Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"There's no need to think about these things,"

Chen Qiu shook his head, interrupting everyone's thoughts, "Dwelling on such matters will only lead to entrapment by Heart Demons, from which we cannot extricate ourselves. We will keep moving. At least when catastrophe strikes, we'll be on the road, not at home."

He immediately turned and walked out of the house.

He had just inquired about the Deceit Buddha's matter, recently asking which was the lowest Grade Continent that had collapsed. To his surprise, it turned out to be a Fourth Grade Continent.

That was indeed strange.

Logically speaking, the underworlds of many First Grade Continents collapsed from time to time; could it be that recently, only the underworld of the "Seven Maiden Continent" was in a state of collapse among the low-Grade Continents?

"Master Chen,"

the Bai Family Patriarch hurried after him, a flicker of confusion in his eyes, "Logically, this shouldn't be the case. The underworlds of numerous First Grade Continents were collapsing not long ago. I don't know why, but recently, there haven't been any."

"So..."

He bit his lip, hesitating a bit before he said, "Master Chen, I have a way to send you to the 'Seven Maiden Continent.'

"Oh?"

Chen Qiu looked at the Bai Family Master in surprise, "The Bai Family Master has such a method?"

"Master Chen is jesting," the Bai Family Master said with an embarrassed expression, "After all, the Bai Family is the hegemon of the Qi Tian Continent, and we have accumulated some methods. Would Master Chen be willing to visit the Seven Maiden Continent to explore it?"

Although his daughter suffered from "Immortal Cancer," she would not die within decades and could wait for some time. They could wait for the underworlds of the First Grade Continents to open up again before contacting Chen Qiu.

There was no need to pay such a steep price. Traveling to an upper-level Continent that was not from their own series entailed a considerable cost for the Bai Family.

But based on his life experience,

If someone was willing to help you, it was best to solidify the matter shortly. With time extended, many situations could change. That's the case of "giving rise to change with the passage of time."

"Naturally,"

Chen Qiu nodded, "Since the Bai Family Master has this method, I am quite interested in the Seven Maiden Continent. I would be willing to take a trip there."

...

"Here."

Fat Long, who was at the back, took out a Storage Ring from his bosom and tossed it to the Li Family Master before quickly saying a word of thanks and hurriedly catching up with Brother Qiu's pace.

Watching the retreating backs of Chen Qiu and his group, the Li Family Master was filled with shock, and it took him a long time to snap back to reality.

He had encountered a true immortal.

The group's conversation had not avoided him at all; he had heard everything clearly. Terms like Fourth Grade Continent, Fifth Grade Immortal Realm, and underworld collapse were high-end vocabularies, matters far beyond his level of discourse.

He had thought about clinging to their powerful coattails, but now it seemed improbable. The gap was too wide, and there was nothing he possessed that could be of use to them.

The value of usefulness was the greatest weapon for one to offer allegiance.

And his greatest value had just been used up. He investigated the Storage Ring with his Divine Sense and found that quite a generous amount was given. Immediately, he respectfully bowed three times before the Deceit Buddha on the altar before exiting the temple and closing the door behind him.

All doors and windows of the temple were sealed, not a ray of light to be seen.

The Deceit Buddha does not like light.

However...

The Li Family Master walked out of the temple, standing there pensively. These people clearly knew that he had the power to resurrect the dead, so why had they never mentioned this ability? Did these immortals not have any dead relatives or friends they wished to bring back to life?

Why did they completely disregard his ability?

Moreover, from the conversation, it seemed that this group was here to cure someone, but with his abilities, why bother with treatment? Simply kill the patient and let him resurrect them, instead of taking such a roundabout approach?

He certainly didn't think it was because the immortals were too foolish to consider this.

But since it wasn't stupidity on the Immortal's part, it had to be...

"..."

The Li Family Master looked towards the woman watering flowers in the courtyard with a complex expression on his face. She was his early years' wife, who had died years ago, and had been resurrected by him a few days ago. She looked exactly the same, her figure and those habitual little movements were also exactly the same.

She also liked to water flowers.

She also liked to eat peach juice tofu.

Just like his wife from his early years, without any problems, and very affectionate towards him.

But he always felt something was off, though he could never articulate what exactly was strange; he had assumed his wife must have simply found it hard to adjust after being asleep in the darkness for so long, suddenly resurrected. However, the group he had just spoken with explicitly mentioned the existence of the underworld, meaning there was definitely another world where the dead could be revived.

That group had been inquiring about the entrance to the underworld, as if they intended to bring someone back from there too. But if it was so difficult for those Immortals to bring someone back from the underworld, how could it be so simple in his case?

Furthermore, the middle-aged man had mentioned that those who owned the Deceit Buddha never met a good end.

This set off an alarm in his heart.

"Fei er."

The Li Family Master looked towards his wife with her back to him, watering the flowers, and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword while taking a few steps back. His eyes were filled with intense killing intent, but his voice remained as gentle as ever, softly saying, "Don't turn around, I'm going to ask you a few questions."

"Hmm."

The woman's voice was inaudible as a fly, she acknowledged, continuing to water the flowers without turning around.

"Where did we first meet?"

"In Master's alchemy room. At that time, you were a mortal who wanted to apprentice and become an Alchemist."

"What is your favorite food?"

"Peach juice tofu."

"What did I love to do with you the most?"

"Playing on the swing."

The Li Family Master feverishly fired off several questions that only he and Fei er would know; the woman in front of him answered fluently without any issues, her voice devoid of any fluctuations, very calm.

There seemed to be no flaws.

But the more perfect her responses, the stronger and clearer became the feeling that something wasn't right in the Li Family Master's heart.

After asking a few more questions in rapid succession, the Li Family Master suddenly said, "You once said you hated flowers the most, so why have you now started to like watering them?"

The woman's body visibly stiffened suddenly, but she quickly turned to look at the Li Family Master with puzzlement in her eyes.

"What are you talking about? I've always liked gardening."

"Don't you remember?"

"Heh... I haven't forgotten."

The Li Family Master suddenly laughed, his laughter growing louder and louder, before he took a deep breath, and spiritual energy surged forth without a moment's hesitation. He sprinted wildly towards the Immortals who had just left through the manor's main gate, shouting loudly.

"Noble Immortals, save me!!!"

"Save me!!!"

This woman's answers were seamless, with no holes, but that was the biggest problem. With the temper of his true wife, she should have been hitting him with a broom by the third question.

Not continuing to answer.

All the right answers, but all the wrong temper.

His wife was not one to speak so easily.
