Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"No."

Fat Long shook his head affirmatively, "At least I haven't heard of any place that has."

"This really is a problem," Chen Qiu fell into deep thought, unable to figure out how to solve this issue for quite some time. It was indeed a drawback; it wasn't practical to embark on the Cultivation Path with a bunch of children in tow, but neither could he just let the children meet their demise.

Even if he had to do it, he would need to acquire the 'Immortal Road' entry before dealing with them.

Otherwise, it would be quite wasteful.

Killing them in the womb? That felt even stranger and more sinful.

...

Chen Qiu didn't answer right away; he couldn't think of any good solution either, merely gazing subconsciously at the remaining two entry jade slips in his Storage Ring.

One of them was indeed quite useful to him.

-

'Entry Name': Every Step a Fortress.

'Entry Level': Grey.

'Entry Effect': After you master the 'Inch as Miles' movement technique, when you employ this technique, the distance you cross will be enhanced fivefold, and it will consume nature's spiritual energy instead of your own spiritual energy. However, you will not be able to control the direction or the landing spot, both will be entirely random.

'Inch as Miles'.

Like the 'Thunder Summoning Technique', it is one of the more basic spells in the Cultivation World. Even many cultivators who aren't Magic Practitioners, such as Sword Cultivators and Alchemy Cultivators, would know 'Thunder Summoning Technique'.

After all, it's not too complex of a spell.

Just as many cultivators would learn the 'Spring Rain Technique', primarily used to irrigate the spirit fields, but many would also use it to shower when outside.

'Inch as Miles' is a very classic and widely disseminated movement technique.

It's suitable for close-range combat but not for travel and escape.

It allows one to swiftly move to a position several meters away.

It's very fast, even faster than some long-range Teleportation techniques, but the consumption of spiritual energy is quite significant, making it difficult to use repeatedly in a short time. It's a technique used in critical moments to dodge lethal blows from enemies.

But with this entry...

The movement technique becomes out of the ordinary. Just the fact that it doesn't consume spiritual energy is strong, meaning it can be used without any limit. Its speed is faster than many long-range techniques.

Only...

The randomness of the landing spot and direction implies high unpredictability, such as... you could teleport directly in front of an enemy, essentially face to face.

However, despite the drawback, Chen Qiu still shattered the jade slip, and the name of the entry gradually appeared on his Tao Foundation.

In the short term, the effect of this entry was quite good for him, at least making up for the shortcoming of not having a movement technique.

Later, when he acquired a better movement technique and no longer needed 'Inch as Miles', he could self-destruct the entry.

'Inch as Miles' is a very common technique; his small world even had a pile of over a dozen spell Secret Realms for it, though he didn't plan to practice it.

Tomorrow, he would go to Kai Mountain City and purchase an 'Inch as Miles' from a Heavenly Dao Secret Realm product.

Once mastered, it will be at the Great Achievement Realm.

...

But when Chen Qiu looked at the last entry jade slip, his expression gradually turned odd, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say, just tossing the entry jade slip into Fat Long's arms.

"Take a look for yourself."

-

'Entry Name': Parents Untouched by Foes.

'Entry Level': Green.

'Entry Effect': Any attack you suffer will be distributed to your progeny, and any attack your parents suffer will be transferred to you.

-

What an entry, Parents Untouched by Foes!

It could be said to magnify filial piety!

To a certain extent, for some species with strong reproductive capabilities, this could be a very powerful entry.

This world isn't just inhabited by the Human Race.

There are the Demon Race, the bona fide Demon Race, not those Demon Clan cultivators.

There's also the Devil Clan, and so on.

However, within the bounds of Da Xia, the Human Race is the highest ranking, any Devil Clan must stay obediently within the designated areas, and those from the Demon Race haven't been seen in many years; it's unknown if they've already gone extinct.

Some Demons, like the Rabbit Demon, can have many in one litter. For those capable of such reproduction, this entry is quite powerful.

And...

The entry seems rather suitable for Fat Long as well.

...

"What do you think?" Chen Qiu looked at Fat Long with a complex expression, "It's like the heavens themselves want you to have children. Just have tens of thousands, and you could directly withstand a Golden Core level cultivator.

"As long as your children don't die off, you're certain not to die.

"That would make you invincible.

"Plus, you don't have a father or mother, so there are no side effects."

"Brother Qiu, hold on..." Fat Long looked bewildered at the 'Parents Untouched by Foes' entry, muttering in a daze, "Let me sort this out, why do I feel so confused?

"I really don't want to have children, I'm here for cultivation, not to have a bunch of kids?

"I'm still aiming to achieve a Nascent Soul!"

...

And so, after several sticks of incense had passed!

"I've got an idea!!!" Fat Long suddenly shouted in excitement, almost causing the spiritual energy of Chen Qiu, who was meditating and cultivating, to backflow. He couldn't help opening his eyes and said irritably, "Out with it!"

"Look, Brother Qiu." Fat Long spoke earnestly, counting on his fingers, "I now have an entry that is extremely suitable for Dual Cultivation, but I also have the 'Hundred Percent Accuracy' entry that is not conducive to Dual Cultivation, right?"

"But you know about reproductive barriers, right?"

"Humans and Demons can't procreate."

"So, I can look for some female Demons, thus perfectly harnessing my 'Heavenly Destiny Dual Cultivation' entry while ignoring the negative effects of the 'Hundred Percent Accuracy' entry."
