Chapter 401: Chapter 169: Time Will Come._2
I won’t rush it anymore. After reaching the fourth layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, which is the mid-Nascent Soul Stage, a single Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill can still increase 1% of Cultivation Progress. Under the effect of tenfold efficiency, that’s 10%, but I need to slow down a bit now.
Ascending four realms in three days, even my Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul is somewhat overwhelmed at this point. Advancing too quickly can lead to instability in one’s realm.
First, I’ll spend a few hours stabilizing my realm, then I’ll consume all five of the remaining Nascent Soul cultivation pills in one go and surge to the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul stage!
However, before that—
I’ll choose an entry.
...
Chen Qiu looked at the panel enveloped in clouds above his Dantian that popped up again after his breakthrough to the fourth layer of the Nascent Soul stage. It goes without saying, the feeling of cultivating at ten times the speed coupled with the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill was simply too exhilarating.
The only slight regret is.
The Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills will soon be finished. Only five are left.
–
“Cultivation has greatly increased, officially entering the fourth layer of the Nascent Soul Stage.”
“Please choose from the three random entries below within ten breaths.”
1:
“Entry name”: Cascade of Long Hair.
“Entry level”: White.
“Entry effect”: Your hair will grow rapidly at all times, and as your Cultivation Realm improves, so will the toughness and hardness of your hair.
2:
“Entry name”: Merit Nascent Soul.
“Entry level”: Purple.
“Entry effect”: When your merit points exceed one billion, and only if your cultivation is at the Nascent Soul stage, there’s a chance that this entry will appear. This entry can transform your Nascent Soul into a Merit Nascent Soul, its power equivalent to a Fourth-grade Nascent Soul, and through further consumption of merit points, it can be elevated up to a maximal Ninth-grade Nascent Soul.
3:
“Entry name”: Time will come.
“Entry level”: Blue.
“Entry effect”: Each time you are faced with three choices of entries, you may spend 100,000 merit points for an additional chance to randomly select an entry. Each chance to reselect only applies to a single entry and each three-choice opportunity can only be used once.
–
“Hmm?”
A gleam flickered in Chen Qiu’s eyes. The first entry was a White entry, and it was indeed surprising to encounter a White entry at the Nascent Soul stage. Such entry levels are commonly found during the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stages and are quite rare to come across at the Nascent Soul stage.
At first glance, the effect seems to be of little use.
But clearly, it’s a precursor for some powerful entry or an entry from a certain set.
That involves a bit of a gamble.
If you selected this entry when your cultivation was low, and later on, you couldn’t draw related entries that match with it, this entry wouldn’t just fail to enhance your combat abilities but become a burden instead.
At least for now, he hadn’t seen any entry that could be linked with this Cascade of Long Hair entry.
He didn’t need the Merit Nascent Soul.
Like the Merit Golden Core, he wasn’t interested.
With a Twelfth-grade Nascent Soul in hand, who would care for a Merit Nascent Soul that could only reach a maximum of Ninth-grade?
However, the third entry “Time will come” was quite appealing to him. This entry meant that every time he had to make a three-way choice, he got an additional chance for random selection, increasing the probability of getting an entry that was more suitable for him.
Without hesitation.
He made his choice of the third entry before the ten breaths were up.
…
“Continue!”
Chen Qiu spent three to four hours solidifying his Cultivation Realm, ensuring that his rapid increase in cultivation wouldn’t lead to instability. With the effect of the Twelfth-grade Nascent Soul from the Heavenly Dao, stabilizing his Cultivation Realm was still quite straightforward and effortless.
Before starting to cultivate, he fed his Nascent Soul a stalk of Evil Wood.
This time, instead of pulling out a Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill, what came out was a “High-grade Enlightenment Stone.”
Its effect was to instantly elevate all spells and cultivation realms up to the Nascent Soul and below directly to the realm of Great Perfection.
Hmm, a nice item.
Not bad.
Although the spells he currently possesses are mostly at Great Perfection, and there’s no immediate need for the Enlightenment Stone, keeping it for when he learns a new spell isn’t a bad idea either.
After completing all this.
Chen Qiu returned to sitting cross-legged on the elliptical stone, slowly closed his eyes, placed a Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill into his mouth, swallowed it, and began circulating his mental method. Meanwhile, the surrounding Mid-grade Spirit Stones flickered and were clearly about to be exhausted.
…
Five hours later.
The Mid-grade Spirit Stones around Chen Qiu had lost their luster, shattered into pieces, and fell to the ground. Days of continuous cultivation had rendered this small Spirit Gathering Array unsustainable, depleting all its Spiritual Energy and completely breaking apart.
Such a small Spirit Gathering Array was so costly in terms of Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
One can hardly imagine the astronomical number of Mid-grade Spirit Stones that would be required daily if the massive Spirit Gathering Array of Chao Tian Sect were to be activated. Did Chao Tian Sect have that much wealth back then? Where did they get so many Mid-grade Spirit Stones from?
They didn’t leave behind any means of making a fortune either, so he could see if there was anything he might learn from.
The only wealth-generating method he could think of was—
Slaying demons and eliminating evils.
But that felt somewhat unrefined, and he thought that Chao Tian Sect must have had more efficient methods for amassing wealth in the past; otherwise, how could they afford such a gold-thirsty giant like the Sect’s massive Spirit Gathering Array.

After opening his eyes, Chen Qiu looked at his Cultivation Progress.
“Cultivation”: Nascent Soul Stage fifth layer (19.6%).
Mid-Nascent Soul Stage now.
Just three days were all it took to advance from the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage to the fifth layer. His progression in cultivation was a terrifying presence in the entire Cultivation World, unless he was a prodigy nurtured by a major sect with all their resources.
