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

Chapter 202 The Days of Semi-Seclusion: Peaceful and Tranquil!
Chen Qian and Su Yueshang stood still in the courtyard before the light faded, revealing their figures standing hand in hand.

Seeing their family members in the courtyard, the two walked over with smiles.

"Husband!"

"Son!"

"Father! Father!"

Various forms of address, mixed with boundless joy, instantly enveloped the two of them.

Chen Yunxi carried Chen Yi'an and quickly stepped forward, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, her voice as gentle and bright as ever: "Congratulations, my husband, you have successfully established your foundation, and the path to the Great Dao is within reach!"

The little one in her arms couldn't wait to open his little arms and rush to his father.

Chen Qian laughed loudly, first taking the excitedly wriggling Xiao Yi'an from Chen Yunxi's arms, skillfully lifting him high to tease him, making the little guy giggle.

He then put down his son and his gaze swept over the faces of each of his wives, concubines, maids, and children, which were filled with concern and joy.

"Keeping everyone waiting."

His voice was both powerful and gentle.

"I have successfully completed my mission and the foundation building phase is now complete!"

Finally, Chen Qian's gaze fell on Su Yueshang.

This advancement is also a wedding gift for him and Yue Chang!

"Yue Chang deserves great credit for the successful completion of this mission, though it came at a great cost."

He gently squeezed Su Yueshang's hand, conveying his silent affection.

Su Yueshang felt the gazes of everyone and her face flushed slightly, but her demeanor remained dignified and graceful. She said softly, "We are all family, so it should be like this. My husband is blessed with great fortune and unparalleled luck, which is truly his own good fortune."

She spoke these words sincerely and felt that she was not exaggerating at all.

"Sister Yuechang, you've worked hard!" Feng Momo stepped forward, her eyes sincere.

She always held this highly accomplished woman in high esteem.

Chen Yunxi, Su Jin, and others nodded in agreement.

The scene was warm and touching for a moment.

At this moment, Chen Lingxi, who was being held by He Ying, suddenly made a "ya ya" sound. Her small body leaned forward with effort, and her pure eyes seemed to pierce through the surface, reflecting the blurry phantom of the magnificent Dao foundation in Chen Qian's dantian. A look of curiosity and awe appeared on her small face.

"Can Lingxi see it?"

Chen Qian keenly noticed the unusual look in his daughter's eyes.

Although it was because he had just broken through, his aura was exposed, and he could not yet conceal the spiritual essence of his Dao foundation.

With a sudden thought, Chen Qian quickly walked up to He Ying and gently touched his daughter's rosy cheek.

Chen Lingxi immediately grabbed his fingers with her small hand, uttering syllables that were difficult to understand, her clear eyes reflecting her father's figure as if confirming something.

"It seems that Xiao Lingxi can really see some differences." Feng Momo also noticed her daughter's unusual behavior, feeling both surprised and proud.

"Haha, excellent! As expected of my daughter, Chen Qian, she is truly gifted!"

Chen Qian laughed heartily and hugged Chen Lingxi as well, feeling the wonderful sensation of being connected by blood.

He held his daughter in one arm, while using the other to beckon the other children over.

Su Jin held her daughter, Xiao Cai Su, while Qing Man and Zi Yao quickly brought Yi Ping and Yi Kang over.

These little guys are still too young to recognize people.

Caisu was sleeping soundly in her mother's arms, her little face flushed and she looked incredibly cute.

Meanwhile, the two brothers, Yiping and Yikang, surrounded their father, curiously clutching his robes and babbling incoherently.

For a moment, Chen Qian was surrounded by young children, and the room was filled with childlike fun and noise.

Strangely enough, Chen Qian was busy all day long and had very little time to spend with the children.

But for some reason, perhaps because of their blood ties, the children quickly overcame their initial unfamiliarity with him in just a short time.

The women watched Chen Qian interact intimately with the children, and their faces showed gentle and satisfied smiles.

Especially for Su Yueshang, looking at the warm and harmonious scene before her, the slight fatigue in her soul dissipated considerably.

Deep down, she couldn't help but feel the urge to create a little child with her husband.

However, once a female cultivator advances to the Core Formation stage, the difficulty of conceiving increases dramatically.

Because the True Elixir condenses the essence, energy, and spirit of the entire body, it not only greatly enhances a cultivator's supernatural abilities and ensures the complete elimination of their vital essence, but also naturally leads to the difficulty of having offspring.

"Young Master, Mistress Yue Chang, spiritual fruits, honey dew, and various fresh beast meats and spiritual vegetables are all ready."

Ji Xue asked softly from the side, slightly breaking the somewhat noisy but actually relaxed and pleasant commotion.

"And another thing, Sister Su Jin has applied her alchemy skills to cooking. The spiritual dishes she made not only taste delicious, but also have the effect of strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy..."

