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

Chapter 99 Piercing Mountains and Cranes! The Profound Mystery of the Origin!
Time passed quickly as Chen Qian studied the Earth Escape Talisman and practiced meditation.

After adjusting himself to peak condition, Chen Qian left the Gray Pearl World and continued his attempt to go deeper underground.

After receiving special training in drawing talismans, Chen Qian's proficiency in earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of escaping technique) increased, and he indeed managed to burrow several feet deeper.

However, the escape speed is too slow and the mana consumption is too high, so it's better to get the spiritual vein first.

Chen Qian finally took out the Earth Escape Talisman that he had prepared for a long time.

After activating the talisman, the Earth Escape Talisman transformed into a ball of clear light, tightly enveloping Chen Qian's body.

Chen Qian could clearly feel that this ball of clear light was more solid and resilient than the one he had unleashed.

Since it wasn't cast by oneself, the spiritual patterns of the spell cannot be directly observed, but the duration of the spell can be judged by the consumption of the clear light.

Chen Qian certainly wouldn't let the power of the talisman be wasted, so he quickly plunged downwards.

As expected, with Qingguang's protection, the descent became easier and faster, and Qingguang was also rapidly depleting.

Chen Qian desperately poured his magic power into Qingguang, trying to prolong its existence as much as possible.

After traveling another hundred feet underground, even with the infusion of Chen Qian's magic power, the clear light was finally exhausted and dissipated.

Normally, a talisman used for underground travel can travel a distance of more than a hundred feet underground. However, because Chen Qian was constantly going deeper underground, the power of the talisman was consumed much faster than when traveling in a parallel direction.

According to feedback from the Gray Pearl World, the aura of the spiritual vein's origin becomes stronger the further down you go, proving that the direction is correct.

But how much deeper should we go? That's uncertain.

"It seems I can't take any chances and try to save that Mountain-Penetrating Talisman." Chen Qian gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "There's a high chance that I'll run out of several Earth-Penetrating Talismans and still have to take out that Mountain-Penetrating Talisman. I might as well use it now."

A top-tier Tier 1 Earth Escape Talisman is worth at least 120 spirit stones; it's good to save one.

After thinking it through, Chen Qian no longer hesitated and took out his only second-grade low-level Mountain-Penetrating Talisman.

This is a talisman made from the hide of a second-tier demon beast. Even without being activated, it exudes a heavy aura.

Chen Qian had never activated a second-tier talisman before. As his divine sense and magic power were rapidly injected, the Mountain-Penetrating Talisman burst with spiritual light, transforming into a ball of gray light that was almost visible to the naked eye, tightly enveloping Chen Qian.

It also absorbed a large amount of his magical power and divine consciousness.

Chen Qian carefully sensed it and found that the amount of magical power and divine sense was indeed considerable. Since his magical power was six or seven times that of others of the same level, and his divine sense was even dozens of times greater, he naturally endured it with ease.

He suddenly remembered that Chen Yunzheng also had a second-tier Purple Heaven Thunder Talisman. If he had to activate this talisman in a critical moment, the instantaneous consumption might drain him dry.

It's still too much of a stretch for someone in the mid-stage of Qi Refining to activate a second-tier talisman.

As expected of a second-tier talisman, its effects are far superior to those of a first-tier talisman.

Chen Qian practically ran underground, completely unaware of the immense pressure exerted by the surrounding rock and soil layers, which were as hard as steel.

One hundred zhang...

Two hundred feet...

Three hundred feet...

Chen Qian used almost all his strength, and recklessly and frantically channeled his magic power, trying to penetrate as deep as possible.

Midway through, he even took out the Spring Spring Pill to replenish his magical power and the Rejuvenation Pill to replenish his physical strength, making sure that the Mountain Penetrating Talisman would exert its most powerful effect.

Finally, just as the gray light formed by the Mountain-Penetrating Talisman was about to disappear completely, Chen Qian finally broke through the last layer of rock, the pressure around him suddenly disappeared, and he fell into a dark blue space.

The space was filled with a watery aura so dense it was almost tangible, as if the entire world was shrouded in an invisible water curtain.

The gravity in the space was somewhat chaotic. With each step Chen Qian took, he could feel a soft force enveloping his feet, as if he were walking on soft clouds.

In the very center, a faintly visible, azure-blue dragon coiled in the center of the space, emitting a soft blue light.

Within the halo, countless tiny, flowing runes appeared and disappeared, intertwining and flowing, as if telling the most ancient secrets of heaven and earth.

Upon closer inspection, one can also see wisps of watery energy constantly emanating from the dragon's body, slowly rising and gathering in the air, like wisps of green smoke.

At the core of the dragon's head, a fist-sized, pale blue bead floated in the void, emitting a soft and mysterious light. This bead was crystal clear, and its interior seemed to contain a vast ocean world, with countless tiny streams of water surging and churning within it, each ripple releasing powerful water-based primal energy.

Around the space are also some small pools of water that emit a faint glow.

The pool water was clear and transparent, yet it seemed to be bottomless, with treasures emitting different kinds of light at the bottom.

In some pools, there grow exotic flowers whose petals are formed from pure water elemental energy and shimmer with a faint light;
At the bottom of some pools, there lie some strange stones that seem to be constantly absorbing and releasing water elemental energy, making them excellent materials for crafting water-based artifacts.

Chen Qian was filled with curiosity upon arriving in such a magical space and wanted to walk to the center to take a closer look at the spiritual veins.

But he soon realized something was wrong; he was clearly moving forward, but his position remained unchanged.

What's happening here? !

"If I can't go to the middle, I'll try going to the side."

Chen Qian was, after all, a time traveler, so his mental fortitude was quite good. Even when faced with things he couldn't understand for a moment, he wouldn't immediately panic.

Instead, they walked towards a small pond nearby.

He soon realized that all his efforts were in vain.

Even though he had run with all his might to the small puddle that was right next to him, his position remained unchanged.

Damn it... what do I do?

"Try stepping back and seeing what happens."

Soon, Chen Qian discovered that the situation was still the same!

What to do?
Chen Qian found himself completely trapped in a transparent cage, with no way out no matter which direction he went.

Since we can't move, let's go back to the Gray Pearl World first.

With a thought, Chen Qian vanished from this strange space in a flash.

Only the small gray beads that had manifested remained in place.

In the Gray Pearl World, Chen Qian's figure appeared on the central stone mountain.

Seeing the familiar surroundings, Chen Qian finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they were able to come back.

But if I go out, I will still return to that strange space. How can I solve my current predicament?

More than a day has passed since he fled into Emerald Lake. Chen Qian plans to get something to eat first, and then think of a solution.

Chen Qian went to the lake, caught a few fish, set up a grill, and started grilling them.

The little falcon was still fast asleep, but Snowball, having caught a whiff of the scent, trotted over to Chen Qian.

Chen Qian casually grabbed it, stroking its soft fur while communicating with the Gray Pearl World.

In fact, the reason Chen Qian was able to enter this spiritual vein origin space was entirely due to the gray bead world in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Before a spiritual vein has fully evolved and solidified, it exists somewhere between illusion and reality.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch cannot enter the unmanifested spiritual vein origin space.

Therefore, to take over this spiritual vein, all that is needed is to activate the Gray Pearl World's ability to autonomously absorb it.

After receiving feedback from the Gray Pearl World, Chen Qian realized that it was actually quite simple.

All he needs to do is be in the Gray Pearl World and extend his divine sense beyond it.

Now that he knew the solution, Chen Qian was no longer in a hurry. He slowly turned the grilled fish over, the oil dripping into the fire and making a sizzling sound.
