Chapter 1779: The Best Choice

“These Heavenly Path’s Rewards are phenomenal! Any of these could bring great benefit!” Chen Xiaobei thought to himself. “But my options are limited, so I’ll just have to use the elimination method to decide!
“Alright, the first one: to reduce the force of catastrophic events. To ascend to the Heavenly Realm, I will need to reach the peak of Earth-God strength before catastrophic events can be drawn to me! I’m still a world away from that. Choosing this reward now would be completely useless for me!
“Next, increase lifespan! Not this one! I have 100 years now. A 10% increase is only ten years. That’s rubbish! Okay, offensive power and defensive power is off the list too! These two rewards seem attractive but it won’t increase my combat power and health! My cultivation will remain the same! They’re almost similar to the Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training Manual. These are not what I need right now! Let’s see… Luck and Charm. Nope. These two rewards have very little value! They could change situations unexpectedly, but it usually just takes preparation and planning to settle those situations. It only requires a little bit of effort on my part. There’s no need to waste my reward on this! The last two options are probably the best!”
Chen Xiaobei smiled. “Brother Yanwang told me that people with high cultivation will choose increasing their merit points gain! For example, the basic reward for killing a first-generation villain is 10,000 merit points. With this Heavenly Path’s Reward, that reward would be boosted to 11,000 merit points. That’s a 10% extra! But I’m clearly not someone with high cultivation! In fact, what I need most right now is to increase my cultivation!”
Chen Xiaobei sat upright. “I choose to increase my cultivation speed. I’ll chgoose this reward out of my ten selections!”
Ding!
[The Heavenly Path’s Reward has been selected!]
Ding!
[Congratulations! You receive Heavenly Path’s Cultivation’s buff! Cultivation speed increased by 100%!]
“Awesome! 100% increase!” Chen Xiaobei lit up. “Normally, my health and my combat power would only increase by 100 for every one hour of cultivation! Now that the rate of increase is multiplied by 100% and cultivating with the same amount of Demonic Beast essence in the same amount of time, my health and my combat power could increase by 200! And that’s only on the small scale! If I had used the one-million year Ambergris before this, my combat power would have increased by 100,000. Now, it’ll increase by 200,000! So this was why Sifu asked me to wait until I’ve redeemed the Heavenly Path’s reward before using the Ambergris!
“On top of that, if I use Xiao’er’s special ability to eat an item, the increase in my health will also double! That way, I can use the same resources and time but double the increase in my cultivation! This really is half the work, twice the effect! Man, this is an ace! Not only will I have enough time to break through to God-Ascension cultivation, I might also be able to go even further in the remaining 45 days before my deadline with Lady Nuwo! Heavenly Path’s rewards are insanely brilliant! It’s invincible!”
The more Chen Xiaobei thought about it, the more excited he became!
It was not that the other Heavenly Path’s Rewards were not good, but they were more suitable for people with an already elevated foundation.
The reward that Chen Xiaobei chose was more appropriate for people who were in urgent need of growth.
Chen Xiaobei was clearly in the process of growing and was desperate to make progress.
Putting 100% worth of effort and receive double the result was the best option for his case!
“My combat power is now 284,000. I can’t use the one million year Ambergris. If my combat power exceeds the upper limit of the peak phase of Ethereal Force, the exceeded portion would be wasted. Of course, I can use the 100,000 year-old Ambergris and have a taste of my new Heavenly Path’s Reward!”
Chen Xiaobei quickly took out the Ambergris he got from Neptune.
According to the mermaid Princess Ao Chun’er, the 100,000 year-old Ambergris will increase his combat power by 10,000.
Crack!
Chen Xiaobei used the Ethereal Force at the tip of his finger to poke a small hole in the shell of the Ambergris.
Lifting the Ambergris with both hands, Chen Xiaobei gulped down the Spirit Fluid inside like it was coconut.
The medicine took effect immediately, beginning to make changes to Chen Xiaobei’s Dantian.
It was rushing like a river, pushing his Dantian’s capacity while thickening and deepening his Ethereal Force,
Ding!
[Cultivation: Middle phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 100 years; Health: 304,000; Combat power: 304,000]
“Awesome! My Heavenly Path’s reward! That’s a 20,000 combat power increase! It really doubled!” Chen Xiaobei punched the air. “Soon enough, I’ll be breaking through to God-Ascension cultivation! Then I’ll use the one million year Ambergris and gain 200,000 combat power! Sweet!”
Chen Xiaobei’s business in Royal Dome had officially come to an end, and it was a fruitful and worthwhile endeavor. Words could not describe how Chen Xiaobei felt.
But of course, the celebration was short-lived. For the next part of his mission, he had to move on to Tenshou Starfield, which also happened to be Saint Duke’s biggest enemy.
To ensurelong-lasting peace for Saint Duke, including warranting the long-term stability of the Nine Zones, Chen Xiaobei had to put an end to Tenshou Starfield.
…
Before he left, he asked if he could borrow a Royal Dome Imperial interstellar spacecraft from Eighth Wangye.
Since Royal Dome and Tenshou were still partners for the moment, this spacecraft would give Chen Xiaobei much needed cover, allowing him to move about in Tenshou without raising suspicions.
There was no need for him to fly to Tenshou, of course.
As allies, a portal connecting both capital cities was set up for easy access.
Upon Chen Xiaobei’s arrival in Tenshou Starfield, his loyal hound Wugui Kojiro, having received a call from his master, picked him up at the portal.
“Tortoise!” Chen Xiaobei called out.
“Who… Are you? How dare you mock me!” Wugui Kojiro raised his fist in anger.
Chen Xiaobei lowered his voice, “It’s me. I’m wearing a mask. From now on, I am your new best friend.”
“You are… Master!” Wugui Kojiro exclaimed in surprise when he recognized Chen Xiaobei’s voice.
