Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

I never expected to bump into them again in the underworld after so many days, and for Yuan Sect to actually gift me another great opportunity.

What a good person.

Boundless merit.

Along the way, there have always been many unsung heroes willing to risk their lives and ruin themselves to help me.

I was originally prepared to leave the city and smash those three Devil Clan members at the Divinity Transformation to death outside the city, which would allow me to break through to the Divinity Transformation Second Layer. Now it seems there's no need for that.

It's not worth missing out on the feast ahead for a little immediate gain.

Just wait patiently for one day.

...

Crow Ghost City.

At this moment, the city walls were already filled with many Ghost Cultivators, and the City Lord of Crow Ghost City looked towards the distant Devil Clan army with an ugly expression.

Although the Devil Clan would attack from time to time, they had never launched an attack on such a massive scale; this time, it seemed they were dead set on capturing Crow Ghost City.

There were three Divinity Transformation Ghosts on the opposing side.

And in Crow Ghost City, there was only one Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivator—I was at a complete disadvantage and could only rely on the City Protection Array to see if I could hold out for a while. I had already sought help from an old friend, but it was unclear whether Crow Ghost City could hold on until then.

"Huff..."

The City Lord of Crow Ghost City, looking troubled but still clenching his teeth tightly, took a deep breath and roared lowly, "Hold the line!"

"Activate the array!!"

...

Not far from Crow Ghost City, hundreds of thousands of Devil Clan Ghost Cultivators were resting in place. A Devil Clan member at the Divinity Transformation, with a complex expression, looked towards Crow Ghost City for a long time before turning his head to a Human Ghost Practitioner beside him, and said with a smirk:

"The Devil Clan has long prepared to devour Crow Ghost City, and you think with just your slick words you can make the Devil Clan give up the attack? What if what you say is a lie?"

"By the time reinforcements arrive at Crow Ghost City, we will have to leave without accomplishing anything. Wouldn't that be a wasted trip?"

Just as he was about to launch an attack—

These three Human Ghost Practitioners risked their lives to rush into the barracks, shouting along the way that they could bring forth the Human Ghost Practitioner Chen Qiu. The surrounding Devil Clan Ghost Cultivators heard this and didn't dare to make a move, so they let them through to his side.

Human Ghost Practitioner Chen Qiu...

A Merit Body forged from a hundred billion merit points. If I could consume it alone, my cultivation might skyrocket directly to the Void Refining Stage; how could I not be tempted!

In so many years in the underworld, there has never been a Merit Body created with a hundred billion merit points.

The most one ever had was ten billion merit points, and that person was at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul but could fight against those at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation. After being consumed by one at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation, his cultivation surged directly to the Late-stage Divinity Transformation!

And his physical strength greatly increased.

But this time it was a hundred billion merit points... Let alone a surge in cultivation to the Void Refining Stage, even a breakthrough to the Void Refining Peak might be possible.

"Certain!"

Qi Mei's eyes were filled with determination as she looked at the Divinity Transformation Devil Clan Ghost Cultivator in front of her and said word by word, "Yuan Sect and Chen Qiu have deep hatred; Yuan Sect was slaughtered by Chen Qiu. As long as we slander Chen Qiu throughout Crow Ghost City, he will definitely not be able to resist coming here to silence us!"

"At that time, the Devil Clan just needs to set up a trap around Crow Ghost City and wait for Chen Qiu to take the bait!"

"Okay."

This Devil Clan Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivator didn't hesitate; after only a moment of consideration, he nodded and said, "You go back to spread the word in Crow Ghost City. The other two will stay with me. If you try any tricks, the lives of these two will remain here."

Then, as the Devil Clan Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivator watched Qi Mei's retreating figure, he looked to the two other Devil Clan Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators beside him with hesitation and asked, "What do you two think?"

"Can't swallow it." One of the Devil Clan Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators shook his head, sighed long, and said somewhat helplessly, "Even if the plan succeeds, we can't handle it."

"Although a Merit Body forged from hundred billion merit points is indeed very tempting."

"But Chen Qiu was a peerless Heavenly Pride in the Mortal World, at the peak of Nascent Soul, and with a Merit Body forged from a hundred billion merit points. Even the one forged from ten billion merit points was powerful enough for an Early Stage Nascent Soul to fight against an Early Stage Divinity Transformation. With a hundred billion merit points, the power is likely to be even more terrifying."

"All three of us are at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation; we definitely can't handle Chen Qiu."

"We must go back for reinforcements."

"At least five at the Peak of Divinity Transformation would make it a little safer."

"Even then, the Merit Body we'd get from killing Chen Qiu would be much less, but there's no helping it."

"Of course, even if more people share in the spoils, after all, it's a hundred billion merit points, averaging out it's still a tremendous opportunity."

The other two Divinity Transformation Devil Clan Ghost Cultivators also nodded in agreement, clearly accepting this idea.

Soon.

A decision was made—they withdrew their forces, ordering the main army to retreat slowly while the three went to seek reinforcements. A big opportunity like this shouldn't be lost to outsiders; they definitely had to find their own well-acquainted Peak of Divinity Transformation.

Five at the Peak of Divinity Transformation, plus their three at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation to flank, should be enough to handle Chen Qiu, right?

Meanwhile, the City Lord of Crow Ghost City, who was originally prepared to defend the walls to the death, looked at the suddenly retreating Devil Clan army and was puzzled, his face full of confusion.

What's going on?

Why are you suddenly withdrawing?

...

One day later.

Having reverted from his disguise as a dwarf, Chen Qiu was now sitting in a teahouse with his hat on, enjoying the story told by the storyteller with relish.

Every once in a while, he would take a bite from the apple in his hand—juicy and sweet, quite relaxed and content.

At this moment—
