Chapter 143: His Name is Chen Qiu, He Time-Traveled Not Long Ago._5
As a result, Chen Qiu was able to attain the twelve-grade Golden Core before the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard began.
It was actually quite obvious.
This Artifact Cultivator chess piece was named Ning Taiping.
The sword cultivator chess piece from the Capital was called Ji Taiping.
Both of their names contained Taiping.
But...
Heavenly plans are no match for human ingenuity; for some unknown reason, those Artifact Cultivators with second-grade Golden Cores didn't come looking for trouble with Chen Qiu at all, which meant that he didn't get to acquire a large number of second-grade Golden Cores in Fei City as he had originally planned.
Instead, he obtained a large number of second-grade Golden Cores in an "adventure secret realm" that wasn't part of the plan at all, and he also obtained a heavenly treasure like the Seven-Colored Fishing Pole.
His plan was to...
Support the "Capital's Qu Clan" by having the Qu family acquire a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures related to Magic Practitioners, and then go back to retrieve them later.
However, the plan clearly went astray; in other words, aside from the beginning where it went as planned, everything after that went off course. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Take, for example, the Chao Tian Sect's Ancient Forbidden Land beneath the Boundless Icefield—its treasures had already been taken by him in his ninth life, and during that life, he adopted a little pet, which was Little Wolf.
Because he couldn't bear the thought of Little Wolf being buried with him...
He left it behind, waiting for his tenth life to claim it.
As for the fox oil in that Ancient Forbidden Land, it was "Little Wolf" who regularly added it at fixed intervals. There was nothing special about it; Little Wolf was simply afraid of the dark.
The reason why the poisonous gases in the Ancient Forbidden Land had no effect on Little Wolf is simply because they were made up of the farts that Little Wolf had let out over the past three years. They could not dissipate and continued to accumulate in the Ancient Forbidden Land, gradually forming a poisonous fog.
In his ninth life, he frequently punished Little Wolf for its stinky farts, which is also why Little Wolf was cowering in fear in the corner the instant it saw him.
It looked like it knew it had done something wrong and was afraid of being beaten.
And the secret chamber behind the wall of the Ancient Ruins was also a place where he used to retreat; he had lived there for a while in his ninth life, and during that time, Little Wolf stayed with him there.
In theory—
The Chao Tian Sect Ancient Ruins were not supposed to be opened so soon; according to the plan, it would take another three months before it opened, at which time the full truth would be revealed to him, but the issue was that he had instructed Liu Zide to massively purchase Evil Wood in Fei City.
Due to the lack of Evil Wood to suppress them, the resentful spirits beneath Fei City became increasingly restless.
And the Ancient Ruins of the Chao Tian Sect were directly connected to the earth's depths through numerous resentful spirits beneath Fei City. With the resentful spirits' constant battering of the tunnel walls, the opening time of the Chao Tian Sect's Ancient Ruins was advanced by three months.
At that time, his main strategic consideration was that the world was on the brink of chaos, and with every update of the Heavenly Dao, countless secret realms and opportunities would arise. With opportunities like the Step by Step and Seven-colored term and the sole expansion of Spiritual Energy prearranged, he was poised to seize the greatest fruits among those opportunities.
Many were accidents.
For example, "Three Nascent Soul bodies"!
"..."
With these thoughts, Chen Qiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth; he had gained his body through Magic Practitioner heritage, the Heavenly Pride of the Evil Clan through Evil Cultivation heritage, and the scholar through Sword Cultivator heritage, thus obtaining three Nascent Soul bodies.
But in reality—
The path he had arranged for himself was not like this at all!
The scholar's case was fine, but the third Nascent Soul body he had arranged for himself was supposed to be from "Alchemy Cultivator heritage"!!!
He still remembered his first time in Fei City when he encountered the second beauty of the Heavenly Dao.
She was an extremely fat girl, carried on a palanquin and accompanied by loud gongs and drums as she paraded through the streets.
At the time, Fat Long even joked about bringing home such a girl and cohabitating for three years, yet she remained a virgin.
Afterwards, he didn't have much contact with this girl.
But in reality, buried within this girl was a story he had arranged at the time; with just a little probing, one would discover she had always loved an Alchemy Cultivator. This Alchemy Cultivator had low Cultivation and was particularly timid, and although he adored the plump girl, he never dared to reveal his affection.
Similarly, the girl always loved that Alchemy Cultivator, and because she was self-conscious about her figure, she did not dare to express her feelings.
Thus, she could only paraded through the streets every day with gongs and drums as a pretext, so she could secretly catch a glimpse of the man she loved.
This Alchemy Cultivator was actually a genius of Alchemy Cultivation that he had discovered back then, and, with the boost of the second beauty of the Heavenly Dao, he could have easily overcome the Alchemy Cultivator heritage!
That was the third Nascent Soul body he had prepared for himself.
But...
He never even ventured in that direction.
Instead, through a bizarre stroke of luck, the Heavenly Pride of the Evil Clan overcame the Evil Cultivation heritage, delivering the third Nascent Soul body into his hands, along with a "Heavenly Pride Order," something completely outside of his plans.
...
It's a mess, all a mess!!!
Sitting atop the mountain, Chen Qiu couldn't help but sigh in frustration; the plan he had so confidently constructed was half wrong, but the results turned out well.
It was as if he had written down the wrong process for a test but ended up getting all the answers right.
