Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times-Chapter 561 - 209: "Five Hundred Divinity Transformation Domains!"_2
"...I don't feel like there has been any sacrifice."
"Anyway, there's no need to take this matter too seriously."
"I haven't paid much attention to it either... just felt... "
"Let's just agree on that!"
"Fine."
...
On the beach, Fat Long picked up the incense sticks he had dropped earlier, not wasting them, each of the three men—including Qu Gui and Black Dragon—held three incense sticks.
They held them in both hands.
Under the night sky, the tips of the incense sticks shimmered with a crimson glow and wisps of blue smoke drifted faintly.
The three knelt before the grave Ao Tian had dug for Black Dragon, looking towards the tombstone in front of the mound.
Fat Long, leading solemnly, spoke first.
"Remember Fat Long, Black Dragon, Qu Gui."
"Though not born brothers, since we've sworn to be brothers, we'll unite in heart and work together to rescue the endangered and help the needy."
"Not asking to have been born on the same year, month and day, but hoping to die on the same year, month and day."
"Heavenly Earth, truly witness our hearts, to betray this is to be condemned by gods and men alike!"
Afterwards, he was the first to get up and planted the three sticks of incense into the ground, and behind him, Black Dragon and Qu Gui did likewise, completing the ritual.
While kneeling, Fat Long then took out a jar of wine and poured it into three porcelain bowls.
"Cheers!"
Qu Gui and Black Dragon also excitedly echoed together, "Cheers!"
"Big brother!"
"Second brother!"
"Second brother!"
"Third brother!"
"Third brother!"
Fat Long, too, was somewhat moved by the emotions around him; this was his first time swearing brotherhood. He exchanged looks with Black Dragon and Qu Gui, and the three of them laughed out loud under the moonlight before embracing one another.
However, that soon changed—
Black Dragon immediately made an excited suggestion, "I propose we need a battle to let the whole world know of our fame, what do you think?"
"Great idea," Fat Long nodded, looking towards the figure of Brother Qiu atop the distant peak, and clicked his tongue, "But it has to wait a year, the next year is Chao Tian Sect and Dragon Clan's seclusion days."
"Hmm... that works."
Black Dragon nodded, then waved goodbye to Fat Long and the others, "I'm heading west to deliver the good news to the Red Fish Group."
"Go on."
...
After Black Dragon had left.
Fat Long, with an expressionless face, turned to look at Qu Gui. Although he didn't speak, Qu Gui shrank his neck a little fearfully and whispered, "Ch... Chief, it was Black Dragon who insisted on swearing brotherhood with me."
"I really didn't coax him; I just complimented him once, and he insisted on swearing brotherhood with me."
Just as Qu Gui was about to say something else.
Fat Long suddenly put his arm around Qu Gui's shoulders and grinned, "Damn, weren't you calling me big brother just now?"
Qu Gui was momentarily stunned, but excitement soon flashed in his eyes.
"Big brother!"
...
On the mountain top of Dragon Island.
Chen Qiu sat calmly cross-legged on a round rock, watching the trio at the tomb making their brotherhood vows, smiling quietly without speaking.
Quite lively.
He messed with the newly born Nascent Soul in his arms and then threw it back into his Dantian. Unlike his main Nascent Soul, which was engraved all over with entry names and Heavenly Gifted Names, surrounded by countless light balls, his minor Nascent Soul was reduced by thirty percent.

It looked almost pocket-sized, the surface of its body clean and devoid of any tattoos or similar markings.
Then he looked towards the panel enveloped in clouds and mist above his Dantian.
He wasn't planning on keeping it, since his next breakthrough would be into the Void Refining Stage. Using one choice from the Void Refining Stage's three options, and combining it with two choices from the Divinity Transformation Stage's three choices seemed a bit wasteful.
...
"Cultivation has greatly surged, as you've officially advanced to the eighth layer of Divinity Transformation."
"Please choose from the following three random entries within ten breaths."
1:
'Entry name': Bloodline Inheritance.
'Entry level': Blue.
'Entry effect': Your first-generation bloodline has a certain probability of obtaining a Bloodline Entry.
2:
'Entry name': Heavenly Mission.
'Entry level': Purple.
'Entry effect': Each month you will face a calamity. Surpassing it grants certain rewards, and the power of each calamity will increase monthly. The greater the calamity's power, the higher the rewards after it's surpassed, totaling one hundred and eight calamities.
3:
'Entry name': Bearing Thorns to Plead for Forgiveness
'Entry level': Purple.
'Entry effect': When you bear thorns and kowtow to apologize, you will be sheltered by the power of heaven and earth. The person you apologize to, if not exceeding you by two great realms, will be unable to act against you.
...
Chen Qiu immediately noticed the third entry, "Bearing Thorns to Plead for Forgiveness." Among the three, this entry was the strongest.
It meant that as long as you had this entry, as long as the opponent's cultivation hadn't surpassed you by two great realms,
When you bore thorns and apologized, they wouldn't be able to act against you.
It symbolized the power of heaven and earth.
Two great realms,
That means that if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator had this entry, only a Nascent Soul Cultivator could act against them; a Golden Core couldn't do anything against them.
This was indeed a strong entry, but its downside was that it could only control one person at a time. If you wanted to apologize to multiple people all at once, you'd probably need to combine it with other entries or increase the frequency of bowing.
If two people approached you from different sides,
You would need to bow to the east, controlling the eastern side while quickly bowing again to the person approaching from the west. It was like playing a game of freeze tag.
This entry was quite good, but the effect it might have on him was minimal.
If he really faced someone two realms above himself, rather than beating Bearing Thorns to Plead for Forgiveness, he preferred to whip out his Merit Attack Order, unleashing all his merit points and letting the opponent see what it meant to provoke a brute.
