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

Chapter 187 Catching Crows~ Central Area of ​​the Secret Realm, Star Che
A few breaths later, Aka had completed a detailed investigation of the situation.

“Master… the divine sense within the Xuan Tie Pillar… has fallen into slumber… and will awaken only when… certain conditions are met.”

"This light shield... its protective power... is close to the limit of the third tier... with the master's... current strength... it cannot break through it."

"This space... is affected by the forcibly added spatial array patterns... and is in a state of constant fluctuation... which is incompatible with the original space."

Chen Qian was not surprised to receive this information, as he had already anticipated it.

Since the Tauren didn't leave a single soldier for defense, their defensive capabilities must be able to withstand the test.

They simply did not believe that anyone in this secret realm could break through this protective shield.

Of course, this is indeed the case.

To stop them, we must do it before they lay down their defenses.

It's understandable that the fourth-order divine sense fell into slumber. Establishing this array foundation was no easy task, and most of the energy consumed came from this fourth-order divine sense.

Now, this divine sense is basically just an empty shell. It can only awaken and play its final role after all the array bases have been laid.

After the secret realm space is affected by the array base, it will generate spatial fluctuations and release spatial fragments and spatial origins, which Su Yueshang had already anticipated.

Since that's the case, we can only ignore the array base for now and let them set up all the outer array bases.

All that's needed is to eventually take control of the situation at the Central Beast Origin Mountain.

It is estimated that the Minotaur are currently dispersing into teams of a hundred men each, heading to various spatial nodes on the periphery to set up array bases.

After the disciples of various immortal sects have gathered, they will gradually explore towards the center, where they may encounter minotaur groups at any time.

According to Chen Qian's estimation, unless the major immortal sects cooperated and used their overwhelming numerical advantage to fight against a hundred-man team, they would be in serious trouble.

Otherwise, they would never be a match for the minotaurs.

Once he's dealt with the fire crows inside, he'll definitely go and wipe out the group of minotaurs who just left.

As for the other minotaur teams scattered throughout the secret realm, Chen Qian is not a babysitter for the disciples of the immortal sects. If he cannot find them, then they can only fend for themselves.

As for Beast Origin Mountain in the central area, according to previous intelligence, it will probably appear about half a month after the secret realm opens.

It is precisely because this period is a weak period for the secret realm, and the power of the rules in all aspects is relatively weak, that outside cultivators have the opportunity to enter and explore this place.

Once the one-month opening period ends and the rules of the secret realm return to normal, all these outside cultivators will be expelled.

The spatial fluctuations in the central area of ​​the secret realm are still too intense to enter at this moment.

The special resource that the Beast Taming Sect most desires—Blood Crystals—is only produced within the Beast Origin Mountain, which is formed once every three hundred years after the intersection of the two realms.

We've only been in the secret realm for three or four days now, and there's still a long time before the central area appears.

There's still plenty of time to wander around, and I should be able to kill one or two groups of minotaurs.

The most urgent task is to take these fire crows first, and then hurry up and hunt down those minotaurs.

"Aka, conduct a thorough investigation of the Fire Raven tribe within the Volcano Valley."

"It's...master."

Soon after, Aka's mental fluctuations returned, carrying a precise analysis of the valley's structure.

“Master…Volcano Valley…is a three-pronged structure…The raven’s nest is on the east rock wall…the cave…137 adult ravens…outside the cave…adult ravens on guard…chicks…gathering…southwest corner of the valley floor…”

Chen Qian nodded; the information was clear, and he understood the terrain.

Chen Qian instantly sketched out a plan in his mind.

"very good."

Chen Qian's lips curled up slightly, his eyes flashing with the sharp glint of a hunter locking onto a target; his own strength was naturally overwhelming.

If these beasts' true solar fire hadn't been so violent, and their souls weren't so weak, it would have been as easy as catching a scorpion.

When they encounter less powerful monsters while searching for treasures later, the women of the Destiny Wheel Realm can also come out and practice, gaining some practical combat experience.

"Xiao Yin".

"Son."

A cool, clear female voice rang out from the shadows behind him.

"The Fire Crow's Fire Yang True Fire is somewhat effective against you, so don't get too close. Just use the Profound Yin Thorn to attack from a distance."

"Although the Fire Crow's soul is yang in nature and has some resistance to the Xuan Yin Thorn, the difference between their souls and yours is still too great. It's easy to stun them."

"Yes, young master." Xiao Yin nodded in agreement.

Her voice was clear, cool, and resolute.

Dealing with the souls of these first-tier demonic birds was a piece of cake for her, even though their attributes were incompatible.

