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

Chapter 223 Testing the Sword! Parting!
"Boom—!"

As if sensing the birth of the world's natal magic weapon, the world's main spiritual vein roared as soon as Chen Qian entered the Destiny Wheel Realm, and the rolling golden energy in the metal element primordial space resonated with Chen Qian's metal element Dao Platform.

Chen Qian looked inward at his dantian foundation and saw that the newly forged pale golden magic sword was brazenly coiled on the metal-elemental platform, frantically absorbing the metal-elemental Dao essence and Chen Qian's magic power.

Chen Qian's magical power was of extremely high quality, and he also possessed a metal-type Dao Platform derived from the rules of the Great Dao, which barely met the needs of the Myriad Streams Returning to the Edge Sword.

Clearly, the newly created natal magic weapon was truly hungry.

Normally, magical treasures need to be nourished with elixir, but Chen Qian certainly cannot provide that now.

This made "He" somewhat "dissatisfied".

Not enough to eat, and too slow!

Chen Qian felt somewhat helpless.

It seems that I can forget about making any progress in my cultivation level in the short term.

An "unwelcome guest" has arrived in my dantian—a gluttonous beast.

"Don't lie down yet, get out and get to work!"

Chen Qian and Su Yueshang arrived in the void a thousand feet above the Five Qi Buzhou Ruins, allowing the Fate Wheel Realm to evolve into a separate spatial domain.

He was going to test the power of the Myriad Streams Returning to the Edge Sword, and Su Yueshang was naturally his only opponent.

Coincidentally, her natal magic weapon, the Bewitching Pipa, also advanced to a higher level and had the same need.

The two faced each other a hundred feet apart, but there was no imposing aura between them. Instead, they seemed to be gazing at each other with tender affection.

Chen Qian stretched out his palm, and ripples spread in front of him, with all streams converging and gathering in his palm.

The golden light gradually subsided, and the magic sword floating in front of Chen Qian was completely clear, with inner radiance. On the surface, it was impossible to tell that it was composed of more than a hundred Hunyuan Sharp Gold Needles!

It seems to have been formed as a single piece, perfectly natural!

According to Su Yuechang's careful sensing, this sword-shaped magical artifact is at least of superior grade.

Because it absorbed a lot of the aura of the Five Elements Dao rules during the refining process, and imprinted the Great Restriction of the Heavenly Cycle in the Yin-Yang Domain, and used a large amount of materials sufficient to refine a spiritual treasure, the grade of this treasure cannot be defined by common sense.

"Watch out, Yue Chang!"

Seeing that Su Yueshang had already set up several layers of defense and taken out the Bewitching Pipa, Chen Qian no longer hesitated, made a sword finger gesture, and slowly thrust forward.

He poured all his powerful magic and divine sense into the sword without reservation.

In the Wheel of Fate, he was not afraid of losing control and could use his methods to his heart's content!
As for the Destiny Wheel Realm, which has reached its current level of perfection and is not too far from the Lesser Thousand Worlds, it can fully withstand Su Yueshang's full-force attack in the early stage of Core Formation.

This battle is definitely the strongest clash between the two right now!

Su Yueshang had made ample preparations, setting up three major defensive spells in front of her: Sound Barrier, Hurricane Ring, and Qi Yuan Shield.

The three spells were created by Su Yueshang with great effort and were extremely powerful. Compared with the spells previously cast by Master Liefeng, the latter were as laughable as rotten paper.

That wasn't all. Su Yueshang then summoned her defensive magic weapon—the Azure Jade Ring—which hovered above her head.

The jade ring emitted a soft, crystalline light, and like a long waterfall, it cascaded down a solid curtain of light, firmly enveloping Su Yueshang within it.

Finally, she gently swayed the Bewitching Pipa in her hand, her jade fingers brushing across it, and a clear, ethereal melody rang out, meeting the oncoming longsword head-on.

This response was the limit of what Su Yueshang could muster.

Aside from not activating any talismans for defense, we used everything we could.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that the attack power of the pipa sound had indeed increased by several times after being refined with third-order pearl silk!

All the effort you put in was worth it!
Once the Myriad Streams Return to the Edge Sword was unleashed, it seemed to grow larger in the wind, transforming into a giant sword several tens of feet long. With an indomitable momentum, it swept across a hundred feet of space in an instant!

First, the beautiful sound of the pipa collided with the sharp edge of the giant sword!

The sword trembled slightly, and in an instant, the celestial music stopped abruptly, and the giant sword swept past without any hesitation.

Seeing this power, Su Yueshang was slightly lost in thought. She clearly sensed that with the magic weapon by his side, her husband's combat strength was no less than hers.

I'm still a little disappointed!

However, I felt mostly relieved.

My lord has grown up so fast! Now he's old enough to shelter her from the wind and rain.

As his natal magic weapon, Chen Qian clearly sensed that Su Yueshang's casual strike had actually consumed about 30% of the power of the Myriad Streams Returning to the Edge Sword.

