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

Chapter 193 The Strange Barrier That Appeared Suddenly!
Aka has fully unleashed the power of his surveillance abilities, determined not to miss any unusual movements by the minotaur.

As the minotaur shaman cast his spell, the fourth-order divine sense that had been attached to the Xuan Tie array base was fully revived, and Aka even projected its image into Chen Qian's sea of ​​consciousness.

It was a majestic and ancient figure with two horns that resembled a divine mountain that seemed to spin and split the sky, exuding a domineering and fierce aura, its divine power as imposing as a prison.

If this being does not restrain its power, any being below the third rank who faces it will only suffer the result of having their soul shattered.

Even though it was just a wisp of divine thought, it still put immense pressure on Chen Qian, even though his divine soul had already reached the innate level.

Facing this divine thought directly, without the protection of the Primordial Order tablet, Chen Qian felt that although his soul would not be shattered, he would probably only be able to unleash one or two tenths of his strength.

At this moment, the revived fourth-order divine sense seemed to be targeted by this world. On the small hill where the minotaur was stationed, the energy surged and dark clouds suddenly appeared, as if a calamity was about to descend from the void.

Above the main peak of Beast Origin Mountain, a gap suddenly appeared in the void.

A large ball of red liquid flew out, exuding a terrifying aura, and poured heavily onto the main peak of Beast Origin Mountain!

Instantly, the entire secret realm seemed to tremble slightly.

The clouds in the sky were dispersed by this massive fluctuation, and two angry roars seemed to echo from afar in the void.

In the blink of an eye, the ripples swept across the entire void of the secret realm.

On both small hilltops, whether it was the minotaurs and monsters on one side or the disciples of the immortal sect on the other, they were all knocked off their feet by the shockwave.

Even Chen Qian was unsteady on his feet and almost lost his balance.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

However, everyone felt dizzy and disoriented.

That fourth-order divine sense also seemed to have been somewhat overexerted, its aura weakened considerably.

With a reluctant look, He glanced at the void above, slowly withdrew His aura, and sank into the giant pillar of black iron.

Soon, the strange phenomenon in the sky gradually dissipated, as if it had never happened.

“Master, just now outside this secret realm, there was a battle between four-tier beings.”

……

Beyond the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, in the void beyond the boundary.

A fierce fourth-tier battle has just ended.

A blush flashed across Jade Sword True Monarch's face as she slowly suppressed the surging magical power. Half of her body's meridians ached faintly; she hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time.

The area surrounding Li Kingdom is considered a remote region of the Dragon Tail Domain, with few high-level cultivators and therefore few conflicts, except for the once-in-a-century raid by the Demon Alliance.

With the centennial approaching again, the Demon Alliance is already overwhelmed by the invasion of the Tiger-Headed Men.

In the last hundred years, she had not yet advanced to the Nascent Soul stage!

Not far away, the Formless Listening Beast, which had revealed its true form, was as large as a mountain. There was a huge wound on its body, which was slowly healing.

But clearly, only the surface has healed. Although the injury was not fatal, it is by no means something that can be fully recovered in a short time.

"Master, are you alright?" A childish, loli-like voice suddenly appeared in the void.

As the sound was heard, ripples appeared in the void beside Jade Sword True Lord, and a jade sword flashed out from them.

On the jade sword sat a little girl who looked only five or six years old, her features delicate and exquisite.

She wore two pigtails and a light green silk skirt, and asked Jade Sword True Lord with a worried expression.

"It's alright." Jade Sword True Monarch remained veiled, her expression calm and composed, as if the battle that had just taken place had nothing to do with her.

“Fellow Daoist Wuxiang, the enemy has retreated, let us turn back as well.”

"Alright. I must go back to recuperate now."

"This old ox actually sent several divine thoughts into the secret realm; what a grand gesture!" Jade Sword True Monarch's expression had returned to its usual calm.

It's important to understand that separating one's divine sense comes at a price; without decades of cultivation and the right rare and precious treasures, it's almost impossible to recover.

"Yes, if I hadn't foreseen the existence of the variable, even if I had managed to get Fellow Daoist Jade Sword's help in time, I'm afraid we still wouldn't have been able to keep the secret realm from being lost."

After a few exchanges, the void returned to calm, and all traces of people vanished.

……

Chen Qian now understood that the fourth-order divine sense must have used some secret technique to connect with the main body in the outside world by relying on the positioning of several array bases, attempting to lock the entire secret realm space through internal and external coordination.

