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

Chapter 197 Fragments of the Ancient Kunpeng's Memory! (Thanks to the generous donation from An Qi!)
Mingxing Che smiled gently, and instead of leaving, he came to the side of the three women.

"You senior sisters seem to know Senior Brother Chen very well. Were you acquainted before?"

She possessed a pure and flawless appearance, along with an ethereal quality bestowed by the mysterious star core. Like a flower in full bloom, she was as fresh as bamboo shoots after a spring rain, exuding an indescribable and captivating charm.

She was naturally easy to like, not to mention the three women from Drunken Moon Palace she was facing, who were simple and pure-hearted.

Even though Yun Meng'er and Han Yin'er are more perceptive, they usually show their sincerity to others.

So when the three women heard Mingxing Che's question, although they felt it was a bit too forward and a little abrupt, they didn't feel any aversion.

The three women exchanged glances, and the outspoken Liu Xuer struggled to suppress the words that were about to rush to her throat.

For those who are not yet familiar with each other, Yun Meng'er, the most mature and steady person, usually handles the situation.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Ming. We didn't know Senior Brother Chen before. It was because our elders had a past relationship with him that they asked him to look after us three sisters in the secret realm. That's how we got to know each other."

After a moment's thought, Yun Meng'er spoke.

"Oh! I see. The three of you are truly blessed with good fortune."

The young Taoist nun was now extremely curious about Chen Qian, feeling that he was even more mysterious than the boundless starry sky and more intriguing to explore.

……

At the entrance to the Blood Crystal Cave, Chen Qian took a deep breath, suppressing the distracting thoughts and restlessness in his mind, his gaze calm.

A faint crimson mist filled the cave entrance. The Kunpeng demon core had only slightly revived, but its ancient and vast aura was already impossible to ignore.

"Xiaoyin, Jindou, let's go inside."

"Conceal your aura. The situation inside is still unclear. We should observe first," Chen Qian instructed in a deep voice.

"Yes, son."

"Chirp~"

Xiao Yin habitually hid in Chen Qian's shadow, and Jin Dou also unusually tucked in her wings and obediently followed behind Chen Qian, her golden eyes curiously examining the cave entrance.

Upon entering the cave, the light suddenly dimmed, but it was not completely dark.

There are many thread-like scratches on the cave wall, which are uneven.

Some of them have existed for a very long time and are now indistinct;
Some of them are still quite new.

Clearly, these are traces left by many demonic beasts that have passed through.

The further you go in, the stronger the suppressive force of the rules becomes, but the more concentrated the blood energy permeates the air.

This made Chen Qian, whose body refinement cultivation had already reached a certain level, feel slightly hot and restless, as if every cell in his body was jubilantly boiling.

Jin Dou craved this scent even more, and if Chen Qian hadn't been ahead, it probably would have rushed in long ago.

The cave is not winding; it slopes downwards all the way.

After walking for about several hundred feet, the view suddenly opened up ahead.

A huge underground space appeared before us.

The space is very spacious, with no strange rocks or flowing water, and no vegetation or wild animals.

The most eye-catching feature is a huge "rock" that stands alone and protrudes from the ground at the center of the space.

This "rock" is the Kunpeng demon core that has been initially revived by the blood of the Wuxiang Diting Beast!

Its surface appears uneven, covered with traces of time and strange natural patterns, and its overall appearance is a deep dark blue-green.

Only in a few places were there fist-sized, shimmering, blood-red crystals that seemed to pulsate inside.

That was a crystal formed from the leakage of the Kunpeng demon core's essence combined with the spiritual energy of the secret realm.

It has great benefits for enhancing and evolving the bloodline of demon beasts, and is the secret realm resource that the Beast Taming Sect craves the most!
The demon core seemed to be the "heart" of the entire space, and every barely perceptible pulse caused imperceptible ripples in the space.

As he drew closer, Chen Qian felt the pressure on his body increase dramatically. If it weren't for the Life Wheel Realm protecting his soul and his body having undergone countless trials, he probably wouldn't even be able to stand up right now.

Upon reaching the heart of the cave, Jin Dou seemed to sense the pressure, bracing its wings on the ground and emitting a low, awe-inspiring cry.

Xiao Yin's soul flickered slightly, stopping several dozen feet away, unable to get any closer, as she was fully utilizing the Profound Yin Condensing Soul Scripture to resist the suppressing force.

"Is this a True Spirit Demon Core of at least the sixth rank?" Chen Qian's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

This demon core alone is already of immeasurable value.

Even though it has gone through countless years and lost most of its essence, it is still as profound as a world in itself.

He suppressed his excitement and resisted the immense pressure, approaching Him step by step.

To acquire it, Chen Qian needed to get closer, to personally feel its pulse, and to resonate with it; only then would there be any hope.

At the same time, he asked Aka in his mind, "Aka, are you confident in activating the spatial array and linking the five outer array bases?"

