Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

"Go!"

"To the North Sea!"

The massive gains from the East Sea had greatly invigorated the two Grandmasters. After leaving the East Sea, the three immediately headed non-stop to the North Sea.

The news of the battle in the East Sea had not yet spread.

Nor had the news of Di Xu's defeat and escape reached others.

The three employed the same strategy as before, with the True Martial Ancestor and Galaxy Ancestor stepping forward while Chen Jichuan remained in the shadows, secretly preparing his 'Innate One Qi Demon-locking Bone-shrinking Great Method.'

When Li Luan attempted to flee from the North Sea, they seized the opportunity to strike, using the 'Seven-star Sword Diagram' to kill him in one decisive blow.

This time, the haul was even greater!

The corpse of a Divinity Transformation-level Flood Dragon, alongside Li Luan's many treasures carried on his person, and the wealth stored within the Dragon Palace vault exceeded the rewards gained from the East Sea battle twofold.

Thus.

Di Xu was driven out of the East Sea, and Li Luan was slain in the North Sea.

Chen Jichuan and the other two Human Clan Divinity Transformation Grandmasters reaped overwhelming rewards, returning triumphant and laden with spoils.

The Wuhe Star had thus entered a turning point, beginning a new chapter!

...

In Wuhe Calendar Year 1170, Xu Ning, the third Human Grandmaster, ascended to Divinity Transformation. The Human Clan's prestige soared, shocking the four Demon Emperors of Moyun, Nine Netherworld, Jiao Tong, and Jianyang into retreat across the stars.

From then onward, the Humans claimed dominance over six continents, ushering in an era of prosperity.

In Wuhe Calendar Year 1218, the three Grandmasters — Galaxy, True Martial, and Xu Ning — swept across the stars, driving out the East Sea Demon Emperor Di Xu and slaying the North Sea Demon Emperor Li Luan.

From that moment onward, the Human Clan achieved supremacy over Wuhe Star, establishing dominance unrivaled by other forces, with two sects sharing the lead.

Twenty years later.

True Martial Ancestor, Galaxy Ancestor, and Xu Ning Ancestor jointly announced the merger of the True Martial Immortal Sect and the Galaxy Sword Sect into the unified 'Wuhe Immortal Sect.'

The three Divinity Transformation Ancestors were revered as the founding ancestors of the sect.

A new age dawned for Wuhe Star.

Twenty years after that.

The True Martial Ancestor and Galaxy Ancestor announced their reclusion, and they have not emerged since. Subsequently, the 'Wuhe Immortal Sect' entered what would be called the 'Xu Ning Era.'

In Wuhe Calendar Year 1370.

Xu Ning Ancestor celebrated his 500th birthday, marking 200 years since his ascension to Divinity Transformation, and 132 years since the establishment of Wuhe Immortal Sect.

On February 9th.

Xiao Lan, a True Person of the former Galaxy Sword Sect, crossed the Six-nine Heavenly Tribulation at the South Sea coastline in Qing State and ascended to Divinity Transformation.

She became the fourth Divinity Transformation of the Human Clan on Wuhe Star, and the fourth Divine Transformation Grandmaster of Wuhe Immortal Sect.

In June of the same year.

Xu Ning Ancestor's primary disciple, Huang Quan, broke through the Realm and survived the tribulation, becoming the fifth Divinity Transformation Grandmaster of Wuhe Immortal Sect.

The joyous news stirred collective celebration among billions of Human cultivators.

With five Divinity Transformation Grandmasters presiding, it was further evidence that the Human Clan on Wuhe Star was destined to remain standing, flourishing eternally for generations to come.

...

In November of Wuhe Calendar Year 1370.

At the border between Ming State and Yue State.

A city that had rapidly risen over the past century, known as 'Wuhe City,' had become the political, cultural, diplomatic, cultivation, and economic hub of the Wuhe Immortal Sect.

The former Galaxy Sword Sect and True Martial Immortal Sect had each centered their operations around 'one-character cities'—

Example: 'Fat City,' 'Ning City,' and 'Sword City' of the Galaxy Sword Sect; and 'Red City,' 'Shi City,' and 'Wu City' of the True Martial Immortal Sect.

They also employed 'two-character cities' as peripheral Guard Cities—

Example: 'Golden Corner City' and 'Shiwu City.'

However, after their merger into the Wuhe Immortal Sect, a single exception stood out: 'Wuhe City,' surpassing any main city in scale, and becoming the largest city across all of Wuhe Immortal Sect.

Over the years, Wuhe City had grown exponentially.

