Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"This round strictly prohibits the use of 'Shrinking Technique' and the entry 'Slippery'."

"Trial condition: Within one hour, knock down those one hundred traitor puppets."

- Your next journey awaits at empire

The moment the voice echoed in his mind, the elder by his side had disappeared without a trace.

"..."

Chen Qiu squinted his eyes and looked seriously at the panel for the third round, the first and second rounds both had tricks for passing, such as infiltrating the island at the bottom of the sea or finding a safe spot.

Conditions that seem utterly impossible to pass all have their tricks.

Although he didn't know what abilities of Magic Practitioners were being tested by infiltrating the sea bottom and finding safe spots.

But since the assessment was like this, there must be a reason for it.

It's just this third round...

Among ten thousand Magic Practitioner Puppets, knocking down one hundred traitor puppets, the Thunder Summoning Technique used by these ten thousand Magic Practitioner Puppets was not a simplified version, but real attacks that would indeed hurt a lot if they hit a person.

In such a situation, to quickly find those one hundred traitor puppets, it seemed somewhat impossible.

While he was pondering, the time of a cup of tea had passed, but those ten thousand puppets had not emerged from the seabed.

As he was looking around, puzzled, a voice came to his ear.

"Hold on, the puppets got broken on the beach, let me fix them."

"..."

About the time it took for three sticks of incense to burn, the sea water finally boiled up just like last time, and ten thousand patchwork Magic Practitioner Puppets, emanating fearsome might, flew into the air, completely surrounding Chen Qiu in the middle, looking down on Chen Qiu with the disdain with which Heavenly Soldiers might look at ants.

Just the sight was enough to strike terror into countless hearts.

Right after, these Magic Practitioner Puppets, without the slightest hesitation, were about to simultaneously gesture with Taoist Techniques, looking toward Chen Qiu with cold expressions, ready to wave their hands. It was foreseeable that in a breath's time, tens of thousands of Thunder Snakes would envelop Chen Qiu!

However—

Chen Qiu was even faster!

Almost at the moment those Magic Practitioner Puppets had just emerged from the sea, the Heavenly Dao Foundation within Chen Qiu began to rotate rapidly, with all the spiritual energy in his body surging through his meridians at several times the speed of previous days.

By the time the Magic Practitioner Puppets were suspended in mid-air, Chen Qiu, his face now red with exertion, roared fiercely with the long sword in his hands raised above his head.

"Break!!!"

The next breath!

Before those Magic Practitioner Puppets could make a move.

"Thunder Summoning Technique"!

"Nine Poison Nether Soul Technique"!

"Dual Casting"!

"Ten Layers of Spellcasting"!

"Focused Power"!

"Spiritual Energy Intimidating"!

The terrifying Cultivation of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment was released without restraint, the Heavenly Dao Foundation inside began to rotate rapidly. Although it couldn't absorb nature's spiritual energy, it could make spiritual energy rush out quickly!

A full force strike without holding back.

This was the solution he came up with, using every method available to destroy all ten thousand puppets. That way, no matter where those one hundred traitor puppets were hiding, they would surely be destroyed too!

The quickest way to kill bandits hiding among hostages is to go all-in!

Under "Dual Casting" and "Ten Layers of Spellcasting," more than four thousand enhanced by "Focused Power" and "Spiritual Energy Intimidating," Great Perfection Realm Thunder Summoning Technique transformed into thousands of Thunder Dragons in mid-air, roaring fiercely as they charged towards the ten thousand Magic Practitioner Puppets high in the sky!

That scene was as if they were trying to break through the cage to see the light of day once again.

Compared to this "Thunder Summoning Technique," the tens of thousands of Thunder Summoning Techniques that the Magic Practitioner Puppets had just started to cast seemed like child's play, completely incomparable in scale.

One was a Thunder Loach, the other a Thunder Dragon.

An overwhelming difference like that between heaven and earth!

However, these thousands of Thunder Dragons were just a simple Starting Move, amidst the roaring of the Thunder Dragons.

Tens of thousands of green Demon Fire appeared beside Chen Qiu, like countless stars reflecting in the sea, carrying with them a sky full of toxins and a sinister aura. Chen Qiu had stuffed all the resentful spirits he had collected over the past days into these Demon Fires, except for that early Golden Core resentful spirit!

Suddenly—

The Demon Fires seemed to have gained sentience, their might amplified while the entire sea echoed with the anguished howls of the resentful spirits from the netherworld, mingling with the roaring of the Thunder Dragons, one bright and one dark.

This was Chen Qiu's strongest Attack Method, without using his Self-Destruction Term, Golden Core resentful spirit, or Fiery Flame Seven Killings Array Plate and other trump cards!

Just with this one strike, he had completely exhausted the Spiritual Energy in his body. If this strike was ineffective, he would have to activate his Golden Core resentful spirit trump card.

But...

He felt like he might have underestimated himself a bit. He had always considered himself an ant in the Cultivation World, but now it seemed he wasn't that weak.

Those thousands of Thunder Dragons and the sky full of Demon Fire almost instantly engulfed the Magic Practitioner Puppets.

Immediately afterward.

All ten thousand Magic Practitioner Puppets exploded in midair, sending a sky full of orange-red fireworks into the sky.

Exceptionally beautiful.

In a few moments, the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy on the sea's surface gradually ceased, and Chen Qiu quickly replenished the Spiritual Energy inside him with dozens of Spirit Stones. Meanwhile, the sea's surface was littered with countless pieces of Magic Practitioner Puppet debris.

Many pieces of debris were still burning, emitting black smoke.

"Phew..."

Chen Qiu took a long breath, seemingly having passed the round, and everything appeared normal this time. He didn't end up on the Array Repair Continent so there should be no problem, definitely having passed in a regular manner.

Just then—

The old man with an air of celestial grace reappeared beside him. His complexion no longer looked as pale, probably because his Spiritual Energy had mostly recovered. However, he now stood in midair, gazing at the numerous Puppet debris on the sea's surface with an expression of neither joy nor sorrow, silent for a long time.

This made Chen Qiu feel slightly uneasy inside, and he ventured, "Senior?"

After a long while.

The old man replied with neither sadness nor joy, "Isn't the rule to destroy one hundred traitor puppets? Did the other puppets provoke you?"

"Uh... Disciple is somewhat foolish and couldn't quite discern which ones were traitor puppets. And since my strength is insignificant and I couldn't withstand the simultaneous attack of tens of thousands of Magic Practitioner Puppets, I had to strike first for strength."

It might have been an illusion, but Chen Qiu thought he saw the old man's eyelid twitch.

"..."

After another long silence, the old man spoke again with a blank face, "Your strength doesn't seem weak."

"Is it that hard to distinguish? Only the Thunder Summoning Technique from traitor puppets can harm you; the Thunder Summoning Techniques from other puppets are just illusions. If you pay close attention when you're attacked, you would be able to identify which ones are traitor puppets. Is that difficult?"

"At least you should give the puppets a chance to attack you, shouldn't you?"

"You shouldn't come to the Magic Practitioner's legacy; you should go to Body Cultivation's legacy."

"Uh..."

Chen Qiu replied sheepishly, "Disciple is not adept at Body Cultivation."

The old man turned his head to glance at Chen Qiu, his lips trembling slightly as if he was about to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and with a wave of his sleeve, he collected all the remains of the Magic Practitioner Puppets into his Storage Ring.

Good, no need to repair this time, and certainly no way to repair anyway.

Immediately after—

The familiar voice once again emerged deep within Chen Qiu's mind.
