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

Chapter 178 A Heart-Fluttering Moment, The Grandeur of the Immortal Sect, A Desire to Visit a True Immortal
Several hours passed, and there was nothing unusual in the cave, which served as a temporary resting place.

Even after leaving, Chen Qian did not relax his vigilance, but instead had Aka keep a close watch on the area within a mile around the cave.

With Aka by his side, Chen Qian's life became much easier.

He no longer needs to worry about unknown beings lying in ambush at the place where he leaves the Wheel of Fate.

Not long after, Lin Wanshuang sent a message saying that they could continue their journey.

Chen Qian had already tidied himself up. Having just enjoyed services far exceeding those of the top clubs on Earth, he looked refreshed and radiant.

Upon seeing each other for the first time, Lin Wanshuang was stunned.

While Chen Qian's appearance was certainly outstanding, what attracted Lin Wanshuang even more was his lofty and mysterious temperament.

The two rode together on a spirit bird, side by side, and had already become quite familiar with each other.

But in just two or three hours, he looked even better!
It's so weird.

Lin Wanshuang muttered to herself, her beautiful eyes scanning Chen Qian up and down.

Chen Qian felt a little scared. Had he grown red hair?

You're a true disciple of a prestigious sect, the daughter of the sect leader. What's wrong with you? You act like you've never seen a handsome man before!

Unbeknownst to him, after deciding to keep all the women by his side, a hidden sense of crisis dissipated considerably, which allowed his soul and state of mind to evolve further.

The influence on those around him was also amplified, though he was unaware of it.

This change has actually been happening slowly all along.

But this time, in just a few hours, the change suddenly progressed a little, and for someone like Lin Wanshuang, whose soul is naturally sharp, the impact would be very obvious.

However, she didn't know why; she only felt that Chen Qian looked even more handsome, and his aura made her want to get closer and explore him.

"Let's go!" Lin Wanshuang looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

Even if she is a woman, it is still quite abrupt for her to stare directly at a man like that.

A romantic atmosphere suddenly arose between the two, and Lin Wanshuang was no longer as poised and graceful as before.

She summoned the Crimson Flame Crane, and the giant bird soared into the sky, continuing to carry the two of them towards the Beast Taming Sect.

Lin Wanshuang possesses remarkable cultivation and comes from a noble family, making her a true darling of heaven.

But in reality, she was just a naive nineteen-year-old girl, a young girl just beginning to experience love.

Chen Qian, however, is different. His knowledge and practical skills in this area are at an expert level.

He knew that the two of them were not close enough and their relationship was not yet established.

At this point, the best approach is to let it cool down and allow her to process the situation and calm herself down.

Afterwards, their relationship could naturally progress further.

……

……

……

Two days later, the two stood on the Zhu Yanhe, looking towards the end of the earth.

A magnificent mountain range had appeared in the distance.

Beast Taming Sect, Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range, almost there!

"Chen Qian, we'll be at Wanling Mountain soon. I'm going to show you the sect's Hundred Beast Corridor."

Lin Wanshuang's emotions had already returned to normal. Seeing that the sect was not far away, she said excitedly.

In the past two days, Lin Wanshuang has also introduced many scenic spots in Wanling Mountain to Chen Qian.

The most famous of these is the hundred-mile-long Corridor of a Hundred Beasts.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Wanshuang."

Chen Qian smiled and said that he had long admired the place and was indeed quite interested.

As the saying goes, "looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," even though the Wanling Mountains were right in front of him, it still took Zhu Yanhe more than a quarter of an hour to get there.

Zhu Yanhe let out a clear, long cry, spread its wings, and gradually slowed down, hovering high in the sky several miles away from the vast mountain range.

From here, the outline of the Wanling Mountains is no longer illusory, but has transformed into a colossal object stretching across the land, seemingly supporting the sky.

Deep within the mountains, a spiritual atmosphere pervades, with glimpses of rosy clouds and countless strange peaks and rocks rising from the ground, each with its own unique shape.

A rich aura of heaven and earth, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees and the scents of countless strange creatures, wafts towards you.

The spiritual veins here are not only enormous in scale, but also of the lowest grade of the fourth rank. Chen Qian only needed to take one breath to feel his mind clear and his magical power seemed to become more active.

Lin Wanshuang piloted the Crimson Flame Crane, flying along an invisible aerial trajectory towards the mountain gate at the entrance of the sect.

The closer you get to the mountain gate, the more intense the sense of oppressive grandeur becomes.

The mountain is as if it were cut by a knife and axe, with steep cliffs covered with thick moss and gnarled ancient vines.

Finally, before a huge mountain pass that seemed to have been cleaved open by the axe of a giant god, Zhu Yanhe landed steadily on a vast white jade platform.

At the end of the platform lies the mountain gate of the Beast Taming Sect!
The first thing that catches the eye is the two colossal beast statues that stand on either side like ancient gods and demons!
The giant beast on the left resembles a Qilin, majestic and ferocious, its entire body carved from black crystal, with dark golden light patterns flowing across its surface.

