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

Chapter 184 Senior Brother Chen, you'll have no friends if you keep going like this!
"Moon Flower Slash!"

With a sharp cry, Liu Xuer unleashed an unprecedentedly cold moonlight from the dagger in her hand, and a condensed, almost tangible, arc-shaped blade of light shot out, slashing fiercely towards the designated location!

"Seven Deadly Sound Barrier!"

Han Yin'er's jade fingers suddenly swept across all the strings, and a powerful sound wave barrier, mixed with piercing shrieks and deep vibrato, exploded in front of her!

Just then, Yun Meng'er's Wind Ring Water Chain Array was also formed at this moment, taking control of the surrounding space.

The wolf pack was momentarily frozen in place.

"Boom! Sizzle! Buzz—!"

Several different sounds were mixed together at the same time.

The Moonlit Slash struck a Shadowclaw Wolf with perfect precision, which had just emerged from the shadows and was about to launch a sneak attack!

The Seven Fiends Sound Barrier enveloped the two half-retreated demon wolves, the invisible sound waves striking their fragile eardrums and internal organs like heavy hammers, causing them to howl in agony and fall to the ground, convulsing in pain.

A faintly visible water chain snapped the neck of a demon wolf.

This collaboration was truly a masterpiece.

The three women each unleashed their strongest attack!
They ripped a huge gap in the encirclement in an instant, killing the two demon wolves! The other two demon wolves were seriously injured!

Those who were seriously injured were unlikely to survive.

The remaining Shadowclaw wolves were stunned by this sudden and precise counterattack, their offensive stalled, and the encirclement was briefly thrown into chaos.

"Excellent!" Chen Qian exclaimed in admiration.

No wonder the three women were chosen to participate in this exploration of the secret realm; they certainly have the ability.

The Shadowclaw wolves let out a furious and unwilling roar, quickly regrouped, and launched another fierce attack.

The monsters within this secret realm are indeed somewhat different from those in the outside world.

They can easily get carried away and fight to the death.

In the outside world, the demon wolves would be more cunning. If they suffered slightly greater losses, they would temporarily avoid a direct confrontation and would not be so tough and reckless.

The three women, however, remained completely unafraid.

Their teamwork boosted morale, and with Chen Qian backing them up, they felt reassured and performed better and better.

Through several more skillful maneuvers, the number of demon wolves decreased by three.

By this point, more than half of the wolf pack had been killed or wounded, and they were no longer so stubborn.

They all retreated, preparing to escape.

The three women played very well, but they also expended a lot of energy.

Seeing that the wolves were about to escape, they were too exhausted to give chase, but they breathed a sigh of relief and felt weak all over.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qian revealed himself and with a few strides, he easily crushed the remaining six or seven wolves before they could run more than ten feet.

It's basically no different from crushing a few ants.

This left the three women completely dumbfounded.

Is it really that easy?
We're all at the late stage of Qi Refining, Senior Brother Chen, if you do this, you'll have no friends.

Seeing that Chen Qian had easily collected all the demon wolf corpses, the three women seemed to wake from a dream and came forward to greet him respectfully.

"Senior Brother Chen, are you really a Qi Refining stage cultivator?" Liu Xuer couldn't keep a secret, which was similar to Liu Yan.

"Genuine, no doubt about it." Chen Qian couldn't help but smile.

He really likes girls with that kind of personality.

It is casual, natural, relaxed, and innocent, yet not overly reckless.

"Senior Brother Chen, did you already know us?" Yun Meng'er asked curiously.

Although Grandmaster Yuechang instructed them to follow Chen Qian and obey his arrangements.

However, they had no contact with Chen Qian before entering the secret realm, so why did they always feel that Senior Brother Chen was very familiar with them?

“I didn’t know you before. But after Yue Chang gave me your magical aura, I became familiar with you.”

Chen Qian smiled.

“Uh…” Yun Meng’er was stunned.

Han Yin'er noticed that Senior Brother Chen addressed Grandmaster by his given name.

"So what are our plans next?" Yun Meng'er continued to ask.

She had come to terms with it and stopped worrying about how Chen Qian found them; she guessed he found them by his magical aura.

However, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would find it difficult to locate someone hundreds of miles away from such a vast secret realm using only a few traces of magical energy.

She could understand that Senior Brother Chen must have extraordinary abilities.

Otherwise, Grandmaster Yuechang wouldn't have asked him to take care of them.

They have already experienced firsthand the dangers here.

Moreover, the most dangerous situation is far from being encountered.

"In this way, you can freely search for materials and hunt monsters within the secret realm. Just be careful not to stray more than a hundred miles from me."