However, they were attacked from both sides by a True Monarch of the Hidden Edge Pavilion and a Sacred Beast of the Beast Taming Sect, and were forced to retreat.

Now that the main body is no longer there to act as the main force, it is almost impossible to fix the entire secret realm space with only fourth-order divine sense and a few array bases.

It can be said that the minotaurs' plan failed.

However, if Chen Qian cannot overcome the fourth-order divine sense, the disciples of immortal sects in this secret realm will definitely be slaughtered by the minotaurs.

They still have tough battles to fight; it's not over yet.

At this moment, several enormous roars of beasts and mournful cries of birds echoed from the main peak of Beast Origin Mountain.

It seems that the huge mass of red liquid is the blood of a fourth-tier sacred beast from the Beast Taming Sect.

For the demonic beasts on the main peak, this was practically a piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh, and a bloody struggle for it was inevitable.

The minotaurs had regrouped and were rushing towards the main peak.

It seems they want to take this opportunity to clear the way up the mountain and set up the last base.

Chen Qian certainly couldn't let them have their way. Although the fourth-order minotaur's physical body was no longer outside, if the spatial array was formed, this void would be like a coordinate-marked area, always posing a huge security risk.

"Fellow Daoists of the Immortal Sect, assemble the team. We will follow behind the Minotaur and not let them leisurely ascend the mountain to make their arrangements."

Chen Qian shouted to Li Juefeng and the others, then took the lead and ran down the mountain.

Of course, he also sent a telepathic message to the three women of Drunken Moon Palace, telling them to stay with the main force of the immortal sect and not to stand out.

Besides, Little Golden Armor is with them. Even if he doesn't kill the enemy, protecting the women's lives shouldn't be a big problem.

The three women naturally obeyed. They weren't particularly fond of adventure, and their participation in the exploration was merely for training purposes.

Minotaur are fast, but they are huge and bring many monsters with them, making them easy targets, so there is no fear of losing them.

Therefore, Chen Qian ignored the people behind him and followed the minotaur.

The main peak of Beast Origin Mountain is tens of thousands of feet high. From top to bottom, it presents a ring of colors in white, gray, brown, yellow, blue, and green. When viewed from a distance, it is very beautiful and has a sense of layering.

At the top lies a semi-white, semi-transparent world of crystal, high above the sea of ​​clouds, almost piercing the boundary of the secret realm.

Although there is no outer layer of strong winds here, the entire summit is covered with ice crystals due to its height, making it both cold and dreamlike.

Normally, no monsters can survive here; it can be described as a forbidden zone for life.

At this moment, the blood of the Unparalleled Listening Beast, which had unexpectedly fallen in, was like rolling lava, radiating immense heat and melting a small patch of ice on the summit, forming a small lake. That large mass of blood, like blood crystal agate, though covered by icy water, still emitted a subtle, resonant energy that beat like a drum, constantly striking the hearts of all the demonic beasts on the main peak.

Therefore, they could no longer stay peacefully in their nests...

Whether it's the Flame Feather Eagle nesting on the cliff on the west side of the main peak, the Ink Horn Python digging countless caves halfway up the mountain, or the Gale Hou occupying a large area of ​​the eastern slope and valley, they all began to gather their tribes and head towards the summit.

The Minotaur took immediate action upon seeing this situation, hoping to successfully locate the spatial node in the mountains.

They weren't too familiar with Beast Origin Mountain either, since it only opens once every three hundred years, and their knowledge of it wasn't much greater than that of the Beast Taming Sect.

That's right, this secret realm actually has two exits, one in the Beast Taming Sect and the other in the Ancestral Dragon Mountains, millions of miles away.

As for the secret realm itself, it constantly shifts and moves between these two locations.

It was precisely because the secret realm had moved to the side of the Beast Taming Sect that the fourth-tier powerhouse of the Minotaur race took the opportunity to cause trouble, attempting to lock down the secret realm as a bridgehead and passage for invading the Li Kingdom.

Unfortunately, such a strong crisis could not escape the premonition of the Formless Listening Beast. The first-tier minotaur who entered to set up the spatial array was also destined to lose his life at the hands of Chen Qian, this variable.

……

The monsters of Beast Origin Mountain are far stronger than those in the outer regions in terms of bloodline concentration, potential, and spiritual intelligence.

Therefore, even when tempted by the blood of the Formless Listening Beast, it did not lose its rationality and recklessly attack other races.

Instead, they formed teams according to their respective ethnic groups, rushing towards the top to gain an advantage, rather than immediately engaging in a life-or-death struggle.

