Chapter 316: "Duke Wei, is Qi Sect completely finished now?"

Chapter 316: "Duke Wei, is Qi Sect completely finished now?"

He hesitated for a moment, as this thing had been with him for a long time.

"Forget it."

Soon, Chen Qiu shook his head and abandoned the idea. Even if it wasn't just his imagination, and the stone did tremble, it might just be a monster's pet egg.

Not to mention monsters, even the Dragon Clan, the pinnacle of monsters, a young one would have absolutely no impact on his battle prowess.

It wasn't worth the effort.

Moreover, he would ruin a stone he had been using for a long time, a stone he had grown attached to, as he was a sentimental person.

He once again looked down at the Mock Heaven Sect.

At this moment, the Mock Heaven Sect was bustling with activity after a long time, with numerous disciples moving about within the sect. With the Cleansing Array, there was no dust, but the sect had been lacking in youthful energy, and today it was lively again.

There was nothing else to do at the moment.

Chen Qiu immediately looked towards his Dantian, where four draw chances were displayed. These four chances were synthesized from twelve Supreme Entry draw chances, but at this point, they held little significance for him. His initial plan was to use these four chances to see if there was an opportunity to leave the Cao Tian Palace, but who would have thought that drawing was impossible within the palace.

But it was open now, so he proceeded.

The next moment—

Chen Qiu left the small world alone and appeared on the wasteland of the Jiang Taiping Continent, beginning his first draw. Soon, a panel shrouded in clouds appeared above his Dantian.

"After synthesizing the three Supreme Entries from a three-choice opportunity, there is a 50% probability of obtaining three Supreme Entries of a higher realm, a 30% probability of obtaining a ten-choice Supreme Entry, a 15% probability of obtaining a 'Immortal Radiance', which can upgrade any Entry to its corresponding Rainbow Entry, if there is no corresponding Rainbow Entry, it will be upgraded to the highest grade of the Entry, a 4.9% probability of obtaining a three-choice Rainbow Entry, and a 0.1% chance of obtaining a three-choice Heavenly Dao Entry Set."

"Randomly selected: Immortal Radiance."

"Manifesting..."

As this panel appeared above Chen Qiu's Dantian, the tribulation clouds over the Jiang Taiping Continent had just dispersed, and the heavens and earth once again rumbled with thunder, gathering a large amount of heavenly energy.

However.

This gathering felt like a middle-aged man standing next to a latrine, desperately holding back the urge to urinate, even forcing out a bowel movement, yet not a drop of liquid appeared, leaving a sense of powerlessness.

The previous tribulation clouds had nearly depleted all the heavenly energy of the Jiang Taiping Continent.

This energy could naturally recover, but it needed some time, and it couldn't withstand such frequent use.

But.

Soon, the originally difficult-to-gather heavenly energy suddenly seemed to have some unknown assistance, and the gathering speed increased rapidly. It was clear that this energy was temporarily drawn from some other continent.

After several dozen breaths.

The commotion gradually subsided, and Chen Qiu now held a rhombic emblem in his hand, which was the Immortal Radiance.

Its function was simple and powerful, capable of upgrading any Entry to its corresponding Rainbow Entry, but only if that Entry had a corresponding Rainbow Entry.

"Not bad."

Chen Qiu smiled, nodding with satisfaction. He had drawn the 15% chance, and this Immortal Radiance was equivalent to a guaranteed Rainbow Entry, and one that he could choose freely.

Although it wasn't as good as the Heavenly Dao Entry Set.

But to be honest, with the probability of the Heavenly Dao Entry Set, it wasn't possible to have such good luck every time.

However, he hadn't decided which existing Entry he wanted to use the Immortal Radiance on. What if the Entry he chose didn't have a corresponding Rainbow Entry? That would be a complete waste.

If he wanted to play it safe, the best choices would be the Thousand Layer Spell and Double Layer Spell Entries, as there was a Rainbow Entry for the Thousand Layer Spell. By using the Immortal Radiance, he could obtain a Rainbow Entry for the Thousand Layer Spell.

The Fusion Kill Move was considered a magical attack and could be used with Multiple Layer Spells.

So this could significantly enhance his current battle prowess.

But...

He wanted to be greedy and get the Thousand Layer Spell from the Heavenly Dao Entry Set, which also had the effect of the Thousand Layer Spell. He only needed to collect the Entries from Double Layer Spell to Ten Layer Spell, and he had almost all of them, just a few short of the complete set.

