Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 77 "Top of the List": Xia Xundao, Prestige Value 18.92 million.

Since his debut!

The White-clothed Sword Cultivator had fought alone with his sword and killed his way to the top three of the Da Xia Heavenly Pride Leaderboard!

People thought him to be of a solitary nature.

In truth, he simply couldn't fit into any sect or family; he was naturally free-spirited, disliked constraints, and wouldn't do anything he didn't want to, not even if the Heavenly King himself insisted.

Following Chen Qiu, he suddenly realized that the Cultivation Path could be traveled with so many others.

Lively and bustling was actually quite nice.

He had always envied the group, especially when he was being chased by a crowd and, damn it, had no one to even entrust his last wishes to.

From now on, he could finally outnumber others just like the other sects did.

"I want to be the Great Elder."

Fat Long, standing next to him, patted the scholar on the shoulder with a serious expression, "What do you think, scholar? I've been with Brother Qiu longer and have a bit more experience than you; you don't mind, right?"

"Not at all."

The scholar helplessly shook his head and smiled, "Then, I'll be the Second Elder."

"Can I... be the Third Elder?"

A burly man with a goatee hesitantly questioned in a muffled voice, standing aside.

"Of course."

Chen Qiu looked at them and smiled, "The future reputation of 'Chao Tian Sect' depends on all of you."

...

"Mommy... that's really scary."

At this moment, Fufeng City was in disarray, covered with corpses; the City Lord of Fufeng City, who had returned at some point, was dispatching people to collect the bodies and clear the debris-littered cobblestone roads.

The entire Fufeng City was in chaos, filled with cries of lamentation.

Meanwhile, the Family Head of Yuncheng Wang Family, who had initially planned to leave Fufeng City but was forced back by demon beasts, was now hiding in a collapsed teahouse. He cautiously peered outside and only after confirming it was safe, retracted his head with a terrified expression, continuously patting his chest.

"It ended just like that?"

"How did so many Demon Clan cultivators die?"

"I was ready to play the hero, and it turns out I wasn't needed at all?"

After the breach of Fufeng City, he felt some fear, but still gritted his teeth, ready to step forward and use a Self-Destruction Term to protect the safety of Fufeng City despite lacking lofty aspirations.

He always felt that if he wasn't strong, then watching Fufeng City fall was just that.

But now that he had some strength, just watching the citizens of Fufeng City being slaughtered, though it wasn't really a problem, felt somewhat uncomfortable to him.

Although the entries were precious, he still had many even after using three or four. He thought using three or four entries to ensure the safety of Fufeng City's citizens was worth it.

Just as he was about to take action—

Someone stepped forward, riding a Flying Sword with Thunder Snakes all around like a descending Thunder God, wiping out the Demon Clan cultivators outside the city in the blink of an eye. The whole process seemed effortless.

The head he had barely managed to courageously stick out was quickly pulled back in.

"That... Minister Liu."

The Wang Family Patriarch looked at the young man sheltering with him and cautiously said, "It seems safe now, and I suddenly have an idea. Fufeng City is now in great need of rebuilding."

"Perhaps we don't need to hurry back to Yuncheng so soon."

"We can find many profitable ventures here, don't you think, Minister Liu?"

"..."

Minister Liu looked at his Family Head with a speechless expression and couldn't help but retort, "You've actually got a plan now."

"Master, you think too small. Didn't you hear the Heavenly Dao Decree just now?"

"The major update 'Chaotic World Struggle' to the Heavenly Dao introduced a new Fame Ranking!"

"The rules for ranking are extremely simple. As long as more people know about you, you can make the list. Everyone on the list receives a different Heavenly Dao Blessing daily based on their ranking. Don't you have even a slight interest in this ranking?"

"What?"

The Wang Family Patriarch stood frozen on the spot, carefully examining the attendant Liu and taking a good look at him from head to toe, "Who do you think between the two of us could make it onto that list? Have you seen who are on that list?"

"You compare our fame with theirs?"

-

'Fame Ranking'

'Rank One': Xia Xundao, fame value 18,920,000.

'Rank Two': Xia Dexin, fame value 12,930,000.

'...'

'Rank Five': Ji Renjian, fame value 9,290,000.

'...'

'Rank Thirteen': Ji Taiping, fame value 7,820,000.

'...'

'Rank Nineteen': Lie Yang, fame value 6,820,000.

'Rank Twenty': Ying Fengzi, fame value 6,530,000.

The Wang Family Patriarch looked at the ranking again and continued, "Look at the list yourself. The first place is His Majesty, the second is the Crown Prince, the fifth is Da Xia's top beauty, ranked first on the beauty list as the 'Heavenly Dao Beauty'."

"And it's not just about being the Heavenly Dao Beauty; she's truly a beauty even in the eyes of the common folk."

"The thirteenth, is the current top Sword Cultivator in Da Xia."

"The nineteenth, is the current top Artifact Cultivator in Da Xia."

"The twentieth, is the current top Array Repairer in Da Xia."

"Even the last person on the list, which is the one thousandth, is a well-known Evil Cultivator wanted by Da Xia Country, who has slaughtered several villages. Which one do you think we could replace on that list?"

Upon hearing this,

Attendant Liu meaningfully patted the Family Head's shoulder: "Sometimes, you really shouldn't belittle yourself. After all, this is a Fame Ranking, based on how many people know of you, not on your Cultivation, strength, or experience."

"This list even includes a mere actor. How could you not match up to her?"

"The scene of you slicing nine oxen in Fufeng City, I've already saved it in a Memory Stone. Next, we just need to make copies and widely distribute them across various cities. No one will be able to resist witnessing such an extraordinary scene."

"Moreover, the 'Fame Ranking' is still in its initial phase. Those listed are currently well-known, and there aren't any out-of-the-box strategies in play yet."

"As long as we can make it to the top ranks in a short period, the Heavenly Dao Blessings we receive daily will be an immense fortune."

"What we need to do is quite simple..."

"We simply find a few local tyrants in each city, then sell the Memory Stones to them at a low price. If they realize the value, they'll naturally think of ways to make many copies and distribute them."

"Master, don't speak yet, I know what you're about to say. Doing this, our profit margin will definitely be low, but that doesn't matter. Otherwise, Master, if you alone went to a foreign city to sell these Memory Stones, let's not even discuss whether you could visit several cities at once; consider, if you were taking meat from the local tyrants' plates, wouldn't they let you feast in their city after seeing red from jealousy?"

"We only need to spread these Memory Stones across Da Xia's 365 major cities as quickly as possible. Then, you will reap an unimaginable amount of fame."

"Is that so..."

The Wang Family Patriarch's eyes flashed with astonishment as it truly hadn't crossed his mind that this could work; it took him a while to respond, "But what if those local tyrants set the selling price too high, leading to few being able to afford them?"