Even the usually lively Liu Yan couldn't help but chime in, "It seems this is Su Jin's new skill that Chen Qian hasn't experienced yet."

"it is good!"

Holding his daughter in one arm, Chen Qian looked around at his beloved family members and said loudly, "Today I have successfully completed the Foundation Establishment stage, a great joy for our family! Let's have a feast and celebrate together!"

"Yes!" the women and maids responded in unison, their faces beaming with joy.

Surrounded by his wives, concubines, children, and maids, Chen Qian and his entourage walked into the depths of the courtyard, where the air was filled with the fragrance of spiritual fruits and fine wine.

Looking at the smiling faces around him, and feeling the incredibly solid foundation within his body and the surging true essence in his dantian, Chen Qian felt a sense of fulfillment and his confidence soared.

The foundation has been laid, and the journey begins.

At this moment, Chen Qian was just over nineteen and a half years old. He had only been formally cultivating for a little over a year, yet he had already become a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
He was also more confident in protecting everything before him, so that his wives, concubines, and children could go further and better in the future.

After the joyous gathering, he still needed to properly "reward" his bride, allowing his beloved wife, the Crystal Fairy who had given the most, to recover some of her energy.

During the foundation building process, Su Yueshang made progress due to dual cultivation, but she also paid a higher price.

Now, both his magical power and his spiritual energy are depleted.

Thinking of this, Chen Qian unconsciously tightened his grip on Su Yueshang's hand.

Sensing his feelings, Su Yueshang's palms warmed slightly, and she gently squeezed his hand in return.

After the foundation is established, there are some "lessons" that need to be made up, whether it is the new bride or the old wife.

He will inevitably be busy for a while, trying to satisfy even his closest loved ones.

Chen Qian felt that this was his "inescapable" responsibility.

……

After the grand banquet, Chen Qian remained peacefully in the Realm of Fate, entering a semi-secluded state.

He spent half his time consolidating his realm and familiarizing himself with his rapidly increasing supernatural abilities;
Half of his time was spent with his wives, concubines, and children. The children were growing up, and without his company, time would slip away.

In addition, it was indeed inappropriate for him to appear in front of outsiders at this time.

He had just advanced to the next level, and his aura and Daoist charm were still exposed, making it impossible for him to completely conceal them.

Anyone with a discerning eye would realize that he had just advanced, yet his cultivation level had already reached that of a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator, which was truly astonishing.

Even if he possesses the "Harmony with Light and Dust" technique, which can deceive 99% of people, there are still quite a few high-level cultivators in this City of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Even... right under the nose of that old sacred beast, the Formless Listener. No matter how you look at it, it's not safe enough.

For him, it's important to have as many secrets and trump cards as possible, because once some are exposed, they can cause countless problems.

Moreover, his current level of cultivation is truly bizarre.

Having just advanced, it seems as if he has suddenly reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Because the orthodox grading of the Foundation Establishment stage into pre-, mid-, late-, and peak stages is no longer suitable for him.

The so-called Foundation Building stage is the process of building a foundation for the Dao from nothing to something, from building a foundation solely with magical power, to achieving a state where the essence, energy, and spirit of the entire body are perfectly integrated.

It is a process of refining the three elements into a unified whole, based on the foundation of magical power and the foundation of spiritual essence.

The division of realms is also based on this.

But now...

Chen Qian has already completed this process.

Therefore, he is now a true Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Needless to say.

What's even more amazing is that becoming a Foundation Establishment Grand Master means that a cultivator's cultivation has reached a point where there's no room for further advancement within the Foundation Establishment stage.

All they could think about was accumulating resources and preparing for the condensation of the true elixir, striving with all their might for that slim hope.

But Chen Qian is different. He doesn't need to condense a true core yet he can still make continuous progress.

For example, his meridians are as wide as a river, and his magical power surges like a tide, but in reality, he only occupies part of the space at the bottom of the river.

Dan Lake appears vast, but its magical reserves are far from reaching the Dao Foundation base suspended above it.

This does not mean that his total mana is low; on the contrary, his total mana is dozens of times greater than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator who has just advanced.

But... there is still a huge space to accommodate more magic power.

Compared to his still-unfulfilled potential, Chen Qian's cultivation had greatly improved, but he felt even more "empty" than before his advancement!

For example, in terms of physical cultivation, he has only completed the tempering of his kidneys.

The Five Organs Revolving Wheel Exercise can only be considered a beginner's level at best; it hasn't even scratched the surface of minor success.

The same applies to the spiritual realm.

He hasn't even cultivated the most difficult fifth level yet, and his soul is far from being clear and solid.

In other words, even at his current level, there is still enormous room for growth in his spiritual essence.

……

Chen Qian remained in semi-seclusion for about two months, during which his main method of cultivation was sparring and fighting against Su Yueshang.