He planned to obtain the Thousand Layer Spell from here, which would raise his upper limit a bit higher.

He didn't think further about which Entry to use the Immortal Radiance on, deciding to keep it for later. He didn't feel the need to use it right away, mainly because he knew too few effects of the Rainbow Entries, and he could decide later.

After that, Chen Qiu didn't think more about this matter and proceeded with the second draw.

Heavenly energy surged again.

The sound of heavenly thunder once again echoed through the sky, and a familiar panel shrouded in clouds appeared in Chen Qiu's Dantian.

"Randomly selected: Immortal Radiance."

"Manifesting..."

Another Immortal Radiance, great.

Chen Qiu nodded with satisfaction. If all else failed, he could take out an Immortal Radiance and sell it at an auction, which could fetch a considerable number of top-grade spirit stones if the venue was big enough.

Whether it was for cultivation or activating the Peak Heaven Immortal puppet for sword cultivation.

The latter would definitely enhance his battle prowess to a greater extent.

Just one Immortal Radiance was equivalent to a Rainbow Entry, and it was uncertain if the Tide Immortal Plane, a Fifth Rank Immortal Realm, could accommodate it, but the Fourth Rank Jiang Taiping Continent certainly couldn't.

After a hundred breaths, Chen Qiu began the third draw.

This time, there was no surge of heavenly energy, not even the sound of heavenly thunder. It was uneventful.

"Randomly selected: A three-choice opportunity for a Supreme Entry of a higher realm."

"Appearing..."

"Hmm."

Chen Qiu pursed his lips, not saying much. With a cultivation base one level higher, he was at the Human Immortal Realm, which was just average. This time, his luck wasn't great, as he drew the worst option.

"Please choose one of the following three random entries within a hundred breaths."

1:

"Entry Name: Scholar (Supreme Grade).

"Entry Level: Red.

"Entry Effect: The words you write can deal damage or provide defense. As a scholar, you will be unable to use any other crude means of attack.

"Supreme Effect: The more people who enjoy the stories you write, the stronger the effect of your written words will be."

2:

"Entry Name: Artifact Master (Supreme Grade).

"Entry Level: Red.

"Entry Effect: Each artifact in your possession will unleash ten times its original power, and you can only use artifacts as your means of attack.

"Supreme Effect: Every artifact that falls into your hands will instantly resonate with you as if it were your fated treasure."

3:

"Entry Name: Solo Stealth (Supreme Grade).

"Entry Level: Purple.

"Entry Effect: When you stand still, you enter an absolute stealth state and cannot be detected by any means, but once you move, others will subconsciously pay more attention to you.

"Supreme Effect: While in stealth, your pain tolerance and defense will significantly increase."

"Hmm."

Chen Qiu glanced at these three entries, furrowing his brows in thought without speaking. None of these entries were particularly suitable for him, although they were all high-level, with two of them being red. The issue was that they didn't fit his needs.

The first one wasn't suitable for a storyteller.

The second one wasn't a good fit either; it would be more suitable for the Qi Family's Second Young Master, whom he met in the Vast Continent. Chen Qiu remembered that this person had an entry that allowed him to possess many artifacts and enhance their power.

Only the third entry could be somewhat useful, but it had a significant drawback; it would draw more attention when he moved.

The next moment—

He spent 100,000 merit points to activate the 'Fortune Beckons' entry, gaining an additional chance to re-roll. Soon, the first entry was replaced.

"Entry Name: Son of Earth (Supreme Grade).

"Entry Level: Red.

"Entry Effect: When you stand firmly on the ground, your physical strength, spirit energy recovery rate, and spell power will all significantly increase. Your movement speed will also double.

"Supreme Effect: Your defense will also double."

A pretty good combat entry, suitable not only for body cultivators but also for other cultivators like spellcasters, pill cultivators, and sword cultivators. It's a universal entry without any negative effects, and as long as you're on the ground, your combat power will be enhanced in multiple ways.

Not bad.

But it still wasn't a perfect fit for him.

It wasn't that it was unsuitable; he could use it if given the chance. If it were offered to him for free, he would naturally like it, but it wasn't a perfect match.

Just then—

Chen Qiu suddenly looked at the purple entry, 'Solo Stealth,' and remembered something. In those daily multicolored entry jade slips, there was a multicolored entry with an absolute stealth effect.

The only difference was in their names.