The greatsword continued its downward slash.

"Boom!"

"Hey!"

"Bah!"

Three slightly different sounds rang out in succession.

The three layers of defense that Su Yuechang had set up were all destroyed.

"boom-!"

The final sound came from the giant sword striking the protective shield of the Azure Jade Ring.

The offensive was finally completely stopped!
Chen Qian unleashed a powerful attack, exhausting all his strength, but he was unable to continue attacking.

Besides, there's no need for that; the two aren't really fighting each other.

I just wanted to test the power of the sword.

Next, Chen Qian disintegrated the sword, turning it into a rain of needles;
It transformed into the Myriad Streams Shield, defending against several of Su Yueshang's attacks;

Finally, they were combined into something resembling a vest, which they then wore.

This treasure is incredibly versatile, with each type having its own purpose, which greatly pleased Chen Qian.

It seems that making the first choice to refine this magical artifact was indeed the right one.

It perfectly matched his fighting style and catered to all his needs.

The divine blade is in its initial stages, awaiting the day it is unleashed and draws blood. Its brilliance will surely illuminate the world and astound the world!
……

After leaving Wanling City, Chen Qian first wiped out the Yao family's fake alchemy team, took in nearly 10,000 people from Firethorn Village, and built Firethorn City in the Yunmeng Wilderness.

In search of Tu Yuanfeng's secret cave, they came to Qingyang County in the heart of the Dayao Dynasty, where they discovered the Innate Five Elements Grand Array at the bottom of Qingyang Lake and encountered an unparalleled opportunity.

Next, they used the fire world restriction within the great formation to refine magical artifacts, and fortunately, they succeeded.

Before we knew it, two months had passed.

However, the closer these restrictions are to the core of the formation, the more complex they become.

Upon arriving at the Fire World level, neither Chen Qian nor Su Yueshang were confident of quickly breaking through it in a short period of time.

There are even more complex restrictions ahead, making it impossible to quickly reach the core of the formation and seize the greatest benefits for the time being.

Although all of Chen Qian's closest family members were by his side except for Chen Yunyi, his trip, including the time spent in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm and advancing to Foundation Establishment, had lasted for half a year.

Although he was away from home, Chen Qian would contact Chen Yunyi every few days, so he was not out of the loop and knew that the Chen family was being suppressed by the Wang family.

After advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage in Wanling City, Chen Qian, through Chen Yunyi, discussed with his family that a Foundation Establishment ceremony would be held in Qianlong Mountain a hundred days later, where he would also marry his beloved. Calculating the time, there was only a little over a month left until the ceremony.

The family has mobilized a great deal of manpower and resources to prepare for the ceremony, in order to showcase the current prosperity of the Chen family. Chen Qian is undoubtedly the protagonist and absolutely cannot linger outside.

Let alone having only a month or so left, even without a time limit, with Chen Qian and Su Yueshang's current cultivation levels, it would be impossible for them to quietly seize this great opportunity.

It's time to head back to Qianlong Mountain.

Further actions will require further consideration.

However, before leaving, there's no reason not to let go of anything that can be obtained first.

The spirit stone vein at the bottom of the lake is not particularly large, but according to Aka's exploration, the quality of the vein is definitely of high quality.

While the ore in the core area is inaccessible, a small portion of the outer area, protected by a broken barrier, can be mined.

Su Yueshang possessed the advanced second-tier skill of Dragon Vein Interception. Chen Qian gathered all the personnel of Xuanzhu Palace, and under Su Yueshang's command, they set up the Dragon Vein Interception Formation.

In just one day, the small portion of spirit stone ore was successfully moved into the Destiny Wheel Realm.

The large cavity left behind was solidified by Chen Qian and Su Yueshang using a solidification technique, ensuring the cave structure's strength and stability.

He didn't want this hidden innate Five Elements Grand Array to be destroyed due to the collapse of the cave, causing the spirit mines, fruit trees, and spirit fire to appear in the world.

Even Nascent Soul Ancestors would be envious of these things and would definitely fight for them.

These raw ores that were moved into the Realm of Destiny, after stripping away the useless waste stones, yielded approximately several hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, accounting for about one-tenth of the total reserves.

Removing spirit stones is a delicate and mentally taxing task.

However, Chen Qian had no intention of doing anything; instead, he simply threw all the raw ore into the Chaos Pool.

Chen Qian plans to use all of these spirit stones on the evolution of the two primordial spaces of the main spiritual vein: the fire element and the earth element.

Currently, neither of these two primordial spaces has taken shape, which greatly limits the development of the Destiny Wheel Realm.

……

With everything arranged and all that could be done and that should be taken completed, Chen Qian prepared to set off back to Qianlong Mountain.

Before leaving, Chen Qian asked Aka to transmit the images of the core of the great array he had monitored to his mind.

