Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"Hmm."

Qu Qi, who was about to say something, stood up from his seat with satisfaction upon hearing these words. Looking down at Chen Qiu, who was sitting in the crowd not far away, he cast a provocative glance. The people around also looked at Chen Qiu with strange expressions, following Qu Qi's gaze.

Do these two have a grudge against each other?

...

"So embarrassing, so embarrassing..."

Chen Qiu, sitting in his seat, looked down at his feet with an embarrassed expression, trying his best to bend over and avoid Qu Qi's gaze.

When Qu Qi suddenly blurted out that statement, he already felt it was incredibly embarrassing, and he was still speechless.

As a result, Qu Qi cast a provocative glance at him, dragging him into the embarrassing spotlight as well.

Damn it...

Once we enter the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm, you're the first one I'm going to kill!

No negotiations on that.

After this small interlude, everything returned to normal. The middle-aged man in the square below continued to introduce the Heavenly Prides, only mentioning the Golden Core Heavenly Prides and some rather famous Foundation Establishment Heavenly Prides at Great Perfection, while the rest were quickly skipped over.

Chen Qiu also quietly observed the strength of the other competitors.

There were quite a few strong participants this time, and he still felt somewhat unsure.

The strongest among them was at the second level of Golden Core.

Besides him, there were a total of 6 Golden Core Heavenly Prides, and most of the others were Heavenly Prides with Foundation Establishment at Great Perfection Cultivation. This was going to be a bit tricky to handle...

Why are they all so weak? He worried that if he made even a slight move, he could end up killing all these people's Heavenly Prides.

The sects and families behind these Heavenly Prides were not weak; many had Golden Core Peak experts with Great Perfection Cultivation in their ranks. If he killed this batch of Heavenly Prides, he would offend almost all the top-ranked sects in the Da Xia Sect rankings.

If that happened, practically all the Golden Cores in Da Xia would likely unite to hunt him down.

And for no good reason, too. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

He wasn't so bloodthirsty either.

He just planned to plunder the Heavenly Prides' natural treasures to craft his own Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure, but now... realizing how weak these Heavenly Prides were, he started considering how to hold back during the fight. He wanted to make sure they felt the despair of being utterly unable to fight back without accidentally killing them all.

Of course...

Chen Qiu snuck a glance at Qu Qi among the crowd, still feeling smug. Some people didn't need him to hold back.

It would be a good warning to others.

Just then—

A strand of Golden Core Divine Sense quietly approached him. No Golden Core in the square was openly using their Divine Sense, not only because of the suppression from the six Royal Family members at Golden Core Peak Cultivation, but also because it was a very dangerous signal for Golden Cores to emit their Divine Sense.

This was almost a sign of a battle to the death.

Once Divine Sense was released, it meant that someone could lock onto you at any moment, and once you were targeted, you might face a barrage of spells, Golden Core attacks, or Divine Sense and Flying Sword attacks.

Any of these would be quite unpleasant to deal with.

Therefore, in Golden Core social interactions, it was basically an unspoken rule not to release Divine Sense, as doing so meant initiating a life-or-death fight, making the battle inevitable.

Yet this strand of Divine Sense seemed to bear no malice...

It sneaked, carefully hiding its fluctuations, bypassing everyone until it carefully approached Chen Qiu and gently probed him.

It didn't lock on or launch a Divine Sense Attack.

It was like someone knocking on your door.

Divine Sense Transmission is an exclusive method employed by Golden Cores, usually used among acquaintances. Strangers wouldn't let just anyone's Divine Sense enter their Sea of Consciousness unless one's cultivation overpowered the other, allowing a direct invasion. Otherwise, who would allow a stranger's Divine Sense in when it could be an attack?

That's why, given that he could clearly sense the weakness of this Divine Sense and discern that the owner deliberately emitted this faint strand, he allowed it into his own Sea of Consciousness. Even if it was an attack, at worst it would only cause a minor injury.

As the saying goes, the skilled are bold.

Chen Qiu didn't hesitate much and swiftly let the strand into his Sea of Consciousness. With his 'Nine Heavens Divine Sense Array', this strand could not harm him.

However, he only allowed it into the outermost edge of his Sea of Consciousness. This way, the other party could not detect the 'Nine Heavens Divine Sense Array', but it would still serve the purpose of transmitting speech.

Soon—

He sensed a voice message from that strand of Divine Sense.

"Daoist Chen, hello. I am the Qu Family Supreme Elder. I believe I have information you will be very interested in. The Storage Ring on Qu Qi's finger contains a vast amount of natural treasures necessary for forging a Magic Practitioner's treasures."

"Don't ask me why I am disclosing Qu Family secrets."

"Because..."

"I have a premonition that you are the one who can truly save Da Xia from its crisis!"

"..."

Chen Qiu's mouth twitched, but he didn't reply immediately. He also didn't care what the Qu Family Supreme Elder meant by these words, whether it was betrayal or a scheme?

It didn't matter anymore.

In his eyes, Qu Qi was already a dead man walking, and as for the Storage Ring's natural treasures, he would gladly accept them.

...

"Phew..."

The Qu Family Supreme Elder, sitting beside the Qu Family Master, took a deep breath, unsure whether Chen Qiu would believe his reason. It was difficult for him to find a justifiable reason to betray the Qu Family openly.

He certainly couldn't just say.

He was a transmigrator with no emotional attachment to the Qu Family, and based on his previous life's experience of reading novels, you, Chen Qiu, seemed like the real protagonist of this world. Qu Qi was destined to die at your hands and supply you with the materials. I'm just here to ingratiate myself with you early, so you might spare me when you come to annihilate the Qu Family later?