It had become the forefront of structural integration and unification between the former Galaxy Sword Sect and True Martial Immortal Sect.

In 132 years since its founding, aided by two decades of proactive efforts from the founding ancestors — Galaxy, True Martial, and Xu Ning — and a century of consolidation under Xu Ning alone, the traces of the Galaxy Sword Sect and True Martial Immortal Sect were steadily disappearing.

Today, a majority of the younger generation simply referred to themselves as 'disciples of Wuhe Immortal Sect.'

Perhaps in another few centuries, the names Galaxy Sword Sect and True Martial Immortal Sect would fade into history, leaving only Wuhe Immortal Sect on Wuhe Star.

Everything was progressing towards a bright future.

...

On this day.

Within the White Tiger Hall at Wuhe City.

Chen Jichuan sat cross-legged, refining a Magical Treasure.

He was utilizing countless rare refining materials collected from the East Sea and North Sea, along with numerous resources gathered by sect disciples across the seven continents and four seas of Wuhe Star during his years of leadership over Wuhe Immortal Sect. His expertise in Artifact Refining had reached new heights.

Over more than a century.

Chen Jichuan managed to refine six third-order Magical Treasures, all of which were stored in the sect's treasury.

These six treasures had been specifically crafted for the future Divinity Transformation Venerables of Wuhe Immortal Sect.

As for his personal arsenal, apart from the four treasures obtained from Nine Peak Daoist — including the 'Nine Peak Palace' — he also possessed three pieces he had crafted before his Divinity Transformation, as well as the 'Fire Phoenix Ring' taken from Xiao Lan.

Altogether, he had nine third-order Magical Treasures on his person.

Of the treasures acquired from Nine Peak Daoist, there were originally five, but one of them, the 'Green Grain Sword,' had been gifted to Galaxy Ancestor, leaving him with four remaining.

Among the four—

The 'Nine Peak Palace' served as a personal dwelling.

The 'Hun Yan Instrument' functioned as a Star Map.

The 'Universe Spirit Shuttle' specialized in travel.

And the 'Ten Thousand Leaf Sword River' proved to be the most wieldy, working harmoniously with the 'Seven-star Sword Diagram' to deliver immense power.

This was strictly an offensive Magical Treasure.

The 'Fire Phoenix Ring' was also purely offensive.

Following his Divinity Transformation, Chen Jichuan further refined three of his earlier crafted treasures.

Among these three—

The 'Six Yang Cauldron' was a replica of the treasured artifact of the Pill Hall of Central Continent World's Heaven Mending Sect, specifically purposed for Alchemy.

The 'Fire Dragon Immortal Banner' was similarly modeled after a Pill Hall treasure. While primarily intended for Alchemy, it also possessed formidable offensive capabilities. Its original form was fourth-order, and Chen Jichuan planned to eventually merge the 'Fire Phoenix Ring' into the 'Fire Dragon Immortal Banner' when his cultivation reached higher levels. Since the treasures shared a similar nature, retaining one would suffice.

Currently, the 'Fire Phoenix Ring' was stronger in terms of power, but the 'Fire Dragon Immortal Banner' held superior long-term potential.

Aside from these two treasures, the third was the one Chen Jichuan was refining at this moment—

[Magical Treasure: Three Flowers Divine Shuttle]

[Level: Third-order]

[Description: Refined by Wuhe Immortal Sect's 'Four Extremes Grandmaster' Xu Ning Ancestor, modeled after the treasured artifact of Central Continent World's Five Elements Sect — 'Three Flowers Divine Shuttle.' This treasure wields mystical power, emitting interwoven rays of gold, red, and white brilliance in flight, encircling its user. When faced with attacks from Evil Techniques or Exotic Treasures, it releases scattered golden blooms, projecting thousands of silver rain and gold stars into opposing demonic auras and malicious ambient forces.]

This was an exceptional Magical Treasure for self-defense.

Back when Heaven Mending Sect and two other Immortal Sects joined forces to besiege Five Elements Sect, it had taken four Ten-layered Heaven True Persons wielding first-order treasures like the 'True Essence Scissors' to subdue the 'Three Flowers Divine Shuttle.'

It exuded an aura of "only the Four Saints can break it" in its prime.

Later acquired by Heaven Mending Sect, it eventually fell into Chen Jichuan's hands, where he thoroughly analyzed and replicated it. By the time he entered the Central Continent World, he had refined it multiple times and was already proficient.

In this lifetime, Chen Jichuan had selected the 'Three Flowers Divine Shuttle' from the outset as his defensive artifact.

