NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 142: "Pink Entry?"_4
Leaning on the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella atop the mountain peak, Chen Qiu fiddled with the Heavenly Dao Ring on his index finger, already clad in the Heavenly Dao Boots and draped in a black robe as he stood in place, his complexion calm as he gazed at the "Eight-petal Demon Lotus" and the "Eight-petal Resentment Lotus" hovering above the small world.
Under the effect of the entry "All-Knowing," for the first time, he also learned about the effects of these two mystical flowers.
-
"Treasure Name": Eight-petal Demon Lotus.
"Acquisition Source": A spiritual object of heaven and earth, born in a place rich in Demonic Qi.
"Usage Effect":
1: Essential material for forging a twelve-grade Nascent Soul.
2: Material for cultivating Spiritual Treasures suitable for Demon Cultivation.
3:...
6: If a Demon Cultivator consumes it and does not perish from their body exploding, they can significantly increase their Cultivation.
-
"Treasure Name": Eight-petal Resentment Lotus.
"Acquisition Source": A spiritual object of heaven and earth, born in a place rich in resentful energy.
"Usage Effect":
1: Essential material for forging a twelve-grade Nascent Soul.
2: Material for cultivating Spiritual Treasures suitable for Evil Cultivation.
3:...
6: If an Evil Cultivator consumes it and does not perish from their body exploding, they can significantly increase their Cultivation.

Interestingly, he had only randomly chosen the names, never expecting they would actually be the names of these two Spiritual Objects.
And these two heavenly treasures essentially have the same effects.
They only correspond to different Cultivation Paths.
One aspect that was consistently the same, though, was that both were essential materials for forging a twelve-grade Nascent Soul.
"Twelve-grade Nascent Soul..."
Chen Qiu murmured in a daze. To be honest, he hadn't thought that far ahead. His current Cultivation was only at the sixth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and he hadn't considered the matter of proving a Nascent Soul. He would think about it when he reached the peak of the Great Perfection Cultivation of the Golden Core Stage.
Could it be that the Eight-petal Fire Lotus that once helped him forge a twelve-grade Golden Core featured precisely the effect of being an essential material for a twelve-grade Golden Core?
What luck he had.
At the time, he hadn't thought about a twelve-grade Golden Core at all, feeling quite satisfied with a ten-grade Golden Core.
It's also a mystery why Da Xia Country, a place ostensibly incapable of birthing a Nascent Soul, would produce such a heavenly treasure for forging a twelve-grade Nascent Soul. Moreover, he clearly remembered that the Eight-petal Demon Lotus had drifted out from within the body of a Heavenly Girl from the Flower Offering Sect.
"...Huh!"
After a long silence, Chen Qiu didn't return to the inn but instead sat cross-legged on the mountain peak and started cultivating again.
There was still more than an hour before dawn.
The ten Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills that were due to arrive at midnight were still quietly lying inside his Heavenly Dao Ring.
As he closed his eyes and circulated his mental method, he quickly entered a state of cultivation.
...
Three hours later.
Chen Qiu let out a long breath and performed introspection to check the progress of his Cultivation within his body.
-
"Cultivation": Golden Core Stage sixth layer (80.1%).
-
Originally, at the fifth layer of the Golden Core Stage, one Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill could increase his Cultivation Progress by 2%. After reaching the sixth layer, it could only increase his Cultivation Progress by 1%.
A night of hard cultivation.
He had only increased his Cultivation Progress by 10.1%.
Fortunately, he didn't have much to do in the following days.
Chen Qiu was unwilling to travel further and intended to break through to the seventh layer of the Golden Core Stage Cultivation in one go.
...
Two days later.
Chen Qiu opened his eyes slowly as he sat cross-legged on the mountain peak. He had been sitting here and hadn't gone anywhere else, continuously cultivating for two days and nights and after consuming another 20 Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills.
He finally made his breakthrough to the seventh layer of the Golden Core Stage.
