Chapter 335: "Do You Think I'm Stupid Too?"

Chapter 335: "Do You Think I'm Stupid Too?"

Out of the three "Unique-grade" rewards, one was a mandatory choice, and a Rainbow-grade reward was excluded.

Among the remaining six options:

The first option, a black entry called "Phantom Night Walk," could also be eliminated. It was an offensive entry with good effects, but it was more suited for Demon Cultivators and thus useless to him.

The Heavenly Dao Entry Group "Break and Rebuild" consisted of 17 entries, with the core entry being "Self-Destruct and Rebuild." Its effect allowed him to resurrect once, and during this resurrection, every time he broke through a major cultivation realm, he would have the chance to choose three out of five entries, all of which would be of the Supreme grade.

However, the cost was that all the entries he possessed in this life would be discarded.

For those with less luck, where the drawn entries rarely had any synergy, this Heavenly Dao Entry Group was a divine skill. But for him, it was still useless.

Eliminated.

Out of the six options, two had been excluded, leaving four:

1. Black entry, 'Ingenious Imagination'.

2. Seven-colored Imperial Banner.

3. White Entry Family Bundle.

4. Black entry, 'Void Walking'.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Chen Qiu made his six choices: the three Unique-grade rewards, the White Entry Family Bundle, the black entry 'Void Walking', and the Seven-colored Imperial Banner.

Thus, the greatest opportunity he had gained at the Ascension Assembly came to a close. After digesting these rewards, his strength would increase significantly!

But for now, the most important thing was...

"Aba. Aba."

Chen Qiu stood frozen, his eyes vacant as he stared into the distance, drooling unconsciously from the corner of his mouth. His mind was almost stagnant, and he couldn't even use his spiritual energy.

The inner wall of his dantian was enough to make someone with trypophobia feel itchy all over.

Nearly ten thousand white entries were densely embedded in the inner wall of his dantian, and among these ten thousand entries, some inevitably had side effects. For example, one could turn him into an idiot, almost stopping his thinking, but his physical strength would be enhanced, and so on.

He had anticipated this.

Unlike the Heavenly Dao Entry Group, choosing a Heavenly Dao Entry Group would also come with multiple entries, but the entries in the Heavenly Dao Entry Group could be freely chosen to be activated or not. This one, however, didn't have the option to choose whether to activate them. Still, there was a solution: he could use the "Self-Destruct Entry" to explode some of the white entries with side effects.

This was why he dared to choose the White Entry Family Bundle.

Generally speaking, white entries rarely had side effects, and even if they did, they weren't too severe. Moreover, they could be removed.

If it were a Gray Entry Family Bundle, he wouldn't even consider it. He wouldn't even take a look at it. Aside from the fact that the negative effects of gray entries were life-threatening, most gray entries couldn't be removed, which was enough to torment him.

The solution was simple.

The process, however, was tedious.

He had to check and self-destruct 99,999 white entries one by one, which was no easy task.

Next—

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

After consecutively self-destructing four white entries, Chen Qiu's mind gradually became clearer. Although self-destructing entries was merely a spiritual energy attack and mostly useless at high cultivation levels, he was currently at the eighth level of Earth Immortal.

The self-destructing entries' attack was as powerful as an eighth-level Heaven Immortal using spiritual energy to cast a full-power spell.

Four consecutive full-power attacks from an eighth-level Heaven Immortal smashed down, leaving his backyard somewhat pockmarked.

However, he quickly retracted his gaze. Anyway, the Brown Bear Clan had nothing to do in the near future, so he could assign them the task of restoring the backyard's scenery.

Once his body had regained some mobility, Chen Qiu immediately left the little world, not wanting to harm it.

The first entries to be self-destructed were the messy ones.

He could only be grateful that the Ascension Assembly had ended, and there weren't many people wandering around Zhongzhou City. After leaving the little world, he appeared at the place where he had crossed the heavenly tribulation.

His current appearance could only be described as pitiful.

The visible parts were still manageable.

He had gained a few extra heads, dozens of extra arms, a slightly larger body, wings on his back, a tail, longer teeth, and some other messy physical changes.

The invisible changes were even more numerous.

