Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 319: Chapter 149: “Your Sword Intent is very chaotic.”_4
 

The next moment—

The gravely injured scholar could no longer stand and collapsed heavily into the pool of blood, the three-foot Qingfeng sword still clutched tightly in his hand. The Sword Intent that had been surging wildly through his body instantly vanished, and he appeared just like a fragile scholar, powerless to even truss a chicken.

“Whoosh!”

A Golden Core shot out from Ji Taiping’s corpse but was swiftly intercepted by a Chao Tian Sect disciple, who then respectfully presented it to Chen Qiu.

“…”

Chen Qiu took the Golden Core and, looking down at the scholar lying in the pool of blood, chuckled lightly, “Sometimes, I do envy such talent.”

With a wave of his sleeve,

the scholar was taken into his small world and sent directly to the Chao Tian Sect’s Alchemy Hall within it. The Star Battle Sect Master, having prepared healing pills, immediately fed one to the scholar as soon as they came out of the furnace!

Meanwhile, the Alchemy Cultivator prodigy and his wife were on hand, assisting in the background.

“Congratulations, Sect Master. The Second Elder has stepped into the realm of Human Sword Unity. Once his injuries are healed, his strength shall surge significantly!”

At that moment—

The group of Chao Tian Sect disciples floating in the sky came forward with complex expressions to offer their congratulations. Having seen many a Heavenly Pride, it was easy for them to feel inferior. Among them were Sword Cultivators who had struggled their entire lives without ever reaching this realm.

The sudden disappearance of Sword Intent from his person indicated an extremely high level of mastery in the Sword Dao: Human Sword Unity, the ability to wield Sword Intent at will.

That kind of personality, where one lives and breathes the sword, is not something one can achieve through later cultivation. Forced cultivation like Ji Taiping’s results in unstable realms, unlike the Second Elder, who was a natural-born Sword Cultivator.

If it hadn’t been for his grave injuries many years prior, he would surely have reached even greater heights by now.

To be honest,

there was a trace of grievance among them regarding the fact that the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder’s cultivations were lower than theirs, even though they knew they had joined the Chao Tian Sect mainly because of Chen Qiu.

But it was not reasonable for a group with lower cultivation to sit above them.

Today, the Second Elder had completely overturned this notion in their heads.

All were plainly aware that as long as the Second Elder could grow smoothly, there would come a day when they wouldn’t even dare to raise their voices in his presence. Their potential was visible, but the extent of the Second Elder’s potential was invisible.

They had thought that the Sect Master was just taking care of old affections by letting a few sit in the positions of elders, but now it seemed not to be the case.

If the Second Elder had such exceptional qualities,

then surely the Great Elder must have even more remarkable abilities, and the Third Elder, always silent and never heard to speak, must have something extraordinary about him, perhaps practicing some form of Silent Zen or the like,

retaining silence as a way of cultivation.

If that were the case…@@novelbin@@

Then the Chao Tian Sect would have one peerless Heavenly Pride and three top-tier Heavenly Prides, along with a group of old demons as the core disciples.

The crowd exchanged glances and saw the same realization in each other’s eyes, that this cobbled-together sect seemed… to have limitless prospects!

Suddenly, they even felt a sense of solidarity and belonging to the sect.

“…”

Chen Qiu, looking at the group of old foxes, chuckled lightly without speaking. In terms of sheer longevity, no one present had lived longer than him, and he naturally knew what they were thinking.

People gravitate towards strength.

In this respect, men even surpass women; women will willingly give everything for the man they recognize, whereas men will lay down their lives for the man they wholeheartedly acknowledge.

For men, to die in battle for someone they recognize is an honor of the highest degree.

To increase the sense of solidarity and belonging of the sect, the simplest method is—

to show these people the future of the sect!

And that their Sect Master is strong enough!

Let them know that by following the Sect Master and the sect, there may be bumps along the way, but one day they will reach an end they have never reached before.

He then turned his head towards the Ji Family Supreme Elder, whose face was ashen, and said softly,

“Kill him, and by the way, raid the Ji Family’s residence.”

“As you command!”

Accompanied by dozens of voices accepting the order, several dozen Golden Core Peak Great Perfection cultivators encircled their prey with grim smiles. It was a battle with a foregone conclusion, a mere blink of an eye before the fight was over. Although it was thirty-something against one, even if you were a Sect Master…

Well, if you were a Sect Master, they would be the ones to die.

The existence of a Sect Master is not something ordinary people can compare with; even if they swarmed him, they definitely would not defeat a Sect Master.

There was just no helping that.

…

Once the matter was concluded, before leaving, Chen Qiu still took the liberty to cover the naked Ji Renjian, lying in a pool of blood, with a garment and dug an unmarked grave atop Qingfeng Mountain, burying Ji Renjian within.

Afterwards, he stood in silent reflection in front of Ji Renjian’s grave for a moment before turning away with a calm expression and transforming into a streak of light shooting towards Fei State.

Once the scholar had fully recovered from his injuries, they could set off.

No matter what had happened in the past,

At least… he had succeeded.

With the aid of Sword Bone, Heavenly Dao Beauty, Sword Cultivator legacy, and the unstable realm of Ji Taiping, Bai Yi successfully stepped into the realm of Human Sword Unity. Without him, Bai Yi might never have reached this realm in his lifetime.

Having talent only satisfied the requirement to step into this realm.

But to truly enter,

Aside from talent, one also needed opportunity.

…

At this moment, inside the City Lord Mansion.

Chen Qiu was sitting in the City Lord Chair, looking at the man kneeling on the ground in front of him, weeping bitterly.

“Lord National Master!”

The Fat City Lord cried with a trembling voice, “I am a Body Cultivator at the seventh level of Golden Core; Lord National Master, please take Xiao Fei with you. My iron fists will definitely help you smash through any obstacles!”

“Without you, how could I live?”

The man before him was called Xiao Fei.

He had forgotten his original name; he remembered this man’s original name was quite a mouthful, and finding it troublesome, he had renamed him Xiao Fei.

Chen Qiu, with an undisturbed expression, did not speak; after a moment, he chuckled lightly, “You’ve been exiled from the Capital for thirty years without a word of complaint? Have you never thought that I was the one who kicked you out of the Capital’s core circles of power?”

“Not at all!”

The kneeling Xiao Fei raised three fingers solemnly and swore, “I swear to Heaven, I’ve never had such thoughts. In my life, I’ve even doubted whether I have a wandering illegitimate child, but I’ve never doubted the Lord National Master.”

“All right then.”

Chen Qiu said no more, stood up from the City Lord Chair, took the man kneeling before him into his small world, and then said softly, “Go find Fat Long to collect your disciple token and sect attire.”

…

Soon, another ten days passed.

In these ten days, Chen Qiu had claimed a hundred more Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills, but they were not needed for the time being. He planned to give them to Fat Long to set a reasonable Contribution Value for the sect.

Let the disciples exchange them by contributing to the sect.

For some disciples who had not yet reached the Great Perfection Cultivation of Golden Core Peak, the pill was still a big temptation.

The rest he planned to save for the scholar for now, to quicken the scholar’s cultivation progress, so he could become a significant fighting force for Chao Tian Sect. After going out, he would assess the market situation.

If this pill was not too scarce in the outside world and the price was right, he would take some out to exchange for Spirit Stones.