The core of this grand formation was permeated with the aura of the Five Elements, and colorful spiritual mist floated all around, yet it looked like a small hill in an ordinary mountain village.

On the top of the small hill, there grows a lush green tree several meters tall.

The tree has gnarled branches and leaves that display a strange phenomenon of flowing, multicolored light. On the top branches, several fist-sized fruits, shrouded in a hazy, colorful glow, are prominently displayed, exuding spiritual energy and natural charm!

The image is not very clear due to the influence of the Five Elements restriction, but it is still faintly visible that there are about seven or eight fruits on the branches.

An astonishing number!

It is estimated that the fruit has been left unharvested for many years, which is why such a magnificent sight has appeared in the world!
According to the book "Comprehensive View of Mysterious Things," "The Five Elements Gathering Fruit Tree is a primordial minor spiritual root that requires eight hundred years to grow before it can bear fruit. Its fruit is a rare treasure formed from the condensation of the five elements' Daoist essence. If a cultivator uses it, he can harmonize the five elements and aid in the formation of the true elixir. However, this tree only bears one fruit per cycle, and each fruit needs to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, taking three hundred years to mature. Only after one fruit is formed can a new bud sprout, undergoing another cycle of nurturing."

Simply put, the Five Qi Gathering Fruit must grow one by one, and each one takes three hundred years to grow!
But now Chen Qian saw that there were clearly seven or eight fruits on the branch!

In other words, this tree has been growing here for at least three thousand years.

It's highly likely that there are more than that.

Because in such a long period of time, even if the ripe fruit is not picked by anyone, it may still fall, rot, and return to the world.

It's even possible that... some extraordinary people have come to this place and picked some of it!
Over such a long period of time, the roots of the fruit trees grew deeply and harmoniously with the great array at the bottom of the lake, eventually becoming the source of the flow of wood-type energy within the array, which makes perfect sense.

……

When it came to setting out, Chen Qian wouldn't foolishly follow the original path. Instead, he used the boundary gate of the Myriad Beasts Heaven to arrive unnoticed a thousand feet above Qingyang Lake.

Heading towards the core, the barrier is too strong to be used, but going outwards, he can be trapped.

Moreover, Chen Qian also had Aka leave a spatial anchor point in the secret cave, right next to the Iron Embryo Fruit Tree. Since the fruit had already been picked and they would come back again, there was no rush to move it away.

As for the entrance between the two stones, after Chen Qian focused on studying the weak point of the formation for several hours, he finally understood the obstacle.

The reason for this is that when the five elements of the great formation flowed to this point, their circulation was not smooth, resulting in stagnation.

Working together with Su Yueshang, they managed to slightly move a boulder that was obstructing the flow of the five energies, and successfully resolved the problem.

As a result, the formation moved more smoothly and became even more powerful than before.

It's more discreet and safer.

perfect!

……

Under the night sky, Qingyang Lake shimmered with the moonlight, and twinkling lights dotted the distant shore, creating a harmonious scene.

The moonlight was enchanting, and the scenery on the lake was vast, desolate, and timeless.

After spending so many days hiding at the bottom of the lake, Chen Qian's mindset suddenly became much more open.

Thinking of what he had gained from this trip, Chen Qian really wanted to let out a long roar to release the surging emotions in his heart.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking.

After all, it's nighttime, and disturbing someone's peaceful sleep like this is truly inconsiderate.

He smiled, glanced at Su Yueshang beside him, and even though they hadn't parted yet, there was already a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

During this time, the two worked together as husband and wife, sharing the same goals and working in harmony to decipher and break the great formation.

They were inseparable, sharing a bed and living side by side, their love as deep as glue.

Their relationship naturally became more harmonious and profound.

Even though the two were practically husband and wife and had vowed to walk together for life.

But spending such a long time together was a first for both of them.

"My lord, please don't look at me like that, or how can I leave?" Su Yueshang's sorrow at parting was even greater than Chen Qian's. "But I am not only your wife, but also a Core Formation Elder of the Drunken Moon Palace."

"I know." Chen Qian put his arm around his beloved wife's waist and buried his head in her fragrant hair.

With the battle for the first time approaching, Drunken Moon Palace would have to mobilize the majority of its forces, so Su Yuechang had no choice but to leave.

"Soon, my husband and I will meet again." Su Yueshang released the Phantom Comb, a top-grade flying artifact shaped like a crescent moon emitting a faint spiritual light. "Besides, we can also exchange information about our situation every day through the Primordial Token, which is almost the same as me being by my husband's side."

"Yue Chang, take care."

"My lord, take care and be well."

A few breaths later, the faint light following the Phantom Comb's flight path completely disappeared.

Chen Qian withdrew his gaze and expanded the range of the Harmony with the World Technique.

Amidst the ripples in space, Jin Dou's majestic and imposing form emerged.

"Let's go! Little Golden Bean, let's...go home!"
