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

Chapter 220 The Innate Five Elements Grand Array! The Beast Soul Illusion Array!
Ziyao watched the fish and shrimp swimming in the lake, as well as the green clams and purple clams, and would occasionally reach out her finger to tease them, having a great time.

At this moment, she temporarily forgot her identity as a mother and put down the airs of the Star Consort of Xuanzhu Palace, returning to being a pure and innocent girl who was naive to the ways of the world.

Chen Qian, also intrigued, recounted his numerous experiences at Green Lake to her.

Afterwards, the two transformed into fish, playing and searching for aquatic products in the lake, constantly adding new members to Thousand Scales Mirror Lake.

As they played around, the two dived deeper and deeper, finally reaching the bottom of the central area of ​​the lake after more than an hour.

This is a mysterious place.

When I dived to the middle of the lake, the deep water blocked out all light, making it pitch black.

But the closer we got to the bottom of the lake, the brighter the light became.

Only then did the two realize that the faint light was coming from the vast, boundless jungle of rocks at the bottom of the lake.

"Aka, go check the situation!"

Upon seeing the scene before him, Chen Qian's innate spiritual sense was subtly stirred, causing him to tremble slightly.

He had a premonition that there must be some hidden secrets in this area.

Moreover, this secret is quite significant, so there's no need to worry about conserving spiritual energy anymore.

Furthermore, with the current top-tier second-order spiritual vein of the Destiny Wheel Realm, there shouldn't be any major problems as long as Aka doesn't activate his Monitoring and Knowledge of Mystery continuously for several hours.

Time passed slowly, and Chen Qian and Zi Yao, hand in hand, floated quietly above the rocky forest, admiring the spectacular scenery before them.

These seemingly chaotic rocks actually possess a special spiritual charm.

As Chen Qian gradually immersed himself in the fluctuations emanating from this spiritual energy, his inner core and foundation of Dao within his body unknowingly began to resonate with it.

Aka had already investigated the situation and was about to report it to Chen Qian when he noticed his unusual behavior.

As the spirit of the Tongtian Lingbao, which is connected to him by soul, even though Aka's spirituality is still flawed, he knows that his master has suddenly had an epiphany and should not be disturbed.

Zi Yao was also a clever woman and had long since noticed her husband's unusual behavior.

Although she didn't understand Chen Qian's situation, she vaguely sensed that it was a good thing, so she obediently stayed still and quietly continued to hold hands and wait.

……

Chen Qian stood atop the jumbled rocks at the bottom of the lake, his aura mysterious and unfathomable, as if he had merged with this ancient world that had been silent for ten thousand years.

The Dan Lake within his body surged with waves, and his supreme Dao foundation, as brilliant as the sun, shone brightly.

At that moment, he finally understood.

His supreme Dao foundation, formally known as the Innate Five Elements Dao Foundation, should be called the Innate Five Elements Dao Foundation.

The essence of the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique flowed through his heart, driving surging magical power and boundless divine consciousness, resonating harmoniously with the spiritual energy naturally emanating from the stone formation.

Although this main cultivation method originated from the original cultivation method, it was first deduced by the Destiny Wheel Realm, and then, when Chen Qian was building his Dao foundation, it was guided and corrected by the rules and great Dao of the Destiny Wheel Realm. It is now very different from the original cultivation method and is countless levels higher.

This naturally formed Five Elements array is profound, vast, and ancient, containing the supreme truth of the flow, mutual generation, and mutual restraint of the Five Elements.

Water's nourishment, fire's intensity, wood's strength, metal's sharpness, earth's weight...

The five origins of the conception had never been presented so clearly in Chen Qian's perception.

They are closely intertwined and cycle endlessly, forming a perfect and harmonious innate picture – a naturally formed, fourth-order "Innate Five Elements Grand Array"!
This formation lacks offensive capabilities; its core power lies in "Spirit Locking," "Concealment," and "Harmony."

All the mysteries, wonders, and even the rare treasures of heaven and earth that this place has nurtured are perfectly sealed and hidden deep at the bottom of the lake, unknown to anyone.

Even the previous owners of this hidden cave before Tu Yuanfeng were unable to glimpse even a fraction of its secrets.

They only knew that this place was secluded and could isolate one's aura, making it a place to hide, but they were completely unaware that this place itself was an earth-shattering innate treasure!

Chen Qian's enlightenment stemmed from the supreme innate Five Elements Dao foundation, the Five Elements Hunyuan Technique he cultivated, and his own insights and understanding of the Five Elements Dao. All these accumulations, together with the Five Elements origin of this innate Five Elements Grand Array, created an unprecedented deep convergence and integration.

He seemed to transform into a part of the great formation, his divine sense traversing and comprehending the five elements.

Water gathers in this lake, providing nourishment and inspiring vitality;
The earthworms are located on the lakebed, thick and solid, and contain mineral deposits.
Wood elements gather and converge, harmonizing with water and soil to nurture spiritual roots;
Although the fire element was not visible, it surged and roared deep underground;
Jin Yuan is sharp yet invisible, hidden deep within stone bones and mineral veins.

