Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"Slap!"

With an expression as cold as ice, Ling Shiqi immediately slapped him across the face. His voice filled with a thick murderous intent, he said word by word, "Tell me, did you hear about the Heavenly Dao Decree before attending this banquet?"

"I..."

He had barely uttered a word when another slap came flying.

"So you clearly heard the Heavenly Dao Decree and still came to the banquet, just to relish in my embarrassment?"

"I..."

Another slap followed.

"Since you heard the Heavenly Dao Decree, why didn't you inform me in advance? Don't forget, your Bai Family's current status is due to Ling Pavilion's support. Without the Bai Family, it wouldn't be too troublesome to raise another dog."

"I..."

Yet another slap.

"Tell me everything you know about Chen Qiu."

"I..."

Ling Shiqi slapped him once more, his face turning ugly with suppressed rage as he hissed, "Get out, I don't want to hear another worthless word from you right now. You're useless to me; Ling Pavilion will find out all there is to know about Chen Qiu by itself."

"I..."

"Get out!"

As Ling Shiqi watched the retreating figure of the Bai Family Patriarch, his face remained grimly silent for a long while before suddenly sneering. He had already checked the effects of the "Void Seeking Enemy" Seven-colored term; with just a name and face, he could ignore the distance and Heavenly Dao shackles to launch an attack on Chen Qiu.

As long as he obtained a Memory Stone bearing Chen Qiu's likeness, then Chen Qiu would face his wrathful strike.

With his level of cultivation, a mere Chen Qiu was beneath his concern.

A Heavenly Dao Decree had been issued in the Third Grade Continent, which meant that Chen Qiu was currently in a Second Grade Continent. Ling Shiqi wasn't interested in how such a Second Grade Continent could stumble upon such fortune; all he wanted now was for Chen Qiu to feel his fury.

To let Chen Qiu understand that casually stealing another's fortune would bring about lethal repercussions!

A mere trivial figure from a Second Grade Continent, in front of him Ling Shiqi, was nothing but a straw man!

Furthermore...

It seems he didn't even need the Void Seeking Enemy.

A glint of murderous intention flashed in Ling Shiqi's eyes as he looked at the "Heavenly King" character embedded within his Dantian. During the past struggle for the throne, he had acquired the title of "Unique King," and the one to claim the title of "Unique King" fastest in all the graded continents would be known as the "Heavenly King."

The effects of the Heavenly King Title were far stronger than that of the Unique King.

This "Heavenly King Title" allowed him to traverse between different continents at will, which is why he could venture to a Fifth Grade Continent and acquire such fortune. He planned to use the "Heavenly King Title" to personally seek out Chen Qiu, letting him witness what it meant to incur a gentleman's wrath.

Along his journey thus far, the fortunes he had amassed were not solely from a Heavenly Dao Term Group. Though it indeed was his greatest fortune, his other fortunes were also formidable, all of which comprised his foundation.

Just a little fellow from a Second Grade Continent, although it was unknown how he walked into such dumb luck to obtain such fortune, he couldn't possibly match his own profound foundation.

Ling Shiqi's emotions slowly calmed, and he began to ponder with narrowed eyes. He wouldn't completely discount this Chen Qiu; since he had acquired such fortune, he must have something extraordinary about him. Perhaps he could imprison him and plunder all his fortune for himself.

For most cultivators, the fortunes encountered in their lives were few and far between.

Nearly all of their fortunes were gained through plunder.

He was no exception.

A blessing in disguise, this incident might not be entirely bad for him. Without it, he would never have known of Chen Qiu's existence. If he could plunder further fortunes from Chen Qiu's hands, then indeed it would be turning misfortune into a blessing.

After all, if he set aside the loss of face, the only thing he really lost was a trace of "Heavenly Destiny," which was an acceptable price to pay. Although he did not know what Heavenly Destiny was used for, it surely couldn't be anything particularly valuable.

...

"..."

The Bai Family Patriarch's cheeks were red as he emotionlessly returned to his seat. He hadn't activated his Protective Spirit Qi, so the five slaps landed squarely on his face, naturally an unpleasant experience.

He had intended to explain.

But from beginning to end, he didn't get a chance to say a word, just managed to utter five 'I's before he was slapped five solid times and then kicked out.

How splendid.

After a lengthy silence, the Bai Family Patriarch suddenly turned his head to gaze calmly into the distance, saying nothing. Anyone who has raised a dog knows that when it disobeys, it must be punished, which is normal, but one can't hit too harshly, as it might turn vicious out of desperation.

Yes, the Bai Family indeed rose to the top echelons of the Qi Tian Continent with the support from Ling Pavilion.

But...

He was still the strongest on the Qi Tian Continent, both in status and strength, the pinnacle of existence. To be so dismissive, even unwilling to make a show of courtesy, signified a complete disregard for his ability to bite back.

Although the Bai Family Patriarch sat calmly in his seat and said nothing, a murderous intent was surfacing in his heart, and his trusted followers very wisely kept their heads down behind him, acting as though nothing had happened. At this moment, the best thing they could do was to remain quiet.

...

Meanwhile...

In Xuantian State, Chen Qiu was completely unaware of the outside world's happenings. His focus remained on the Vast Continent, and after the conclusion of the celebration banquet, Chen Qiu, having returned to the Heavenly Palace, didn't delay for too long before preparing to resume his cultivation.
