Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

The choice of the new Academy Master for Galaxy Academy stirred chaos in Sword City, gradually involving the entire Galaxy Sword Sect.

Just when many True Persons expected a fierce competition to unfold,

the Galaxy Ancestor returned and directly appointed 'Hongyuan' of the Four Seas Hall, bringing an end to the matter of selection.

…

On this day.

In the Galaxy Hall of Sword City.

The masters of the Ten Halls and Two Prefectures, along with the five existing Ten-layered Heaven True Persons, seventeen individuals in total, gathered together.

The newly appointed Academy Master 'Hongyuan' was also among them.

Having been personally appointed by the Galaxy Ancestor as the Academy Master, Hongyuan was overjoyed beyond expectation. Battling throughout his life, he had now ascended to a position among the twelve most prominent figures in the Galaxy Sword Sect, subordinate only to one, a feat worthy of his lifetime. Naturally, his heart was filled with happiness.

He glanced at everyone present in the hall.

Laigu from the Demon Slaying Hall.

Zhang Xian from the Wancheng Hall.

Sima Ji from the Artifact Hall.

Yuwn Tu from the Beast Hall.

These four, once his competitors, now could only occupy the lesser seats with deference.

But one person, Xu Ning of the Galaxy Academy, had yet to arrive.

"The Ancestor made the decision; could he dare to show dissatisfaction?"

Hongyuan frowned inwardly, somewhat worried about Xu Ning.

He knew Xu Ning possessed extraordinary talent, achieving Ten-layered Heaven at only three hundred years old. However, such a young prodigy was prone to impulsivity. If he harbored resentment due to this failed competition, it might invite the Ancestor's reprimand.

While Hongyuan had no intention of relinquishing the position of Academy Master, he also didn't wish to see such a promising figure fall from grace due to missteps.

His thoughts were swirling on how to handle the matter appropriately.

As he was deliberating,

two figures suddenly appeared atop the Galaxy Hall without any noise or light, taking their seats.

Hongyuan looked up.

Seated at the center was a middle-aged man—the Galaxy Ancestor. Beside him, slightly lower in rank, was a youth in a green robe.

Hongyuan instantly recognized him and exclaimed in shock—

"Xu Ning?!"

It wasn't just Hongyuan.

The seventeen Ten-layered Heaven True Persons present were all stunned. While Xu Ning was a prodigy, how could he rank above them?!

Even if he did, how could he dare sit on equal footing with the Ancestor?!

"Unless—"

Peng Zhong, the previous Academy Master of Galaxy Academy, gazed at Chen Jichuan seated above, his heart filled with speculation.

In recent days, after hearing of Chen Jichuan's return to the Academy, Peng Zhong had sought him out, but to no avail. Chen Jichuan had met a few disciples in the Academy before vanishing again.

Soon after, the Ancestor returned, settled the matter of the new Academy Master, and immediately convened this meeting.

Everything happened so swiftly.

Today was Peng Zhong's first direct encounter with Chen Jichuan.

And this sight led his thoughts to wander uncontrollably.

Not just Hongyuan.

Not just Peng Zhong.

The other attendees were equally shocked, harboring bold conjectures of their own.

The Galaxy Ancestor, however, had no intention of keeping them in suspense. He gazed at the seventeen below with a resonant voice and declared, "Xu Ning has ascended to Divinity Transformation; henceforth, he shall be the second Ancestor of our Galaxy Sword Sect."

Boom!

The Galaxy Ancestor's emphatic words left no room for doubt.

The minds of everyone present seemed to explode, as if the heavens had been overturned!

"Three hundred years old?"

"Divinity Transformation?!"

"He only reached Ten-layered Heaven twenty years ago, didn't he?!"

"This this this this!"

The seventeen True Persons were all thrown into turmoil, their thoughts chaotic and unable to believe what they heard.

They might have entertained the notion of Chen Jichuan achieving Divinity Transformation.

But they had never imagined this day would arrive so soon, so abruptly!

They were momentarily dumbfounded.

Hongyuan froze in place, only now understanding why he had surpassed this formidable rival to secure the role of Academy Master, and why the Galaxy Ancestor had bypassed this top-tier genius to directly appoint him.

The reason for all this was simply too overwhelming for anyone to fathom.

Seated at the high dais, the Galaxy Ancestor observed the stunned silence and commanded in a deep tone, "Why aren't you bowing to greet Ancestor Xu?"

The others snapped out of it, their shock giving way as they hurriedly bowed—

"Disciples pay respects to the Ancestor."

"Paying respects to Ancestor Xu."