"Yes... Master... Aka is analyzing and constructing the spirit rune network..." Aka's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

Clearly, this task was not easy for her, even with the support of the Wheel of Fate, as she was not particularly spiritual.

Chen Qian finally reached the front of the demon core's arm with great difficulty. The suppressive force surging from all directions almost bent his spine.

Thankfully, he managed to pull through.

This was a comprehensive test for him.

This made his magical power more concentrated, his qi and blood more restrained, and his spirit more clear.

While Aka was analyzing the situation, Chen Qian carefully extended his right hand and slowly stroked the rough and cold demon core.

When his fingertips touched the surface of the demon core—

"Buzz!"

A boundless will that transcended time and space, like a torrent bursting its banks, instantly surged into Chen Qian's sea of ​​consciousness!

The light of the Wheel of Fate shone brightly, forming a strong barrier that filtered, sorted, and transformed this massive torrent of information into images and insights that Chen Qian could understand.

This was not a soul attack, but rather a fragment of Kunpeng's memory remaining within the demon core.

Although the true spirit has perished, its bloodline has not been extinguished. It has been slightly revived due to absorbing the essence of the formless beast, and has also been passively brought to the surface by the attraction of the origin of the Wheel of Fate.

……

Chen Qian "saw" a vast, chaotic land, where the primordial energy was violent and disorderly.

……

A small, weak human race struggles to survive in a harsh environment.

They are not physically strong, but they possess a spirituality and thirst for knowledge that is difficult for other races to match.

They began to observe the laws governing the workings of heaven and earth, the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the withering and flourishing of plants. They imitated the powerful magical abilities of monsters and summarized the earliest "Tao" and "techniques".

They worked together, used tools, and employed wisdom to compensate for their lack of strength, taking their first step on the path of spiritual practice from humble beginnings.

……

Another group of powerful beasts emerged victorious from the brutal competition for survival.

They are no longer satisfied with instinct; their enormous size and overwhelming strength naturally place them at the top of the food chain.

They began to awaken their intelligence in the midst of battle and instinctively evolved into more powerful forms—retaining some of the characteristics of powerful beasts, such as bull heads, tiger heads, and snake tails.

At the same time, they also mastered tools and created their own civilizations.

They revere strength, believe in bloodline hierarchy, and are driven by a nature of conquest and expansion.

……

Between heaven and earth, the most numerous and diverse creatures are the native demonic beasts. They grow and evolve according to the most primal laws of life.

Powerful individuals continuously refine their bloodline through devouring and growth, pushing their physical bodies to their limits.

When they become powerful enough, their bloodline resonates with the laws of heaven and earth, and they can undergo the "Transformation Heavenly Tribulation," shedding their beastly bodies and reshaping their human bodies and Dao embryos!
This is not an imitation of the human race, but a high-level transformation in pursuit of the origin of life—the human body is the most compatible vessel with the Great Dao in the world.

Transformed demonic beasts gained the advantage of enlightenment through human form, while retaining their powerful original divine abilities and long lifespan.

……

Humanity established magnificent sects and dynasties, and its various cultivation techniques, such as formations, talismans, elixirs, and magical treasures, reached their pinnacle. With collective wisdom and exquisite "Dao," humanity fought against other races.

They often rely on powerful formations and advantageous terrain, or achieve victory through exquisite teamwork and powerful magical artifacts and supernatural abilities.

With a wave of his sleeve, a powerful human being reversed the flow of the Milky Way, and his sword light split into billions, slaughtering billions of demonic beasts.

……

The orcs formed a massive legion, their banners fluttering in the wind.

They formed battle formations, their blood and smoke billowing into the sky, creating terrifying war totems that tore apart all obstacles with absolute power and fearless charges.

A powerful beast king, wielding a totem pole that reaches the sky, smashed the human race's giant floating city with a single blow.

……

A soaring azure dragon, a phoenix blazing with flames, a nine-headed willow tree shrouded in poisonous miasma, a colossal black tortoise diving deep into the ocean...

They either crush everything with their individual strength or form hordes of beasts that engulf everything.

A colossal bird, blotting out the sky, soared through the sea of ​​stars. With a single breath, it swallowed a star fortress built by orcs, along with its millions of elite warriors!
……

Chen Qian witnessed another ancient war between the three races, a war far exceeding his imagination and affecting countless star realms.

He vaguely sensed that behind this three-way struggle for dominance lay a far grander and more subtle power struggle.

Some illusory figures, exuding an indescribable aura and neither human nor beast, appeared and disappeared at the edge of the battlefield, as if observing a game of chess, or as if making moves in the dark.

Their gazes were cold and merciless, regarding the beings of this world as mere chess pieces on a chessboard.

The owner of this demon core is a Kunpeng True Spirit who is at the peak of its growth period and has reached the sixth level of cultivation.

It was not fighting alone, but belonged to a powerful demon beast legion.