The colossal beast leaned slightly forward, its head held high, covered in thick, jagged scales. Its massive mouth was slightly open, its limbs were as thick as pillars supporting the sky, and its sharp claws were deeply embedded in the white jade platform, as if it had become one with the earth beneath its feet.

On the right is a statue of a divine bird about to take flight. It is handsome and elegant, with its long neck gracefully curved and its head held high, exuding an innate nobility.

The divine bird's wings were enormous, with a wingspan that covered almost half of the platform. It was poised to pounce, as if ready to tear through the sky at any moment.

These two colossal beast statues, positioned like horns to each other, immediately evoke a sense of indestructibility and overwhelming power.

They are surrounded by pure and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, forming an invisible force field. They are one of the three array bases of the sect's fourth-order grand array - the Nine Heavens Sky-Splitting Array.

Behind the giant beast statue lies the core sect territory of the Beast Taming Sect.

Before this magnificent mountain gate stood a group of Beast Taming Sect disciples, dressed in uniform blue outfits and with upright postures like pine trees.

They exuded composure, and their cultivation levels were all at the late stage of Qi Refining, with the leader being a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

What is remarkable is that each of the disciples guarding the mountain has a powerful spirit beast companion beside them, either crouching, lying down, coiling, or standing quietly. They are all different kinds of spirit beasts.

There are spirit wolves and fierce tigers, earth-walking rhinoceroses and pangolins, as well as falcons and war eagles.

The connection between humans and beasts is seamless, a silent yet powerful force that underscores the foundation of the Beast Taming Sect.

Although the massive mountain gate was not as noisy and bustling as the city gates of ordinary people, there were still many cultivators coming and going, some flying on magical artifacts, some traveling in groups, and some riding spirit beasts.

Most of them were composed, their expressions carrying the unique confidence and pride of disciples of the Immortal Sect.

From the depths of the distant mountains, the faint roars of beasts and the melodious calls of birds could be heard. These sounds intertwined to form a unique spiritual aura belonging to the Beast Taming Sect, creating a powerful atmosphere.

Chen Qian stood on the platform, looking up at the two colossal beast statues that seemed to connect heaven and earth. He felt the aura flowing from the mountain gate, and a magnificent and profound immortal aura rushed towards him, impacting his mind.

"how?"

Lin Wanshuang's voice rang in his ears, tinged with a proud smile. She pointed to the two enormous statues that resembled guardian deities of the sect and said, "These are the sacred statues of our Beast Taming Sect's first generation of guardian beasts, the 'Mysterious Peak Qilin' and the 'Purple Sky Star Roc'! They have guarded the sect for over ten thousand years."

She pointed inside the mountain gate and laughed, "Pass through this gate, and you'll find the true Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range, where the Hundred Beasts Corridor begins. Are you ready to have your eyes opened, Chen Qian?"

Chen Qian slowly withdrew his gaze from the two colossal beast statues that seemed ready to come to life at any moment, his eyes gleaming with amazement.

He smiled slightly and nodded to Lin Wanshuang, saying, "I have long yearned to visit. Wanshuang, please lead the way."

As the two approached the mountain gate, the Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed there greeted them, cupping his hands in greeting to Lin Wanshuang and saying, "Greetings, Junior Sister Caidie. And this young man is?"

This was a burly man with a ruddy complexion and a composed demeanor; his cultivation level was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

“Senior Brother Chu, this is my friend,” Lin Wanshuang replied.

Then, without waiting for Senior Brother Chu's reply, he immediately added, "She was also invited by Senior Sister Shen of Cangfeng Pavilion to participate in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm."

When Senior Brother Chu heard Lin Wanshuang say that this mere Qi Refining ant was her friend, he thought Chen Qian was a gigolo who lived off women, and he secretly looked down on him.

Little did he know, Lin Wanshuang's supplementary explanation almost choked him to death.

Shen Xianzi of Cangfeng Pavilion?
Even for Senior Brother Chu, that was a figure standing on a cloud, unattainable.

This Qi Refining ant... ah no, this young genius, what's his background that he was invited by Fairy Shen?
In addition, although he did not know the specific details of this exploration of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, he knew how much importance the sect attached to it.

They also knew that those selected by the sect to explore the secret realm were all top talents at the peak of Qi Refining.

I already had some vague suspicions in my mind—

These Qi Refining cultivators, as long as they don't die in the secret realm, will have no problem advancing to Foundation Establishment.

In light of this, Senior Brother Chu quickly adjusted his expression, hoping that the slight disdain he had inadvertently revealed would not be noticed by the two people opposite him.

Lin Wanshuang continued, "Has the Cangfeng Pavilion's team arrived?"

Senior Brother Chu quickly replied, "Fairy Shen has arrived and has led her team into the sect to rest!"

"Oh! That's great."

Lin Wanshuang turned to Chen Qian and smiled, "I'll send a message to Sister Qianxue and ask her to come out and have some fun!"

