Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

Chapter 288: 200 Years: The King Returns! [Vote for Monthly Ticket!]



The time entered the year 971 of the Wuhe Calendar.

It was the second year since Chen Jichuan advanced to the True Person stage.

On the second day of February.

Ye Cunxin, the Dharma Protecting True Person of the Galaxy Sword Sect's Demon Slaying Hall, returned to Sword City.

After three consecutive years of fighting outside, Ye Cunxin felt truly exhausted. She returned home, rallied her spirits, and ordered someone to bring her the income of the past three years.

Ye Cunxin had no property under her name.

But in her early days as a newly advanced True Person, she served successively as City Lord of Guard City three times over a span of three hundred years. During that period, she supported three chambers of commerce, and over the years, leveraging her influence, the chambers earned considerable profits, offering a significant amount of spirit crystals and treasures every year.

Sitting at home and having a large fortune rolling in was truly delightful.

It also alleviated much of Ye Cunxin's weariness.

But when she flipped to the Yuanchen Chamber of Commerce in Golden Corner City, her brows instantly furrowed, and she asked the steward beside her, "Didn't the Yuanchen Chamber send anyone this year?"

"I was about to report this matter."

"The Yuanchen Chamber didn't come by the end of the year. I sent someone to investigate and found out that in the middle of last year, the Yuanchen Chamber was seized and exterminated by the City Lord of Golden Corner City, Ma Yizhen. Not only were the chamber's assets confiscated, but all major figures and twelve leaders were not spared."

The steward presented the intelligence he gathered from Golden Corner City.

"Ma Yizhen?"

Ye Cunxin's brows slightly furrowed, anger rising.

This Ma Yizhen, who only advanced to True Person at over two hundred seventy years of age, with limited potential and mediocre skills, dared to meddle with her property?!

As she read the intelligence,

Ye Cunxin's anger gradually subsided, her expression turning somewhat peculiar: "Xu Ning of Shiwu City?"

The intelligence stated in detail.

The newly advanced True Person Xu Ning of Shiwu City, while passing through Golden Corner City, annihilated the Yuanchen Chamber of Commerce.

Attached also was an investigation concerning the enmity between Xu Ning and the Yuanchen Chamber, along with various aspects of 'Xu Ning'.

"Second-order at a hundred years old."

"Four Extremes True Person."

"This young one—"

Ye Cunxin closed the booklet, meditated for a moment, and a trace of helplessness flashed across her eyes as she said to the steward, "Summarize the income of the past three years in the manor."

Xu Ning's prospects were unlimited.

While she was growing old, a punch fears the young and strong. She, an old True Person with no future, also feared offending a young True Person like Xu Ning.

When she dies, it will settle everything.

But she still had descendants to consider.

"Forget it."

"I'll just have to spend money to avoid calamity."

Ye Cunxin prepared the money and without resting in the manor, went out hurriedly, heading straight to the Galaxy Academy.

...

When Chen Jichuan annihilated the Yuanchen Chamber, Duan Wenhu believed that True Person Ye would intervene to protect them.

But the result was—

Upon learning of it, Ye Cunxin was the first to visit Chen Jichuan to apologize.

When Chen Jichuan killed Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengming believed the Academy Master would hold him accountable and punish him severely.

But in fact—

The deaths of the three went unnoticed; no one inquired, treating it as if it never happened.

Both Duan Wenhu and Duan Zhengming underestimated the potential influence of a 'centenarian True Person'.

If Chen Jichuan were to kill indiscriminately, he might indeed face numerous accusations.

But he acted out due to a massive debt of vengeance for a destroyed family.

The academy would not harshly criticize him.

Ye Cunxin could understand; she wouldn't thoughtlessly believe that this was Chen Jichuan disrespecting her.

The Yuanchen Chamber was gone as soon as it was destroyed.

Duan Zhengming and others died just like that.

Everything remained as it always was.

...

Enmities were resolved.

Cause and effect were vanquished.

Chen Jichuan began his teaching career at the Galaxy Academy.

Twelve classes each year, leaving vast spare time.

Cultivation.

Alchemy.

Artifact Refining.

Talisman Making.

Formation Skills.

Chen Jichuan's schedule was packed.

Only occasionally would he have the leisure to walk amongst the True Persons in Sword City, engaging in casual conversation and discussing Dao theories.

At times, feeling restless in tranquility, he would leave Sword City to head into the depths of the land or coastal regions, engaging in battles with land demon beasts and sea beasts.

He would also explore various dangerous places and secret realms.

After the catastrophe on Wuhe Star, the demon beasts mutated, as did the flora and fauna. Dense forests grew beyond the city, and being in them felt like returning to the ancient barbaric era. In such a primitive environment, danger and opportunity coexisted. The likelihood of encountering ferocious demon beasts or finding rare treasure medicine was possible.

Chen Jichuan, equipped with countless methods, would always gain harvests during his excursions.

Some treasures could be used for refining artifacts or alchemy and were useful to him.

Others that he couldn't use, he bestowed upon his disciples.

As the years went by,

His cultivation steadily increased year by year.

From an outsider's perspective, Xu Ning of the Galaxy Academy, after advancing to a True Person, continued to progress vigorously. Besides fulfilling his duties, he was perpetually in cultivation or experience.

Such diligence, paired with talent, allowed Xu Ning's cultivation to ascend progressively.

First Layer Heaven.

Second Layer Heaven.

Third Layer Heaven.

Fourth Layer Heaven.

Fifth Layer Heaven.

Sixth Layer Heaven.

In just a hundred years, by the end of Chen Jichuan's first term, he was already a Sixth Layer Heaven True Person.

The speed of his promotions amazed the Galaxy Sword Sect and he was recognized as the greatest genius of the Galaxy Sword Sect in a thousand years.

