Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

His cultivation at the early Mahayana Realm was not weak, but it was still no match for him. There was just no need to start a conflict upon arrival, especially such a reckless one.

"So you didn't mean to disturb?"

Standing still like a small mountain, the giant looked up at Chen Qiu with flames of anger flickering in his eyes. His voice, like the ringing of a copper bell, stated word by word, "Is it over just because you say you didn't mean to disturb? Do you have any idea how much effort I've put into waiting for this day?"

"Do you know that after all this time, I finally waited for three young girls?"

"Do you understand how much I've been looking forward to this moment?"

"And it's all because of you, it's you who ruined everything, I won't be appeased until I kill you!"

"..."

Chen Qiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't bother explaining anything further. Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked down at the giant below. Since the other party insisted on fighting, there was no point in explaining further. The best way to clear up a misunderstanding was to demonstrate one's power.

As he braced himself for the storm of Spiritual Energy rushing towards him, and the giant below bent his knees slightly, both readying to strike, a voice suddenly exploded in their ears.

"Grandpa, grandpa!"

"Don't fight, don't fight, he's a friend, he's my friend!"

Both turned their gaze unconsciously toward the source of the voice and saw a slightly smaller giant running towards them in the distance. The ground shook with each step. Although not as tall and robust as the giant below, the approaching giant was still dozens of feet tall, qualifying him as a giant among giants when compared to ordinary people.

"Zhao Yishi!"

"Zhao Yishi?"

Chen Qiu and the giant below exclaimed in unison, but Chen Qiu's tone was filled with disbelief and shock, while the one from below held a note of confusion.

...

Chen Qiu's eyes were disbelieving as he looked towards the smaller giant running towards them. His appearance had changed quite a bit; even though he used to have a tall human body, it was now composed of rock, yet it seemed that he cleaned himself frequently, as there was no moss on the stones.

No longer human.

He was much taller than before, seemingly even stronger, his head turned to stone as well, yet his face still bore three points of similarity to Zhao Yishi. Mainly, that simple-minded voice was just too familiar.

He hadn't had too much contact with Zhao Yishi, but he had an exceptionally deep impression of the man known for his Pink Entry of "Heaven-reaching Giant."

Before leaving Da Xia Country, Zhao Yishi had come to find him, hoping to go with him. However, considering that cultivating Zhao Yishi would demand enormous resources and the man had a strong fear of combat, rendering him almost useless, he had not agreed to Zhao Yishi's request.

He hadn't expected to encounter Zhao Yishi here.

This was the Fourth-grade Continent, and even he had to rely on the "Heavenly King Title" to smuggle himself in. How could Zhao Yishi appear here, especially since, when he left, Zhao Yishi was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and hadn't even reached the Golden Core stage? It had been only a few years; at most, just over four, could he really have defeated that Nascent Soul Sword Cultivation Puppet in that time?

...

The giant below, looking at Zhao Yishi panting before him, asked incredulously, "Are you sure this peeping pervert is your friend? This is the Fourth-grade Continent, and it's unlikely that your previous friends could have made it here."

"It really is."

Zhao Yishi, still panting, said, "Didn't I tell you some time ago that I have a friend who left the Heavenly Prison early? That's him, his name is Chen Qiu, and he's very powerful."

"There must be some misunderstanding between you two."

"Oh right…"

With eyes full of excitement, Zhao Yishi looked at Chen Qiu and exclaimed, "Where is my master Zhao Dezhu?"

"..."

Chen Qiu's mouth twitched slightly as he was yet to understand what was happening. He genuinely didn't expect that he'd encounter an old acquaintance here on the Fourth-grade Continent, and that this acquaintance had such strength?

Could it be that he had previously underestimated Zhao Yishi?

Still, he quickly released Zhao Dezhu.

Zhao Dezhu, released and looking around in confusion, wondered why he was suddenly let out. His gaze froze when it landed on Zhao Yishi, and then with an ecstatic expression he blurted out, "Zhao Yishi, how come you're here?"

"Sect Master, are we back home? Is this Da Xia Country?"

"No..."

With a complex expression, Chen Qiu said softly, "This is the Fourth-grade Continent, the Jiang Taiping Continent. You should catch up with your talented disciple first. I see this giant watching me eagerly as if he still wants to strike. I'll have to spar with him first."

Even though they had acknowledged each other,

this elder-generation giant below obviously still felt a little resentful, clearly annoyed that his leisure had been disrupted and still itching for a fight. His voice buzzed through the valley as he addressed Chen Qiu.

"Kid, since you and Zhao Yishi are friends, I'll let this matter go."

"But my long-awaited pleasure was ruined by your disturbance, and it's really bothering me. I need to let off some steam. How about a pure contest of skills? Seeing you're so young and already in the middle-stage Unification Realm, you must be a Heavenly Pride. Surely you wouldn't be the match for this old man in the Mahayana Realm, right?"

With that—

Regardless of Zhao Yishi and Zhao Dezhu, who were still catching up on the side, the giant crouched slightly then stomped ferociously, propelling himself like a tiger pouncing straight towards Chen Qiu who was suspended in the air. The terrifying momentum carried by him was so powerful that the heatwave roared before his fist could even land.
