Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"..."

The Yuan Sect Master's expression remained impassive, neither sad nor happy as he looked at Qi Mei, who knelt before him. After a long silence, he finally spoke softly.

"Haven't some of the Yuan Sect disciples already fled to the underworld, and aren't you also in the underworld? Although you can't pursue the path to immortality, you're still alive, aren't you?"

"Can that be the same?"

Qi Mei, with tears brimming in his eyes, shouted, "After becoming a Ghost Cultivator, I can never return to the Mortal World. I don't even feel human anymore."

"... But you are no longer human anyway."

"I don't care, Sect Master. If Chen Qiu hadn't come to the underworld, I might let it be, but now that he is here, and this vengeance remains unavenged, I will not rest even in death!!!"

"Do you think I can defeat him?"

"We can scheme in secret. Doesn't the Devil Clan love to devour ghosts with Merit Bodies? Chen Qiu's Merit Holy Body is the finest Merit Body in the underworld. If we find out Chen Qiu's location, and leak it to the Devil Clan, their forces will surely encroach."

"No matter how strong he is alone, can he be stronger than the entire Devil Clan?"

"Hmm...?"

The Yuan Sect Master, who was subconsciously prepared to object, suddenly paused, holding his chin thoughtfully and said, "Hey, there's indeed some reason in your words."

"That's the idea."

Chen Qiu had destroyed his Sect's heritage and driven him to this neither-human-nor-ghost state. He had thought he would never have a chance for revenge, merely hiding in the darkness, unnoticed by Chen Qiu.

But now, it seemed that such an opportunity was not completely absent.

Indeed, his disciple's words made some sense. Although they couldn't defeat Chen Qiu, could Chen Qiu really prevail against an entire Devil Clan?

If there was a chance, he naturally wanted to take revenge as well.

"Then let's go with your plan. But how can we find Chen Qiu?"

"Sigh..."

Qi Mei, who had been kneeling, slowly stood up, his eyes filled with determination: "A top strategist must immerse himself in the game!"

"We just need to restart the Yuan Sect and spread our word against Chen Qiu. I'm sure it won't take more than thirty days before Chen Qiu receives the news and comes after us."

"All we need to do is contact the Devil Clan in advance and let them set up an ambush!"

"What do you think of this plan, Sect Master?"

"Good!"

The Yuan Sect Master, previously somewhat hesitant, now, bolstered by Qi Mei's stirring emotions, felt a surge of boldness and slapped the armrest of his chair firmly, declaring.

"Though the plan is risky, it offers a chance at survival among the cracks. Perhaps we might also secure a grand reward from the Devil Clan!"

"After all, we are delivering to the Devil Clan a Merit Body forged from a hundred billion merit points. Once consumed, their Cultivation will rise explosively."

"Thus—"

"Your plan is good, but there is still a slight flaw. The underworld is vast; to spread the message across half of the underworld, and even the entire underworld, to make Chen Qiu aware of our hereabouts."

"We need a large quantity of Yin Stones. Luckily, the Devil Clan's forces have already pressed near the city, and we can go now to strike a deal with them. They certainly won't miss this opportunity."

"Still, the Sect Master is superior.""" Qi Mei, already envisioning Ji Chengshi Chen Qiu begging for mercy, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty glint, spoke word by word.

"When the time comes, I want to personally witness Chen Qiu's anguished wails before his death!"

"Very well, very well, your teacher will also savor thoroughly watching it."

Having said this, the three exchanged glances and without delay, they turned into streaks of Liu Guang, leaving the city to first negotiate with the Devil Clan forces.

...

Meanwhile, in Crow Ghost City, within a small alley.

Chen Qiu stood expressionless and silent, staring at the shattered pieces of the Jade Scroll in his hand, listening to the faint plotting whispers from a nearby courtyard.

And the final excited cheers, as if they were already celebrating the success of their plan.

For a moment, he didn't quite know what to say.

It's funny how things work out in the world; he had almost forgotten about the Yuan Sect, but even after a long separation, they still ended up meeting in the underworld.

Perhaps this was destiny, signifying an unresolved karmic relation between them.

"Quite good."

He looked down at his fist, a Merit Body forged from a hundred billion merit points, making his current physical strength terrifyingly robust.

Even Peak of Divinity Transformation individuals could be easily crushed with one punch.

He even felt that, even if Void Refining Devil Clan Ghost Cultivators were to come here, they would still be no match for him. The gap formed by their realms, completely compensated by this Merit Body, even surpassed a bit."

Luckily, he only had three days.

After three days, this chaotic opportunity would be gone, and there would be no point in staying in the underworld where it was so big; where would he begin to look for Alien Clan Divinity, not city by city?

Now it seemed certain.

He just needed to patiently stay in "Crow Ghost City," waiting for the Devil Clan Divinity to come seeking him out themselves. From the earlier plotting in the neighboring courtyard, it was clear that the Devil Clan deeply coveted his type of Merit Body, or even was excited by it.

That couldn't be better."

Thinking, thinking, Chen Qiu couldn't help but laugh out loud; he had just come from Da Xia Country to Xuantian Continent, finding himself alone and unsupported in the unfamiliar Quzhou, when the Yuan Sect provided him with a robust enough support.

They gave him an opportunity, leading him to the skies.
