Chapter 142: "Do you two look like you have a fated connection?"

Chapter 142: "Do you two look like you have a fated connection?"

As the dark clouds suddenly appeared above the Endless Snow Mountain, the fluffy snowfall had just dispersed, and a torrential downpour followed closely behind!

Ten thousand lightning dragons roared and shot out from the dark clouds, striking the massive army of snowmen on the Endless Snow Mountain below!!!

"Boom!!"

Accompanying the deafening explosions, countless snowmen were blown to pieces, turning into snowflakes that once again covered the mountain's surface.

Most of the snowmen had cultivation spiritual energy fluctuations at the Foundation Establishment stage, with only a few scattered Golden Core cultivators. Under Chen Qiu's ten thousand lightning dragons, Golden Core cultivators below the fifth level were no different from Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At most, they could lock onto the Golden Core snowmen with their spirit sense and specifically target them with a few hundred more attacks.

Immediately after that—

The entire Endless Snow Mountain seemed to have turned into Chen Qiu's personal stage, as he continuously teleported in the sky, and his spiritual energy quickly recovered. He used it as soon as it was replenished, never waiting for it to reach its maximum.

Countless lightning dragons bombarded the mountainside.

The group of cultivators behind Chen Qiu, who were ready to lend a hand, remained silent in their original spots. It wasn't that they didn't want to help; they just felt it wasn't necessary. Their spells hadn't even hit the snowmen yet...

...when Chen Qiu's lightning dragons shattered them into pieces.

The lightning dragons didn't differentiate between friend and foe; anyone within their attack range became a target.

One kill for each.

Two kills for a pair.

Moreover, Chen Qiu's spiritual energy seemed inexhaustible, an infinite supply. Spell Cultivators were most lacking in spiritual energy, and once this limitation was removed, no matter how weak their spells were, they could unleash extremely powerful attacks.

Especially Chen Qiu's spells, which were not only powerful but also far surpassed those of ordinary cultivators by an unknown multiple.

Not to mention, they had never seen anyone's Lightning Summoning Art as thick as his.

Even the Heavenly Punishment didn't dare strike so fiercely; it was somewhat absurd.

"This is great."

Fat Dragon, standing at the foot of the mountain, held up an oil-paper umbrella and exclaimed with emotion, "When fighting alongside Brother Qiu, it's either windy or rainy, and sometimes it even snows."

"Romantic."

He had bodyguard spiritual energy, so the rain naturally couldn't wet his body.

But with such heavy rain, holding an oil-paper umbrella added to the atmosphere.

However, he soon no longer needed the umbrella. In the next moment, the strong wind tore his oil-paper umbrella and sent it flying into the sky, where it was shredded to pieces. The wind then carried the scraps and continued flying into the distance. There was no way an oil-paper umbrella could survive such a violent storm.

"It's good."

Just like that, Chen Qiu didn't know how long he had been fighting, but he knew it was already night.

It had even passed midnight.

The ten Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills he had for tonight had all been accounted for, and finally, when he could no longer see any more beasts, a voice rang out in his ear.

-

"Celestial Mandate Scroll": The Snow Clan invasion has concluded.

The Mock Heaven Sect Patriarch, Celestial Sage, and Peerless Celestial Talent, Chen Qiu, single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Snow Clan members, protecting all living beings.

His strength and magnanimity earned the admiration of all, and they hoped to follow his example.

-

As this voice sounded, it meant that the Snow Clan invasion had ended.

At the foot of the mountain, countless cultivators looked at Chen Qiu with complex expressions, unable to express their feelings. With Chen Qiu present, they didn't even have the courage to make a move, even though they had seen many recordings of Chen Qiu on Shadow Stones.

But only when you witness it with your own eyes...

...can you truly feel that oppressive might.

After ending the Snow Clan invasion, Chen Qiu didn't hesitate and rushed towards the mountain's base, picked up a few people standing there, and then soared towards the Endless Snow Mountain, entering the Little World at the mountainside.

"Brother Qiu."

Fat Dragon stood on the back mountain of the Mock Heaven Sect, furrowing his brows in confusion. "This time, after resolving the Snow Clan invasion, there's no reward? Isn't that a waste of effort?"