Through constant practice and training, Chen Qian finally gained control over his surging strength, stabilized his cultivation level, and was able to perfectly conceal and control his aura.

The reason it took so long was that his cultivation level had increased by an astonishing amount this time.

Chen Qian had no doubt that he could easily kill his former self with just a flick of his little finger.

The results were also astonishing. Chen Qian, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, was able to hold his own against Su Yueshang in a short period of time.

It should be noted that Su Yueshang is not an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, but an elite from a major sect who has condensed a top-tier colored core.

Furthermore, because of Chen Qian, Su Yueshang's Rainbow Core has shown signs of advancing to a high-grade Golden Core.

Moreover, even though Chen Qian's magical power and divine soul are ten times stronger than those of others of the same level, there is still a huge gap between him and Su Yueshang.

Chen Qian, who had not yet forged his own natal spiritual weapon, was even more lacking in terms of methods.

Su Yueshang's methods, temperament, and skills are all extraordinary, making her a standout even among early-stage Core Formation cultivators.

Even though she has only been at the Core Formation stage for less than three years and has not yet cultivated and constructed her True Core Domain, her strength should not be underestimated.

Although as long as one can condense a mid-grade true pill, one has the possibility of cultivating a cultivation domain.

but……

This also requires the cultivator to have the necessary comprehension, cultivation techniques, and resources to have a chance of success. Not every cultivator who has condensed a mid-grade or higher True Core can necessarily succeed.

The path of cultivation is like rowing against the current; everything depends on fate and destiny, especially the most defying methods.

The difference between Core Formation and Foundation Establishment is like heaven and earth.

The fact that Chen Qian was able to fight against Su Yueshang shows that the difference between them lies only in quantity, not quality.

Over the past two months, Su Yueshang has made up for her deficiencies and made further progress in her cultivation, thanks to the combined nourishment of elixirs and the dual cultivation method.

The Drunken Moon Palace naturally had no shortage of dual cultivation techniques. Chen Qian used these techniques as a basis to have the Destiny Wheel Realm deduce exclusive cultivation methods that suited the physiques and spiritual roots of his other wives and concubines.

The cost was not high, only a little over a thousand spirit stones.

Even including their cultivation time in the Destiny Wheel Realm, Chen Yunxi, Feng Momo, and the other women have only spent two or three years.

In such a short period of time, their cultivation levels have risen from nothing to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and Su Jin has even broken through to the late stage. It is inevitable that their cultivation levels are unstable and not solid.

Therefore, Chen Qian's dual cultivation with them was not aimed at rapidly improving their cultivation levels, but rather at laying a solid foundation for them.

……

During this time, Chen Qian also accomplished a major feat in the Wheel of Fate.

To prevent his wives, concubines, and maids from cultivating in isolation, Chen Qian used his authority as the master of the Destiny Wheel Realm to create a dedicated cultivation space in the vast Yunmeng Wilderness.

Chen Qian named it "Youfeng Laiyi Mountain".

This meticulously crafted area has been temporarily divided into three parts.

In the middle stands the towering, straight Lingjian Peak.

The steep and uniquely shaped mountains resembled a celestial sword. Chen Qian invoked the rules of the world, condensing countless spiritual sword energies containing different sword intents, which crisscrossed between the mountain walls and valleys, forming a natural sword formation and training ground.

Feng Momo and the four maids all practiced sword techniques, and they quickly became regulars here.

They moved among them, practicing and comprehending the essence of swordsmanship, their swords flashing and their sharpness overwhelming.

Qingman and Ziyao are already preparing to set up the Dao Army Formation.

With Chen Qian's help, Qingman subdued two top-tier first-order fire crows, while Ziyao subdued two top-tier first-order thunderscale salamanders.

In order to hone their combat coordination with their spirit pets, the two women also frequently visited Spirit Sword Peak.

During their training, Chen Qian often stood on the mountaintop to watch their practice, occasionally offering a word of guidance, which drew admiring glances from the women.

Xiao Yi'an watched his mother practice swordsmanship from a young age and developed an interest in swordsmanship.

Once, he pestered Liu Yan to bring him in to play. He was chased by a simulated gust of wind sword energy and cried out loudly. In the end, Chen Qian rescued him with a big laugh. The little guy lay in his father's arms, looking at the howling sword energy. Although there was lingering fear in his eyes, there was also a spark of curiosity.

On one side of Lingjian Peak lies Tianyin Valley.

This is a secluded valley that has been carved out to resemble a natural zither.

Chen Qian drew upon the Daoist principles of heaven and earth to form a unique echo wall and resonance wall here, where any slight fluctuation in sound could be amplified, analyzed, and even bounced back to produce a rhythm containing spiritual essence.

This is Chen Yunxi's training ground. Of course, Su Yueshang will also visit occasionally to give her pointers.

Jixue, who loves music, often appreciates the wonders of rhythm with Yunxi.