He had gained the power of Nine Bulls and Nine Yin.

He didn't want to focus his attention on his groin, not wanting to remember such a difficult scene. He wanted his life's memories to be filled with pride, not shame.

Without hesitation, he self-destructed all the messy white entries.

That day—

Everyone in Zhongzhou City heard the sound of firecrackers ringing incessantly in their ears. The spiritual energy fluctuations of a Heaven Immortal continuously emanated from outside the city, thundering in every cultivator's ears.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Noon thunder.

After resounding for thousands of times, the noon thunder gradually subsided.

Such a commotion naturally attracted many onlookers.

"Huff"

Chen Qiu, who had been immersed in his own world, finally took a slight, weary breath after spending over two hours cleaning up all the white entries. It was truly exhausting; he felt more tired than after two hours of continuous combat.

Not only did he clean up these white entries, but he also copied all their information for future reference.

Nevertheless, it was finally over.

Chen Qiu had regained his normal appearance, and his entire person was once again as handsome as before. His groin also returned to a refreshing state, and his whole body felt relaxed. After a long sigh of relief, he discovered that he was surrounded by a sea of people, though he didn't know when they had gathered.

As Chen Qiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he ignored the crowd's expressions of disbelief, shock, and as if they had seen a ghost. With a thought, he activated the Supreme-grade Rainbow Entry "Leaf Veil," entering an absolute stealth state and disappearing from his original position. He was ready to head to Zhongzhou City to find Fat Dragon and the others.

Having decided to return to the Greater Xia Kingdom, he also prepared some gifts. Although he didn't have much family, he could still visit old friends and, at the same time, bring back a Formation Cultivator genius who was still trapped in the "Inheritance Land." This was something he had never forgotten.

He had initially found a Formation Cultivator genius in the Mystic Heavens Continent, but later, due to his cultivation level at the time, he couldn't return to the Greater Xia Kingdom, so the matter was dropped.

After Chen Qiu disappeared from his original spot for a long time, the onlookers gradually snapped out of their daze. An old man with white temples, his eyes filled with fear, trembled as he spoke, "The Spirit Qi fluctuations on Chen Qiu just now were indeed at the Earth Immortal Eighth Level, right?"

"My eyes aren't so bad that I'd mistake that," he continued.

"But just a few days ago, wasn't Chen Qiu at the Tribulation Peak cultivation level?" another asked.

"How did he go from the Tribulation Peak to the Earth Immortal Eighth Level in just a few days?"

As the words left his mouth, a middle-aged man beside him shook his head, "It's not impossible to comprehend. The Ascension Assembly has many Supreme Cultivation Cards and other great opportunities to increase cultivation progress. It's said that Chen Qiu almost swept all the opportunities in this Ascension Assembly, and the reason for his rapid cultivation advancement should be related to this."

"What I truly don't understand is..."

"With just an Earth Immortal Eighth Level cultivation, why is the strength of the spell's Spirit Qi so powerful, as if he had used a 'Self-Destruct Entry'?"

Indeed, the unnatural incident that just occurred resembled the effect of the "Self-Destruct Entry."

However, the issue was that, generally speaking, this was a last resort, not something to be used casually. Moreover, Chen Qiu had unleashed it thousands of times. Who in their right mind would have thousands of entries to use so recklessly?

"That's not the main issue. Didn't you notice something else? I'm already at the Celestial Immortal Peak cultivation, yet the spell's attack only had the Spirit Qi fluctuations of the Celestial Immortal Eighth Level, and it was just an ordinary spell activated by Spirit Qi, not a Heaven Realm technique."

"Logically, even if I stood there without moving, my defense shouldn't be broken."

"But for some reason, the spell gave me a heart-palpitating feeling, as if it could cause my immediate demise if it struck me!"

"Impossible!"

For a moment, everyone started chattering, each with a point that terrified them.

If Chen Qiu was only slightly stronger, they would feel jealous.

If Chen Qiu was significantly stronger, they would respect him, try to get close, and even pledge allegiance.

But if Chen Qiu exceeded the boundaries of reason, they would feel fear. This fear didn't stem from Chen Qiu's strength but from the realization that something they didn't know about must have happened in the world, leading to the emergence of someone so beyond comprehension. This often implied that they were being left behind by the times.

