Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 412: Chapter 171: Dragon Clan… Has it really perished like this?_4
 

…

Above the Nine Heavens, Heaven Palace.

Chen Qiu first looked up at the two statues, then turned to glance at the other ten empty circular pedestals before striding toward one.

—

“One of the twelve milestone tasks”

“Seize the top rank of the Heavenly Dao Leaderboard five times.”

“Completer: None.”

—

He had seized the top rank of the leaderboard four times.

Once on Da Xia’s “Heavenly Dao Heavenly Pride Leaderboard,” once on Da Xia’s “Merit Point Leaderboard,” as well as on the “Xuantian Continent Merit Point Leaderboard” and the “Xuantian Continent Sin Value Leaderboard.”

There was also a “Heavenly Dao Evil-Slaying Leaderboard,” a time-limited list created by the Heavenly Dao during the invasion of the Evil Clan in Da Xia, but clearly, that didn’t count.

So, that meant he currently had four, just one short.

If he could take the top rank on this “Nascent Soul Battle Power Leaderboard,” he would have seized the top rank of the Heavenly Dao Leaderboard five times, successfully completing the milestone task. At that time, he would gain another statue of himself and two more mid-grade Heavenly Dao Roulettes.

He suddenly felt that

the main reason why no one in the Xuantian Continent had completed a milestone task over the years might be because these people simply didn’t know what the milestone tasks were.

If anyone knew what the milestone tasks were, they should be able to complete a few.

Like this milestone task.

It mentioned seizing the top five times, which means topping the same leaderboard five times would also count.

Take the “Xuantian Continent Sin Value Leaderboard” as an example: reach the top rank first, then artificially create someone who could surpass oneself, fall to the second rank, then eliminate that person, create another to surpass oneself, fall to second again, and then…

“Alright then.”

Chen Qiu curled his lip, feeling that this seemed a bit more difficult.

Then, Chen Qiu approached the crack of the Heavenly Palace Gate, looked out, and could see nothing but the void enveloped in bright light before turning and leaving the “Heavenly Palace.”

The Heavenly Dao Roulette was a fine item.

All his Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills for Nascent Soul came from here.

Just 40 Nascent Soul Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills had allowed his cultivation to break through directly from the first layer of Nascent Soul to the fifth. Without those pills, he wouldn’t even have reached the second layer of Nascent Soul, let alone the fifth, but it was a pity that he didn’t know where to get more Nascent Soul Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills.

And a second-layer Nascent Soul battle power definitely couldn’t match that of the fifth layer, which might mean not being able to take the top rank on this “Nascent Soul Battle Power Leaderboard.”

As for now…

He was relatively confident in himself and believed he had at least a 40% chance of taking the top rank, as long as some monstrous Heavenly Pride didn’t appear. After all, fighting the Nascent Soul peak in Quzhou didn’t seem to put much pressure on him.

His Thunder Summoning Technique was now fully powered in terms of damage.

Nascent Soul peak cultivators had to face the Heavenly Tribulation to break through to Divinity Transformation, so consider this like bringing forward a taste of the Heavenly Tribulation for these Nascent Soul fellows.

…

“Nascent Soul Battle Power Leaderboard?”

Kong Ming, clothed in Kasaya, stood in a bamboo forest not far out of the Central Continent, looking up at the bright moon overhead, with palms together and a string of Buddha Beads made of 108 beads twined between his fingers, standing with neither sorrow nor joy, patiently waiting.

And above his Dantian…

A Shariputra with rich Buddhist nature was floating gently in mid-air, its emanating Buddhistic aura continuously cleansing both his body and his Nascent Soul.

The ten Cloud Patterns on the Nascent Soul’s forehead clearly indicated that this Nascent Soul was indeed a tenth-grade!

He had only just broken through to the first layer of Nascent Soul.

By common sense, his battle power shouldn’t match those at the Nascent Soul peak, but… he couldn’t be judged by common sense.

With his tenth-grade Nascent Soul and the backing of an ancestor’s Shariputra, draped in a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure Kasaya worn by Buddhist Sect children for generations, and with the string of 108 beads in his hand being an Earth Level lower-grade Lifebound Treasure made for him by his master.

Each bead could explode to unleash a full-power strike equivalent to a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.

And they were inherently powerful treasures.

Being esteemed treasures of the Buddhist Sect, they caused even more damage to sin-ridden demons and devils, and he had learned Buddhist Secret Skills, which, through the deep Buddhist heritage and the empowerment by the current head of the Sect, heightened these skills to break through the Great Perfection Realm into an even higher plane.

He was unclear about his current battle power.

All he knew was that when passing through a gathering place of demons by day, a simple “Om” from his Six-character Dharma Seal had killed a Nascent Soul later-stage demon.

The Six-character Dharma Seal consisted of six moves.

They are, in ascending order of strength: Om, Ma, Ni, Padme, Hum.

The “Om” seal is the starting move and the weakest among them. With the augmentation of the ancestral Shariputra, each of his seals was bestowed with rich Buddhistic nature and had immense power.

Just as his master had told him when he descended from the mountain.

No one under the heavens could kill him.

Although only at the first layer of Nascent Soul, he believed killing a Nascent Soul peak-level demon should be relatively easy for him. He may be alone, but he carried the many deep-rooted inheritances of the Buddhist Sect for thousands of years.

This is the heritage of a top force from Central Continent.

In a situation where many top forces have secluded themselves,

perhaps truly no one under the heavens could match him.

Unless…

Kong Ming looked towards the direction of Quzhou with an indifferent expression on his face, unless that Chen Qiu, who formed a twelve-grade Nascent Soul, came into the picture.

He had formed his tenth-grade Nascent Soul through the Buddhist Sect’s inherited One Day Seven-Colored Jade Scroll, but he wondered where Chen Qiu’s One Day Seven-Colored Word Jade Scroll came from. It was a pity; that Seven-colored Word was indeed potent but could only last for one day, fleeting like the moon reflected in the water.
