Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 378: Chapter 164: Closing the Mountain for a Century, Officially Retreating from the World._3
 

…

Curiosity flashed in Chen Qiu’s eyes as he walked toward the depths of the Heavenly Palace and looked at the next circular base.

–

“One of the twelve milestone tasks”

“To simultaneously possess a twelve-grade Golden Core and a twelve-grade Nascent Soul.”

Completer: None.

–

“Hey!”

Chen Qiu laughed. It seemed he could own another statue of himself. He had prepared all the materials to form a twelve-grade Nascent Soul, and all he needed was to return and he would become a twelve-grade Nascent Soul.

This time, he had learned his lesson.

He knew that when completing the milestone tasks, the Heavenly Dao would freeze his image, essentially taking a snapshot. Then, based on the captured image, a statue would be constructed for him within the Heavenly Palace. He needed to think carefully about what clothes to wear later.

He then looked at the other circular bases.

The remaining milestone tasks were all very difficult.

Suddenly, he felt…

It was likely that these milestone tasks had not just appeared in the previous version of the Heavenly Dao, but had been around for a long time, simply uncompleted by anyone. Not to mention the difficulty of simultaneously having a twelve-grade Golden Core and a twelve-grade Nascent Soul, which was no ordinary feat.

After memorizing all the milestone tasks secretly,

he continued his search within the “Heavenly Palace”, seeing nothing else of particular note and unable to leave. Although the gate of the Heavenly Palace seemed not tightly secured, the force of heaven and earth covered upon it let him know that not even those in the Divinity Transformation Realm could leave.

This place was like a hidden map.

So far, he seemed to be the only one here, as only by completing certain milestone tasks could one arrive; he had not seen any other statues here.

Looking out through the gap in the door, he felt as if there was nothing outside, somewhat like a void, so he did not stay any longer.

With a thought, he turned and returned to where he had started.

…

Hovering above the sea once more, Chen Qiu looked up into the high sky, faintly sensing the “Heaven Palace” placed above the Nine Heavens. He could enter the Heavenly Palace whenever he willed it.

But he could only enter once a day.

Moreover, within the Heavenly Palace, he could not establish contact with his small world.

He then chuckled and entered his small world, looking at Fat Long and others setting up a Spirit Gathering Array. He found a quiet place in the backyard and began to slowly operate his mental method to calm his spirit, preparing for the Nascent Soul breakthrough.

During the Nascent Soul breakthrough, he must ensure that his mind was extremely calm, without a single ripple.

Even a moment’s distraction

could lead to a failure in the breakthrough, making composure before the breakthrough extremely crucial.

…

Meanwhile—

With a complex expression, the Su Family Patriarch, Su Tianshan, looked at the Quzhou Merit Rankings. Chen Qiu’s name was no longer there. Over time, he had also learned approximately how Chen Qiu had managed to destroy the entire Evil State with that one strike.

Previously, Chen Qiu had a total of 98 billion merit points, but now, on the “Xuantian Continent Merit Rankings,” he only had one billion merit points left.

Gone were 97 billion merit points.

This meant that Chen Qiu had exhausted all the merit points he had accumulated over the years to launch that Heavenly Punishment-like cleansing strike, and he could no longer use such a method a second time.

He did not know where those 98 billion merit points had come from.

Perhaps it was some form of opportunity.

But he could be certain

that the opportunity to gain 98 billion merit points was extremely rare across the entire Xuantian Continent, an opportunity one might not encounter twice in a lifetime.

Moreover, not only were the merit points gone, but he had also accumulated a substantial amount of sin points, meaning he surely would not survive the Heavenly Tribulation.

But to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, he needed to survive the Heavenly Tribulation!

And after the Divinity Transformation Realm, every advance through a small realm would require surviving another Heavenly Tribulation.

That is to say,

Chen Qiu’s cultivation was almost certainly doomed to remain at the Nascent Soul peak; attempting to break through to Divinity Transformation would be a deadly undertaking!

“Alas.”

The Su Family Patriarch sighed deeply, silently regretting without speaking. Chen Qiu’s name had disappeared from the Quzhou Merit Rankings, meaning Chen Qiu was no longer in Quzhou.

As to where he had gone, he was also unclear.

Ever since the last time Chen Qiu single-handedly destroyed Evil State, there had been no news from him. He was likely healing his injuries; he also did not know whether the Golden Core had been damaged. If the Golden Core was damaged, even maintaining Nascent Soul peak cultivation would be wishful thinking.@@novelbin@@

It had been ten days since any news from Chen Qiu had come.

And in these ten days!

The name Chen Qiu had nearly become famous throughout the entire Xuantian Continent, with countless powers sending people to swarm into Quzhou. What had usually been a quiet Quzhou turned into a hot spot overnight.

Countless individuals came to personally investigate the news about Chen Qiu.

They wanted to see this sudden Heavenly Pride of Quzhou.

Many who started in Quzhou and later moved to Central State to develop their Divinity had contacted him to inquire about the situation; however, he did not know how to respond, as it was clear that Chen Qiu was not a native Heavenly Pride of Quzhou.

It was as if he had suddenly appeared.

Now, it was being said throughout the Xuantian Continent that Chen Qiu was a Heavenly Pride who had emerged from the Lower Nine Heavens, but only he knew the truth.

After a long moment of distraction, he shook his head and sent orders for the Su Family disciples to intensify their cultivation, and to purchase a large amount of Pills, talismans, Array Plates, and other strategic materials extensively. The new version of Heavenly Dao, “World of Conflict,” would arrive in twenty days.

No one knew what the contents of this version of Heavenly Dao would be, so it was best to prepare in advance.
