Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Chapter 107: “Is it that obvious?”_2

Only by guessing the effects of the seven-colored term that are even stronger than the red and golden entries, right?

But no one has ever seen a red or golden entry, so how can they guess about the seven-colored term?

…

Fat Long and the scholar exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. Then, they took a deep breath simultaneously, and with tremulous voices, they turned to Chen Qiu.

“Brother Qiu…”

“You’re not thinking of attempting to form a tenth-grade Golden Core, are you?”

“Yes,”

Chen Qiu nodded, his face emotionlessly said, “I have decided to give up on the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard competition in a few days, until I gather all the materials needed for the tenth-grade Golden Core.”

“The reason I’m telling you this is because I need your help.”

He looked at the scholar, “If I find a way to help you restore your cultivation, do you have the confidence to pass the Sword Cultivator inheritance? As long as you can pass, then I can gain another Nascent Soul body.”

“Now that you’ve formed your core, a Nascent Soul body is of no use to you. I will compensate you in other ways.”

“That’s not necessary,”

The scholar shook his head, “Brother Qiu, you have already saved my life with the Heavenly Dao Jade. If you can also help me recover my cultivation, it’s a great kindness. The Nascent Soul body should naturally be offered to Brother Qiu as thanks, but… I really can’t pass that Sword Cultivator inheritance. I’ve tried several times already.”

“This… really comes down to a matter of strength.”

“What if you also step into the realm of Human Sword Unity?”

“It’s even tougher,” the scholar said with a helpless tone, “In the whole of Da Xia, only Ji Taiping barely touched the realm of Human Sword Unity.”

Chen Qiu gave the scholar a soft look and whispered, “You said yesterday that Ji Taiping barely touched the realm of Human Sword Unity thanks to Ji Renjian. If I arrange for Ji Renjian to fall out of love and in love with you anew, could you step into the realm of Human Sword Unity with Ji Renjian’s influence?”

“This…”

The scholar was dumbfounded, momentarily at a loss. This was a conversation he’d had with Fat Long the day before, and Brother Qiu hadn’t been in the small world then; how could Brother Qiu know about it?

“The Array Core of this small world is in my possession. While entering the Magic Practitioner inheritance, my connection to the small world was cut off, but it was restored when I came out. The content of your conversation was recorded by the Sound Recording Stone embedded in the arrays of Chao Tian Sect and automatically transmitted to my mind when the connection resumed.”

“…”

The scholar didn’t speak again, but after a long silence, he still shook his head with a somewhat hoarse voice, “Brother Qiu, this actually puts me in a difficult position. I really am reluctant to step into the realm of Human Sword Unity by such means.”

“Ji Taiping is someone I’ve always looked down upon.”

“In doing so, I’d be no different from him.”

“But Brother Qiu, you saved my life. If it’s something you’re set on, Brother Qiu, I will cooperate with you unconditionally.”

“I will heed your instruction.”

…

After a long silence, Chen Qiu smiled abruptly at the scholar, “Congratulations, your chance of obtaining the Sword Cultivator inheritance has just increased a bit.”

“In the Inheritance Secret Realm, there’s an old acquaintance of mine.”

“He disclosed some insider information to me that, to pass the Sword Cultivator inheritance, one of the most important implicit conditions is the test of one’s nature. One must maintain their original intention after ups and downs to pass the fourth and the fifth levels.”

“In other words, you must experience ups and downs to obtain the Sword Cultivator inheritance!”

Chen Qiu, clearly invigorated, patted the scholar’s shoulder and smiled, “I think you will be fine. After I help you restore your cultivation, try again, then let’s see who else we can help obtain other inheritances…”

“That would make for three Nascent Soul Bodies.”

“Hmm, what about Zhao Yishi? He has the top Body Cultivation pink entry.”

“Not quite.”

Fat Long shook his head, “That guy seems big, but he looks like he doesn’t have any combat power, and we’re not that close to him either. If we help him obtain the Body Cultivation inheritance, will he give us a Nascent Soul body?”

“Even if he’s willing, would the Sect Master and elders behind him agree?”

“If we directly fight to seize it, Caotian Sect has Golden Core Peak cultivators and Supreme Elders. We probably can’t outfight them.”

“True.”

Chen Qiu nodded and began pondering the remaining candidates. When that Old Man Cao slapped him out of the Inheritance Secret Realm, he stealthily gave him a Jade Scroll, which recorded the implicit conditions for passing several other inheritances.

These were unknown to the outside world.

It even included the Array Repairer inheritance.

He remembered asking in a low voice, “You and the Gatekeeper of the Magic Practitioner inheritance have been friends for many years; why don’t you seem saddened by his passing?” Old Man Cao had not answered him but had given him a meaningful glance.

In that glance, he saw many things Old Man Cao couldn’t voice.

Several possibilities popped into his mind.

Although he wasn’t sure what the exact situation was, he could vaguely guess that obtaining the inheritance wasn’t bad for the Gatekeeper, but rather… it might be a good thing?

Passed away?

Perhaps it is more appropriate to say ‘released from imprisonment’ instead?

…

After a brief exchange.

Chen Qiu took the Storage Bag full of Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills from Fat Long and started walking towards the inner part of Chao Tian Sect, ready to find a place to upgrade his cultivation.

After his cultivation had been upgraded to the Foundation Establishment peak level, he planned to start preparing for the tenth-grade Golden Core.

…

After Chen Qiu left.

The group, sitting at the mountain gate of Chao Tian Sect, fell into a prolonged silence. After a while, the scholar broke the silence tentatively, “What do you think Brother Qiu’s seven-colored term might be?”

As soon as he spoke.

Even the scholarly apprentice, who usually seemed unconcerned about anything, pricked up his ears quietly.