Chen Qiu stood expressionless in a courtyard, gazing at a girl dressing by the hot spring. His eyes held no malice; he was merely observing the scene quietly.

He had never understood why so many people would use invisibility to peep on others.

As an immortal, he couldn't comprehend why anyone would indulge in such trivial matters, which truly puzzled him.

However, one had to admit that "invisibility" was incredibly useful in most infiltration scenarios, especially since his invisibility originated from a Supreme-grade Rainbow Entry, making him undetectable by any means.

In other words, if he wished, he could sneak into most places without a sound.

Of course, it wouldn't work against top-tier formations that were always active.

Invisibility only made one undetectable; it didn't grant immunity to offensive formations.

He had been tailing this girl, who was currently dressing by the hot spring.

There was no other reason.

After clearing the White Entry, he entered Zhongzhou City to find Fat Dragon and the others. With a thought, he located their position through the sect's token without even extending his spiritual sense.

Just then, he sensed a group of people intentionally following Fat Dragon and his companions, who were too excited about shopping to notice the tracking.

Chen Qiu continued to tail them until they reached this courtyard, where the girl by the hot spring was the leader of the group.

She was a lively girl, her age unknown, but she appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen. Her face was youthful, but her figure was voluptuous, with a typical mature woman's curves and a youthful face, a combination many men found appealing.

Before her knelt three middle-aged men with solemn expressions, their heads lowered, not daring to look up.

The girl nonchalantly stepped out of the hot spring, completely naked, and began to dress, while the three men didn't dare to raise their heads.

Chen Qiu, sensing a conspiracy, didn't act immediately. Instead, he curiously observed the group, wondering who in the Tide Immortal Plane would dare to target him and why.

He couldn't recall offending anyone, nor did he have any personal grudges. Even if someone targeted him, what benefit would they gain from killing him?

Just then—

The girl had finished dressing and stood there for a moment before speaking in a crisp and gentle voice, "According to your report, Chen Qiu is quite a capable person. In this Fifth Rank Immortal World, he's undoubtedly one of the best."

"My mother has been urging me to get married and has already found a husband for me."

"It's so annoying!"

"Now I should have some peace for a while."

The girl, now fully dressed, casually lay on a rocking chair nearby, unconcerned about her exposed body. She propped her jade arm under her head and said lazily, "The husband my mother found for me is indeed powerful, but he's not very smart. He thinks that by killing off all my suitors, we can get married."

"I've already told my mother that I have a liking for Chen Qiu from the Tide Immortal Plane. I'm sure she will inform my husband about this."

"I hope Chen Qiu is as strong as the rumors say and can hold off my husband for a while."

"That way, I'll have some free time."

". . ."

Chen Qiu, who was hiding in the shadows, listened to the entire conversation without expression, now understanding the origins of these people. Based on their tone, they were likely not natives of the Tide Immortal Plane but from a higher-ranked Immortal World.

He was about to face a threat from an unknown enemy.

This was truly an unwarranted disaster.

He hadn't done anything, yet he was forced to gain an enemy. Losing meant death, and winning wouldn't spare him from the retaliation of the enemy's backing forces.

Perfect.

Without further hesitation, Chen Qiu revealed himself, and as spiritual energy surged, he lifted the girl lying on the chair and forcibly brought her into his Little World.

At the peak of Human Immortal cultivation, she was only nineteen years old in bone age.

Such age and cultivation were terrifying, but in front of him, it was far from impressive!

"Damn it!!!"

The moment Chen Qiu appeared, the three middle-aged men who were kneeling on the ground instantly turned furious and fearful. Their Heavenly Immortal peak cultivation erupted without restraint, causing Chen Qiu's eyebrows to furrow slightly. Their previous servile behavior didn't match their current cultivation level.

He wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to get entangled any further. Spiritual energy surged out, activating his bodyguard spirit qi while casually throwing out thousands of lightning spells to force the three middle-aged men with Heavenly Immortal peak cultivation to retreat. Then he prepared to leave.

