I Cultivate Immortality by Adding Entries in Turbulent Times

Chen Qiu transmigrates into a xianxia world, and in this xianxia world—

there are edicts from Heaven, panel-style rankings of heaven’s chosen, and countless kinds of traits.

...

Every cultivator gains one trait each time they break through a major realm.

Different trait combinations determine that cultivator’s upper limit and path of development.

Some cultivators rely on the trait combination "Strength of Nine Oxen" + "Unerring Accuracy" + "Ignore Barriers"

to marry into the dragon race and become the greatest beast tamer in history.

Some cultivators rely on the trait combination "Utter Nonsense" + "Deceive Those Below and Conceal from Those Above" + "Fate of Death by Remonstration"

to become the greatest state preceptor in history.

The first trait Chen Qiu obtains is "Rising Higher Step by Step": every time he breaks through a minor realm, he can choose one of three random traits.

And from that moment on...

all kinds of trait fusion techniques begin appearing in the world.

...

When everyone in the world has a cheat ability, the only thing left is to see whose life is tougher.
