Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

At the same time—

All the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Fufeng City, including Fat Long, immediately reacted, disregarding anything else as they instantly rose from the ground. They seated themselves cross-legged on the spot and greedily absorbed the rich nature's spiritual energy.

Under the effect of supreme heart method and Heavenly Dao Foundation.

Chen Qiu's progress rapidly soared.

Until, after the time it took for three cups of tea to pass, the black fog that had been enveloping the skies above Fufeng City completely dispersed. The sun, long unseen, finally shone down upon Fufeng City, and the white-eyed black crows that had appeared during the dark clouds continued to circle above Fufeng City, emitting a series of piercing cries.

As if announcing good tidings.

"Sigh."

Chen Qiu, seated cross-legged on the ground, exhaled a long breath of turbid air and then performed introspection on his Dantian. He looked towards the slowly rotating Heavenly Dao Foundation within it—a small universe within the Dantian, big enough to accommodate even the Tao Foundation, regardless of how large it might be, without the absurdity of a Tao Foundation bigger than the person himself.

His Tao Foundation could accommodate more than two hundred times the spiritual energy of cultivators at the same stage, with the remaining space filled by an unknown Chaos Qi.

The long-missed three entry options floated quietly above the Tao Foundation, waiting for his selection.

-

"Cultivation greatly increased, officially entering the second level of the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"Please make a choice from the three random entries below within ten breaths' time."

1:

"Entry name": Focus Power.

"Entry level": green.

"Entry effect": If you learn the 'Green Lotus Sword Skill', the power of this swordsmanship will increase by fifty percent.

2:

"Entry name": Recovery Wind.

"Entry level": green.

"Entry effect": When you absorb spiritual energy, your injuries will also gradually recover. The speed of injury recovery will match the speed of spiritual energy absorption.

3:

"Entry name": Yin-Yang Reversal.

"Entry level": green.

"Entry effect": You will switch genders, and when you practice 'Dual Cultivation' mental methods, the effect will be doubled.

-

It must be said.

After the advancement in cultivation, the level of entries he received had indeed increased considerably – this time, there were no white entries, all were uniformly green entries. In fact, he quite liked white entries; sometimes, certain white entries were not necessarily weaker than any green or blue entries.

The level does not entirely determine the strength of an entry.

It is more about rarity.

Just like his life-bound entry, Seven-colored "Step by Step", which was an incredible entry when obtained during the Qi Refinement Realm. But should this entry be obtained in the Mahayana Realm or even the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, it wouldn't have such a strong effect.

After all, in such realms, advancing even a small Realm is incredibly difficult – even if you have this Seven-colored entry, how many times can you really use it?

And the probability of obtaining a Seven-colored entry in those realms is far greater than the chance of obtaining it during the Qi Refinement period.

But can you say that the "Step by Step" entry is not powerful?

The same entry—

Appearing on different people, different races, at different stages of cultivation, at different temporal stages, the effects are vastly different.

...

Chen Qiu quickly scanned the three entries that popped up. He immediately ruled out the first entry, feeling as though he had a fate with Sword Cultivators, as if the Heavenly Dao was tempting him to switch to Sword Cultivation.

Then, after he switched to being a Sword Cultivator, all the entries he obtained had nothing to do with Sword Cultivation.

The path of a Magic Practitioner was set in stone, and there was no way to change it. Moreover, when it came to Sword Cultivation, his talent definitely couldn't match that of the scholar, but even someone as strong as the scholar was hunted down, causing his realm to fall and leaving him crippled.

It was evident that the path of the Sword Cultivator wasn't invincible either.

And the third entry suitable for the Flower Offering Sect was quickly ruled out by him as well; there was no choice at all. The other two entries were useless, only the second one was useful, so he had to choose that entry.

But it had to be said, the "Recovery Wind" entry really suited him.

He had the Heavenly Dao Foundation and was constantly absorbing the nature's spiritual energy, which meant that the "Recovery Wind" entry allowed him to automatically heal wounds at all times, and once he activated his mental method, the speed of healing would increase even further.

If he ever had the chance to be in an environment where the Demon Race invasion made the spiritual energy extremely dense, then the healing speed would be even faster.

After all, the speed of healing depended on the rate at which you absorbed spiritual energy.

It was a very strong entry for the later stages.

Pretty good.

It was essentially a permanent auto-recovery health buff, which he really liked.

...

After selecting the entry, Chen Qiu glanced at his panel.

"Name": Chen Qiu.

"Cultivation": Foundation Establishment Stage Level 2 (6%).

"Entries": Step by Step, Foundation Establishment Delay, Resentful Spirit Summoning, Flawed Individual, Spiritual Energy Intimidating, Dantian Expansion (Unique), Self-Destruction Term, Every Plant and Tree, Start from Scratch, Never Discouraged, Lumberjack Sacred Body, Alchemy Posture, Focused Power (Thunder Summoning Technique), Recovery Wind.

"Cultivation Technique": Earth Tunneling Technique, Misdirection Technique, Thunder Summoning Technique.

"Spirit Beast": None.

"Faction": Chao Tian Sect, Sect Master.

"Country": Da Xia Country.

-

He already had 14 entries; normally, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator without any special fortunes would have only about two entries at this time. Most of these entries were now useless, for example, "Start from Scratch" and "Never Discouraged", "Foundation Establishment Delay," these were entries that were only useful during the Qi Refinement Realm.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, they were completely useless.

They were the kind of entries he could detonate at any time; currently, the power released from his Self-Destruction Term was equivalent to a full-force strike from a second-level Golden Core, and he tried to conserve it as much as possible. After all, when he reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the power it could unleash would be equivalent to a full-force strike from a Golden Core Peak.

In some ways, it was considered an appreciating asset; as long as he lived long enough, the value of these things would only increase.

Aside from that, there were some other entries that were somewhat useful but could still be detonated.

Such as "Every Plant and Tree."

With each breakthrough in cultivation, it rewarded him three Spirit Stones; he just received three Spirit Stones after his recent breakthrough to the second level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, so it belonged to the kind that could be detonated after those other entries if needed.

After all, even a mosquito's meat is still meat.

Currently, he only had three spells.

"Earth Tunneling Technique" and "Misdirection Technique" were basic spells, almost all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, even if they did not know them, would definitely have some understanding of these basic spells, and both of his spells were at the stage of Great Achievement.

Produced in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, they were mastered to Great Achievement as he learned them.

The remaining one was his most frequently used "Thunder Summoning Technique", which under the effect of the Enlightenment Stone had reached the Great Perfection Realm, and its power was also very pleasing.

This was essentially all the means he currently possessed.

"...Hmm."

Chen Qiu stood in place, immersed in thought and not speaking. He lacked a Spiritual Treasure suitable for a Magic Practitioner; even though he had a sword type Spiritual Treasure, the problem was it was not suitable for a Magic Practitioner. After all, a Magic Practitioner couldn't be expected to swing a sword around all day, right?

That would be unfitting.

It would be a disgrace to the scholarly nature of Magic Practitioners.
