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

Chapter 185 "Master of Beast Stun", Minotaur Hundred-Man Team!

Chen Qian continued on his way and came to another swamp filled with the smell of sulfur.

In the center of the swamp, a monstrous beast resembling a giant pangolin, its entire body covered in thick bone armor, was lazily basking in the sun.

With each breath it took, the ground trembled slightly, radiating a powerful aura.

"Tortoise-shelled beast? This bone armor is quite interesting. Its defensive power is probably no weaker than that of an ordinary early Foundation Establishment stage demon beast, comparable to Little Golden Armor before its advancement."

Chen Qian stopped to observe with great interest.

They were very close, but the tortoise-shelled beast was completely unaware.

Very normal.

The monsters in this secret realm are most restricted in terms of their spirit and soul, while their physical bodies are generally quite strong.

After watching for a while, Chen Qian nodded in satisfaction.

Then, with a casual lift of his foot, he appeared above the tortoise-shelled beast's head and gently stomped down.

"boom!"

An overwhelming and irresistible shockwave emanated from the soles of his feet and struck the head of the tortoise-shelled beast.

Before the tortoise-shelled beast could figure out what was going on, it was completely dizzy and disoriented.

"Thick-skinned and tough, he can take a beating; he's a good meat shield prospect."

Chen Qian nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, he also took the dizzy giant into his realm.

It was placed in the Misty Reed Marsh.

And so, the man, the soul, and the rat traveled slowly for several days, covering more than a thousand miles, and gradually approached the Fire Valley where the Fire Crow was located.

They were almost at their destination, so the treasure hunt was put on hold. Chen Qian tossed the somewhat unsatisfied snowball back to Xuanzhu Villa.

We won't need it anymore.

The closer you get to the volcanic valley, the more barren the landscape becomes, with holes scattered across the surface.

This is an area filled with red sandstone.

Suddenly, a series of chilling rustling sounds began.

Thousands upon thousands of enormous scorpions, each the size of a palm, fiery red in color, and with gleaming blue venomous stingers at their tails, appeared in droves on the sandstone ground ahead.

They surged out of the hole like a crimson tide, and many scorpions aimed their tails, which gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light, at him!

"Fire Cloud Scorpions? They are numerous, highly venomous, and their swarm attacks are formidable."

Xiao Yin also appeared beside her and continued, "Yes, young master. This is a rare insect at the peak of the first tier."

With a slight thought, Chen Qian unleashed a layer of hazy, chaotic mist that instantly spread out from him, completely enveloping the area spanning hundreds of feet.

In the mist, time seemed to stand still.

The swarm of fiery cloud scorpions, which was ferocious and aggressive just a second ago, suddenly seemed to be put on pause by an invisible hand.

It maintained its attack stance, yet froze in place, even the eerie blue light on its tail needle dimming.

"A potential asset for group attack Taoist soldiers, let's acquire it."

"Unfortunately, no one in the family knows how to control insects."

As the clouds rolled in, the dense swarm of fiery cloud scorpions on the ground vanished into thin air, even taking with them a considerable amount of crimson sandstone.

After doing all this, Chen Qian seemed to casually brush the dust off his clothes, his steps still relaxed and carefree.

"Young master, you are amazing!" Xiao Yin clapped her hands and laughed, her eyes filled with tiny red hearts.

The reason he was able to subdue this group of Fire Cloud Scorpions so easily was because these insects had weak spiritual power and were completely restrained by his Profound Yin Refining Spirit Technique.

With a single, dazzling wave, they were all taken care of.

Chen Qian was actually quite exhausted, and felt slightly dizzy.

Fortunately, with Xiao Yin's blessing, the strength and coverage of his divine sense were greatly enhanced, which enabled him to achieve this effect.

If you're dealing with normal demonic beasts, even those at the lowest first-tier level, you'd be pretty much at your limit if you took down a hundred or so at once.

Not far away, the outline of the volcanic valley, billowing black smoke and with faint traces of dark red lava flowing through it, was already clearly visible.

The air grew increasingly scorching, and the faint, low cawing of crows could be heard coming from within the valley.

Chen Qian thought for a moment and realized that he was currently experiencing significant mental exhaustion and needed to rest first.

He swayed and suddenly increased his speed, first finding a secluded spot nearby.

After having Aka monitor the surrounding area for several miles and finding nothing unusual, he and Xiaoyin flashed back to the Realm of Fate.

Let's rest for a night and talk about it when we've recovered our energy and spirit.

……

Upon returning to Xuanzhu Villa, Chen Qian discovered that Yunxi and Momo, along with four maids, had gone out to cultivate the spirit fields.

