Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

The atmosphere became lively, meeting old friends in a foreign land was indeed a rather joyful occasion. With Fat Long making jokes on the side, the mood remained fairly festive.

Zhao Dezhu and Zhao Yishi, these old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, also seemed to be enjoying their conversation immensely.

Having not seen each other for a long time, they were naturally happy, as their relationship back in the days in Da Xia Country was also very close.

Meanwhile, Chen Qiu sat silently beside the bonfire, lost in thought, enveloped by a large shadow. The bonfire, stoked by Zhao Yishi, was certainly not small; the flames soared several tens of feet high. The shadows cast by Zhao Yishi seated beside it completely shrouded him.

"Immortal Cancer".

It was the second time he had heard this term; the first time was from the mouth of the Bai Family Patriarch, when he learned that the patriarch's daughter suffered from this divine illness. Now he knew that Zhao Yishi's grandfather also had this divine illness.

An illness that only immortals could contract.

How then had the Bai Family Patriarch's daughter contracted it?

Was there something wrong with the woman, or did the disease have a problem, with a very small probability of descending upon those who were not immortals?

From their conversation, he also learned that Zhao Yishi had been brought out a few months ago and had been in Da Xia Country before that. A few months ago, while he was sleeping in the back mountains, a powerful suction suddenly enveloped him, and afterward, he appeared in the Fourth Grade Continent.

That suction was employed by Zhao Yishi's grandfather.

It was said that Zhao Yishi's grandfather, having no family or descendants, took out all of his possessions including his Lifebound Spirit Treasure before leaving the Immortal Realm. He exchanged them for a "Bloodline Guide", a Heavenly Dao Treasure from the Immortal Realm, incredibly expensive.

For most races, it was useless, except for those with very few people, like the Barbarian Tribe and the Dragon Clan.

Its effect was.

Upon lighting this incense, it would search hundreds of Grade Continents to find those lost from their race and forcibly draw them to one's side. Some races with sparse populations in the Immortal Realm often used this method to increase their numbers.

But it could only draw one person at a time, so generally, those with the highest bloodline grade and talents were prioritized.

Zhao Yishi's grandfather used this method to bring Zhao Yishi out of the Heavenly Prison, hoping to pass on his heritage before his death so that his life wouldn't be entirely in vain.

"This person, huh."

Zhao Yishi's grandfather sat by the bonfire, gazing distantly into the horizon with a faraway look, murmuring, "After I got 'Immortal Cancer', I understood many things. I used to dream of fame, to have everyone know the name of the Immortal King. But when I got sick and my realm fell, I found that suddenly no one talked about my name."

"It's only been a few years, yet it seems like I was forgotten in an instant. The occasional mention of me was as the Immortal King with bad luck."

"I later thought about whether there was a way to make my name be remembered forever. And that is through inheritance."

"There was a time when I scoffed at the idea of inheritance, but now, as death seems certain, I suddenly want to pass on all my life's learnings to Zhao Yishi. Perhaps one day, if Zhao Yishi could go to the Immortal Realm, he might be able to revive the name of the Immortal King."

"Oh."

Sitting on the side, Zhao Yishi looked quite earnest as he nodded his head, but only Chen Qiu and Zhao Dezhu knew that Zhao Yishi's grandfather's wish was probably mostly unachievable, it seemed Zhao Yishi's grandfather might not be aware of Zhao Yishi's serious aversion to combat.

Such a person is unlikely to fight for fame, no matter the strength.

According to Zhao Yishi's philosophy, if one is truly powerful, with no enemies in the world, then why fight?

If one isn't that powerful, with dangers everywhere, then why fight?

In short, there is no reason to fight at all.

"Senior."

Chen Qiu suddenly thought of something and softly asked, "You just mentioned the Heavenly Prison?"

"Mhmm."

Zhao Yishi's grandfather nodded with a smile and said, "After I used the 'Bloodline Guide', I carefully chose from the left-behind members of the Barbarian Tribe for half a day before finally picking Zhao Yishi."

"One, because he's an orphan, having no family, it's easier to adopt him."

"Two, because his bloodline is pure, a true member of the Barbarian Tribe."

"Three, and most importantly, he was the only one confined to the Heavenly Prison, which intrigued me."

"The Heavenly Prison is an extremely special place among all the Grade Continents. As everyone knows, the First Grade Continent is the lowest of all grade continents, and the Heavenly Prison is even lower than the First Grade Continent, belonging to that which is attached to a First Grade Continent."

"Those who are imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison are usually the most heinous criminals, such as those who have destroyed the Heavenly Dao, or once..."

"Wait, what?"

Sitting on the side, Fat Long looked somewhat confused and said, "Can the Heavenly Dao also be destroyed?"

"Of course, it can."

Zhao Yishi's grandfather shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "The Heavenly Dao is not invincible; why can't it be destroyed? The Heavenly Dao is not eternal; there are always Heavenly Daos being extinguished. When a continent collapses completely, it's the day that continent's Heavenly Dao perishes."

"Every continent has its own Heavenly Dao."
