Chapter 265: "Just Take the Chance to Chop Some People." _4
The more children are born, the more will be striving at their toil.
...
Inside the Heavenly Palace.
Sitting on the Xuantian Throne, Chen Qiu gazed at the panel hovering above his Dantian, emitting a unique light. After dismissing Fat Long, he attentively examined the panel enveloped in mists.
He was eager to see what three Supreme Entries would combine into.
An Emperor Level entry?
He had already thought of a name for it.
Soon—
After his Divine Sense probed it, a panel wrapped in clouds quickly materialized before him.
-
"Encountering the unknown, undergoing transformation..."
"The required power of heaven and earth cannot be supplemented by the Second Grade Continent, urgently calling upon the power of heaven and earth from the Third Grade Continent..."
-
"Hmm?"
Chen Qiu looked at the mist-enshrouded panel before him, feeling a bit perplexed. What did "encountering the unknown, undergoing transformation" mean?
He couldn't believe that no one had ever conducted this experiment before.
After all, it only required nine ordinary entry choices from the "three choices" feature.
If one continuously breaks through nine Great Realms without selecting an entry, wouldn't these nine chances be accumulated?
Well, okay.
That condition is somewhat harsh.
But there must be others who possess the "Step by Step" entry; if you have that entry, it should be quite easy to save up nine ordinary entries, right? He didn't believe no experiment had been conducted; surely someone had done it, but why was it still unknown?
Moreover, the required power of heaven and earth that even the Second Grade Continent couldn't supplement?
Then come the "First Grade Heavenly Tribulation,": Heavenly Slaying Thunder Tribulation; it can descend on the Second Grade Continent. Could the combination be impossible to supplement, or did the "First Grade Heavenly Tribulation," Heavenly Slaying Thunder Tribulation, deplete the power of heaven and earth of the Vast Continent?
That's not impossible.
The resources between heaven and earth are not infinite; often, the rewards the Heavenly Dao gives him are not fully delivered because the store runs out, giving a somewhat cheeky and brazen charm, a sense like "Damn it, I'm out of stock, do whatever you want."
And still calling upon the power of heaven and earth from the Third Grade Continent, this rhetoric subtly gives one the feeling of a computer.
Methodical.
...
And in a place unknown to Chen Qiu.
At this moment, in the Qi Tian Continent, the Bai Family Patriarch sat in his residence, frowning as he looked at the Jade Scroll in his hand, which detailed most of Chen Qiu's deeds.
The Bai Family, one of the top powers in the Qi Tian Continent.
In recent years, they had depleted a lot of their foundation trying to cure his daughter.
Although there were many things he couldn't discuss with his daughter or communicate with outsiders, his daughter's mother died early, and his daughter had never experienced the subtle feelings of romance between men and women.
He was thinking.
Since his daughter had contracted "Immortal Cancer" and was bound to die, with not many years left to live, under these circumstances, whether he should betroth her to a husband.
This Chen Qiu, upon inspection, seemed very impressive.
Whether in looks or deeds, everything was commendable; the only drawback might be his personality. It seemed from his deeds that he wasn't the type of man to develop a deep affection for his daughter, more like the type who would give a few strong slaps and bury her alive if she disobeyed.
But...
When he thought about those men from other powers who came to propose, he started feeling that Chen Qiu was quite good again; no matter what, he was still a normal person, not like that kid from the "Qi Family," covered in bulls all over, damn it, who in the Qi Tian Continent is normal!?
This is a contaminated continent.
If you want to become stronger, you must choose these entries that cause mutations in the body.
If you don't choose, you'll sever your Cultivation Path, and if you dare to cultivate forcibly without an entry, you're essentially the weakest among your peers, the kind who can be challenged by anyone of a higher level.
There's absolutely no solution.
And it was at this moment—
"Boom..."
Suddenly, a rumbling sound transmitted from between heaven and earth, and he distinctly felt that something indefinable was happening to the celestial powers of the entire Qi Tian Continent, rapidly depleting... or rather, transferring!
The celestial powers of the entire Qi Tian Continent were swiftly transferring towards the Xuantian Continent.
"This..."
The Bai Family Patriarch, subconsciously stood up to peer into the horizon, a flicker of shock and bewilderment crossing his eyes, as celestial power is a vital component of a continent.
Mainly used for issuing Heavenly Dao Decrees, sending down Heavenly Tribulations, bestowing rewards, initiating version iterations and so on, in short, when a continent's celestial power is exhausted and not replenished, that continent often becomes a forsaken one.
Gradually, entries such as these will no longer appear, turning it into an "Exile Continent".
From this perspective, the celestial power is the blood of this continent, indispensable.
However—
Generally speaking, a continent's own celestial power is absolutely sufficient, after all, this resource is renewable; it recovers slowly by itself. But this time, something unknown happened on the Vast Continent, and it suddenly needed to borrow celestial power from its superior continent.
This is the rule of Heavenly Dao.
When a lower-grade continent's celestial power is insufficient, it borrows small amounts from continents of the same grade, and large amounts from its superior continents; this process is normal and well understood by him.
What he didn't understand was... under what circumstances would the Vast Continent need so much celestial power that it even had to borrow from the Qi Tian Continent?
Just as he was about to inquire with his daughter, the Guardian who stayed on the Vast Continent,
She had already sent a message in advance.
'Family Head, the entire celestial power of the Vast Continent is converging towards Xuantian State.'
A simple sentence.
But the Bai Family Patriarch quickly understood, Xuantian State...only one person in Xuantian State of the Vast Continent could be causing such a huge commotion.
"..."
His expression complex, he looked at the Jade Scroll in his hand.
Chen Qiu.
A Supreme Heavenly Pride who climbed all the way up from a First Grade Continent, always able to create a sensation from time to time, each time bringing him great surprises; however, it's a pity... what a pity indeed...
It's unfortunate that the superior continent of the Vast Continent just happens to be the Qi Tian Continent, this contaminated one.
This means that,
after Chen Qiu arrives at the Qi Tian Continent and breaks through his Cultivation Realm, the randomly obtained entry will also be one of these that causes bodily mutations, at which point he'll definitely have to choose between a decrease in combat power and bodily mutations.
A once perfect Supreme Heavenly Pride will inevitably become tainted upon arriving in the Qi Tian Continent.
Unless...
Unless Chen Qiu could transfer to another Third Grade Continent, but going to a superior continent is by the rules permitted by Heavenly Dao; going to other continents of the same grade that are not in one's own sequence is considered smuggling.
The consequences of being discovered smuggling are hardly pleasant.
Generally, if one isn't truly at a dead end, no one would choose to smuggle.
He then took a deep breath and quickly replied to his daughter's Guardian.
'Cultivate deeper relationships, fear not the generosity, increase the stakes, send more.'
'The Bai Family can afford to squander a large amount of Spirit Stones on so many fools and idiots; they wouldn't be stingy to spend Spirit Stones to cultivate relations with such a heavenly prodigy.'