However—

Just as those thousands of lightning spells struck the three men, the spells directly ignored their bodyguard spirit qi and even their treasures, hitting their bodies directly.

"Boom!!!

Along with the sound of crackling lightning, the entire courtyard was filled with flickering lightning arcs.

"Hmm?"

Only Chen Qiu, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at the three corpses on the ground with a dazed expression.

Dead?

Weren't you at the peak of Heavenly Immortal cultivation? How did you die so easily?

What's going on?

I just casually threw out some lightning spells to force you back, and I didn't even use my fusion kill move, 'Three Thousand Thunder Movement.' I only used the most basic lightning spells, driven by the power of an Earth Immortal at the eighth level.

It's just that with a thousand layers of casting, the number of spells was slightly more than usual.

But you are, after all, at the peak of Heavenly Immortal cultivation, the cultivation limit of the Tide Immortal Plane. How could you be defeated so easily?

Chen Qiu looked at his hands in a daze, but soon realized what had happened. Under the absolute attribute of 'Ignore Defense,' his attacks seemed to have overflowed a little.

This was the first time he had fought with this attribute, and even he hadn't realized its full power.

So powerful!

Directly applying spell attacks to the body, only body cultivators could withstand it with their physical strength. Other cultivators, like spellcasters and array cultivators, would die with a single hit.

Not even ultimate moves were needed; even basic skills would be deadly.

After a long while,

Chen Qiu silently looked at the three corpses covered in lightning arcs in the courtyard and muttered, "Ridiculous."

In the future, he couldn't afford to gain such a great opportunity again. He had misjudged his own strength, not realizing he had become so powerful. If he had known, he wouldn't have retreated earlier.

What a pity.

It's a shame Badan was on his side; otherwise, he would have liked to test if a True Immortal could withstand his attacks.

The attacks launched by the three Heavenly Immortal peak cultivators before their deaths shattered his bodyguard spirit qi, but the remaining damage was entirely absorbed by the unique reward 'Thunder Robe,' leaving him unharmed.

From then on, he could bid farewell to the 'High Attack Low Defense' label.

He should be able to transform into an 'Ultra Attack High Defense' cultivator.

After cleaning up the three corpses in the courtyard, Chen Qiu left and returned to his Little World, sealing the girl's cultivation and imprisoning her in the mountains.

"Damn it, do you know who I am?" the girl shouted.

"If I lose even a single hair, the entire Tide Immortal Plane will pay the price! Do you understand?"

"I..."

Chen Qiu couldn't be bothered to listen to her and casually sealed her mouth. He was still angry about being drawn into this conflict for no reason.

However, as Chen Qiu stood there, his anger simmering, he suddenly stopped and thoughtfully examined the girl before him.

Aside from her temper, her figure and face were quite appealing, with a mature woman's body and a youthful face. She looked watery and was the type he preferred.

Soon, he couldn't help but smile.

"Don't you recognize me?"

"You just said you wanted me to be your husband. Haven't you even seen my portrait?"

Half an hour later,

Chen Qiu pulled up his pants and stood on the hill, overlooking the entire Cao Tian Sect. After taking a deep breath and calming himself, he muttered, "I need to speed up the process."

Without lingering, he immediately returned to Zhongzhou City to find Fat Dragon and his group.

At that moment, in the Sixth Rank Immortal Plane—

A man with a square face glared at the young woman before him, his expression extremely gloomy. "Mother-in-law!" he said, enunciating each word.

"My son may be foolish, but he is still the eldest son of the Wei Family and the future Supreme Elder of our family. He is the pillar of our family, and in terms of status, position, and strength, he far surpasses your Ji Family's second daughter."

"To be honest, I never wanted to arrange a marriage with your Ji Family."

"But unfortunately, my son has fallen head over heels for your second daughter. It was supposed to be a beneficial arrangement for both sides, and we even sent the betrothal gifts. However, your second daughter has been avoiding the marriage. Why is that?"

"If she doesn't want it, I hope she'll make it clear to my son as soon as possible so that he can give up."

As he spoke, a hint of fatigue flashed in the eyes of this seemingly fierce man.

