to Lin Wanshuang's, and since they are both young women, she is a suitable companion.

When Chen Qian found the two women, they were enjoying tea and the scenery in a pavilion by Qianfeng Lake.

The austere atmosphere of Qianlong Mountain is somewhat absent here; a gentle mountain breeze brings a sense of tranquility and peace.

Lin Wanshuang is lively and pretty, while Chen Yunyi is aloof and lonely. Although she is somewhat different from Shen Qianxue's sharp and arrogant nature, she is also somewhat similar to her.

But Lin Wanshuang just happens to fall for this kind of thing; she gets along very easily with people of this personality.

"Sister Yunyi, the spiritual energy and scenery here are both lacking."

They had only spent a few hours together when they started calling each other "sister" and "brother." With Lin Wanshuang's limited perspective, Qianlong Mountain was obviously not up to her standards in any way.

"Yes. It was only recently recovered, and many areas are still not well-organized."

Chen Yunyi replied.

The potential conflict between her cultivation technique and her physical constitution has been resolved. Although her outward aloofness has not changed much, the coldness in her heart has dissipated considerably.

This manifested in a warmer tone of voice and longer sentences.

"Soon, the Hidden Edge Pavilion will definitely launch a pioneering campaign," Lin Wanshuang said with a smile. "At that time, it will be much easier to obtain some first-tier spiritual veins."

"It shouldn't be difficult to nurture the main spiritual vein here and advance it to the second-tier high-grade."

"Yes. I'll talk to Chen Qian about it." Chen Yunyi nodded in agreement.

Next, Lin Wanshuang changed the subject and started talking about the various scenic spots and historical sites within the Li Kingdom.

She was active by nature and wanted to raise spirit beasts. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, she had already traveled to many places in just a few months.

In this respect, Chen Yunyi had little experience; apart from traveling between Fenglin Valley and Qingye Mountain, she had hardly ever gone far from home.

She has always been a homebody, spending her free time studying talismans and formations.

But she was a good listener, and influenced by Lin Wanshuang's personality, she would occasionally smile and chime in with a word or two.

Although she did most of the talking and Lin Wanshuang did most of the talking, the atmosphere between the two was inexplicably harmonious.

This was the scene that Chen Qian witnessed upon his arrival.

"Wanshuang, Yunyi, what are you chatting about so happily?"

Chen Qian cupped his hands in greeting and greeted Lin Wanshuang.

"Oh, you're here."

Lin Wanshuang smiled, her tone familiar.

The two had only known each other for a short time and were not close friends.

However, Chen Qian possessed the temperament of a human from Earth, being very generous and unpretentious, which suited Lin Wanshuang's taste perfectly.

Chen Qian then sat down and joined their conversation.

After drinking several cups of spiritual tea, Lin Wanshuang finally explained her purpose.

She came to invite Chen Qian to participate in exploring the soon-to-be-opened Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

"Oh?! The Myriad Beasts Secret Realm is about to open?" Chen Qian asked in surprise.

He acquired a storage bag from a Lu family cultivator at Bijia Mountain, which contained a map of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

He really wanted to participate, after all, it was a first-tier secret realm. Once he entered, it would be like a max-level expert returning to the starting village, absolutely invincible.

Going there would just be a waste of time and effort.

But as far as he knew, the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm opened once every twenty years, and the Beast Taming Sect would only release a limited number of slots to its subordinate families, never specifically inviting people to participate.

Their sect has plenty of disciples ranging from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining, so there is no shortage of people willing to explore.

Furthermore, the Beast Taming Sect will release information each time a secret realm opens, since they will always offer a few spots.

However, there is currently no relevant information in the family's intelligence database.

This means that the Beast Taming Sect never intended to publicly announce the opening of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

These unusual circumstances flashed through Chen Qian's mind in an instant.

He knew that something unusual must have happened.

"Yes. This opening is different from the past."

Lin Wanshuang began to explain, speaking frankly and openly, without any reservations.

Once every three hundred years...

Linked to an unknown, secret realm...

More rare spiritual materials have been added...

The incredibly ferocious Minotaur race...

Lin Wanshuang even hinted that there would be clashes between Nascent Soul level beings behind the scenes.

"So that's how it is!" Chen Qian was dumbfounded.

Such an ordinary secret realm is actually involved in so many things.

It was even a matter of paramount importance concerning the survival of the entire human race in the cultivation world.

According to the latest news, Guiluo Kingdom, one of the nine kingdoms of the Demon Alliance, is on the verge of destruction!

The root of the calamity lies in the Myriad Ghosts Secret Realm, which is similar to the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

This secret realm was actually opened up into a void passage by a powerful figure from the Tiger-Headed Beastman Clan, and the entire Ghost Luo Kingdom was quickly occupied by a continuous stream of beastmen and demonic beasts.