His Cultivation had reached—
-
"Cultivation": Golden Core Stage Seventh Layer (0.2％).
-
He nodded in satisfaction, feeling the tremendous Spiritual Energy within his Dantian. With the intensity of Spiritual Energy he possessed now, the Thunder Summoning Technique he could release would be far more powerful than the one he used during the Sea Clan invasion.
Golden Core Seventh Layer.
This level of Cultivation was now sufficiently secure, enough that even if he went to the Xuantian Continent, he believed that even if there were those he could not defeat, he would not be hunted down too miserably.
And in the event of a truly fierce battle, he could always go all in with his 9.8 billion Merit points.
He was a little afraid to imagine the power of the "Merit Attack Order" activated by going all in with 9.8 billion Merit points!
Even a Nascent Soul at its peak would likely die under his single strike.
He then looked towards the familiar panel that emerged above the Dantian in his body, shrouded in clouds and mist.
-
"Cultivation has significantly increased, formally stepping into the Seventh Layer of the Golden Core."
"Please choose one of the three random entries below within ten breaths."
1:
"Entry name": Merit Saint.
"Entry level": Pink.
"Entry effect": Each time you kill a demon beast, you will gain one point of Merit.
2:
"Entry name": Merit Protection.
"Entry level": Green.
"Entry effect": The more Merit points you have, the less damage you will suffer from Heavenly Tribulation.
3:
"Entry name": Merit Land.
"Entry level": Yellow.
"Entry effect": The more sinful points you have, the faster your movement technique speed becomes.
-
"Pink Entry?"
Chen Qiu's eyes flashed with surprise as he randomly encountered another Pink Entry, which he hadn't seen in a long time.
A Pink Entry was an exceptionally special kind of entry.
All Pink Entries, without exception, are capable of unlimited growth.
And the three Pink Entries he'd encountered so far, including the one from the scholar, made it four in total. These four Pink Entries basically enhanced some attribute for each demon beast killed.
For instance, this Pink Entry "Merit Saint" would add one Merit point for every demon beast killed.
This meant that Fat Long's "Hundred Percent Accuracy" could only be limited to its kind—if demon beasts were included, exposure in the Xuantian Continent would likely make Fat Long a highly coveted target. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
Any sect that had a disciple with a Pink Entry would probably kidnap Fat Long.
Not for any other reason,
But to let Fat Long breed with some fast-spawning demon beasts, endlessly fathering offspring.
One side breeds, the other side kills.
One side kills, the other side breeds.
A veritable demon beast-producing machine.
Although this entry wasn't bad, he didn't plan on taking it. After all, killing a demon beast just to gain one Merit point—he had 9.8 billion Merit points already.
He'd have to kill 9.8 billion demon beasts to match that many Merit points.
Where on earth was he going to find 9.8 billion demon beasts to kill?
However, he quite liked the second entry "Merit Protection." He had some idea about Heavenly Tribulation; at higher stages of cultivation, each breakthrough of a Great Realm, even each small realm, might encounter Heavenly Tribulation.
Only by enduring the Heavenly Tribulation could one truly surpass the barrier.
Choosing this entry, with his 9.8 billion Merit points, he believed he could take a bath in the most violent of Heavenly Tribulations.
As long as he didn't squander his 9.8 billion Merit points in one go.
The third entry was even less relevant to him. The faster movement technique speed with more sinful points—he hadn't even heard of sinful points, and the Da Xia Heavenly Dao rankings did not have a list for sinful points.
He didn't know how to increase sinful points.
Seeing as he was neither an Evil Cultivator nor a Demon Cultivator, and wouldn't commit overtly evil acts, he certainly couldn't increase sinful points.
If only the entry effect were changed...
Changed to, the more moral points you have, the faster your movement technique speed.
He would choose this entry without hesitation; it would be most suitable for him. He felt that since there was a Merit Land entry, there must also be a completely opposite corresponding entry.
