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

Chapter 215 Mysterious Pearl Palace! Firethorn Village!

At this moment, Chen Qian's three-colored Dao Foundation shone brightly, and the spiritual patterns representing the Harmony with Light and Dust Technique emitted spiritual light, covering him, Feng Momo, and the spiritual artifact flying kite beneath their feet within the spell's domain, making the three of them and the artifact merge with the void.

In this state, even a Nascent Soul Grandmaster would find it difficult to discover his hiding place.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Qian summoned Jing Lengyue from the Realm of Fate Wheel.

"Leng Yue greets Your Majesty." Jing Leng Yue knelt on one knee, clasped her hands together, and raised them to her forehead, bowing to Chen Qian with utmost respect.

She had been in the Wheel of Fate for more than two months and already knew everything.

She not only accepted this change readily, but also adapted to it with remarkable ease.

Over the years, she has been burdened with the blood feud of her family, and she also has to be the leader of a force, struggling to survive, taking care of her younger sister, and keeping the Firethorns running. She is already overwhelmed.

Her younger sisters could still rely on her, but she could only pretend to be strong.

Now, all the pressure has been lifted from her shoulders. Even though the blood feud remains unresolved and her younger sister Shuanghua is nowhere to be found, she feels completely at ease.

She simply wanted to leave everything to God's arrangement. That was her thought.

It is worth mentioning that her current identity is the Chief Envoy of Xuanzhu Palace.

Since Chen Qian resolved to embrace the mortal world and establish order and a place of refuge for all beings in the Wheel of Destiny, only two months have passed, and the Wheel of Destiny has undergone tremendous changes, with many places now completely different.

At the suggestion of Jing Lengyue, who has been tempered by years of experience and is well-versed in the ways of organization, Xuanzhu Villa, which was once a warm and cozy home, has been transformed into the majestic and solemn Xuanzhu Palace.

The original location of Xuanzhu Villa was situated in the area in front of Taichu Peak where the spiritual energy was most abundant and the view was most expansive. Chen Qian specially raised a vast platform hundreds of feet high, and the women built a magnificent palace complex, which resembled a dazzling pearl.

The central main hall, "Xuanzhu Hall," rises from the ground with its flying eaves and brackets, constructed from lustrous jade and shimmering star-like stones.

The glazed tiles on the roof of the palace shimmered with seven-colored light, reflecting the unique spiritual charm of the heavens above the Wheel of Fate.

The massive dragon-shaped pillars support the magnificent space, with mysterious patterns flowing endlessly on them, symbolizing the majesty of the world's ruler.

This is the residence of Chen Qian, the master of Xuanzhu Palace.

Surrounding the main hall, dozens of halls, each with its own unique style but equally magnificent, unfold one after another.

These are the Xuanhou Palace and Xingfei Pavilion, the residences and administrative offices of Chen Qian's wives and concubines.

Each palace is decorated according to the temperament of its owner, some accompanied by elegant bamboo forests, some surrounded by hot springs and waterfalls, and some planted with exotic flowers and plants, creating a beautiful fairyland.

The overall layout resembles stars surrounding the moon, symbolizing the harem's reverence for the core of Xuanzhu Palace.

Of course, only five are currently in use: Yunxi Palace, Momo Palace, Yuechang Palace, Sujin Pavilion, and Qingzi Pavilion.

As for who the owner is, that goes without saying; you can tell just by looking at the name.

Among the palace complex, exquisite pavilions, suspended covered bridges, and gardens bursting with flowers are scattered like stars in the sky.

A white jade balustrade winds its way above the sacred spring, where mist rises and cranes flutter.

The observatory stands on the side of the peak, offering a panoramic view of the land and the vast Milky Way.

The training ground is located on the other side, with array patterns engraved on the ground, which can be used for cultivation and improvement of one's skills.

