I am cultivating immortality in the chaotic world.

Chapter 273: A butcher knife is only useful for killing chickens.

Teacher Chen.

In the Qitian Continent, calling someone a teacher is a very respectful title, and its rank is even higher than that of a senior. Calling someone a senior means that this person is older than oneself, or has a cultivation level far higher than oneself.

But calling him a teacher means that I am like a student in front of him, I still have a lot to learn, and I admire him very much.

If others heard that the head of a top force in the Qitian Continent actually called a junior in the fusion stage "master", they would definitely be shocked. It was too incongruous. In fact, the title "Master Chen" that the head of the Bai Family called him was not very smooth. He had not used this title for many years. It was too distant. Since he became the head of the Bai Family, there were not many people in the Qitian Continent worthy of him calling him master.

"Ok?"

Chen Yu, who was about to leave, was suspended in the air. He glanced at the middle-aged man behind him wearing a white robe with gold thread embroidered on the cuffs and asked casually, "Is there anything I can do for you, fellow Taoist?"

Although he didn't know how the other party knew his given name and surname, he was not surprised by it. After all, his name appeared in the Heavenly Dao Edict from time to time, and his name had been heard in countless continents. In this case, it seemed normal for someone from a higher continent to know his name.

"Master Chen."

The Patriarch of the Bai family took a deep breath, and this "Master Chen" sounded much easier to say. He immediately rushed towards Chen Chu, and after staying in a safe position, he spoke faster: "I am the Patriarch of the Bai family, and this is what happened."

After speaking dozens of sentences, Chen Yu nodded, paused for a moment and then whispered, "I see, what you mean is that a guy from the fourth-grade continent felt that I had robbed him of his opportunity and was unhappy with me, so he activated the seven-color entry "Void Search" to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on me?"

This can really be considered a disaster from heaven.

Ling Seventeen.

He knew this person's name for the first time today. He didn't know this person's name at all before. Who knows when he snatched the Heavenly Edict from this person? Besides, you didn't choose the Heavenly Edict first in order to show off, and had to send the invitation first. Can you blame him for this?
just
Chen Lu frowned slightly and said nothing. This was a top force in the Fourth-Rank Continent. The strongest person in his family was a person who had reached the peak of the Tribulation Realm. This kind of person crushed him more than a little bit.

This means that if he provokes this force, he will most likely face endless pursuit from people of this level of cultivation. To be honest, he doesn't really want to provoke a force of this level in the short term. He just wants to practice peacefully until he slowly grows to the peak.

But sometimes, just because he doesn't want to provoke someone doesn't mean the other party is willing to develop a peaceful relationship with him.

The Patriarch of the Bai Family took another deep breath before he used his spiritual energy to wrap a photo stone in front of Chen Yu and said seriously, "Master Chen, this photo stone contains the true face of Ling Shiqi. This is also the sincerity of the Bai Family. Compared to Ling Shiqi, I think you can go further."

"The first-grade continent, the second-grade continent, and the third-grade continent are collectively referred to as the first-grade continent."

"The fourth-grade continent, fifth-grade continent, and sixth-grade continent are collectively referred to as the middle-grade continent."

"There are Heavenly Dao shackles between each continent, and the shackles between the first-grade continent and the middle-grade continent are even stronger. Ling Shiqi was able to freely go to the lower-level continents before, all thanks to his title of "Heavenly King". Now that he has lost this title, it is difficult for Ling Ge to break through the Heavenly Dao shackles and go to the lower-level continent to find Master Chen. However, when he finds out that Master Chen is still alive, he may launch a more fierce attack from a distance."

"Of course, this is a misunderstanding after all. If Master Chen wants to communicate with Ling Ge to clear up this misunderstanding, Bai can also be the intermediary. After all, the "Jiang Taiping Continent" is the upper continent of the Qitian Continent, and it is also the place where you, Master Chen, will go in the future."

"If you make enemies with the top forces on this continent in advance, you will inevitably be frustrated when you go to the Jiang Taiping Continent in the future."

"Ah."

Chen Lu nodded slightly, playing with the photo stone in his hand. This matter did sound troublesome, but it was actually very simple to deal with. He didn't want to care about what the consequences would be, nor did he want to care how powerful the top forces in the Fourth-Rank Continent were. He only knew that someone slapped him inexplicably.

What if he doesn't return the slap?