Only three pregnant concubines remained to accompany and care for Xiao Yi'an and Xiao Lingxi.

The child is still young and not yet at the stage of running around, so taking care of him is very simple.

Talking, telling stories, playing with toys—time flies by.

There are no other servants available for the time being, so the women have to do everything themselves.

Of course, Chen Qian could accomplish the more difficult, dirty, and tiring tasks by manipulating the world.

However, this would make life very boring.

The women didn't want Chen Qian to do that either.

Life becomes more interesting only when you acquire things through your own efforts.

Chen Qian looked at the plump and beautiful Su Jin with affection in his heart. Instead of leaving, he went over and picked her up and put her on his lap, along with the little Ling Xi in her arms.

"Ah, young master."

Although Su Jin had been pregnant for almost a year and had spent a considerable amount of time with Chen Qian, her youthful appearance remained unchanged.

"Still calling him 'Young Master'?" Chen Qian said with a smile.

"Ah~ Husband." Su Jin lowered her head shyly, her face flushed.

"It's alright. You can call me 'Young Master' if you like."

"Ah."

After being taken as a concubine by Chen Qian, Su Jin had already changed her address.

The "young master" that just slipped out was simply because Chen Qian suddenly picked him up, and he was caught off guard and blurted it out.

This also shows that Su Jin still considers herself Chen Qian's personal maid, and her original intention has never changed.

Just like how she still called Yunxi "Miss Yunxi" even though Yunxi said it many times, she never changed her way of addressing her.

"It doesn't really matter what we call each other. We're family, so do whatever makes you comfortable."

"Ah."

Chen Qian shook his head.

This little girl, except when she's accompanying him in practicing alchemy and weapon crafting, is generally quiet and doesn't express her own thoughts, nor does she have many desires in life.

She had long been accustomed to putting Chen Qian and Yun Xi first, considering everything from their perspective, which made her seem to lack a sense of self. But this was the state she was most comfortable in.

Chen Qian didn't want women to have too much ambition, not because he was afraid he couldn't support it, but because women would be very tired.

But he also hopes that women can all have their own space.

Therefore, he hoped to gradually change Su Jin, so that she wouldn't be so apathetic.

However, these things take time and can only be done gradually.

The future is long, and people will always grow.

After a leisurely day and night, enjoying the gentleness, Young Master Chen reappeared in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

If this situation were to become known, he would definitely become the public enemy of the entire cultivation world.

You can come out to explore a secret place, bring your family along, and enjoy the service of beautiful wives and concubines. Isn't that infuriating?

……

The volcanic valley was exactly the same as it had been a day ago, but...

Just as Chen Qian was about to catch the crow, his innate divine soul suddenly issued a faint warning.

He paused, then focused his mind on the Primordial Decree tablet in his sea of ​​consciousness: "Aka, get to work. Check the northwest direction for any signs of trouble."

"Yes... Master..."

Under Aka's control, the Soul-Observing Mirror opened a channel within Chen Qian's divine sense range, using the power of the Destiny Wheel Realm to radiate its perception towards the northwest direction of the Fire Valley.

Soon, the monitoring screen unfolded within Chen Qian's sea of ​​consciousness.

About 70 or 80 miles to the northwest, a group of about 100 minotaurs is marching rapidly, and their destination is very likely this volcanic valley.

Judging from their speed, they should arrive here in no more than 15 minutes.

Chen Qian's pupils contracted slightly.

He finally saw these lively orcs with his own eyes, instead of just learning about them from intelligence reports.

On the crimson earth, the minotaurs, accompanied by a large number of their tamed monsters, were charging in a mighty force.

Aside from having a bull's face and horns, this race is not significantly different from humans in terms of physical appearance.

But his height... is much taller than that of ordinary humans!

An adult Tier 1 Minotaur is about 10 feet tall. Once their cultivation reaches the peak of Tier 1, their height can grow to nearly 20 feet.

The second-tier minotaur is between three and five zhang tall.

A third-tier minotaur is over ten zhang tall!

Therefore, judging their strength is very simple: just look at their height.

It is said that even the lowest level of a fourth-tier minotaur is seventy or eighty feet tall.

A true behemoth!
The three leaders of this group of minotaurs were exceptionally strong, standing over two zhang tall, clearly not ordinary creatures.

Their muscles were bulging like cast iron, covered with thick, dark brown fur, and their huge, curved horns gleamed with a metallic gleam. Their breath carried a faint white mist.

