Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"Very good."

Chen Qiu stood up with a satisfied expression, familiarizing himself with the surging Spiritual Energy within his body. At the same time, he made up his mind that, aside from preparing for next year's Heavenly Pride Leaderboard and collecting materials for the Golden Core of the tenth grade,

there was another important matter.

That was, he needed to kill more demon beasts to allow his Tao Foundation to accommodate more Spiritual Energy.

This year, if he went to participate in the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard and played all his trump cards, with a bit of luck, there was indeed a chance of making it into the top three.

But if he went again next year, by that time, it would be a total annihilation!

He stopped thinking about these matters and instead used introspection to look inside his body, where the familiar panel enveloped by clouds and mist reappeared above his Dantian.

"Cultivation has greatly increased, officially stepping into the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage."

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

1:

"Entry name": Betting everything twice.

"Entry level": Green.

"Entry effect": All your entries will be randomly replaced with entries of the same level, including this entry and the Grey entries, excluding those that cannot be cleared.

2:

"Entry name": Unbearable pain.

"Entry level": Grey.

"Entry effect": Your sense of pain will increase fivefold, and all your attacks will also cause the enemy to experience five times the amount of pain.

3:

"Entry name": Resurrection.

"Entry level": White.

"Entry effect": When you die, your Residual Soul will wander the underworld without consciousness, and after a trillion years, you will be resurrected.

"..."

"What a Resurrection."

Chen Qiu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he looked at the third entry.

Hard to evaluate.

He was even somewhat at a loss for how to evaluate it. From a certain perspective, this entry was very strong—after all, it was the first he had seen that offered resurrection. But the problem was... isn't that time span a bit too long?

A trillion years?

By that time, let alone enemies or family, it was uncertain whether the Continent itself would still exist.

But as the ten breaths were about to end, he still chose the "Resurrection" entry. The reason was that of the three entries, it was the only one with no side effects, which made it perfectly suitable as a Fusion material.

The first entry could go as far away as possible. He was quite satisfied with his current set of entries and didn't want to change any of them.

Even if there were no weak Seven-colored terms, and perhaps "Step by Step" could be traded for a Seven-colored term that could boost his combat power in an instant, he wasn't interested.

To put it bluntly,

even "Hundred-layered Spellcasting" or the possibly existing "Thousand-layered Spellcasting" Seven-colored terms, to him, were not as valuable as "Step by Step," an entry with high growth potential, especially suitable for someone with low Cultivation like himself.

However, once he could step into the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in the future, "Step by Step" would lose its usefulness, and he wouldn't mind trading it for a Seven-colored term if he had the chance.

As for the second entry, it was purely a negative entry for him.

Actually, the enemies who died by his hand were quite fortunate; they didn't feel any pain at all and were basically instantly disintegrated. With thousands of Thunder Dragons surging over, the enemies had no chance to feel any pain.

Which meant that for him, it was purely about making himself feel five times more pain, which was pointless.

He was no masochist, so why would he want such pain?

...

Originally planning to continue increasing his Cultivation, Chen Qiu glanced at the remaining 251 Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills and found them insufficient for his breakthrough to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. However, there was only a little more than an hour left until nightfall.

When that time came, another batch of Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills would be bestowed.

By then, it should be just about enough.

If the Fame Ranking continued for a few more days, he calculated that he would be able to enter the peak of Foundation Establishment Cultivation right when the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard began. Afterward, he could start preparing for Core Formation.

...

...

Chen Qiu, expressionless and silent, turned around to look at Fat Long Scholar and the others behind him. He had originally wanted to try out the perpetual motion machine idea he had in mind,

to have Fat Long and the others stab him with their swords from behind to continuously replenish his Spiritual Energy when he needed to be a mobile turret.

But in the actual practice, he discovered a flaw.

That was...

Under the "Slippery" entry, every time he was attacked, he would automatically Teleport—an uncontrollable effect, rendering the perpetual motion machine plan a failure.

He couldn't possibly blow up this entry; it was one of the few movement techniques he had.

He had wanted to learn the "Golden Light Underground" spell from his senior, but was told it couldn't be passed on. Although he wasn't given a specific reason, it was explained that the spell involved transforming seawater into a dragon, which was manipulating nature's Spiritual Energy—a Nascent Soul method beyond his current abilities.

Once you reach Nascent Soul, you can also command nature's Spiritual Energy to fight for you.

As a result, his current movement techniques were still limited to these two tools: Slippery and Shrinking Earth to Inches.

Both were random.

"Teach me Sword Flight."

Chen Qiu, abandoning the perpetual motion machine idea for the moment, turned to the scholar.

In theory, Sword Flight should have been learned right after entering the first level of Foundation Establishment, but he had advanced in Cultivation too quickly, and one thing after another had kept him extremely busy, leaving no time to learn these skills that all low-level Foundation Establishment Cultivators know.

"Okay."

...

Perhaps it was due to his natural talent as a Sword Cultivator, or maybe because of his current capacity for Spiritual Energy and the fine control he had over it, the Sword Flight technique seemed too elementary for him. In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea,
