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

Chapter 181 The Old Man and the Young Girl, Welcoming Valley, Female Disciple of Drunken Moon Palace!

Chen Qian and his two companions set off again, heading deeper into the Beast Taming Sect.

This corridor of beasts held no value for Chen Qian, so he naturally stopped there.

……

Ten thousand feet above the Beast Taming Sect's headquarters, there is a dark sea of ​​clouds that, despite being surrounded by fierce winds, never disperses.

The sea of ​​clouds covered an area of ​​about several tens of miles, which was insignificant compared to the Wanling Mountains, which spanned thousands of miles.

Being so high in the sky, it was almost impossible for lower-level cultivators below to see it with the naked eye.

At this moment, in the center of the inky sea of ​​clouds, there was a small stone table and two small stone stools.

On the stone pier, sitting opposite each other, was an old man in a black robe with a white face and a long beard, and a young girl in plain clothes with her face covered by a light veil.

The old man in black robes had just withdrawn his gaze, but the faint smile on his face remained, clearly indicating that he was in a good mood, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

The girl in plain clothes revealed only a pair of bright, star-like eyes and delicate, arched eyebrows resembling distant mountains.

Although her face was veiled by a light gauze, anyone who saw her could immediately tell that she was an absolute beauty.

Because she is so beautiful, people who see her always overlook her terrifying strength because of her beautiful appearance, so she must conceal it.

Otherwise, she would always attract unwanted attention from suitors, which she could easily eliminate with a wave of her hand, but would still be quite annoying.

"Fellow Daoist Wuxiang, is this young man the variable you spoke of?"

The girl's voice was like a rare orchid in a secluded valley, making people forget the mundane world upon hearing it.

"good."

The pale-faced old man stroked his beard and smiled, his tone revealing a sense of relief.

"In the countless futures I have foreseen, whenever this young man appears, the plots of those orc bastards will surely be thwarted."

"My fellow Daoist and I only need to disrupt the spacetime around the secret realm to prevent the old ox on the other side from interfering in the secret realm."

……

Soon, Chen Qian and the two women arrived at a valley, which was the place where the Beast Taming Sect received guests, called Welcoming Valley.

This valley is clearly not naturally formed, but rather cleverly carved out of the mountainside. Overall, it appears as a huge circular depression.

The surrounding area is a relatively flat hillside covered with lush ancient trees and exotic flowers, forming a natural circular barrier that isolates it from the noise of the outside world.

The valley is filled with spiritual energy, which is more concentrated and gentle than the outside world. It carries the fragrance of grass and trees and the unique scents of rare birds and animals, which can invigorate the spirit.

Along the edge of the valley, nestled against the mountainside, are buildings of varying styles scattered in a pleasing and orderly fashion.

These buildings are mainly constructed from huge logs, bluestone, and some kind of tough vine. The roofs are covered with shimmering glazed tiles, and the eaves and brackets are decorated with the heads of auspicious beasts, which not only show their ancient and heavy style, but also reveal a unique wild beauty.

This building is Qiyun Inn, where guests can rest.

The inn has special animal enclosures and perches for spirit birds, clearly taking into account the spirit animal companions that guests might bring.

After all, unless you're traveling or your spirit beast needs to rest, you won't keep your spirit beast in your spirit beast pouch for long periods of time.

Chen Qian knew that Su Yueshang had already arrived at the Beast Taming Sect when he was comprehending the Dao of Bloodline in the Hundred Beasts Corridor, and was currently resting in a room at Qiyun Inn.

Because both of them possessed the Primordial Token, it was as if they had a WeChat chat box right in front of them, making communication extremely convenient.

However, he could not visit them directly, since their relationship was unknown to others, and it would be inappropriate for them to have any direct interaction under the public eye.

One is a dazzling Core Formation cultivator from a major sect, and the other is an unknown Foundation Establishment cultivator from a minor Qi Refining cultivator family. It's only natural that they have nothing in common.

As soon as Chen Qian stepped into the square of Welcoming Valley—Beast Plain, he keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere in the air.

At this moment, he was not the only outsider in the valley, but all the immortal sect teams participating in this exploration of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm had arrived.

These teams, scattered across the Hundred Beasts Plain, attracted the attention of many disciples and servants of the Beast Taming Sect.

There were few people in Zuiyue Palace, only four including the leader Su Yueshang, and they were all female cultivators. They were still in their rooms at Qiyun Post Station.

At this moment, the most eye-catching group on the field was a group of sword cultivators dressed in light blue and white outfits, numbering about several dozen.

Most of them were calm and reserved, seemingly standing casually in a corner of the square, yet they subtly formed a formation that complemented each other and was both offensive and defensive.

He was a disciple of Cangfeng Pavilion, the number one immortal sect in Li Kingdom.

Each of them stood as straight as a javelin, exuding an invisible sharpness.

This sharpness is not ostentatious, but it is like a peerless sword hidden in its sheath, not yet unleashed, but once it is triggered, it will unleash a terrifying sword aura.

