Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times-Chapter 476 - 186: "The Demon Race is about to fight the first battle!"_4

Chapter 476: Chapter 186: “The Demon Race is about to fight the first battle!”_4

When the sky falls, there will be tall ones to hold it up, but clearly, no one wants to be that tall one.

The general consensus is to wait and see, to observe how other forces will react. There’s no rush, not until the very end when if left unaddressed, everything will collapse, only then will this matter begin to move forward officially.

At the moment,

It seems that it will still take about five or six years before this issue can start progressing.

Back then, when the Saintess of the Xuantian Sect mended the heavens, she didn’t go as soon as it collapsed either; she also waited a year or two before starting the repairs.

...

There’s no need to hurry.

…

Time quickly passed, and three days went by.

There were three days left until the arrival of the “Conflict Under Heaven” version.

In these three days, Chen Qiu, who stayed on Dragon Island, did basically nothing; he just wandered around the island every day. His cultivation had become so high that he flew everywhere he went.

He rarely used his legs to walk anymore.

It was only when measuring the island with his feet did he realize that if he were just a mortal, it would probably take a very long time to walk from one end of the island to the other, overcoming mountains and valleys, facing many fierce beasts.

In these three days, most of his time was spent wandering.

Occasionally, he would check on the cultivation progress of the disciples of the Chao Tian Sect, and Fat Long had successfully made a breakthrough to Nascent Soul, using a Divinity Transformation Body as material, forming a fourth-grade Nascent Soul.

Much higher than the grade of the Nascent Souls of the other Chao Tian Sect disciples, whose Nascent Souls were all second-grade, and fourth-grade was also his limit.

To get a higher-grade Nascent Soul required the Fortune of the Heavenly Dao, which was not something one could have just by wishing for it; it wasn’t that easy to obtain.

After breaking through to Nascent Soul, Fat Long’s cultivation progress began to surge. His physical condition improved as his cultivation increased, and his face no longer looked as deathly pale.

The cultivation progress of the other Chao Tian Sect disciples also rose swiftly. After all, they were popping Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills without restriction for twelve hours straight.

One could increase their cultivation progress by 12% in just a day.

In one or two more days, all of them could step into the second layer of the Nascent Soul stage. This speed was already quite fast, but it was still much slower compared to Fat Long.

Occasionally, he would sit alone on the beach, cooking something to enjoy the waves, and at the same time, consolidate his cultivation realm.

While undercurrents were stirring in the outside world,

he had, in contrast, begun to live a calm and tranquil life.

Just then—

A golden light suddenly flashed by his side, and Ao Tian appeared next to Chen Qiu standing on the beach, passing him a Storage Ring: “I’ve scoured the Dragon Clan’s Treasure Vault and this is all the Evil Wood I could find, just under three thousand pieces. Check and see if it’s enough.”

“It should be enough.”

Chen Qiu smiled as he accepted the Storage Ring: “I’ll use my Evil Wood first. If mine is enough, then I won’t need yours, and I will return it to you then.”

“Little brother, why treat me with such formality?”

Ao Tian pretended to be annoyed: “The Chao Tian Sect and the Dragon Clan have signed a Blood Covenant. Your affairs are our affairs, but… little brother, you truly are the kindest person I have met.”

“No one on the entire Xuantian Continent is dealing with this issue. You, for the sake of all people, are using your own foundation to fill this gap.”

Chen Qiu turned his head toward the sea, speaking with a gentle smile: “Someone must take care of it. We can’t just watch with wide eyes as the era of decline arrives. Since no one else wants to take the lead, then let me do it.”

“But it’s no trouble.”

“When the time comes, I’ll go find them in the Central State to settle up the compensation.”

“That’s reasonable,” Ao Tian nodded in approval: “The Human Race has an old saying, ‘No war without justice.’ To initiate a war, there must be a just cause.”

“We’ll help them block this gap first. Naturally, they should help us bear some of the losses. The affairs of the entire Xuantian Continent can’t just depend on you alone to use your foundation to fill the gap.”

