Chapter 245: Auto Gavel, Idle Buddha Worship!

Chen Qiu stared at the third term that appeared on the mist-shrouded panel before him, his expressionless gaze revealing his uncertainty on how to evaluate it. It seemed he could only choose the second term.

"Herd of Beasts."

This term granted the ability to randomly assign a term to a summoned creature.

"Term Name: Nightly Melodies."

"Term Level: Pink."

"Term Effect: Your cultivation progress gained through any means after sharing a room with a thousand members of the opposite sex from the same race will be amplified by one fold. Upon selecting this term, you will no longer be able to acquire any other terms."

The pink term often indicated unlimited growth potential, and this particular one was related to cultivation speed. However, it didn't enhance cultivation speed directly but amplified the progress gained through any means by a factor of one.

This meant that whether it was through dual cultivation, deception using the white term "Nonsense," or even absorbing spiritual Qi for cultivation, the progress would be amplified.

This amplification was far more powerful than a simple increase in cultivation speed.

It was like the difference between a small king and a great king.

This term was also considered a top-tier term for dual cultivation. With one thousand members of the opposite sex, the progress would be tenfold; with ten thousand, it would be a hundredfold; and with one million, it would be a thousandfold! If one shared a room with one hundred million members of the opposite sex, the progress would be a terrifying ten million times faster!

What did this even mean?

A day of cultivation for you would be equivalent to a hundred thousand days for others!

This was the cultivation speed of a peerless heavenly prodigy!

If one shared a room with a billion members of the opposite sex, the progress would be a million times faster. You would surpass even the peerless heavenly prodigy, becoming the Son of the Heavenly Dao in this era!

Even if he couldn't acquire any more terms afterward, what of it? As long as the cultivation speed was fast, he could rapidly increase his cultivation and directly suppress others with his realm. Of course, he wouldn't be able to defeat those at the same cultivation level; that was without question. But given some time, his cultivation would leap through several major realms, allowing him to continue dominating those at his previous cultivation level.

This was indeed a powerful term.

Even Chen Qiu, who was usually indifferent to the allure of women, couldn't help but feel a slight temptation towards this pink term. But it was only a fleeting thought, as this term was completely unsuitable for him. The reason wasn't just the continuous progress; the main issue was that even a million members of the opposite sex would be a challenge for him, let alone a hundred million.

It would consume his essence, energy, and spirit!

He wasn't a stud; he was here to cultivate immortality, not spend his days in the bridal chamber.

Strictly speaking, this term belonged to the demonic path.

Even with limitless energy, no continent could have enough brothels to accommodate such a large number. Once you ran out of money, you'd have to resort to free options, which meant forcefully taking women, a practice that was not only morally corrupt but would also attract the wrath of countless others.

If a regular cultivator obtained this term, they would face a massive amount of sin value and become the weakest in terms of combat power at their cultivation level. Cultivation breakthroughs weren't just about reaching the required progress; they required passing heavenly tribulations. With each realm advancement, there were numerous thresholds to overcome, and these thresholds demanded combat power to surpass.

Without sufficient combat power, one couldn't cross these thresholds, even if their cultivation progress was sufficient.

On Xuan Tian Continent, there were numerous Soul Transformation cultivators at the peak who had reached the required progress but hadn't entered the Refining Void stage due to this very reason.

His evaluation of this pink term was:

"An absurd term."

It was a term with both outstanding strengths and drawbacks. However, it could unleash its full potential in the hands of cultivators with complementary term sets, but unfortunately, it wasn't suitable for him.

Moreover, it consumed a vast amount of spirit stones.

With such a high cultivation speed, how many spirit stones would he need? And absorbing such a massive amount of spiritual Qi at once would likely cause his body to explode, unless he had a Twelfth Stage Nascent Soul, a Twelfth Stage Golden Core, or a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, which were all Heavenly Dao Peak existences.

Chen Qiu took a deep breath and decided to pass on this term, choosing the second one, "Herd of Beasts." Among the four terms, this was the most suitable for him.

Just as he was about to randomly assign a term to his little ant to see what it would be, a Heavenly Dao Edict resounded throughout the Vast Continent.

"Heavenly Dao Edict: There is a change in the Heavenly Dao. The following content has been added, and this change applies to all-grade continents in a collective Heavenly Dao transformation.

