Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times-Chapter 517 - 197: "The Death of Chen Qiu, A Grand Funeral Between Heaven and Earth."_4
Instead of believing that Brother Qiu is dead,
he is more convinced that the Heavenly Dao Decree was issued by Brother Qiu himself.
"Exactly,"
Ao Tian nodded earnestly and then once again looked at Fat Long and said in a deep voice, "The Dragon Clan is not ungrateful, having signed an Eternal Blood Contract with Chao Tian Sect. If Chen Qiu truly died at the hands of the Dwarf Clan, without any hesitation, the Dragon Clan will join you in a massacre against the Dwarf Clan to avenge Chen Qiu."
"But now—"
"We need to first clarify one thing, whether Chen Qiu is truly dead, to avoid rash actions that might disrupt Chen Qiu's plans."
He could vaguely guess something because when Chen Qiu insisted on going down by himself, he had somewhat guessed Chen Qiu's thoughts, just with some uncertainty.
After calming down Fat Long's emotions, Ao Tian turned his head and said in a soft voice to the Demon Clan Patriarch beside him.
"Could you ask a Void Refining Expert of your clan to check the truth?"
"If my brother truly died at the hands of the Dwarf Clan, then surely a Void Refining Expert was involved, and that expert could not be unscathed. Just finding out if the revered Void Refining of the Dwarf Clan is injured would unravel the truth."
"Yes!"
The Demon Clan Patriarch's face was stern; this time there were no jokes or laughter, but rather he spoke in a serious tone, "I shall request the Demon Clan Ancestor to come out of seclusion right away."
If Chen Qiu truly died at the hands of the Dwarf Clan, then the situation would indeed be grave.
Void Refining Expert not appearing.
The Demon Clan themselves could do nothing to Chen Qiu, so did the Dwarf Clan have the capability to kill Chen Qiu without a Void Refining Expert taking action? There must be some big secret within the Dwarf Clan that the Demon Clan is unaware of, so even if Ao Tian did not say anything, he was also ready to request the Ancestor to come out of seclusion to probe the truth.
To see what the situation really is.
Frankly speaking,
he also does not believe that Chen Qiu could die at the hands of such a dirty, despicable race like the Dwarf Clan. Even though he and Chen Qiu are not of the same race, the deeds Chen Qiu accomplished along the way make him quite admirable. He cannot believe that such a person would die at the hands of the Dwarf Clan!
But... an Imperial Decree cannot be faked.
The heavenly and earth phenomenon also cannot be faked.
And...
On "Xuantian Continent Merit Ranking," "Xuantian Continent Sin Ranking," and "Xuantian Continent Nascent Soul Strength Ranking," Chen Qiu's name is no longer there.
...
Chen Qiu's death, a great mourning of heaven and earth.
This heavenly and earth phenomenon, like spring rain, suddenly increased the number of top powers in the Central Continent of Xuantian, as those secluded top powers of Central Continent began reappearing one after another.
They started announcing to the world about coming back to reality and declared their intention to join the Chaotic World Struggle.
Instantly—
Messages, like flying feathers, radiated from Central Continent outward in all directions.
-
Central Continent's "Xuantian Sect," announces the end of seclusion, formally re-emerges in the world, and officially joins the Chaotic World Struggle!
Central Continent's "Qi Family," announces the end of seclusion, formally re-emerges in the world, and officially joins the Chaotic World Struggle!
Central Continent's "Luohua Valley," announces the end of seclusion, formally re-emerges in the world, and officially joins the Chaotic World Struggle!
Upper Nine Provinces, Jizhou's "Xuan Palace," announces the end of seclusion, formally re-emerges in the world, and officially joins the Chaotic World Struggle!
Lower Nine Provinces, Yizhou...
-
"Finally coming out, eh."
In Central Continent, at the Xuantian Sect's mountain peak, which had long been abandoned due to their withdrawal from the world, numerous Xuantian Sect disciples were now bustling about, cleaning the mountain peak, officially emerging from the small world.
And the Second Elder of Xuantian Sect, hands on hips, closed his eyes with an excited face, inhaling the air's scent, and muttered to himself.
"Indeed, the air of Xuantian Continent is sweet and fresh,"
"The small world was too oppressive; this old one felt truly uncomfortable there."
