Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Even his Seven-colored fishing rod, which he regarded as a toy, was a heavenly material and earthly treasure that could be used to forge a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure.

He had not anticipated this.

However... it did save him a lot of trouble—the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm took care of the bad guys for him. Now, even if he took away all these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, no one could say anything about it, since that's the rule of the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm. Could they blame him?

Meanwhile.

On the cloud screen above the arena, a countdown began. The moment the countdown ended, it would signal the start of the first battle in the arena.

Chen Qiu looked up with a smile at the man not far away who had reached Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment.

This time, because of the chaotic edition of Heavenly Pride Secret Realm, they had changed the usual rules. It was no longer about selecting the top 100 Heavenly Prides, nor about creating Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasures for the top three. Instead, only one Heavenly Pride would be chosen to create the strongest Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure.

He had not anticipated this.

At the same time, he felt somewhat fortunate. Thankfully, he had made his breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage before the start of the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard. Otherwise, he would have missed this opportunity. A Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure for the only matchless Heavenly Pride was definitely better than the ones from previous Heavenly Pride Leaderboards.

Just then—

The countdown ended.

Chen Qiu had to admit that the man opposite him, who was at the peak of Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment, still had strong willpower. Although his body was trembling, he roared with a quivering voice, his sword filled with lethal intent, launching an attack on him the instant the countdown finished.

This sword!

If it hit him... well, it couldn't even shatter his Protective Spirit Qi.

For someone at Foundation Establishment to challenge Golden Core was still a bit too difficult.

Chen Qiu shook his head, unwilling to prolong the fight, and merely glanced at the man. With a casual flick, he unleashed the Thunder Summoning Technique, its power reduced to the minimum, and a juvenile version of a Thunder Dragon shot forth.

"Boom!"

With just that one strike, he shattered the man's Protective Spirit Qi and Protective Spiritual Treasure, sending the man flying and crashing heavily against the barrier of the arena, only to fall afterward into a corner of the arena, his bones completely broken.

The barrier, made of nature's spiritual energy, was invisible but extremely tough; ordinary attacks could hardly create a crack in it. Its main purpose was to prevent the battles within the arena from affecting the surrounding ones.

The man now lay on the ground like a lump of mud, blood bubbles continuously gushing from his mouth, looking up at Chen Qiu with gratitude in his eyes.

Obviously, he knew Chen Qiu had pulled his punches as much as possible.

Otherwise, that strike would have been enough to kill him instantly.

He had been prepared to die, not expecting that Chen Qiu would spare his life. Naturally, he felt grateful. No one wished to die— who spread the rumor that Chen Qiu was ruthless?

The next moment!

The severely injured man disappeared from the arena, ejected by force from the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm.

"It's still not enough..."

Chen Qiu frowned slightly as he looked at his right hand. He had controlled the power of the Thunder Summoning Technique to the lowest possible extent, but it was still nearly fatal for that man at Foundation Establishment. Didn't he have any less lethal methods?

Divine Sense? No, that would kill instantly.

Golden Core? Still an instant kill.

Golden Core was an overwhelming force against Foundation Establishment, and especially his twelve-grade Golden Core, which was an absolutely crushing existence for them.

"It's tough."

Unable to find a solution, Chen Qiu sighed helplessly. The Thunder Summoning Technique he had just cast used the least possible Spiritual Energy, without utilizing Spirit Control Technique. Moreover, under the effect of Dual Casting and Ten Layers of Spellcasting, the remaining twenty or so illusory and real Thunder Summoning Techniques were all discarded behind him.

But even so...

For someone at Foundation Establishment, it seemed that the power was still too great.

Were those at Foundation Establishment so fragile?

He glanced over at the other arenas, where the other six Golden Core Heavenly Pride had resolved their battles quickly as well. Only a bunch of Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pride were still fighting on the arena, which looked quite exciting and entertaining to watch.

Once all the battles on the arenas were decided.

The victors would again be assigned to the arenas, and so on, until a final, matchless victor standing on the highest arena was determined.

And the victor can obtain the unparalleled Heavenly Pride and take away all the treasures of heaven and earth.

Very simple rules.

...

"Quick, quick, quick!!!"

At this moment, on the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm Square, many sect elders looked anxious as they rushed into the square and quickly stuffed top-tier Healing Pills into the mouths of disciples severely injured and expelled from the secret realm.

The first round was almost over.

Sitting in the viewer's stand, the crowd looked complexly towards the images of the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm in the sky above the square.

The Sect Master of the Caotian Sect murmured as he looked at Chen Qiu, who was standing quietly on the platform, waiting, "When the world is in turmoil, the unparalleled Heavenly Pride will emerge, and if you, Chen Qiu, can claim that title, it would mean a complete rise to power."

"In the time of world conflict, there will be a place for you."

He hadn't expected the rules of the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm to change so drastically this time. Although the rules were different every time, they had always unshakenly selected the top 100.

The top 100 on the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard received a Heavenly Dao Blessing daily.

Those ranking after 100 would have their positions automatically determined based on their ranking within the secret realm.

And the Da Xia Imperial Family...

Would also reward the top 100 and their backing sects after the ending of the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm.

But this time's Heavenly Pride Secret Realm was only selecting a single unparalleled Heavenly Pride. This change was clearly due to the impending world turmoil.

Fortunately, Zhao Yishi didn't come.

Otherwise, his participation would have been not only useless but also a waste of an opportunity to enter the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm.

...

Some are joyful, others are worried.

For instance, the elder of the "Warhammer Sect" looked grimly towards the direction of the Liu Family from the Hidden Family at this moment. Their Foundation Establishment disciple had just been killed by a Golden Core Heavenly Pride of the Liu Family.

That woman was truly heartless.

If it were merely a defeat due to inferior skills, they would naturally not say much, and accidental deaths were also considered normal. In a life or death battle, who could afford to hold back if the fight wasn't overwhelmingly one-sided?

But that woman cruelly carved nearly a hundred pieces of flesh from their disciple with a dagger, torturing him brutally. Although the wounds were ghastly, they were only flesh wounds and not enough to expel him from the secret realm.

That woman then sadistically killed their sect disciple while laughing like silver bells, depriving him of any chance to be expelled from the secret realm.

This could no longer be considered a normal competition.

It was humiliation, a provocation!

"..."

The Sect Master of the "Warhammer Sect" held back an elder who was about to burst out in curses, looked towards the Liu Family members who seemed unconcerned, and suddenly laughed after a long silence, "If it were another sect, they might indeed have endured it."

"After all, your Liu Family is a Hidden Family with two Golden Core Peak masters renowned for assassinations and known as the Shadow Family."

"How formidable indeed."

"But unfortunately, you don't understand our Warhammer Sect. The fact that our sect has such a vulgar name indicates that from top to bottom, we are all commoners."

"Commoners do not endure silently."

"We seek vengeance on the spot, and if we can't, we'd rather die."

Immediately following that...

The Sect Master of the "Warhammer Sect" calmly looked towards those uncaring Liu Family members and whispered to his Sound Transmission Ring on his finger, "Have the Supreme Elder leave seclusion, all Warhammer Sect elders and disciples come forth from the mountains."

"Today—"

"I want that Liu Family Golden Core Heavenly Pride dead in Jing Province."