1. All red and lower-grade term panels will display an additional line of information, labeled as the "Comment Section." All holders of the term can post their evaluations of the term in this section, visible to all holders of the term regardless of continent grade. A maximum of one thousand comments will be displayed, prioritizing those from the same continent and connected continents.

2. Addition of "Series Terms."

3. Addition of "Series Term Heavenly Dao Mystic Realm."

4. Addition of nine "Human Immortal Caverns," nine "Earth Immortal Mounts," and nine "Heavenly Immortal Realms."

5. The highest-grade collapsed continent is currently at Grade 3. All beings should exert their utmost efforts and leave no stone unturned in their attempts to escape.

Chen Qiu, who had been examining the little ant in his palm, unconsciously looked up at the top of the Heavenly Palace upon hearing the Heavenly Dao Edict. After listening to the entire edict, he remained silent, his eyes slightly lowered.

It was said that the Heavenly Dao was merciless.

But for some reason, he sensed an urgency in this Heavenly Dao Edict.

It was as if the Heavenly Dao had its own consciousness.

His greatest fear had come true. Upon learning about the destruction of the Pingxi Continent, he had worried about this. After all, if the highest-grade continent was a Twelfth Grade Continent, who knew how many First Grade Continents there were?

With one First Grade Continent destroyed here, who could say how many had been destroyed elsewhere?

Perhaps it had already been destroyed up to the Fifth Rank Continent.

Now it seemed that the situation was slightly better than he had imagined, with only the Third Rank Continent being destroyed.

However, even so, he had to speed up. All opportunities that required time to settle must be abandoned. He didn't want the destruction of a few Second Rank Lower Continents in the Upper Continents of the Vast Continent to lead to the annihilation of the Third Rank Continent and, subsequently, the entire Vast Continent.

If he was lucky, he might still have a chance to go to the Netherworld.

If he was unlucky...

He would be annihilated along with the Vast Continent.

He could accept dying at the hands of a superior enemy, albeit with some reluctance. He didn't want to die, but he wasn't afraid of death either.

However, the idea of being forced to perish alongside the Upper Continent's destruction, left with no choice but to despair and follow the Vast Continent into oblivion, was too hopeless. He didn't like this feeling of despair.

This was the first time he had heard such a Heavenly Dao Edict, resounding across all rank continents.

At this moment, auspicious clouds were swirling at the horizon.

This was the only Heavenly Dao Edict with a celestial phenomenon, and he had seen so many Heavenly Dao Edicts before, but this was the first time he witnessed one accompanied by a celestial phenomenon, clearly distinguishing it from the others.

This Heavenly change also brought many new additions.

Firstly, the first content added after the Heavenly change was a comment section for all red-colored and lower-rank entries. This was a good thing; no continent could possibly possess all entries.

Here, one could provide related entries, thereby deriving more entry combinations.

Moreover, this comment section was visible to all cultivators from different rank continents who possessed the entry, providing a new means of communication.

However, only a maximum of one thousand comments were displayed, implying that if an entry was too popular, there was no chance of seeing comments from cultivators from other continents.

Unconsciously, Chen Qiu glanced at the comment section of his white-colored entry, "Self-Destruct Entry." After all, white-colored entries were the most numerous.

But the situation seemed a bit off. Although the Self-Destruct Entry was white, perhaps because not many people possessed it, the comment section wasn't very active.

"Haha!!!"

"First, first, first, first!"

"Clatter, clatter!"

Nonsensical comments flooded the comment section, likely due to the excitement of the cultivators eager to post the first comment after the recent Heavenly change. Perhaps they expected a Heavenly reward or simply wanted to be the first to comment, but these were all meaningless, thoughtless comments.

".

Chen Qiu's mouth twitched slightly, and he unconsciously posted a 'First' comment before closing his eyes and patiently waiting. After a hundred breaths, the comment section finally looked a bit cleaner.

All comments were anonymous, without a like button, and the Heavenly Dao automatically sorted them.

Useless comments were ranked lower, and the ones displayed at the top contained practical information.

The Heavenly Dao was indeed busy managing all these matters.

"I say the Self-Destruct Entry is the strongest among white-colored entries. Who has any doubts?!"

"It's the strongest among white-colored entries, of course, as long as your family background is good. Otherwise, without entry scrolls, this entry is useless."