Furthermore, numerous uniquely designed auxiliary buildings, such as libraries, alchemy halls, and weapon-refining workshops, are scattered throughout the area in a well-organized manner.

The entire palace complex is blessed by the power of the world, gathering spiritual energy from all directions, forming a tangible spiritual mist that flows between the palaces.

Rare flowers and exotic plants bloom in profusion, their fragrance blending with the spiritual mist, creating a delightful and refreshing atmosphere.

The high concentration of spiritual energy made the palace itself resemble a giant treasure for gathering spiritual energy, nourishing the living beings within.

Around the main building complex, several small and exquisite floating island pavilions are suspended by the power of spatial rules and connected by rainbow bridges.

The environment here is more tranquil and pleasant, suitable for quiet meditation, sightseeing, gatherings, and business discussions.

As Jing Lengyue advised, "If the name is not correct, the words will not be proper; if the words are not proper, things will not be accomplished."

In order to effectively govern the increasingly large and complex Destiny Wheel Realm in the future, especially with the large number of mortals to be incorporated and future development, the Xuanzhu Palace has established a clear hierarchy and system of responsibilities, serving as the ruling core of the entire world.

Chen Qian's official title was Xuanzun.

He is the undisputed ruler and embodiment of will in the Wheel of Fate, governing all living beings and resources, and serving as the supreme decision-maker and protector.

Chen Qian's wives are all called Empress Xuan, the heads of the harem, the mothers of the world, representing peace and prosperity, and possessing the highest decision-making power in the absence of the harem head or on specific matters.

The concubines were all Star Consorts, holding prestigious positions and undertaking important responsibilities in their respective fields or palace affairs, assisting Empress Xuan in managing the harem and participating in core decision-making.

Below Empress Xuan and Consort Xing were the Senior Envoy and Junior Envoy.

The chief attendant is a core close attendant with a high status, such as the original four personal maids, as well as Jing Lengyue and Jing Hanxing.

They are the absolute confidantes of the Xuanzun and Xuanhou, responsible for the Xuanzun and Xuanhou's daily life, conveying their decrees, managing the important inner treasury, teaching low-ranking servants, and can directly participate in the world's high-level management or serve as important representatives of the Xuanzun in exercising power externally.

The junior maids were excellent and experienced maids who were responsible for the daily operation of the palace, such as managing the halls, gardens, and books, and serving the star consorts and senior maids. They were the actual executors of palace affairs.

The best among them can be promoted to Chief Envoy, but this position is currently vacant and is a reserved promotion channel.

Below the rank of Junior Attendant, one becomes a Selected Attendant.

The orphaned girls of the Firethorns who were just rescued were the first batch of chosen servants.

They received training and education in the palace, learning etiquette, writing, cultivation knowledge, immortality techniques, and assisting the minor officials in completing simple tasks.

They are a reserve force, and in the future, based on their qualifications, character, and contributions, they may be promoted to junior envoys.

Beneath the Xuanzhu Palace, the Mortal Affairs Bureau and the Patrol Bureau were established.

The Department of Mortal Affairs is in charge of all worldly affairs within the Realm of Destiny.

It was responsible for planning and organizing the construction of settlements for ordinary people, arranging folk production activities, formulating and implementing household registration, laws, and taxation; establishing primary schools and teaching skills; organizing festivals and sacrifices; and conveying the will of the Xuanzhu Palace to ordinary people, such as bestowing favors and conscriptions.

The head of the department and core officials are appointed by the Xuanzhu Palace, and are usually the senior or junior officials.

The Patrol Division is in charge of the core military strength and external functions of the Xuanzhu Palace.

Responsible for patrolling and maintaining order within the Realm of Destiny; training and commanding the World's Inner Guards; protecting the Mysterious Pearl Palace and various important strongholds; and, when necessary, venturing out of the realm to carry out missions in the name of "Mysterious Pearl Palace".

The head of the department is also a trusted confidant of the Xuanzhu Palace, and must possess great strength and loyalty.

