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

Chapter 218 Firethorn New City! A Miracle!

With everything settled, the two daughters of the Jing family and Chi Qianliu gratefully bowed to Chen Qian, thanking the Venerable Master Xuanzun for saving Huojingji Village.

"What are you saying? Since I've already decided to bring the villagers of Firethorn Village into the Wheel of Fate, they will be my subjects from now on. There's no need for thanks!"

Chen Qian waved his hand with great enthusiasm.

The three women's eyes were filled with excitement.

They knew that the fate of the villagers of Firethorn Village had been completely changed.

In this world of cultivation, how difficult it is for ordinary people to find a completely safe place to live?
……

The women quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

This battle was remarkably successful! A truly glorious victory!

The Yao family, who were besieging Huojingji Village, were all wiped out.

On the Xuanzhu Palace side, apart from their top combatant Su Yueshang, the secretly lurking Xiao Yin, and the few spirit beasts that had just digested the blood crystals, all the rest participated in the battle without any casualties. They achieved a victory against overwhelming odds, which served as an excellent training exercise.

“It’s already night, Leng Yue, why don’t you go and check on the village first?” Chen Qian said thoughtfully. “We won’t go, so as not to disturb the villagers’ rest.”

"They have suffered a lot during this time."

"Yes. Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. Leng Yue will make the arrangements."

By this time, the ferocious beasts that had been besieging the village had already fled in panic.

Xuanzhu Palace, not wanting to kill indiscriminately, let them disperse.

These are mostly ordinary wild animals, and they pose little threat to ordinary people if no one drives them.

What humans need to control is the number of demonic beasts; ordinary wild animals are naturally limited by the laws of nature.

There were still many martial arts experts standing guard on the village entrance wall, but they didn't know the situation and of course wouldn't rashly go out of the village to investigate.

If we want to see it, we'll have to wait until dawn.

Jing Hanxing and Chi Qianliu also volunteered to go, and Chen Qian readily agreed.

The three women left, and Chen Qian led the rest of the Xuanzhu Palace back to the Destiny Wheel Realm.

……

After Chen Qian advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the Chaos Pool at the top of Taichu Peak expanded considerably, and the light pillar representing his anchor point above the pool also grew more than twice as thick.

More importantly, the beam of light increased its speed of absorbing energy from the chaotic sea by several times.

The world is getting bigger even faster.

Chen Qian allocated most of the newly added area to the Yunmeng Wilderness, making it even more expansive.

The first city in the Wheel of Fate will be built here!
"Since the first residents came from Firethorn Village, let's call it Firethorn City!"

Upon returning to the Realm of Destiny, Chen Qian did not immediately lead the women back to the Xuanzhu Palace. Instead, he led them to the central area of ​​the Yunmeng Wilderness and pointed to a chosen location for building a city, speaking to the women there.

“Great, that’s a nice name,” Feng Momo and the others agreed.

“My husband’s idea is good. This will help the villagers develop a sense of belonging more quickly,” Chen Yunxi agreed.

The Venerable and the Empress both agreed, so the Consorts and the Chief Envoys naturally had no objections either.

Of course, they really had no objections. The name was catchy and had a positive and resilient connotation, making it a good name indeed.

……

Two days later.

The morning light is slightly dew.

The warm sun dispelled the fear and gloom that had shrouded Firethorn Village for months.

Under the urging and reassurance of Jing Lengyue, Jing Hanxing, and Chi Qianliu, the tens of thousands of surviving villagers gathered in an open space outside the village, filled with trepidation and hope.

Most of them brought their families, pushing carts or driving animal-drawn carts, which were piled high with all sorts of items, and they were also carrying various valuables in their hands.

Tens of thousands of people form a vast, boundless expanse, like mountains and the sea.

Not to mention, the villagers were also carrying a lot of supplies, which made the scene even more chaotic.

This was after Jing Lengyue gave specific instructions, and the villagers tried their best to carry as few items as possible.

As they were leaving, many people looked reluctant to part.

It's not that they're reluctant to leave, but rather that they're reluctant to leave behind the many crops that haven't yet reached harvest time.

They were detained here by the Yao family for several months and were constantly harassed by ferocious beasts.

Although not too many people have died yet, people's hearts are already overgrown with weeds, and they just hope to escape from here and have a stable life again.

Therefore, the return of the Cold Moon leader brought with him the decision to relocate, which immediately gained the support of the majority.

They're not stupid. After killing so many members of the Yao family, how could they not leave?

Leng Yue's prestige over the past twenty years is not unfounded; as long as she is present, many people's hearts can truly find peace.

No one will question her decision.

Fortunately, the crisis has temporarily passed, and we've weathered the toughest days.