"No."

Chen Qiu took a deep breath, unable to suppress the slight curve of his lips, and looked towards the cloud-covered panel floating above his Dantian.

This Snow Clan invasion indeed didn't offer any rewards, and those Snow Clan members weren't even considered beasts, so they didn't increase his Dantian capacity. But it wasn't a complete loss, as killing the Snow Clan members increased his cultivation progress.

Before the Snow Clan invasion, his cultivation progress was at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage (94.3%).

But after resolving the Snow Clan crisis, his cultivation progress had reached—

-

"Cultivation": Sixth Level of the Golden Core Stage (70.0%).

-

Not only did his cultivation smoothly break through to the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, but he was also just one step away from the seventh level. He had just received ten more Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills, and at this rate, he would enter the seventh level of the Golden Core stage in a few days.

At that time, he would truly become a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

This reward was already very generous.

But at this moment—

A voice once again rang out in the ears of all cultivators in the Great Xia and the Hundred Nations.

-

"Celestial Mandate Scroll": The Heavenly Dao has sensed that during the Human Clan's four calamities—the Demon Clan invasion, Evil Clan invasion, Sea Clan invasion, and Snow Clan invasion—the Mock Heaven Sect Patriarch, Celestial Sage, and Peerless Celestial Talent, Chen Qiu, has displayed the might to turn the tide and earned the title of 'Human Clan's Guardian Deity'!

With his solitary strength, he protects all living beings.

Such a feat is rarely seen in the world.

Bestowing upon him a 'Celestial Talent Fortune', may all living beings follow his example.

"Hmm?"

Chen Qiu, who was meditating in the Little World, was startled by a voice in his ear, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had thought that the greatest gain from the Snow Clan's invasion was the advancement in his cultivation progress.

He never expected there to be more good things?

He first looked towards the one known as the 'Human Race Guardian', which, like the 'Celestial Sage', also possessed special effects.

"Heaven-bestowed Name": Human Race Guardian.

"Effect": You can clearly sense the ill intent of human cultivators towards you.

How to describe it, the effect is not bad, although it has nothing to do with combat power, but when dealing with petty people, no matter how they flatter on the surface, as long as they harbor ill intent, you can clearly sense it.

Not bad at all.

After all, it's free, so why not take it?

The only pity is that the green entry, "Decree Regular," promised that the rewards obtained from the Celestial Mandate Scroll would be doubled, but this Heaven-bestowed Name reward was not doubled.

He didn't mind having two.

Instead, the reward of a strand of 'Celestial Talent Fortune' was doubled.

He already had two strands of Celestial Talent Fortune, which he had obtained after attaining the Tenth Stage Golden Core. However, he had never known what the Celestial Talent Fortune was for, and those two strands had always transformed into two strands of red flowing light, circling around his Golden Core.

Unconsciously, Chen Qiu looked towards the Golden Core floating above his Dantian, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He already had two strands of Celestial Talent Fortune, and now he had gained two more. Logically, there should be four strands of light circling around the Golden Core.

But at this moment—

There were only two strands of light circling the Golden Core.

One was red, which he knew was the Celestial Talent Fortune.

But the other strand was golden, and he had no idea what it was.

What does this mean?

He had a vague guess about the situation; he estimated that the three strands of Celestial Talent Fortune had merged into one, automatically forming this golden light. However, he didn't know what this golden light was.

".

Although he was a bit speechless, Chen Qiu didn't mind. After all, he didn't know what the Celestial Talent Fortune was for, so he casually glanced at the panel of three choices that had just appeared after his cultivation breakthrough.

He prepared to choose the entry that could be selected after breaking through to the Sixth Stage Golden Core.

"Cultivation greatly increased, officially entering the Sixth Stage Golden Core."

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

1:

"Entry Name": Omniscience.

"Entry Level": Purple.

"Entry Effect": When you probe a Heaven-grade Treasure with your Spirit Sense, you can clearly understand its purpose.

2:

"Entry Name": Self-Sustaining.

"Entry Level": Yellow.

"Entry Effect": After your child is born, they will randomly appear within a million miles, and their initial entry will definitely be a yellow entry.