Handcrafted treasures offered exceptional sensitivity and synchronization in wielding them.

After 200 years of Divinity Transformation, Chen Jichuan periodically refined the 'Three Flowers Divine Shuttle,' further boosting its power to levels sufficient for use during the Heavenly Human Realm and Primordial Unity Realm.

On this day.

Chen Jichuan completed his refinement, as Wuhe Immortal Sect's two newly ascended second-generation Divinity Transformation Grandmasters arrived.

One was Huang Quan.

One was Xiao Lan.

...

"Master."

"Xu Ancestor."

Huang Quan and Xiao Lan entered the hall and respectfully saluted Chen Jichuan.

"Sit."

Chen Jichuan withdrew the 'Three Flowers Divine Shuttle' and waited for them to settle before turning toward Xiao Lan and speaking: "The 'Five Wheel Fire Separation Technique' you had cultivated previously can only support you till Divinity Transformation. Beyond that, it offers no path forward. Within the sect is a scripture titled 'Fire Refining Heart Scripture,' capable of cultivation up to the second layer of Divinity Transformation, the Primordial Unity Realm. It suits you well. Separately, I also possess a Secret Technique from Granny Gan, titled 'Nine Revolutions Gang Flame,' which is the progression for the 'Five Wheel Fire Separation Technique.' However, this method is deeply intertwined with the affairs of Medicine King Star's Starfall Pavilion. If you choose to practice it, falling under their attention may bring disaster. Consider your options carefully."

...

Chen Jichuan studied Xiao Lan, keeping a composed exterior while feeling subtle disquiet within. He had been immersed in cultivation for many years, during which Xiao Lan had also been training diligently elsewhere, and the two had rarely crossed paths.

Xiao Lan's sudden ascension to Divinity Transformation had already caught Chen Jichuan off guard.

And today's meeting brought yet another jolt of surprise.

"Avatar: Human Xiao Lan?"

"Main Body: Immortal Vine Subspecies?"

Chen Jichuan, an experienced and prudent figure, maintained his calm appearance while secretly communicating with Granny Gan through the 'Fire Phoenix Ring.'

"Soul Splitting Body Seizing Technique?"

"Possibly seized the Moyun Vine?!"

Granny Gan, alarmed to hear Chen Jichuan's explanation, took a moment to collect herself before hesitatingly responding: "'Soul Splitting Body Seizing Technique' is a Secret Technique of my Starfall Pavilion, but its drawbacks are significant, limiting the user to a single seizure. Additionally, it reduces lifespan and limits comprehension, effectively extinguishing any future prospects. Back then, my own desire for survival was why I attempted to seize Xiao Lan's body. I had already reached the Divinity Transformation Third Realm and hoped to ascend further into the Divine Transformation Realm—even if I ended up as a scattered immortal—so I might still grasp a thread of immortal fate. Xiao Lan likely learned about this technique through residual memories from the two avatars of mine she encountered."

Four hundred years ago.

Granny Gan had attempted to seize Xiao Lan's body, but Chen Jichuan had thwarted her efforts, leading to her failure. She had assumed her two avatars had dissipated for good, yet Xiao Lan not only survived the ordeal but emerged strengthened, having extracted 'Soul Splitting Body Seizing Technique' from the ordeal as an unexpected boon.

"As for the Moyun Vine's seizure—"

Reflecting further, Granny Gan elaborated: "In the Immortal Vine Clan, there's a rare chance for twin births, resulting in Twin Immortal Vines. One of the pair bears a 'Supreme Bone,' granting them the right to consume 'Immortal Vine Fruit' and embark on a brilliant immortal journey. The other is relegated to a lesser rank, becoming the subspecies 'Moyun Vine,' destined for a far humbler path. When I entered Moro's Cave Mansion, I saw Nine Peak Daoist collecting Moro's remains as well as two small Immortal Vines. One appeared weak and barely alive, while the other was in a dormant state, presumably the future Moyun Demon Emperor."

At the time, she had been intent on acquiring treasures and hadn't paid much attention to these details.

It was only now, upon recounting it, that she noticed the sinister threads—

"It seems the fragile Immortal Vine was meant to hold the 'Supreme Bone,' but it had been forcibly claimed by the dormant vine, merging into it. The former was left near death while the latter slipped into a deep slumber, evolving."

"Later, they were brought to Wuhe Star by Nine Peak Daoist along with Moro's remains."

"One became Moyun Demon Emperor."

"The other—"

Likely became the struggling entity that, for unknown reasons, eventually fell prey to Xiao Lan's body seizure!