Leading the group was a young man with a cold face and sharp, eagle-like eyes; he was none other than Li Juefeng, the champion of this year's Hidden Edge Pavilion Qi Refining Realm Competition.

His gaze swept across the square, and it was as if countless tiny sword energies were flashing through the void.

In contrast, there was another group of Taoists dressed in dark blue robes with intricate silver star patterns embroidered on the lapels—the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect.

There were dozens of them, but each of them possessed an ethereal quality, carrying a profound sense of insight into the secrets of the universe.

The leading old Taoist priest was Xuanwei Zhenren, an inner elder of the Seven Stars Sect.

He had a slender face, held a whisk in his hand, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if sensing the heavens and stars. His aura resonated subtly with the spiritual energy in the valley.

The young Taoist priests behind him all had bright eyes, and some of them had compasses hanging from their waists, with the needles slowly rotating on their own.
Someone was twirling several ancient jade star tokens between their fingertips, which emitted a warm luster;
Another person who particularly caught the eye was a young Taoist nun with an exceptionally beautiful appearance and a pure aura.

She stood with her eyes closed, and faint, almost imperceptible starlight flickered above her head, as if she were deducing something.

All the members of the Seven Stars Sect subtly surrounded her, demonstrating the young Taoist nun's distinct status compared to the others.

The last group of people all exuded a sense of heat and high spirits.

Most of them were dressed in short, bright red outfits, with bulging muscles and a fierce aura. They were disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect, known for their weapon crafting and domineering fire techniques.

They were the largest group, numbering at least a hundred. Their red outfits were not ordinary items, but rather a special fabric that shimmered with a metallic sheen, seemingly tanned from the hide of some kind of fire-attribute spirit beast.

What is most striking is that almost everyone of them carries a huge, dark metal weapon case on their backs!

The box is engraved with complex runes, and faint fluctuations of fire-attribute energy can be heard emanating from it.

Anyone familiar with them knows that it clearly contains the famous combination device of the Crimson Flame Sect.

Although Qi Refining disciples can only control combination artifacts at the level of magic weapons, as long as they can unleash their power, killing second-tier targets beyond their own level is no problem.

Leading the group was a burly man with a full beard and an iron tower-like build; he was none other than Elder Hong Lie, the War Hall Elder of the Crimson Flame Sect.

He was laughing loudly at that moment, the sound like muffled thunder rolling across the Hundred Beasts Plain, as he spoke with True Person Xuanwei, his voice so loud that it made people's eardrums buzz.

This is normal.

Only the two of them were Core Formation cultivators present; the others were not worth their time or attention.

The person in charge of receiving guests from the Beast Taming Sect was also a Core Formation Realm cultivator, but he was not in the square at the moment.

I just received a notice from the sect that I need to temporarily leave to gather the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.

Although the disciples of Cangfeng Pavilion are powerful, without Shen Qianxue present, these Qi Refining sword cultivators are not even worth the attention of the two Core Formation True Persons.

The people on the field, along with Chen Qian and the elite disciples of the Beast Taming Sect who would soon arrive, constituted the core force that had gathered in the Myriad Beast Secret Realm to confront the Minotaur Beastman race. Chen Qian, who had just arrived, stood at the entrance of the Hundred Beast Plain, observing silently, fully aware of the situation.

These people were all top talents in the Qi Refining stage, carefully selected and nurtured by their respective sects.

Although they already knew that the opponents in this secret realm were very powerful and terrifying.

However, as Qi Refining stage prodigies from various sects, they generally possess a confident and high-spirited air befitting young geniuses.

For these geniuses, since they've never fought each other, it's as if their opponents are nothing but dirt chickens and clay dogs.

Even if they are the legendary minotaurs, so what?

Hearing that the Minotaur orcs were born with superhuman strength, thick skin, and were fearless, and that they also possessed strange innate abilities and the capacity to control ferocious beasts, only fueled their fighting spirit.

Even if we hear that the disciples of various sects suffered heavy losses when they entered the secret realm three hundred years ago, so what?

They are quite different from their predecessors three hundred years ago.

At this moment, Yingke Valley appears calm and undisturbed.

But beneath this calm lies a turbulent undercurrent, the suppressed fighting spirit of the young powerhouses, their trepidation about the unknown secret realm, and the solemnity of those who bear heavy responsibilities and are about to embark on a journey of blood and fire.

Upon entering the Welcoming Valley, Shen Qianxue took the lead and walked alone towards the Hidden Edge Pavilion's group.

As the leader of the sect, she could no longer stand with Chen Qian at this time and had to return to the team to prepare for departure.

Chen Qian's unexpected "epiphany" ended at just the right time, coinciding perfectly with the time for the assembly and departure.

Lin Wanshuang continued to stay by Chen Qian's side.

As a special participant, and invited in Shen Qianxue's name, having Lin Wanshuang accompany her is a way of showing hospitality, which is understandable.

