Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"I've said all there is to say."

Thousands of breaths later, the Bai Family Patriarch took a long breath, "That's the situation. She has been dead for many years. Back then, I didn't understand why a fairy would take an interest in me. At that time, I wasn't the Bai Family Patriarch yet, just an unpopular collateral family member."

"Maybe it was because... though I was in tattered clothes, I had the look of an emperor!"

In the midst of his words,

a surge of boldness emanated from the Bai Family Patriarch, but after catching Fat Long's gaze, he shrank his neck and stopped talking.

"Understood."

Chen Qiu nodded slightly without saying anything. His eyes narrowed with some confusion. According to the Bai Family Patriarch, fairies were a product of the Immortal Realm, somewhat similar to the "Heavenly Dao Beauty Ranking" in lower-grade continents, a gift from heaven.

The specifics were unclear to the Bai Family Patriarch.

After all, as someone from a Third Grade Continent, it wasn't possible for him to know much about affairs of the Fifth Grade Immortal Realm.

It was a pity that he couldn't contact Ba Dan now; otherwise, he could have asked about the fairy's situation.

Moreover...

By possessing a fairy's first night, one could obtain the Red Entry "Fairy's First Night," which would greatly enhance one's luck, akin to constantly activating the Luck of Human Pride. This seemed a bit too overpowered. To be honest, he was somewhat tempted by this fairy.

But if that were the case, he could imagine that the fairy's circumstances in the Immortal Realm wouldn't be too good, just like him—she was like Tang Seng's meat, coveted by everyone.

Chen Qiu shook his head and stopped contemplating, speaking softly.

"Alright, everyone else has set off; we shouldn't delay either. Let's head to the next continent."

The Bai Family Patriarch had already found several continents currently collapsing into the underworld. He planned to make as little noise as possible to snatch some Luck of Yin Soul. Although risky, one couldn't simply avoid doing things because they were risky.

There were plenty of risky things in the world.

Cultivation could lead to possession, entering the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm could result in death, and even if one did nothing and stayed home, they could get caught up in the crossfires of a powerful battle.

If one worried about risks, then they might as well do nothing and slit their own throat to eke out an existence in the underworld.

But even in the underworld, there was the risk of continent collapse.

Living meant making decisions among various risks.

One could only try to be as careful as possible.

...

Meanwhile—

Qu Gui was leading a group of Chao Tian Sect disciples to a brand-new First Grade Continent. They didn't know the name and had landed outside a city in a temple.

It was a dilapidated and deserted temple with a peculiar Deceit Buddha statue.

With a big belly, the left palm opened, and the right hand clutching a string of Buddha Beads, except that none of the beads were lit up; all were dull and lacked luster.

They had just been transported beside this Deceit Buddha.

"Yo."

Qu Gui cheekily looked at the Deceit Buddha and said with a smile, "Looks like you haven't opened for business yet. If you need any help, brother, just say the word. I can tie up a few thousand civilians to make an offering or whatever you need in minutes. No big deal."

The Deceit Buddha, who had previously been statue-like without any intention to speak, couldn't help but open its eyes to take a closer look at Qu Gui when it heard this, "Mo Zu might have said something that made you misunderstand Deceit Buddhas. We never slaughter living creatures."

"You'd better not mess around either; that would ruin my cultivation."

Really, who's the Evil Demon here?

"Got it, got it."

Qu Gui grinned and said, "Just joking, brother. Anyway, I'll need to rely on you a lot from now on. If you need anything, feel free to tell me. Although I may not be able to help, at least I can be a listener."

With that,

he signaled the remaining Chao Tian Sect disciples to enter the city and gather information about this continent.

Qu Gui and the Chao Tian Sect disciples were quite excited.

After all, running free on a New Continent was definitely more interesting than continuously cultivating in the Heavenly Palace, although cultivation was necessary. Traveling was essential, too. Moreover, they had always been supported by Chen Qiu, barely contributing to the Chao Tian Sect, which made them feel somewhat embarrassed.

They were eager for enemies to show up, to give them room to make a mark.

But they couldn't defeat the powerful enemies.

And the weak enemies... The last time they were in the Qi Tian Continent, a Nascent Soul Stage came to rob them, they sensed the situation from the small world, eager and ready for a major fight, but never got their chance. The Sect Master dispatched the robber with a Unification Killing Move, leaving not even ashes behind.

It was a perfect illustration of the saying, "even when a lion fights a rabbit, it still uses all its might."

Now, they didn't need to deal with powerful enemies, nor did they need to handle weak ones. They had to ponder the meaning of their own existence. Now that they finally had a mission assigned to them, they were all eager to produce some results.

To make up for the Spirit Stones they had consumed over time.

At the very least, when they returned to Da Xia Country, they could speak proudly of their adventures abroad. They couldn't just say they were cultivating the whole time, following the Sect Master to the pinnacle; that would be too shameful.

...

The scholar had also successfully arrived at a brand-new continent.

"This time also counts as a fresh start."

It was yet another temple.

The scholar took out three incense sticks from his bosom, lit them, and placed them before the Deceit Buddha. Then, turning to his bearded, short-statured younger brother beside him, he said softly, "As the Second Elder and Third Elder of the Chao Tian Sect, we too must achieve something worthwhile."