Only the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, one of the three sects of the Demon Alliance, remained, barely surviving thanks to their fourth-tier superior array.

So the only good news is that this once-in-a-century invasion by the Demon Alliance has been completely averted.

However, when looking at the issue, we cannot only see the benefits; the potential dangers of this change have become even greater.

If even the nine kingdoms of the Demon Alliance cannot withstand the orc invasion, then...

The consequences were far more terrifying than the original Nine Kingdoms Raid.

Although the Kingdom of Li has been plundered and slaughtered by the Demon Alliance for thousands of years, the people of the Demon Alliance are still human, and there are countless mortals in the various countries of the Demon Alliance.

But now, it is estimated that almost all of the hundreds of millions of mortals in the Ghost Luo Kingdom have perished at the hands of beasts.

All nine kingdoms of the Demon Alliance are significantly larger than the Kingdom of Li, especially the Kingdoms of Tianluo, Diluo, and Guiluo, which are many times larger.

Now, one of the largest and most powerful kingdoms in the Demon Alliance has been completely destroyed.

If this happened in Lebanon, it would be unimaginable!
No wonder Lin Wanshuang invited him to participate in this matter.

Having gone through the Battle of Qingye Mountain together, and with Shen Qianxue who knows him even better, Lin Wanshuang must be very familiar with his extraordinary combat power.

"The Myriad Beasts Secret Realm will open within half a month. Sister Qianxue has returned to Cangfeng Pavilion and is going to assemble the strongest Qi Refining team."

"The Seven Stars Sect, the Crimson Flame Sect, and the Drunken Moon Palace will all send their strongest members." "You will be the only clan cultivator to participate, and I believe you will be the strongest."

Finally, Lin Wanshuang looked at Chen Qian with hopeful eyes, hoping he would agree quickly so they could set off for the Beast Taming Sect.

After all, the journey is not short, and it will take several days just to get there.

The opening of the secret realm within half a month is just a rough timeframe; it may be earlier.

Therefore, once Chen Qian agreed, there wasn't much time to spare, and they had to set off immediately.

"Wanshuang, I agree to this." Chen Qian said after a moment's thought.

"However, I need to go home and explain some things first."

"That's only right." Lin Wanshuang nodded. "Then I'll wait for you here."

"it is good."

Chen Qian beckoned to an internal affairs steward who was following nearby and told him to await Lin Wanshuang's instructions before leaving with Chen Yunyi.

He absolutely had to go on this trip to the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

Putting aside the fact that this was originally part of his plan, what's more, this secret realm is now so important that, given the limitation on Qi Refining cultivation level, there is no one more suitable than him in the entire Li Kingdom.

At the very least, he would never allow the Li Kingdom to repeat the mistakes of the Gui Luo Kingdom.

When Chen Qian and Chen Yunyi returned to Qianlong Residence, they gathered all the women in the family and told them the information they had received from Lin Wanshuang.

There are many secrets involved, and frankly, telling women this would only make them worry.

But Chen Qian didn't want to hide it from them.

Although the women were destined to be under his protection, he did not want them to become caged birds.

Moreover, this time, besides Chen Yunyi and Su Yueshang, he wanted to bring all the women with him.

The situation isn't too bad yet. Receiving this information sooner can give women more motivation to improve and grow.

In addition, they have all integrated the Xuanhuang Qi nurtured by the Destiny Wheel Realm, and their aptitude and potential are extremely strong. Only by staying in the Destiny Wheel Realm to cultivate, making one day count as three days, can their growth be maximized.

In the outside world, they are just like other cultivators, and their lifespan is limited by their cultivation level.

However, in the Wheel of Fate, they are nourished by the power of the world, and their physical bodies and souls can maintain the most perfect state, and they are immortal.

Normally, each opening of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm lasts for one month.

However, this time the situation is special, and the timing is difficult to determine.

In the past, when the secret realm was opened, the period of spatial interaction between the secret realm and the outside world was one month. After that time, the cultivators from the outside world would be repelled by the spatial power.

However, this time, the powerful Minotaur clan is trying to open up the two realms. The key is to fix the spatial passage between the secret realm and the outside world, and to transform the secret realm to accommodate high-level cultivators.

This is clearly a massive undertaking, and the manpower and resources that the Minotaur race will invest will be an enormous amount.

As for the timeframe, it's hard to say whether it will be a month or not.

Finally, Su Jin and the other two women were all about to give birth. Chen Qian was worried about not having them with him, and he didn't want to miss the birth of his children.

Su Yueshang also mentioned that she had just contacted Zuiyue Palace and learned about the palace's plans.

This time, Drunken Moon Palace will send three of its most outstanding Qi Refining stage disciples. Su Yueshang volunteered to be the team leader and will stay outside the secret realm to provide extra support.

