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

Chapter 63 Exploring the Treasure!

While pondering a way to break the deadlock, Chen Qian transmitted his voice to Chen Yunyi: "You have the Second Elder's communication talisman, right? Tell him to be careful and not to miss his whereabouts."

Although the Second Elder is certainly a mature and prudent person, he would not make any moves that would alert the enemy when the situation is still unclear.

However, the situation here is clearly very complicated, so it is only right to offer a reminder.

It's common practice for senior members of a family to exchange communication tokens in case of emergency; this is an unspoken rule.

Chen Yunyi nodded in agreement, took out the Second Elder's communication talisman, whispered something, and then activated it with a spell.

The message talisman transformed into a streak of light and vanished in an instant.

This magical talisman truly mastered concealment to the extreme; whether activating or transmitting it, Chen Qian barely sensed any fluctuations in its magical power.

Chen Qian then continued to instruct, "You must also keep a close eye on the Ancestor's communication talisman and see when it can be activated, then quickly inform the Ancestor of the situation."

Chen Yunyi looked at Chen Qian with tender eyes and nodded again to indicate that she understood.

Chen Qian sensed the special meaning in the gaze, and looking at his wife's older sister who resembled a fairy in the moonlight, his thoughts were momentarily unsettled.

If the circumstances had allowed, he would have loved to make a few flirtatious remarks.

He cursed himself inwardly, gathered his thoughts, and focused his energy on exploring his surroundings and figuring out how to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he remembered the mirror-shaped fruit that had recently been born on the Xuan Tian Sacred Tree in his own Gray Pearl World.

This is a treasure for exploration.

Chen Qian communicated with the Gray Pearl World and quickly figured out the conditions for using this fruit.

Once the fruit is activated, you can set specific targets or a certain area for detailed exploration.

For example, Chen Qian can use this fruit to set the area within a few miles at the foot of Bijia Mountain as the exploration range, so that he can have a detailed understanding of the various situations in this area.

As long as the individual beings within this area are no stronger than Foundation Establishment stage, they cannot escape the fruit's detection.

The defensive and offensive treasures produced by the Xuan Tian Sacred Tree have only reached the threshold of the Foundation Establishment stage in terms of energy level. However, the exploration treasure with this special function has a more unique range of energy use, which increases the exploration energy level and can cover the entire Foundation Establishment stage with its power.

Having learned the specific usage method, Chen Qian no longer hesitated, communicated with the Gray Pearl World, and retrieved this treasure of exploration.

This is a magical fruit shaped like a mirror, emitting mysterious fluctuations and radiating a faint glow.

When Chen Yunyi saw Chen Qian suddenly take out such an item, she couldn't help but be very curious.

"what is this?"

Chen Qian, of course, did not hide anything and explained to her, "This is a magical treasure that can detect the surrounding situation."

"Let me investigate thoroughly to find out just how many treacherous individuals are lurking around here."

After saying that, he activated the exploration treasure with a thought.

The fruit floated up and stopped in front of Chen Qian, its light bursting forth instantly.

Chen Qian was immediately startled. If the enemy family members lurking not far away saw this, it would be disastrous.

Chen Yunyi also hurriedly made hand seals, preparing to cover up the situation.

But they soon discovered that the light emitted by the fruit only extended a few feet before quickly dissipating into the void, and could not be seen if one moved even slightly away from the fruit.

The fruit began to spin in the void, and after a few breaths, it suddenly transformed into a stream of light and rushed directly into Chen Qian's brow.

Chen Qian immediately stopped moving, closed his eyes, and began to digest the various information the fruit had gleaned. In Chen Qian's sea of ​​consciousness, a multi-layered, three-dimensional model of the area several miles in circumference at the foot of Bijia Mountain unfolded like a scroll.

Sure enough, a group of cultivators were hidden in that pile of rocks, their clothing similar to that of the Zhou family cultivators who had been killed by Chen Qian with a single punch earlier.

It was clearly a member of the Zhou family; three or four were at the late stage of Qi Refining, and more than ten were at the middle stage of Qi Refining. Their strength was quite remarkable.

Although they were huddled among the rocks, afraid to come out, as night fell, they began to peek out and observe their surroundings.

Chen Qian had already spotted one or two of the more active ones from the tree, but he simply didn't know there were so many of them hiding there.

In the dense forest to the right of the jade boat, a group of cultivators was also lying in ambush, with a similar personnel configuration to the Zhou family cultivators in the pile of rocks.

Judging from their pale yellow robes, they were all cultivators from the Wu family of Jinshiya.

Both groups of cultivators had set up arrays to conceal their auras in their hiding places. Although they weren't particularly sophisticated, they were enough to roughly deceive the spiritual senses of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Of course, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator investigates carefully, they will definitely be discovered instantly; if they only give it a cursory glance, they may be deceived.

Sometimes, all you need is that one moment of surprise.

Although these people were numerous, in Chen Qian's eyes they were nothing more than chickens and dogs, not worth causing him much emotional fluctuation.

Even though he had never actually fought someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining or even the peak of Qi Refining, he felt no fear whatsoever.

The key is that three Foundation Establishment cultivators are hidden in this area.

In the dense forest, besides the cultivators from the Wu family, there was also a powerful cultivator at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage sitting quietly on one of the large trees, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.

Two other foundation-building experts were hiding in a small hole concealed among the weeds on the earthen slope.

One was a burly man wearing dark blue rattan armor, whose magical power surged like waves. He held a trident and his cultivation level was at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

The other was an elderly man in a gray robe and tall hat. His aura was significantly stronger than that of the burly man next to him, and Chen Qian felt that he was no weaker than Chen Ruiang.

His father-in-law, Chen Hongming, had given him a jade slip containing information about the surrounding families, so Chen Qian was familiar with the information about these three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The man sitting cross-legged on the big tree in the dense forest, meditating, is Wu Yiqian, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Wu family; the burly man in the earthen cave is Zhou Libo, the Ancestor of the Zhou family; and the old man with the tall hat is Lu Zhengting, the Ancestor of the Lu family.

Lu Zhengting's cultivation level was comparable to Chen Ruiang's, both being at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Besides these people, there are also one or two cultivators hiding in some secluded places throughout the area. They are probably preparing to annihilate the Qi Refining cultivators of the Chen family who are besieged. After all, it is easier to kill the enemy by striking unexpectedly.

The Lu family's scheme was quite meticulous, half of it being an open conspiracy.

The possible situations from all sides have been basically considered.

They were determined to keep Chen Ruiang here, and even if they couldn't keep him, they would at least severely damage him.

Even if Chen Ruiang guessed their purpose, he couldn't possibly give up on Chen Hongming without making an effort before realizing that things were hopeless.

Besides these hiding cultivators, Guozi also discovered several areas near the Azure Jade Boat, all of which had faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.

There appear to be traces of an array being set up.

Chen Qian hadn't even mastered the basics of formations, so of course he couldn't see anything. But that didn't matter; if he transmitted this information to Chen Yunyi, she should be able to discern some clues.

Thinking of this, Chen Qian took out a blank jade slip, copied all the information discovered by the exploration treasure into the jade slip, and handed it to Chen Yunyi.
