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

Chapter 235 Four Beauties Tour the Mountains, Five Sects Gather!
"The new reception area has also been put into use, and some family members who arrived early have already moved in."

Chen Hongyuan continued his report with full confidence.

"The reception area has many superior guest rooms of different specifications and independent spiritual spring courtyards. All of them are personally overseen by the Grand Elder, and all restrictions and formations have been set up without any problems. All the etiquette staff are also the capable members of the clan."

Chen Qian nodded: "That's good. With Seventh Uncle helping me and the Grand Elder overseeing everything, I can relax and be a hands-off manager, hehe."

Chen Yunyi then quietly interjected, "How is the main venue for the ceremony being set up?"

"I was just about to report to the young lady." Chen Hongyuan said as he led the way, "The main venue is the 'Chengtian Terrace' next to Baiyu Square. It has a wide view and is the place where the energy veins of the front mountain converge."

The three walked and talked, admiring the newly decorated Qianlong Mountain, and occasionally offering words of encouragement to the clan disciples who came forward to greet them.

Before long, the group arrived at the White Jade Square in front of the mountain.

The venue is spacious and ingeniously designed, with the reception area nearby, which is the main activity area for the guests of the grand ceremony.

Chengtiantai stands to one side, its height reaching thirty-three zhang, signifying the thirty-three heavens.

The Jade Corridor is built on both sides of Chengtian Terrace, surrounded by crystal lamp pillars. The pillars are engraved with auspicious patterns, making them both beautiful and auspicious.

The main stage directly in front is arranged in several staggered layers, cleverly combined with obsidian and phoenix perch wood. Its simple and grand design exudes a powerful aura and forms a protective ring around it.

More than a hundred craftsmen and monks are meticulously finishing the final details and cleaning.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of new wood and the faint glow of sacred materials.

"The main altar was built according to the traditional style. The main material, obsidian, has a stable and heavy feel, while phoenix wood has the meaning of toughness, longevity, auspiciousness and good fortune."

"The central carving of the cloud and water pattern is perfectly in line with the atmosphere of Qianlong Mountain."

Chen Hongyuan became more and more excited as he spoke, "On the day of the ceremony, the array will be fully activated, the spiritual energy here will be as thick as fog, and colorful clouds will naturally gather and surround it, which will surely be a spectacular sight!"

Chen Qian walked slowly along the edge of the platform, reaching out to run his hand over the smooth, polished railing. The feel of it was warm and smooth, like jade. "It's very well arranged. It's both beautiful and impressive, and it's also practical. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Qi."

Chen Hongyuan cupped his hands in greeting: "This is my duty, and also the honor of the entire clan. How could I not do my best? Haha!"

Chen Qian's gaze swept across the entire venue, taking in every detail.

The venue setup not only highlighted the grandeur of Qianlong Mountain and the Chen family's current prosperity, but also exuded elegance and solemnity in the details, truly demonstrating its extraordinary nature.

The wonders of the cultivation world are evident. Various phenomena that are invisible on Earth can be easily created here, greatly broadening the horizons of this "country bumpkin".

Chen Qian's gaze swept across the venue and looked down the mountain.

On the bluestone road leading into the mountain, in addition to the supply transport teams that have gathered from all over, there are also small Qi Refining families that are attached to the Chen family, such as the Chu family and the Tantai family, who are Chen Qian's prospective in-laws. They have all arrived early.

Thinking of those delicate and fragrant beauties, Chen Qian felt a surge of desire.

However, one should not meet with them before the ceremony, otherwise it would be against etiquette.

This grand foundation-building and joint cultivation ceremony gradually became a reality amidst the sweat and anticipation of the Chen family members.

A profound sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the future quietly welled up in my heart.

He held Chen Yunyi's slender hand beside him and whispered, "The preparations are very thorough."

Chen Yunyi returned a gentle gaze without saying anything more.

Just then, Chen Qian's brow twitched slightly. His powerful spiritual sense detected the voices of several young girls talking, coming from a small stone path at the edge of the White Jade Plaza—

These voices, crisp and clear, each carry a unique charm—sometimes sweet and innocent, sometimes serene and detached, sometimes pure and simple, sometimes gentle and delicate—that delight the listener.

……

Chen Qian and Chen Yunyi went hiking together. Several of his future brides, who were not yet married but had already arrived at Qianlong Mountain, were also traveling together.

On the eastern slope of Qianlong Mountain, clouds and mist swirl around, and streams murmur softly.

On a winding bluestone path, four graceful figures were walking slowly. They were Chu Lingyi, Tantai Tianxiang, Han Youwei, and Sun Xueluo.

The Zhao and Qian families held high positions, which is why Zhao Jingni and Qian Yuzheng had not yet arrived.

However, the four small Qi Refining families who had already betrothed to Chen Qian naturally did not dare to put on airs as in-laws. They organized a wedding procession early on and sent their daughters to Qianlong Mountain.

The four families were of similar status, so they were naturally assigned to live in adjacent places.