It is difficult to be at peace with the Tao.

next moment--

The photo stone in his hand was suddenly crushed, and then a violent storm arose between heaven and earth. Dark clouds once again instantly covered the entire world, and bursts of thunder rang out again.

Next!

These lightning bolts flashed across the sky and earth carrying tremendous deterrence, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Chen Lu looked at the horizon calmly with a slight smile on his face. He could vaguely feel that his attacks were traveling through space and quickly heading towards an unknown place.

Is this how high-level monks fight?
The two of them are separated by billions of miles, but they can still fight with each other. You can't see the people, but you can see their methods. It's quite interesting and he likes it very much.

He originally wanted to throw another one, but unfortunately, he found that although this colorful entry of "Void Search" did not explicitly state it, it actually had a limitation, which was that he could only launch a long-range attack regardless of distance against one person once a day.

Whatever.

If this guy named Ling Shiqi can survive this attack, he will attack again tomorrow. Anyway, he has a lot of time and nothing to do, so he doesn't mind attacking on time every day.

The head of the Bai family felt the power of the heaven and earth and the violent storm in front of him. He froze in place, not knowing what to say. Only by feeling this power up close could one feel the fear that it brought even more terribly.

This. How is this possible!
Indeed, he felt that Chen Yu's cultivation level was not at the initial stage of fusion, but at the fourth stage of fusion. This cultivation speed was simply unheard of, but under such a terrifying killing method, this cultivation speed was already insignificant.

He has reached the late Mahayana stage!

He is almost the strongest existence in the Qitian Continent, but he is almost certain of one thing, that is, he cannot block this attack at all and can only escape. If he forcibly takes this attack, he will die.

this.
This is totally unreasonable. He has reached the late Mahayana stage, which is countless small realms higher than Chen Lu.

"."

Chen Lu glanced at the patriarch of the Bai family without saying anything. When the other party approached, he immediately consumed 10 merit points to check the entries on his body. How to say it, almost most of the entries are some entries that cause physical mutations.

Although this kind of entry can enhance combat power a lot, it is not the right way. It may improve quickly when the cultivation level is low, but when the cultivation level is a little higher, this kind of entry will bring little bonus to combat power.

In other words, although he could clearly sense that this person's cultivation was far higher than his own, the other party's item combination was too poor, resulting in his overall strength being much worse. This was not just the case with the head of the Bai family.

But the entire Qitian Continent is like this. The combat effectiveness of most cultivators in the entire Qitian Continent is far lower than that of normal continents. This is a polluted continent and also an abnormal continent.

"Thanks, see you later."

Chen Lu waved his hand, and after thanking the Patriarch of the Bai family for sending him the photo stone, he took Fei Long and others and left to return to the vast continent. As for whether Ling Shiqi was dead or not, he couldn't feel it now, but he would be able to feel it tomorrow.

If he can launch a void search on him tomorrow, then he is not dead, otherwise he is already dead.

It's a pity that I don't know the true faces and names of the people around Ling Shiqi, otherwise I would have used the same void search to attack the people around Ling Shiqi, and six or seven ninety-second-grade combined killing moves to cover and attack them. Even if Ling Shiqi couldn't be killed, he would have been seriously injured.

soon--

The group had returned to Xuantianzhou and settled down in the Heavenly Palace. They also released all the disciples of Chaotian Sect from the small world. Standing at the gate of the Heavenly Palace, Feilong stretched and said thoughtfully, "Jiang Taiping Continent? Jiang Taiping sounds like a person's name. Is this continent named after a person?"

"Eh."

The scholar standing nearby said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, I am also a little curious. Who gave these continents their names? Haohan Continent, Pingxi Continent, Xuantian Continent, Qitian Continent. Who gave these names? There is no origin passed down. It seems that they have been called this way since ancient times."

"do not know."

Fei Long shook his head, and then he was unwilling to think about it: "Forget it, don't think about it. There are so many things I can't figure out. There is no point in thinking about these things."

at this time--

Xiong Gao suddenly came running over with a panicked look on his face, and said in a hurried tone: "Master, one of your maids died suddenly."

"Ok?"

Chen Yu frowned slightly: "Which maid died? Someone secretly murdered her? Or was it a natural disaster or man-made disaster? Let's go and take a look."

soon.