Chen Qian stood alone on the village entrance wall, and the vastness and immensity of the wall captivated the gathered villagers.

Like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

This was, of course, intentional on Chen Qian's part. He released a portion of the aura of the Fate Wheel Realm and applied it to himself.

In this way, many things will be much more efficient.

There's really no time to waste. With Master Liefeng dead, it's unlikely that the Yao family will be able to keep it a secret for long. To avoid any unforeseen complications, it's best to leave as soon as possible.

Two days were all that was all that could be done for the villagers to pack up and relocate.

Everyone had gathered, and Jing Lengyue bowed and reported from behind the wall.

Chen Qian nodded, making no arrangements to address the villagers, as it was unnecessary and would also affect his schedule.

"Master, there is no one left in Firethorn Village."

Aka's reply came from within his mind.

Chen Qian's eyes swept across the entire area. With a gentle wave of his hand, a soft yet mysterious and majestic portal of light quietly unfolded beneath the wall—

It is the gate leading to the Realm of Destiny, the central area of ​​the Yunmeng Wilderness.

The villagers stared in disbelief, their mouths agape, yet dared not utter a sound.

Soon, the villagers lined up like swimming fish and, led by the three chief envoys, Jing and Chi, passed through the gate of light in an orderly manner.

……

In the heart of the Yunmeng Wilderness, the morning light was just right.

Although the Wheel of Fate has no sun or moon, the alternation of day and night is still present.

This is the power of rules.

Chen Yunxi, along with the women of Xuanzhu Palace and some of the selected maids who were temporarily serving as officials of the Mortal Affairs Department, were already waiting here.

These highly respected Empress Xuan and Consort Xing are now forced to temporarily take up positions in the Mortal Affairs Bureau, as there is currently no one else available.

In the early days of a startup, even the big shots had to start as laborers.

……

When the villagers stepped onto this land, which exuded the fragrance of newly sprouted grass and trees, the dreamlike scene before them made them hold their breath! Here, their future home—Firethorn City—would be built.

A round, low hill, about a hundred feet high with a gentle slope, stands quietly in the center of the earth.

Although the mountain is not high, it has a beautiful shape, like a bright green pearl gently held up by the earth, with an extremely wide view.

Three winding rivers, like emerald ribbons, flow from the depths of the primeval forest amidst the distant, verdant mountains.

The largest river is wide and has a calm yet powerful current. It flows around the northwest side of the low hills, creating a fertile and vast plain through its alluvial deposits.

The next-class river meanders from the southeast, encircling half of the foot of the low mountain, its water clear and murmuring.

The smallest stream leaps and bounds, rushing down a lush, gentle slope on the southern foot of the low mountain, eventually merging into a medium-sized river at the foot of the mountain.

The confluence of three rivers creates a misty atmosphere that nourishes the land along the way.

Surrounding the central hill is an alluvial plain through which the river flows, where the terrain becomes extremely flat and open, regular and layered.

These lands are large enough to accommodate future houses, farmland and workshops, and have naturally formed several livable areas of varying heights and layouts.

This region is surrounded by dense forests, vast grasslands, and rolling hills and swamps.

At this moment, although this place is blessed with natural advantages, it appears vast and primitive, devoid of any man-made objects, except—

At the top of the low mountain, there is a huge platform several hundred steps in circumference, on which a layer of solid blue mountain rock is neatly laid.

In the heart of Firethorn City stands a colossal statue, over a hundred feet tall.

A statue of Chen Qian!
He wore a robe embodying the concepts of sun and moon, his thick, long hair swaying slightly, with an ancient jade hairpin tucked into his hair.

A pair of starry eyes seemed to pierce through the mist of the void and see the long river of time.

The entire statue is ethereal, otherworldly, and vast.

This was proposed by Empress Chen Yunxi, who personally sculpted it together with the other women.

Chen Qian felt somewhat ashamed, but his protests were ineffective. In the end, he could only ask that the face not be clearly etched.

After careful consideration, Chen Yunxi adopted his suggestion.

It is indeed necessary to maintain a sufficient degree of mystery.

"Mom, is that Xuanzun?"

A sharp-eyed child pointed to Chen Qian, who stood tall and imposing in the void in front of the low mountain, and asked.

Chen Qian, dressed in a simple robe, stood with his hands behind his back, hovering in front of the low mountain.

After entering the realm, the world aura he deliberately exuded had been subdued, yet he naturally revealed a sense of being one with the earth beneath his feet.

"My people!"

Chen Qian's voice was clear and gentle, yet exceptionally clear: "This place is your new home. From this moment on, for endless years to come, all your descendants will be under the protection of our realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qian's eyes shone brightly, like stars illuminating the sky, and he softly uttered, "Activate!"