The five elements generate, circulate, and harmonize with each other.

Water helps wood grow, wood nurtures fire, fire refines metal, metal cleanses water, and the fusion of water and earth nourishes all things...

The perfect closed loop, the naturally formed state of "unity", continues to evolve, consolidate and generate within Chen Qian's divine thoughts and Dao heart.

This sudden enlightenment was extremely rare and crucial, laying a solid foundation for Chen Qian's path to the Core Formation realm!

Although his realm is connected to the Wheel of Fate, it is not something that can be achieved effortlessly once the world level is reached.

It is also necessary to integrate his own techniques, bloodline, foundation and insights.

He has forged the supreme foundation of the Five Elements, and his future path to forming the Golden Core must also be to unify the Five Elements into one, merge them into one, and finally condense a Golden Core of the same Five Elements!

This sudden enlightenment allowed him to grasp the essence of the flow of the five elements and the return to oneness, paving a crucial path for him to condense the true elixir in the future.

The time it takes to achieve enlightenment may seem long, but in reality, only a few hours have passed in the outside world.

When Chen Qian slowly opened his eyes, a fleeting vision of the primordial chaos and the rotation of the five elements seemed to flash within them before quickly receding, making them appear even more profound and composed.

His aura became more harmonious and balanced, and his every move carried a natural Daoist charm.

"Husband, you..."

Zi Yao, who was standing to the side, was constantly sensing Chen Qian's condition and naturally noticed the change in his temperament. Her beautiful eyes were filled with amazement and concern.

"Yao'er, I'm fine! I couldn't be better!"

Chen Qian gripped Zi Yao's hand tightly, his voice gentle yet excited, "This is a great opportunity! The wonders of this place far exceed our imagination."

At that moment, Aka's voice rang out in Chen Qian's mind, and she sounded very pleased, "Master, detection complete... There's something good!"

If Aka calls it a good thing, then it must be extraordinary.

The entrance location has been confirmed, at the weakest point of the large array between two inconspicuous stones. The coordinates have been transmitted into Chen Qian's sea of ​​consciousness.

The grand formation is essentially a naturally formed fourth-order "Innate Five Elements Grand Formation". Its formation is perfectly formed and infinitely mysterious, but it is not offensive. As long as you find the weak point, you can easily enter it.

Deep beneath the lake lies a sizable vein of spirit stones.

Spirit stone veins and spirit veins are two completely different things.

Mineral veins absorb spiritual energy to form spirit stones, while spiritual veins themselves generate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, emitting spiritual energy.

Therefore, places with spirit stone veins often have thin spiritual energy, but the veins themselves emit a unique spiritual field that is easily detected by skilled prospectors. This spirit mine beneath Qingyang Lake, however, is perfectly isolated from this spiritual field because it has formed a primordial Five Elements Grand Array.

Therefore, for countless ages, no one has been able to detect or discover its existence.

Now, Chen Xuanzun is the only one who can benefit.

This place holds even more treasures than those mentioned above.

At the core of the grand formation, an extremely precious fruit tree was being nurtured! It was none other than the Five Minor Heavenly Spiritual Roots, one of the legendary "Five Minor Heavenly Spiritual Roots" in the cultivation world—the Five Qi Gathering Fruit Tree!
The fruit of this tree is the main ingredient in the True Essence Pill, a breakthrough elixir used to refine cultivators to advance to the Core Formation stage!
Beneath the roots of the Five Elements Gathering Fruit Tree, deep within the core of the spirit stone vein, a fiery, warm, and ever-renewing spiritual fire, radiating a faint aura of nirvana, is quietly burning.

Nirvana Fire!
This innate spiritual fire contains powerful vitality and creative energy; it is both a divine fire that tempers all things and a sacred flame that nourishes the five elements.

Tu Yuanfeng's so-called secret cave was merely a small area on the edge of the array's coverage.

He was completely unaware of the existence of this innate grand formation, the five elements mineral veins, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and the innate spiritual fire!
The area of ​​the secret cave is still a long distance away from the core of the great formation, and there are many powerful innate restrictions in between.

As for the cave restrictions that Tu Yuanfeng mentioned, they were set up by the previous owner and belong to the "Beast Soul Illusion Array" unique to the Beast Taming Sect.

To break it, a cultivator who has mastered the Beast Taming Technique needs to work together with their own spirit beast to overcome the obstacle. After passing the obstacle, they can use their blood to refine the array plate at the center of the illusion array and then control the illusion array.

The formation itself is of average power; its function is more like screening those who are qualified to enter.

If one had not cultivated the Beast Taming Technique, the illusion array would have self-destructed, destroying the portal to entry.

Ultimately, the original owner of the illusion array didn't really take this place seriously; he simply regarded it as a secret place.

