Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Almost there... Almost there...

Only one Sword Cultivator is lacking to deal the final blow to the Puppet, and in this life, the Ninth National Master chose Bai Yi, his fervent fan and the follower who even named himself after him.

A very talented young Sword Cultivator.

And he also has a Bloodline Entry.

It's just that his foundation is a bit weak; to become the strongest Sword Cultivator, one cannot do without fortuitous encounters.

He also arranged some fortuitous encounters for this youngster named Bai Yi.

The Sword Cultivator inheritance that the Eighth National Master did not want is as good as his.

But...

To pass the Sword Cultivator inheritance, one cannot do without experiencing great rises and falls.

He planted a hook in the heart of the Heavenly Dao's foremost beauty Ji Renjian, causing her subconscious to believe that the man she loved was not Ji Taiping but the one who silently protected her all the way, even though Ji Renjian mistook that person for Ji Taiping.

He influenced Bai Yi's mind, ensuring Bai Yi would escort Ji Renjian all the way; otherwise, with that kid's temperament, he would never have done such a thing.

And at the last moment, he made Bai Yi realize that his will had been influenced, leading him to withdraw and leave.

That would be enough.

Then, he ordered the Capital City Zhang Family to hunt down Bai Yi, leaving him crippled and with drastically reduced Cultivation, before banishing him to the Ask-the-Sky Market, patiently awaiting the arrival of his tenth incarnation.

Bai Yi's Bloodline Entry could serve as an excellent method of expedited travel for his tenth life and also provide the final blow when shattering the Nascent Soul Puppet later on.

As long as Bai Yi obtains the Sword Cultivator inheritance.

And after breaking through to the Golden Core, he acquires the opportunity with Ji Renjian, which he had arranged for Bai Yi long ago, allowing Bai Yi's power to surge. Similarly, he had already prepared for Bai Yi the whetstone in the form of Ji Taiping, to smoothly enter the Human Sword Unity realm.

But... it's still not enough.

He prepared five Demon Lotuses for his tenth life, the same ones unearthed from the Chao Tian Sect heritage, but they are all just seedlings that must be placed in a specific environment to grow to maturity.

Four are hidden in the Forbidden Land, one within the body of a woman—the Demon Clan Saintess, the true Demon Clan Saintess.

Captured before the Chao Tian Sect voluntarily imprisoned itself thousands of years ago, she lay frozen deep behind the mountains of the Chao Tian Sect.

He excavated her and altered all her memories.

The body of the Demon Clan Saintess is the optimal soil for growing the "Eight-petal Demon Lotus."

The condition is...

The condition is that it needs to ferment slowly in an extremely desperate state of mind, but one cannot be desperate all the time. A sliver of minor redemption is required; otherwise, the Saintess and the Eight-petal Demon Lotus would self-destruct together. Once enough time has passed to ferment, when that thread of salvation is extinguished, along with the fall of the Witch, the Eight-petal Demon Lotus will be fully matured.

Thus, he once again influenced the mind of this little girl, pushing her to become the Flower Offering Sect's Walking Heavenly Girl.

It's just that he no longer had time to find someone to give that sliver of redemption to the Walking Heavenly Girl.

He left the task to his trusted followers who remained in the palace.

He left behind a brocade bag.

If everything went according to plan, the Eight-petal Demon Lotus would have been ready to mature sufficiently by the end of the "Heavenly Pride Leaderboard." At that time, just destroy that thread of redemption, and the Eight-petal Demon Lotus will immediately reach full maturity!

Still not enough... Still not enough...

...

"...How interesting."

Chen Qiu looked at the fruit core in his hand, savoring the taste of the "Ling Fruit" he had just devoured. Not bad, a mix of sour and sweet. Beneath this Ling Fruit tree, he had restored all the memories of his previous lives.

Within his once-clear pupils, a trace of world-weariness slowly emerged.

He stood up from the small world and sat at the summit of the highest peak within Pingzhou, gazing absently at the horizon. He plucked a foxtail and put it in his mouth, slowly chewing without speaking.

A thousand years ago, it was his first transmigration.

Reborn through nine lives, his sole goal was to break out of this Da Xia prison to see the outside world.

He had once, as a Loose Cultivator, knelt before a Golden Core cultivator begging for his life.

He had also dressed in Bai Yi, holding a blue sword, killing until no one in the world dared to speak loudly.

Even as the State Preceptor sitting in the palace, he schemed against all under heaven and laid out plans for ten lifetimes.

All these were him, traces he left behind, still recorded in unofficial histories, sometimes even brought up by storytellers.

After memory restoration.

He also clearly understood that the opportunities he gained in this life were all arranged by his actions as the Ninth National Master. Now, it seemed that his plans back then had not all succeeded.

Many plans had failed.

For instance, the most important three opportunities were "Seven-colored entry Step by Step," "Caotian Sect small world," and "Dantian Expansion (unique)," all of which he had obtained successfully, and many subsequent opportunities were based on these three.

But... Thunder Summoning Technique, Self-Destruction Term, Ten Layers of Spellcasting, these methods that would substantially enhance his combat power, were unexpected gains.

There were many more surprises.

For example, the method for achieving the Twelve-Grade Golden Core was actually left in the secret chamber of the Huang Family in Fufeng City. All he had to do was follow the plan to exterminate the Huang Family, and he could obtain it, but... At that time, he simply had no time to deal with the Huang Family.

Instead, he obtained the methods for refining Golden Cores from the First to Tenth Grades from Old Man Cao, and by sheer luck, he still managed to refine a Twelve-Grade Golden Core.

And for example, to form a Twelve-Grade Golden Core, one needs nine Second-Grade Golden Cores.

He had already prepared this for himself as well.

He specially selected the weakest Artifact Cultivators in Feizhou and supported them to become Second-Grade Golden Core Great Powers. As Artifact Cultivators, even with Second-Grade Golden Cores, their combat power would be weaker compared to Sword Cultivators, Body Cultivators, and other combat-focused Cultivators.

Ning Taiping was one of the pawns used to instigate the unrest in Feizhou; this father and son were naturally dull-witted, and by leveraging their provocation, he spurred the Artifact Cultivator conflict, thereby allowing him to quickly gather a large number of Second-Grade Golden Cores.