The key point was that not only was Chen Jichuan's own cultivation incredibly fast, but his guidance of others' cultivation was equally meticulous and precise.

Among his twenty-eight disciples, seven advanced to the second order within a hundred years, stirring numerous Qi Refining experts inside and outside Sword City, eager to be accepted into his tutelage.

Many True Persons also used their connections to try to have their children taught by Chen Jichuan.

Unfortunately, Chen Jichuan no longer accepted disciples.

However, others still had a chance.

As long as one entered the Galaxy Academy, they could still listen to his lectures, and with good fortune, one might receive guidance from him.

Throughout a century, those who ascended to the second order under Chen Jichuan's guidance were not few.

After a hundred years, Chen Jichuan took up the post of Dean of the 'Alchemy Institute' at the Galaxy Academy, managing the affairs of that institute.

He remained as diligent as ever.

Often engaging with the four halls of 'Alchemy, Artifact, Talisman, Formation,' exchanging skills and insights with the alchemists, artifact refiners, array masters, and talisman makers within those halls.

His progress was outstanding.

His Alchemy Dao first advanced to the third order.

Then his Artifact Dao advanced to the third order.

His cultivation was not left behind—

Seventh Layer Heaven.

Eighth Layer Heaven.

Ninth Layer Heaven.

Breaking through boundaries consecutively, advancing consecutively. Once only a rising star in the Galaxy Sword Sect, with his cultivation's continual ascent, he shined ever more brilliantly.

It's a pity though,

The Galaxy Ancestor Master rarely made appearances, and since his entry into Sword City, Chen Jichuan had never met this Ancestor. He dealt mostly with Su Yuanlang and other Twelve Elders in everyday matters.

This left Chen Jichuan with some regrets.

It also made him curious, as he had heard that the True Martial Ancestor Master also rarely appeared, unsure whether the two Ancestors were in closed-door cultivation or if they had already left Wuhe Star.

Unseen,

Unknowable.

Chen Jichuan could only devote himself to intense cultivation, waiting for the day of reaching the peak. At that time, everything would naturally become clear.

Time flies like an arrow, and the days and months pass swiftly.

In the blink of an eye.

Chen Jichuan had been in the second order for two hundred years.

In this year,

Chen Jichuan, a True Person of Ten Layers Heaven, achieved perfection, returning to the pinnacle, the king's return!

...

"Whew!"

"Finally achieved!"

Chen Jichuan perfected the final Sword Qi, his mana surged to the apex, reaching the utmost limit, regaining the second-order pinnacle.

In his previous life, it took one thousand eight hundred eighty-two years of diligent cultivation, spanning nine hundred forty-seven years, to reach this realm.

This life, it only took him two hundred eighty-two years, including just one hundred forty-one years of cultivation to achieve this.

And this was under the circumstance that Chen Jichuan specifically focused on the "White Tiger Sword Prison Scripture," deliberately slowing his speed for meticulousness. If he had continued practicing the "Sword Map," this time could have been halved.

"Divine Soul transforms into White Tiger."

"Mana nurtures Sword Qi."

"The physical body suppresses the Purgetory."

"I am now unprecedentedly powerful, even more formidable than my peak in my previous life."

Chen Jichuan felt his being, compared it to his past life, and immediately wore a smile on his face.

He cultivated three ways in his previous life.

But both life and fate aspects were stuck at the Sixth Layer Heaven, rendering it less formidable than focusing solely on the 'White Tiger Sword Prison Scripture' this life.

His Divine Soul and physical body had completely surpassed the past, achieving a brand-new realm.

"Next, it's time to advance to Divinity Transformation."

In the Central Continent World, he was stuck at the second-order peak; this life achieved rapidly, with over eight hundred years of lifespan, he should surely progress further.

He was delighted in his heart.

At this moment, not eager to attempt, his index finger flashed with brilliance, the Fire Phoenix Ring appeared—

"Two hundred years."

"It's time to wake up."

Chen Jichuan touched the ring, his fingertip mana burst forth, became Primordial Yang Qi, and condensed into a needle, entering the ring.

Before long,

The ring gleamed, and a wisp of green smoke emerged.

Landing in the quiet chamber, it transformed into an old granny.

It was none other than Granny Gan from two hundred years ago.

"Granny, we meet again."

Chen Jichuan smiled at Granny Gan.

Opposite him, Granny Gan's figure ghostly, she looked at Chen Jichuan with a cold smile, "Indeed! We meet again!"

Two hundred years ago.

Chen Jichuan acquired the Fire Wind Ring, shattered Granny Gan's plot, destroyed her two divine separations, causing her to fall into slumber.

Not long ago.

Granny Gan just awakened from slumber but remained motionless, curled up in the ring pretending to be dead, secretly waiting for a chance to escape.

But unfortunately, during her hibernation, Chen Jichuan had already refined the Fire Wind Ring several times, not only obliterating all marks she left behind, but also refining her into the ring, making separation impossible henceforth.

Now that the ring was refined by Chen Jichuan, Granny Gan's life and death rested in his hands, no state could be concealed from him.

"Two hundred years."

"Ten Layer Heaven."

"Who would have expected you to be such a genius!"

Granny Gan looked at Chen Jichuan with resentment and hatred, yet also amazement and envy.

Two hundred years ago, when she first met Chen Jichuan, he was merely a newly promoted second-order True Person.

Two hundred years later, upon awakening to see him again, he had already reached the Ten Layer Heaven.

Even though Granny Gan had seen much in her life, she hadn't seen many who could traverse the second order in just two hundred years.

Back then, she, too, achieved Ten Layer Heaven at nearly five hundred years old, took over two hundred years afterwards to break into the Divinity Transformation Realm.

In terms of the True Person stage alone, she wasn't as good as Chen Jichuan.