In an instant, heaven and earth responded, and destiny resonated!
A deep and majestic roar came from the depths of the earth, as if a sleeping giant was awakening.

With that central hill as the pivot, the flat and open fertile land began to undergo visible changes!

"Boom--!"

On the flat land surface surrounding the low hill, countless soil and gravel automatically rolled, peeled off, and settled.

In the blink of an eye, several wide and solid earthen roads extended from the foot of the mountain, outlining the main road framework of the future city!
The foundations of these great roads were solidified by the power of the world, making them as firm as iron and stone.

The banks of the river naturally rose up, reinforcing the basic outline of the embankment.

A series of flat foundation platforms of varying sizes, shapes, and heights are arranged in an orderly fashion, like a chessboard.

These platforms are taking shape and will become the base for future houses, markets, and workshops.

On open plains where mountains meet rivers, or at various regional nodes, massive rock foundations are formed under the support of the world's great power.

These are sites of important buildings such as ancestral halls, council halls, and temples.

At the foot of the mountain, on the plain carved out by the great river, a large area of ​​exceptionally fertile, unusually well-ordered land, with the initial outlines of ditches beginning to appear, was simultaneously formed.

Those were fertile fields specially prepared for the people, fields that could be easily cultivated.

The once somewhat chaotic city edges have been tidied up by the power of the world, preserving their original appearance while removing the messy shrubs and thorns, naturally forming a relatively regular city boundary.

The entire transformation took only a short time, like a blueprint drawn by a magic brush!
The original, undeveloped land was instantly transformed into the framework of a city. A magnificent and hopeful "rough outline" of a giant city was miraculously presented to tens of thousands of astonished villagers!
The air seemed to freeze for a few breaths.

"God...a miracle!"

In the crowd, an elderly man with white hair and beard wept uncontrollably, knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed deeply to the ground.

"Plop! Plop! Plop..."

As if a chain reaction had been triggered, tens of thousands of villagers, regardless of age or gender, knelt down in unison, like waves of wheat swaying in the wind!

Shock, ecstasy, awe, gratitude...

All sorts of complex emotions ultimately transformed into the purest and most devout cry:
"Lord Xuanzun! Thank you for your life-saving grace!"

"A miracle! This is a true miracle!"

"We have a new home! We finally have a place where we can truly settle down and make a living!"

The shouts were initially chaotic, but gradually coalesced into a devout hymn that resonated throughout the vast wilderness of Yunmeng.

Jing Lengyue, Jing Hanxing, and Chi Qianliu stood before all the people of Firethorn Village, leading them in a respectful bow to Chen Qian.

The power of faith, like a gentle stream, spontaneously flowed from these souls who had endured so much suffering and been reborn, carrying with them the relief of surviving a catastrophe and boundless hope for the future, converging like a torrent towards the figure standing tall in the void—

Their world master, their protector, Xuanzun Chen Qian!

Looking down at the scene below, which resembled a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, Chen Yunxi and the others were filled with excitement and reverence.

Chen Qian felt the sincere and immense power of faith gathering around him. He could not directly absorb and utilize this power, but the Wheel of Fate could.

The power of faith is also the power of the soul and spirit. It flows like a trickle into the ocean of rules in the Wheel of Fate, transforming into energy that nourishes the origin of the Wheel of Fate.

A slight smile played on his lips as he reached out a hand to offer support.

"Rise, gentlemen! This is where you live and work, the precious land you have built with your own hands. The lifeblood and glory of this city should be bestowed upon you by your own bodies!"

The newly born Firethorn City was thus established under the divine miracle of Lord Xuanzun, and the Wheel of Fate also welcomed its first batch of mortal citizens.

……

Within the Yunmeng Wilderness, there is no shortage of various means of production and building materials.

Xuanzhu Palace also has a large amount of various supplies, which helped the villagers quickly settle down and start production easily.

There was also a group of people in charge of the original Firethorn Village, and Jing Lengyue, who was familiar with the situation, was in charge of it.

He simply hoped that the villagers could create their own lives with their own hands, rather than relying solely on the gifts from the Xuanzhu Palace.

After briefly explaining his ideas to Jing Lengyue, Chen Qian left.

He won't concern himself with the rest; he has his own things to take care of.

……

Chen Qian arrived at the Golden Soul Cliff within the Xuanzhu Palace. This was a small mountain formed primarily of Golden Light Rock, and it was a dwelling specifically built for Golden Bean.

At the top of Golden Soul Cliff, there is a bird's nest built from various spiritual woods and materials, which is Golden Bean's "bedroom".

After absorbing the Kunpeng Blood Crystal, Jin Dou awoke from its slumber and advanced to the mid-stage of the second tier, becoming even larger.