The Wei Family was one of the top powers in the Sixth Rank Immortal Plane, 'Tide Immortal Plane', in the 'Tranquil Immortal World'. Even in the entire Sixth Rank Immortal Plane, they could rank within the top thirty. In contrast, the Ji Family couldn't even make it into the top hundred in the entire Tranquil Immortal World.

The two families were simply not on the same level.

Originally, he didn't think much of the Ji Family, but unfortunately, his son had fallen in love at first sight with the Ji Family's second daughter. Helpless, he had no choice but to agree to his son's wishes.

His son was very strong and had ample combat experience. When he went crazy, his ruthlessness even surpassed the man's own! But the only problem was that he was born with a weak mind.

Stubborn and single-minded, he was.

Logically, with his son's strength, he was destined to become the family head in the future. However, due to his weak mind, he could only become the Supreme Elder. Furthermore, since he was an only child, the position of the family head would have to be passed on to a branch family.

As long as he was alive, it was fine, but after his death, with his son's personality, he didn't know how the branch family would bully his son.

He doted on his only son, and this was already a source of worry. To make matters worse, the Ji Family's second daughter took advantage of his son's affection and treated him like a dog, ordering him around at her whim.

He understood the situation clearly, but his son didn't seem to care and allowed himself to be bossed around.

Every time he thought about these matters, he felt annoyed.

Especially the Ji Family's second daughter, who initially used his son to eliminate her enemies, but later started targeting anyone she didn't like. Eventually, without any grudges or reasons, she would randomly name powerful cultivators, claiming that she had fallen for them. His son would then obediently go and challenge these cultivators.

He always had to clean up after his son.

It was truly disgusting.

Many times, he had to suppress his anger and wanted to directly annihilate the Ji Family and take the second daughter by force. But each time, he held back, thinking that it might hurt his son's first love. However, this time, he couldn't hold back anymore.

When he questioned the Ji Family again, the second daughter's mother told him that while traveling in the Fifth Rank Immortal Plane, she had fallen for a man named Chen Qiu.

She said that if her son could defeat this man, they would officially get married. He didn't believe this nonsense; he had heard it countless times before.

The Wei Family was a well-known power in the 'Extinction Immortal Realm'. How could they endure such humiliation?

"Oh dear."

Seeing the man's darkening expression, the young woman sitting across from him smiled and said, "Look, you're getting worked up again. Let the children handle their own affairs. As elders, we shouldn't interfere. What do you think, Mother-in-law?"

"The betrothal is already set; she can't run away now. Ji Ruyue just likes to play around. After a few years, when she grows out of it, everything will be fine."

The man remained silent, his face expressionless, but then he suddenly laughed, "Ji Xiaohua, Ji Xiaohua, I've always wondered why your Ji Family has such courage. Don't you know how our Wei Family rose to power?"

"My son may be foolish."

"Do you think I'm foolish too?"

"Guess if I have a temper. Guess what will happen when I lose control of my temper, and how the Wei Family will deal with the Ji Family?"

"Oh dear."

A hint of panic flashed in Ji Xiaohua's eyes, but when she glanced at Wei Er Gong, the Wei Family's eldest son, who was sitting by the pond in a daze, her confidence returned. Pretending to be angry, she said, "Why are you suddenly calling me by my full name? We're family; why are you bringing up such formalities?"

"Well then."

"I'll contact Ji Ruyue and ask her to come back and have a meal with my son-in-law. How does that sound?"

"Huff"

The man took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said hoarsely, "Okay."

It was always like this.

Whenever he was about to lose control of his emotions, the Ji Family's solution was to bring Ji Ruyue back to have a meal with his son. But even this was better than nothing.

When his son couldn't see Ji Ruyue, he became restless and seemed to be in a trance.

After having a meal together, his son's condition would improve for a long time.

The man sighed tiredly. Sometimes, he wished his son could be a little more ruthless. With their family's power, what was wrong with taking a woman by force?

The Ji Family wasn't an easy target, but if it came to a fight, they wouldn't stand a chance against the Wei Family.

Why not just take her by force? Why did his son have to chase after her like a dog, being played with like a toy? If he wasn't his own flesh and blood, he would have wanted to kill this beast!
