Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

...

In Xuantian State, Handsome City, within the Liu Family Ancestral Hall.

An elderly man with white beard and red hair was kneeling inside the hall, his face slightly anxious as he held three sticks of incense and looked towards the most prominent tablet on the offering table, whispering softly, "Ancestor, please bless us with peace."

And the clansman to whom this tablet was dedicated was named "Liu Sanqian."

He didn't know how his ancestor had become involved with the Chao Tian Sect ten thousand years ago, nor was he clear on whether his ancestor truly came from the Xuantian Continent. He had no wish to know these things right now.

He just wanted to know whether the elder token from the Chao Tian Sect in his hand could truly ensure the safety of his Liu Family.

If it couldn't...

Then he and the Liu Family would have nothing left but to fight to the death!

Although the Liu Family lacked a Void Refining Expert and could not match the Zhang Family of Tai City, they were, after all, a lineage with a long history, having had Void Refining Experts in the past and still possessing some heritage. If they really had to fight to the death, the Zhang Family of Tai City would not fare much better!

Just then—

Outside the ancestral hall, a woman in a white dress and a veil entered slowly. After respectfully offering three sticks of incense, she looked up, her pupils tinged with a hint of red as she spoke softly, "Father, if it means the Liu Family can be at peace, I am willing to give myself to the Zhang Family's Ancestor."

"Don't speak nonsense,"

the white-bearded red-haired old man shook his head, "Those words should not be spoken again. You know it's impossible. It's not just about you, it's about the dignity of the entire Liu Family."

"Even if I could accept, the elders and descendants of the Liu Family would not be able to."

"Rather than be mocked by others when we step outside, it's better to fight to the death and at least leave behind a good reputation."

Afterward.

The elderly man with the white beard and red hair sighed deeply and remained silent. Since he had shown the Chao Tian Sect's token, the group from the Zhang Family had retreated. He obviously knew why they had backed off; they were going to verify the authenticity of his token.

But...he himself wasn't certain about the actual status of that token, all he could do was to hope for divine providence, wishing for its protection.

...

On the Flying Boat.

The Zhang Family's Ancestor from Tai City, currently a cultivator at the early stages of Void Refining, was trembling in a corner of the Flying Boat as if suffering from a chill. His own clan members would be shocked if they saw him like this.

But...

Anyone else would be the same in this place. On this boat were all top-tier individuals; the Heavenly Axe Sect Master, who usually took the seat of honor, was now merely an attendee here.

The Chao Tian Sect Master, standing here alone, was a match for a Unification Realm expert.

Truly evil. How had the world come to this, where one fresh into the early stages of Void Refining could directly kill a Unification expert?

Just then.

He suddenly thought of something and transmitted his Divine Sense to the Shopkeeper of the Thorny Shop, sitting on the ground, "You said that although Sect Master Chen possesses the power to kill a Body Integration Realm expert, he is after all only at the first level of Void Refining. Surely his defenses aren't as absurd as his Attack Methods, right?"

"You think if attacked by surprise, Chen Qiu would be able to react in time?"

"Even if he could react, given that he is only at the first level of Void Refining, his defensive measures shouldn't be too strong, right?"

No sooner had he spoken than the Zhang Family's Ancestor saw the color drain from the Shopkeeper's face. Then, despite being bound hand and foot, he desperately moved away from him.

The Zhang Family's Ancestor quickly realized his mistake, his own face going pale. A low-level cultivator's Divine Sense Transmission could be intercepted, but he had been out of touch with high-level cultivators for so long that he had forgotten this detail.

Shortly after, he turned his trembling gaze towards the others on the deck of the Flying Boat.

He saw the Heavenly Axe Sect Master turning to look at him, eyes filled with disbelief, as if admiring his courage.

This is it.

The Zhang Family's Ancestor's first thought was that everything was over, wait... perhaps not completely over. After all, Chen Qiu was only at the first level of Void Refining and couldn't intercept his transmission; as long as the Heavenly Axe Sect Master didn't speak out, there wouldn't be a problem.

Just then—

He saw Chen Qiu, standing on the deck of the Flying Boat, also turn to look at him calmly.

Great.

Now it's completely over.
