Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

Wuhe Star boasts seven continents and four seas, vast territories that nurture countless living beings.

But in the grand expanse of the universe, the mighty Wuhe Star is but an insignificant speck among billions of stars. Located at the very edge of the Nine Dragons Star System, it is perpetually overlooked, a place where no footprints are seen.

This is a remote corner of the universe, even within the Nine Dragons Star System it remains disregarded.

From afar.

There is nothing remarkable about Wuhe Star to be seen.

In the starry universe, Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators travel faster than light in the 'subspace.' Relying only on their vision and Divine Sense, many undiscovered and overlooked life-bearing planets abound.

In fact, most life-bearing planets are discovered only because they birthed Divinity Transformation cultivators. When a powerful cultivator steps into the celestial pathways, they bring fame to their home planet over time.

Such is the case for Wuhe Star.

Previously unknown and insignificant, but with Chen Jichuan, the Galaxy Ancestor, and the True Martial Ancestor appearing among the stars, the planet will sooner or later find its way into various star maps, with its rough location recorded.

Just as Medicine King Star, where Grandma Gan originated, and Canghai Star, the home of Nine Peaks Daoist.

"Wuhe Star lies in Zone 9 of the Nine Dragons Star System, extremely distant from the core regions. With my current cultivation level, even traveling with the 'Cosmic Spirit Shuttle' would take several hundred years."

"The core region is bustling beyond imagination."

"But I'm in no hurry to go now."

Given the vast distance to the core region, and with Chen Jichuan's current cultivation and equipment, the journey would be far too time-consuming. It would be better to traverse the surrounding areas, build up his cultivation further, and upgrade to a more advanced tool like the 'Galaxy Walking' or 'Space-Time Travel.' Then, the entirety of the Nine Dragons Star System will be open to him.

The Galaxy Ancestor and True Martial Ancestor went ahead of him, heading for 'Magic Sound Mountain,' the most active hub of Divinity Transformation cultivators within Zone 9.

"'Magic Sound Mountain' is also a planet, and the cultivation site of the prominent 'Magic Sound Ten Patriarchs' in the Nine Dragons Star System. The Ten Patriarchs are living legends; ten brothers pursuing cultivation together, stepping into the Divinity Transformation Realm one after another. While five passed away at the first three stages of Divinity Transformation, the remaining Five Patriarchs all ascended into the Divine Transformation stage. When their life spans reached their limit, they underwent Soldier Dissolution and became Independent Immortals. Over a thousand years ago, they were at the Third and Fourth Tribulation levels as Independent Immortals, and now they should have reached the Fourth and Fifth Tribulation Realms."

"The 'Magic Sound Five Patriarchs' are peaceful by nature, welcoming other cultivators to Magic Sound Mountain while shunning conflict and slaughter. As a result, fighting is strictly prohibited on Magic Sound Mountain."

"Over time."

"Many loose cultivators began to treat this as a refuge, and as the population grew, trade flourished as well. Major factions across the starry universe, like the 'Biluo Palace' led by Nine Peaks Daoist and the alchemy-focused 'Starfall Pavilion,' have all established businesses here in Magic Sound Mountain."

The starry expanse is dazzling yet monotonous.

Chen Jichuan, riding the 'Cosmic Spirit Shuttle,' follows the guidance of the 'Hun Yan Instrument,' making his way to 'Magic Sound Mountain.'

Grandma Gan, released from the Fire Phoenix Ring for a breath of fresh air, leisurely introduces Magic Sound Mountain, the Magic Sound Ten Patriarchs, the Magic Sound Five Patriarchs, and the major factions of the Nine Dragons Star System.

"Four Directions Sect."

"Starfall Pavilion."

"Biluo Palace."

"Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals."

"Beast Spirit Palace."

Within the Nine Dragons Star System, there are countless factions of varying size, but the most renowned and powerful belong to these five major powers.

The 'Four Directions Sect' operates across all directions, conducting various businesses.

This is a truly supreme faction.

