Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

It now seems quite difficult to contend for the top three spots.

"Well then."

Chen Qiu shook his head and murmured softly.

This time let's just give up temporarily, and see again next year. Not having reached the Golden Core stage makes me feel a bit hesitant, somewhat lacking in confidence; what's more, I currently only have the "Dragon Vein Stone"—a top-tier material for forging.

To create a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure that is strong enough, suitable for him, and has a growth aspect, this material alone is not enough.

The timing is also not quite right.

Just when he was ready to give up and try again next year,

"Unless..."

The scholar sitting opposite suddenly thought of something, his expression odd as he said, "Unless, Brother Qiu, you can obtain a Magic Practitioner inheritance. If Brother Qiu could obtain the Magic Practitioner inheritance, your strength would greatly increase, and by then participating in the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard contest will definitely not be a problem!"

"It's just..."

"Don't just anything," Chen Qiu shook his head with some resignation, "Just tell me."

To be honest, he didn't hold out much hope; the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard contest was already tough enough, so the supposedly even more difficult Magic Practitioner inheritance was likely beyond reach.

"Here's the thing."

The scholar's expression became serious, his finger dipped in clear wine to write on the table: "Since ancient times, cultivators could basically be divided into nine main paths. Excluding some particularly obscure ones, and Loose Cultivators who practice a bit of everything, the vast majority of cultivators follow one of these nine paths."

"Magic Practitioner, talisman cultivator, Array Repairer, Alchemy Cultivator, Artifact Cultivator, Evil Cultivation, Demon Cultivation, Body Cultivation, Sword Cultivator."

"These nine paths are the nine main cultivation paths for cultivators."

"Existences like Puppet Cultivation, Gua Cultivation, Dual Cultivation, etc., are abnormalities developed over a long time and don't have corresponding inheritances."

"In the very south of Da Xia Country!"

"That is, at the edge of the Boundless Icefield, there's a Heavenly Dao Secret Realm that is always open. Inside that Secret Realm, there are inheritances for these nine paths. Just pass the corresponding challenge, and you can obtain the corresponding inheritance."

"Honestly, I'm not sure what the inheritances specifically entail, but they must be rare and capable of greatly enhancing one's power."

"Always open?" Chen Qiu's eyes flashed with surprise, "Based on what you're saying, it must have been open for at least several decades. Has no one obtained any inheritance?"

"No." Find your next read on empire

The scholar shook his head helplessly, "It's been open for at least a thousand years, those nine inheritances were there even before the founding of Da Xia Country. As long as you have the strength, you can take them at any time. But to this day, let alone the Magic Practitioner inheritance, none of the other eight inheritances have been claimed."

"I've tried for the Sword Cultivator inheritance three times."

"No chance, it's just too difficult. I even think that not even in a thousand years will someone be able to claim it."

"But I think Brother Qiu, you're not an ordinary Magic Practitioner, maybe you should give it a try."

"Hm..."

After pondering for a moment with his hand on his cheek, Chen Qiu nodded, "You make a good point."

...

That night.

After Fat Long and the scholar's brother finished their affairs, Chen Qiu purchased some dry food and prepared to head to the "Boundless Icefield." With seven days left until the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard, he first planned to check out what that Magic Practitioner inheritance was about.

Then make plans accordingly.

Before leaving the auxiliary city, Chen Qiu once again bought a large quantity of Qi Replenishing Pills. However, with the Capital being too far from the Boundless Icefield, one must stop to purge impurities if too many Qi Replenishing Pills are taken at once.

The average speed would be much slower, but even so, it's a speed the Flying Boat could hardly aspire to.

Like right now,

they had stopped in a small county town in Southern State, and this town didn't even have an inn, entirely populated by locals, who all gave them looks of scrutiny after they entered—clearly, it had been a long time since any strangers had come here.

In the end, they stayed at a temple outside the town and entered a small world within the temple.

...

In the small world, within the Chao Tian Sect.

Fat Long looked towards the scholar not far away, who was circulating his mental method to purge impurities from his Tao Foundation, and he couldn't help but lament, "This won't do, your pill consumption rate is even more exaggerated than a Magic Practitioner's. When will you find an Alchemy Cultivator for the 'Chao Tian Sect'?"

"Otherwise, buying such a large quantity of Qi Replenishing Pills every time, it's not very proper."

It was already past midnight,

and in the disciple dormitory not far away, each dormitory housed four people. Fat Long had arranged all 200+ people in the disciple dormitories. The Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills gathered so far were placed in a Storage Bag and handed over to Chen Qiu.

Those 200+ people represented Chen Qiu's most substantial wealth so far.

As long as the "Fame Ranking" exists, every day he could obtain a large amount of Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills through these people.

Like now—

Chen Qiu sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the 389 low-grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills in the Storage Bag, and he couldn't help but smile. The previous night it had been 259 pills, tonight it was 389, nearly double.

Who knows how many there will be tomorrow.

Without further ado, right when the scholar needed to purge the impurities from overdosing on the Qi Replenishing Pills and couldn't continue on the journey,

Chen Qiu began to cycle his mental method through a Grand Circulation. Then he pinched a Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill and brought it to his mouth.

...

At this moment—

Several days had passed since the release of the "Fame Ranking," and this leaderboard, which hadn't initially attracted much attention, caused quite a stir once people learned that the daily Heavenly Dao Blessing was a Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill. Many people could not sit still.

Originally, it wouldn't have mattered much—many people had a sense of their own limits. In such a big country as Da Xia, those on the leaderboard were either extremely famous in a certain domain, or notorious Evil Cultivators, or Heavenly Dao Beauties. What chance would an ordinary person have?
