Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Perhaps... maybe it is...

He couldn't figure it out for the moment.

But he was certain of one thing, that Da Xia Country was not just an ordinary "Heavenly Prison." He had never heard of other "Heavenly Prisons" randomly giving birth to transmigrators. He would return to Da Xia Country after some time.

When his Cultivation had broken through to Divinity Transformation, he had gone to the entrance of the small world in Da Xia Country, but he couldn't enter.

Now that his Cultivation had reached the Body Integration Realm, he should be able to shatter this entrance.

As for the rules mentioned by Deceit Buddha, he hadn't yet decided which one he would follow. Based on his temperament, he had always preferred to choose the best option, and naturally, he aimed for the "Be faithful in love" rule.

But...

This rule was a bit too absurd.

Love one woman for tens of thousands of years?

He admitted to himself that he couldn't do that. People are not afraid of recognizing their darker sides; they fear not having a correct understanding of themselves. At least at this moment, he was certain that he could never love one woman for tens of thousands of years.

Step back and choose the second rule, "Fairness"?

That sounded absurd too.

And it definitely didn't suit him.

None of these rules seemed appropriate for him. If he really had to choose a rule, he was more inclined to "do as one pleases," but his version of doing as one pleases was to do whatever he wanted. By following the "do as one pleases" rule, it would actually prevent him from doing completely as he pleased.

This went against his true intentions as well.

If he were to truly follow his own thoughts, he would choose not to follow any rules. He didn't want to bind himself to any particular set of rules; it made him feel as if there were a sword hanging over his head that could fall at any moment.

He didn't like that feeling.

But...

It seemed that once Cultivation reached a certain level, this step appeared to be inevitable.

Just at that moment—

The Bai Family Patriarch, who had been pondering for a long time, spoke up, "If Cultivation reaches such heights, must one follow a certain rule?"

"Yes."

Deceit Buddha nodded affirmatively, "If you want to advance further, you must follow a certain rule. Otherwise, without even an entry ticket, how can you continue the competition?"

"Of course, nothing is absolute."

"If you are fortunate enough to encounter those who have broken out of the Heavenly Prison and devour their flesh, you won't have to take this path. The Heavenly Prison is an extremely special place that baptizes everyone imprisoned within, such that they are no longer controlled by the Heavenly Dao. After you devour their flesh, you can achieve the same effect and enter the competing hall without this ticket."

"But..."

"The difficulty of breaking out from the Heavenly Prison is comparable to becoming an immortal overnight, which is almost impossible. And catching such a person is even more improbable. If by some chance someone does escape from the Heavenly Prison, the major powers of the high-tier Immortal Realms would deploy all resources to capture this person. Ordinary people like us wouldn't even get a sip of the soup."

"So, this route is essentially out of the question; you can only take the common path."

The moment these words ended,

Fat Long sighed helplessly, and the scholar shook his head in a somewhat dispirited manner, while Chen Qiu's expression remained unchanged as he took an apple peeled by Xiong Gao's hand.

Everyone seemed very calm.

But inside, the corners of their mouths were already twitching madly.

They had heard this argument from Ba Dan before, and now they were hearing something similar from Deceit Buddha's mouth.

They thought they were Sun Wukong, enduring through eighty-one trials and until finally, they achieved victory, but after all this time, it turned out they were like Tang Seng on the run, with everyone lusting after their flesh.

And it wasn't just one Tang Seng.

It was a whole group.

...

"..."

Chen Qiu silently bit into the apple in his hand, already contemplating in his heart the need to find methods of concealing his innermost secrets. If anyone had a way to see through others' thoughts or directly perform Soul Extraction, then he would be completely exposed.

And after the people from Chao Tian Sect and others reached the high-tier Immortal Realm, they should also try to leave the small world as little as possible.

Keep a low profile, then.

At least according to what Ba Dan and Deceit Buddha said, if the matter ever got out, it wouldn't be a trifling matter. The great powers of the high-tier Immortal Realm would mobilize in full force.

It's as if...

It's as if they had already obtained the quota to compete in the final hall. As long as their Cultivation reached the required level, all of them, without competing against anyone else, could naturally enter that competing hall.

It wasn't just Chen Qiu alone, but everyone who had left Da Xia Country.

However... only he had broken out, while Fat Long and the others had been brought out. It was uncertain whether Fat Long and the others counted as well, and for the moment, there was no way to perform an experiment to confirm.

"Chen Qiu."

Deceit Buddha turned to Chen Qiu and was about to say something when Chen Qiu interrupted him.

"Chen Qiu?"

Chen Qiu suddenly laughed, staring into Deceit Buddha's eyes, "I don't recall ever telling you my name was Chen Qiu."

"..."

Deceit Buddha was slightly startled, but quickly recalled and pointed at Fat Long, "He called you Brother Qiu?"

"Surname?"

Deceit Buddha then pointed at the Bai Family Patriarch, "He called you Master Chen, in the shrine hall, right in front of me. Isn't that the same as Chen Qiu?"

After explaining, Deceit Buddha looked at Chen Qiu and the rest, who were calmly staring back at him. His mouth twitched slightly before he sighed, "Fine, I admit I lied. The first time I saw you, I knew you were Chen Qiu."