After a moment's thought, Chen Qian raised his hand and unleashed three chaotic marks.

They were attached to the wrists of the three women respectively.

The three women looked curiously at their wrists, where a cloud-like spiritual pattern appeared, which seemed very mysterious and profound.

“This is my personal mark. If you are more than a hundred miles away from me, this mark will become slightly warm, reminding you to turn back.”

"What about Senior Brother Chen?" Liu Xuer asked.

“My mission is different from yours,” Chen Qian said. “Naturally, I’m going to cause trouble for those minotaurs.”

"Oh." Liu Xuer was a little downcast.

The young girl was a little worried and discouraged because she couldn't help her senior brother Chen.

"Don't be discouraged," Chen Qian gently comforted Liu Xuer. "There are fewer of you, so just treat it as an opportunity to broaden your horizons and gain experience in the martial world."

"The Hidden Edge Pavilion has a sword formation, the Seven Stars Sect is skilled in formations, the Crimson Flame Sect has a combination weapon, and the Beast Taming Sect has brought Dao soldiers."

"They are well-prepared and can leverage their combined attack advantage; they were originally the main force in fighting the orcs."

“You all did a great job just now. If there weren’t so few of you, you wouldn’t be any worse than them.”

Hearing Chen Qian say this, the three women's moods improved considerably, and even Han Yin'er, who was usually stern, showed a slight smile.

"Then I'll be going now. You guys continue exploring to the north."

Upon hearing this, the three women were all somewhat reluctant to part.

Although they had cultivated to the peak of Qi Refining, they clearly rarely left the sect for training, and they were really young.

Even Yun Meng'er, who is the most mature and acts with grace and order, is a year younger than Chen Qian.

It can only be said that, given the resources of a celestial sect, those with exceptional talent are indeed far more powerful than cultivators from ordinary families.

"Don't worry, those orcs can't do anything to me."

"As long as you are not too far from me, I can take action at any time if anything happens."

Chen Qian turned around and raised his hand to wave.

He left them with a dashing silhouette and a message carried on the breeze—

"Everything is under control."

...After passing through the boundary gate, the cultivators and orcs from outside were randomly teleported to various places, which seemed to be completely random.

In reality, those who entered through the Beast Taming Sect's gate were mostly teleported to the south of the secret realm.

Similarly, most of the minotaur orcs were teleported to the north of the secret realm.

Therefore, in order to find out the minotaurs' movements as soon as possible, Chen Qian also took the initiative to search to the north.

If he were to run straight ahead at his speed, Chen Qian could traverse the entire secret realm in just half a day.

Unfortunately, he was scouting the situation, not traveling; he needed to explore a large area, not run from point to point.

Therefore, without Aka's assistance, Chen Qian alone might not even encounter a few minotaurs in a whole month.

Since the orcs only have five hundred slots, such a small number scattered across this area of ​​thousands of miles is like a few drops of water flowing into a large lake.

According to the intelligence provided by the Beast Taming Sect, the Minotaur's goal this time is to set up the base of a spatial array within the secret realm.

After several encounters between the two realms, they have discovered an unknown number of spatial nodes. This time, they will deploy the refined array bases on these nodes.

In this way, the fourth-tier minotaurs hiding in the outside world can activate the great formation and completely fix the passage between the two worlds.

Therefore, Chen Qian's task was very clear.

First, he had to find out the whereabouts of the minotaurs who had entered the secret realm, then wipe them out, and finally seize or destroy the array bases they carried.

If it is done successfully, then all of the opponent's schemes will naturally fall through.

In order to conserve spiritual energy, Chen Qian could not keep Aka fully monitoring the situation within a hundred miles around him.

Because the consumption is too great, with the second-tier superior grade of the Life Wheel Realm's spiritual veins, the monitoring function can only be continuously activated for a maximum of fifteen minutes without affecting the world's growth.

Therefore, the timing of this start is very important.

Chen Qian's strategy was to only send Aka to investigate when he sensed some special circumstances or intense fluctuations in the battle.

However, as they traveled north, they encountered nothing unusual, and the battles were limited to the native monsters of the secret realm.

Even though he had ventured a thousand or two thousand miles into the northern part of the secret realm, he still hadn't encountered a single minotaur.

You'll have even less chance of encountering people from other immortal sects; they're probably all gathering right now, and they're definitely mostly in the southern part of the secret realm.

Along the way, he encountered quite a few different kinds of monsters, many of which were species he had never heard of or seen before.

My knowledge has certainly broadened considerably.

They also saw many demon beast groups with the potential to be cultivated into Dao soldiers.

However, in order to continue his journey and conduct reconnaissance, he did not take action to make the arrest.

