Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

Within the consciousness sea.

The lotus flower blooms, radiant and brilliant.

As the light surges up, past memories emerge. From the 1,882 years in the Central Continent World, all events and experiences come rushing to mind—

...

Entering the mundane world, the standard beginning. Living in a dog kennel, the return of the War God. Traveling over mountains and rivers, arriving at the Nine Refinement Immortal Mansion. Ten years of refining demons, officially stepping onto the path of cultivation.

...

Training in the outer seas, talent first unveiled, sent by Master Baiyun to the Heaven Mending Sect, becoming a True Inheritor of the sect.

...

Holding the top rank on the 'Immortal Leaderboard' for nearly a century, slaying demons, crossing realms, and killing second-order demons, earning the nickname 'Jade-faced Judge' and first gaining fame in the Central Continent.

...

Reaching the Second-order True Person realm at the age of 200, guarding Nine Yang Island for thirty years, perfecting the 'Taiyang Flame Banner.' Later, upon the appearance of the Earth Cave, entering the No.5 Cave, enduring 150 years, slaying countless Evil Gods, earning the title 'Sword Prison Master' to elevate his reputation again.

...

On his deathbed, True Person Jiulong recommended Chen Jichuan to be transferred to the No.2 Cave, where he cultivated and trained for 220 years, finally establishing his name across the Seven Sects, overshadowing other True People, and being honored as 'True Person Jade Face.'

...

Returning to the Central Continent, defeating Zhangg Wuya and showcasing his true power, becoming the Hall Master of the Dharma Transmission Hall. Later, taking the mantle of Heaven Mending Sect's commander and leading the war in No.5 Cave to a resounding victory.

...

In No.6 Cave for 1,200 years, slaughtering countless Evil Gods, undergoing transformative growth, ascending to the Tenth Realm of Enlightenment, and overseeing Heaven Mending Sect's unification of the Central Continent. Together, they seized supremacy. From that point onward, he was unmatched and peerless, as lonely as snow.

...

"A lifetime."

"It has ended again."

Scene after scene from the past, nearly 2,000 years fleeting by, as if living through another life. Chen Jichuan came back to himself and could not help but let out a long sigh.

Choosing to end his life through intentional self-dissolution, passing briefly through the void of darkness, when light returned he found himself in this consciousness sea.

In front of him.

A lotus flower.

...

"Lotus flower."

Chen Jichuan calmed his heart, cleared his mind, and gazed at the consciousness sea.

The lotus flower sparkled, and suddenly a lotus pod formed, exuding a fragrant scent of lotus seeds.

Strands of information intertwined.

"Dao Fruit."

"Lotus seeds."

Through 1,882 years of time and 947 years of cultivation, Chen Jichuan bore anew the marks of age and refinement deepened from years.

Slaying demons and battling Evil Gods in the Central Continent World.

Commanding an army of tens of thousands of cultivators in the No.5 Cave and leading them into battle.

Fighting, cultivating, and learning in the No.6 Cave, reading countless tomes in the Heaven Mending Sect's Scripture Pavilion, personally mentoring 1,200 disciples of various talents.

Experience and knowledge deepened further.

His Daoist skills and realm also grew increasingly advanced.

Years of accumulation honed his demeanor.

His mental fortitude was long tempered.

With a shift of thought, Chen Jichuan connected to the fifth 'Dao Fruit' in the consciousness sea—

...

Looking at the final 'Immortal Record' panel left from the Central Continent World, Chen Jichuan truly felt the profound weight of the years.

"1,900 years old."

"I traversed 1,882 years in the Central Continent World."

"The combined time of the previous five worlds barely broke past 2,150 years."

"Such an endless span."

Chen Jichuan looked back, deeply feeling the enormity of time.

The earlier five worlds, when combined into 2,150 years, felt lengthy, but when broken into five or six segments, the individual periods didn't carry much impact.

But this life.

Spanning nearly 2,000 years, with 947 years of cultivation in earnest.

"How unimaginable!"

Chen Jichuan slowly exhaled, easing some of the heaviness in his heart.

The weight of time was substantial.

But the harvest he reaped could be deemed immeasurable—

"Immortal Dao, Tenth Realm of Enlightenment."

"Life Dao, Soul Refining Sixth Realm."

"Xing Dao, Soul Condensation Sixth Realm."

Immortal Dao had already peaked at Second-order, and one more step forward would reach Third-order. But this step kept Chen Jichuan stuck for nearly 200 years, unable to break through.

By comparison.

The Life Dao and Xing Dao seemed weaker, neither even reaching the Seventh Realm, both firmly lodged in the Sixth Realm.

"Cultivating three paths simultaneously is far too arduous."

"Relying on the accumulation from my past five lives and the Immortal Dao's progress to drive the others forward, plus more than 200 years of intensive cultivation in this world, I barely managed to reach the Sixth Realm."

"Claiming three-path cultivation, in reality the energy spent on the other two paths was limited, focusing mainly on Immortal Dao."

The Immortal Dao is vast.

Just this single path had consumed most of Chen Jichuan's efforts, leaving little energy for delving into Life Dao or Xing Dao.

It was only in the latter 200 years of stagnation within the Immortal Dao that Chen Jichuan had some spare time to focus on the paths of life and mind.

Had those 200 years not existed.

The other two paths might still linger in the Third or Fourth Realm.