Led by Xiong Gao, the group came to the back of the Heavenly Palace, where there were several exquisite small houses that were built at some unknown time. They were specially used as a place for Chen Lu's maids to wash and sleep. At this time, Chen Lu's seven maids were running back and forth in panic.

In front of a bed, Chen Lu saw a woman lying on the bed. She looked quite pretty, but she was no longer breathing, her soul was gone, she was deader than dead, and her face looked extremely pale.

Divine consciousness enveloped the past.

There wasn't a single wound on his body, nor any sign of bleeding, and there was no violent struggle before his death. His sea of ​​consciousness had not been invaded. It was as if he had been sleeping and suddenly died while sleeping.

The death was inexplicable.

He had a general impression of this woman. She was a direct disciple of the Wanshou Sect. He didn't know when she became his maid, and he himself didn't even know it.

"that."

Xiong Gao, who was standing nearby, explained carefully, "At the last celebration banquet, I noticed that you looked at this woman a little too much, wondering..."

"Ah."

Chen Lu nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, and waved his hand to signal Xiong Gao and the others to leave the room. Then he drew a sword from his arms and cut off all the clothes of the woman's corpse.

A pale female body appeared on the bed.

In the places covered by the clothes, large patches of extremely dark runes emerged. They were somewhat similar to Buddhist texts, but different from them. They carried a hint of weird aura. He could not understand what these runes meant at all, and he found nothing when he used his spiritual sense to explore them.

But it is obvious that this rune is the cause of death of the Wanshou Sect's direct disciple.

In the woman's arms, there was a ginger cat. It was the same cat he had met at the celebration party. After all its hair had fallen off, large patches of pitch-black runes could be seen on the surface of its skin. It looked deader than dead.

He had seen countless kinds of death, but this was the first time he had encountered such a strange way of death.

He wanted to use the photo stone to record these runes, but he found that no matter what grade of photo stone, it would explode as soon as it came into contact with these runes. These photo stones simply could not withstand the existence of this level. He wanted to extract them, but found that he could only describe them roughly, like copying a cat, with only the shape but not the meaning.

After thinking for a long time.

He still frowned and carefully cut off a piece of fur with the black runes engraved on the belly of the orange cat next to him, preparing to ask if there was anyone who knew about it. He didn't even know whether he had killed the cat or not.

If it was homicide, who would kill a maid in such a way that even he couldn't understand?
If it was suicide, would a true disciple of a first-class continent really have such a secret?
After doing all this, he buried the maid and the orange cat together in the back mountain of Chaotian Sect. He also instructed the little wolf that the grave must not be dug up or eaten. Then he summoned Xiong Gao over and asked.

"Tell me the details of the process. When did this disciple from the Myriad Beast Sect discover the death?"

Xiong Gao nodded and said quickly, "When we left Xuantianzhou and went to Qitian Continent to travel, we took all the Chaotian Sect disciples, including the maids and the Tiangong. When we were in Qitian Continent, your seven maids also took this new maid with them to travel."

"According to my inquiries just now, everything is normal. The new maid had a lot of fun. She didn't complain about feeling uncomfortable or suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable. She was very normal and in a very good state."

"After that, when we were ready to return, we all returned to the small world and settled everyone near the Heavenly Palace. I took care of the whole thing. At this time, the new maid of the master was still normal, and there was nothing special about her. But not long after, a maid came to me and said that there was a black air coming from the room where the disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect slept. After I knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it, I pushed the door open to check, and then I saw that the girl was already bedridden and had no signs of life."

"understood."

Chen Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, which means that there was no sign from beginning to end, the person died suddenly. If there was any external stimulus, it was a trip to the Qitian Continent.

When he scanned the corpse of the disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect with his spiritual sense just now, he could clearly feel that the dark and rusty runes were radiating from the inside out, which meant that the possibility of homicide was almost zero, but that the disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was carrying a curse. This curse might not have any reaction at ordinary times, but under the stimulation of some external factors, such as going to the Qitian Continent, it would suddenly explode, leaving him dead without a burial place.

This speculation is not uncommon. The only thing that doesn't make sense is that the rune feels like it has a very high grade. Who would cast a curse of this grade on a true disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?

Is it worthy?

"There is no such thing as worthy or unworthy."

At the back mountain of Ling Pavilion in Jiang Taiping Continent, Ling Shiqi stood beside a spring, overlooking several small ants on the ground. With a calm expression, he took out a talisman of the incarnation grade from his arms and smashed it down. Along with the flying dust, these small ants naturally died long ago.

