Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times - Chapter 239

Chapter 239: Chapter 130: Storm.

Xiao Yu City, inside the inn.

Chen Qiu stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the familiar panel enveloped by clouds and mist floating above his Dantian.

–

“Cultivation has greatly increased, officially stepping into the second layer of the Golden Core Stage.”

“Please choose one of the three random entries below within ten breaths.”

1:

“Entry Name”: Storm.

“Entry Level”: Blue.

“Entry Effect”: When you are on the sea surface or in the rain, the power of your Water Immortal Magic will greatly increase. When you are in an environment of a storm with dense clouds and flashing lightning, the power of your Thunder Based Immortal Techniques will greatly increase.

2:

“Entry Name”: Start from scratch.

“Entry Level”: Yellow.

“Entry Effect”: You will lose all memories, entries, cultivation, etc., and be reborn at the time and place you were born, starting from scratch, and your lifespan, bone age, etc., will all restart, and all wounds and hidden injuries on your body will be healed.

3:

“Entry Name”: Escape Technique.

“Entry Level”: White.

“Entry Effect”: When your physical body dies, the speed of your Golden Core escaping the body will greatly increase.

–

These three entries were the ones randomly available to him upon his cultivation enhancement to the second layer of the Golden Core Stage.

There was no room for choice.

Chen Qiu raised an eyebrow and immediately chose the first entry. This entry was actually quite restrictive as it depended on specific environmental conditions like being on the surface of water or during stormy weather to enhance certain spells’ power.

One could say it was an entry that could only be utilized under special circumstances.

But to him,

it was essentially a long-term activated passive entry.

His “Thunder Summoning Technique”, if fully unleashed, could easily manipulate the forces of nature, instantly turning any place into a scene of striking lightning and stormy weather, meaning that his Thunder Summoning Technique would always receive a boost when fully unleashed.

The more he considered it, the more he appreciated the benefits of the Thunder Summoning Technique, which wasn’t even specifically a Magic Practitioner’s spell.

It featured instant activation without any delay.

Like the Flower Offering Sect Master, to be honest, the oppressive presence of the several dozen feet tall skeletal phantom behind him was quite significant; its terrifying pressure made one’s breathing uneasy, but its biggest drawback was that it took too long to activate.

Thus, leading to the Flower Offering Sect Master’s big move not being executed before he was killed.

No one is foolish enough to stand there waiting for you to finish your big move before they attack you. And the originally ordinary Thunder Summoning Technique, enhanced by countless of his methods, had already far surpassed the full-strength blow of a typical cultivator of his level.

It was a combination of a major move and instantaneous execution.

He felt he could use this spell for a long time.

As for the second entry, it was even more useless to him. He now had what one might call a perfect set of entries, the dream of all Magic Practitioners. Why would he bother to start from scratch for no reason? The third entry did tempt him somewhat.

It would also count as a life-saving measure.

If one day he truly faced an unstoppable foe, at least he could escape by having his Golden Core flee.

But even though he was tempted, it was of no use. He currently lacked a Heavenly Dao High-Quality Retrospection Charm and thus could not choose between the discarded three entries from the selections at the Golden Core Stage. He had asked the scholar, who mentioned that the Heavenly Dao High-Quality Retrospection Charm was rather rare and occasionally appeared in auctions at extremely high prices.

So he did not inquire further.

This matter was also largely dependent on fate. When the time was right, it would be available; if not, then it wouldn’t.

…

After adjusting his attire, Chen Qiu walked out of the door, planning to take Fat Long and others for a stroll in the streets. They had no specific aim, just leisurely wandering. The Sea Clan wouldn’t invade until the day after tomorrow, so there was still a day or two.

Besides cultivating, it was important to balance work and rest.

Occasionally enjoying the scenery was also beneficial for mental and physical health.

The only attack spells he was currently practicing were the Thunder Summoning Technique and the Nine Poison Nether Soul Technique. The former was a basic spell in the Cultivation World that many people knew; the latter, strictly speaking, was a variant spell suitable for poison cultivators.

Though he claimed to be a Magic Practitioner,

he hadn’t learned a single typical Magic Practitioner’s spell, which was quite ironic.

…

After strolling around Xiao Yu City for a while, Chen Qiu led Fat Long and the others back to the inn to cultivate.

To cultivate vigorously.

Finally, at the midnight hour, ten Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills were delivered.

Consume!

With Chen Qiu’s hard work, finally by dawn, after sitting cross-legged on the bed and letting out a long breath of turbid air, he looked towards the Cultivation Progress floating above his Dantian satisfied.

–

“Cultivation”: Golden Core Stage second layer (40.2%).

–

Cultivation progress had almost increased by half, and in another day or two, he would be able to advance to the third layer of the Golden Core Stage.

Why was he so strong?

While others were wasting time gossiping, he was cultivating hard; while others were enjoying music in brothels, he was cultivating hard; while others were comparing their Spiritual Treasures, he was cultivating hard.

It was precisely because of this perseverance that his strength could steadily advance step by step.

After reaching the second layer of the Golden Core Stage,

a Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill could now only increase his Cultivation Progress by 4%, which was slightly less than during the first layer. As his cultivation increased, the effectiveness of the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill also diminished.

But even so, he was already satisfied.

This pace had far surpassed all Golden Core cultivators in Da Xia; he should be the fastest cultivator, without any competitors. After all, not many people could consume Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills like candy as he did.

And while he swallowed the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills these two days, he was also operating his mental method, allowing his cultivation progress to advance by an additional 0.1%.