Therefore, although the entire Beast Origin Mountain appeared chaotic and noisy, before everything settled down, it was actually chaotic yet orderly, with very few battles.

The minotaur followed behind the climbing monsters, without deliberately causing any disturbance.

They are currently focused on protecting the array base and the shaman. Every so often, they have the shaman communicate with the fourth-order divine sense to sense the weak points in the space.

Of course, if they occasionally encounter one or two lone monsters blocking their way, they will act decisively and kill them quickly.

Chen Qian, following behind, naturally saw everything.

These minotaurs may look rough and reckless, but they are actually not stupid and are not easy to deal with.

Once they establish a foothold on the high ground, any subsequent disciples of the immortal sects who want to rush up and fight them will certainly pay a heavy price.

However, he didn't have a good solution for the time being. He needed to make his fourth-order divine sense consume as much power as possible, otherwise he would be at considerable risk once the war started.

As for the main force of immortal disciples who lagged behind, their assistance to him was limited. Ultimately, the fate of annihilating these minotaurs depended on him alone.

The disciples of the immortal sects can share some of the pressure and draw some of the attacks.

The section from the foot of Beast Origin Mountain to the halfway point is covered with lush vegetation and full of life. Although there is no road, it is not difficult to walk.

The Minotaur is enormous, often covering several meters in a single stride, and moves at incredible speed. Chen Qian is no less formidable.

The two groups soon arrived at the halfway point of the mountain, where the vegetation became sparse, the rocks were jagged, and the path became increasingly difficult to traverse.

The area is full of caves, which should be the lair of the black-horned python.

However, at this moment, the adult pythons have all gone up the mountain. There should still be some left behind, but they are all hiding in the caves and have not come out.

So the minotaur and Chen Qian passed by quickly, one after the other, without any trouble.

Chen Qian looked back down the mountain; the disciples of the immortal sect were also following, but they were still far away.

He shook his head, ignoring it, and simply followed the minotaur, activating the "Sharing the Light and Dust" technique at full power, unafraid of being discovered.

However, he was still worried about being detected by a fourth-order divine sense, so he didn't dare to get too close.

Chen Qian was already somewhat confident in dealing with this divine thought.

It's impossible in the outside world, but if it can be brought into the Wheel of Fate, then it can be molded and manipulated at will.

A fully formed fourth-order being is definitely beyond the capabilities of the current Destiny Wheel Realm, but how could a mere wisp of divine thought possibly cause such a stir?!
According to Aka's investigation, the soul power and magical power contained in this divine thought were almost gone.

At most, he can only make a few moves.

Chen Qian is not afraid of soul attacks, as long as he is not hit by their spells.

At this moment, Chen Qian felt a faint pressure in the void, which was falling on his soul and body from all directions, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The higher you go, the more pronounced this feeling becomes.

This oppressive aura had little effect on him, but it was a different story for the minotaurs in front of him.

Their steps became much heavier, and long white breaths occasionally escaped from some of their nostrils; they even seemed slightly out of breath.

It seems that there are still some unknown secrets on this main peak, and it is not simple at all.

As the altitude increased, the rocks gradually turned gray, and even plants disappeared, making it a very desolate place.

They also saw the Fierce Wind Hou, which resembled a giant mastiff, the Flame Feather Eagle with its crimson feathers, and the Ink Horn Python, whose body was thicker than a towering tree.

They were all struggling to climb upwards, but the pressure they were under seemed to be many times greater than his.

Even the Flame Feather Eagle, being a bird of prey, can only flap its wings for a few feet before landing and walking on its claws, repeating this cycle endlessly, making it impossible to move quickly.

"Aka, probe with all your might, show me what's up on the mountain."

Chen Qian gave the order to Aka.

He was genuinely curious.

These powerful pressures, though immense, were not noticeable to him because of his chaotic spiritual body, innate divine soul, and the protection of the Wheel of Fate and the Primordial Decree Tablet.

But whether it was these monsters or minotaurs, they all seemed to be struggling to hold on, which was very strange.

There was no such description in the information previously provided by the Beast Taming Sect.

Something's not right.

He didn't believe the information provided by the Beast Taming Sect was wrong; there was no benefit in hiding it from him.

If it weren't for him, all five sects would have been wiped out; there was no other possibility.

Shortly after……

“Master…we are currently…in a special…barrier.”

"The barrier... its core source... is inside the Blood Crystal Cave mentioned in the intelligence..."

After Aka's inspection, feedback came in.

"Huh?! What's going on? Could it be that another group is hiding in this secret realm?"

Chen Qian found it somewhat unbelievable.
