Chapter 2: Entry Name - Continuous Growth
Chapter 2: Entry Name - Continuous Growth
"Alright."
Fat Dragon took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Both of us are from the same world, so we're like family in this strange place. It seems you're not familiar with this world yet, or you wouldn't have mentioned the term 'cultivation talent.' Let me give you a brief overview."
"This is a cultivation world."
"But it's slightly different from the ones we read about in cultivation novels. In this world, there's no such thing as talent. Anyone can cultivate as long as they're willing. Or rather, it depends on the initial entry you receive."
"Entry?"
"Exactly!"
Fat Dragon nodded emphatically, "This world is like a massive cultivation game. Mystic realms even have fixed opening times, and there are various rankings, such as the Celestial Talent Rankings, Beauty Rankings, and Cultivation Rankings."
"From time to time, regional announcements appear, clearly stating when and where adventures will occur, attracting countless cultivators to gather at those locations."
"There are also things like the Sect Establishment Order, City Establishment Order, and Nation Establishment Order. And when you're wanted, your name will turn red above your head."
"As for me, I've just broken through to the sixth layer of the Qi Condensation Stage. I've been in this world for almost five months now."
"When I first obtained an entry, I thought it was my lucky break, but later I found out that everyone has one."
"Everyone who breaks through the first layer of the Qi Condensation Stage can obtain an entry. This entry is completely random, and it's usually the lowest-tier white entry. For example, the Lumberjack Saint Body, which allows you to chop wood much faster than others."
"Or the Medicine Sage entry, which increases the survival rate of Spirit Herbs. It's not very suitable for cultivation but can help you become an alchemist."
"Basically, the entry obtained at the first layer of the Qi Condensation Stage determines the future career path of most ordinary people."
"Most entries obtained at the first layer of the Qi Condensation Stage are unrelated to combat power. They are foundational in nature. Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage do you have the chance to obtain some powerful entries. Many ordinary cultivators who break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and get incredibly lucky with an exceptional entry suddenly soar in strength."
"After the Qi Condensation Stage, every time you break through a major realm, you can choose one of three random entries. For example, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Period, and Nascent Soul Period."
"To survive in this world, you must become an immortal. Otherwise, even someone with my cultivation level could easily kill you. Think about it; isn't that dangerous?"
Chen Qiu nodded, though he didn't understand why a cultivator at the sixth layer of the Qi Condensation Stage would be so cautious. However, he didn't agree that Fat Dragon could kill him effortlessly.
He kept these thoughts to himself and didn't argue. He had a rough understanding of this world now—it was like a game, but also real, a fusion of gaming and the immortal cultivation world.
"What was your entry when you broke through the first layer of the Qi Condensation Stage?"
"Well..."
Fat Dragon's face suddenly turned slightly troubled. After a long hesitation, he sighed, "Never mind, it's fine to show you. My luck wasn't great, or I wouldn't have planned to establish a sect to aid my cultivation."
Fat Dragon waved his hand, and a semi-transparent panel, shrouded in clouds, suddenly appeared in mid-air. This display of power was indeed reminiscent of an immortal's ability.
Entry Name: Nine Bulls Strength.
Entry Level: White.
Entry Effect: Possess the strength of nine bulls.
". . ."
Chen Qiu's mouth hung open in disbelief for a long moment before he muttered, "What does possessing the strength of nine bulls mean? It can't be literal, can it?"
"Hmm."
Fat Dragon nodded irritably. The first entry one received essentially determined one's career path, but he had been randomly assigned this particular entry, which annoyed him every time he thought about it.
"Can I... see it in action?" he asked hesitantly.
"What do you think?" Fat Dragon replied.
"Never mind, then."
Although Fat Dragon was irritated, he took a deep breath and calmly explained, "It's simple to reach the first layer of the Qi Condensation Stage. You just need to practice inner visualization. As long as you calm your mind and focus, trying to see your body's meridians in the darkness, you'll succeed."
"This one's free."
"Every city's lord's mansion offers this free service. They'll give you a bowl of potion to drink, and then help you with inner visualization, allowing you to smoothly obtain your first entry. But as the saying goes, free things often come with a hefty price."
"If you happen to randomly get an entry like 'Demonic Cultivation' or 'Deviant Cultivation,' which aren't exactly positive, congratulations, you'll be beheaded on the spot."
"If you randomly get an entry like 'Spirit Herb Cultivation' or 'Spirit Beast Cultivation,' congratulations, you'll soon be grabbed by some cultivation sects and spend your life doing these tasks in their sect."
"Of course, if you get some other normal entries, the government will recommend suitable paths for you."
"These are the paths taken by the poor. Many still choose to buy their own potions and test their first entry themselves, at least avoiding life-threatening situations."
"I happen to have a bottle of potion here. As fellow countrymen, I see that you're quite smart. I'll give you this potion as a gift. Will you acknowledge me as your boss and follow me from now on?"
". . ."
Chen Qiu didn't say anything; he just looked at the damaged porcelain bottle in Fat Dragon's hand, pondering for a moment before taking the bottle and downing its contents.
In the blink of an eye, he felt his head become dizzy, his eyelids closing involuntarily, and his body going soft.
At the same time, a loud shout reached his ears.
"Sit cross-legged steadily, close your eyes and focus your mind!"
Chen Qiu followed the instructions, and after a few breaths, he suddenly felt a faint light appear in the darkness. He stared intently, and the light seemed to grow more distant, then suddenly exploded, and for a moment, he clearly saw the meridians within his body.
At the same time, a panel appeared before his eyes, enveloped in clouds, visible only to him.
"Significant cultivation increase, officially entering Qi Condensation Period Level 1."
"First Random Entry Acquisition."
"Random Hit."
"Random Success, Entry Name 'Continuous Growth'."
---
"Entry Name": Continuous Growth.
"Entry Level": Seven Colors.
"Entry Effect": Every time you advance to a minor cultivation realm, you can obtain one entry, and each time three random entries will appear, from which you can freely choose one.
---
"How is it?"
As Chen Qiu slowly opened his eyes, Fat Dragon couldn't help but lean in, his eyes filled with anticipation. "How is it? Is the entry related to combat power? Usually, the first entry has a low probability of being combat-related."
"But if you're lucky enough to get an entry related to combat power, you can smoothly transition to the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
"After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, every time you choose an entry, three random entries will appear, and you can freely select the most suitable one for yourself."
"Once you reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, you'll be a true immortal!"
"Irrelevant," Chen Qiu said after a moment of silence, shaking his head. "Consider it a late-game entry; it's not very useful early on."
He didn't elaborate.
Fat Dragon didn't press further.
At this moment, Chen Qiu also discovered that after his cultivation breakthrough to Qi Condensation Period Level 1, he could see within his body a panel floating above his meridians, also enveloped in clouds.
---
"Name": Chen Qiu.
"Cultivation": Qi Condensation Period Level 1 (0%).
"Entry": Continuous Growth.
"Art of Cultivation": None.
"Spirit Beast": None.
"Faction": None.
"Nation": Daxia Nation.
---
At this moment, his physical strength was almost indistinguishable from before, and his only means of attack remained the somewhat worn-out hatchet he carried. This didn't quite align with his stereotypical impression of cultivation.
Just then—
A heavenly voice suddenly rang out in the ears of the two.
"Heavenly Dao Decree: In response to the sincere call of a resident, the Heavenly Dao bestows a blessing. A Celestial Path Secret Realm will appear in the bamboo forest three miles east of Fufeng City in the Daxia Nation, accessible only to cultivators at the Qi Condensation Stage Level 6 and below.
The entrance will open immediately and close at sunset."