“Just like these ants, they would rather die than believe that someone would use a spirit-transforming talisman to attack them. After all, their lives are far less valuable than this spirit-transforming talisman.”

"But in fact, for me, the incarnation-level talisman has no value. As long as I like it, it's fine. Ants often think that those strong people will not use a butcher knife to kill a chicken, but in fact, what the strong people like to do most is to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken."

"Since I have taken action, I will naturally not show mercy. Since Chen Yu has snatched my opportunity, he must also be prepared to be my enemy. Isn't this the law of everything in this world?"

His friend standing by sighed and said, "Seventh Brother, this Chen Lu really deserves to die. It was obviously you who got this opportunity first, but he had to get it first. He is just a native of the second-grade continent. To bear your thunderous wrath, Seventh Brother, is far beyond the limit for this native."

"That's fine."

Ling Shiqi put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance and whispered, "A long time ago, there was an ancient strongman in the upper continent who said a famous saying, 'Those who can't kill me will make me stronger.' This sentence has inspired countless people to move forward in the face of setbacks."

"For me, it's the same. It's just a small setback. I don't take it seriously."

"Wait till this matter is over"

Before Ling Shiqi finished speaking, his friend suddenly interrupted him awkwardly, "Well, Brother Qi, I have to go home for dinner. I don't know why, but my grandfather suddenly urged me to go home for dinner immediately, as if there was some important banquet going on."

Ling Shiqi, who was describing his feelings, lost the desire to continue after being interrupted. He just waved his hand to signal his friend to leave while he continued to express his feelings for a while.

Not long after his friend left.

Endless black clouds enveloped the entire mountain behind Lingge. Wild winds and heavy rain roared, and thunder rumbled from the sky. Although it was night, it was as bright as day.

That night!
Everyone near Lingge realized what real daylight was, and witnessed the most spectacular thunderstorm they might encounter in their lifetime. How to describe this scene? Endless thunders carrying terrifying pressure cut through the sky and smashed towards the sky above Lingge.

Its intensity is even greater than that of a violent storm.

There is no rest, one wave after another comes.

If tickets could be sold for this scene as a spectacle, it would surely become the most cheered-for spectacle by the public and would be extremely entertaining.

"."

Ling Shiqi's good friend, who had just left Ling Pavilion not far away, felt the movement coming from the back mountain of Ling Pavilion behind him. His body froze in place, he turned his head and looked, his mouth slowly opened wide, and after a long while he stood there in disbelief for a long time without saying a word.

And his grandfather, who had been urging him to go home immediately, suddenly disappeared and stopped urging him.

Just sent a message.

"Are you still alive?"

Dry!
Why does it seem like my grandfather knows so many things?
Half a day later.

This good friend of Ling Shiqi is named "Taoli", an extremely rare surname. Although his family is not as powerful as Ling Ge's, it is also a prestigious force in the Fourth Rank Continent.

A tall young man with fair skin and red lips, who looks a bit feminine and very beautiful.

Men are generally rarely described as beautiful, but this boy looks very beautiful. It’s not that he dresses like a feminine on purpose, but he is born that way.

Half a day later.

He came to Lingge again, this time still invited. The atmosphere in the whole Lingge was extremely depressing, with white cloth and mourning couplets hung everywhere. Every member of the Lingge tribe had a white cloth tied on their head and their eyes were red.

Yes, the last time I was invited was a wedding, and this time it was a funeral.

"."

Taoli looked towards the entrance of Lingge, at the middle-aged man sitting at the entrance with an account book in front of him. He sighed lightly, then took out a storage bag from his pocket and handed it over. He hasn't established a stick yet, and now all his expenses are provided by his family. Who can afford to collect money for such frequent services?

And it is highly likely that this money will be difficult to get back.

You held a wedding banquet the day before and a funeral banquet the next day. Even after all this, you still didn't forget to collect gifts. It's hard to believe that your Lingge can be the top force in Jiang Taiping Continent. Who can compare to you?

The guests who came were basically the same as the guests from the previous day, but today everyone changed into black robes and pinned large white flowers on their chests. In the courtyard of Lingge, a group of guests were holding white flowers and came forward one by one to see Ling Shiqi off for the last time.