From today onward,

Chen Jichuan was officially the second Divinity Transformation Ancestor of the Galaxy Sword Sect.

News of this spread far and wide, shaking two continents, and citizens everywhere rejoiced and celebrated.

Soon after, it was reported within the True Martial Immortal Sect across Ming State and Cangzhou, leading to jubilations among billions of cultivators who bowed towards Yuezhou Sword City, congratulating the Human Clan's third Divinity Transformation Ancestor!

…

What affairs could weigh down a warrior? To view the cosmos as mere grains of rice.

With great tides comes no worry; amidst worldly chaos, why bother fretting?

…

After receiving Divinity Transformation cultivation techniques, the Galaxy Ancestor and True Martial Ancestor Master distanced themselves from worldly affairs to focus exclusively on their secluded cultivation. Occasionally, when exiting seclusion, they would take promising True Persons under their tutelage for frequent guidance.

This was preparation for their eventual departure from Wuhe Star.

Chen Jichuan followed suit.

He kept disciples by his side or sent them out to train, hoping they would mature rapidly.

Compared to the other two Ancestors, Chen Jichuan actually had greater confidence. As long as any of his disciples reached the peak of Ten-layered Heaven, he could rely on 'Dharma Pill' combined with the 'Enlightenment' Great Method, significantly increasing the likelihood of nurturing another Divinity Transformation cultivator.

Time flowed quickly.

Chen Jichuan devoted himself not only to teaching disciples but also to cultivating himself as a priority.

Upon ascending to Divinity Transformation, there was no prior experience to follow, everything was uncharted territory, causing Chen Jichuan's cultivation progress to slow.

However, being at the Divinity Transformation level was fundamentally different; the scope for advancement was vast.

Cultivation was one aspect.

Upon breaking through to Divinity Transformation's First Realm, the Heavenly Human Realm, his Divine Soul expanded immensely, opening his consciousness sea silently amidst the resonance of his energy. His entire body became akin to an 'internal universe,' with Dantian and consciousness sea serving as the two central cores, nurturing his Mana and Divine Soul, continually growing, strengthening, and transforming.

Chen Jichuan's sensing power, or 'Divine Sense,' was rapidly improving.

From its initial range of thirty to forty miles before his tribulation breakthrough, stabilizing at a hundred-mile radius post-breakthrough, the range doubled—vastly expanding his perception.

During cultivation,

Chen Jichuan exchanged insights with the two Ancestors, learning that their sensing range in the Heavenly Human Realm First Layer was only around a dozen miles. Now in the Heavenly Human Realm Third Layer, their range had only grown to thirty miles or so.

In terms of sheer radius, Chen Jichuan's reach was tenfold greater.

"This is the disparity between True Sect Level cultivation methods and refined level skills."

"It's incomparable!"

Chen Jichuan was keenly aware of his advantages, which extended beyond Divine Sense to Mana quality and physical strength, surpassing the other Ancestors from the same rank significantly.

In the Second Realm, Chen Jichuan demonstrated the ability to fight across ranks.

Now in the Third Realm of Divinity Transformation, the Heavenly Human Realm, he retained qualification to challenge higher ranks.

"Until further comparison is available, it's hard to determine the limits."

"But upon entering the Third Realm, even techniques that previously stagnated in the Second Realm can now develop further."

Before becoming a True Person, Chen Jichuan had already cultivated multiple Super-level Techniques to the Fourth Realm.

Ordinarily,

This level was only achievable by Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Chen Jichuan leveraged 'Enlightenment,' enabling him to accomplish this.

However, owing to cultivation limitations, Fourth Realm was the maximum he could reach. For example, he had pushed 'Daluo Heavenly Sleeve' to the Fourth Realm repeatedly using 'Enlightenment,' but it yielded diminishing returns.

This was the bottleneck imposed by cultivation level.

Were he to disregard costs and brute force 'Daluo Heavenly Sleeve' further, Chen Jichuan might have achieved the Fifth Realm during the True Person Stage.

But the process would consume excessive time and prove unfeasible.

Thus, he temporarily set it aside.

Now, with his breakthrough to Divinity Transformation, he could finally progress with ease.

'Daluo Heavenly Sleeve.'

'Wind Thunder All Heavens Great Escape.'

'Seven Elements Relieving Calamity Ruyi Tiangang Splitting Light Sword Technique.'

'Three-in-One Indestructible Golden Light Body Protection Technique.'

…

Technique after technique was refined, growing increasingly profound.

Such breakthroughs in techniques also augmented Chen Jichuan's combat prowess.