"It's useless! I randomly obtained this entry during Qi Refinement, and who understands the pain of my cultivation journey to Foundation Establishment? After finally breaking through to Foundation Establishment and gaining an additional entry, am I supposed to self-destruct it?!"

"Trash entry, ruining my path to immortality!"

The comments for this entry were polarized, with some praising its strength and others calling it garbage.

Those who praised it were from well-off families, where the family had the means to acquire some trash entry scrolls for their young masters to use during their early stages of cultivation.

And the ones calling it garbage were normal cultivators.

For ordinary cultivators, without any fortuitous encounters, reaching the Golden Core stage would only grant them three entries. Asking them to self-destruct one of these three entries was unreasonable. If possible, they would rather self-destruct the Self-Destruct Entry.

The reason why the Self-Destruct Entry was white-colored was because of this limitation and its usefulness only in the early stages. In the later stages, it became less significant.

For example, the Refining Void Domain and Body Integration Move.

Regardless of which, these were beyond the capabilities of the Self-Destruct Entry. The Self-Destruct Entry could only explode with the power of a single entry, unleashing a full-force strike beyond a major cultivation realm. This full-force strike was powered by spirit qi.

Once the cultivation realm advanced, there was a cultivation realm lock, which the Self-Destruct Entry couldn't surpass.

The so-called full-force strike was insignificant compared to a Body Integration Move.

This was why he hadn't used the Self-Destruct Entry in a long time. However, although it lost its offensive capabilities in the later stages, its supportive effect was still decent. Up until now, his only means of 'removing' an entry was through this entry. If he was forced to randomly acquire an entry with negative effects, he could self-destruct it. In the later stages, its supportive effect was still useful.

It wasn't as he had imagined.

He had thought that everyone would exchange useful information, such as differences between continents or the most suitable entries for this entry. But now, it seemed that people were reluctant to reveal sensitive information.

He wanted to post another comment but found that the comment box had turned gray. Each person could only post one comment per entry, and posting another required consuming 100 medium-grade spirit stones.

Chen Qiu looked at the comment section before him, nodded thoughtfully, and then turned to look at the comment sections below each of his entries.

"Unique Dantian Expansion."

In the comment section, there were none.

After a long wait, he silently posted a comment, the first one.

But his expression gradually became strange.

This was his only one, a "Unique" entry. He had initially thought that this uniqueness was solely within the Great Xia Kingdom, as this entry, although powerful, was only strong in the early stages, and became a bit weak later on.

With the Refining Void Domain of "Infinite Spirit Qi," he didn't lack Spirit Qi during battles.

With attack methods like the "Body Integration Move," even with abundant Spirit Qi, it couldn't compare to a single Body Integration Move.

With such strength, it shouldn't be unique among all tiers of continents, but now it seemed that it truly was. This entry was indeed the only one among countless continents, and he held it in his hands.

From this perspective, it was evident that the "Pink Entry" was genuinely special. In this Heavenly Dao change, only red and lower-tier entries had comment sections, while those above red, like gold and rainbow, lacked comment sections.

But the pink one did.

Logically, the pink tier should be above red, but his pink entry, "Unique Dantian Expansion," had a comment section, making it exceptionally unique.

Just then—

A Heavenly Dao Edict, audible only to him, suddenly resounded in his ear.

-

"Heavenly Dao Edict": In response to the Heavenly Dao's perception, the Xuan Tian State of the Vast Continent, a human cultivator named Chen Qiu, became the first cultivator to comment in the comment section of the pink entry "Unique Dantian Expansion."

As a special reward, he received a thread of Human Pride Destiny.

"Huh?"

As the Heavenly Dao Edict sounded in his ear, a trace of bewilderment appeared in Chen Qiu's eyes. Was there really a reward for being the first to comment?

And the reward wasn't weak!

It was a thread of Human Pride Destiny, something not easily obtained. Although it was the lowest-tier entry in the Prodigy's Fortune series, it was something many ordinary cultivators would never attain in their entire lives. Only those with sufficient speed to become the first commenter could earn this reward.

Under the green entry "Regular Proclamation Guest," he successfully acquired two threads of Human Pride Destiny.

Under the pink entry "Twelve Volumes of Military Orders, Each Mentions My Name," his cultivation speed increased by fivefold.