3:

"Entry Name": Male Thief, Female Prostitute.

"Entry Level": Yellow.

"Entry Effect": If you are a male cultivator, you will obtain a unique yellow entry for "Theft." If you are a female cultivator, you will obtain a unique yellow entry for "Prostitution."

Chen Qiu barely glanced at the choices and without hesitation, selected the first entry.

A purple entry.

This was his first purple entry.

Blue entries are higher in level than yellow ones, and purple entries are even higher than blue. This was the first time he had randomly obtained a purple entry. From a certain perspective, his luck in obtaining a purple entry at the Golden Core stage was quite good.

Moreover, this entry, "Omniscience," was exactly what he needed the most.

He currently had too many Heaven-grade Treasures.

Whether it was the Eight-Petaled Demon Lotus, the Eight Petal Vengeful Lotus, the Celestial Talent Fortune, or the mutated Celestial Talent Fortune, he was sure they were all good things, but he didn't know how to use them.

This greatly troubled him.

This entry could significantly solve his current problem.

As for the remaining two entries, he didn't even look at them; they were completely useless to him.

Soon after, he immediately looked towards the red flowing light of the Celestial Talent Fortune circling the Golden Core above his Dantian.

Before long—

A panel shrouded in clouds appeared above the Dantian.

"Treasure Name": A Strand of Celestial Talent Fortune.

"Acquisition Source": Synthesized from three strands of Earthly Talent Fortune, obtained from astonishing achievements in the Celestial Mandate Scroll, or winning the Celestial Talent Leader competition.

"Usage Effect":

1. Consuming one strand of Celestial Talent Fortune can increase luck to a certain extent within a cup of tea's time.

2. .

5. .

7. Three strands of Celestial Talent Fortune can be synthesized into one strand of Supreme Celestial Talent Fortune.

"Ah?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Qiu's eyes. He suddenly realized that his luck was indeed very good. Without the "Omniscience" entry, he might not have known the effect of the Celestial Talent Fortune for a very long time.

The effect is so powerful?

"Moreover, it is an essential material for forging a Twelfth Stage Primordial Spirit, and just this fact alone tells him that this treasure is no ordinary item.

Furthermore, by consuming a strand of Heaven's Pride Fortune, one can significantly increase their luck within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

This means that if he consumes a strand of Heaven's Pride Fortune during a cultivation breakthrough, he will most likely randomly obtain an extremely suitable and high-level entry, especially if he has accumulated many luck-based rewards.

If he were to activate all of them at once, he would be surrounded by nothing but treasures.

Through the seventh effect, he also roughly understood what that strand of golden light was and what the three strands of Heaven's Pride Fortune had combined to create—a strand of Peerless Celestial Talent Fortune.

-

Treasure Name: A Strand of Peerless Celestial Talent Fortune.

Acquisition Source: Synthesized from three strands of Heaven's Pride Fortune.

Usage Effects:

1. Consuming a strand of Peerless Celestial Talent Fortune can significantly increase luck within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

2. Essential material for forging a Twelfth Stage Primordial Spirit.

-

The acquisition source for a strand of Peerless Celestial Talent Fortune is evidently much more challenging, with only one channel available—it must be synthesized from three strands of Heaven's Pride Fortune, and he knows how difficult it is to synthesize Heaven's Pride Fortune.

Once, he forged a Tenth Stage Golden Core and obtained a strand of Heaven's Pride Fortune.

Another time, during the Four Great Invasions crisis, he made a significant contribution and obtained another strand of Heaven's Pride Fortune.

Moreover, this was only possible because he had the 'Decree Regular' entry, which doubled his rewards; otherwise, he would only have two strands of Heaven's Pride Fortune by now.

It took him so many nearly impossible achievements to barely gather a strand of Peerless Celestial Talent Fortune, and one can imagine that very few people, if any, possess this item.

Furthermore, a strand of 'Peerless Celestial Talent Fortune' has very limited uses, with only two purposes.

One is to significantly increase luck, and the other is to serve as an essential material for forging a Twelfth Stage Primordial Spirit.

'Huff!'