"Golden Bean!" Chen Qian called out in a low voice, his voice filled with anticipation.

This is Little Broken Bird's second-stage debut.

"Wow—!"

A low whistle that could shatter metal and split rocks suddenly rang out!

Ripples appeared in the space behind Chen Qian, and the enormous figure of the golden bean instantly materialized!
After its advancement, Jin Dou had cyan-gold feathers, a scimitar-like beak, and sharp claws. Its body was faintly surrounded by the aura of golden wind and thunder and fire, making it extremely handsome.

It only needs to stand alone at a high place to naturally exude the pressure of a top predator. Even fire crows with top-level true spirit bloodlines will instinctively feel a great commotion and fear!
"You are the only one who is not afraid of the Fire Crow's True Fire Divine Power."

Chen Qian pointed to the flock of crows in the Fire Valley, his voice tinged with laughter, "Their level of solar fire can't hurt you. Use your best method to knock them unconscious! But be careful not to kill them."

"Screech! (Understood!)"

Jin Dou nodded, his enormous head flashing with excited light in his sharp eagle eyes.

What are falcons best at? Speed, of course.

It has always yearned for freedom, and what excites it most is flying fast.

After advancing, Jin Dou's body grew several times larger, but its physical structure became more perfect.

It's a beauty that perfectly combines power and speed.

Little Golden Armor can crush these fire crows, but it can't fly yet, so forget it, we won't call it that anymore.

Chen Qian planned to give the Little Golden Armor to the women to form contracts with, but he didn't know which one to choose.

When we have some free time, we'll organize a meet-and-greet so they can choose each other and see who Little Golden Armor is more compatible with.

With everything arranged, the crow-catching operation commenced instantly!
Xiao Yin was originally a soul cultivator, her body was like a phantom, and Huo Ya's realm was too low, so it was very difficult for him to detect her.

She flew high above, like an archer who could hit a target from a hundred paces away, her precise Xuan Yin thorns traversing space and instantly striking the fire crows on the outer perimeter!

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!
Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, the fire crows that were hit instantly froze and fell to the ground!

Xiao Yin's soul power output is very precise. Her powerful soul power allows her to instantly control the timing of her output, stunning them without damaging their core.

The golden bean also moved at that instant!

"Swift Shadow Thunder!"

Its enormous body transformed into a terrifying stream of light interwoven with cyan-gold wind and thunder power!
The speed was so fast, it was like teleportation!
A huge afterimage swept across the valley, accompanied by a faint crackling sound of electricity. Wherever it passed, fire crows within dozens of feet all froze and fell to the ground!
For it, this level of play wasn't even a battle; it was just a game.

It only needs to fly by and emit a little bit of lightning.

With a sudden flap of its enormous wings, the sky-shattering storm transformed into countless precisely controlled miniature tornadoes, like countless invisible hands of wind, accurately engulfing the fire crows that were falling further away, piling them into a heap.

When it was having fun, it stretched out its terrifying claws and grabbed at everything around it!
He precisely caught several fire crows, instantly paralyzing them with lightning, and then hurled them onto the open ground like a catapult, piling them up together. All in just three breaths!

A "Bird Hill" made of unconscious fire crows has been piled up on the open ground!
All falling targets were instantly subdued, gathered, and delivered by the golden beans in various ways.

Even those who were knocked unconscious by Xiao Yin were no exception.

The entire process was both efficient and violent, filled with a sense of overwhelming power.

No fire crow ever had the chance to breathe fire, because they simply didn't have the opportunity to lock onto their enemy.

Chen Qian originally wanted to catch a few, but found that he didn't need to lift a finger.

The hundreds of fire crows that were guarding the nest on the eastern rock face have all been wiped out.

too fast!
"Quack!"

The Fire Crow King, located at the highest point of the Fire Crow's Nest, finally realized that something was wrong.

It let out a furious, piercing screech: "Caw—Awooo!!!"

Its feathers are like those cast from molten gold, and its size is nearly twice that of an ordinary fire crow.

It burst out of the cave, its wings flapping, and a pure, blazing solar fire, with a hint of pale gold, rapidly condensed in its mouth.

This is because it sensed an unprecedented and deadly threat and was determined to fight to the death!
A glint flashed in Chen Qian's eyes! Finally, his chance to make a move had arrived.

Just as the Fire Crow King burst out of the cave and was about to unleash its true fire, at the critical moment!
Chen Qian used the Fire-Soaring Step to reach its side.

"brush-!"

"boom-!"

A Xuan Yin dagger and a hand chop were simultaneously aimed at the Fire Crow King.