Furthermore, beyond cultivation and techniques, Chen Jichuan gained newfound understanding of 'alchemy, artifact, talisman, formation,' owing to his elevated status.

Previously at the Second Realm, the processes of crafting third-order magic tools and third-order pills often felt cumbersome, as though something remained elusive or incomprehensible.

Now, having personally achieved breakthrough, everything felt natural; countless previously perplexing concepts became crystal clear.

His progress in alchemy and artifact refinement skyrocketed.

In talisman making and formation, despite having guidance from third-order talisman makers and formation masters' Dao Fruits, the short duration of his study limited his achievements.

Within this lifetime, he had barely delved into these two areas for over a century, managing to reach the Second Realm nonetheless.

As for the Third Realm, its threshold remained out of reach.

However, with his elevation in cultivation, these skills advanced rapidly. The lifelong experiences contained within the Dao Fruits of ten third-order formation masters and two third-order talisman makers in the Central Continent World no longer posed any mysteries to him.

He grinded through them, understanding everything down to the last detail.

Talisman making and formation were now advancing towards the Third Realm with unstoppable momentum.

Time whisked away amidst his all-around enhancements.

A year.

Two years.

Ten years.

Twenty years.

In the forty-eighth year of Chen Jichuan's Divinity Transformation initiation, the True Martial Ancestor emerged from seclusion and came to Sword City.

…

In Sword City.

At the South Mountain Hall.

This was the typical residence and cultivation site of the Galaxy Ancestor.

Today, the True Martial Ancestor visited, accompanied by Chen Jichuan, as the three gathered in the hall to sip tea and converse.

Forty-eight years had flown by.

The True Martial Ancestor had fully transitioned to cultivating the 'Jiuyu Battle Body,' his aura growing significantly stronger as his cultivation advanced to the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Transitioning from the early stage to the middle stage, his progress was notable.

Yet in terms of potential and combat capabilities, he had far surpassed his status from forty-eight years ago.

The cultivation technique was one factor.

Advanced techniques were another.

The Galaxy Ancestor had similarly achieved—

Completion of cultivation technique transformation.

Rapid assimilation of techniques.

In a mere forty-eight years, both Ancestors had greatly enhanced their levels of cultivation, foundations, potential, and combat prowess.

As they discussed the Demon Race, the True Martial Ancestor chuckled and said, "The Six Great Demon Emperors had previously been restrained on Wuhe Star by Nine Peak Palace. Forty-eight years ago, after Xu Brother seized Nine Peak Palace, Moyun Demon Emperor, Nine Nether Demon Emperor, and the Flood Dragons of the West and South Seas all left to explore the cosmos. Now, only those occupying the East and North Seas remain—holding on stubbornly. I've come today to request the two of you to join forces and drive out these two Dragon Kings."

Forty-eight years ago,

Chen Jichuan seized Nine Peak Palace, prompting Moyun and other four Demon Emperors who had previously been tethered by its allure on Wuhe Star to leave one by one.

The Green State of Moyun Demon Emperor was claimed by the True Martial Immortal Sect.

The Yaozhou of Nine Nether Demon Emperor was conquered by the Galaxy Sword Sect.

From this point onward,

The Human Clan expanded its territory across Wuhe Star to encompass six continents.

Excluding the uninhabitable South Pole Snow Continent, Earth's landmass was fully claimed by the Human Clan.

As for the Four Seas, their contrast to the land rendered them a different battleground. The two remaining Dragon Kings had a home-field advantage, while the Human Clan remained preoccupied with consolidating their recently acquired continents, leaving no capacity available for further campaigns.

Nonetheless, once the Human Clan solidified its grasp on the land, the Four Seas would inevitably be captured.

Before that could happen, the lingering Dragon Kings within the Four Seas needed to be expelled.

This was precisely the purpose of the True Martial Ancestor's visit today.

"My brother and I share this intent!"

The Galaxy Ancestor, upon hearing this, immediately laughed and said, "The Six Demon Emperors have dwindled to two; they pose no threat. It's better to push them out sooner and claim the Four Seas swiftly."

Driving out these last two Demon Emperors would render Wuhe Star wholly dominated by the Human Clan.

The two Ancestors had eagerly awaited this day for a millennium, and now that everything was falling into place, they could hardly contain themselves.

Had the True Martial Ancestor not come, the Galaxy Ancestor would certainly have sought him out.

When the topic aligned, their enthusiasm naturally found common ground.

Chen Jichuan shared the same thoughts: "The Demon Race within the Four Seas doesn't need to be wiped out entirely, but on Wuhe Star, only Human Clan Divinity Transformations can dominate!"