"With my abilities, pursuing all three paths equally is simply beyond my reach."

"The Life and Xing paths seem a bit redundant."

The time and effort Chen Jichuan invested in those other two paths yielded limited returns.

He had always been pondering the dilemma of his future cultivation strategies.

Experiments were already underway—

During his time in the Central Continent World, especially in the last few hundred years, he sought from the Heaven Mending Sect methods for the cultivation of body and soul, within the framework of Immortal Dao.

These methods were still Qi Refinement Techniques, but while "Sword Map" was focused on the cultivation of mana, body refining techniques emphasized physical strength, and soul refining techniques centered on the spirit.

Ultimately, they were approaches within Immortal Dao, differing only in their focus.

He acquired many of these methods.

Most were at the refined level, with a rare few reaching the side door level.

Chen Jichuan selected body refining and soul refining methods and blended them with corresponding refined or side door versions of "Sword Map".

He experimented with variations and combinations.

He also used disciples in No.6 Cave to test these ideas.

This could be considered 'human experimentation.'

But it was also an application of knowledge.

The experiments need no further explanation.

By having his disciples train using the various amalgamated techniques, Chen Jichuan observed patterns and refined the selection, aiming to eventually derive a comprehensive Immortal Dao Technique without weaknesses in 'vitality,' 'qi,' or 'spirit.'

As for applying the knowledge—

Chen Jichuan's extensive studies granted him mastery over countless techniques. While he could only practice a select few, guiding these disciples allowed him to deepen his understanding.

By mentoring disciples of differing talents, cultivation levels, temperaments, and personalities, Chen Jichuan systematically organized and enriched his own cultivation knowledge.

Moreover, in the future, when assisting Chen Shaohu—

From the innate realm to Qi Refinement, and from Qi Refinement to Second-order True Person—he had countless examples to follow, and an immensely comprehensive range of experience to draw upon.

In the current scenario.

Even if Chen Shaohu were utterly talentless, Chen Jichuan could guide him onto the correct path.

Let alone—

"My brother is certainly not talentless."

Chen Jichuan instantly laughed.

...

The Central Continent World had lasted far too long, but Chen Jichuan's gains were equally immense.

Achievements in cultivation were only a part of it.

The enhancements in alchemy and artifact refining were also highlighted aspects.

"Third-order alchemy."

"Third-order artifact refining."

"I possessed all the resources of Heaven Mending Sect, which in turn controlled the resources of the entire Central Continent. In alchemy and artifact refining, there was no shortage of materials to use freely."

"With debates and discussions with alchemy grandmasters and refining masters in Heaven Mending Sect, both skills surpassed the threshold of Third-order."

Chen Jichuan placed great importance on these two crafts.

For one reason:

Chen Shaohu was passionate about alchemy, and Chen Jichuan's higher proficiency in it would make teaching him more effective.

"On the other hand."

"In reality, both cultivation and opening Dao Fruit Worlds require vast amounts of Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals. These two crafts are my means of making money."

"Besides, in the real world, I don't need to take risks by venturing everywhere. With alchemy and artifact refining expertise, these crafts are highly sought after anywhere. Seeking sect protection would also be straightforward."

In the real world, recklessness wasn't an option.

Everything had to be done securely.

And if security was the goal, what profession was more coveted than alchemists and artifact refiners?

"Third-order alchemy and artifact refining."

"In the Panlong Mountain region, these skills are good for quite a long span of time—their benefits will last."

Chen Jichuan's face broke into a smile.

His gaze moved from the 'Cultivation' section to the 'Skills' section.

Finally, his eyes landed on the 'Magics' section.

"Twenty-two super-level techniques."

"Excluding 'Mystical Gate Skill' and 'Pill Dragon Map,' all have reached the Fourth Realm."

In the field of techniques, Chen Jichuan invested significant effort.

An ordinary Second-order True Person, over their lifetime, might manage to cultivate one super-level technique to the Third Realm.

Such as Luo Pu.

Such as Murong Jue.

Both stopped progressing at Sixth Layer Heaven but could manage to advance a single super-level technique to the Third Realm if focused.

Whereas rare geniuses among Second-order True People:

Such as Sun Jiuzhang.

Such as Guu Feng.

Such as Ling Fang.

They might progress to Tenth Layer Heaven; their talents are unquestionable. If their energies were dispersed across two or three super-level techniques, they might cultivate all to the Third Realm.

If they concentrated on just one, they could progress further within the limits of the Third Realm.

Take Zhangg Wuya for example.

His focused study of 'Five Directions Five Elements Great Yan True Light' almost brought him to the Fourth Realm, demonstrating extraordinary power.

However, in the later years of the Central Continent World, due to the emergence of Evil Gods and their divinity, short-term boosts in comprehension were possible. Consequently, Central Continent cultivators collectively exhibited higher-than-average proficiency in techniques.

Even so, over 1,000 years in the Central Continent World, only two or three cultivators managed to bring a single super-level technique to the Fourth Realm.

Yet Chen Jichuan—

"Twenty techniques, all at the Fourth Realm!"

Of his twenty super-level techniques.

Some had just crossed the threshold into the Fourth Realm, while others had developed further refinement within that level.

Though this achievement owes much to 'Enlightenment,' opportunity and skill are often intertwined; regardless, these Fourth Realm techniques were solidly mastered by Chen Jichuan.
