Chapter 331: Chapter 152: As a Fish, One Should Like to Eat Cats! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_4

This time—

Chen Qiu once again tentatively grasped the Spiritual Treasure under the pillar of light and returned to his small world, yet still no one made a move. Could it be that it was all over?

After all, he was a Golden Core cultivator from the Xuantian Continent; it was impossible they couldn’t even withstand one of his Thunder Summoning Techniques, right?

What followed next,

was as if every cultivator had hidden away, with no spells in sight save for the sky-full of Thunder Summoning Techniques. Whenever a beam of light shone, tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons would explode around it, and soon after, a Spiritual Treasure would be snatched away by some mysterious person.

…

Meanwhile, atop the walls of Great Yuan City,

many cultivators stood with complex expressions, watching this unfold. Whenever “the long night approaches,” many desperate souls would venture beyond the city to battle for fortune, but even more people preferred to watch from the safety of the city walls.

Of course,

with heaven and earth shrouded in darkness and their Divine Sense unable to penetrate, they couldn’t see anything.

However, they just liked standing in this safe place, feeling the crisis coming from the darkness, a sense of satisfaction when they heard screams in the dark, imagining which of today’s venturing cultivators had perished, while secretly feeling relieved that they hadn’t gone themselves.

But… this time, it seemed different from the past.

During previous “long nights,” although spells clashed everywhere, none resembled tonight, with tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons carrying a terrifying pressure, roaming clearly visible through the dark.

Whenever a column of light descended, tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons would follow, and then the light would vanish.

And those Thunder Dragons…

Many cultivators’ mouths twitched involuntarily; they could tell it was the Thunder Summoning Technique, but it felt just… a bit more powerful than the usual technique. The might of it was such that even with their Protective Spirit Qi active, they couldn’t withstand it.

Let alone those below who couldn’t use Protective Spirit Qi; by now, they were probably one with the soil. There wouldn’t even be bodies to collect by morning; the wild grass outside the city might grow even more lush next year.

…

“Lucky I didn’t go…”

On the city wall, a bald man looked toward the inky darkness, full of countless Thunder Dragons carrying a horrifying pressure. He was a third-layer Golden Core Cultivator, and as a Loose Cultivator, his life was not particularly prosperous, needing Spirit Stones for many things.

On a normal day, he would set up a stall in Yuan City to see if he could swindle a few easy targets.

Today he almost cheated someone out of eight Mid-grade Spirit Stones, but due to his hesitation, the stones slipped away, leaving him filled with regret. He had planned to venture outside the city tonight to take a chance and see if he could snatch some opportunity.

But just as he was about to leave, the Little Wild Cat his sister had picked up yesterday clung desperately to his pant leg, refusing to let him go out.

This wild cat was usually very well-behaved.

This omen left him feeling uneasy, so he decided against going and fortunately so, for tonight’s “long night” brought a killing god. He had never seen a Magic Practitioner who could unleash tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons at once; had he gone, he would be lying buried there now.

The bald man gratefully looked at the Little Wild Cat in his sister’s arms, “You’re getting an extra fish tonight!”

“Meow~”

July Cat shifted in the arms of the female cultivator, finding a comfortable spot before lazily meowing, feeling somewhat helpless inside.

Who the hell was doing it to save you!

If it hadn’t been for his sister insisting on following him, who would care about him? It would have been fine if just his sister went, but she had to bring the cat along, which was simply courting death!

If they wanted to die, she certainly did not!

Others might not know of Chen Qiu’s strength, but she was well aware. Tonight, of all nights, sending any more Golden Cores was a death sentence. Even if a Nascent Soul ventured out, the odds of surviving were slim. With their modest cultivation levels, they would just be delivering themselves to Chen Qiu.

…

When the twelfth pillar of light dissipated, no more appeared.

Only after six hours, as dawn broke,

with the sun halfway up the sky,

and as the city gates opened, a flood of cultivators stepped out, casting complicated glances toward the eleven massive pits outside the gate, impeccably clean, without a single body in sight.

The flesh and the soil had long since merged into one.

…

At this moment, within the small world, Chen Qiu was counting his gains, sitting alone on the back mountain peak of Chao Tian Sect, smiling with satisfaction.

The greatest gain, of course, was the green pill in his hand.

This was also the treasure that appeared during the twelfth light column.

“Divinity Transformation Body”!

It was also the most valuable item among them. With this Divinity Transformation Body, he could at least ensure he’d have a Fifth-Grade Nascent Soul, not to mention some other miscellaneous items.

They were mostly Spiritual Treasures and Spirit Grass.

He glanced at the items he couldn’t use himself, planning to hand them all over to Fat Long to be placed in the sect’s Treasure Vault, allowing Chao Tian Sect disciples to exchange them for Contribution Value.

Only one Spiritual Treasure was of interest.

–

Treasure Name: Contending with Heaven.

Acquisition Source: Bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.

Usage Effect:

1: Contend with Heaven in a game, if it ends in a draw or victory by one piece, obtain one random Spiritual Treasure. The more pieces you win by, the higher the Grade of the Spiritual Treasure. Only one chance is given.

–

It was a chessboard.

It was the Spiritual Treasure from the second light column; he had no use for it at the moment. His chess skills were only decent; winning a piece over Heaven was not something he believed his chess skills could achieve.

He’d see if he could find a Chess Saint with better chess skills in the future to play the game for him.

After all, there was only one opportunity, and it couldn’t be wasted.

…

Next, Chen Qiu arrived at the Chao Tian Sect square by the Mountain Gate, distributed Nascent Soul techniques from First Grade to Tenth Grade collected by Fat Long, and placed a Nascent Soul body on the table, looking calmly at his disciples who faced him with eager expressions.

“Naturally breaking through, one can form a First Grade Nascent Soul,” he said.

“Using a Nascent Soul body as material for Nascent Soul formation, one can form a Second Grade Nascent Soul.”

“Since you have followed me and joined Chao Tian Sect.”

“Naturally, I also hope that your potential is higher. This Nascent Soul body here can help you form a Second Grade Nascent Soul. The one among you with the shortest lifespan, step forward, and I will help you form a Second Grade Nascent Soul first.”

The members of Chao Tian Sect looked at each other, then an elderly man stood up shakily, speaking in a low and respectful voice, “Sect Master, I have only one month left to live; I have the shortest lifespan.”

“Hmm.”

Chen Qiu nodded slightly, “To break through to Nascent Soul, you need a hundred and eight Mid-grade Spirit Stones to lay out a Spirit Gathering Array, do you have them?”

“I do.”

The elder nodded, his voice trembling with too much excitement, “I brought out everything from home, it’s enough, enough!”

“…”

Chen Qiu was silent for a long moment before tossing over the Nascent Soul pill in his hand, “Calm your mind for three days, then start your breakthrough.”

This Nascent Soul body was a First Grade Nascent Soul, which he had no use for.

These people had all signed Life Plates with the Chao Tian Sect. The strengthening of these people’s power was also his own power increase; it was necessary to have a Nascent Soul to have some confidence in moving through this world.
