Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 305: Every Step Was Wrong, Yet the Answer Was Right



The way to clear the level was wrong from the start.

No matter the process, the outcome is destined.

This level can't be cleared by climbing.

...

And at this moment——

Chen Qiu was leading Fat Long and two Bai Family talents, standing on the seventeenth step, preparing to move to the next level. The closer they got to the mountain gate, the more Chen Qiu could clearly feel the Sect Leader Token from the "Chao Tian Sect" vibrating rapidly in his Storage Ring.

"Fat Long."

"Hmm?"

A nervous Fat Long responded instinctively.

"I feel like you might have miscalculated."

Chen Qiu turned and looked down at the plaza behind him, and at the others still hesitating on the steps. He casually said, "I'm not very good at math. I just think that the death rate for each step is one-sixth, and the survival rate is five-sixths.

"If you calculate it this way,

"the survival rate should be higher than the death rate, right?

"Meaning it's just five-sixths eighteen times in a row. Look, aren't there several people who've reached the tenth step? It seems like they can clear it."

"Uh..."

Fat Long, uncertain after hearing this, said sheepishly, "Maybe there's some error, but I said from the start I only know a little. After all, I was a small business owner in my previous life. People like me often know a bit about everything, but only a bit."

"Let's go."

Chen Qiu shook his head, not saying more. Talking about it now was pointless. He just wanted to venture deep into the Secret Realm quickly to see what was causing his Chao Tian Sect Leader Token to tremble, and what the content of the ninth level was.

As for the Bai Family's female cultivator genius, she was no longer with them now.

This woman was also a math genius, just like Fat Long.

When they rolled the "dice" sixteen times in a row without a disaster effect, on the seventeenth roll, this woman didn't want to stay in the same square with them anymore. According to her logic, it was roughly...

The probability of the same thing happening seventeen times in a row is much greater than a five-sixths chance.

So after reaching the seventeenth step, she chose to act alone and went to another square.

That's good.

No one stopped her.

As a result, they reached the seventeenth level smoothly, while the Bai Family's female cultivator genius was reduced to ashes amidst a burst of Heavenly Thunder.

And just then——

As spiritual energy surged, Chen Qiu's energy swept the group into the air, landing them on the eighteenth step, and above their heads, the dice began to spin rapidly, slowly preparing to stop.

And just as the dice was about to stop.

Fat Long's face suddenly became extremely grim. The group clearly saw that the dice had only one number on each side, which was "one dot," meaning that no matter which side the dice stopped on, it would be "one dot."

And "one dot"... means death.

"..."

Chen Qiu didn't speak. He just took out the Chao Tian Sect Leader Token from his pocket, holding it in his hand patiently waiting. Since he chose this method, he had to bear its consequences, while activating all his defense mechanisms, preparing to test the power of this Heavenly Thunder.

The other Bai Family Magic Practitioner talent, although full of despair, could barely maintain composure. But upon seeing Chen Qiu fully open his defensive measures, he fell into complete despair, a hint of death in his eyes, not resisting, he took a few steps back, letting himself fall backward.

"Boom!!"

Before he fell to the plaza, he was struck to death mid-air by Heavenly Thunder.

Chen Qiu didn't even have time to stop it before it ended. The Bai Family Sword Cultivator Genius standing by was in disbelief, staring at the scattered ashes in the air, unable to resist a breakdown, shouting loudly: "Are you crazy?!"

But at this moment, the Bai Family's Magic Practitioner talent couldn't hear him anymore.

Finally.

At that moment, the dice above Chen Qiu's head slowly stopped spinning, stopping at... "six dots."

All five other dots on the dice had disappeared at some point, merging onto one side, forming six dots, which was the best number. Chen Qiu looked at the three "One-Day Seven-Colored Jade Scrolls" emerging on the step, sighing slightly regretfully.

Originally it should have been five times.

These two Bai Family talents, one had a bad mind, the other lacked resolve. Clearly, victory was in sight, yet they actively sought death. He didn't expect this; out of the three Bai Family talents he brought, two were now dead.

Chen Qiu turned his head and looked at the sole remaining Bai Family Sword Cultivator Genius: "What's your name?"

The Bai Family Sword Cultivator Genius was startled before responding, his voice trembling: "Senior, I am called 'Pingling,' surname Bai, full name Bai Pingling."

"Hmm."

After lightly sighing, Chen Qiu patted Bai Pingling on the shoulder: "Stay close, don't cause trouble. When you return, make sure to explain clearly to your Family Head, so it doesn't seem like the three of you all died in this Secret Realm, making it look like I killed you all."

"Understand?"

"Junior understands."

If all three had died in this Secret Realm, he really would have had a hard time explaining it.

After leaving the eighteenth step, what came into view was a larger plaza and an extremely grand mountain gate nearly a thousand feet high. Standing at a high point, they could already completely overlook the patterns on the plaza ground of the sixth level.

From above, still no discoveries, just some random chaotic patterns.