Chen Qian's timing was impeccable, catching the Fire Crow King just as he was about to unleash his true solar fire!

The Fire Crow King, who was only staring at the golden beans, was undoubtedly bewildered.

Any hesitation would be disrespectful to Master Chen, the "Master of Beast Stun".

"Croak—?!!"

The Fire Crow King only had time to let out a soft cry before Chen Qian took it into the Wheel of Fate.

Behind the Fire Raven King followed dozens of the remaining adult Fire Ravens.

They couldn't cause any trouble, and Xiaoyin and Jindou quickly cleaned them up.

"That's it!" Chen Qian landed steadily.

Jin Dou slowly calmed its aura, let out a triumphant whistle, and landed beside the "Bird Hill," its sharp eyes scanning its "spoils of war."

The enormous, dark gold pupils contained a hint of satisfaction.

It doesn't feel very accomplished to hunt these small, weak birds, but it's quite satisfied with its current speed.

Xiao Yin's figure quietly approached, and when she looked at the extraordinary Jin Dou, a hint of shock flashed in her usually cold eyes.

Young Master's spirit pet is incredibly powerful after its advancement!

"Good job!"

Chen Qian's gaze swept over Jin Dou, lingered on its massive body for a moment, and then he spoke to Xiao Yin with admiration.

Jin Dou: "...!"

I contributed the most, okay?

I stunned all those little birds with my electric shocks!
Xiao Yin waved her hand sheepishly and said, "I only knocked down a dozen or so."

"It's alright, Xiaoyin did a great job!" He said with a smile in his eyes, clearly doing it on purpose.

I just can't stand seeing this little rascal so smug.

Then came the task of cleaning up the battlefield.

Aka found a lot of fire-attribute spiritual materials, and Chen Qian went to the southwest corner of the valley. He sent a wave of mist over them, and the little fire crows obediently followed his orders and were all taken into his Destiny Wheel Realm.

Chen Qian planned to settle the fire crows on Crimson Cliff, where the fire-attribute spiritual energy was exceptionally rich, and he believed the fire crows would like this new home.

As for the vermilion fruit forest planted on the cliff top, it will naturally be protected by the power of the world and will not be harmed by the fire crows.

Now, the forest has grown very lush, and many branches are laden with fruit.

There are also three Super Vermilion Fruits, which were created from exceptionally pure fire energy.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yi'an and Xiao Lingxi are too young to eat right now.

The women have already absorbed the primordial energy, so it would be a waste for them to eat these spiritual fruits that improve their aptitude.

So I've kept it all this time.

When there are enough ripe fruits, we can share some with the fire crows. I believe they will definitely like these fruits that contain fire elemental energy.

In a short time, Chen Qian had already brought the entire Fire Crow clan under his control, and he was very satisfied.

This efficiency is top-notch, no doubt about it.

With his eyes slightly closed, Chen Qian began to sense the distance the minotaur caravan had traveled.

Suddenly, they discovered that they had stopped a hundred miles away.

A strange feeling arose in my heart.

Given the behavior of these orcs, after completing their mission, they might go to the designated rendezvous point, or they might go to subdue some large monsters to increase their strength.

However, due to the unique topography around this Fire Valley, apart from this valley where fire crows gather, there are no other powerful monsters.

Judging from the minotaurs' preferences in capturing demons, it's clear that their targets are powerful individual demons, and they are not interested in large, gregarious creatures like fire crows.

It's probably because there's some kind of demon-taming technique that limits the number of demons that can be subdued.

So, it stopped after only a short distance? That's probably because...

……

A little over a hundred miles west of Lihuo Valley lies a stone forest with a small stream flowing through it.

Dozens of disciples of the Seven Stars Sect have all arrived and gathered here.

They weren't very lucky this time; some disciples were teleported to the vicinity of the central line of the secret realm, and it took them several days to finally assemble the team.

Since the secret realm wouldn't open so quickly, they began hunting monsters and capturing ancient beasts with strong bloodlines.

These can all be exchanged for resources with the Beast Taming Sect.

The leader of this exploration of the secret realm is none other than Mingxing Che, the stunningly beautiful young Taoist nun whom Chen Qian first met on the Hundred Beast Plain.

From a young age, she possessed innate wisdom and was close to the Dao. She practiced the Seven Stars Sect's Xuanmen Heart Method with divine assistance and also entered the field of divination, comprehending many methods for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

The sect's founder said that once Mingxing Che completes the exploration of the secret realm, he can attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

She's only fifteen! She's only been formally practicing for three or four years.

After the disciples of the sect had gathered, she cast a divination and, guided by the divination result, arrived at this stone forest.