This place is extremely mysterious; without a stroke of luck, it would be difficult to discover the weak point between the two stones at the entrance.

After hearing Aka's report, Chen Qian was overwhelmed with joy and excitement.

It is truly a great opportunity in the world, and only those with the right destiny can obtain it!
Many talented individuals who came here before Tu Yuanfeng, even though they were surrounded by treasures, never had the chance to see the true face of the place.

"What a treasure trove!" Chen Qian looked at Zi Yao with a smile in his eyes. "Yao'er, it's up to you and 'Big Head' to get things done from here on out."

He told Ziyao in detail about the "Beast Soul Illusion Array" at the entrance of the secret cave.

Upon hearing that there was another hidden world in this place, Zi Yao covered her mouth in surprise.

Upon hearing that she needed to help break the formation, her spirits immediately lifted, and her eyes shone with confidence: "Don't worry, my husband! With the help of 'Big Head' and the other two, I will definitely not fail you!"

"Alright! Without further ado, let's enter the fray immediately!"

Chen Qian took Zi Yao's hand and, following the coordinates indicated by Aka, accurately located the two enormous black rocks emanating a mysterious aura.

The rock appears to be empty inside, and water flows through it without any noticeable disturbance.

However, when the two approached, Chen Qian's innate divine soul could sense an extremely faint and hidden fluctuation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Qian enveloped himself in magical power and stepped into the room with Zi Yao in tow!
The scene before my eyes changed in an instant!

The once quiet, rocky lakebed has vanished, replaced by an endless, misty wasteland.

A chilling wind howled, carrying mournful beastly roars, as if countless bloodthirsty monsters were lurking in the shadows from all directions.

This is a classic beast soul illusion array!
Those with weak minds can easily become lost in fear and illusions.

"Yao'er!" Chen Qian remained calm and unaffected, and looked at Zi Yao.

"Husband, watch me!"

Zi Yao's cultivation level was not high, but her soul had been fused with the Xuanhuang Qi. Although the beast soul illusion array made her feel uncomfortable, she could still endure it.

With a flick of her wrist, she used her hands to perform a profound beast-taming incantation, summoning Big Head and his two top-tier first-order salamanders.

The three spirit beasts, having been instructed by their master, were prepared and immediately surrounded Zi Yao, protecting her in the center.

Zi Yao shouted, "Big Head! Concentrate your mind with Xuan Shui, break through illusions and see the truth! Go!"

She activated the Spirit Pet Resonance Contract with all her might, and the phantom of the Beast Taming Artifact appeared above her head, its soft light protecting herself and Chen Qian.

At the same time, clear instructions were transmitted to the minds of the three "big-headed" beasts at his feet through the contract.

Big Head was full of energy. Sensing its master's trust and instructions, it let out a low growl, and its slightly blue body suddenly lit up with dazzling lightning!

The other two newts reacted in the same way.

The lightning condensed on the scales of the three salamanders was activated simultaneously, converging into a condensed bolt of lightning that shot towards a seemingly ordinary patch of gray mist in front of them!

"Fuck!"

Like ice and snow meeting fire, wherever lightning struck, the gray mist churned and dissipated, as if illusory beast shadows were screaming and turning into smoke.

A narrow portal of light slowly appeared where the gray mist dissipated!

"Let's go!" Zi Yao shouted, and without hesitation, she grabbed Chen Qian and led Da Tou and the others towards the light gate.

This seemingly easy and ordinary thing was actually achieved by Zi Yao using the Beast Taming Technique to activate the illusion array, allowing the beast soul to reveal its soul form, which enabled her to break through it in one strike!

Without this technique inherited from the Beast Taming Sect, they would likely have been trapped in an endless, bitter battle.

Chen Qian followed closely behind, passing through a thin film of water. The gray fog in front of them disappeared completely, and the two appeared on a small platform.

In the center of the platform is a stone array plate, about half a person's height, which looks very ancient and heavy.

The array plate is connected to the earth's veins, providing a continuous supply of energy for the illusion array.

"Is this the central array plate of the illusion array, my husband?" Zi Yao asked.

“Not bad.” Chen Qian nodded and said, “Yao’er, put a drop of blood in the center of the array plate, then use the Beast Taming Technique to refine this array plate.”

"Yes, my husband." Zi Yao did as she was told.

A few quarters of an hour later, as the surface of the stone array plate shimmered with light, Zi Yao slowly opened her eyes, her face slightly pale.

Her cultivation was still too shallow. In order to refine the array plate, she almost exhausted her magic power and divine sense.

Fortunately, it was completed successfully.

Chen Qian supported Zi Yao's delicate body, gently channeling his magical power into her body to help her quickly recover her magical strength.

He took out another top-grade first-tier Azure Spirit Pill and gave it to her, asking softly, "Yao'er, are you alright?"

“I’m much better, my husband, you don’t need to worry.” Zi Yao replied softly, “I’ll open the illusion array.”

"Okay." Chen Qian then released his hands that were supporting her body.
