Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 636: Chapter 225: “Merit Golden House”.

Xuantian State, Duoduo City.

The Heavenly Axe Sect Master was staring solemnly at the Memory Stone in his hand, remaining silent for a long time. Inside the Memory Stone was recorded none other than an elder token from the Chao Tian Sect!

Truth be told, it was somewhat frightening.

In terms of rank, this Chao Tian Sect elder token was even higher than the token that Chen Qiu had personally handed to him.

But this thing was said to be in the hands of a certain family in an inconspicuous small town called Handsome City.

After a long while.

The Heavenly Axe Sect Master set the Memory Stone aside, took out his own Chao Tian Sect token, and observed it up and down, frowning as he shook his head, “Something’s not quite right. The token Chao Tian Sect gave me is made of Evil Wood, while the one in this Memory Stone appears to be merely white jade.”

As the words fell.

The shopkeeper of the Thorny Shop tentatively whispered, “Does that mean this token is a fake?”

The Heavenly Axe Sect Master’s brow furrowed but he did not speak. He most likely believed this thing to be a fake, but the token had a primitive aura and clearly seemed to have been around for a while, not like it had been recently forged.

And, to put it less politely, who would have the audacity to forge a Chao Tian Sect token? They must be tired of living, right?

But…

This matter was too important to be taken lightly.

His expression indifferent, he glanced at the two who had come to pay their respects, “As for whether it’s real or fake, I’ll have to personally make a trip to the Heavenly Hall and ask the Chao Tian Sect. I’ll need the two of you to stay here for the time being.”

Without any hesitation, he then walked out of the hall and transformed into a beam of Liu Guang, shooting off!

…

After the Heavenly Axe Sect Master had left.

The Zhang Family’s Ancestor spoke with a trembling voice, “This isn’t right, is it? I just came to find out whether this thing is real or fake. If it’s real, I go back and treat the Liu Family as honored guests; if it’s fake, then I continue to put pressure on the Liu Family. It was such a simple matter. How did it turn into going directly to the Chao Tian Sect now?”

Before he came.

He never expected this affair to directly alarm the Chao Tian Sect; he had only come to scout out information.

As a minor character with a minor Void Refining Cultivation, he would have no issues in his own territory, but in front of the recently rising Chao Tian Sect, he seemed rather insignificant!

To a power of such caliber, even a grain of sand falling would be like an unblockable boulder.

They were not on the same level at all!

“The situation has gotten a bit big,” the shopkeeper of the Thorny Shop said darkly, “I must remind you that if that token is real, and that Handsome City’s Liu Family really is under the protection of the Chao Tian Sect, then your life is likely to be forfeited here, along with your entire Zhang Family, none spared.”

“Just from what you’ve done to the Liu Family, that’s enough!”

“How can all this be blamed on me?”

The Zhang Family’s Ancestor explained hurriedly, “The Liu Family didn’t take out the Chao Tian Sect token right away either. If they had shown it earlier, would I have been able to pressure them? The moment they took it out, didn’t I stop? Besides, our Zhang Family hasn’t killed a single person from the Liu Family. Apart from putting pressure, we haven’t done anything too excessive, and the dowry I offered was also the best possible!”

“Explaining to me is useless,” the shopkeeper of the Thorny Shop shook his head with an ugly look, “Go explain to the Chao Tian Sect. What’s the point in explaining to me? You shouldn’t have sought me out. If you had assumed the Chao Tian Sect token to be real from the outset and not bullied the Liu Family anymore, would there be so much trouble now?”

“What the hell are you talking about!”

The Zhang Family’s Ancestor roared angrily, “How can this be blamed on me?! I just came to ask you for information, and you took me straight to the Heavenly Axe Sect. How is this any different from leading me to turn myself in?”

“Let me tell you!”

“If I really die, before I die, I have to splash some dirt on you too. Besides, it was you who brought me here. Do you think you can get away?”

After a round of cursing at each other, the two did not come to blows, but after exchanging a look, they stood up and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

They couldn’t stay here any longer.

They were preparing to flee for their lives now since if that token turned out to be real, waiting here was like waiting for death. If they acted quickly to sell off the shop at a low price, they could still recover some of their capital.

But just then—

A tremendous Cultivation suddenly emerged outside the great hall.

No one was seen.

But it could be clearly felt that an elderly man with late-stage Void Refining Cultivation was sitting out in front of the hall, basking in the sun and lazily saying, “The Sect Master has ordered that before he returns, the two of you are not to leave the hall!”

“…”

“…”

The two men stood silently in place with changing expressions, and then sat down again. Clearly, there was no escaping now; the Heavenly Axe Sect Master had made arrangements against them before leaving.

That must have been his intention all along.

If that token was real, then they would require special handling.

They could now only hope that the token would be fake.

Just then—

Two old men suddenly approached from outside the hall, one a white-bearded elder with eight moles on his head, draped in a kasaya, and the other appeared to be a kindly old man in a green robe.

“Amitabha.”

This white-bearded elder in the kasaya bowed and uttered the Buddhist incantation before speaking softly, “Benefactor seems to be in trouble, let me introduce myself.”

In the next moment!

Spiritual Energy surged out, turning into threads in the air, forming rows of small characters.

“Buddhist Ancestor, half-step into Void Refining Cultivation, was once a sworn enemy of Chen Qiu on the Xuantian Continent, but ultimately, through careful scheming, returned to good terms with Chen Qiu, adept at…”
