Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"You... You're domineering!"

Chen Qiu's words left the Golden Core cultivators, who had been ready to follow and reap the benefits, trembling with frustration.

They couldn't beat him.

And they didn't dare to curse him either.

The other party was in a good mood at the moment, using the "Snowfall," a crowd control spell. If his mood turned sour later, tens of thousands of Thunder Summoning Techniques might come raining down, which would be a completely different problem.

Even the "Snowfall," a control spell that hardly caused any damage, was hard to withstand for too long. Stay too long and not only would one's Spiritual Energy be completely frozen, but their life could also be at risk.

So—

These Golden Core cultivators, who could be considered tyrannical and used to getting their way wherever they went, exchanged glances, cursed silently in their hearts, and immediately turned into streaks of light, fleeing far away without looking back.

They were all old predecessors with lifespans of several hundred years.

To be so strongly challenged by a junior whose bones weren't even thirty years old was definitely frustrating, but there was nothing they could do. In the world of cultivation, strength was king.

It wasn't about who lived longer.

They could only sigh deeply in their hearts.

The era that belonged to them had truly passed—or perhaps, it had never belonged to them at all.

...

"Chen Qiu has already reached the fifth level of Golden Core Cultivation."

In the Capital, within the Caotian Sect, the Sect Master of Caotian Sect listened absentmindedly to the news from the Boundless Snow Mountain, not quite understanding why some could cultivate so quickly.

Back in the day.

The Spiritual Energy within Caotian Sect was considered abundant. When he first stepped into the realm of Golden Core, his ambitions were high. He built a Spirit Gathering Array with a large number of Mid-grade Spirit Stones to improve his Cultivation, and he also purchased Golden Core Cultivation Pills at a high price. Even so, it took him a year and a half of painstaking cultivation to reach the second level of Golden Core.

But Chen Qiu—

How could he progress so rapidly?

Almost every time he heard news about Chen Qiu, the latter's Cultivation had grown immensely, so much so that it seemed unreasonable, as if all Chen Qiu needed to do was eat and sleep and his Cultivation would naturally increase.

He had spent a total of more than forty Mid-grade Spirit Stones at that time.

Once he reached the second level of Golden Core, his high spirits gradually dissipated. Spending so many Mid-grade Spirit Stones did not increase his Cultivation significantly faster; it also depleted much of his own foundation. Although he still had some Mid-grade Spirit Stones left, he was no longer willing to use them to set up a Spirit Gathering Array for advancing his Cultivation.

And so, he just settled.

Many didn't understand why a Golden Core cultivator would just settle. When you know that you'll never reach the realm of Nascent Soul in this lifetime, and you've seen countless stronger Heavenly Prides, and spending a large number of Mid-grade Spirit Stones still leaves you with slow Cultivation progress—

You'd just settle too, thinking that's good enough for life.

Just like that.

He had spent a year and a half advancing from the first to the second level of Golden Core, but it took him over fifty years to move from the second to the current fourth level of Golden Core. While part of the reason was his reluctance to use Mid-grade Spirit Stones again—

The more important reason—

Was that with each higher level of the nine levels of Golden Core, the speed of Cultivation advancement would become extremely slow.

If he remembered correctly—

Chen Qiu should be the first person in nearly a hundred years to reach the fifth level of Golden Core Cultivation before the age of thirty.

Perhaps, this is the significance of an unparalleled Heavenly Pride, always causing other prides and even the old predecessors to often feel ashamed. The only consolation was that he had a good relationship with Chen Qiu, who had even exchanged a few smiling words with him last time.

This honor was truly rare.

As far as he knew—

There weren't many who were still alive after talking with Chen Qiu, let alone sharing laughter in conversation.

If the Caotian Sect ever faced a calamity in the future, if he thickened his skin and sought out Chen Qiu, Chen Qiu probably wouldn't just stand by and watch. After all, what might be a sect-destroying catastrophe for Caotian Sect would probably be a trivial matter for Chen Qiu.

"Sigh."

Thinking of this—

The Sect Master of Heaven Sect couldn't help but sigh deeply with a complex expression, sending out his Divine Sense to look at Zhao Yishi not far away on the back mountain. Using his Disguise Skill to lie in the forest, pretending to be a natural hot spring, he let the female disciples of his sect swim to their heart's content in his mouth.

Life was truly unpredictable.

The first time he heard the name Chen Qiu was long ago, when Chen Qiu was still in Fufeng City. He learned of Chen Qiu from Zhao Yishi, being criticizing for Zhao's former cowardice in battle.

The first time he saw Chen Qiu's image was during the demon invasion of Fufeng City. At that time, Chen Qiu was only at the Foundation Establishment level, standing on a Flying Sword and slaughtering Demon Clan cultivators with the Thunder Summoning Technique as if mowing down grass.

The first time he met Chen Qiu in person was in Fei City of Fei State, by which time Chen Qiu had already started making a name for himself, having obtained the inheritance of a Magic Practitioner that no one had claimed for a thousand years. When they met, Chen Qiu was already at the eight level of Foundation Establishment.

In front of him, Chen Qiu was rather humble, calling himself a junior. That was the first time he heard Chen Qiu refer to himself as a junior in front of him, and it would probably be the last. The next time they met, it might be him who would have to call himself the junior.

At that time, even though Chen Qiu was only at the eight level of Foundation Establishment and saw him at the fourth level of Golden Core, there wasn't much fear in his eyes, he was neither servile nor overbearing, as if he was confident that he could counterattack even if he were attacked.

When he saw Chen Qiu again, Chen Qiu had already become famous, having achieved the fifth-grade Heavenly Dao Top Grade Golden Core. He had broken through to the first level of Golden Core, officially becoming one of Da Xia Country's famed Heavenly Prides!