The unique similarity was that both entries had the attribute of absolute stealth in their effects. If this multicolored entry was the final entry of the purple entry, 'Solo Stealth,' then by choosing this entry and activating the Immortal Radiance, he could obtain a multicolored entry.

A multicolored entry with an absolute stealth effect was quite appealing to him.

It was a bit of a gamble.

If he guessed wrong, it would be a waste, directly losing an Immortal Radiance.

However, after a brief hesitation, Chen Qiu firmly chose the 'Solo Stealth' entry. After all, the other three entries were of little use to him, so he decided to take a chance.

A single-player game turned into a multiplayer one.

Soon, the name of the 'Solo Stealth' entry slowly appeared on the inner wall of his Dantian, and at that moment, he activated an Immortal Radiance.

The next moment—

These four words quickly blurred and were replaced by a brand-new entry name on the inner wall of his Dantian.

"Entry Name: Single Leaf Veil (Supreme Grade).

"Entry Level: Multicolored.

"Entry Effect: You can enter an absolute stealth state at any time, and no detection means can sense you.

"Supreme Effect: Your movement speed will significantly increase while in stealth."

Success!!!

A flash of excitement crossed Chen Qiu's eyes, and he smiled with satisfaction. It worked! He had actually succeeded; he had obtained a multicolored entry with an absolute stealth effect. He had only tried it on a whim and hadn't held much hope.

To his surprise, it had actually worked.

Moreover, he had discovered a hidden rule.

If the entry you activate with the Immortal Radiance is a Supreme Entry, then when it evolves into a Multicolored Entry, it will also become a Supreme Multicolored Entry. As a result, he not only obtained a multicolored entry but also a Supreme Multicolored Entry! This was his fourth multicolored entry.

The previous three were Ascend High, Ascend High Supreme Edition, and Void Targeting.

Pretty good.

He was satisfied with these three draws. For the last draw, he decided to keep it for now, as his luck seemed to be running out. He would accumulate some luck over time and try again, hoping for another Immortal Radiance or a Multicolored Entry three-choice option, which would be perfect.

After completing all this, Chen Qiu left the Drunken Life, Dream Death Secret Realm alone and stood in the wilderness of the Jiang Taiping Continent, looking up at the sky.

The next moment!

He disappeared into thin air and reappeared in the sky above a city.

This city's spiritual energy was clearly more concentrated than that of the Jiang Taiping Continent. If one were to scan it with their divine sense, they would discover that this city was home to many powerful cultivators, and some even possessed terrifyingly powerful abilities.

This place was the Fifth Rank Immortal Realm, the Tide Immortal Plane!

Yes, Chen Qiu, under the title of Heavenly King, had arrived at the Immortal Realm.

".

Suspended high in the sky, Chen Qiu looked down at the city below. Not a single person noticed him, and no one looked up at him. He had already activated the Single Leaf Veil Codex Entry, and at this moment, he was in a state of Absolute Concealment.

This Codex Entry did not specify that once one's cultivation surpassed a certain realm, their whereabouts would be exposed.

Generally speaking, all such effects could be easily seen through once one's cultivation reached a certain level. However, this Codex Entry did not state this, so could he assume that no matter how high his cultivation was, he would not be exposed?

This was something he needed to test.

However, he already knew that this Codex Entry had one drawback: it could only make himself invisible, and not his followers or puppets.

The city below was called "Beauty City."

According to the information he obtained from Badan, the House of Wei was located nearby. He planned to infiltrate it alone first.

After thousands of breaths, Chen Qiu arrived at a courtyard nestled in the mountains. The words "House of Wei" were carved on the plaque above the courtyard's gate, and several people were patrolling and guarding the entrance.

Upon entering, he discovered that the House of Wei was not very populated and seemed somewhat shabby.

".

Chen Qiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he surveyed the House of Wei. The protective grand formation of the House of Wei was not activated, presumably to save on spirit stones, and only the most basic warning array was in place. Even inside the House of Wei, there was no gathering spirit formation activated.

He didn't see any valuable items either, giving the place a very shabby appearance.

Under these circumstances, the House of Wei didn't seem like it could possess 1.7 billion spirit stones.

However, he soon understood the reason. After all, 1.7 billion spirit stones were not a small amount, and it was clear that the House of Wei might be hesitant to spend them, fearing that the surrounding powers would find out about their sudden wealth and bring disaster upon them.

Thinking about it this way, it made sense.

