Chapter 256: The Ultimate Multicolored Entry! (Part 1)

Chapter 256: The Ultimate Multicolored Entry! (Part 1)



Chen Qiu gazed at the tiny ant in his palm, his expression momentarily filled with a hint of strangeness. According to reason, the ant's cultivation should be fixed at the Qi Condensation Stage.

The little ant was his summoned creature from an entry.

It didn't rely on cultivation for sustenance and had no cultivation methods, nor could it improve its cultivation. But for some unknown reason, after passing through a heavenly tribulation, its cultivation soared to the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Chen Qiu could somewhat accept the ant's cultivation increase.

After all, in the comment section of the "Hammer-Wielding Ant" entry, he had seen a fellow cultivator mention that their ant had reached the Refinement Void Realm. Although he didn't know how they had achieved it, he had some expectations.

It was understandable.

However, he didn't quite understand the method of this breakthrough. Could it be that the person had their ant's cultivation breakthrough by repeatedly passing through a First Rank Heaven Tribulation?

It wasn't that he was arrogant. He genuinely believed that at his cultivation level, surviving a First Rank Heaven Tribulation was a feat that few across all ranks could accomplish. This wasn't arrogance but a realistic assessment.

So, he guessed that the person must have some unknown method.

What he didn't expect was that after the ant's cultivation breakthrough, it could randomly select another entry from all his entries. This was quite interesting. It meant that the next time the ant broke through, it could randomly select another entry from his collection.

However, the next breakthrough would likely require another rankless heavenly tribulation.

Without further thought, he immediately used the "Herd of Cattle and Horses" entry, and a white mist flashed by.

Soon, a new entry appeared on the ant's back, engraved on its surface: "Thousand-fold Spellcasting"!

Chen Qiu stared at the ant in his palm, his expressionless face revealing his momentary speechlessness. Well, his permanent "Thousand-fold Spellcasting" entry was only a timed version, but this little fellow had obtained a permanent one.

The process of the ant wielding a hammer was considered spellcasting. Originally, there was a "Tenfold Spellcasting" entry, but now it had become the "Thousand-fold Spellcasting" entry. Now, with a single swing of the hammer, sparks would fly.

He immediately transmitted a sound command to the Fat Dragon guarding outside the palace, ordering it to bring him a Foundation Establishment-level demon beast.

He wanted to test its effectiveness.

After taking a deep breath, he turned his attention to the three random entries that appeared after his breakthrough to the Body Fusion Stage. His heart's desire remained the same: cultivation speed!

He wanted to max out that damn cultivation speed!

He aimed to become an immortal in a single day!

Forget about messy combat power and foundation! Only cultivation speed was the eternal god, even without a Twelfth Rank Golden Core or a Twelfth Rank Nascent Soul. As long as his cultivation speed was sufficient, he could still dominate even as a Body Fusion Stage cultivator with nothing to his name, easily defeating a Twelfth Rank Nascent Soul!

The qualitative change brought about by cultivation level was not something that could be compensated for by mere rank.

Even a Nascent Soul at the eighty-first rank would be no match for a First Rank Body Fusion Stage killing move.

His goal was simple:

First, an invincible foundation at the same level.

Second, an incredibly fast cultivation speed, allowing him to cultivate at an exaggerated pace to the Body Fusion Stage and possess formidable combat power at the same level.

Soon, a panel shrouded in clouds appeared before him.

"Cultivation greatly increased, officially entering the first layer of Body Fusion."

"Please choose one of the three random entries below within a hundred breaths."

1:

"Entry Name": Bless Descendants (Ultimate).

"Entry Rank": Red.

"Entry Effect": Ten percent of the cultivation progress gained by your biological children will be transferred to you.

"Ultimate Effect": Ten percent of the cultivation progress gained by your grandchildren will be transferred to you.

2:

"Entry Name": Savoring Hardship and Bliss (Ultimate).

"Entry Rank": Purple.

"Entry Effect": When you are in extreme emotional pain, your cultivation speed will receive a significant boost, starting at ten times and capping at a thousand times.

"Ultimate Effect": If someone is in extreme emotional pain because of you, you will also gain a large cultivation speed boost, starting at ten times and capping at a thousand times.

3:

"Entry Name": This Life is Over (Ultimate).

"Entry Rank": Gold.

