Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times-Chapter 518 - 198: Be a hero in life, and a mighty ghost in death.

At that time,

around him, the Spirit Grass and Spirit Trees within his Divine Domain had all withered, and thousands of Spirit Beasts, drained of vitality, were collapsing to the ground.

His Divine Domain was only First Grade.

It wasn't that he couldn't create a higher grade Divine Domain, but for a Gua Cultivator, activating the Divine Domain during combat was pointless, regardless of its grade.

After all, the grade of the Divine Domain didn't determine its power, only whether it could be suppressed.

First Grade was enough.

Even if elevated to Second Grade, he felt it was a waste of resources and meaningless.

...

The Gua Sect was the strongest sect in the central region and the entire Xuantian Continent, and as its Sect Master, he naturally was the strongest Gua Cultivator of the Xuantian Continent.

However, regarding the question of who Chen Qiu had died at the hands of, he had already conducted nine divinations.

Each divination was different.

Some suggested that Chen Qiu had died in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Others proposed that Chen Qiu had suddenly fallen into a fissure that was, in fact, the Bottomless Abyss, dying instantly on the spot.

There were also divinations that Chen Qiu was slapped to death by an Outer Realm Demon.

And even that Chen Qiu had committed suicide due to unsuccessful relationships.

Initially, he wanted to deduce a few more times, but when the divination mentioned Chen Qiu committing suicide over relationship issues, he knew there was no need to continue trying.

Such a person, committing suicide because of a troubled relationship?

What a joke.

If it were due to relationship issues, it would be more believable if he had annihilated the girl's entire family three thousand times over.

And at that time—

An elder in hemp clothing slowly approached him, the washed-out hemp garment almost turning white, standing not far from the Gua Sect Master and proclaimed in a weighted voice, "Still, each divination is different?"

"Yes."

The Gua Sect Master nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of perplexity, "Just like when Chen Qiu first came into prominence, it remains that each divination is different."

When Chen Qiu formed his twelve-grade Nascent Soul.

They had divined about Chen Qiu, and at that time they were inconsistent in each divination, so they assumed that Chen Qiu must possess a Spiritual Treasure capable of disrupting the divination, and it wasn't of low grade.

Such Spiritual Treasures, although extremely rare, did exist.

Understandable.

But...now that Chen Qiu was already dead, why could they still not divinate it clearly? Logically, once dead, whatever devices disrupted fate should have ceased to function, unless that which interfered with fate wasn't a Spiritual Treasure, but an entry.

This could explain it.

Although they had never seen such an entry, there were so many entries in the world, those they hadn't seen were too numerous to count.

"But..."

The Gua Sect Master shook his head and, laying out the nine divination stones in a row, said, "Although the cause of Chen Qiu's death cannot be deduced, one thing can be certain, Chen Qiu is indeed dead and is no longer in this world."

"Divined nine times."

"Every divination pointed to Chen Qiu's death."

"Yes."

The elder in hemp clothing remained silent for a long while before speaking hoarsely, "Try the tenth divination."

"..."

The Gua Sect Master, upon hearing this, was silent for a long time before he spoke quietly, "Is there a need?"

Gua Cultivators have a rule.

With any matter, divination should not exceed nine times, as nine is the ultimate number.

Divining past nine would enter an uncontrollable stage.

It would randomly consume a considerable amount of lifespan, potentially exhausting one's remaining span completely, with no means to counteract this consumption, such as the 'Divine Gua of Heaven and Earth' in the Divine Domain.

Of course—

The price paid meant that the accuracy of the tenth divination was often extraordinarily high.

"There is."

The hemp-clothed elder spoke indifferently, "The more detailed the divination, the greater the consumption. I don't care about how Chen Qiu died; I just want to confirm whether he is truly dead, to avoid him fooling the Heavenly Dao and faking his death."

"Tens of thousands of years ago."

"The Gua Sect back then took collective action, led the million disciples of Chao Tian Sect into a trap, and nearly caused the complete destruction of Chao Tian Sect. This feud exists; if Chen Qiu is not dead, I cannot be at peace."

"Alright."

The Gua Sect Master's breathing became heavier, his eyes tightly shut, tossing all nine divination stones into the air, then slowly closed his eyes.

He did not activate the Divine Domain.

The wrinkles on his face visibly increased, his entire person turning significantly paler in just a moment.

After a few breaths,

a mouthful of black blood violently spurted out. The Gua Sect Master stabilized his rapid breathing before wiping the bloodstain from his mouth corner, "The tenth divination confirms, Chen Qiu is dead."

"Good, good, good!!"

The elderly man in hemp clothing's face showed a rare flush of color, excitement apparent in his eyes as he repeated 'good' three times!

...

Soon—

A message spread from the Gua Sect across the entire Xuantian Continent.

The Gua Sect Master personally conducted the divination ten times, confirming Chen Qiu's death.

This news caused a tidal wave of shock across the Xuantian Continent. Those unfamiliar with Gua Cultivation did not understand the implications of the tenth divination; however, those with some understanding of it

knew well.

The tenth divination, for Gua Cultivators, often required a particularly heavy price.

And the accuracy of this tenth divination was also the highest, essentially confirming that the matter of Chen Qiu's death was conclusively irrevocable!

For a time, even those who did not believe in Chen Qiu's death had no choice but to accept reality.

With the Heavenly Dao Imperial Decree and unusual celestial phenomena coming first, followed closely by the tenth divination, even if these people still doubted Chen Qiu's possible demise, they knew now that there was no changing this matter.

...

"Alas."

In Myriad Beast Sect, a Peak of Divinity Transformation elder stood on a mountain peak, looking complicatedly towards the direction of Quzhou, feeling an indescribable complexity within.

He and Chen Qiu had no grievances or grudges.

Neither favor nor feud.

They hadn't had much interaction either, but for some reason, he felt a deep sense of regret concerning Chen Qiu's death; such a unique Heavenly Pride, to fall like this.