Clad in heavy, dark gold metal plate armor, with ancient totem patterns engraved on the armor, its defensive capabilities were clearly astonishing.

Holding a giant axe or heavy hammer the size of a door panel, the blade and hammerhead gleamed coldly, clearly a weapon capable of shattering armor and bones.

Behind them were hundreds of minotaur warriors, each nearly two zhang tall.

Although he was slightly smaller than the three leaders, his fierce spirit was in no way diminished.

They were uniformly equipped, wearing tough leather armor inlaid with metal plates, carrying huge totem poles or warhammers on their backs, and short-handled battle axes and throwing spears hanging at their waists.

Every minotaur's eyes were filled with savagery and fighting spirit, their steps were heavy and powerful, and with each step they could feel the ground tremble.

The procession was interspersed with dozens of strangely shaped monsters, including well-known ferocious beasts such as the Rock Armor Rhinoceros, Flying Fire Lizard, and Blue Shadow Ring Serpent.

These demonic beasts were generally at the peak of the first rank, and should have been the most unruly, but at this moment they were like loyal hunting dogs, obediently following the minotaur, their eyes filled with fear and obedience.

"Wow...he looks pretty strong!"

Chen Qian felt a chill run down his spine.

Humans inevitably feel a sense of oppression when faced with enormous creatures.

Even if Chen Qian's strength far surpasses Chen Qian's, he still cannot be completely immune to this emotion.

The three leading minotaurs exuded extremely violent blood energy, and their strength was probably more than just reaching the threshold of a second-tier body refiner!
Add to that the powerful, tamed demonic beasts, and this hundred-man team should be able to sweep aside most of the teams composed of immortal sect disciples in the secret realm during skirmishes.

Furthermore, their berserk and bloodthirsty talents are their trump cards for turning the tide in desperate situations; once they fight desperately, the consequences are unpredictable.

In the very center of the procession was a huge ironwood flying chariot, pulled by a ferocious fire-breathing giant lizard. It moved at an astonishing speed, traversing mountains and valleys as if it were flat ground.

A minotaur shaman sat in the carriage. He was relatively short and thin, wearing a leather robe covered with blood-red runes, and holding a bone staff with a huge minotaur skull embedded at the top.

A black bone tube, about a foot long, hung from his waist. Its surface was engraved with mysterious runes and was emitting a faint, bloody stench that made one want to vomit.

It is said that there is a saying among the orcs: Orcs will never be slaves, unless the shamans are extinct!
With or without a shaman, the orcs' combat strength is vastly different!

The abilities of shamans vary greatly among different orc races, but what they all have in common is that they are all exceptionally strange and powerful.

As for this Tauren shaman, it can eliminate the aftereffects of a Tauren using their innate supernatural powers.

This means that a tauren army commanded by a shaman can enter a state of berserk and bloodlust indefinitely, doubling their combat power far beyond just a matter of time!

The black bone tube hanging from the shaman's waist contains the blood of beasts used for casting spells. It is extremely precious and is made from the essence of various powerful demonic beasts and the secret techniques passed down in shamanic tradition.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to be able to kill a Tauren Shaman. This kind of dangerous element must be eliminated immediately."

Over the past few days, Chen Qian has learned a lot about the beast race through Su Yueshang and Shen Qianxue, and he understands that the conflict between humans and beasts is a life-or-death struggle between races, which allows no mercy.

Orcs and monsters are not the same thing.

Before transforming into human form, monsters generally act only according to their survival instincts and do not specifically target humans.

Monsters will also devour and kill each other to compete for living space.

But orcs are different; they are also an intelligent race and view humans as food and objects of enslavement.

If they gain power, humanity will face annihilation.

Therefore, it is a responsibility that Chen Qian, as an elite of the human race, must shoulder to strangle and suppress them and drive them out of the human territory.

Therefore, facing such a formidable lineup of minotaurs, Chen Qian showed no fear, only excitement.

These guys finally allow him to stretch his muscles a bit, instead of having every battle ended in one go.

Being invincible is great, but sometimes it doesn't feel quite satisfying.

"It's a pity that this little bird is still not out of the pass, otherwise we could let it out and have some fun."

Chen Qian's divine sense arrived at the Taichu Peak of the Destiny Wheel Realm, and he looked at the advancement space specially opened up for the Golden Bean, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"You've been sleeping for months! Why aren't you out yet!"

Just as he was about to withdraw his divine sense, he heard Jin Dou's thoughts: "Master, I'll be done soon, wait for me!"

"Huh?! You've advanced?"

Chen Qian was overjoyed; the advancement had come at just the right time.
