Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"..."

The young brown bear, with an expressionless face, pulled its head out of the desert and sat on the sands, gazing at the setting sun on the horizon. All around him, the excited voices of his tribespeople celebrating the bountiful harvest of Spirit Rice filled the air, yet he remained silent and unmoving.

The joys and sorrows between individuals are often disconnected.

It is the same among brown bears.

The Endless Desert is no ordinary desert; its sands, baked under the intense sun, would instantly roast a seed placed within them, even at night. To cultivate rice in such an environment would indeed be astonishing.

Naturally, it was he who stealthily planted the Spirit Rice while all his tribespeople slept, thus creating an illusion that he led his people to a miraculous harvest, which, while solidifying their unity, also cemented his position as the Young Clan Leader.

But now...

It seemed he had strayed a bit off course.

Or perhaps these brown bears held no great animosity towards Da Xia Country. In the eyes of these brown bears, the demon beasts, still void of Spiritual Wisdom, were fundamentally different from themselves; no matter how many of these demon beasts were killed, they felt no pity. They even killed and devoured them themselves.

In such a case, to train an army of their own from the Devil Clan, he needed to think of another way. Explore more stories with empire

"..."

The young brown bear looked down at his fluffy bear paws for a moment and then lifted his gaze towards the edge of the desert's sunset, muttering to himself.

"If I weren't a transmigrator, I might live in obscurity."

"But since heaven has given me this opportunity to change the world,"

"If I don't achieve something significant—"

"How could I face my hometown and elders."

...

In Fei City, within Fei Country.

Chen Qiu was sitting cross-legged on the bed of an inn's room, introspecting above his Dantian where a panel, enshrouded in mist, appeared after he broke through to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. He had yet to choose his new entry.

-

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

"Please choose one of the three random entries below within ten breaths."

1:

"Entry name": If not mad, then not alive.

"Entry level": White.

"Entry effect": When you feel pain, you will slowly recover from your injuries. The more intense the pain your body endures, the faster you will heal.

2:

"Entry name": Lunar Night Demon Wolf.

"Entry level": Green.

"Entry effect": When you sign a Beast Taming Contract with the first 'Lunar Night Demon Wolf,' its size will increase tenfold, and it will be able to absorb Moonlight Essence for cultivation.

3:

"Entry name": Real and Illusion.

"Entry level": Green.

"Entry effect": Every time you launch a spell attack, it will automatically generate an Illusion of the attack that cannot cause any damage and cannot be discerned by Divine Sense.

-

Chen Qiu slightly squinted his eyes at the three entries before him. To be honest, he was a bit tempted to choose "If not mad, then not alive," the White-level entry, mainly because it could combo with another entry he had.

"Man of Heavenly Defect."

This entry could significantly enhance the sense of pain when one closed their eyes or was blinded.

And the entry he got randomly when he broke through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Unbearable pain."

The pain endured is increased by five times but will also make the enemy's pain feel five times greater with each attack.

He did not choose it at the time, but he still had one Heavenly Dao Retrospective Talisman he hadn't used yet, and he could completely pick the entry he had passed up on if he wanted to. However, it seemed somewhat unnecessary; amplifying the sense of pain only increased the speed of his physical injury recovery.

It overlapped a bit with his set of entries.

Currently, he didn't really need to enhance the speed at which he healed from physical injuries.

It seemed like an entry more suited for Body Cultivation practitioners, like... Zhao Yishi.

"Man of Heavenly Defect" + "Unbearable pain" + "If not mad, then not alive", and if one is more ruthless, blinding oneself or being born blind, they might be able to withstand a demon tide and fight their way through.

If the enemy also has the "Unbearable pain" entry, the attack inflicted on you would make your pain increase by another five times.

One could potentially withstand a rain of swords and advance boldly, but... it would probably be quite painful.

"..."

Chen Qiu shook his head and eventually gave up on the "If not mad, then not alive" entry set. This set had quite a large drawback. Not to mention anything else, the human capacity to endure pain has limits; if the pain is too intense, even with a firm will, one is likely to faint from the pain.

If one were to be afflicted by some extremely painful poison or curse,

It was not impossible to die purely from pain.

He still had one chance to use a Mid-grade Heavenly Dao Retrospective Talisman, and if he didn't use it now, it would be useless after advancing to the Golden Core Stage. Since "If not mad, then not alive" was out,

That left only "Lunar Night Demon Wolf" and "Real and Illusion" to choose from.

He quite liked "Real and Illusion"; doubling his future Thunder Dragon attack with half of them real and half illusions, it would take quite some time to discern them. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of the impact on morale, it would be a significant boost.

And "Lunar Night Demon Wolf" seemed to be a top-tier entry in "Cultivation Hundred Skills" under the category of "Beast Taming."

With this entry, as long as he signed a Beast Taming Contract with a Lunar Night Demon Wolf, his strength would significantly increase. But it wasn't very useful for him; he didn't really need it.

Could he handle a Lunar Night Demon Wolf if he encountered one?

Nevertheless, since it was a rare entry that he had not seen before, he'd see if he could encounter a "Lunar Night Demon Wolf" before his Core Formation Stage. If he did, he would keep the entry for it; if not, he would just use the entry as Core Formation Material.
