This old guy originally wanted to launch a sneak attack. As long as he killed Chen Daoxuan and absorbed his flesh and blood, he would be able to restore about thirty percent of his strength, and Tang Youran would not be a threat.

He would be able to see the light of day again.

But he never expected that!

Chen Daoxuan's senses were so keen that he sensed his intentions and easily dodged them.

"I refuse to accept... I was about to obtain that treasure, I was already able to... why..."

The demonic cultivator's body couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

Before he could finish speaking, he died.

Chen Daoxuan shook his head helplessly.

He had wanted to interrogate this old guy and find out what had happened back then.

But he never expected that.

This old guy had already run out of oil and died long ago.

Moreover, he had just launched an attack and knew that there was no hope left, so he couldn't survive and died from exhaustion.

"Let's go."

Chen Daoxuan took Tang Youran and left the cave. He set fire to the place, burning it clean, and put all the spiritual herbs in the secret realm into his ring before leaving quietly.

Chen Daoxuan stayed with Tang Youran in the palace for half a month. They talked during the day and enjoyed each other's company at night. Tang Youran's belly had two more lives.

The probability of twins is really high.

Chen Daoxuan stayed for a while and then returned to the Chen family.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Bai Ling'er stood at the door of a room. Chen Qingyang was almost fifty years old and had reached Qi Refining Rank Nine, just one step away from entering the Foundation Building Stage. He stood respectfully beside Bai Ling'er, waiting silently.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a burst of energy erupted, soaring towards the sun and moon!

"So fast?"

Bai Ling'er was surprised.

Amidst the astonishment, Chen Daoxuan smiled and pushed open the door, walking out.

Chen Daoxuan had already reached Gold Core Rank One!

In this cultivation world, the majority of cultivators are at the Body Refining and Qi Refining Stages, while only one or two percent reach the Foundation Building Stage. Breaking through the Foundation Building Stage and above only accounts for one percent.

Becoming a Gold Core cultivator already qualifies one to establish a sect. If one reaches Nascent Soul, they can manage a sizable sect. If they break through Soul Formation, they can establish a sect similar to the Mysterious Passage Sect.

Although in comparison to ancient clans and Transcendent Level sects, the Gold Core stage is not much, it is still considered strong in this region. After all, there are only a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators and a few Soul Formation cultivators within the Zhou Kingdom.

Congratulations, husband.

Bai Ling'er smiled and approached.

You've worked hard, madam.

In reality, Chen Daoxuan only needed a thought to break through the realm. It didn't take much time at all. However, if the news spread, it would attract a lot of attention and even some special gazes.

To be cautious, Chen Daoxuan pretended to seclude himself in the room for half a month.

In reality, for the past few days, Chen Daoxuan had been leisurely studying formations and alchemy techniques. It was only at the last moment that he had the thought to break through to Gold Core.

But even so, Chen Daoxuan's breakthrough speed greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. After all, many people take more than half a year to break through to Gold Core.

"Darling, we are one entity, why bother with hardships."

Although nearly thirty years have passed, Bai Ling'er has become even more stunning and her strength has reached Foundation Building Rank Nine.

Even though Chen Daoxuan often takes concubines.

But the position of Bai Ling'er as the main wife in the household cannot be shaken. Over the past thirty years, the affection between Chen Daoxuan and Bai Ling'er has deepened, and she is the only person in the family who can compare to Chen Daoxuan's authority.

"Has anything happened in the family recently?"

Chen Daoxuan asked softly.

"Darling, you just had a breakthrough, so take some time to rest."

Bai Ling'er replied with a smile.

"Is something really wrong?"

Chen Daoxuan was slightly taken aback. As a couple for so many years, he naturally understood Bai Ling'er's expressions and demeanor.

"Indeed, something has happened."

Bai Ling'er sighed helplessly. "Not long ago, news came from the sect that the once-in-a-century Red Moon is approaching."

"The Red Moon?"

Chen Daoxuan suddenly remembered.

The Red Moon is a unique natural phenomenon in this world, similar to storms and thunder, but it only occurs once every hundred years. Every time it appears, a large number of demonic beasts go berserk.

These demonic beasts usually stay in the mountains and forests and never leave their territory.

But when the Red Moon arrives.

These demonic beasts will leave the mountains and forests and rampage in human settlements, causing widespread killing and devouring. Over time, when the people learned about it, they would migrate inward whenever the Red Moon approached.

The Red Moon lasts for a whole week.

During the day, everything is peaceful, but the demonic beasts appear at night and only leave in the early morning.

The people will return to their homes only after a week.

Although there won't be many casualties.

The homes will be destroyed. The trampling of these demonic beasts will reduce crop yields, cause many houses to collapse, and any livestock that cannot be taken away will be completely devoured.

It can be considered a major disaster.

Therefore, every time this happens, many sect members will come out to resist the demonic beasts outside the mountains. However, there are already some extremely powerful beings among the demonic beasts, and under the influence of the Red Moon, their strength will increase. There will be many casualties every hundred years.

The Chen family is now a large and influential family, with assets spread throughout the entire county, and even infiltrating beyond.

So this Red Moon will have a significant impact.

"How much time is left?"

Chen Daoxuan asked.

"About three months."

Bai Ling'er replied.

"There's still time. Have everything been arranged properly?"

"Darling, rest assured, I have discussed it with Sister Tang and ordered the evacuation of the people. The sect has also sent many experts, and I have arranged some independent cultivators to guard outside the mountains."

Cloud Mountain County is named after the massive Cloud Mountain range, and the spiritual stone veins are within the Cloud Mountain range.

Although many people have been arranged.

It's just a drop in the bucket. The mountain range is too long to be completely defended.

When Chen Daoxuan was ten years old, he had experienced a Red Moon. At that time, his parents were still alive, and he followed them to hide in the town. Every night, he could hear the roars of countless monsters.

And many cries for help.

That week was truly spent in fear, leaving a deep shadow in the hearts of many children.

"I'm afraid it's not enough."

Chen Daoxuan pondered carefully. "I heard that there are two Beast Kings in this mountain range?"

"That's right."

Bai Ling'er nodded. "There are two Gold Core perfection level Beast Kings. However, because they are demonic beasts and have physical advantages, they can contend with cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage."

"Then let's kill these two Beast Kings in advance."

Chen Daoxuan made up his mind.

Since Chen Daoxuan is the lord of the city, occupying a large amount of resources and managing numerous people, he naturally has to shoulder corresponding responsibilities.
