Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

It's called the Seven-Colored Wooden Umbrella.

But it is more appropriately called the Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella, with its main structure being the seven-colored fishing rod, painted in seven colors, as smooth as jade. Holding it feels just right—not too slippery, with a slight roughness that gives it a tangible quality when gripped in hand.

No need to drip blood.

Chen Qiu, sitting cross-legged on his bed, gently exhaled his Golden Core, his eyes tightly shut as he circulated his mental method. All he needed to do was to bring the Golden Core close to the Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella, and then after about six hours or so, it would be fully refined.

By then, this Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella would become his lifebound magical artifact.

However, just as he had begun to circulate his mental method, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. He saw that the Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella had already transformed into a miniature version hovering over his Dantian, evidently already fully refined.

"..."

Chen Qiu remained silent and did not speak.

The speed was much faster than he had imagined, and he discovered another hidden effect of the twelve-grade Golden Core—it could instantly refine a Spirit Treasure. After all... a twelve-grade Golden Core was top grade, and no Spirit Treasure dared to act up.

With a thought,

The Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella appeared outside his body in a blink of an eye, flying continuously inside the room at his command.

After successfully refining it, he felt a mysterious and profound connection between his spirit and this lifebound Spirit Treasure. Naturally, the power of the Spirit Treasure would significantly increase after becoming a lifebound one, and its use became more seamless. However, the downside was that if the lifebound Spirit Treasure was damaged, he would also suffer accordingly.

After closing his eyes and feeling the specific effects of the Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella,

He opened his eyes, a flicker of astonishment passing through them.

This Spirit Treasure...

Was stronger than he had imagined.

Spirit Treasure grades are divided into—

Foundation Establishment High Grade... Foundation Establishment Top Grade... Golden Core High Grade... Golden Core Top Grade, etc.

The higher the grade of the Spirit Treasure, the stronger its power. At the same time, only the corresponding Cultivation can unleash its full power. If one with insufficient Cultivation forcefully activates a very high-grade Spirit Treasure, at best they would seriously injure themselves, and at worst, they would be drained of all Spiritual Energy and even their Dantian would be absorbed, turning them into a dried corpse.

This Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure of his was a growing Spirit Treasure; its grade would continuously rise as its nurture grade increased.

This Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella was of Golden Core Low Grade, the same grade as his Cultivation.

But...

There are grades even within the same level, such as different Golden Core Low Grade Spirit Treasures having varying strengths, depending on which Cultivation could fully exert the Spirit Treasure's power.

And Spirit Treasure grades are divided into three kinds.

Human Level, Earth Level, Heavenly Level.

Currently, all artifact cultivators in Da Xia Country can only create Human Level Spirit Treasures due to a break in the transmission of knowledge, hence nobody discusses this matter, and it's assumed all Spirit Treasures are of Human Level.

And all past Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasures were of Earth Level.

This is also why Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasures are highly sought after, and this Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella in his hand, under the auspices of his entry and a strand of Heavenly Dao Destiny, had reached the Heavenly Level.

Golden Core Low Grade, Top Heavenly Level Spirit Treasure.

This grade was already the strongest among all Golden Core Low Grade Spirit Treasures.

There were many precious natural resources involved in this, attributable to his exceptional, yet uncommon material— the seven-colored fishing rod. It also involved the entry and a strand of Heavenly Dao Destiny.

Under all these factors, barring any accidents, this Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella could be used indefinitely.

An unlimited growth grade.

No matter how high his Cultivation, it could always be of use, although breaking through a major grade, such as from Golden Core Top Grade to Nascent Soul Low Grade, would require replenishing with some precious natural treasures for promotion.

And the effects of this Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella were even more astonishing.

The effects are simple, just three.

-

When you wield this Spirit Treasure, the power of the spells released will be enhanced, and the consumption of Spiritual Energy will be reduced by fifty percent.

When the canopy is spread open, it can transform into a defensive Spirit Treasure, capable of blocking a full-force attack from a fourth-level Golden Core Cultivation and below.

When the canopy is open, Divine Sense will automatically lock onto all beings within its range that you consider to be enemies.

-

As the grade of this Spirit Treasure rises, these three effects will also improve.

Reflecting on these three effects, Chen Qiu gradually fell silent, not because they weren't strong, but because they seemed almost too powerful.

The first effect needs no further discussion.

There's nothing much to say.

Nearly all magical practitioner's Spirit Treasures contain this effect; it's a universal effect. For a magical practitioner's Spirit Treasury, this effect is the most essential and the most important, although other magical practitioners' Spirit Treasures don't offer nearly as ridiculous an enhancement as his does.

A fifty percent reduction in the consumption of Spiritual Energy theoretically equates to a direct doubling of combat power—you can cast twice as many spells.

Originally, under his full fire, using various entries such as "Ten Layers of Spellcasting," he could emit over four thousand Thunder Dragons.

Now, it would be eight thousand.

Moreover, it also enhanced his spell's power, making the Thunder Summoning Technique he now wielded with the Seven-Colored Jade Umbrella even more powerful and intense. And not just for the Thunder Summoning Technique—but for spells like the "Nine Poison Nether Soul Technique," which he didn't use often, would also have increased power.

The second effect integrates offense and defense. Defensive Spirit Treasures are extremely important for magical practitioners. Everyone knows that among the same level of Cultivation, the defense of magical practitioners is the weakest, after all, a person can only possess so many resources. If you spend most of your resources enhancing your offensive capabilities, naturally, there won't be much left to boost your defense.

Unless one directly ignores their offensive capabilities and exchanges all their resources for defensive Spirit Treasures and defensive spells, but if so, what's the point of choosing to be a magical practitioner? One might as well choose Body Cultivation.

Unless, like Qu Qi, you have an abundance of resources and can afford to buy many Protective Spiritual Treasures and Protective Talismans, naturally integrating offense and defense.