He continued on his way to the area with the densest spiritual energy in the House of Wei, which should be where the Wei King resided. It was a grand hall, and inside, there was a huge hot spring. At that moment, a woman wrapped in a bathrobe was lying on a chair, listening to a report from her subordinate.

"Wei King, now..."

The servant referred to this woman as the Wei King? Chen Qiu no longer bothered to hide himself, and as the two of them looked at him in shock, he sat down in another rocking chair and sighed. "So, you're the Wei King, huh? Have your father come out. He took something from me, and I need him to return it."

"You..."

The woman standing beside him, wearing armor, was filled with terror. She was startled by the sudden appearance of this man, but soon realized that his cultivation was only at the Tribulation Crossing stage!

Not even an Immortal Human!

She was so angry that she shouted in a fit of embarrassment, "How dare a lowly person like you speak so arrogantly here!"

The next moment—

As three Celestial Immortals at the peak of their cultivation revealed themselves without restraint from Chen Qiu's puppets, the armored woman quickly sheathed her sword and stood quietly behind her master, watching and listening without saying a word.

She was only at the initial stage of Earth Immortal cultivation.

Facing the puppets at the peak of Celestial Immortal cultivation, she had no chance of winning. These three puppets could slaughter the House of Wei with ease.

The only thing she didn't understand was why a boy at the Tribulation Crossing stage could possess three puppets of this level? How powerful was the force behind him!

It must be incredibly powerful!

"Hmm."

Chen Qiu leaned back in his rocking chair and glanced at the two weak women in front of him, speaking casually, "Where is the previous master of the House of Wei? He owes me something, and he hasn't returned it yet."

"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Chen Qiu."

"Out of respect for Badan, I didn't take immediate action. But if that thing isn't returned to me, then it's a different matter."

"This..."

A hint of horror flashed in the Wei King's eyes, and her body trembled as she looked at the young man before her in shock. She hadn't expected that the man before her was the current Patriarch of the Mock Heaven Sect, the senior who had saved Badan from his troubles, Chen Qiu!

Badan had said that Chen Qiu would come to find her personally.

And he really did come!

Moreover, he came so quickly, and it didn't seem like he came with good intentions.

She didn't know what her father owed Chen Qiu! But soon, she clenched her teeth and said, "Reporting to Senior, my father has been dead for hundreds of years. I don't know what my father owed you, but no matter what it is, I, as the younger generation, am willing to repay it on my father's behalf. It might just take some time."

"Hmm?"

Chen Qiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he looked the Wei King up and down. She was wrapped in a bathrobe, and he asked, "Your father has been dead for hundreds of years? Was your father a cripple?"

"Huh? No."

"Are you a cripple?"

"No."

"That..." Just then, the Wei King suddenly thought of something and hesitated, "Senior, can you be more specific about what my father owed you?"

Chen Qiu's expression remained calm as he said softly, "It's nothing much. He stole 1.7 billion spirit stones from me."

"It must be him!"

As soon as he finished speaking—

The Wei King, her emotions stirred, exclaimed excitedly, "Senior, it must be him! When you mentioned a cripple earlier, I felt that something was amiss. At this level of cultivation, there are basically no cripples. Even if one's body is disabled, they can still regenerate their limbs."

"If he's a cripple, it's definitely a side effect of a Codex Entry or some special means."

"I've lived in the Tide Immortal Realm for so long, and I've only seen one cripple, and that's the Patriarch of Qi Zong. That damn cripple, and most importantly, starting seven or eight years ago, Qi Zong suddenly seemed to become very wealthy, spending money extravagantly."

"But according to what I know about that damn cripple, his sect is simply not capable of supporting such lavish spending!"

"I'm an arch-enemy with that damn cripple. Elder, do you think it's possible that he stole your Spirit Stones and then reported my name to frame me?"

". "

Chen Qiu fell silent in deep thought. It made sense; it was indeed unlikely for someone to reveal their name when committing a misdeed.

Moreover, the timeline matched perfectly.

This batch of Spirit Stones was taken from him right after he entered the Secret Realm seven or eight years ago. The timeline aligned perfectly, so it could be confirmed that Qi Zong was behind it.

As for Qi Zong...

"Send me the exact coordinates of Qi Zong."

"Elder, it's all in this Jade Slip."

"Mm."

Chen Qiu took the Jade Slip and immediately vanished from his original spot.

