Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Vast Continent, underworld, at this very moment in a tea house, the storyteller was passionately narrating the tale of Chen Qiu.

There were no such shackles of state and land here.

At this time, two old men with complex expressions were seated at a table. They too had once boasted a resounding reputation on the Vast Continent, and there was a time when they proudly believed their future would sit atop the summit throne of the Qi Tian Continent.

But who would have known...

At their peak, they had cut off their own fates and voluntarily come to the underworld to seek refuge.

What marked the endpoint of life had now become their haven; had they not come to the underworld, when the "Unique King" battle commenced, their Divine Souls would've perished without even a chance to breathe.

"Actually, I never really wanted to go to Qi Tian Continent."

One elder, after quietly listening to the storyteller on stage recount the story of Chen Qiu, maintained a complex silence for a long time before begrudgingly admitting, "It's said that the Qi Tian Continent is a contaminated land, most entries that emerge there are about mutant bodies, forms neither human nor ghost, really not a bit appealing."

"Isn't that the truth?"

The other elder, sitting beside him, also full of empathy, mockingly agreed, "Once that Chen Qiu goes to Qi Tian Continent, he'll understand what a contaminated continent means, whether to choose those breakthrough entries or not, whether to embrace those heavenly opportunities or not?"

"Choose, and they'll all become existences neither human nor ghost; if not, then their combat power will forever be in stasis."

All the continents of different grades, some are contaminated.

For instance... the majority of entries produced are about mutant bodies, or the skies are perpetually cloaked in extreme darkness, or where living creatures can only acquire Cultivation Progress by killing others of the same realm, or where Spiritual Energy has dried up, and so forth.

These relatively abnormal continents are collectively termed as contaminated continents.

A lower-ranked continent like the Vast Continent could only advance to its higher-ranked continent, "Qi Tian Continent," and not move to other Third Grade Continents. At such times, if their higher-ranked continent happens to be a contaminated one.

One either abandons the idea of progress forever, or preps early to handle it.

And "Qi Tian Continent" is one severely contaminated continent.

...

For a while—

On the Vast Continent, those who owned thrones in other state lands had made similar choices, and nearly none lingered too long on the Vast Continent; firstly, for fear that the next moment the shackles of state land might be lifted, perhaps they wouldn't even have time to end their own lives.

Secondly, they also feared delaying a bit longer might make them hesitant.

Meanwhile, in Pingxi State, Taiping Prefecture, a white-haired and venerable ancestor of Taiping Prefecture was cheerfully sitting beside a bonfire. All the clan members of Taiping Prefecture had rushed back that night, gathered together to celebrate.

They were celebrating because of his wise decision; now he could stay out of the affairs and cheerfully remain uninvolved.

The figure who sought immortality, fearing not even death, the current King of Pingxi, had just come to bid him farewell. He might have already reached the underworld by now, and from here onwards he would begin anew in the underworld, hoping that the change in status wouldn't bring too much psychological pressure.

Just then—

"Hmm?"

The cheerful old ancestor of Taiping Prefecture suddenly stiffened, a fleeting sense of bewilderment crossing his face. Just now, he had suddenly discovered the aura of destiny that had always enveloped him was gone, and the "Fairy's First Night," a red entry, had also slowly vanished.

This meant that the fairy who had given him her first night had died again.

His luck had reset to square one!

"Damn it..."

The old ancestor of Taiping Prefecture felt like crying but had no tears, his face as ugly as if he had eaten excrement. He was unsure whether to continue the celebration or not, questioning if the mortality rate of fairies was too high these days?

After all, they were fairies, which implied powerful strength; just one first night could bestow upon someone such a formidable entry, how could they just die so easily, dying at every turn.

The last fairy who gave him her first night had died, and unexpectedly, he had managed to encounter this opportunity a second time. But now this fairy had died again.

He knew this lifetime's greatest opportunity was completely gone. Once could happen twice, but not a third time; it was impossible for a third fairy to come seeking him to resolve ancestral karma.

...

Fourth Grade Continent, Jiang Taiping Continent.

Currently, atop a peak where "Ling Pavilion" was bustling, countless influential figures controlled by various powers and numerous heavenly pride, young men, and women had gathered here. Today was Ling Pavilion Young Master, Ling Shiqi's grand wedding day!

It was also a day when Ling Shiqi seized a heavenly opportunity, a Heavenly Dao Term Group that nobody had ever obtained before!

Numerous people were invited to come.

Included among them were first-class powers from "Jiang Taiping Continent" and other notable beings from lower-ranked continents. One could say, if everyone here died today, the power structure in the days to come on Jiang Taiping Continent, including its lower-ranked continents, would undergo a major upheaval.

And in this moment.

Countless eyes turned to the figure standing on the high building, Ling Shiqi, looking arrogantly cold as he oversaw the crowd. Beside him stood a young girl veiled thinly, who was the second daughter of a top power family in the Fourth Grade Continent, also from an extraordinary family.