Because the four women share a common destiny—they are all about to become concubines of the master of Qianlong Mountain.

Therefore, their similar circumstances and similar ages allowed the four women to quickly get to know each other and become acquainted.

At the suggestion of the lively Chu Lingyi, the four girls decided to travel together to Qianlong Mountain.

"Wow! This Qianlong Mountain is full of spiritual energy! It's a hundred times better than my little hill!" Chu Lingyi was the most lively, and her neat light yellow outfit made her look energetic.

She took a deep breath and jumped up suddenly. The hard bluestone under her feet made a slight "creaking" sound, and a few fallen leaves beside the path were shaken and flew up.

"Watch my kick, how powerful is it?" She laughed heartily, her bright eyes curiously scanning the surroundings, her naturally strong bones seemingly containing inexhaustible energy.

Following behind her, Tantai Tianxiang walked slowly, her plain blue dress almost blending into the mountain mist.

“Lingyi, a girl should be more composed,” Tantai Tianxiang said calmly, her voice like an echo in a valley. “You’re about to become a bride. Luckily, it’s just the few of us here.”

"Oh, it's okay! There's no one else here!" Chu Lingyi replied with a smile.

“Oh! Hmm~ There’s a Seven-Leaf Star Grass here, perfect for making a Tranquilizing Pill.” Tantai Tianxiang’s gaze lingered on a small grass with purple leaves not far away.

However, this was Qianlong Mountain after all, not some desolate wilderness, so she wouldn't take it rashly.

At eighteen years old, his eyes held a gentleness and maturity beyond his years.

"The spiritual energy here is indeed abundant, and the mountain's shape also faintly suggests the tempering of metal and fire, indicating that it has been adjusted by a geomancer."

Han Youwei's voice came from further behind, clear and crisp, her crimson outfit highlighting her tall and straight figure.

She walked with a steady gait, a resolute expression, and sharp eyes. Faint electric sparks occasionally flickered around her, indicating that she had cultivated some kind of lightning-based technique, but had not yet grasped its essence and could not control it freely.

"So...so beautiful mountains and forests." Behind Han Youwei was a slender figure, who timidly murmured.

She was Sun Xueluo from Qingyan Mountain. She had the best spiritual root, but her cultivation level was the lowest among all the women.

She was wrapped in a thick, snow-white velvet-trimmed cloak, and her small face, no bigger than a palm, was slightly pale from the mountain wind, making her voice sound somewhat weak.

"It's just... a bit cold." She subconsciously pulled her cloak tighter, her slender figure resembling a snowflake that could be swept away by the wind at any moment.

“Sister Xue Luo’s body is still too weak,” Tantai Tianxiang turned around and walked to Sun Xue Luo’s side, took the latter’s slender hand, and slowly transferred a peaceful wood-attribute magic power to her. “After some time, when I understand your constitution, I will definitely prescribe some pills to nourish your meridians and resist the cold.”

"Thank you so much, Sister Tianxiang," Sun Xueluo said gratefully in a low voice, her face flushed with a rosy glow from the care she received.

"Xue Luo is afraid of the cold, how about we head towards Baiyutai?" Chu Lingyi said. "I remember the manager of Songge saying that there is a temperature-regulating array there, so it is not affected by the cold air in the mountains." "Alright," Han Youwei made a decisive decision. "There will be plenty of opportunities to travel in the future, so there is no need to rush."

The girls quickly reached a consensus and headed towards Baiyu Square.

We chatted and laughed all the way, making it a relaxed and pleasant experience.

This actually reflects the women's mindset quite well—they had no resentment towards the marriage; on the contrary, they had beautiful hopes for it.

Although she was only Chen Qian's concubine, her status was not high.

But their husbands were handsome and young Foundation Establishment cultivators, whom they admired and revered from the bottom of their hearts.

……

Chen Qian never expected to "encounter" these young ladies in Baiyu Square before the grand ceremony. Of course, he only used his divine sense to "look" at them and did not go up to talk to them.

His spiritual sense has been continuously improving, and it is now nearly two hundred feet long. The young ladies have just entered the range of his spiritual sense.

However, due to the numerous venue arrangements separating the two, the young ladies could not see him, but he could see them clearly.

When Chu Lingyi and her companions arrived at Baiyu Square, they knew it was an important place, so they did not dare to act rashly. They simply looked around from the edge and talked in hushed tones.

They were, of course, unaware that their future husbands were carefully observing them.

……

Beast Taming Sect, Welcoming Valley.

Several months have passed since the last time the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm ended, but this place has obviously not changed much.

However, the people who came were quite different.

Li Juefeng, Wanyan De, Lin Jing, Mingxing Che, and the three beauties of Zuiyue all gathered here again.

At this moment, the group arrived at the Hundred Beasts Plain. The camaraderie forged in the past, fighting against the orcs together in the secret realm and sharing life and death, made their reunion warm and joyful.

When they reunited, everyone had made great progress in strength, and all of them had successfully established their foundation!

