Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

It can also be used to reduce the power of Heavenly Tribulation, and it can serve as a trump card.

Even if one died, they could still cast a Merit Body in the underworld.

Thinking about it this way, even if he really died one day, and even if he arrived in the underworld, he would still be Chen Qiu, the Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect. It seems unlikely in this lifetime to experience again the feeling of rising from obscurity.

"..."

Chen Qiu had no plans to squeeze into the crowd. He stood outside, seeing if he could overhear any information from the storyteller in the teahouse. Fat Long had told him that teahouses were the best method for gathering information in a strange place.

The tales are not necessarily accurate, as storytellers often exaggerate.

But to attract customers, storytellers tend to tell what people in the city love to hear the most, so one could determine what the people in the city have recently been concerned about.

He found this quite convincing.

In terms of gathering intelligence, Fat Long had his methods.

"Speaking of that day—"

The storyteller on the high stage of the teahouse slapped his wooden clapper onto the table, "I was in Quzhou that day, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Chen Qiu was just standing there while the whole world went silent because of him, facing countless members of the Evil Clan alone, turning his back on all beings. Despite being severely wounded, he carried an unstoppable aura!"

"You know, at that time Chen Qiu had only his Golden Core Cultivation, and among those from the Evil Clan, there were no less than four Divinity Transformation masters. Just imagine, a Divinity Transformation is much more than one Great Realm above Golden Core!"

"Just because Chen Qiu had utterly crushed all the Heavenly Prides of the Evil Clan, and was about to slay the most outstanding pride of the Evil Clan, a Divinity Transformation master from the Evil Clan couldn't stand by and sneak-attacked him, inflicting severe injuries on Chen Qiu and saving their own defeated pride."

"Think about it, a normal person would have just endured it, right?"

"After all, none of the same level cultivators from the Evil Clan matched Chen Qiu, and to come back alive from the hands of a Divinity Transformation master was already something to make Chen Qiu proud!"

"But—"

"The reason why Chen Qiu is called an unparalleled Heavenly Pride is that he does things beyond the ordinary!"

"That day!"

"Chen Qiu, with his back to all beings, invoked the Thunder Punishment with nearly a hundred billion merit points, slaughtering the entire Evil State. He sunk the entire landmass of the Evil State into the sea. Since then, the Xuantian Continent has been forever rid of the Evil State and Evil Clan!"

"That scene was witnessed by everyone in the Evil State and the lower nine states."

"Even to this day, the skies above where the Evil State once was still bear the marks of that day's widespread Heavenly Punishment, with the heavens scorched black, how could the Evil Clan withstand it!"

"That day, the Heavenly Dao Decree announced that the Evil Clan had been exterminated."

"Ten days later, Chen Qiu formed a twelfth-grade Nascent Soul, officially entering the Nascent Soul Stage, declaring to the world that the entire Xuantian Continent would soon be overshadowed by Chen Qiu!"

...

"..."

Chen Qiu, with an expressionless face, silently sighed after a long while.

In Da Xia Country, those storytellers only knew to talk about him.

In Quzhou, those storytellers also only knew to talk about him.

Damn it, even in the underworld, these storytellers still talk about him. Don't you underworld have your own Heavenly Prides to discuss, still talking about the Mortal World's Heavenly Prides in the underworld?

If he hadn't risen to power, would all these storytellers be out of jobs?

He had come to hear some information about the underworld and to gather intelligence, but ended up hearing a bunch of his own exploits. Who could have anticipated that?

He had never been to the underworld, but his reputation was already spreading everywhere down here.

Just at that moment—

A Ghost Cultivator in the crowd loudly questioned, "If Chen Qiu was so formidable, why did he die?!"

"Yeah, yeah."

As the words fell, the crowd suddenly jeered, "We died early and don't know about the affairs of the Xuantian Continent. You say you died not long ago, so you should know clear about the affairs of the Xuantian Continent, then tell us, how can such a mighty Chen Qiu suddenly die."

"That's right, is there anyone Chen Qiu couldn't defeat?"

Just half an hour ago.

A Heavenly Dao Decree echoed through the entirety of the underworld, and all the Ghost Cultivators in the underworld learned of one thing—that the unparalleled Heavenly Pride from the Mortal World, Chen Qiu, had suddenly died and arrived in the underworld, and moreover, with a hundred billion merit points, had formed a Merit Body.

"Don't rush to cause a commotion..."

The storyteller on the high stage of the teahouse, with a complicated expression, looked at the guests and said in a very grievous tone, "When Chen Qiu was in the Mortal World, he was an unparalleled Heavenly Pride, causing a huge stir throughout the Xuantian Continent."

"After coming to the underworld, he formed a Merit Body with a hundred billion merit points."

"He truly deserves to be called—"

"A hero in life, and a formidable ghost in death."

"The strength of the Merit Body formed with a hundred billion merit points is feared to be starting at the level of Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators. Just wait, it won't be long before you can hear about Chen Qiu making a significant killing in the underworld."

...

Chen Qiu silently left the crowd, stood up, and continued to wander aimlessly along the main thoroughfare in 'Crow Ghost City.' It must be said, there is a real difference between the underworld and the Mortal World.

For instance...

You don't need to eat in the underworld. Even if one was a completely talentless mortal without even the first layer of Qi Refinement Realm in the Mortal World, once in the underworld, there's no need to eat.

Things like 'Human Pills' are considered snacks, not meant to fill your stomach.

And just then—

Suddenly, he saw a stall where there was a Jade Scroll, with a line of small characters written beside it.

"Complete Basic Information of the underworld."

"How much for this?"

Chen Qiu squatted down, grasped the Jade Scroll in his hand, and subconsciously wanted to reach out with his Divine Sense, but he found that he couldn't extend it outside his body at all. Strange...he had just used his Divine Sense to kill that Divinity Transformation dwarf from the Dwarf Clan moments ago.
