Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 324: Chapter 151: Heavenly Dao Decree: The Long Night is Coming!
 

After asking some basic questions, Chen Qiu finally sat on the snow heap in silence, lost in thought without speaking.

In the Xuantian Continent, there is no such concept as a country.

There are only sects and families, etc.

There are many cities, markets, and villages where humans gather. Cities and markets are often built by sects or families, and they must contribute a certain amount of taxes to their affiliated sect annually, in return for the sect’s protection.

In cases where some of the older external disciples of a sect can no longer advance their cultivation, they might manage their sect’s enterprises in the markets or cities or even start their own family. Though not a direct subordinate relationship with their original sect, the connection is quite similar.

Behind him, the small town was known as “Endlife Town.”

It wasn’t built by a sect but naturally formed due to the gathering of numerous hunters.

The town was located before a vast rock wall that provided excellent shelter from the raging blizzards and cold winds at the base of the mountain, making it a comparatively safe region. Initially, only one hunter had built a stone hut here, but eventually, more hunters built stone huts and some older hunters began trading items like food, leather armors, and talismans.

The snow mountain behind him was called the Boundless Snow Mountain, stretching for tens of thousands of miles with its peak shrouded in blizzards nearly half the time.

The area they occupied was under the jurisdiction of Yuan Sect, and besides them, there were four other cities that were also properties of Yuan Sect, which were major sources of spirit stones for the sect.

The Sect Master of Yuan Sect was the highest in cultivation in this area, and was also the highest-ranked person in this region, although he was reclusive and hardly ever seen.

His cultivation had reached the peak of Nascent Soul.

It was said that he hadn’t been seen for over a hundred years.

…

“…”

Chen Qiu maintained his silence. He had already gathered a general understanding. The Xuantian Continent was vast, and to such an extent that this hunter didn’t care about other regions, only focusing on what happened in their area.

The snow mountain behind him was also called the “Boundless Snow Mountain,” seemingly another side of the Boundless Snow Mountain. The hunter had clearly told him, although he had never been to the other side, he had heard it was also inhabited by a group of hunters. This indicated that Da Xia Country was not on the other side of the Boundless Snow Mountain; it might be sealed at the summit of the mountain.

To return to Da Xia, one would need to journey to the summit of the Boundless Snow Mountain.

The hunter had given him a collection of assorted and curious records, containing various intriguing incidents, though it was hard to distinguish true from false, and the news was outdated—the earliest events dated back twenty years.

Still, he could get a rough understanding of this world from it.

For example, a member of the Jiang Family’s branch used an entry “Undying Loyalty,” collaborating with his wife to crazily expand their family’s territory. This member of the branch had only mid-stage Golden Core cultivation.

But the effect of the entry “Undying Loyalty” was such that if one member of the loving Taoist couple fell in love with someone else, all three individuals, including the new love interest, would self-destruct together.

Because of this, no one dared to confront this formidable couple, for fear of being liked by them and having no means to resist and self-destructing. Wherever this couple went, people stayed well away.

However, once love arose, it was uncontrollable.

In the end, the member’s wife fell in love with the latest rising star of the Jiang Family’s main branch, and the conclusion was that all three self-destructed together, causing even the explosion of the Golden Core to kill many lower-cultivation disciples of the Jiang Family.

Since then, the Jiang Family began to gradually decline, and this incident was widely spread, much to the joy and delight of many.@@novelbin@@

The entry “Undying Loyalty” could even make one fall in love with another through a Memory Stone from afar, but a prerequisite was knowing the other’s appearance and bodytype, having at least some understanding of the person. Mere knowledge of the name wouldn’t suffice.

“…”

Chen Qiu’s mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing. This strange tale was most likely true, as he had randomly acquired this entry during his last selection. Now he finally understood why, on the Road to Heavenly Pride, names could be revealed yet faces remained hidden.

This was probably to avoid just this situation.

And due to this, the power hitters of Xuantian Continent hardly ever showed their faces publicly. If they had to show themselves, they would distort the forces of heaven and earth in front of them to cover their faces, and they would leave no survivors when they attacked.

To avoid dying under some inexplicable rule.

Although “Undying Loyalty” was difficult to chance upon, it was well-known in Xuantian Continent as not merely the only entry with rule-based killing capacity, but the only one with unlimited cultivation rule-based killing ability.

If used correctly, even a beginner in Qi Refinement could slay an Immortal Emperor.

Of course, this was theoretical, as practically it was nearly impossible to achieve since the Immortal Emperor had too many countermeasures.

But it was precisely because of its uncontrollable and variable nature, this entry was fraught with risks and often led to self-harm.

Beyond that, there were other bizarre anecdotes, such as—

“Evil Sect had a thousand-year legacy and slaughtered over dozens of sects, with at least millions dying at their hands, making it an undeniable Evil Sect. However, thirty years ago, the sect suddenly transformed into a righteous sect overnight.”
