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

Chapter 18 The Art of Harmonizing with the World!

Improving one's strength is certainly a very gratifying thing.

Especially in cases like this, where things happen unexpectedly, you're just doing some work and don't intend to cultivate, but you still make great progress by accident.

It's like doing some cleaning at home and suddenly finding a gold bar in the corner.

It's truly a delightful experience.

The hunger in his stomach intensified, so Chen Qian took out the whole bottle of fasting pills and ate two more.

And so, after finishing the entire bottle of fasting pills, the hunger in my stomach gradually subsided.

Making progress in body cultivation is not without its costs; in addition to having the correct cultivation methods, one also needs to consume sufficient energy.

The intense hunger is a reminder to the body that its reserves are depleted after the advancement and it needs to be replenished by eating as soon as possible.

Clearly, this bottle of fasting pills only initially relieved the body's urgent need; further active supplementation is still required to lay the foundation for future improvement.

Having rested enough and having basically achieved the purpose of coming to Emerald Lake, it's time to head to Fenglin City to pick up Momo.

Just as Chen Qian picked up the Azure Scale Horse again, preparing to leave the Gray Pearl World, a question suddenly occurred to him.

I had absolutely no idea what was going on outside.

I was exhausted when I came in yesterday and all I wanted was to find a safe place to sleep right away.

At the time, my mind was foggy, and I didn't consider that I was in the wild, in a completely exposed place.

If a person and a horse rush out like this, it will be fine if there are no outsiders around. But if someone happens to be nearby, the biggest secret of this portable world may be discovered.

His cultivation level is still too low. He is only at the early stage of Qi Refining and doesn't even have divine sense. He can't even investigate the situation and is completely in the dark.

Who knows what kind of situation we'll encounter once we go out?
Because of its extremely high status, the Gray Pearl World is considered a high-dimensional existence that transcends the Three Realms and is not subject to the Five Elements in relation to the cultivation world outside.

When Chen Qian's true form entered, the Gray Pearl World was independent of the outside world and could not establish any contact with it.

This also ensures the absolute safety of the Gray Pearl world.

Based on this understanding, Chen Qian, who was exhausted and mentally drained yesterday, came in to rest without hesitation.

However, the safety of the Gray Pearl World does not mean that Chen Qian is safe. Right now, Chen Qian is just a lowly ant in the cultivation world. If he goes out and a high-level demon beast happens to pass by and swallows him whole, he might not even have time to react.

Thinking of this, Chen Qian was no longer in a hurry to leave.

Anyway, it will be completely dark outside in a little over an hour. Going out then will reduce our visibility and make us safer.

In addition, Chen Qian suddenly remembered a secret technique he had obtained by chance: "The Harmony with Light and Dust Technique," a rare and valuable concealment technique.

A few days ago, while I was frantically practicing magic in the valley, I liked to read essays and biographies during my breaks to avoid straining my mind too much. These kinds of books are less mentally taxing and are suitable for relaxing the mind and body.

Among the books borrowed from the library was a collection of essays on the classification and cultivation requirements of concealment techniques. Chen Qian felt that the author was of extremely high caliber, writing in a clear and concise manner, with very insightful arguments.

However, upon reading it, Chen Qian discovered that although the book was made of rolled silk, it was surprisingly heavy, which he found quite strange.

Unable to discover the secret despite turning the book over and over, Chen Qian simply took the book to the Gray Pearl world.

Sure enough, once the books entered the Gray Pearl world, the secrets were exposed.

The book's back cover has a hidden compartment containing a gold page crafted using extremely sophisticated weapon-refining techniques. This page contains the secret technique "Harmony with Light and Dust."

If this secret technique were to be revealed, given his current status in the valley, he would absolutely not be qualified to borrow it.

In the world of cultivation, cultivation techniques are categorized into levels such as beginner, intermediate, advanced, standard, fine, rare, profound, and entry-level.

