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

Chapter 221 Breaking the Five Elements Restriction! The World of Fire!

Zi Yao steadied herself and continuously cast incantations into the array plate with both hands.

After one incense stick's time.

After consuming a significant portion of Zi Yao's magical power, the stone array plate finally lost its radiance, and the surrounding environment changed accordingly.

At this moment, the mist and shadows surrounding the platform disappeared.

The two of them found themselves in a dry, spacious stone chamber carved from some kind of blue rock.

This is the secret cave dwelling left by the unknown former owner, as mentioned in Tu Yuanfeng's last words!
Chen Qian glanced around and saw that the portal he had just entered had vanished, as if it had never existed.

If you want to go out the same way, you have to activate the stone array plate again and reopen the illusion array passage.

The cave was somewhat empty.

The most eye-catching thing was the iron-boned fruit tree, which Tu Yuanfeng described in detail.

The fruit tree is not tall, about two or three zhang (approximately 6.6-7.6 meters), with a rugged trunk and branches like pine needles, and dozens of fruits hanging from the branches.

The fruit is dark gray and looks like lumps of iron; it is not pretty at all.

This is the Iron Embryo Fruit, which is extremely useful for body tempering.

This fruit is said to be a rare and magical spiritual object in the cultivation world, useful for any stage of body refinement.

However, the effect of each pill is negligible, and it takes a long time to see noticeable results.

Sure enough, there was a small, clear spring under the fruit tree.

This must be the Spring of Spiritual Eyes.

One of the three major miniature spiritual vein creations in the cultivation world.

The remaining two are the Tree of Spiritual Eyes and the Jewel of Spiritual Eyes.

This experience can be considered Ziyao's first real adventure.

So, the little girl was very excited.

There weren't many things left in the cave. Apart from the fruit trees and the Spirit Eye Spring, most of the rest were low-level items with nothing special about them.

That's normal. Tu Yuanfeng is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He must have taken all the useful things.

But Zi Yao showed no disappointment; instead, she looked around excitedly.

Chen Qian didn't care at all.

Because he knew that the greatest treasure was yet to come!
The Five Elements Gathering Fruit Tree at the core of the grand formation!

A vein of spirit stones underground!

There is also an extremely rare and precious innate spiritual fire!

At this moment, in Chen Qian's sea of ​​consciousness, Aka's adorable loli voice came again: "Master, the initial exploration has been completed... the nodes in the spirit array, however... Aka can only analyze... unable to directly break the array... open the passage."

"It's alright." Chen Qian's eyes shone brightly. "I've got some ideas. That sudden realization I had outside wasn't without its benefits!"

After his epiphany, his understanding of the Five Elements has entered a completely new level.

Within this mysterious underwater formation, the flow of the five elements creates a harmonious and seamless atmosphere.

Chen Qian, immersed in the scene, fully activated his divine sense and divine vision techniques, and after meditating for a while, he felt countless insights welling up in his mind.

He couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Even without obtaining the treasures that followed, the opportunity for enlightenment alone greatly enhanced his combat power.

The trip was well worth it.

……

Within this natural grand formation, apart from the special cave space at the edge, the abundant power of the five elements generated various forms of restrictions in the rest of the area.

It not only blocked the path to the core, but also gave rise to various dangerous realms.

Therefore, this place can be considered the ultimate place for cultivating and comprehending the Five Elements, but it is by no means easy to reach the core of the formation.

Chen Qian walked around the cave and discovered many mysteries.

For example, the stone walls of this cave may appear to be made of blue rocks, but they are actually formed by earth elemental power, making them fundamentally different from ordinary rocks.

If you want to break through the rocks and leave the cave, you can only rely on brute force. Unless you have the strength of the fourth rank or above, you can only honestly use the power of formations and the Five Elements to break through.

Fortunately, as long as one can understand some of the intricacies of the related restrictions, without needing too much power, one can successfully break the restrictions.

This is also because Chen Qian is already inside the great formation.

If the weak point between the two stones cannot be found to enter the formation first, then only a Nascent Soul level formation master can enter.

From this perspective, it seems almost hopeless to try and take all the benefits of this place in a short period of time.

It's just that... my strength doesn't allow it!
However, it should still be feasible to go all out to reach the core of the formation.

Thinking of this, Chen Qian stopped hiding it and brought Su Yueshang, Chen Yunxi, and Jing Hanxing out of the Destiny Wheel Realm.

Regardless of their cultivation level, the three women are considered to be among the top three in Xuanzhu Palace in terms of their talent and ability in array formations.

If we disregard Chen Qian's achievements in cultivation and the Five Elements, and only consider his array formation skills, he is still inferior to Chen Yunxi.

Chen Yunxi: "Husband!"