It is said that the Four Directions Sect does business not only within the Nine Dragons Star System but also across neighboring systems, with a vast, intimidating influence that no one dares provoke.

'Starfall Pavilion' originates from 'Medicine King Star,' the birthplace of Grandma Gan.

The Pavilion recruits numerous alchemists, specializing in the pill business. Although rooted in the Nine Dragons Star System, they manage to carve out a share outside of the Four Directions Sect's shadow.

'Beast Spirit Palace' operates similarly.

Its 'Beast Spirit Walkers' traverse the cosmos hunting spirit beasts and exotic species, taming them, deploying various restrictive methods, and then selling them through 'Beast Spirit Palace.'

Their business is rather large as well.

As for the 'Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals' and 'Biluo Palace.'

The former is composed entirely of female cultivators, dedicated to rescuing countless oppressed and persecuted female cultivators across the stars, seeking equality and freedom, championing their rights with iron fists.

On most planets, male supremacy prevails, with female cultivators being inherently scarce. Only by banding together can they stand tall, remain independent, and protect themselves!

This is a faction worthy of respect and one of immense strength.

The best way to deal with them is through non-contact, avoiding interaction to prevent being mistaken as an enemy by their sensitive temperament.

Especially for male prodigies like Chen Jichuan!

As for 'Biluo Palace.'

This is a loose alliance formed by cultivators seeking Immortal Dao, united by shared aspirations. They organized for mutual protection and created a platform to more easily exchange teachings and insights.

Biluo Palace began with several Divinity Transformation cultivators led by 'Daoist Biluo,' gradually expanding to become one of the top-tier factions within the Nine Dragons Star System.

This development likely exceeded even the founders' expectations.

...

"I am adept in alchemy, artifact refinement, talisman creation, and formation techniques; wherever I go, I'll be highly sought after."

Chen Jichuan knew he was an asset, but among the five major factions, entering them wasn't easy.

Among the five—

The Four Directions Sect was inaccessible as they had their rigorous disciple-selection criteria.

Beast Spirit Palace was equally off-limits; though Chen Jichuan was hailed as 'Four Extremes,' he lacked proficiency in Beast Taming, and couldn't qualify as a 'Beast Spirit Walker.'

The Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals was also out of reach unless he was willing to display the 'Dutian Rakshasa Chaos Yin Yang Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Life and Death Treasure Method.'

"Unnecessary."

"I can choose to join the 'Starfall Pavilion' or 'Biluo Palace.'"

Between the two.

Chen Jichuan leaned more towards the former.

With Grandma Gan by his side, combined with his own alchemy skills, joining would undoubtedly mean seamless integration.

But alas, Starfall Pavilion was highly organized; while they welcomed alchemists, they conducted meticulous background checks on identity and origin.

Chen Jichuan hailed from Wuhe Star, which was still fragile and would be unwise to reveal prematurely.

Thus.

If he were to join a top-tier faction, among the five, only Biluo Palace remained.

"Biluo Palace isn't bad either."

"Though there are a number of acquaintances of Nine Peaks Daoist within it; I'll need to remain vigilant to avoid revealing my origins and drawing malicious attention."

These considerations had already been fully fleshed out by Chen Jichuan. Upon entering the starry realm, he refined them further through conversations with Grandma Gan, ensuring no oversight.

Next, he devoted himself to cultivation aboard the Cosmic Spirit Shuttle.

...

Cultivators practice their art in two domains.

Mana is one aspect, and Dao comprehension is another.

The former is akin to water, while the latter serves as the bucket containing the water.

Only by enhancing Dao comprehension, enlarging the bucket, can one store greater amounts of mana and expand capacity.

At the Divinity Transformation Stage, advancing in either mana or Dao comprehension proves arduous.

Take mana, for instance.

In the starry realm, Primordial Qi is thin; even absorbing spiritual energy from planets barely scratches the surface. Relying solely on self-cultivation to accumulate mana is simply unrealistic.

Thus, resources become essential.

Like Spirit Crystals, Primordial Stones, and various pills for mana growth.

Among these, Spirit Crystals and Primordial Stones are the most common.

