Chapter 439: Chapter 178: Could There Be Some Unspeakable Secret?
Quzhou, Qi City.
Not long after the sound of the Heavenly Dao Decree, Fat Long and the scholar found Chen Qiu. The Secret Realm for the Nascent Soul strength rankings finished late, while the other two had already ended much earlier. Only the Nascent Soul strength ranking list was delayed a bit longer.
“Brother Qiu, we’re back.”
At a roadside stall in Qi City, Fat Long and the scholar went straight to Chen Qiu. Especially Fat Long, with a complex expression, stood still somewhat uncertain about how to start the conversation but still managed to say through gritted teeth and a hoarse voice.
“Brother Qiu, there’s something I’ve been wanting to talk to you about. I want to resign from my position as the Sect Grand Elder of Chao Tian Sect. From now on, I’ll just stay in the mountain behind the Chao Tian Sect; after all, those brown bears also need someone to feed them. From now on, I’ll be responsible for these things, and also, your Lunar Night Demon Wolf needs someone to take care of it regularly. The sect needs such a person, and I think I’m quite suitable for the job.”
...
“You?”
Chen Qiu looked up at the two in front of him and then waved them off: “Sit down and then talk. Have some food, it’s early in the morning.”
“What’s wrong, did you get bullied outside?”
“You want to quit just after coming back?”
“No one bullied me… it’s just…” Fat Long spoke in a somewhat weak voice: “I just feel that with my strength, including my contributions to the sect, it’s difficult to convince the public. Although the scholar’s Cultivation is also quite low now, with the aid of the Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill and his comprehension of Sword Intent, he’ll soon soar up.”
“As for me… I’m completely useless in the future.”
“I can’t do Dual Cultivation anymore, either.”
After speaking, Fat Long didn’t waste more words. Instead, he displayed his third entry to Chen Qiu: “This is the entry I got from choosing among three after my Golden Core breakthrough.”
“Hmm…”
Chen Qiu looked at the ‘Ignore Barrier’ entry displayed in front of him. After a while, he picked up a piece of dirt-caked cake and put it into his mouth: “No problem, you can still do Dual Cultivation. This won’t affect your ninefold cultivation progress.”
“But I’d be certain to get pregnant every time, whether with a Demon Cultivator or a Human Cultivator.”
“What’s wrong with getting pregnant?”
“I have to raise children! I can’t possibly have a bunch of kids trailing behind me, can I?”
“Kill them all.”
“…”
Fat Long fell silent.
“Alright.”
Chen Qiu interrupted Fat Long’s reverie, saying with a light laugh: “Since you’ve been given the position of Sect Grand Elder, you can’t just resign unless you’re dead. Don’t worry, I’ll think of a solution for you. There must be a way. First, you and the scholar go and wait for a while in the mountain behind the Chao Tian Sect.”
“Have the scholar keep you company and talk for a while to avoid feeling too repressed.”
After that, he got up, took Fat Long and the scholar into his small world, and started walking towards the outskirts of Qi City.
He had a very important task to do right now.
That was to activate the Mid-grade Heavenly Dao Roulette.
Find a feng shui treasure land.
He had already returned from the Heavenly Palace, and a third statue of him had once again been erected inside. It must be said that the filters and beautification the Heavenly Dao had applied to him were a bit too heavy.
The reality was—
He stood at the entrance to an alley, resting his hands on the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, gazing at the rising sun on the horizon. It was a very ordinary scene.
But the portrayal inside the Heavenly Palace was—
He stood in a black robe with an indifferent face, in front of a black hole that seemed to swallow one’s soul, while the sunlight falling on him gave his face a soft glow.
Face towards the sun, back facing the darkness.
It looked pretty impressive.
Some residual celestial power was still lingering on this statue, from which one could vaguely sense the intended atmosphere. There were only a few strokes in the carving, but it gave an extraordinary feeling.
After admiring his three statues in the Heavenly Palace for a while, he took another look at the other milestone tasks to see if there was any that he could quickly complete. Then as usual, he peered through the crack of the Heavenly Palace Gate to take a look outside.
After finding nothing of note, he left the Heavenly Palace.

Several of the remaining milestones had rather difficult tasks.
For example, one of the milestone tasks was to have accumulated three hundred billion points of merit or sin. This was a joke; he thought no one on the entire Xuantian Continent could possibly complete this task!
What did three hundred billion points of merit even mean?
When he attested to the Nascent Soul at the twelfth grade, he received less than ninety billion points of merit. To gather three hundred billion, he would have to attest to twelve-grade Nascent Soul four times. Four times!
In so many years on the entire Xuantian Continent, there hadn’t been a single twelve-grade Nascent Soul, and now they wanted him to do it four times.
Even if mending the heavens could yield hundreds of billions of points of merit, he would need to do it three times.
But the heavens are not something from the mortal world, where you could keep breaking it three times for you to mend.
And three hundred billion points of sin? That was even more preposterous. He slaughtered an entire Evil State and only received 2.9 billion points of sin. To achieve three hundred billion points of sin… who knows, even if he slaughtered the entire Xuantian Continent, would it be enough?
He probably still wouldn’t come close.
Chen Qiu looked at his own 2.9 billion points of sin on the Heavenly Dao rankings, let out a long sigh, and felt somewhat helpless.
He obtained an entry called ‘Merit Land’ when he stepped into the seventh level of the Golden Core.
–
‘Entry Name’: Merit Land
‘Entry Level’: Yellow.
‘Entry Effect’: The more sin points you have, the faster your movement technique speed becomes.
–
The effect was simple: the more sin points, the happier the movement technique speed. It’s safe to say that if it had been matched with his 2.9 billion points of sin, the speed would have been outrageous; his speed might have maxed out to the limit!
Within the same Great Realm, no one would be faster than him in movement technique speed!
Even a Divinity Transformation, if they simply competed in movement technique without using other means, might not be as good as him.
But…
He didn’t choose this entry at that time!
He had never heard of sin points at the time, nor did he know where to get this entry from. There was a better entry available for him to choose, ‘Merit Protection’: the entry effect was simple, the higher the merit points, the higher the success rate of overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation.