Chen Qiu exhaled deeply, his face filled with complex emotions as he looked inward at the golden light circling his Dantian. "You're such a valuable fellow, truly..."

"Something this valuable should be red, not golden. Red would look much better."

Without any delay, he immediately left the Little World with Fat Dragon and the others, and under the cover of darkness, they soared towards the Endless Snow Mountain. He didn't even bother to examine the effects of the 'Eight-Petaled Demon Lotus' and the 'Eight Petal Vengeful Lotus'.

After all, they were all inside the Little World and couldn't escape.

His top priority now was to explore the Endless Snow Mountain for treasures.

During the Snow Clan's invasion, while he was continuously bombarding the thunder dragons in the air, he noticed that as the long-accumulated snow blocks turned into snowmen, the mountain ridges that had been buried under heavy snow for thousands of kilometers began to reveal various medicinal herbs.

Medicinal herbs?

What kind of medicinal herbs could survive for over a thousand years under the heavy snow of a sealed mountain?

These couldn't be ordinary herbs; they must be valuable treasures.

Moreover, he saw many caves with signs of artificial excavation, which became visible as the snow melted. At that moment, he intentionally blocked the vision of the cultivators below.

Then, he waited for everyone to disperse before he would explore the area at his leisure.

By now, most people outside should have left, and this was the best time for him to go treasure hunting. After being sealed by heavy snow for so long, the mountain would reveal countless treasures as the snow melted.

However, just as he left the Little World and appeared on the mountainside, he released his spirit sense and discovered that although most cultivators had left, there were still seven or eight Golden Core Cultivators who shared the same idea as him, taking advantage of the darkness to climb the mountain in search of treasures.

Chen Qiu shook his head, not overly concerned.

He wasn't a selfish person.

These Heaven-grade Treasures often belonged to those with the right destiny; whoever obtained them had the fortune to do so. They couldn't be forced, and if these seven or eight Golden Core Cultivators were destined to find Heaven-grade Treasures, then that was their fate.

He wouldn't try to take away the opportunities that these cultivators had stumbled upon. At his core, he was still a peace-loving person.

Immediately after—

His spirit energy surged forth like it was free, and the 'Sky-Filling Snow' spell instantly covered an area of several hundred kilometers, enveloping the other Golden Core Cultivators. As the snowflakes fell onto their bodyguard spirit energy, the spirit energy within these cultivators began to freeze, visibly slowing down their absorption of spirit energy and their movement.

The longer they remained in the sky-filling snowfall, the slower they became.

Meanwhile, Chen Qiu, with his exaggerated spirit sense range, quickly located a spirit herb growing in a rock crevice and immediately transformed into a stream of light with Scholar, rushing towards it.

-

Treasure Name: Cold Sky Grass.

Acquisition Source: Grows in extremely cold places. Must be placed in a jade box within ten breaths after harvesting to preserve its medicinal properties.

Usage Effects:

1. Can be refined into a Golden Core low-grade pill, the Cold Heart Pill.

2. .

4. Chewing it raw can cure fire poison.

"What a treasure!"

With the 'Omniscient' entry, Chen Qiu, although unfamiliar with the spirit herb growing in the rock crevice, instantly understood the effects of this medicinal herb.

He couldn't help but smile, for even though this endless snow-capped mountain range spanning tens of thousands of miles had only a few thousand miles of snow melting, the exposed area was still less than one-thousandth of the entire mountain range.

But for him, it was already vast enough.

With so many good things, it was more than enough to fill his stomach.

Soon, his spirit sense locked onto another treasure, and Scholar once again swiftly darted towards it.

"Treasure Name: Ten Thousand Year Frost"

"Acquisition Source: Frost that has been frozen for ten thousand years without melting."

"Usage Effects:

1. After melting and consuming it, one's control and power over ice-based spells will significantly increase.

2. When used to brew tea, it will be of the Ultimate Grade."

"Hehe."

Chen Qiu laughed again, carefully placing this piece of Ten Thousand Year Frost, which was about half the size of his body, into his Heavenly Dao Ring. The entire piece of frost looked crystal clear and not a speck of dust could be seen on it.

It was perfect for brewing tea, and it would also enhance his control over ice-based spells, making his "Sky-Filling Snow" spell even more powerful.