For example, Nine Peaks Daoist.

Until his death, Nine Peak Palace still contained tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals and twelve thousand Primordial Stones. These served both as tools for cultivation and as supplies for replenishing mana after battles or while traveling.

They are never excessive.

When cultivating mana, Chen Jichuan consumes Spirit Crystals. The spiritual energy within Spirit Crystals, both in quality and quantity, pales in comparison to Primordial Stones.

The effectiveness of cultivation using Spirit Crystals falls far behind that of Primordial Stones.

Chen Jichuan acquired twelve thousand Primordial Stones and forty thousand Spirit Crystals from Nine Peak Palace.

During his association with Galaxy Ancestor and True Martial Ancestor, driving out Di Xu and killing Li Luan, he obtained the accumulations of a thousand years from the East Sea and North Sea Dragon Palaces, totaling nearly ten million Spirit Crystals.

Divided equally among the three, each received over three million.

Over the years.

While overseeing Wuhe Immortal Sect, Chen Jichuan's personal stock of Spirit Crystals and Primordial Stones remained untouched; instead, he extracted thirty to forty thousand from the sect's annual revenue.

Accumulating four million Spirit Crystals.

"Four million Spirit Crystals."

"Twelve thousand Primordial Stones."

Indeed, this was a considerable fortune.

Given the current circumstances, using Spirit Crystals for cultivation suffices. Primordial Stones can be reserved for breakthroughs or urgent mana recoveries.

In truth.

Most Divinity Transformation cultivators operate this way.

Only a select few can afford to freely use Primordial Stones for routine cultivation.

...

Hiss hiss hiss!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Chen Jichuan activated his cultivation technique, and piles of Spirit Crystals from his storage bag fell beside him, quickly turning into gray ashes as their spiritual energy was fully devoured.

A single Spirit Crystal could sustain a Second-order True Person's cultivation for one to two hours.

But for a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, they couldn't last long before being completely refined. For a newly ascended cultivator like Chen Jichuan, one hour might consume three to four hundred Spirit Crystals.

Though he possessed four million Spirit Crystals, they could only support his cultivation for fifteen to twenty years.

"Although my cultivation technique contributes to this consumption, even ordinary Heavenly Human Realm cultivators would need four to five thousand Spirit Crystals yearly for just two hours of daily cultivation."

However, cultivating in areas rich with spiritual energy or planets would naturally reduce the cost.

In essence——

"Either you have wealth, or you have land."

Chen Jichuan shook his head.

Within the cultivation world and even in the vast starry realm, 'wealth' and 'land' remain intertwined and continue to serve as key indicators of a cultivator's assets and status.

It is said that among the Four Directions Sect's numerous businesses, 'land sales' is one of them.

Be it spirit fields for cultivating rare spiritual medicines or Immortal Grain, or spirit lands for cultivators, as long as the price is right, the Four Directions Sect will have offerings available for purchase.

...

Traveling is monotonous.

Chen Jichuan often cultivates, not only accumulating mana but also attuning himself to Dao comprehension.

The journey to Magic Sound Mountain will take twenty years, with round trips totaling forty.

Chen Jichuan chose to travel after reaching the second layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, intending to use the journey time to accumulate mana.

But beyond mana cultivation, Dao comprehension cannot be neglected.

"Second-order Peak, Heaven and Human Communication, adjusting the Nine Acupoints."

"Once inner and outer harmony is achieved, I'll step into the Heaven and Human Unity Realm."

"At that point, I'll resonate with the heavens and integrate with them, existing within the natural world and perceiving the patterns of heaven and earth. During this process, my understanding of the cosmos will deepen, expanding my consciousness sea and strengthening my Divine Soul."

"When the consciousness sea reaches its peak and the Divine Soul achieves perfect completeness, that's when I'll enter the second realm of Divinity Transformation, the 'Primordial Unity Realm.'"

"A perfected Divine Soul gives rise to the Primordial Spirit, marking the 'Primordial Unity Realm.'"

"This opens up an entirely new dimension."