It traverses the sea of ​​stars, using its spatial abilities to undertake the crucial tasks of transporting elite troops, cutting through battlefields, and breaching key enemy nodes.

Despite its formidable power, it was merely a component of a massive war machine.

During a crucial cross-border raid, the Kunpeng Legion was ambushed.

The enemy is not a single race, but a group of terrifying beings with different auras and representing different factions working together!
A dazzling sword light pierced through the galaxy, carrying the will to sever cause and effect and annihilate all laws.

A colossal claw covered in jet-black scales and wreathed in destructive lightning, obscuring the sky.

There is also a strange darkness that spreads silently and even swallows starlight.

Under the siege, Kunpeng's spatial talent was forcibly interfered with and sealed, and his proud internal space was torn apart by terrifying power.

It let out a mournful cry that shook the galaxy, its massive body pierced by sword light, torn apart by giant claws, and its very essence eroded by darkness...

……

Chen Qian suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly still showing the terrifying images of a collapsing starry sea and a falling giant beast. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his breathing was slightly rapid.

The overwhelming and distant impact of those memories caused his soul to experience a violent shock and exhaustion, even more so than when he had previously confronted the Minotaur's divine sense.

If it weren't for the Life Wheel Realm acting as a buffer and filter, his consciousness would probably have been instantly overwhelmed by the remaining memories of the sixth-order true spirit.

"Son!"

Xiao Yin noticed Chen Qian's unusual behavior immediately and rushed over to take his hand.

A more refined and powerful spiritual force flowed in like a warm current, calming the turbulence in his sea of ​​consciousness.

She was unaware that the suppression of the Kunpeng demon core on her had weakened considerably.

"call……"

Chen Qian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling Xiao Yin's comfort, and his chaotic thoughts gradually cleared.

When he looked at the huge dark blue demon core again, his eyes were completely different.

It was not merely a rare treasure or a spatial core, but an epic fossil that recorded a portion of the endless vicissitudes and cruelty of this world and even beyond.

"So that's how it is..." Chen Qian felt a chill run down his spine.

The battles in the Myriad Beasts Realm and the Ghost Luo Kingdom are merely a continuation of this grand epic in the present era.

Chen Qian suppressed the shock in his heart, and his eyes became sharp and firm again.

The ancient conflicts are the background; the opportunities before our eyes are the key!

Chen Qian took out a communication array plate and told the three women of Zuiyue Palace to notify all immortal disciples to withdraw from the central area, as he needed to deal with the array base set up by the minotaur.

If anyone remains in the central area, their safety cannot be guaranteed.

The three women naturally offered their concerned greetings, and Chen Qian responded gently, saying that he was fine and that they didn't need to worry.

“Master… Aka is ready…”

Within his soul, Aka's message arrived silently.

"Alright! Aka! Activate the spatial array! Connect the coordinates of the five external array bases, use my soul power as the guide, and the power of the Life Wheel Realm as the lever, to pry open this space!"

Chen Qian gave the order decisively. He didn't know if it would succeed, but he had to give it a try.

Aka is practically comparable to a central supercomputer; in terms of intelligence, it far surpasses the ignorant will of the Destiny Wheel World.

With the imprint left by the fourth-order divine sense of the Minotaur, and having absorbed His soul power characteristics, and mastered the method of controlling the array base, the chances of success through Aka's integration are definitely not small.

"Yes... Master... Array base coordinates anchored... Power of the Destiny Wheel World enhanced... Resonance..."

At this moment, in the Realm of Destiny, the world's spiritual veins began to boil, the pillar of light above the Chaos Pool shone brightly, and the seven-colored rays of light in the sky appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Within the Primordial Peak, some hidden energies were also absorbed by the Chaos Pool, and several primordial spaces released massive amounts of spiritual energy, which flowed into the energy tide.

With a thought, Chen Qian opened a portal in the spirit stone storage space at the top of Taichu Peak, and a vast number of spirit stones poured into the Chaos Pool.

Chen Qian sat cross-legged in front of the demon core, his hands pressed down, and the phantom of the Fate Wheel Realm appeared and disappeared behind him, exuding an aura that encompassed all realms.

His powerful mental strength was like countless invisible threads, precisely controlled by Aka.

On one hand, it connects to the core of the demon core; on the other hand, through the imprint in the main array base, it crosses space and remotely connects the five huge black iron array bases distributed in different locations of the secret realm.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

At five locations on the outskirts of Beast Origin Mountain, the five silent giant pillars of black iron suddenly trembled!

The crimson runes on the pillar shone brightly, but soon the color of the light began to change, transforming into a deep, chaotic color that seemed to contain the trajectory of the stars!

Inside the Blood Crystal Cave, the Kunpeng Demon Core also began to hum loudly and slowly floated up.

The natural patterns on the surface of the demon core shone with unprecedented brilliance, and the entire cave space began to distort and fold, with the blood crystals on it emitting dazzling blood light.