Su Yueshang: "My lord!"

Jing Hanxing: "My lord!"

The girls addressed each other differently, but they still followed the old custom and did not change it.

Although the Xuanzhu Palace was created out of nowhere for the future development of the Destiny Wheel Realm, Chen Qian and the women's reputations are now vastly different from what they used to be.

However, in their private interactions, they did not deliberately adhere to the rules, which was exactly what Chen Qian hoped for. Women are very smart and would understand.

"You've arrived. Take a look around and get a feel for it," Chen Qian said with a gentle smile, leading the women on a tour of the cave.

After walking around the cave, the women noticed something unusual.

"This is a high-level natural array?!" Su Yuechang, who had the highest achievements in both cultivation and array formations, was the first to confirm the situation.

The other two women had some feelings about it, but they weren't sure yet.

“Not bad!” Chen Qian nodded.

Since Su Yueshang had already figured it out, Chen Qian stopped keeping him in suspense and explained the basic situation.

Then, the information that Aka had discovered was also transmitted into the sea of ​​consciousness of the women through the soul chain.

Su Yueshang and Chen Yunxi were alright, but Jing Hanxing, who was encountering the Divine Soul Chain, a divine skill for the first time, was stunned for quite a while.

Such a secret technique actually exists in the world?!

Does that mean that if you have a good master, you can learn a skill or technique incredibly fast?

Cultivation is a path against the heavens, so it's certainly not that simple. This was just wishful thinking on Jing Hanxing's part.

The Soul Chain does indeed have unique advantages in transmitting simple information.

However, if it is used to teach cultivation techniques and immortality skills, the restrictions are very large.

First, each cultivator's soul has a different capacity to withstand different things. If they receive too much information in a short period of time, it will have a huge impact on their soul and may even damage its very foundation.

Secondly, whether it's cultivation techniques or skills, many insights are the practitioner's own experiences and may not be suitable for others.

Therefore, directly imparting cultivation techniques through a soul chain is not advisable. This is because it places an enormous burden on the recipient's soul, making many of the techniques not only unsuitable but also severely hindering the recipient's future cultivation.

Just as Jing Hanxing was recovering from the miraculous effects of the Soul Chain, she was immediately shocked by the transmitted message.

Su Yueshang and Chen Yunxi are the same.

"what?!"

"Husband, is this the ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment stage cave you described?"

"A spirit stone vein?"

"The Five Elements Gathering Fruit Tree?"

"There's even innate spiritual fire?!"

"This...this is unbelievable!"

Chen Qian knew that the girls would be greatly shocked, so he thoughtfully gave them time to react.

He shrugged and just stood there quietly, smiling as he watched them.

"My lord, even I can't help but be jealous of you. Your luck is truly extraordinary!"

Su Yueshang concluded with a sigh.

"Don't be envious! What belongs to a husband is also his wife's! Hahaha!"

Next, the women, having calmed their emotions, began to study the natural formation as Chen Qian had instructed.

Thanks to the powerful assistance of the information gleaned by Aka, Chen Qian's solid understanding of the Five Elements, and Su Yueshang's abundant magical power, the process of breaking the restriction was quite smooth.

However, this is still a grand formation above the fourth rank, and even if everything goes smoothly, it will still take quite a while.

……

Ten days later.

Following the solution provided by Aka, the Xuanzhu Palace's obstacle-breaking team first solved the Earth Element Wall, and then successively tackled the Golden Qi Tornado, the Water Ring, and the Wooden Vine Maze...

Finally, they were stuck at the fifth barrier—the World of Fire.

This is because the later the restriction, the stronger it becomes; by the fifth one, it was truly terrifying.

This is a seemingly boundless world of fire, a blazing inferno with an extremely high temperature, and countless specks of fire elemental light drifting about.

Even Jing Hanxing, whose cultivation was slightly weaker, couldn't get close, let alone Chen Yunxi.

After much persuasion, Chen Qian finally managed to send the exhausted Chen Yunxi back to the Realm of Destiny to rest.

In the past few days, Chen Yunxi has been focusing on understanding the weak points of the restrictions and has also assisted in refining some array plates and flags that break the restrictions. His mana and physical strength are fine, but the fatigue in his soul is difficult to recover quickly.

After seeing Chen Yunxi off, Chen Qian turned back to look at Su Yueshang and found the Core Formation Fairy gazing at this world of fire, looking thoughtful.

A thought struck him, and he asked, "What's wrong, Yue Chang? Is there something on your mind?"

Su Yuechang remained silent, her orchid-like fingers lightly tapping as she cast a spell towards the restrictions of the Fire World.

As soon as the incantation was cast into the restriction, the previously chaotic and floating fire elemental points in front of her seemed to feel provoked, and suddenly gathered together, transforming into fire crows, fire snakes, and fire dragons, rushing towards Su Yueshang.

