Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

This is his true thought within, but he definitely can't say that.

...

Finally—

All the famous Heavenly Prides had been introduced one after another, and just then, a white vortex slowly emerged in the center of the square, while at the same time, a familiar, ethereal voice sounded. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

-

"Heavenly Dao Decree": The Heavenly Pride Secret Realm, situated five miles north of Da Xia Country Capital, has been revealed. It is limited to Heavenly Prides under the age of 50, and the rankings of this Heavenly Pride Secret Realm will constitute this year's Heavenly Pride Leaderboard rankings.

The entrance to the Secret Realm will close after a thousand breaths.

-

The regional Heavenly Dao Decree could only be heard by those within the Jing Province.

Every year, the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm would appear here, hence a square with tens of thousands of seats was constructed for people to watch.

One would not die inside the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm.

When on the brink of death, you would automatically be expelled from the Secret Realm.

Unless... you die too quickly, directly skipping the stage of being on the brink of death.

By now, many Heavenly Prides on the seating of the square had already stood up and entered the white vortex.

"Brother Qiu."

The scholar looked seriously towards Chen Qiu and instructed, "Every time the content of the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm is different. The two times I went to the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm, once was a combat arena, and the other was a struggle in a large jungle for Heavenly Dao Fragments, where rankings were based on the number of Heavenly Dao Fragments."

"Be extra careful."

"Mm."

Chen Qiu nodded, stood up, and with a wave of his sleeve, collected the scholar and the others into the small world, then walked calmly towards the White vortex.

This act was witnessed by many.

...

"A small world?"

The Golden Core Heavenly Pride from the Hidden Family Liu Family, upon witnessing this scene, had her pupils abruptly contract, eyes flashing with disbelief. She had not expected this enemy, who had killed her sister, to possess a small world similar to their Liu Family's.

And...

It seemed to be of a higher grade than their Liu Family's small world!

Their Liu Family's small world was fixed in place, not something that could be carried around. She'd never heard of any Hidden Family having such a thing.

"This time, here's yet another reason to kill you..."

The girl licked the dagger in her hand with a flash of murderous intent in her eyes, and a bloodthirsty, cruel smile formed on her lips.

If she could bring this portable small world back to her family, it would be an unparalleled great merit.

A Magic Practitioner?

Her specialty was killing Magic Practitioners, whose physical strength was almost non-existent. Even a Golden Core's physical strength might not match that of a Body Cultivation at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and the Protective Body Technique of a Magic Practitioner at the stage of Foundation Establishment was nearly as thin as paper. A Golden Core's Protective Body Technique was indeed strong, but Chen Qiu had only just entered the Golden Core Stage; where would he find the time to cultivate a Golden Core Protective Body Technique?

Even though she knew Chen Qiu's attack methods were strong.

Having once single-handedly slain tens of thousands from the Evil Clan during his Foundation Establishment.

But... A Magic Practitioner with strong offensive abilities but without a Golden Core Protective Body Technique, in the eyes of someone skilled in assassination and concealment like her, was no different from a fragile doll that would break upon a touch.

"Go ahead, Second Miss."

A stoic elder standing behind the girl spoke softly, "The Liu Family has not been seen for a long time, and now as the Heavenly Dao enters a new phase and chaos is about to unfold, the Liu Family should also step out."

"It seems many have forgotten that the Liu Family, a long time ago, had another name, known as the Shadow Family."

"Let these so-called Heavenly Prides of Da Xia reacquaint themselves with what it means to be the Shadow Family."

...

When Chen Qiu stepped into the white vortex, he appeared in a vast and boundless wasteland, where the power of heaven and earth immobilized him, preventing him from moving. Other Heavenly Prides who had entered the Secret Realm earlier were in the same situation.

Dozens of Heavenly Prides stood on the reddish-brown soil, warily watching those around them, patiently waiting for the Secret Realm to officially open.

There was only one Heavenly Pride, unaffected by the power of heaven and earth, who turned into a stream of light and shot off into the distance, seemingly ready to explore the vicinity while everyone else was immobilized.

Finally—

After nearly a thousand breaths.

The entrance to the Secret Realm slowly closed, followed by a voice that rang in the ears of all the Heavenly Prides inside the Secret Realm. At the same time, the scene within the Secret Realm was projected above the square outside, with the voice inside the Secret Realm also being relayed and resounding over the square.

-

"The world's conflicts are about to begin, and only through battle will the Heavenly Pride emerge."

"This Heavenly Pride Secret Realm will decide just one Heavenly Pride, and this person will be the only Heavenly Pride at the top of the leaderboard, as well as the strongest peerless Heavenly Pride before the incoming era of chaos."

"In this Secret Realm, only this Heavenly Pride will be qualified to forge a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure, and the grade of this Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure will be higher than in the past."

"Who can become this Heavenly Pride, and who will have the authority to influence the forthcoming chaos?"

"As Heavenly Prides emerge, who truly is the strongest Heavenly Pride?"

-

Shortly after.

The immobilization on everyone lifted, and before anyone could act, 108 arenas suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the ground. The 215 Heavenly Prides already standing there, including the one who shot away a thousand breaths earlier, totalling 216 Heavenly Prides, were each pulled onto an arena.

This Secret Realm of Heavenly Pride was evidently an arena-based competition.

Chen Qiu's eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the man shaking a little across from him, who was at the peak of Foundation Establishment with Great Perfection Cultivation, as well as the panel enveloped in mist floating above the arena.

"In this Heavenly Pride Secret Realm, all treasures within the Cultivators' Storage Rings that can be used to forge a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure will be extracted."

"The victor will obtain all the treasures."

"..."

He looked towards the empty red arena in the center, where numerous treasures were piled up at that moment, including many treasures that belonged to him, most of which he had acquired from the Artifact Cultivators of Fei State.
