Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"I hope you can understand, it's not that the Sect is heartless, but when the Sect invests so many resources in cultivating you, it's definitely in the hope that you will repay the Sect in the future. However, you... have been avoiding battle too much."

"The elders see no hope in you."

"They feel that instead of investing in you, it would be better to allocate the resources to others who, although less talented than you, are more willing to fight their way up."

"Hmm."

Zhao Yishi shook his head, his eyes showing no sadness: "It's okay, as long as I have enough to eat."

"Sigh."

The Sect Master of Caotian Sect let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly: "Perhaps you are really not suited for the path of cultivation, but even so, you will always be my direct disciple. I will push you to the Golden Core stage with all my strength. At least when you step into the Golden Core stage and someone attacks the Sect, you will step out to protect it, right?"

Zhao Yishi was someone he had picked up.

There was a secret he hadn't told anyone: the first time he saw Zhao Yishi, Zhao's stature was nearly twelve meters tall, far surpassing that of an ordinary person. At that time, Zhao Yishi looked like a middle-aged man, but for some reason, his thinking seemed very simple.

At that time, Zhao Yishi already had the "Heaven-reaching Giant" Pink Entry, but according to him, he had never killed a demon beast, and he was this tall after reaching adulthood.

He completely sealed off this information.

Only he knew about it.

That's why he had always, against the pressure of the Sect elders, tilted a vast amount of resources towards Zhao Yishi, because he always felt that there might be something in Zhao's body that was extremely suitable for Body Cultivation, such as bloodline.

Otherwise, how could a normal person be nearly twelve meters tall?

But so much time had passed, and no miracles had occurred in Zhao Yishi. He was also starting to falter under the pressure exerted by the Sect elders. Perhaps it was really just... a common natural variant.

...

"Why, why!!!"

At this moment, within the Qu Family Courtyard in the Capital.

The young master of the Qu Family, Qu Qi, was currently smashing one porcelain piece after another with a ferocious expression, hysterically asking his father: "Why can Chen Qiu, a mere Loose Cultivator, have a Fifth-grade Golden Core?"

"And I can only have a Third-grade Golden Core?"

"Didn't you say that aside from the emperor, a Third-grade Golden Core was already the strongest?!!"

"Shut up!"

The Qu Family Master, with a cold and gloomy face, slapped him across the face. The raging Qu Qi was immediately sent flying and hit a corner, covering his reddened cheek with resentment in his eyes as he glared bitterly at the Qu Family Master.

Ignoring Qu Qi, the master took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the complex emotions in his heart. To tell the truth, Chen Qiu's sudden breakthrough to Fifth-grade Golden Core had disrupted many of his plans.

He had never thought someone could forge a Fifth-grade Golden Core.

He had once contemplated forging a Fourth-grade Golden Core for Qu Qi and had spent a vast amount of Spirit Stones to learn a secret from within the palace.

-

"Fourth-grade Golden Core": Using the body of a Nascent Soul as fusion materials, one can forge a Fourth-grade Golden Core.

-

To forge a Fourth-grade Golden Core, one needs the body of a Nascent Soul.

He almost instantly abandoned the plan of forging a Fourth-grade Golden Core for Qu Qi. Where in Da Xia could one find a Nascent Soul, let alone a Nascent Soul body? Oh, it's not like there aren't any, everyone knows that each of the Four Forbidden Lands contains a Nascent Soul.

But who dares to go? Or who can defeat a Nascent Soul?

Although he was not clear how the emperor got his Fourth-grade Golden Core and from where he obtained the Nascent Soul body, he was absolutely certain about one thing: there was practically no chance of forging a Fourth-grade Golden Core. The Third-grade Golden Core for Qu Qi was already the limit.

Even he himself was only a Second-grade Golden Core.

When he stepped into the Golden Core stage, the Qu Family had not fully prospered yet, and they didn't have the ability to allow him to forge a Third-grade Golden Core.

The conditions for a Fourth-grade Golden Core were so strict.

He could hardly imagine how stringent the conditions for a Fifth-grade Golden Core must be, let alone how Chen Qiu managed to attain the Fifth-grade Heavenly Dao Golden Core. He was already uncertain about what to do, and seeing Qu Qi's behavior made him even more irritable.

A Golden Core was already a mighty being!

How could a Golden Core like Qu Qi be so, encountering troubles and then wailing and lashing out, constantly smashing things—a complete lack of dignity!

Had his way of educating all these years been completely wrong?

...

Meanwhile, in the guest room in the back courtyard of the Qu Family.

Qu Family's Supreme Elder was lying on the bed, leisurely picking up a green grape and putting it in his mouth, listening to the smashing noises coming from next door with delight. He was happy; the heavenly sign just now had extended his life by half a year.

Do not underestimate this half-year.

This meant that, along with his original remaining lifespan, he could now live for another year and a half.

Perhaps he could wait for someone to break the Nascent Soul barrier, and he could then attain Nascent Soul with them, significantly extending his remaining life and officially starting his brand new life.

Sometimes he felt his luck was not as good as Qu Qi's.

Both were transmigrators.

He didn't have Qu Qi's luck, he didn't have as much remaining life as Qu Qi, he didn't enjoy as many resources within the family as Qu Qi did.

But sometimes.

He felt that his luck was much better than Qu Qi's, at least... he didn't have to do anything, just lay in bed every day and patiently wait, without the qualification to strive.

Either wait to die or wait to attain Nascent Soul.

Just these two paths.

No need for him to make a choice; life suddenly became a lot easier.

...

"..."

At this time, Chen Qiu was peacefully cultivating inside Fat City Inn, while the scholar was also cultivating in the next room. Chen Qiu still had some Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills left in his Storage Ring, which he didn't need anymore; he gave them all to the scholar.
