NOVPUBThe second entry had a similar sly charm to the first, both belonging to the category of entries designed to irritate others. With this entry, one could completely avoid close combat by activating a multitude of spells from a distance and then simply turning around to flee.
The remaining spells would then travel towards the enemy at an extremely slow pace.
Of course, they were bound to miss.
But if the enemy, after a fruitless pursuit, returned to their cultivation and seclusion, there was a not-so-small chance they would, during their practice, suddenly find themselves facing a barrage of Thunder Dragons.
Well...
This entry did not seem particularly useful, at least not for him. His "Thunder Summoning Technique" focused on instantaneous activation with zero startup time, making absolute rapid casting. This entry was almost entirely detrimental for him, with no real benefits.
And as for the last entry, there was no need to mention it.
The Dual Cultivation entry was completely irrelevant to him. The chances of a woman acquiring the "Nine Ox Power" entry were extremely slim, but no matter how small the probability, it was not impossible. For Dual Cultivation entries, it seemed like "Nine Ox Power" was considered a foundational entry, the base of all entry sets.
If he remembered correctly, this entry did not have an Entry Jade Slip, meaning it was completely up to fate.
It was a pity since it seemed unlikely that Da Xia Country would produce any Dual Cultivation Sacred Bodies in the future. After all, since the day Liu Zide orchestrated that live broadcast in Da Xia, many who possessed the Nine Ox Power had been wooed by sects and gambled away their self-extinguishing root.
Chen Qiu shook his head but said nothing.
Instead, he silently spent 100,000 merit points to start the randomization of the third entry, having already made up his mind that no matter how worthless the newly sifted entry was, as long as it fit him even the slightest bit, he would choose it. After all, he no longer had a choice.
This time, his luck was not very good.
Perhaps his luck had been exhausted last time.
Suddenly—
The panel, shrouded in mist, began to blur as the third entry slowly emerged into a brand new entry.
-
'Entry Name': Red spider lily.
'Entry Level': Purple.
'Entry Effect': A red spider lily will grow in your Dantian. At the start of each month, this red spider lily will randomly wither or bloom. If it withers, your cultivation speed and spell power will be reduced to one-tenth for that month. If it blooms, your cultivation speed and spell power will be amplified nine times for that month.

"..."
Chen Qiu stood expressionlessly silent, not speaking for a long time.
Fortunately, after his breakthrough to the fifth level of Void Refining, the time allowed for choosing entries increased from ten breaths to one hundred, giving him plenty of time to make his selection. There was no need to rush.
He had already decided that he would choose this new entry if it had even a slight fit for him after being re-randomized.
What he did not expect was that it was not only a poor match for him, it was utterly useless.
This entry might be useful for some people, as when the red spider lily blossomed, it not only greatly increased the cultivation speed but also amplified spell power by nine times.
An amplification of spell power by nine times, what was the concept?
This was equivalent to breaking through several small realms of combat power, a wildly exaggerated existence. Even if we were merely considering spell power, the effect produced by a spell cast by someone at the ninth level of Void Refining would not necessarily surpass that of one at the first level, reaching a nine-fold difference.
Of course, this is without considering other techniques.
Just considering the gap between Cultivation and the vast Spiritual Energy...
This entry could directly bring about a ninefold increase in Spell power, which indeed seems a bit outrageous. As long as the flowers bloom, it would be akin to an unstoppable force able to slay gods and men alike.
But for him...
It was completely useless. He shied away from any entry that provided random battle power. Instead of fluctuating between godly and woeful, he preferred his power to stay within a sufficiently stable range. It gave him a sense of security and spared him the worry of facing danger when weakest.
These four entries were the rewards from his latest Cultivation breakthrough.
After a long silence...
Chen Qiu let out a sigh and chose the first entry named "Carrying Hammer Ant." Although none of the four entries were particularly useful to him, the first at least had no downsides; the others had significant drawbacks.
...
Once he confirmed this entry...
Sitting cross-legged on the Xuantian Throne, Chen Qiu's thoughts stirred, and soon—
He saw a little ant holding a silver hammer, its face serious, appearing in his palm. It was an odd sensation; he could sense a grave seriousness from the ant's facial expression.
Standing utterly rigid.
There was a tension, as if wherever it stood, it stood as a soldier ready for battle.
"Hmm?"
Chen Qiu looked at the little ant in his hand with a raised eyebrow and surprise in his eyes, as he realized that although the entry's effect seemed insignificant, the method of activation was extremely rare.
In other words, he didn't need to lock onto his enemy with Divine Sense.
He just needed to know the enemy's appearance and name, and he could send the little ant in his hand flying toward the foe. Then the ant would use its tiny hammer to deliver a fierce blow to the enemy's head until the opponent died or the ant could not continue.
He had heard of such entries in the Xuantian Continent, but had never encountered one. Initially, he had been very cautious, avoiding showing his face, so others wouldn't see him and use such an entry from afar.
But since acquiring "Nascent Soul Defense," an entry that could protect him from rule-based kills, he had let his guard down and had stopped concealing his face.
Although he kept his defenses up, he had never actually come across this entry.
And he never imagined that one of the entries he didn't care much for would turn out to be activated in such a manner.
"Not bad."
Chen Qiu chuckled lightly, fiddling with the little ant in his hand. Even if its effect was useless, he couldn't deny the activation method was interesting.
And...
It wasn't entirely useless, right?
He toyed with the ant, thoughtfully considering his options without saying a word. After all, with attributes like "Absolute Immortality" and the ability to "ignore any shackles," perhaps if he got an entry that could amplify his Summons, he could transform this little ant into a shield with extremely strong defenses?
He hadn't seen an entry that interacted with his Summons before, but he suspected there might be some since there were too many entries to keep track of.
And perhaps, in certain Secret Realms or Forbidden Lands, he could utilize this ant's ability to ignore any shackles to scout ahead or convey messages?
Not bad at all.
Chen Qiu pondered, poking the tiny hammer in the palm ant's hand, not saying much but subtly forming a new idea.