As he spoke, he led Chen Qian toward the sect.

Since Chen Qian was with Lin Wanshuang, Senior Brother Chu naturally didn't dare to question him. He waved for them to pass and let them enter the Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate.

As best friends, Lin Wanshuang and Shen Qianxue naturally had a connection talisman, making communication very convenient.

Because of the close proximity, the message traveled quickly, and Shen Qianxue said she would be there soon.

Chen Qian and his companion headed towards the Hundred Beasts Corridor, walking slowly while waiting, allowing Chen Qian, a first-time visitor, to take in the sect's scenery.

"Wanshuang, are you familiar with Master Qinghan?"

Chen Qian thought of Yan Ran and longed for her. Now that he had arrived at the Beast Taming Sect, he felt obligated to meet her and see how she was doing.

It seems that Lin Wanshuang wouldn't know Yan Ran, a newly recruited disciple, so she can only inquire about Luo Qinghan first.

“Uncle Luo, ah, I feel familiar with him,” Lin Wanshuang replied casually.

"Could you introduce us?" Chen Qian asked interjected.

"Ah! Do you want to see Uncle Luo?"

Lin Wanshuang glanced at Chen Qian with some surprise.

"Yes. There are some things I would like to ask Master Luo for advice on."

Chen Qian did not reveal his purpose immediately.

The sect places the greatest importance on the master-disciple lineage. Since Yanran has already become a disciple but has not yet graduated, if I want to see Yanran, I must obtain the approval of Master Luo.

“Uncle Luo holds a high position and has many affairs to attend to. Let me send you a message first. As for whether Uncle Luo will see you or not, I can’t guarantee it.”

Although Lin Wanshuang was curious about why Chen Qian wanted to see Qinghan Zhenren, she didn't press him for details.

But she now has a considerable fondness for Chen Qian and subconsciously doesn't want to refuse his request.

After speaking, he took out a communication talisman from his storage bag, closed his eyes, imprinted the information on it, and cast a spell to release it.

In the cultivation world, spiritual materials that can be used to refine sensing talismans are extremely precious. Even in a large mine, it is rare to find suitable spiritual materials to refine just a few pairs.

Therefore, even people of Lin Wanshuang and Luo Qinghan's status do not have a connection talisman and can only use a communication talisman.

However, Shen Qianxue, as a descendant of the Nascent Soul stage, and with the Cangfeng Pavilion being extremely wealthy, was not lacking in such items.

Similar to Chen Qian, Lin Wanshuang's sensing talisman was also a gift from Shen Qianxue.

As a sect with a history of ten thousand years, the Beast Taming Sect's grounds have been cultivated over a long period of time, revealing spiritual charm everywhere and creating beautiful scenery at every turn. Chen Qian was truly overwhelmed by the sights and lingered there, reluctant to leave.

"Chen Qian, why do you want to see Master Luo?" Lin Wanshuang, being a young girl at heart, couldn't help but ask the reason after developing feelings for Chen Qian.

She turned her head to the side, her beautiful eyes filled with pure curiosity.

"Well, that's a long story. Since Wanshuang is interested, I'll tell you."

Seeing that Lin Wanshuang was genuinely curious, and since it wasn't something that needed to be hidden, Chen Qian prepared to speak.

However, before the words were even finished, Shen Qianxue's aloof figure, as cold and proud as a solitary peak and a frozen pool, appeared in front of them.

"Sister Qianxue!"

"Senior Shen."

Upon seeing Shen Qianxue, the two immediately stopped talking and went to greet her.

The moment her figure appeared, it was as if the icy moon had shattered the sea of ​​clouds, its clear light instantly illuminating the mortal world.

Shen Qianxue was not wearing any skirts or hairpins, but was still dressed in a neat, short-sleeved outfit, the color of which was like the dark blue of distant mountains. It was probably woven from some kind of tough, spiritual silkworm silk, and it shimmered with a faint frosty luster.

This outfit concealed some of the gentleness of a woman, but it revealed the unique dashing and heroic spirit and upright character of a sword cultivator.

She was like a goddess from Mount Guye, with skin as white as ice and snow, and a graceful figure like a maiden.

As she approached, it was as if a peerless divine blade had cleaved through the turbid air of the mortal world, leaving behind a trail of fragrant breezes and auspicious mists.

"Wan Shuang, Chen Qian."

Shen Qianxue stopped three steps away from the two of them, her voice clear and cold like jade striking each other, but her eyes held a hint of gentleness that was hard to detect.

Her gaze swept over Lin Wanshuang and then naturally landed on Chen Qian.

"Sister Qianxue!"

Lin Wanshuang greeted her friend with a radiant smile and immediately went to greet her, affectionately taking Shen Qianxue's arm.

Shen Qianxue was clearly used to her intimacy and did not resist; the cold lines on her face seemed to soften a bit.

"Senior Shen," Chen Qian greeted with a smile and a cupped-hand salute.
