Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 393: Chapter 167: “Guaranteed Cultivation”! _4
 

“`

“I didn’t tell you?” Qu Gui glanced at Zhao Buzhu, “I twisted off the Qu Family Master’s head and took all the foundation that the Qu family had built over the years. I brought it all to the Chao Tian Sect as my proof of allegiance, so naturally, the Sect Master trusts me.”

“…”

Zhao Buzhu’s lips twitched slightly, and he said no more.

…

Inside the Chao Tian Sect.

Chen Qiu, seated cross-legged on an oval stone atop the rear mountain peak, looked at the panel that emerged surrounded by clouds and mist.

–

“Please choose one of the three random grey entries below within a hundred breaths.”

“The chosen grey entry can be cleared with no negative effects.”

1:

“Entry Name”: The Qi Refinement God.

“Entry Level”: Grey.

“Entry Effect”: You will be unable to achieve Foundation Establishment permanently (none), but your lifespan will be extended by 500 years.

2:

“Entry Name”: Rapid Progress.

“Entry Level”: Grey.

“Entry Effect”: The Cultivation Progress you gain through any method in the next month will be tenfold, but you will only live to be 100 years old, and you cannot extend your life by any means (none).

3:

“Entry Name”: Guaranteed Cultivation.

“Entry Level”: Grey.

“Entry Effect”: You cannot increase your Cultivation by any means, but when the lifespan of each Great Realm is about to end, you will automatically break through to the next Great Realm, with the initial phase of Golden Core as the maximum limit (none). This entry cannot be cleared, nor can you consume lifespan to activate any spells and Spiritual Treasures that require lifespan as the cost.

“…”

Chen Qiu’s mouth opened slightly, a flicker of shock in his eyes, as he stood rooted to the spot.

This was his first time experiencing the power of a grey entry!

A grey entry without negative effects, that was downright divine-level, second to none, even more formidable than a Seven-colored term!

The first entry isn’t worth mentioning.

It’s not that strong.

Although it no longer had the negative effect of failing to achieve Foundation Establishment, its positive effect was also quite ordinary, with only an extension of 500 years of lifespan.

It’s the second entry that’s the most lethal!

In the next month, any Cultivation Progress he made would be tenfold. Previously, there was a fatal weakness; he could only live until 100.

Now even that fatal weakness was gone.

It was a pure increase with no disadvantages.

But, both of these, although exaggerated, were not the most extreme!

The third entry was the most outrageous— “Guaranteed Cultivation”!

Unable to increase Cultivation by any means, but, when the lifespan of each Great Realm was about to expire, one would directly break through to the next Great Realm, with Golden Core as the limit.

He had previously received this entry at random.

Or rather, except for the second entry, he had randomly received both the first and the third entries before, but had abandoned them due to their excessively powerful negative effects. Although he had not received the second entry, he had received a similar one before.

But now, the third entry, “Guaranteed Cultivation.”

The restriction of the maximum limit of Golden Core had been eliminated!

What did that mean?!

It meant that if he chose this entry, he wouldn’t need to do anything from now on!

Worldly strife? None of his concern!

Xuantian Continent? None of his concern!

He just needed to stay in the small world, eat and drink daily, and after thousands or tens of thousands of years, he would naturally become an Immortal Emperor!

Was there a stronger entry than this?

For many people, this entry’s level of power even exceeded that of the “Seven-colored term Step by Step.” If this entry were a Jade Scroll, tossing it on the Xuantian Continent would lead to countless top powers fighting to the death for it.

An entry that guaranteed at least an Immortal Emperor status, who wouldn’t want that?

…

“Phew…”

Chen Qiu slowly closed his eyes, breathing deeply several times. He hadn’t expected that a three-choice grey entry would present him with a royal flush.

In other words.

This wasn’t just a choice between three entries; this was an opportunity to become an Immortal Emperor!

The second entry, the third entry, which to choose.

He had been thinking just today about when he could rest; now, the opportunity had arrived. Picking this entry, he could rest for thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years.

If the end of the Immortal Path was to be an Immortal Emperor, then he could rest all the way to Immortal Emperor status.

But…

If he became an Immortal Emperor through this entry, even if he became an Immortal Emperor, he would surely be the weakest among them!

He would have only Realm Cultivation.

Nothing else.

All the opportunities he had gained early on, all the foundation he had fought for, would be meaningless, irrelevant to an Immortal Emperor.

In other words.

This entry negated all of his achievements, allowing him to easily become an Immortal Emperor without effort.

But—

After a long while.

Chen Qiu slowly opened his eyes, gave up on the entry that represented a certain Immortal Emperor status, and focused on the second entry, with a month of tenfold increased Cultivation Progress.

He did want to become an Immortal Emperor.

What he envisioned, though, was that even if he became an Immortal Emperor, he would be the strongest one, free to do what he wanted, to fight whoever he wanted.

Not to become the weakest Immortal Emperor.

The weakest Immortal Emperor held no allure for him, the status of merely being at the tail end of greatness was non-existent in his eyes, he had not spent a thousand years coming to the Xuantian Continent just to end up in such a position.

If it were possible to consume lifespan, the entry would indeed be powerful—forget being a Magic Practitioner, he might as well switch to Evil Cultivation, crazily consuming his own lifespan, and then, just before his lifespan was about to run out, he would automatically break through the next Great Realm, becoming an Immortal Emperor within a year.