".”

Chen Qiu stood silently, his expression complex. For a moment, he didn't know how to react. This wasn't the most generous reward he had received, but it was undoubtedly the easiest. He did nothing but type two words and gained a rather substantial reward.

At that moment, in the comment section of the pink entry "Unique Dantian Expansion."

The comment with the words "First" stood out prominently.

For a long time, no one else commented; he was the sole commenter.

He tentatively spent 100 medium-grade Spirit Stones and posted a second comment, but there was no reward, nor did any Heavenly Dao Edict sound. It seemed that only the first commenter could receive a reward; the second comment held no significance.

At first—

He thought those people were posting meaningless comments like "Ababa" and "Hehe" because they were bored, but now he realized that cultivators from high-tier continents probably understood the Heavenly Dao's nature and were rushing to claim the first comment.

He had thought them fools, but they were all thieves.

"Wait!"

Chen Qiu suddenly remembered something and looked at the comment section of the "Supreme Lightning Body" entry. This supreme-tier entry should be quite rare, and there should be a reward for it as well.

However.-

"First!"

"Huh? I thought I was the only one with this entry?!"

"Where did you all get your supreme-tier entries?"

"We stole them."

-

".”

Chen Qiu sighed helplessly. Perhaps the population base was too large, for even such a rare supreme-tier entry had a crowded comment section. He didn't know how many people possessed this entry, but he knew one thing.

There must be no fewer than a thousand people with this entry, as the comment section already had a thousand comments. He skimmed through them but found no valuable information.

It was evident that no one wanted to reveal useful intelligence.

The other supreme-tier entries were similarly crowded.

However, under the "Slip Away Unhindered" entry, he found an intriguing comment.

-

"Help! There's an idiot with an ant chasing me. The ant can't be killed, and although it's only at the Divine Transformation stage, it can't hurt me much. But the problem is that every time I'm attacked, I automatically teleport, and I can't use my protective Spirit Qi, so I'm constantly teleporting. I've been teleporting non-stop for seven hundred years now. How do I solve this?"

-

".”

Chen Qiu looked at the comment before him with a strange expression. So, the "Hammer Ant" entry could be used this way? His ant had only the Refining Void cultivation, but the ant chasing this person had reached the Divine Transformation stage. It must have been enhanced by some entry.

He also had the "Slip Away Unhindered" entry.

The effect was that every time he was attacked, he would automatically teleport, and he couldn't control it. Usually, it wasn't a problem as long as he activated his protective Spirit Qi, but this person couldn't use it.

Some entries came with the cost of being unable to use protective Spirit Qi.

For instance, in the Great Xia Kingdom, in Jian Yi's lifetime, there was an entry that prevented the use of Spirit Qi.

The result was—

Although the ant couldn't kill the commenter, it could keep him in a constant state of teleportation. Forget about Heavenly Dao Mystic Realms and heavenly opportunities; he could only keep teleporting.

Although it wasn't exile, it was pretty close.

The commenter's cultivation level was unclear, but if he considered the Divine Transformation stage not very high, then he was at least at the Body Fusion stage, most likely a cultivator from a third-grade continent or higher.

At this moment, the importance of the white entry, "Self-Destruct Entry," was evident.

If the commenter had this entry, they could use it to self-destruct the "Slip Away Unhindered" entry, and everything would be fine. However, even for a white entry, without an entry scroll, obtaining it was purely a matter of luck.

It's not that lower-tier entries are easily obtained.

He also learned something from this comment section: even for cultivators from a Third-Grade Continent, removing a specific entry is a rather tricky or challenging task.

Of course, even if there was a way, this person probably couldn't do it.

After all, it's impossible to stay in one place, and even if a Heavenly Dao Mystic Realm had such an opportunity, they couldn't enter it.

He then turned his attention to the comment section of the entry, "Hammer Ant."

"Hey, seven hundred years ago, I sent my ant to hunt down a fool. That fool had the entries 'Slip Away Unhindered' and 'Fearless of Life and Death.' He has been auto-teleporting for seven hundred years now, and he's still doing it. I suggest that when facing a strong enemy, you can set up a trap to give them these two entries. Then, you can let your enemy start permanent teleportation. It's a pretty good entry group."

