Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

If this Divine Sense Attack were to truly strike into his Sea of Consciousness, it could almost instantaneously snatch away his life.

This was an overwhelming assault from a Golden Core Master against a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

No matter how many tricks a Foundation Establishment Cultivator had, a Divine Sense Attack could completely crush them. He wanted to escape into the small world but was tightly locked by the Golden Core Divine Sense. This prevented his Divine Sense from making any contact with the Storage Ring inside his body, rendering him unable to establish a connection with the Sect Leader's Chair or enter the small world.

It was almost certainly a mortal situation.

At this critical moment, Chen Qiu, lying on the temple roof, muttered, "That Memory Stone really does bring good luck..."

The next moment—

The Divine Sense Attack vanished in an instant from tens of miles away and suddenly pierced into his Sea of Consciousness like a dragon diving into a swamp, nearly instantly shredding his Sea of Consciousness to pieces, but just as it was about to completely destroy his Sea of Consciousness.

The phrase "life and death hanging by a thread" carved on Chen Qiu's Tao Foundation suddenly began to emit bursts of bright light.

An indescribable power caused the Divine Sense Attack to gradually weaken and then disappear within the Sea of Consciousness.

"Boom!"

Chen Qiu, although still lying motionless in the same spot on the temple roof, basking in the sun, now started bleeding from all seven orifices, a sign that his Sea of Consciousness had been completely destroyed.

This Divine Sense Attack was focused solely on Chen Qiu; Fat Long and the scholar below the temple, among others, were completely unharmed.

"Brother Qiu!"

Fat Long, lying next to him, looked anxiously at Chen Qiu, whose body was bleeding from the seven orifices, and held him in his arms, shouting urgently to the scholar who had already flown to the roof and the fast approaching Golden Core Great Power, "Scholar, run!"

"Run? Where to run!"

The voice of the Master of Poison Sect, which had been at the horizon just moments before, had now landed on the temple roof. With a powerful surge of Spiritual Energy, he swung his hand and sent the scholar, who had just shot out a Qingfeng from his sleeve, flying to the side.

Only then did he look toward Chen Qiu, who lay in Fat Long's arms bleeding from the orifices, eyes tightly shut, evidently half-dead.

He did not deliver another blow immediately.

Instead, he threw his head back and laughed heartily, feeling extremely satisfied inside.

"Chen Qiu, oh Chen Qiu."

"You should never have provoked my Poison Sect."

"You could have become a generation's Heavenly Pride, alas, alas, because you provoked my Poison Sect today, you shall fall here, even if you are a Heavenly Pride, the chasm between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core is simply insurmountable!"

"Even if I were standing in front of you completely defenseless, without Protective Spirit Qi, just by the strength of my physical body, you also..."

His words were suddenly cut off.

"Gulp."

The Master of Poison Sect, standing on the temple roof, suddenly froze in place, eyes filled with disbelief as he looked toward Chen Qiu and the others, continuously spitting out mouthfuls of blood, while overhead, unknown to him, limitless thunderclouds had silently gathered.

A bout of thunder comparable to Heavenly Punishment struck down from the clouds, hitting the Master of Poison Sect right on the head in the middle of his boasting.

The dying Master of Poison Sect, raising his hand with eyes full of resentment and unwillingness, looked toward Fat Long and others, intending to use a Divine Sense Attack to take them down with him. However, the Thunder Summoning Technique unleashed by a peak Golden Core Cultivation gave him no chance.

The next instant—

The body of the Master of Poison Sect was blown to pieces, turning into dust that the wind blew away, disappearing from the world.

"Whoosh!"

A Golden Core burst forth from the powder and aimed to shoot into the distance, but the preparative scholar's fingers trembled lightly, and the three-foot green blade that had been slapped away shot out with even greater speed, catching up to the Golden Core, skewering it on its tip, and bringing it back.

"Phew..."

At this moment, Chen Qiu, who was in Fat Long's arms, slowly opened his eyes, somewhat struggling to push Fat Long away. He sat atop the temple's roof, swept a glance at the bloody mist in the sky, pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and turned his head towards the scholar and others, his voice hoarse.

"Villains often die from talking too much, that's a lesson from the past. Nonsense should be spouted after killing, not before."

"Damn, ambushing."

He had always been the one ambushing Golden Cores; this was the first time a Golden Core had ambushed him, especially a fourth-layer Golden Core Great Power ambushing him with full force.

For a Golden Core against a Foundation Establishment, it was a total crush, especially when it was a full-force ambush. The Divine Sense Attack of the fourth-layer Golden Core penetrated his Sea of Consciousness in an instant, nearly destroying all his Divine Sense. If it weren't for his last-moment choice of the entry "Life or Death,"

he would probably have died on the spot.

This time, he could only say he was lucky.

If it wasn't for him crushing the "three choices" entry at this time, and coincidentally getting "Life or Death," which saved his life, it would be hard to say how things would've turned out.

Chen Qiu struggled to stand up and stretch his limbs. His body wasn't injured externally but felt as if someone had stuffed a meat grinder inside his head, causing an almost explosive headache.

The pain was so severe that he even experienced some blurring of vision.

Spiritual Energy formed filaments that emerged from his body, rolled up the only remaining Storage Ring of the Master of Poison Sect from the bloody mist in mid-air, and through the broken hole in the temple's roof, looked down towards the Shopkeeper pretending to be dead in the temple's corner. He sent down the Storage Ring with Spiritual Energy, his voice hoarse.

"Shopkeeper, there's another Storage Ring here; trouble you to take care of it. Hard work."

While the Master of Poison Sect was grandly pontificating, he had secretly triggered the "Life or Death" entry. The Thunder Summoning Technique released by the Peak Golden Core Cultivation in a full-force blow killed the Master of Poison Sect on the spot, completely disintegrating his robe and Storage Ring, leaving only one Storage Ring intact.

Then he sat back down on the roof squarely.

His eyebrows twisted in pain as he continuously massaged his temples. Although the "Life or Death" entry had saved his life, his Sea of Consciousness felt almost completely destroyed, the pain piercing deep into his brain.

It was both itchy and painful.

He even felt like taking his sword, digging out his brains, and stomping them on the ground fiercely.

"Scholar."

Chen Qiu frowned and turned his head to look at the scholar, "How do you treat damage to the Sea of Consciousness?"

"Take medicine."

The scholar's voice was urgent as he replied, "Golden Core low-grade pill, 'Replenishing God Pill,' this kind of pill is specifically for repairing damage to Divine Sense. This kind of pill is generally not available in markets or auctions, but has to be directly sought from Alchemy sects."

"The nearest sect that can concoct this pill is called 'Star Battle Sect,' located at the farthest north of Xuzhou, past Fufeng City and Yun City, and just by the border of the Endless Desert."

"Hmm."

Chen Qiu nodded, feeling the bone-deep pain deep in his brain, and patted his head tiredly, "Will this thing leave any hidden injuries?"

"No."

The scholar shook his head, "As long as all the damage to Divine Sense is completely repaired, it won't leave any hidden injuries. However, during this time, Divine Sense shouldn't leave the body, but since Brother Qiu, you are now a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it's essentially like not being affected at all."

"But it will be painful."

"A pain that ordinary people can hardly bear."