"Entry Effect": Instantly perish and reincarnate as an infant with a random Gray, White, Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple, Red, or Gold entry. You will only awaken the memories of your previous life when your cultivation in this life reaches the level before your death.

"Ultimate Effect": Gain an additional Multicolored Entry, timed for one year.

Chen Qiu stared expressionlessly at the three Ultimate entries before him.

The first one.

Powerful, but not suitable for him; more fitting for the Fat Dragon. Pass.

The second one.

Powerful, but not suitable for him; more fitting for a demonic cultivator. Pass.

The third one.

Powerful, but not suitable for him; more fitting for those who have lost hope in their cultivation path in this life. Pass.

The third entry was indeed very powerful, and its rank was high—gold, one rank higher than red. It was evident that breaking through to the Body Fusion Stage was different.

Red and gold entries were so easily obtained at random.

When he was at the Refinement Void Realm, obtaining a gold entry was extremely difficult.

The third entry was actually very suitable for those who, despite having decent cultivation in this life, were unlikely to randomly obtain this entry due to insufficient foundation accumulated in their youth, preventing them from reaching a high enough peak. In such cases, choosing this entry would be beneficial.

At the initial stage of Qi Condensation.

The grandson of the fourth uncle of the second cousin of your neighbor's older brother had just awakened the "Woodcutter Saint Body," a white entry.

If you choose this entry...

You would start with nine entries right away, along with a one-year limited edition multicolored entry. The effect is incredibly powerful, but the only drawback is that you'd have to separate from your Dao companion, family, and friends in this life.

Moreover, you'd only have a hundred breaths to make your choice, perhaps not even enough time to say goodbye, only able to leave some instructions and thoughts through sound transmission talismans.

But for someone wholeheartedly dedicated to the Dao, these things are dispensable.

Oh, and there's another drawback; you'd also get an additional gray entry. Most gray entries have significant side effects. If you randomly get one that limits you to the Qi Condensation Stage for life, well, you'd better start crying.

Chen Qiu didn't think further and began reselecting. Under the entry "Fortune Awaits," he had a hundred chances to reselect, more than enough for him to take his time.

Reselect!

Not suitable, pass!

Pass... pass...

His expression gradually became anxious, and the speed of his selections increased. He tried to memorize all the entries he rejected, relying on his memory. Although he had discarded these entries, it was rare to see so many high-quality purple entries at once.

He must record all of them in his entry encyclopedia.

The "Fortune Awaits" entry was powerful, giving him a hundred chances to reselect, allowing him to choose an entry that perfectly suited him with a higher probability. But there was a significant drawback; he only had a hundred breaths to choose!

Damn it!

There wasn't enough time!

Pass, pass, pass!!

Keep passing!

Stop!

After more than thirty reselections, Chen Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up. He finally found the most suitable entry for him. The previous methods to improve cultivation speed were all messy, like increasing cultivation progress when refining pills or crafting talismans.

The one in front of him was the most suitable.

---

"Entry Name": Fame Spreads (Ultimate Entry).

"Entry Level": Pink.

"Entry Effect": For every person who knows your name, your cultivation speed will receive a slight boost.

"Ultimate Effect": Effect doubles.

---

Perfect.

He already had a regular version of "Fame Spreads," and he never expected to randomly obtain an Ultimate version. He wondered if the ordinary effect of this Ultimate entry would overlap or add up with the effect of his regular version.

But regardless...

This was the most suitable one for him.

After fixing this entry, Chen Qiu looked at the hundred-breath countdown on the cloud-covered panel, and his mood gradually calmed down. He still had over sixty chances left, and it was unlikely to randomly get a more suitable entry later.

There was no need to rush.

Damn it, his brain was about to overload.

But he gave up those sixty chances and fixed the "Fame Spreads (Ultimate)" entry, then reselected other entries to collect information on high-quality ones.

Pass, pass, pass!

After that...

Chen Qiu began to reselect quickly while memorizing the entry effects.

The time was still insufficient.

In the last three breaths, he had ten more chances, but he couldn't afford to be careful. His speed increased, pass, pass, pass.

At the last breath—

He was about to choose the "Fame Spreads (Ultimate)" entry when, during the final reselection, a multicolored entry appeared on the cloud-covered panel, with its name and effects in vibrant colors.

The name was multicolored.

The effects were multicolored.