……

"Is that village ahead Firethorn Village?" Chen Qian asked, pointing to the village ahead where firelight flickered and shouts of battle could be faintly heard.

"Yes." Only then did Jing Lengyue realize that Chen Qian had arrived near Firethorn Village.

Here we are thousands of feet in the air, with no obstructions in front of us, and a clear view.

When Jing Lengyue saw the village besieged by ferocious beasts, her brows twitched. She suppressed the urge to rush down and fight, and remained silent.

She knew that the Lord would make the arrangements, and she didn't need to urge Him herself.

"Hmm." Chen Qian had already received a report from Akatong that Yao Guangyuan had sent intelligence, stating that the Yao family had sent a fake Core Formation cultivator to stake out the area. If there were no results within six months, Firethorn Village would be wiped out; they couldn't let a fake Core Formation cultivator waste his time here.

“Found…Master.”

At this moment, Aka had evolved to a surveillance and knowledge domain of about fifty miles, and finally locked onto the guest elder of the Yao family!
It is located in a small valley less than 30 miles from Firethorn Village.

At the speed of a fake elixir cultivator, a journey of thirty miles would take at most ten breaths.

If Jing Shuanghua really appears, she will never escape the clutches of this fake elixir-wielder.

But now...

Even if it's a True Core cultivator, as long as their cultivation is at the early stage of Core Formation, Chen Qian has nothing to fear. A mere Pseudo Core cultivator, heh heh...

According to Aka's surveillance, in addition to the fake Core Formation cultivator, the Yao family also had one mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and twenty late-Qi Refining cultivators hidden outside Firethorn Village, including three peak Qi Refining cultivators.

Can hit!
In Chen Qian's eyes, these people's strength was insignificant, but they were good practice targets for Yun Xi and Mo Mo.

From the time Chen Qian entered the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm until now, the women have spent a year in the Fate Wheel Realm.

With ample resources, the tempering of Spirit Sword Peak, the availability of top-tier magical artifacts, and the cultivation of numerous secret techniques...

Even though they were slightly inferior in cultivation, Chen Qian couldn't imagine that they wouldn't be able to defeat these mere twenty members of the Yao family.

As for the mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, let the Jing sisters and Chi Qianliu deal with him together; Su Yueshang won't even need to lift a finger.

Jing Lengyue's fallen cultivation level has been restored after a period of recuperation, taking Foundation Establishment Pills, and with Chen Qian's personal assistance.

It turned out that she was only at the level of a complete Dao Foundation, but I also helped her advance to a flawless Dao Foundation.

As for Chi Qianliu, although he has not yet established his foundation, he is not far from the peak of Qi Refining.

After she awakened the Human King Battle Body, her formidable combat power even caught Chen Qian's attention, and she had no problem fighting against someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

A few days ago, she also forcefully subdued the leader of the Gale Hou on Mount Wanshou Tianshou, an extremely powerful beast that was about to advance to the second tier.

The main reason is that it was injured by the minotaurs and has been recovering for the past few months. Otherwise, once it was freed from the restrictions of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm rules, it should have advanced to the second tier in the shortest possible time.

Chi Qianliu seized this opportunity and subdued it.

Jing Hanxing is now a spirit plant master and alchemist at Xuanzhu Palace. His skills have reached the early stage of the second tier and he is about to advance to the middle stage.

During this period, she focused most of her energy on improving her cultivation skills. Although her direct combat strength was average, she could easily use her knowledge of spiritual plants to restrain a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and provide support for others.

……

Chen Qian, along with Feng Momo and Jing Lengyue, landed on the ground about ten miles from Huoji Thorn Village. They increased the coverage of the Harmony with Light and Dust Technique and summoned the remaining wives, concubines, and maids in the Fate Wheel Realm.

Now, in Xuanzhu Palace, hundreds of orphaned girls of all ages have become palace maids, so Xiao Yi'an and the others are not worried about being alone.

