Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

For instance, the day the underworld of the Xuantian Continent collapsed, almost no one knew about it, save for the Dwarf Clan.

Thus, two days earlier, he contacted the Bai Family Patriarch to inquire about which lower continent was currently undergoing an underworld collapse. This sort of issue is best handled with the help of the Bai Family Patriarch, who boasts of an information network spread across numerous continents.

However...

Underworld collapses are, after all, a rare occurrence. When a continent experiences such an event, it typically signifies that the continent is on the brink of collapse.

Chen Qiu shook his head, somewhat helplessly casting these thoughts out of his mind before continuing down the street.

He had no particular destination on this journey.

He was simply wandering aimlessly through the city, experiencing the local customs and culture of the Jiang Taiping Continent. Having an agenda for everything can feel very exhausting, and sometimes, it's quite refreshing to stroll without purpose.

He considered it a way to cultivate his spiritual heart.

Just then—

The Bai Family Patriarch got in touch with him.

"Hmm?"

Chen Qiu slightly raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief. The Bai Family Patriarch had news - a First Grade Continent was currently experiencing underworld collapse, which meant they could now obtain Yin Emperor's Fortune.

Otherwise, the situation would have been rather awkward for him.

...

First Grade Continent, "Peihong Continent."

"To be honest,"

Fat Long, floating high above, looked down at the city below with a slightly emotional expression, "Among the continents we've visited, this one has the most beautiful and prestigious sounding name."

"That's indeed true,"

the scholar nodded in agreement.

This continent, mentioned in the intelligence of the Bai Family Patriarch, had recently undergone an underworld collapse. It was not one of the twelve First Grade Continents under "Vast Continent" but rather a lower-level continent under a Second Grade one.

Of course, they were all part of the series of Third Grade Continents.

Even with the title "Heavenly King," which allowed one to freely travel to lower-level continents, one could only visit those within the same series, not suddenly venture to a First Grade Continent outside of their series.

"This is the place,"

the Bai Family Patriarch arrived in person, his expression earnest, "Master Chen, I'm aware of your strength; naturally, no one in a First Grade Continent could oppose you. But I must give you an overview of this continent. It is a contaminated First Grade Continent."

"Contaminated again?"

Fat Long glanced around thoughtfully, "Are continents so easily contaminated these days? But it seems to be in much better shape than your Qi Tian Continent, with not so many demons and ghosts."

"No,"

the Bai Family Patriarch shook his head, "Not every contaminated continent is like Qi Tian. In Peihong Continent, all living creatures are born with three entries."

"These three entries are fixed, the same for everyone."

"They are—"

-

'Entry name': Overcome higher levels in battle.

'Entry level': White.

'Entry effect': If the enemy's Cultivation is higher than yours, you can inflict more damage on them.

-

'Entry name': Fearless Against the Strong.

'Entry level': White.

'Entry effect': If the enemy's abilities in realms like Golden Core and Nascent Soul are of a higher grade than yours, then you can inflict more damage on them. For example, if you are at Foundation Establishment and the opponent is at Nascent Soul, it will sum up the grade of the opponent's Golden Core and Nascent Soul, resulting in a grade higher than yours.

-

'Entry name': Steady Development.

'Entry level': White.

'Entry effect': When your Cultivation is below the Foundation Establishment Stage, other Cultivators will deal significantly reduced damage to you, and you will deal more damage to those with Cultivation higher than Foundation Establishment. The higher they are above Foundation Establishment, the greater the damage you cause.

"..."

After hearing the Bai Family Patriarch's explanation, Fat Long mumbled in confusion, "What sort of messy entries are these? Everyone is born with these three entries? Doesn't that mean the higher your Cultivation, the weaker your strength? The weaker your Cultivation, the stronger your strength?"

"Yes,"

the Bai Family Patriarch nodded helplessly, "Each contaminated continent has different levels of contamination, but what's certain is that these contaminations definitely cause chaos. In this continent, most people keep their Cultivation at or below the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"From experiments, it has been found that people at this level of Cultivation are the strongest on this continent."

"Once your Cultivation breaks through to Foundation Establishment, or even to Golden Core, it becomes impossible to defeat those at the Foundation Establishment Stage. The 'Steady Development' provides too much of a boost—it's truly a Divine-level entry, not merely a White one."

"Of course, it's only up to the Golden Core stage. Once you surpass the early stages of Golden Core, reaching the advanced stages of Golden Core or even Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation, even those at Foundation Establishment with these three entries cannot defeat a Golden Core or Nascent Soul strong Cultivator."

"But the problem lies here."

"From Foundation Establishment to the early Golden Core stage, there's a significantly long gap during which basically nobody can defeat anyone else, even the large clans struggle to cultivate strength, as opposing forces would hardly allow a strong cultivator to rise."

"Actually, in such an environment, there are basically no large clans."

"There isn't a dominant family like the 'Bai Family'; there are only smaller clans."

"My main concern is that, with your Cultivation and grade, Master Chen, you might be harmed by these ordinary people."
