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

Chapter 186 A loud bang in the sky, and the brand new Golden Bean makes its debut!

As Chen Qian sent out his divine thought, the exclusive space for the Golden Bean's advancement transformed into a seven-colored glow and dissipated.

Compared to before, the gold coins after successfully advancing are very different.

Especially at the very last moment of its advancement, it happened to run into Chen Qian visiting the Hundred Beast Corridor of the Beast Taming Sect, and unexpectedly obtained a massive amount of bloodline Dao essence.

Although these bloodlines and Daoist auras contain neither the Golden-Winged Roc nor the Ancient Dragon-Sparrow...

However, among them are true spirit birds such as the Three-Eyed Thunder Roc, the Wind-Splitting Azure Hawk, and the Five-Colored Luan Bird.

These precious bloodline essences not only greatly enhanced the Golden Bean's foundation but also added more directions to its bloodline evolution path.

With a deafening roar, the brand new Golden Bean has arrived!

Although it has only just advanced to the early stage of the second tier, its appearance and aura have already undergone earth-shattering changes.

Standing upright, it was over two zhang tall, with a wingspan exceeding eight zhang. Its feathers had changed from dark gold to bluish-gold, and were not only extremely tough but also gave people a sense of indestructibility.

The beak also became narrower and longer, with the tip slightly curved downwards, like a bloodthirsty scimitar.

The two pairs of sharp claws became even thicker, and with the slightest movement of the claw tips, golden wind and thunderous fire burst forth, crushing a nearby stone to pieces.

Most importantly, upon advancing to the second tier, the golden bean condensed its natal spirit core, unifying all the essence, energy, and spirit within its body.

As his pet beast, Chen Qian's divine sense penetrated Jin Dou's tough feathers, strong muscles and bones without any hindrance, and saw this incomparably beautiful natal spirit core.

It displays four colors: gold, cyan, blue, and red, like a crystal with four colors, constantly exuding a mysterious aura.

The Golden Bean also changed from having two attributes, Gold and Wind, to having four attributes, Gold, Wind, Thunder, and Fire, and possessed four types of innate divine abilities.

Golden Light Wheel Slash!

Sky-shattering storm!

Instantaneous Thunder!

Flame of Calamity!

Each of his supernatural abilities was extremely powerful, and coupled with Jin Dou's formidable physique, Chen Qian felt that Jin Dou, who had just advanced to the next level, was already no weaker than most late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Good! It wasn't a waste of all these resources I used."

Chen Qian used his divine sense to sense the growth of the golden bean from top to bottom, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, it was also summoned out of the Wheel of Fate.

As soon as Jin Dou came out, he was about to let out a long cry of excitement when Chen Qian quickly stopped him.

Stop joking, the minotaurs are on their way, we can't alert them now.

Besides, there's a large flock of fire crows not far away; those beasts are not to be trifled with.

The minotaur caravan from the northwest has already approached the volcanic valley by about fifty miles.

Without further ado, just as Chen Qian was about to secretly send a wave of "warm greetings" to the minotaur with Jin Dou...

"Master... wait a moment..."

A message suddenly came from Aka.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

This is very rare.

Although Aka possesses intelligence, it is not highly spiritual and never engages in futile efforts.

Since He took the initiative to send a message, He must have made some discovery.

“Master…there is a fourth-tier Divine Sense among the orcish troops…”

It turned out that Aka had noticed that next to the minotaur shaman on the Ironwood Flying Chariot, there was a giant pillar of black iron covered by a large animal hide.

This massive pillar of black iron is covered with various mysterious runes, forming intricate array patterns and emitting strong spatial fluctuations.

Even more astonishingly, Aka clearly sensed a wisp of condensed divine thought hidden at the core of the giant pillar!

Although it was only a wisp, it contained terrifying pressure, reaching the level of the fourth rank!
"Fourth-tier divine sense... profound runes... spatial array patterns... target: Fire Valley..."

Chen Qian instantly understood the minotaur's intention!
"So they came here to set up the foundation for the spatial array! The Volcanic Valley is one of the spatial nodes!"

The fourth-order divine sense hidden within the giant black iron pillar is, of course, far inferior to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Without a physical body, it can at most carry only a few strands of magical power.

However, the divine sense and magical power of the Nascent Soul level are absolutely the most deadly threat to Chen Qian at present.

Once he is discovered, he cannot withstand even the simplest blow from the opponent.

Therefore, it's not advisable to make a move now.

He immediately shared all the information, images, and his own judgments captured by Aka with Chen Yunxi in Xuanzhu Villa and Su Yueshang outside the boundary through the Taichu Order main card.

……

The Realm of Destiny, Mysterious Pearl Garden.

