New Entry

[Name]: Li Yang

[Place of Birth]: Primordial Wilderness

[Dao Inheritance]: Immortal Crossing Sect

[Cultivation]: Origin Immortal Stage Peak

[Realm]: Heavenly Immortal Realm Peak

[Entry 1]: Work-Life Balance (The longer the rest time, the better the cultivation effect. Current rest time: 4 ke)

[Entry 2]: Late Bloomer (The older the age, the higher the comprehension, the better the cultivation effect. Current age: 18)

[Entry 3]: To Be Unlocked (Unlocks at Golden Immortal Stage)

"???"

After reading the panel, Li Yang was full of question marks.

The panel had gained a [Realm], which meant that from now on, realm was realm, and cultivation was cultivation.

This point was actually not bad; it was the same in the Primordial Wilderness. However, most people there had cultivation higher than their realm, which was why things like severe injuries causing cultivation to drop, or having one's cultivation shaved off by someone else, happened.

Even the so-called "knocking down a realm" wasn't really knocking down the realm, but rather knocking down the cultivation.

Li Yang rubbed his chin thoughtfully. This thing didn't have much impact on him right now, so he shifted his attention to the newly added entry.

[Late Bloomer: The older the age, the higher the comprehension, the better the cultivation effect. Current age: 18.]

This thing, without a doubt, meant the older you got, the more you benefited.

The insane part about it was just one thing: comprehension could keep increasing.

Even if it only increased a tiny bit each year, after billions of years, comprehension would grow to a terrifying level.

But the most insane part wasn't just that. Remember, Li Yang also had another entry: [Work-Life Balance].

When the two were combined, the level of terror would climb another notch.

And it might not even be simple addition; it could be multiplication.

Li Yang looked at the rest time listed after the [Work-Life Balance] entry, thought for a moment, then shook his head.

The time was too short. He needed to accumulate some time to test whether the two entries were additive or multiplicative.

When he saw that Entry 3 required the Golden Immortal Stage to unlock, his brows furrowed deeply.

'It's not what I initially thought. True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal don't have entries at all.

That means I've directly missed out on two entries.

There are already so few realms in the Immortal realm. After Golden Immortal comes Great Luo, and after Great Luo comes Primordial Chaos Limitless.

Who knows what the requirement for the next unlockable entry after Golden Immortal will be?

What if it's Primordial Chaos Limitless? Wouldn't that be a disaster?

If that's the case, it means the Golden Immortal Stage is my last entry!!!'

Li Yang's brows were tightly knit. The joy he'd felt from breaking through and gaining a new entry was long gone.

But soon, he expelled that bit of frustration from his mind.

'Forget it. Fewer entries is fine, as long as they're strong enough. If I gain them, it's my fortune; if I lose them, it's my fate. I can't expect every advantage to fall into my lap.'

These two entries were already insane enough. What more could he be dissatisfied with?

Still, there was a tiny bit of disappointment in his heart. This entry panel had given him a huge hope, but unfortunately, it wasn't one entry per stage, or even one entry per realm.

'Wait. Maybe I've found the crux of the problem.'

Li Yang suddenly recalled that his first entry was obtained after successfully refining Qi, the second was at the Origin Immortal Stage, and the third wouldn't unlock until Golden Immortal.

'So, what's the connection between them?'

Li Yang thought it over, and a flash of insight struck him.

'Maybe it's a transformation of life level!

If my guess is right, then Golden Immortals, Origin Immortals, True Immortals, and Heavenly Immortals aren't even the same species.'

Li Yang made a bold hypothesis in his mind, and ideas and concepts about how to create Golden Immortal Stage 'Golden Pill' clones began to take shape.

It was only a starting point, but it was already much better than before, when he'd only comprehended up to the Heavenly Immortal Stage.

Yes, during those two months of rapid realm ascension, his 'Golden Pill' Cloning Technique had naturally been comprehended and elevated to the Heavenly Immortal Stage.

Theoretically, as long as he had enough time or enough materials, he could mass-produce Heavenly Immortal Stage 'Golden Pill' clones.

This was no small matter. So many clones would provide an unimaginably huge boost to the Shelter Grotto-Heaven.

Yes, by the same logic, the shelter space he'd opened using the simplified 'Gourd Heaven' technique, as his realm rose and his Dao comprehension deepened, was now only one step away from a basic grotto-heaven.

Because the current 'Gourd Heaven' technique was no longer just a divine ability that could only open up space; it was a method capable of opening up a grotto-heaven.

'If a Heavenly Immortal Realm clone infused with a Star Stone hangs high above the shelter, and can itself form a basic grotto-heaven, then my shelter...'

Li Yang's mind churned. Countless ideas and inspirations kept bursting forth ever since he became an immortal.

This was something that hadn't existed before, because his cultivation and realm had limited his productivity.

But now, that productivity had been unleashed.

'Then, it's time to refine the Star Stone Golden Core Clone.'

A Golden Core Clone at the Origin Immortal stage, capable of converting void power, only required fusing a small piece of Star Stone into it.

As for the Star Stones he had excavated in the Northern Juru Continent, though there were only two small veins, they were enough to refine thirty thousand clones.

'But I can't wait for them to slowly transform; I should directly push them to Origin Immortal in one step.'

With this thought, Li Yang looked toward the Alchemy Furnace inside the Sanctuary space and the many 'Golden Core' Clones at the Return to Dao stage.

'Perfect. The earlier deductions have already conceived a new upgrade method. This time, by fusing the Star Stones, these Return to Dao clones will directly step into the Origin Immortal stage.

'And this Alchemy Furnace, nourished by tens of thousands of Immortal Pills, can be directly upgraded to a Top-grade Magic Treasure, and might even attempt to transform into a Postcelestial Low-grade Numinous Treasure.'

Li Yang was tallying his plans, but before he could leave the tribulation site, someone rushed over excitedly.

After all, the commotion from his tribulation was no small matter; Qi Practitioners and immortals from thousands of li around had been drawn by the thunder tribulation.

Those who came to the Northern Juru Continent to make a living were rarely good-natured.

And those bold enough to come here were even less likely to be so.

"No grand formation, but there was celestial music just now—this means he succeeded in crossing the tribulation."

"The Thirty-Two Calamities, Eight Extremes, Eight Desolates Summoning Immortal Tribulation—this is the fourth-ranked Immortal Ascension Tribulation in the Primordial Wilderness. That means this person must be extremely powerful..."

He didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was clear: this was someone they shouldn't provoke.

Yet there were always those unwilling to let go: "Though he's powerful, he's still just a newly ascended Origin Immortal. He won't have many immortal techniques. He might even be severely injured, or perhaps he has a numinous treasure. If we could get our hands on it..."

At these words, greed stirred in the hearts of some.

After all, choosing to cross the tribulation in such a desolate place spoke volumes.

This was a rogue immortal with no backing, no roots, but certainly with great fortune—perhaps even Immortal Pills and numinous treasures.

Take him down, and whether it was his Immortal Pills, his treasures, his cultivation method, his immortal body, or even his Divine Soul and immortal infant—all would be valuable.

"There's no trace of a formation at the tribulation site, meaning he's not skilled in formations. Set up a trapping formation, seal off a hundred li radius, find him, and the fortune is ours."

A group of immortals and Qi Practitioners had greedy glints in their eyes. They coveted Li Yang's fortune, but they also coveted the not-so-familiar companions beside them.

If... just if, hypothetically speaking...