The tombstone was now piled with white flowers.

"farewell."

Ling Shiqi's father said hoarsely with a gloomy face and red eyes, "Don't worry, son. Ling Ge will definitely mobilize the whole clan to hunt him down to the ends of the earth!"

"It's all your fault, father. I shouldn't have given you this suggestion at the time."

Afterwards, as Ling Shiqi's father stepped aside, other guests came forward one after another to bid Ling Shiqi a final farewell.

"Seventh Brother."

Taoli took a step forward with Baihua in her hand and stood in front of Ling Shiqi's tombstone with a sigh: "Yesterday, we two brothers were still talking about the future together, how come one of us is underground and the other is underground today?"

"In fact, every time you say that, I want to refute you."

"That is, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but what if it can kill you?"

"It seems there is no need to say this now. You are already lying here."

"Yesterday you were holding the Heavenly Dao Item Set, and you were so high-spirited that you said you would become the strongest genius in all the continents of all levels. But today you suddenly lay in the ground without making a sound. To be honest, the contrast is actually quite big. How should I put it? It makes me feel like you died so easily."

"With your cultivation level, you can't withstand Chen Yu's full-strength attack?"

After saying that, he also placed the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone and then stepped aside.

And in the crowd.

A guest with a calm expression was secretly pointing the photo stone at all the guests present and recording their faces one by one. This person was none other than the patriarch of the Bai family.

He was also invited to attend Ling Shiqi's funeral.

This was the happiest time he had ever received an invitation from Ling Ge.

With this perfect start, he now can't wait to record the true faces of everyone present. No matter if it can be used now or not, it will come in handy in the future.

Of course, he did not dare to record those with too high cultivation levels, such as the Pavilion Master of Ling Pavilion, as this small action would alarm the other party.

soon--

It was also his turn to see Ling Shiqi off for the last time.

He took a deep breath, took out the white bouquet in his hand, strode forward with a somewhat sad face, stood in front of the tombstone, and said in a painful hoarse voice: "Master Ling, I will never forget your kindness to me!"

"If there is an afterlife, I am willing to continue to work like a slave for you."

Then she put down the white bouquet in her hand, which consisted of exactly five white flowers.

"."

Taoli sat in the guest seats, waiting for the meal to start while looking around with boredom. His only friend died and he had no one to play with for a while, so he felt a little bored.

Maybe his definition of friend is a little strange.

Or maybe he just has a weird personality.

He actually didn't feel sad about Ling Shiqi's death. Instead, he found it quite interesting, just like the sudden dramatic end of a villain in a drama. It was very interesting. Of course, it was difficult for him to express this emotion.

It's just that he is very curious about his grandfather now.

After returning home that day, he carefully interrogated his grandfather about how he knew that Ling Shiqi was about to suffer a disaster. His grandfather did not say anything, but just shook his head and kept silent. Then he asked his grandfather again since he knew that Ling Shiqi was about to suffer a disaster.

Why not tell Ling Shiqi? Helping Ling Shiqi out of trouble may earn you generous rewards and friendship from Ling Ge.

This time, grandpa didn't shake his head, but just rolled his eyes at him.

It is clear.

Her grandfather knew something but just wouldn't tell her. Taoli let out a long sigh, glanced around, and then helplessly leaned back in her chair again. Why hadn't the dishes been served yet? Ling Shiqi's father was still on the stage talking nonstop about how outstanding Ling Shiqi was during his lifetime.

What’s the point of talking about this now? The truly excellent ones will never die.

If you can die, it means you are not good enough.

He just wondered why the dishes hadn't been served yet. Didn't everyone come to the funeral banquet just to eat this meal? It wasn't that they were short of this meal, but this was the last meal their friend invited them to.

Oh, although it was still his money.

at this time--

He suddenly realized a problem. It was normal for Chen Lu to have the seven-color entry of Void Detection, but how did Chen Lu know Ling Shiqi's true face? It was almost impossible for a person from the second-grade continent to know the specific information of someone from the fourth-grade continent.

next moment!
A formation suddenly enveloped the entire Ling Pavilion. The Pavilion Master of Ling Pavilion was seen standing on the high platform. His face was gloomy and his eyes were red as he scanned everyone present. He said word by word in a hoarse voice: "The mourning is over. There are still some things that require the cooperation of the guests."

"Those who don't cooperate will be killed."