It stood out starkly against the cloud-covered panel, and by then, there was less than a breath left before the panel closed, and the clouds gradually dissipated.

There was no time for excessive contemplation.

Chen Qiu's eyes instantly turned red, and he subconsciously roared, "The third one, I choose the third one!"

The next moment!

The cloud-covered panel dissipated.

Chen Qiu's body trembled slightly as he retracted his divine sense from above his Dantian. His face flushed due to the sudden surge of emotions, and his fingers, clenched tightly, began to turn white.

He wasn't sure if he had made the selection.

He dared not check his Dantian, fearing that he might not have chosen it in the end. But he knew that if he had selected it, it would be successful. He just felt a bit nervous at that moment.

He wasn't nervous when facing the ninth tribulation of the First Rank Heaven Tribulation.

He wasn't nervous when surrounded by a group of thugs during Qi Condensation.

He wasn't nervous during several life-or-death situations.

But...

He was nervous now!

This was his second permanent multicolored entry, and it was an Ultimate multicolored entry!

In the instant the cloud-covered panel vanished, he didn't even get a clear look at the name or effects of this multicolored entry. He only saw a bunch of multicolored characters shamelessly flaunting themselves on the panel.

Without a moment's hesitation...

He immediately abandoned the already selected "Fame Spreads (Ultimate)" entry, a pink entry. It might be useless, but he believed that no multicolored entry could be absolutely useless!

After taking several deep breaths...

Chen Qiu slowly rose, trembling slightly, and took out the twelve miniature statues he had been holding in his arms, placing them on the ground. He then knelt and lit three incense sticks, gazing at the statues before him with reddened eyes, and murmured, "Thank you, ancestors, for your blessings."

"I beseech you, ancestors, to bless me once more with a good Multicolored Entry."

"I've worked hard my whole life, and it wasn't easy to obtain a second permanent Multicolored Entry. Please grant me a good one; it's not easy for a child."

Holding the Shadow Stone he had obtained in Kai Shan City in Daxia Country, he looked towards the Entry floating above his Dantian.

Entry Name: Steady Progress (Ultimate Entry)



Entry Rank: Multicolored

Entry Effect: Upon advancing in cultivation by a minor realm, one can obtain an Entry, and each time, three random Entries will appear, allowing the cultivator to freely choose one.

Ultimate Effect: Upon advancing in cultivation by a minor realm, one can choose from three Ultimate Entries.

When this Entry was engraved on the inner wall of the Dantian, it automatically positioned itself higher than the "Steady Progress" Entry.

He somehow knew that the ordinary effect of "Steady Progress" could not be stacked. When possessing both an ordinary Entry and an Ultimate Entry, the ordinary effect would not be duplicated, and the Ultimate Entry's effect would apply.

In other words—

From now on, every time he broke through in cultivation, he would have two Triple Choice Entries.

One for an ordinary Entry and one for an Ultimate Entry.

With each minor realm breakthrough, he was guaranteed at least one ordinary Entry and one Ultimate Entry.

After a long while, Chen Qiu's excited laughter echoed through the Celestial Palace, which had been empty and silent. Despite his injuries, Chen Qiu laughed loudly, seemingly fearless of the pain.

His behavior was incredibly arrogant.

"This..."

The Fat Dragon at the entrance of the Celestial Palace looked at the interior, confused. He saw Chen Qiu kneeling on the ground, his body heavily injured, facing twelve miniature statues of himself, and laughing towards the sky as incense smoke rose from the incense burner.

His eyes were filled with panic, not knowing what to do.

He had never seen Chen Qiu in such a state. No matter how difficult or surprising the situation, Chen Qiu had always remained calm. He wondered why Chen Qiu's emotions were so intense today.

He anxiously looked at Xing Dou, who was peeking in from the side, and asked, "Is it a Heart Demon?"

"No," Xing Dou shook his head and hesitated, "Heavenly Thunder doesn't bring about Heart Demons. I think it might be the happiness that comes after surviving a tribulation."

"No," the leader of the Sky Axe Sect, standing nearby, blurted out, "Could it be that the effect of the Multicolored Entry is too powerful?"

As his words fell, everyone exchanged glances, agreeing with this idea. After all, if they were given a Multicolored Entry, even a limited-time one, they would laugh, and they would laugh even harder than Chen Qiu!