"Now that Chen Qiu has finally died, there's no need for Xuantian Sect to hide anymore, and just in time to catch the chaotic world, there are many opportunities waiting for Xuantian Sect to seize."
Other elders nearby were also showing smiles on their faces at this time.
"It seems that sometimes ancestral teachings may not always be correct. It is said that only by hiding from the world could one avoid the calamities of Chao Tian Sect's resurgence, but now it seems that the Chao Tian Sect isn't as powerful as our ancestors said. Although they were impressive for a while, they didn't last long before dying."
"I have wanted to say this for a long time, tens of thousands of years ago the Chao Tian Sect had millions of Sword Cultivators, but today's Chao Tian Sect has only Chen Qiu left, and the rest of the disciples are a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled, nowhere near their past glory."
"It's just that the Sect Master is overly cautious, otherwise I think there was nothing to fear from that Chen Qiu."
"Who's to say otherwise? Hiding away made us miss out on many opportunities, and recently, there have been many Heavenly Dao Secret Realms appearing, not to mention the sealing formation of the small world, which has wasted a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures."
Unlike the smiles on the faces of many 'Xuantian Sect' elders here, celebrating the death of Chen Qiu and catching up on the chaotic world opportunities,
At the peak of Xuantian Sect,
The Master of Xuantian Sect stood with an emotionless expression, hands behind his back, standing on the edge of a cliff, gazing at the white clouds in the distance and spoke softly, "Xuantian Sect only you have been in close contact with that Chen Qiu, do you think... did Chen Qiu truly die?"
"..."
Standing next to the Sect Master, the Sect Grand Elder remained silent for a long time before he said softly, "I feel that Chen Qiu wouldn't die so easily. Only those who have seen him with their own eyes can sense his strength and that kind of... conviction."
"Someone like Chen Qiu, even if he died, certainly wouldn't die so quietly and unknown."
"We don't even know where or how Chen Qiu died."
"With Chen Qiu's strength, only a Void Refining Expert could reliably kill him."
"But..."
"No matter which Void Refining Expert it was that killed Chen Qiu, their subordinates would definitely come forth to proclaim it. Killing Chen Qiu is a feat worth boasting about, after all, he was the most prominent Heavenly Pride of Xuantian Continent recently."
"What's strange is this point; to this date, no one has come forward to claim they killed Chen Qiu. As for dying in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, that seems like a far-fetched tale."
"I would rather believe that Chen Qiu committed suicide than believe he died so easily."
After a while,
The Master of Xuantian Sect finally sighed deeply and spoke in a low voice, "I share your view, but the Heavenly Dao Decree and the celestial phenomena cannot deceive people."

"Xuantian Sect is not one person's."
"The elders and disciples want to come out after knowing of Chen Qiu's death, and it can't be suppressed."
"I've already sent someone to 'Gua Sect', to see if there's any information on their side."
'Gua Sect' is the most powerful Gua Cultivation sect in the Central Continent, a sect fully dedicated to Gua Cultivation.
When the top forces of the Central Continent chose to hide from the world, it was 'Gua Sect' that was the first to choose seclusion. If the Gua Sect also confirms the death of Chen Qiu, then this matter could essentially be set in stone.
...
Xuantian Continent, Central Continent, Gua Sect.
Inside the now-reemerged Gua Sect, an Inner Sect Disciple of Gua Sect was looking at several dozen visiting sect elders, calmly stating,
"I would ask the esteemed elders to be patient. Our Sect Master is personally performing a divination and will notify everyone as soon as there is news."
It wasn't just Xuantian Sect that had sent people to inquire; most top forces of Central Continent had sent representatives.
Meanwhile, in the back mountain of Gua Sect,
The Sect Master of Gua Sect was sitting on a mountain peak, engaging in the First Grade Divinity Transformation Domain 'Gua Heaven Divination Earth', looking calmly at the divination stones in his hands.
'Gua Heaven Divination Earth',
A Divinity Transformation Domain suitable for Gua Cultivation,
Many of Gua Cultivation divination techniques require the expenditure of one's own lifespan,
If one possesses this Divinity Transformation Domain, it will prioritize consuming the lifespan of living creatures in a bound state within the domain, including Spirit Grass, Spirit Trees, and Spirit Beasts.