Therefore, it was necessary for Chen Yunyi to stay and guard Qianlong Mountain. She had just broken through and her realm was not yet stable, so she really needed to cultivate in seclusion.

She has achieved the perfect Foundation Establishment stage, and as long as resources are plentiful, she can smoothly cultivate all the way to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

A typical Foundation Establishment overhaul takes decades to advance to each minor stage, but Chen Yunyi might only need a few years.

Chen Qian had prepared several kinds of pills to increase mana during the Foundation Establishment stage for her, as well as spiritual items such as Cold Marrow Crystal, Moon Lotus, and Sunflower Water Essence, which was enough for Chen Yunyi's Foundation Establishment cultivation needs.

As for other affairs of Qianlong Mountain, with elders like Chen Hongyuan in charge, and without the need to expand their influence, ensuring stable operation is not a problem.

Whether it was his two wives, Chen Yunxi and Feng Momo, his three concubines, Su Jin, Qing Man, and Zi Yao, or his four personal maids, they were all overjoyed to hear that they could all stay by Chen Qian's side.

All the women entered the Wheel of Fate, and naturally, Xiao Yi'an and Xiao Lingxi were taken along as well.

Xuanzhu Villa has everything it needs, so there's no need to tidy up anything.

Chen Qian also made a special trip to the treasure vault and took some useful items and supplies that could be sold.

After this matter in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm is resolved, I will definitely be staying in the Myriad Spirits City for a period of time.

When the time comes, I'll definitely make a killing with spirit stones and try to get every woman a Primordial Decree.

This thing is so useful.

The only difference between level 1 and level 2 tokens and the token holder is in terms of permissions; their defensive functions are the same.

After everything was arranged, Chen Qian held Chen Yun tightly in his arms and gently kissed her lips.

"Sister Yunyi, you should focus on consolidating your cultivation level and prioritize stability in all matters. I'll be back soon."

"okay, I get it."

He personally saw Su Yueshang off again, and spent some time with her.

"Moon Robe, meet me outside the secret realm!"

"I understand, take care, my lord!"

……

……

……

The sect's gate is located in the northeast of Qianlong Mountain. To get there, one would naturally ride Lin Wanshuang's Crimson Flame Crane.

This rare and agile bird truly deserves its title as the fastest among second-tier birds.

Once it left Qianlong Mountain, it soared straight into the sky, its wings slightly folded, its long neck forming a straight line with its body. It would flap its wings only once every few breaths, but its speed was comparable to that of a True Person in the early stage of Core Formation.

Zhu Yanhe's back is very broad, and there is more than enough room for dozens of people to stand on it.

At such a high speed, the wind-transforming function activated by Chen Qian's robe was nearing its limit, forcing him to activate his protective spiritual light to eliminate the impact of the wind.

Upon seeing this, Lin Wanshuang smiled and moved to Chen Qian's side, allowing the light shield of her magical feather robe to also envelop Chen Qian.

Instantly, a peaceful space was created between the two, and the fierce gale that could have easily torn apart ordinary houses dissipated in an instant.

"Wanshuang, tell me more about the Minotaur race," Chen Qian said, seeing that the two were a little awkward being alone together because they weren't familiar with each other.

"Okay."

This breaking of the silence immediately dispelled the awkward atmosphere.

"To have a basic understanding of the orc race, we probably need to start with the origins of this race."

Lin Wanshuang knew that Chen Qian, coming from a small family, would know very little about the secrets of this level, so she didn't keep her in suspense and began to tell her the story in detail.

"The original races of this world are our human race and the demon race."

"The demon race does not only refer to demonic beasts, but more importantly, it refers to the beastmen who evolved from various wild beasts and ferocious beasts."

"For example, the Minotaur tribe we are about to encounter, and the Tiger-Headed tribe that attacked and destroyed the Ghost Luo Kingdom."

"They share the same origin as demonic beasts, but they have simply taken two different evolutionary paths."

"Therefore, they are born with the ability to control demonic beasts, and they also possess intelligence that is no less than that of our human race."

"They are our true enemies, our life and death."

"They possess formidable physiques and innate supernatural abilities; compared to us, they are only weaker in comprehension."

"Without our various cultivation techniques that have been developed to their peak, our offensive and defensive methods are relatively simple, and our advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious."

"But this comparison of advantages and disadvantages is more dominant at lower levels."

"At least as far as I know, a top-tier first-order Minotaur has a physical body that is at least comparable to a second-order Body Refiner. Moreover, their innate ability 'Berserk' can greatly enhance their combat power, and 'Bloodlust' makes them immune to soul attacks, making them extremely difficult to deal with."

Even with your strength, you must be cautious and not be careless!