These girls are young, but they are all very sensible and are good at taking care of children.

A year has passed, and the cultivation levels of the wives, concubines, and maids have all greatly improved.

Su Jin was far ahead of everyone else, already at the eighth level of Qi Refining. She also cultivated the Flame Spirit Body Tempering Technique and was skilled in combat, making her a formidable fighter.

Qingman also advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining and formed a contract with the Fire Crow King;
Zi Yao's cultivation level is the same as Qing Man's, and she has formed a contract with the leader of the Thunderscale Salamanders;
Chen Yunxi and Feng Momo are both at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining. One is captivating with her spiritual charm, while the other is sharp and ruthless. Clearly, their combat strength far surpasses that of others at the same level.

As for the four maids, although their cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, they could easily challenge powerful enemies several levels above them when they formed the Four Symbols Returning Spirit Sword Formation.

Chen Qian was very satisfied with what he saw.

Women don't focus on speed in their cultivation; they only choose to advance to the next level when they reach a point where they can't progress any further.

Even so, their cultivation speed is comparable to that of geniuses from major sects, and their combat strength is even greater.

As soon as the women came out, more than a dozen pairs of beautiful eyes looked at him, waiting for his instructions.

Jing Hanxing and Chi Qianliu, just like Jing Lengyue, performed a kneeling salute, showing the utmost respect.

Now that they were both serving as chief envoys, their feelings upon seeing Chen Qian were quite different, as if they were meeting a deity.

Chen Qian explained his idea simply and clearly in a few words, and the women were very excited when they heard it.

Yunxi and the others were excited because they had a chance to face their enemies in a real fight, while Jing, Chi, and the other two girls were filled with the excitement of killing their enemies, even if it was just to collect some interest first.

With arrangements made, the operation was swiftly launched.

Chen Qian secretly released Xiao Yin again, adding another layer of protection for the women.

Then, alone, he rushed towards the small valley where the Yao family's fake pill was located.

……

Firethorn Village is built on a small plain nestled in the mountains. There are no significant forces within a thousand miles of it, making it a place with scarce spiritual energy and resources.

This low-key development strategy allowed the village to gradually survive and grow stronger over the past two decades.

After all, the population increases slowly, and the resources needed mostly come from the Firethorn members' trade outside, as well as from raiding the Yao family's strongholds and lone cultivators.

Today, the entire Firethorn Village has about a thousand households and a population of over ten thousand.

The villagers of Firethorn Village thought they could get by, but...

The calamity struck silently. The villagers, who had already suffered the loss of their families once, understood that in this world, weakness is the original sin.

……

At the entrance of Firethorn Village, a stone wall five or six zhang high was built, with faint traces of array runes on the wall, but at this moment all of them were dim and without light.

Clearly, there may have been a protective array here before, but it has long since become ineffective.

On the top of the wall stood a group of men and women, young and old, exuding a fierce and ruthless aura, clearly seasoned veterans.

However, most of them are ordinary martial artists; cultivators are almost impossible to find.

Clearly, those capable of cultivating immortality are all within the Fire Thorns organization.

Several months ago, the Yao family set up an ambush at a certain stronghold and captured the core members of the Firethorn in one fell swoop, except for Jing Shuanghua who escaped, and Jing Hanxing and Chi Qianliu who were on the run.

Afterwards, the Yao family followed the clues and found Firethorn Village. They arrested all the little girls under the age of eleven or twelve who had not yet formally started cultivating and were only honing their physical strength. Together with the captured Jing Lengyue, they sold them to the Red Jade Pavilion.

In Firethorn Village, they only killed a few troublemakers instead of massacring the entire village. Their intentions are quite obvious.

Now, their scheme has succeeded.

Sure enough, they lured in the "remnants" of the Firethorn.

However, what they caught was not the "small shrimp" they had expected, but a terrifying "mosasaurus".