Excellent!

Continue!

Another piece of Ten Thousand Year Frost, hey, and there's another one here.

Hey, something new.

"Treasure Name: Ten Thousand Year Cold Tea"

"Acquisition Source: A type of tea leaf that grows in the snow, the longer it grows, the better it tastes."

"Usage Effects:

1. After brewing and consuming it, it can slightly increase the cultivation progress of Golden Core Stage and below.

2. After brewing and consuming it, it can cure fire poison and dispel illusions.

3. Using Ten Thousand Year Frost to melt and brew it will yield the best results."

"Excellent, even more perfect, a perfect match."

Chen Qiu was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. As the snow melted, a large number of good things that had been buried underneath were now exposed. For example, the "Cold Tea" was originally just an ordinary tea leaf.

Although it was relatively rare due to its demanding growing environment, its price wasn't that high.

The main appeal was its excellent taste, and it didn't have any effects like increasing cultivation progress. Not to mention the claim that brewing and consuming it could cure fire poison and dispel illusions.

But the Ten Thousand Year Cold Tea was different; not only did it possess various miraculous effects, but its taste would also become even better.

The snow on this endless snow-capped mountain had been accumulating for ten thousand years. Even an ordinary herb that could survive under the snow for that long was definitely not an ordinary item. Even if it was ordinary before, it wasn't anymore.

Just like this "Cold Tea," which had already undergone a transformation!

"Remember to remind me," Chen Qiu said, turning his head towards Fat Dragon. "After we return to Fat State, find the best Artisan to craft the best teapot for me."

His tea leaves and spring water were of the highest quality.

The Ten Thousand Year Cold Tea and Ten Thousand Year Frost could be considered the finest tea leaves and spring water, and using an ordinary teapot to brew tea in this situation would be an insult to his tea leaves.

Moreover, ordinary fire couldn't be used; it had to be Spirit Fire.

It's like buying a good horse; if you buy a good horse but not a good saddle, what's the point of buying a good horse?

If it weren't for some wishful thinking, he wouldn't even want an Artisan-crafted teapot; he would want a Heavenly Dao Treasure instead.

Using a Heavenly Dao Treasure teapot to brew tea made from Ten Thousand Year Frost melted into spring water, tsk tsk, he dared not imagine how luxurious that would be.

Not only could he enjoy life, but he could also increase his cultivation progress and have a better taste, all in one go.

In the future, during his free time, he could sit on the mountain behind the Mock Heaven Sect, sip tea, reminisce about life, and contemplate the future while cherishing the present. What a wonderful life that would be!

Chen Qiu's spirit sense had a wide range, and Scholar's speed was fast. Combined with the large-scale "Sky-Filling Snow" spell, the few Golden Core Cultivators following behind were slowing down, and each time Chen Qiu's "Sky-Filling Snow" spell was about to end, he would cast it again.

The "Sky-Filling Snow" spell lasted for three hundred breaths, but Chen Qiu's recovery of spirit energy didn't take that long.

As a result, they had been following Chen Qiu for half a day without any gains, and their speed was getting slower and slower.

Seeing this situation continue, they felt like the spirit energy in their bodies was about to freeze, and they had no choice but to retreat, fearing for their lives.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qiu!"

Finally, a Hundred Kingdoms cultivator at the Fourth Level Golden Core Stage couldn't hold back any longer. His voice contained suppressed anger as he looked at Chen Qiu's back, who was halfway up the mountain, constantly putting good treasures into his spirit artifact. He spoke loudly, word by word.

"Since ancient times, heaven-grade treasures belong to those with fate!"

"You're being so tyrannical, taking all the heaven-grade treasures and putting them in your own possession, not even giving us a sip of soup. Don't you think you're going too far?"

"..."

Chen Qiu stood halfway up the mountain, his face filled with confusion as he turned to look at the Fourth Level Golden Core cultivator below. "If you think I'm going too far, why don't you come up and fight me?"

"Don't you dislike fighting?"

"And you're right, I've always believed that heaven-grade treasures belong to those with fate. I agree with your words."

"But..."

"Do you look like you have the fate to obtain these treasures?"