While Chen Yunxi was organizing the secret jade slips, the Primordial Token on her body suddenly became slightly hot and connected with her soul, transmitting the message sent by Chen Qian into her sea of ​​consciousness.

Chen Yunxi has just advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and his sea of ​​consciousness has only just been opened.

Therefore, she struggled to receive this large amount of information, and it took her the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before she could fully receive it.

She frowned slightly, then focused intently on analyzing the situation.

After merging with the Xuanhuang Qi, Zhen Yunxi's comprehension greatly increased, but he mainly focused on music and formations.

In addition, the current Destiny Wheel Realm has gathered the original Chen family, Wu family, and some array formation books provided by Su Yueshang from the Drunken Moon Palace, as well as the array formation cultivation insights of Chen Qian, Chen Yunyi, Su Yueshang, and others.

His experience in formations is quite profound, which has greatly improved Chen Yunxi's talent.

Chen Qian also hoped that she could analyze some of the array patterns on the Xuan Tie giant pillar and see if she could find a way to avoid the fourth-order divine sense.

Of course, Chen Qian also knew that Chen Yunxi's current accumulation was not enough, so he placed greater hopes on Su Yueshang.

They conveyed the message to Chen Yunxi, hoping she could study it and improve her skills in formations more quickly.

The runes and images on the giant black iron pillar, forming an array pattern, immediately captivated Chen Yunxi, plunging her into a state of blissful contemplation.

"My lord, the structure of these runes... the combination of array patterns, is so exquisite!"

Chen Yunxi's voice came through the Primordial Decree, carrying a hint of excitement like someone seeing a prey.

"Although I don't understand much of it yet, I can see that the core function of this array pattern is spatial anchoring and traction!"

"These orcs want to use these array bases as the core to build a super-large spatial coordinate tower that covers the secret realm! Their purpose... is probably to allow powerful orcs from outside the realm to lock onto and attract the secret realm space!"

Chen Qian was amazed that she could see all this in such a short time.

……

Outside the secret realm, Su Yueshang's temporary cave dwelling.

She was meditating with her eyes closed when she suddenly received a message from Chen Qian.

Because she was in the outside world, the flow of time for her was much slower compared to Chen Yunxi, whose experience was doubly accelerated. Therefore, although Su Yueshang received the message completely in an instant, the time that passed was not much faster than Chen Yunxi's.

After receiving the message, a solemn expression appeared on her beautiful face.

“My lord, the situation is a bit complicated. Sister Yunxi has a high talent for formations and has already figured out quite a bit. Let me add some more.”

Su Yueshang analyzed in a cold voice, "Although the divine sense in that Xuan Tie pillar is of extremely high quality, under the rules of the secret realm, it cannot actively release the destructive power of the Nascent Soul level, otherwise it will be wiped out by the backlash of the rules."

"But because of its superior nature, you cannot pose a threat to it at your current level of power."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "But the energy in this divine thought is not much; its power and attention can only be focused on stabilizing the spatial runes on the black iron pillar and preparing to activate the array patterns."

"In other words, as long as you don't actively attack this black iron pillar, you can basically ignore it."

"But we must also be wary, as the Tauren may have ways or methods to communicate with and activate it."

Su Yueshang carefully observed the situation of Akalincha for a while, and then pondered.

"My lord, having the minotaurs set up the array base might not be a bad thing for us!"

"If they can successfully set up the array base, the spatial structure of the entire secret realm will become unstable as a result."

Su Yueshang's voice became somewhat hesitant, but she still continued, "My lord, didn't you say that the Beast Taming Sect had already invited a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Hidden Edge Pavilion to come and intercept the fourth-tier expert on the Minotaur's side?"

“Yes. Wan Shuang mentioned it in a veiled way when she invited me to participate in the exploration of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm,” Chen Qian said.

"That will be our chance. If the True Monarch of Hidden Edge Pavilion can stop the fourth-tier Minotaur from eroding and controlling the secret realm."

"Then we only need to use the world power of the Destiny Wheel Realm to cover the central node, and perhaps... we can try to absorb the scattered fragments of spatial origin! If successful, it will greatly accelerate the growth of the Destiny Wheel Realm!"

"Of course, there are also considerable risks! This is equivalent to making a move right under the nose of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so we must pay special attention to the timing to avoid being exposed."

"If there's no good opportunity, just give up!"

"Yes, I'll be careful. With Aka's supervision, there's still a good chance of success."

"After all, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch cannot detect Aka's surveillance."

……

The Mysterious Realm of Ten Thousand Beasts, at the edge of the Fire Valley.

Chen Qian took a deep breath, the scorching air flowing through his chest, filled with the acrid smell of sulfur.