These people had already reached the peak of Qi Refining before entering the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, but they delayed their advancement in order to be able to enter the secret realm.

After completing the secret realm quest and engaging in a passionate clash with the minotaurs, most players gained considerable rewards, making their advancement even smoother.

Now that they have reunited, everyone's cultivation has become stable, and their auras are all very profound, clearly indicating that their foundations are quite extraordinary.

Especially Li Juefeng, whose divine light was restrained, but the opening and closing of his eyes seemed to cause sword light to appear in the void in front of him, which must be because he had comprehended some kind of peerless sword intent.

"Brother Li, Brother Lin, Fairy Ming, and all the fairies of Drunken Moon Palace, hello!" Wanyan De of the Crimson Flame Sect spoke first.

After he achieved foundational enlightenment, he shaved his head, revealing a large, shiny forehead that was quite conspicuous.

Li Juefeng stood silently, nodding slightly, without responding.

He has always been aloof. This former leader of Qi Refining in the Hidden Edge Pavilion now possesses an unknown sword intent that is far stronger than it was in the secret realm.

"Brother Li's sword intent is so powerful that even a Core Formation expert would take notice," Lin Jing said with a gentle smile.

Everyone knows that after he established his foundation, he successfully contracted an extremely rare spirit beast, greatly increasing his combat power, but no one knows what kind it is.

"Greetings, senior brothers and sisters." After Mingxing Che established his foundation, his ethereal and pure temperament became even more prominent, and invisible starlight seemed to flow around him.

The three beauties of Drunken Moon have also changed a lot.

Yun Meng'er's aura is profound and unpredictable, and the flow of magical formations in her every move is a natural and seamless expression.

Liu Xuer grew taller and her figure became more slender and graceful. As she swayed lightly, a faint, illusory halo appeared and disappeared around her.

Han Yin'er remained as aloof as ever, but the rhythmic beauty emanating from her entire being was extremely captivating.

The three women, each with their own distinct temperament, were like three twin celestial flowers, pure and ethereal.

"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Wanyan, and Xiao Cheche are all well." Yun Meng'er and the other two girls smiled gently, their voices clear and melodious.

Upon hearing "Little Cheche's" words, Mingxing Che's face turned slightly red.

Since the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, she can't shake off the nickname "Little Cheche" in the Drunken Moon Palace.

After exchanging pleasantries, the conversation quickly turned to the joint mission between the various immortal sects.

Wanyan Detongling's big eyes widened, and he slapped his shiny forehead, shouting, "My uncle said that this mission is to completely take over Kurosawa Plain!"

“That’s right,” Lin Jing, a core disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, solemnly took over the conversation. “Black Marsh Plain has always been a major threat to the south of our Li Kingdom. If we want to expand southward, we must start by attacking it.”

"Kurosawa Plains?" Li Juefeng's finger paused slightly. "Is that the territory of the Void Demon Emperor?"

“That’s right, it’s the territory occupied by the demon kings under the command of the Void Demon Emperor,” Lin Jing said in a deep voice. “It’s seventy or eighty thousand miles away from the Void Main Island. There are three extremely troublesome demon kings entrenched there!”

"A three-headed demon king?" Liu Xuer's pretty face slightly frowned. The three of them knew that their destination was the territory of a third-tier demon king, but they did not know that there were as many as three demon kings there.

Even the weakest demon king is beyond the reach of those in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"The first one!"

Lin Jing's tone was solemn, "It's the 'Iron-Scaled Crocodile King' that occupies a large area of ​​mudflats in the western part of the Black Swamp Plains."

"This beast's scales are comparable to black iron and refined gold, and it possesses immense strength. It can also spew out concentrated acidic poison that can melt gold and corrode iron! The area where it dwells is home to countless thick-skinned swamp crocodiles and poisonous lizards, making it extremely difficult to deal with."

"The second one!"

Lin Jing's gaze swept over everyone. "It is called the 'Mysterious Winged Serpent King,' and it resides on a large island in the center of the Black Swamp Plain that is perpetually shrouded in poisonous miasma."

"This demon king has wings growing from his ribs, and moves like lightning. His deadly poison not only corrodes bones and muscles, but also damages the soul! He also commands countless poisonous creatures, stirring up miasma in the sky."

"The third one is the most troublesome!"

Lin Jing emphasized, "It's the 'Raging Wave Rhinoceros King' that controls the Thousand-Mile Black Swamp! This demon is covered in black crystalline bone armor, making it incredibly defensive."

"Its most terrifying ability is that it can stir up large areas of water with its demonic power, forming a raging torrent that can destroy mountains and collapse peaks. It possesses extremely strong destructive power, and most of the water monsters in the swamp obey its commands."

Listening to Lin Jing's description, everyone vividly imagined the image of the powerful three-headed demon king that occupied the vast black swamp.

Even Li Juefeng's expression became more serious.

Having just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, facing such a colossal demon made these young prodigies of the immortal sects, who had just shed their novice status, feel quite uneasy.