"I'd like to ask for help. I have the entry 'Auto-Replenish Spirit,' which allows me to automatically restore Spirit Qi whenever I'm attacked. When I obtained this entry, I had a sudden idea to let my ant chase after me, so I could have infinite Spirit Qi. The idea was great, and it worked well at first.

But when I broke through to a higher realm, my luck was terrible, and I was forced to choose the 'Slip Away Unhindered' entry. Now, I can't turn off my protective Spirit Qi. If I do, I start auto-teleporting. How can I solve this? I haven't been able to cultivate for a long time, and it's painful. Please help me!"

"Useless entry, it's good for nothing!"

"This entry is powerful; you just don't know how to use it."

"Fellow cultivator, I'm in the same situation as you. I don't have the 'Slip Away Unhindered' entry, but I suddenly had the idea to let my ant chase after me. Now, this ant is constantly hitting me on the back of my head with a hammer. It's so annoying; is there really no solution to this?"

"There is. Come and take refuge in the Buddhist Sect. I put a wooden fish on the back of my head and let my ant chase after me. Now, my ant provides me with a lot of cultivation progress and merit points every day. I don't have to do anything; my cultivation and merit points keep rising."

"What? Can this entry be used like this?"

"Fellow cultivator, don't be fooled by him. Not every bald donkey has the means to increase cultivation and merit points by hitting a wooden fish. I ordered my ant to chase after a bald donkey, and now that ant hits that bald donkey's head every day. It even hit him so hard that a mole appeared on his head. And I have the 'Summon a Herd' entry, so I summoned over a thousand ants. Now, each bald donkey on our continent has one, and they hit their heads every day. A bunch of damn bald donkeys!"

"Did the bald donkeys offend you?"

"Do bald donkeys have anything good? Aren't those bald donkey beasts the ones who create evil cultivators and slaughter them to harvest merit points?"

"Don't those evil cultivators deserve to die?"

"Nonsense! Aren't you the one who incited them?"

"If their hearts were filled with kindness and no malice, would inciting them have any effect?"

"You're right. I'll go and kill a couple of bald donkeys later. I haven't dared to kill them these days, fearing that I'll have no place to release my anger after I'm done."

---

Looking at Chen Qiu, whose comments had started to turn into arguments, he had a strange expression and remained silent for a while, not knowing what to say. To be honest, he felt a sense of liveliness for the first time in a long time.

He hadn't felt this way in ages.

Although there were many cultivators on the Vast Continent with the same entry as him, there weren't many. Even if there were, he didn't know about them, making him feel lonely all this time.

Now, so many cultivators with the same entry as him had appeared.

He even felt a hint of excitement.

Moreover, these comment sections were quite inspiring to him.

For example, the entry group of "Hammer Ant" + "Slip Away Unhindered" + "Fearless of Life and Death" was indeed a great combination. As long as the enemy didn't have a self-destruct entry or other means to remove entries, it was equivalent to permanent expulsion.

However, the difficulty of this entry group was even more absurd than his own:

"Unfettered Person" + "Far-Famed Reputation" + "Liu Zide."

At least his entry group only had one additional person.

In the other entry group, the enemy had to possess both entries for it to work. He did have the "Hammer Ant" entry, but where could he find an enemy with such high compatibility?

And then there was the cultivator who had a wooden fish on his head.

These bald donkey cultivators were indeed creative. He wondered why he hadn't thought of it; it was indeed a great method. He could cultivate while sleeping, as someone would be hitting the wooden fish for him.

It was like idle worshipping the Buddha.

Moreover, he hadn't seen any bald donkey cultivator who could increase their cultivation progress and merit points just by hitting a wooden fish.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel that the number of Heavenly Talents' children seemed to be as numerous as cows and horses. Like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each had their own unique abilities!

PS: Today is the Qixi Festival, and I had an argument with my girlfriend. There's no other reason; she wanted me to go out with her to celebrate Qixi, but I refused because I had to write.

My girlfriend said I didn't care about her.

I was furious!

I have thousands of readers who follow my daily updates. How could I abandon them all for one person?

It's ridiculous!

So...

I hope that you readers will give me some monthly votes to show your appreciation for my consistent updates, even on Qixi. As for those authors who stop updating on Qixi, they're just a bunch of lapdogs, distracted by beauty and unable to shoulder their responsibilities!
