Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chen Qiu then nodded in satisfaction; he was quite pleased with the entry this time, and his luck hadn't been bad.

As for the first entry "Free Body," a Purple Entry.

Choosing this entry meant no cultivator's Divine Sense could lock onto you, but similarly, you could not use Divine Sense to lock onto any cultivator either. It belonged to the top tier of entries for Body Cultivation, especially useful when facing Magic Practitioners and even talisman cultivators.

Being unable to be locked by Divine Sense meant that the opponent's spells and talismans would find it very difficult to hit you.

And Body Cultivators didn't really need to use Divine Sense for locking; just going fist to flesh, what need was there to lock onto anything? It could be said that for Body Cultivators, this was not a weakening but an enhancement.

Of course, the restriction on Magic Practitioners mentioned here limited most of them.

If it were him...

That would be a different matter altogether, since it had been a long time since he had used Divine Sense to lock onto someone. In most situations, he simply relied on intense, saturation-level blasting, when your firepower is strong enough, all aiming and locking are just wasting time and energy.

Only the weak need to lock onto their enemies.

The strong employ saturation assault!

The second entry, a Purple Entry "Resurrection," actually had a decent effect. Possessing this entry, you would revive after a hundred thousand years. This time frame wasn't too short or too long.

There used to be a White "Resurrection" entry; it had the same name, but its effect allowed for revival only after trillions of years. This one with a hundred thousand years significantly shortened that time.

He suspected there must be higher-grade Resurrections, such as Red, Golden, Seven-colored.

And for such grades of Resurrection, the waiting time for revival might be reduced to ten thousand years, a thousand years, or even a hundred years.

Suppose there really was a Seven-colored entry, with the effect of reviving a hundred years after death.

Would this entry be considered weak or strong?

If you said it was weak, yet it possesses an ability that no other entry has – the ability to defy destiny and live another life. This was not the same as his nine reincarnations; this was true revival.

It meant that even if your Divine Soul perished, as long as you possessed this entry beforehand, you could still revive.

But to say it was strong, after all, a Seven-colored entry had no effect during one's life, only functioning after death, not providing any help on the Cultivation Path, just giving you a chance to start over.

"..."

Chen Qiu shook his head, dismissing further thoughts on this, and with a thought, activated the entry "Time will come," re-screened the first entry, and thus spent 100,000 merit points.

He had made up his mind to choose the third entry, Divine Hand.

No matter what entry he randomly got, he would basically choose this entry, as it represented a Supreme Entry that perfectly suited him, unless... he could randomly get something even better than a perfectly suited Supreme Entry this time.

But that chance was too small.

The reason he re-screened was simply to see if he could randomly get an entry he had never seen before, then add it to the "Entry Encyclopedia." He had handed the Entry Encyclopedia over to the scholar for safekeeping. In the future, any entry he randomly got, unless it needed to be kept strictly confidential, would be told to the scholar who would record it into the Entry Encyclopedia.

That way, once he collected enough information on entries, he would also own a personally compiled Entry Encyclopedia.

Soon—

The panel in front of him, shrouded in mists, began to blur slowly on the first entry option, then quickly resurfaced with a brand new entry.

-

'Entry Name': Alchemy Immortal.

'Entry Level': Purple.

'Entry Effect': At the beginning of each year, you need to roll a die with six faces, ranging from one to six points. If you roll a six, then your cultivation speed for the coming year is three times faster, but your spell power and physical strength are reduced to 30%. If you roll a one, then over the next year, your cultivation speed reduces to 30%, but your spell power and physical strength increase threefold. Rolls of two, three, four, five follow suit.

-

It was just one breath away from ten breaths.

Sitting cross-legged on the Xuantian Throne, Chen Qiu didn't think further; he quickly selected the third entry "Divine Hand," and then recorded the 'Alchemy Immortal' entry into the Jade Scroll in his hand, ready to pass it to the scholar after this retreat for compilation and organization.

This entry also depended somewhat on luck; if one rolled a six, the cultivation speed would triple for the next year, but both spell power and physical strength would be accordingly reduced to 30%.

It reduced to 30%, not reduced by 30%.

The difference between those two was significant.

If one rolled a one, then the reverse would happen.

This entry was actually quite interesting; when your cultivation speed had a significant enhancement, your combat power was greatly reduced, whereas when your cultivation speed was reduced significantly, your combat power skyrocketed.

If you rolled a four, five, or six, you could confidently devote the year to secluded cultivation, not bothering with anything else, as your combat ability was weakened, so going out would make you no match for others.

And if you rolled a one, two, or three, just come out of seclusion, what's the point in cultivating when your speed is reduced to 30%? With enhanced combat power, head to the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm to seize opportunities.
