Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times
Chapter 775 258: "Do you think that Dragon Cub's dad would agree?"_2

How should I put it?

The young miss of the house truly admired Chen Qiu, so he secretly conspired with her to hatch a plan. After the constraints of the state land were lifted, under the guise of asking for directions, they would strike up a conversation with him, then inadvertently reveal the depth of their family wealth. Such Heavenly Prides often took a liking to associating with people of their ilk.

Like the young miss's previous sworn sister.

After striking up the conversation, the young miss could then pour out all the doubts that had been in her heart all along.

For instance... whether Chen Qiu had previously been in a Continent without Grade, and whether such a gradeless Continent truly existed.

And for another... why Chen Qiu had no rumors of romantic entanglements—is it that he wilted early in his prime?

But now it seems—

The situation is a bit dicey. He is in the early stage of Mahayana Cultivation, an absolutely top-tier combatant in this world. It is simply not possible for someone in this Continent to have developed Mahayana Cultivation unless they came from a superior Continent.

And he was exactly that.

Recently, he used his means to detect that Xuantian State had experienced another Heavenly Tribulation, with power even surpassing that of a First Grade Heavenly Tribulation. He was puzzled by this—could it be that aside from Chen Qiu, there was a second unparalleled Heavenly Pride in Xuantian State?

This level of Heavenly Tribulation, even in the Third Grade Continent or Qi Tian Continent, is something that very few have endured; it's one of the strongest tribulations an extraordinary Heavenly Pride with rich heritage faces when breaking through to Mahayana!

Not many have endured it, and even fewer are qualified to face such a tribulation.

He alone in the Vast Continent knew what it meant for someone at the peak of Void Refining Cultivation to endure a First Grade Heavenly Tribulation—it signified that at the peak of Void Refining Cultivation, one almost had the ability to withstand the full-force strike of a peak Unification-stage attack and not die.

It meant that one step into Unification would be unrivaled in Unification.

It also meant...

When breaking through from Unification to Mahayana, one would face an even higher Grade of Heavenly Tribulation, the kind that's sworn to strike you dead.

So when he discovered that there was a second person in Xuantian State who had endured such a grade of tribulation, he was shocked, but soon he ascertained that despite the tremendous power of the Heavenly Thunder shaking the entire state landmass, there wasn't a trace of the force of heaven and earth.

That meant the power didn't originate from the cosmos, but rather was wielded by a cultivator. While he did not know who it was, within the whole of Xuantian State, perhaps no one else but that one had the capability to employ such an Attack Method...

Although he found it hard to believe, it was quite clear—this was the ultimate answer!

A cultivator who had just entered the initial stage of Unification could unleash a method more powerful than the "First Grade Heavenly Tribulation"; this news was even more terrifying than being able to withstand a "First Grade Heavenly Tribulation," its deterrence incomparably greater.

A person's ability to take a beating does not greatly heighten their deterrent power, but if a person has astoundingly terrifying attack capabilities, their deterrence significantly escalates.

If one possesses both qualities, that is outright maxxed out!

"No worries."

The elder clad in a white robe embroidered with golden threads took a deep breath, forcibly subduing the shock in his heart. He had already reported this news to the Sect Master at the first opportunity. Just that... just that... although he knew he should not complain about the young miss's decision, he still couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"Miss, if you had given the great opportunity of the 'Heavenly Fate Land' slot to Chen Qiu at the time, if you could have pulled him to the Bai Family's side and built a good relationship, the rewards would definitely have been higher than giving it to that woman."

"How was I supposed to know?"

The Bai Family miss spoke a bit aggrievedly and softly, "When the decision about the 'Heavenly Fate Land' opportunity slot was made, Chen Qiu wasn't even in the Vast Continent yet, I had never even heard of his name."

"And Grandpa, stop talking about this, I already know I made a mistake, okay?"

"Alright, alright."

The elder affectionately stroked his young miss's head. But his mind was racing, thinking so far, only their Bai Family on the entire Third Grade Continent knew that such an extraordinary Heavenly Pride had emerged in the Vast Continent.

Others might also have their means to know about the goings-on of the lower Continents, but certainly not as detailed as his.

This was the disparity in information.

And how to use this information disparity to pull Chen Qiu to the Bai Family's side upon his arrival on the Third Grade Continent was the key among keys. For Chen Qiu, stepping into the Third Grade Continent meant a brand-new world with no familiar faces and forces. Whoever extended the hand of friendship first in such times would stand the better chance of being on the same side as Chen Qiu.

Although his role as a Guardian should not concern itself with this matter, nor could it save the young miss's life, his feelings for the Bai Family were deep-seated; this was an issue that could affect the Bai Family's power structure for thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years.

Such individuals, if they did not die, would undoubtedly rise arrogantly, like the morning sun in the pitch-black night, witnessed by all hidden creatures in the darkness, unabashedly and with much audacity.

Extending cordial relations is also an art.

Especially so when trying to please a naturally arrogant Heavenly Pride, a task much more difficult than pursuing a Fairy. Thinking of this reminded him of his own Family Head, who in the past was so beguiled by a Fairy to point of Divine Soul Inversion, almost becoming a marginal figure within the family.

In the end, the Fairy departed suddenly after giving birth to a daughter.

And it was since that time that the Family Head finally came to his senses, then rode upon chance after chance and rose from his insignificant beginnings!

Of course... this insignificance is relative to "Bai Family," as seen from the perspective of other high-ranking clan members.
