Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 119 "You are the State Preceptor, right?"_4

"I'm going to the Sword Cultivator inheritance now, to snatch the Nascent Soul body for you, Brother Qiu."

"Is that possible?"

Chen Qiu looked at the scholar with a light smile, "Why don't you wait until you've restored your Golden Core Cultivation before going?"

"No need." The scholar shook his head, "The difficulty of the challenges in the Inheritance Secret Realm is determined by the cultivator's level. My current Cultivation is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment, so the difficulty is correspondingly at the level of Foundation Establishment third layer, and it will be lower."

"Good."

...

Chen Qiu and others withdrew from the small world and ventured back into the Boundless Icefield, heading towards the Inheritance Secret Realm. This was already his third time stepping into the Boundless Icefield.

The first time, he obtained the Magic Practitioner inheritance.

The second time, he annihilated tens of thousands from the Evil Clan.

The third time was to help the scholar obtain the Sword Cultivator inheritance.

At the entrance of the Inheritance Secret Realm.

After Chen Qiu briefed the scholar on some hidden techniques of the Sword Cultivator inheritance unknown to outsiders, he earnestly patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Give it your all, it's all up to you."

"I will do my best."

The scholar took a deep breath and then stepped determinedly into the Inheritance Secret Realm.

It was already past midnight.

Although the Fame Ranking had disappeared and he could no longer receive Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills, the more than 200 people were still in his small world. Once he broke through to the Golden Core, there would be no one in Da Xia to fear, and then he could release all those people.

With the Self-Destruction entry, his initial Golden Core Cultivation level could unleash a full-force blow of Nascent Soul cultivation.

In Da Xia, who could stop him if the Nascent Souls didn't appear?

"..."

Chen Qiu took out a rocking chair from his Storage Ring, lay down on it, and looked up at the dense black clouds in the sky, enjoying the leisure of the moment. His Cultivation had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, Great Perfection.

He didn't need to consider cultivation at all.

He hadn't been able to just lie here peacefully without a thought in a very long time. It was quite extravagant to let time slip away bit by bit. If the most precious thing in the world was time, then the happiest thing was to waste it.

Fat Long, on the other hand, was kindling a bonfire and roasting Roasted Goose with the scholar's younger brother.

"Do you really like roasted meat that much?"

Chen Qiu looked at Fat Long somewhat helplessly; he always felt like Fat Long was eating roasted meat at all times.

"Not really."

Fat Long said with a smile, "It's just that the raising of the fire brings a sense of life, and it's also quite cold here, so roasting a fire can warm things up a bit."

Chen Qiu didn't say anything more and just felt quite comfortable at the moment. The resentful spirits on his body did indeed make him feel cold, and the fire did indeed make him more comfortable, although it still wasn't warm enough.

He took out three sticks of Evil Wood from his bosom and threw them over.

"Burn this tonight, let's indulge for a change."

"Feel the sensation of burning Spirit Stones."

Even though he didn't know exactly how many Spirit Stones this thing was worth, judging by the frenzy of the Evil Clan, it was definitely worth a lot. It was true extravagance, but what made him helpless was... many people from Fat Long were even more wasteful than him!

Those people were really using these things as firewood, truly a waste of heaven's gifts. If the Evil Clan knew that the people of Fat Long were using these things for warmth, they'd probably die of rage on the spot.

It must be said—

Evil Wood truly suits as firewood. The moment Evil Wood was added, the temperature around immediately rose quite a bit, instantly giving a feeling of warmth.

And Chen Qiu, whose nerves had been tense for a long time, now seeing that the Grade Ten Golden Core was about to be in place, couldn't help but relax his mind, lying drowsily on the rocking chair.

Just like that, with the icefield as his bed and the dark clouds as his blanket, he drowsily fell asleep.

...

Noticing that Chen Qiu had fallen asleep, Fat Long intentionally lowered his voice, turned his head toward the scholar brother beside him, and whispered, "I say, Brother, you're clearly a scholar brother, so why do you look much older than him?"

"That beard of yours is quite thick, isn't it?"

"And the difference in character between you and the scholar is too great. If it's not too presumptuous to ask... are you two really brothers?"

However, the scholar brother, as if he hadn't heard, sat cross-legged in place with a vacant look in his eyes, staring at the campfire in front of him, lost in thought.

After staring at the scholar brother expressionlessly and in silence for a long time, Fat Long suddenly burst out laughing.

"Actually, I know who you are."

"You're the State Preceptor, right?"

At those words, the scholar brother finally showed some emotion, turned his head to look at Fat Long, his eyes flashing with incredulity.

"Did I guess right?"

With excitement flickering in his eyes, Fat Long began to theorize, "The scholar actually has no brother at all. The reason he thinks he has a brother and feels extremely close to you is because you possess an entry with the ability to hypnotize or even alter memories?"

"And you are the State Preceptor!"

"You stay by the scholar's side to cultivate him into becoming Da Xia's number one Sword Cultivator, and to create opportunities for the scholar and Ji Renjian to meet, so as to allow the scholar to take advantage of Ji Renjian's Heavenly Dao Beauty effect to reach the realm of Human Sword Unity."

"But this plan failed, and you shifted your focus onto Ji Taiping. However, since the plan has failed, why do you still stay by the scholar's side?"

"Let me think..."

At this moment, Fat Long felt a flurry of thoughts whisking through his mind, and suddenly he caught one: "Unless... the scholar's downfall is also within your plan, you know that to gain the Sword Cultivator inheritance one must go through great ups and downs yet not fall into despair in the lows, maintaining one's initial resolve!"

"You're the mastermind behind everything!"

"That Ji Taiping is just a whetstone you prepared for the scholar; if things go as expected, the scholar will use Ji Taiping as his stepping stone when he reenters the Golden Core Cultivation!"

"You have been instilling certain notions in Ji Renjian, to make her realize one day that it was actually the scholar who saved her, and then the Heavenly Dao Beauty effect will also transfer to the scholar."

"You plan to use these two variables at a critical moment to push the scholar to become the undisputed top Sword Cultivator of Da Xia!"

"This has all been part of your plot, hasn't it?"

"The scholar has always thought that Ji Taiping was the State Preceptor's chosen top Sword Cultivator of Da Xia, but little does he know that the State Preceptor's true target has always been him, with Ji Taiping just being a whetstone prepared by the State Preceptor for the scholar!"

Fat Long's speech sped up progressively, feeling like he had uncovered the truth. He even subconsciously leaned a bit closer to Chen Qiu, his eyes glinting with shock and disbelief as he looked toward the scholar brother.

"You... are truly terrifying!"

"Does the scholar know that you are the State Preceptor?"

"..."

The scholar brother quietly shifted his gaze away from Fat Long without offering any rebuttal, simply continuing to sit in place, silently poking at the charcoals in the fire with a stick he held in his hand.

"That doesn't seem right either."

Fat Long suddenly shook his head again, "The logic isn't right. You and the scholar possess the Bloodline Entry; that can't be faked. You must definitely be real brothers."

"But still—"

HIs facial expression abruptly took on a bizarre look. "Even if you truly are the scholar's younger brother, that doesn't affect the fact that you're the State Preceptor!