"Wandering around like a headless fly is not a solution."

Chen Qian pondered.

"Although the exact locations of the various spatial nodes in the secret realm are unknown, the central node must be Beast Origin Mountain in the center of the secret realm."

"This information has been confirmed by the Beast Taming Sect."

"The ultimate mission for all the immortal sects this time is to ambush the minotaurs at Beast Origin Mountain and prevent them from setting up an array base there."

“Once this is done, they will be unable to succeed.”

"If I can't find any trace of the Minotaur on the outskirts, I can just go to Beast Origin Mountain and wait for them to come to me."

Chen Qian secretly devised a plan of action.

But it will probably take many more days before the minotaurs and immortal disciples all gather at Beast Origin Mountain.

This period is a good time to capture more monsters.

Besides, we're already quite far from those three girls from Drunken Moon Palace. They've been following behind us as we explore, and they might gradually venture deeper into the northern part of the secret realm.

This way, they won't encounter the minotaurs themselves, but if they do, things will be bad.

Let's return to the south of the secret realm first. Since it's all unexplored territory and we don't have a specific goal, we can catch monsters anywhere.

With that in mind, Chen Qian simply turned around and returned to the south of the secret realm.

Even if we were to venture deep into the north to search for the Minotaur, we had to make it clear to the three girls first that they should just find a place to stay in the south.

Don't follow him.

Chen Qian closed his eyes and sensed his own Chaos Mark, discovering that the three girls hadn't dared to cross the central line of the secret realm and had come directly to the north.

Indeed, they understood these basic facts and knew that with the strength of the three of them, if they encountered a large force of minotaurs, they would surely die.

Since they wouldn't act rashly, Chen Qian wasn't in a hurry.

Recalling the places he had passed along the way, Chen Qian quickly selected his target.

Near the center line of the secret realm, there is a valley of fire, where a flock of fire crows inhabit.

This is a type of demon beast race that is extremely suitable for being cultivated into fire-type Dao soldiers.

Let's arrest these little cuties first.

Perfectly, Zi Yao's spiritual root attributes are mainly metal and water, making her suitable for cultivating Thunderscale Salamanders;

Qingman's spiritual root attributes are mainly wood and fire, so water salamanders are not suitable for her, but these fire crows are very suitable.

Having made up his mind, Chen Qian slowed down and leisurely returned south, heading straight for the Fire Valley where the fire crows were hidden.

And they even tricked Snowball away from the women, letting it do its old job of searching for treasure, otherwise it would all be too comfortable to be raised properly.

Snowball was also pleasantly surprised; it was naturally even happier to be able to stay by its owner's side.

To enhance his spiritual perception, Chen Qian summoned Xiao Yin as well. The two of them used the Soul Chain to raise their spiritual power to the level of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The powerful divine sense, like an invisible tentacle, meticulously swept through every corner it passed, sensing the hidden life force within.

Along the way, a man, a soul, and a rat strolled leisurely through the vast mountains and forests and strange landscapes.

After the enhancement of its bloodline and Daoist essence, Xue Tuan underwent significant changes, and its treasure-hunting ability was greatly strengthened, which truly gave Chen Qian many surprises.

They found many rare first and second-tier spiritual materials and herbs.

Xiao Yin was also very happy to be able to accompany the young master, as if she were traveling and enjoying the scenery. This was a rare experience for her.

"Squeak~"

Just after crossing a hill covered with jagged rocks, Xue Tuan pointed to the bushes not far away as a warning.

Xiao Yin spoke up to remind him, "Young master, it seems to be a little beast that is very good at hiding."

Chen Qian paused slightly.

He also found something unusual.

Behind the seemingly empty bushes ahead, there was an extremely faint ripple in the air, barely perceptible to the naked eye.

"Oh? Your talent for concealment is quite good, but unfortunately, your spiritual energy fluctuations gave you away."

Chen Qian smiled slightly, his body remaining still as he flicked his finger gently towards the center of the ripples.

"Boom!"

A soft gas explosion was heard.

The bushes shook violently, and a small beast resembling a raccoon, with pale purple fur and a glistening little snake in its mouth, froze, rolled its eyes, and tumbled straight out of its hiding state.

The glistening little snake also fell to the ground, writhing unwillingly.

"This is the Wind-Hidden Fox. Its speed and stealth abilities are quite good, which is exactly what we don't have in the Destiny Wheel Realm yet."

Chen Qian raised his hand and summoned an invisible stream of energy that swept up the unconscious Wind-Hidden Fox and the crystalline little snake, instantly sending them into the Five Qi Unbound Ruins of the Life Wheel Realm.
