Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

For instance—

Design an arm guard with hundreds of tiny needle tips inside. Whenever he willed it, these needle tips would pierce into his body. With such an object, he would need only three breaths to instantly recover full Spiritual Energy. Experience tales with empire

Although, due to the "Slippery" entry, it could cause uncontrollable Teleportation everywhere.

But all he needed to do was to retreat to his small world when his Spiritual Energy was depleted, replenish it in three breaths, and then burst out again—that would be perfect.

That's what a perpetual motion machine would be like.

Chen Qiu noted this matter in his heart, preparing to find an Artifact Cultivator to design such a Spiritual Treasure the next day.

It was only then that he exited the small world.

Sitting cross-legged on the guest room bed, he looked up to the Heavenly Dao Blessing of the night.

512 Foundation Establishment Stage low-grade Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills, no change from yesterday—it seemed these people's enthusiasm was gradually fading.

Many things are like this, even if they're interesting, the level of discussion will slowly decrease.

Moreover, the Fame Ranking has a mechanism where, once listed, your fame won't drop, even if no one discusses you anymore. Unless someone else catches up in fame, you can maintain your position indefinitely.

He had risen by only one place in the Fame Ranking, it seemed that the effects of "Heavenly Dao Decree" had reached their limit. Still, it was 10 mid-grade Foundation Establishment Stage Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills.

Chen Qiu swallowed a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Stage Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill, activating his mental method and slowly beginning to cultivate again.

...

Two hours later.

"Huff..."

Chen Qiu opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath; he had absorbed all the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills granted by the night's blessing, and his Cultivation had reached...

-

'Cultivation': Foundation Establishment Stage Ninth Layer (47.5%)

-

He was just half a step away from reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

After tomorrow's arrival of the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills, he would have just enough. In fact, if he took a Golden Core pill now, he could probably reach the peak of Foundation Establishment Cultivation instantly, but that seemed somewhat unnecessary.

To him, there was not much difference between the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment and its peak.

"Still seven pills short."

Chen Qiu looked at the Jade Box in his chest holding a second-grade Golden Core in each, murmuring with a distant expression. He was seven short of collecting nine second-grade Golden Cores.

He had thought he would gain only one second-grade Golden Core tonight.

Unexpectedly, there were two. To be honest, this was truly beyond his expectations—a real pleasant surprise.

The power of that Array Plate was too fierce; he didn't have the time to collect all the Storage Rings and Storage Bags. Most of them melted in the flames, but he had taken special care of Ning Wuping and other opulently-dressed Artifact Cultivators.

Twenty-three Storage Rings from these people were now resting quietly in his small world.

The auction's entry jade slips were inside one of the Storage Rings, but whether it was one or two remained to be seen. The White Artifact Refining entry, Ning Wuping clearly had little desire for it, likely because he already possessed it, definitely not to be crushed and inscribed into his Tao Foundation.

But the other Green Artifact Refining entry...

Ning Wuping seemed quite keen on it. He hoped the young man wouldn't act so hastily, crushing the entry jade slip and inscribing it into his Tao Foundation as soon as he acquired it.

Otherwise, his gains this time would be one entry jade slip short.

After approximately inventorying his gains, he then stored everything in his small world and turned his head to look out the window at the starry sky, a smile in his eyes.

...

Soon, day broke.

A piece of news had already spread throughout Fei City last night, and it continued to disseminate to nearby cities without decreasing speed.

Forging Furnace Mountain.

Named for its resemblance to the furnaces used by Artifact Cultivators, it was regarded as sacred ground by Da Xia's Artifact Cultivators. Last night, it was leveled to the ground by a grand array.

Leading the Ning Family—home to ten of Fei State's peak Foundation Establishment Artifact Cultivators, headed by Ning Taiping—along with young master Ning, were wiped out overnight.

Almost a hundred Artifact Cultivators who attended the ceremony that night vanished without a trace.

An ominous sign stood at the remains of Forging Furnace Mountain.

-

'I'm a Buddhist; I don't kill.'

'Who said that?'

'They said it.'

—Sect Master Chen Qiu of Chao Tian Sect.

-

Nearly a hundred people had attended the event at Forging Furnace Mountain that night, but in the end, only a few like Chen Qiu survived; the others were nowhere to be found.

And that Chen Qiu even arrogantly refused to live incognito from then on. Instead, he left behind such a sign as if declaring war to all Artifact Cultivators in the world.

Last night's disaster...

Many young generation Artifact Cultivators of Fei State died on the spot, and Elder Ning, who was almost certain to advance to a Golden Core Artifact Refiner, perished on the spot, along with his Golden Core protectors.

For a time—

Many sects and families received the news.

This was the first time so many Fei State's Artifact Cultivators had fallen at the hands of another. Typically respected wherever they went, such a tragedy had never occurred before. An undercurrent imperceptible to ordinary folk began to stir throughout Fei State.

...

"Interesting."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In the Fei City Lord Mansion, a portly middle-aged man sitting in a chair couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the message delivered to him by the person below: "This Ning Taiping wanted to ride on Chen Qiu's momentum to boost his own."

"But instead, he used his influence to enhance Chen Qiu's reputation."

"Just after acquiring the Magic Practitioner inheritance, causing such a commotion in Fei City, this Chen Qiu will no longer simply be known as a lucky Loose Cultivator. Perhaps the words heartless and of indeterminate strength will have to be added."

"Quite interesting."

Meanwhile, the Elder standing behind him hesitated and said, "Master, won't you take action? You are one of the top ten amongst the three hundred and sixty-five City Lords of Da Xia. With your Golden Core Seventh Layer Cultivation, capturing that Chen Qiu would be effortless."