But his heart remained as calm as ice and snow.

Su Yueshang and Chen Yunxi's analysis confirmed his judgment and gave him a general plan for the next move.

After cutting off contact with Su Yueshang and Chen Yunxi, Chen Qian decisively abandoned his previous idea of ​​ambushing the Minotaur squad.

As for catching the fire crows, there's no time to spare; we can only wait and see.

Although these fire crows are limited by the rules of the secret realm and are only top-tier first-order demonic beasts, they possess a faint trace of the true fire of the sun within their bodies due to their rare three-legged golden crow bloodline.

What is the true fire of the sun?
That is one of the three great divine flames of heaven and earth in the cultivation world. It is extremely strong and yang, and can burn anything!

If this causes a disturbance among the fire crows, and their numbers become too large, it could be a serious problem.

The True Fire of the Sun doesn't care whether you have a second-tier physique or a Foundation Establishment divine consciousness; it can incinerate you!
Therefore, even with Chen Qian's current strength, he dared not underestimate these hundreds of hairy beasts.

Let's see how the Tauren handles this.

The minotaur squad was very fast. It was estimated that their plan was to quickly set up several spatial nodes on the periphery first, and then gather their forces at Beast Origin Mountain in the center of the secret realm.

The heavy footsteps approached from afar, interspersed with the occasional roars of demonic beasts, and the tremors of the ground became increasingly noticeable.

Their target was clear: they rushed straight towards a relatively flat area with exposed rocks at the entrance to the volcanic valley.

The leading minotaur leader growled and gave the order, and the troops quickly spread out to form a defensive perimeter.

The shaman, guarded by the three leaders, walked to the center of the area.

The shaman chanted incantations and slammed his bone staff heavily on the ground.

A circle of dark red light spread out from him, imprinting a totem pattern tens of feet in size on the ground.

Immediately, under the shaman's command, dozens of minotaurs sprang into action, forming a mysterious military formation and concentrating their vast blood and energy power onto the three minotaur leaders at the head of the formation.

Holy crap, these minotaurs truly live up to their reputation as a powerful fighting race; their methods are endless.

And the legacy of military formations?!

After absorbing countless streams of vital energy, the minotaur leader's body grew to over three zhang tall, making him look extremely powerful.

They carefully moved the giant iron pillar from the ironwood flying chariot and placed it upright in the center of the totem pattern on the ground.

The instant the giant pillar made contact with the totem, an invisible spatial ripple suddenly spread out, and the air in the entire volcanic valley seemed to freeze for a moment, and the cawing of the fire crows in the valley stopped for a brief moment.

A powerful and oppressive force emanated from the giant pillar, enveloping an area of ​​several hundred feet in radius.

Although this oppressive aura was kept extremely restrained to avoid violating the rules of the secret realm, its very existence was like a boulder pressing down on the hearts of all living beings around it.

Once the giant pillar was erected, the minotaur shaman began to dance and circle around the pillar and totem, chanting incantations of unknown meaning.

Each swing of its bone staff draws a wisp of scorching spiritual energy from the volcanic valley into the totem and pillar.

The runes on the giant pillar seemed to come alive, flickering and absorbing spiritual energy, while also slowly drawing on the earth vein power of the volcanic valley beneath their feet.

The whole process lasted for nearly two or three hours.

A hemispherical, pale red spatial energy shield, with a diameter of several tens of feet and centered on a giant pillar, slowly took shape, enveloping the giant pillar and the totem within it.

After completing all this, the shaman was drenched in sweat and his energy was noticeably depleted.

The leading minotaur leader bowed respectfully to the shaman, then turned and roared orders at the troops.

The team quickly regrouped.

All the orcs and monsters, including the three leaders and the shaman, numbering over a hundred, headed towards the center of the secret realm and departed in a group.

They didn't even spare a single person or beast?!
Chen Qian was somewhat surprised. After this node was set up, it was extremely conspicuous and completely uncovered, so the minotaurs didn't need to defend against it.

There's only one truth: they were extremely confident in their defenses of this spatial node.

I have absolute confidence that no force within the secret realm can destroy it.

Chen Qian instructed Aka to probe this node and analyze the condition of the giant pillar without disturbing the divine sense within it.

He restrained himself, like a ghost lurking in the red rocks, waiting patiently.

As for the minotaur group that had already left, he wasn't worried at all about them leaving his sensing range.

Aka has already absorbed a lot of the minotaur's life force, and with the presence of the golden bean, let the bullets fly a little longer.

My gaze swept across the volcanic valley billowing black smoke, where the fire crows seemed to have resumed their noisy antics.

Surprisingly, the minotaurs didn't even need to enter the valley, so they didn't have to clash with the fire crows at all.