Chen Qian's main cultivation technique, the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique, is only a high-level technique. This is because the technique has high requirements for the cultivator's five elements attributes and physical characteristics. Moreover, this technique only has nine levels and can only be cultivated up to the late stage of Core Formation. It also does not have any accompanying supernatural powers or secret techniques, which seriously lowers the grade of the technique.

It is said that this Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique originated from outside the Dragon Tail Domain. The version circulating within the Dragon Tail Domain is incomplete and can only be considered a simplified, beginner-level version. The "Harmony with Light and Dust Technique" has three levels. Mastering the first level can defend against detection by cultivators of the same level.

The second layer can defend against the detection of cultivators whose cultivation level is no more than one major realm higher than oneself.

The third layer can defend against the detection of cultivators who are no more than two major realms above oneself, and can greatly reduce one's own presence, blending into the surrounding environment and distorting the perception of the cultivators around one.

However, to reach the third level, one must refine the inner core of an ancient, exotic sea mirage beast.

In other words, if Chen Qian had now cultivated to the third level, he could even defend against the detection of a True Person in the early stage of Core Formation.

This was, of course, wishful thinking. Although he had thoroughly mastered the secret technique, he couldn't even get past the first level.

The key to this technique is to use divine sense to guide magical power to cover the entire body, concealing the blood and qi of the physical body, the fluctuations of magical power, and the aura of the soul, thus achieving the effect of concealment.

He hasn't even developed any divine consciousness yet, so he doesn't even meet the basic requirements for cultivation.

Since he wasn't in a hurry to leave, Chen Qian started thinking about improving his cultivation technique and projected his ideas and needs onto the Gray Pearl World.

Let's see if there's any shortcut or quick fix.

Before long, feedback came in, and Chen Qian couldn't help but show a happy expression.

It's actually possible, and the energy loss during the derivation of the Gray Bead World is not significant.

This is because the Gray Pearl World and Chen Qian were originally one, and it was extremely familiar with his physical body, magic power and soul. The "Harmony with Light and Dust Technique" itself was also very advanced, and there were not many places that needed to be derived and improved. Only the operation mode of the first layer needed to be modified. The concealment effect would be slightly worse, but it could still be used.

After being modified by the Gray Pearl World, it became very easy to learn. It could be directly transmitted into Chen Qian's soul, and he learned it instantly.

Of course, he still needs to study it carefully and understand it thoroughly before he can gradually improve his proficiency and operational effectiveness, but there are no major problems in its use.

For now, Chen Qian can only achieve a weakened version of the first level of this technique because he lacks divine sense power.

Once his consciousness arises and meets the minimum requirements of the technique, he will naturally be able to eventually reach the second level of effectiveness.

The third level is something we don't need to think about for now.

This layer is the most essential part of this secret technique, but it's unknown whether the ancient and exotic species like the sea mirage still exists in this world; we can only wait for future opportunities.

Time slipped away quietly as they pondered the secret techniques.

Feeling that it was about time, Chen Qian activated the Harmony with the World Technique, which reduced all his fluctuations and diminished his presence.

It was definitely night outside. I had to go out anyway, so I decided to leave the Azure Scale Horse here and go out alone to check the situation.

With a single thought, the person vanished.

Emerald Lake.

Chen Qian, who had just left the Gray Pearl World, suddenly appeared in a pit less than ten feet deep.

What are you doing?
This place used to be quite flat, but now the tree that tethered the Green-scaled Horse has broken into several pieces and is scattered all over the bottom of the pit.

The intense magical fluctuations around them had not yet subsided.

It was clearly caused by a spell or magical artifact attack from a high-level cultivator.

Chen Qian couldn't discern the specific level of power, but it was at least far beyond the Qi Refining stage.

I couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

If he hadn't gone to cultivate the secret technique and had come out earlier, and happened to encounter such an attack, even if he had mastered the third level of the Harmony with Light and Dust Technique and reached the late stage of the first level of body refinement, it would have been completely useless.

If you don't react in time and don't instantly hide in the gray bead world, you're doomed.