After Chen Qiu left, Duke Wei finally heaved a sigh of relief, drenched in sweat. He slumped heavily against the back of his chair, his eyes still filled with lingering fear. But soon, he broke into a wide grin, muttering in a dazed tone, "You damn cripple, you've finally met your end."

She now understood why the damn cripple suddenly became so wealthy—he had stolen the Elder's money.

He was quite bold to steal.

And he didn't steal a small amount; it was a staggering 1.7 billion Spirit Stones. The number was so frightening that even she was startled. She had already thought that Qi Zong's expenses over the years were quite high, but compared to this amount of Spirit Stones, it was clear that Qi Zong hadn't dared to spend them. They must have been saving them, fearing that extravagant spending would attract the attention of powerful enemies.

"Duke Wei, is Qi Zong completely finished now?"

The subordinate standing nearby, clad in armor, spoke with a hint of schadenfreude. It was obvious that Chen Qiu was the young master of some influential family. He had three Celestial Immortal Peak Sword Cultivator Puppets with him, each at the peak of their cultivation. He could walk sideways through the entire Immortal Realm; who could possibly defeat him?

As for Qi Zong, it was even more impossible! If Qi Zong could defeat three Celestial Immortals, they wouldn't have kept coveting the House of Wei, wanting to annex it.

"Of course, they're completely finished."

Duke Wei's eyes sparkled with triumph. He took a deep breath and immediately issued an order, "Pass down the command. Gather all the combat forces of the House of Wei, prepare to join the battle. Today is the best opportunity to completely swallow Qi Zong!"

"Yes!"

"This should be the place."

At that moment, Chen Qiu, holding a Jade Slip, arrived above a sect, swaying slightly. He then strode into the sect as if he owned the place, and not a single person paid him any attention, let alone approached to check.

The Rainbow Entry, "Single Leaf Veil," didn't enhance combat power, but it brought genuine good luck in certain situations, especially when infiltrating.

He believed that with some practice and a suitable Codex Entry for stealthy assassinations, he could become a qualified assassin, leaving no trace.

As usual, he headed towards the area with the densest spiritual energy, not bothering to distinguish between main and subsidiary halls. Wherever the spiritual energy was most concentrated, that was where the master resided.

After several thousand breaths.

In a cave, he found a middle-aged man sitting in a Spirit Gathering Array, his legs clearly afflicted with a disability. Chen Qiu scanned the surrounding spiritual energy and couldn't help but smile.

Three Celestial Immortal Peak Sword Cultivator Puppets, each with the power of a Celestial Immortal, were released by Chen Qiu, forcibly interrupting the middle-aged man's seclusion.

They forcibly abducted him and threw him into Chen Qiu's small world.

"Xiong Gao, take care of it."

"Understood!"

Xiong Gao, already waiting with restraints, looked at the cripple who had been thrown in, bound and helpless, and burst into laughter.

A hundred breaths later.

The cripple confessed.

"This young master!"

The Patriarch of Qi Zong, covered in wounds, knelt before Chen Qiu, his voice trembling with regret and tears, "Elder, I truly didn't know he was your man. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to touch him!"

"It's mainly because..."

"I just wanted to play with him, haggle with him, but I didn't expect him to actually take out 1.7 billion Spirit Stones. We don't have the fortune of a race, his cultivation is not high, he has just broken through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, and he clearly doesn't know any battle techniques. He's the kind with cultivation but no combat power."

"In this situation, we couldn't just ignore it!"

"To be blunt, if you encountered such a situation, would you let the person go? It's impossible!"

"And after so many years, there are still over 1.6 billion Spirit Stones left. I haven't dared to spend them. I was afraid that if I spent too lavishly, it would attract the attention of powerful cultivators, and our sect's rise would be nipped in the bud!"

"For so many years, I've only secretly spent a few tens of millions of Spirit Stones!"

"I didn't dare to spend the rest; they're all stored in my Storage Ring."

"I can return all these Spirit Stones to you, Elder. Please spare my life."

". "

Fat Dragon, standing by the side, clicked his tongue in amazement, "Why sit on a mountain of gold and not use it? You could have used those 1.7 billion Spirit Stones to cultivate and rapidly increase your cultivation."

The Patriarch of Qi Zong looked at Fat Dragon with despair, "Even when eating, there's a limit to how much the stomach can hold, let alone cultivation. Who can absorb so much spiritual energy at once?"

"Here you go."

Chen Qiu turned to the young man beside him, "Do you want to personally take revenge? I'll leave this person to you. It's up to you whether to kill or release him."