But the disciples of the major sects on Hundred Beast Plain didn't think that way.

Because both Shen Qianxue and Lin Wanshuang are well-known figures among the younger generation, and many people know them.

Shen Qianxue, known as the Moon-Shining Fairy, has become the leader of the Foundation Establishment female sword cultivators in the Hidden Edge Pavilion.
Although Lin Wanshuang had only recently established her foundation, she had been training all over the country in the past few months, and before she knew it, the name of Fairy Butterfly had become extremely well-known.

With two exceptionally beautiful women, each with extraordinary cultivation and unique charm, appearing as ethereal as immortals, accompanying Chen Qian, it was impossible for him not to attract attention.

Suddenly, the scene became somewhat turbulent, with low murmurs of discussion rising from all sides.

"Are these two the Moon Fairy and the Butterfly Fairy?"

"Who is that man? He looks unfamiliar, and his cultivation level doesn't seem very high."

Do you know which sect these disciples belong to?

"They must be from the Beast Taming Sect, right? They're definitely not from my Crimson Flame Sect."

"You people from the Crimson Flame Sect look like complete bumpkins. What do you have to do with that person's appearance and demeanor?"

"Hey buddy, are you trying to practice your manners by talking like that?"

"Let's practice then! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

……

With so many people talking, the discussion gradually went astray.

A Taoist priest from the Seven Stars Sect and a disciple from the Crimson Flame Sect were on the verge of a fight, seemingly about to come to blows.

"Silence! What kind of behavior is this?"

"Li Yu! Come back! Do you want to become a laughing stock?"

The two Core Formation cultivators from the Seven Stars Sect and the Crimson Flame Sect were both trying to figure out Chen Qian's identity, but before they could even make a clue, their two disciples were almost fighting each other.

He had to speak up quickly to stop them, and his face darkened for a moment.

Shen Qianxue walked to the front of her own group, and the Qi Refining sword cultivators stepped forward one after another, bowing respectfully, their faces filled with intense curiosity, eager to hear their Martial Uncle Shen explain something.

Of course, they didn't dare ask directly.

You can only hint at it with facial expressions.

Shen Qianxue wouldn't pay them any attention. In front of her own disciples, or rather, in most situations, she was very aloof.

Moreover, her aloofness is not an act; it's simply her natural personality.

As for Chen Qian's identity, she felt there was no need to explain it to these people.

Chen Qian's strength is clearly in a class of its own.

Once inside the secret realm, he only needs to act alone.

However, these disciples must support and cooperate with each other in order to deal with the minotaur orcs.

These are two lines that do not need to intersect.

Just then, Su Yueshang, accompanied by three Qi Refining disciples from the Drunken Moon Palace, also emerged from Qiyun Post Station.

Their appearance was like a refreshing breeze sweeping across the slightly sweltering Hundred Beasts Plain, instantly attracting everyone's attention, and even the slight tension between the Crimson Flame Sect and the Seven Star Sect vanished without a trace.

Drunken Moon Palace only accepts female cultivators, and has very high requirements for spiritual root attributes, only accepting disciples with pure spiritual roots such as water, wood, ice, yin, and wind.

The three girls who stepped out at this moment were the best among them.

They each possessed a unique temperament, yet all shared the pristine purity and clarity characteristic of Zuiyue Palace, like the first snow on a mountain peak or a newly blooming orchid in a secluded valley.

The person in the lead was as slender as a willow swaying in the breeze, wearing a light blue floor-length dress.

Her skin was fair and almost translucent, her eyebrows and eyes gentle and serene, as if shrouded in the misty rain of Jiangnan, her aura like a deep pool of still water, seemingly capable of containing all things, her every move graceful and serene like a delicate flower reflected in water.

What is most eye-catching is the exquisite jade plate she holds in her hand, which seems to contain a pool of flowing stardust.

She was the most skilled in formations among the disciples on this trip, and her name was Yun Meng'er.

Following closely beside Yun Meng'er was a girl dressed in a gradient gauze dress of pale yellow and light green, as lively as a forest sprite.

Her eyes were bright as stars, and her gaze held an innocent and curious quality, her lips naturally upturned with a faint smile.

Her movements possessed a natural rhythm, and several small jade bells engraved with runes were tied around her waist; these were the magical artifacts she used to perform illusions and dance-like movements.

Her name was Liu Xuer, and her skill in the Enchanting Butterfly Dance was unmatched among her peers.

The last girl in the group had the most aloof and ethereal air about her.

She wore an elegant moon-white belted long gown, covered with a layer of gossamer-thin ice-silk gauze, her figure as upright as a plum blossom in the snow.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, like a jade sculpture, and she was surrounded by a faint aura of coldness and ethereal beauty.

Her most unique magical implement was not held in her hand, but rather a small, exquisite, pure white jade vertical harp, which hung diagonally at her side like a belt.

Her name is Han Yin'er. She is skilled in music, and her melodies contain the power of ice and the ability to bewitch the gods.