Su Yueshang was not flustered at all. Instead, she felt a sense of joy that she had expected this. She casually took out a magical folding fan and used it to block the fire elemental beasts that were pouncing on her.

Soon, the fire elemental beasts that had appeared eventually ran out of steam and slowly dissipated.

Chen Qian was momentarily confused and was about to ask another question when Su Yueshang spoke up: "My lord, I have an idea, hmm, it should be feasible."

"Oh?" Chen Qian exclaimed with delight, "Could it be that my wife has already devised a way to break the restriction?"

Su Yueshang shook her head, tucked a strand of hair that had fallen in front of her eyes behind her ear, and said softly, "No."

Then she winked at Chen Qian and said in a sweet, innocent tone, "Guess!"

Su Yueshang rarely displayed such a playful, girlish demeanor, and Chen Qian was immediately captivated, completely unable to guess what she was doing.

What's the point of breaking any restrictions?
We should use this precious time to do our homework!

Unable to contain himself, Chen Qian stepped forward and performed a series of actions, making Jing Hanxing, who was standing next to him, feel her heart pounding and her face turn red.

This... Your Excellencies, Venerable and Empress, shouldn't you at least avoid people? I haven't left yet.

After playing around, the tension that had been building up for days eased considerably.

……

Su Yueshang's idea was to use this world of fire to refine Chen Qian's natal magic weapon - the Myriad Streams Returning to the Edge Sword!

Furthermore, the third-tier pearl silk that Chen Qian found for her can also be refined into her natal magic treasure, the Bewitching Heart Pipa.

This world of fire is not only filled with the power of fire element, but also gathers the mysteries of the Great Dao of Fire due to the existence of the Nirvana Purification Fire underground, making it an extremely rare place for refining magical treasures!

It is something that can be encountered by chance, but not sought after.

By setting up a suitable fire control array, not only can the consumption of magical power and spiritual energy during the forging of magical treasures be greatly reduced, but the forged magical treasures can also be imbued with some of the aura of the Great Dao rules, thereby greatly increasing their power!
Upon hearing this, Chen Qian was overjoyed.

He was already worried that although Qianlong Mountain had some decent earth fire veins available, their grade was not high, and he was also concerned that they might be able to support his crafting of magical treasures.

If it proves unusable, it's uncertain whether the refining fire array and Su Yueshang's alchemical fire power alone could successfully refine it.

Furthermore, it consumes and spends a great deal of time.

Now that we've found such a wonderful place, the problem has been solved perfectly in an instant.

……

a few days later.

At the bottom of Qingyang Lake, within the natural innate Five Elements Grand Array.

Within the Fire World's barrier, scorching heat waves distorted space, and as far as the eye could see, everything was a pulsating golden-red.

Deeper inside the restricted area, a Five Elements Spirit Gathering and Fire Control Array, jointly set up by Su Yueshang and Chen Qian, finally began to operate stably.

Within the fire control array, several mid-grade spirit stones were embedded in each array node. The array patterns shimmered with light, taming and gathering the raging fire elemental power, providing the two people in the center with the purest and most controllable source of spiritual fire.

At the core of the formation, Chen Qian sat cross-legged, his expression solemn.

Three clusters of spiritual materials floated in front of him, shimmering with various colors of spiritual light.

It was a mass of silvery sand, with tiny specks of silver light flashing within and a chilling aura contained within;
One was a mass of golden sand, like liquid dark gold, exuding the aura of the primordial essence of the Great Dao of Gold;

The last group was Geng metal, its entire body gleaming gold, as if it could cleave through the void.

These three items are the main materials for the Hunyuan Sharp Gold Needle, a small component used to refine Chen Qian's natal magic weapon, the Myriad Streams Returning to the Edge Sword. Each one is extremely precious.

These spiritual materials were originally generated from the realm of life and death, and are all pure and flawless, without any impurities. They are of the highest quality.

They had all been pre-treated by Su Yueshang and nurtured with her magic.

The preparations before forging the magical artifact were meticulously executed.

Su Yueshang sat cross-legged beside Chen Qian, her delicate hand gently stroking the fire control array plate on her lap, beginning to manipulate the power of fire element to maintain a stable output of flames.

"let's start."

Chen Qian took a deep breath and absorbed the scorching and pure fire element into his body. The Dao foundation above his dantian trembled slightly, emitting the Dao rhyme of the Five Elements, which devoured the power of the fire element.

With a thought, the five-tiered Dao platform on the upper part of his Dao foundation circulated with Daoist energy, projecting a magnificent aura into the void before him, and the aura of the Five Elements and the Great Dao flowed.