“This justification is perfectly valid, much better than going out to rob.”

“Let’s go.”

Chen Qiu chuckled softly without replying, merely shaking his head. He actually didn’t care whether it was a war without justice or not; it didn’t matter to him whether the excuse existed.

He lacked resources, so he had to resort to plundering.

It was a simple truth.

His arduous cultivation was for the purpose of acquiring resources in this more straightforward and brutal fashion, but most importantly—

he really wanted that one hundred billion merit from repairing the sky.

Whether for completing milestone tasks or for the Merit Value Store that was set to arrive with the impending strife version of the world, both were very useful.

One of the twelve milestone tasks on the Xuantian Continent was to accumulate three hundred billion merit or sin values – it was a cumulative system. Meaning, as long as he accumulated enough merit values, even if he spent them all, the task would be considered complete as long as the total reached three hundred billion.

…

Two hours later.

Chen Qiu had already appeared in Great Yuan City, not bringing anyone with him, only him and Ao Tian. Fat Long Scholar and the others were still enduring their tough cultivation on Dragon Island.

For safety’s sake.

Ao Tian was wearing a cloak, doing his best to conceal his presence as he sat across from him, quietly sipping tea. It seemed like Ao Tian must have been hunted by the Human Race quite a few times.

And must have suffered significant losses.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so cautious and careful, careful to the extent that even though there were no Divine Transformation individuals in Quzhou at the moment, he still did his best to remain hidden.

“…”

Sitting at a roadside stall, Chen Qiu looked up at the hole above his head, where a large amount of nature’s spiritual energy was slowly leaking out.

“The sky is really not durable, collapsing once a hundred years ago, and now again.”

“Is there a specific method?”

Chen Qiu raised his head to look at Ao Tian sitting opposite him, “Or do you just fly up and throw the Evil Wood into it?”

Ao Tian nodded hesitantly, “A hundred years ago, when the Xuantian Sect Saintess was repairing the sky, that’s how she did it. She approached the hole and threw in enough Evil Wood.”

“I was watching from a distance at that time; that’s exactly how the Xuantian Sect Saintess operated.”

“However, something unknown happened in the end. When the hole was completely fixed and about to close up, even when the Heavenly Dao Decree sounded, at the very last moment, that Saintess inexplicably entered the hole herself and never came out again.”

“People later said that the Xuantian Sect Saintess discovered at the last moment that there wasn’t enough Evil Wood and sacrificed herself to repair the sky. The story sounds quite moving, but it doesn’t make sense. The sky was already fixed at that time; it was her who entered at the last moment.”

“It still feels a bit dangerous.”

“Little brother, you should be as careful as possible.”

“If it really doesn’t work out, retreat first. There will always be someone to solve this.”

“Mhm.”

After Chen Qiu finished the tea in his hand, he took off his cloak and laid it on the table. Spiritual energy surged from beneath his feet as he stepped towards the hole above Quzhou.

To take a look at what the situation with the hole was.

The hundred billion merit was still quite tempting to him. With the Merit Defense Order in his possession, he was fairly confident he could face most crises.

Hundreds of breaths later, Chen Qiu had already approached the hole in the sky above Quzhou.

At a glance.

The inside was incredibly dark, a void-like darkness without a sliver of light, and Divine Sense sent into it disappeared without a trace, unable to feel the slightest sign of life.

He could only feel a large amount of nature’s spiritual energy brushing past his body’s surface, being devoured by the hole in front of him.

When looking up at this hole in the sky directly above Quzhou from below, there wasn’t much of a reaction; just a sense of helplessness, but no strong emotions.

But standing in front of this void of a black hole, one could feel an overpowering and dense sense of oppression.

It was like being left in the depths of an ocean, surrounded by darkness without a sign of land in sight, engendering a sense of despair.

Staring into the depths of the black hole for too long even brought about an impulsive desire to dive in and see for oneself.
