Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

Jiulong River System.

Zone 8.

Deep within the starry sky, the stars align, evolving into wheels of wind, water, and gold. Above the golden wheel lies the Nine Mountains, Eight Seas, and Four Heavenly Worlds.

Countless mortals dwell within the Four Continents.

Second-order True Persons often reside within the Great Salty Sea.

While Divinity Transformation Venerables govern the Four Heavenly Worlds, preside over the Eight Seas, and command the Nine Mountains.

This is the layout of Wuhe Immortal Sect's mountain gate in Zone 8.

The sect's Old Ancestor, Xu Ning, spent three thousand years moving countless stars and setting up billions of arrays, finally creating a grand mountain gate array.

Its name is—

Small Sumeru Right and Left Nine Palace Immortal Formation!

...

The central Sumeru Mountain.

The mountain stretches straight upward without a single curve, lush with fragrant wood. Protruding from its four sides are four massive ridges, each housing the palaces of the Four Heavenly Kings. At the mountain's base lies pure golden sands.

The mountain boasts upper, middle, and lower 'Seven Treasures Stairs,' with paths flanked on both sides by seven layers of treasure walls, seven layers of balustrades, seven layers of nets, and seven layers of trees. Its doors, walls, windows, rails, and trees are all crafted from gold, silver, crystal, and glazed glass. Flowers and fruits flourish, fragrant winds swirl, and countless exotic birds sing harmoniously.

Unlike the illusory scenes of the old Sumeru Immortal Sect, this place feels far more tangible.

Chen Jichuan sits cross-legged atop the mountain peak in the Old Ancestor Hall, his mana circulating. Within his consciousness sea, his Primordial Spirit grows, already reaching nine feet and nine inches tall.

The cultivation process during the Divinity Transformation stage begins with the Heavenly Human Realm, achieving unity with heaven and man, expanding the consciousness sea, and strengthening the Divine Soul. Once the consciousness sea reaches its limit and the Divine Soul becomes thoroughly robust, the Primordial Spirit naturally forms, marking the second realm of Divinity Transformation—

Primordial Unity Realm.

In the Primordial Unity Realm, cultivators continuously understand the heavens, study the Great Dao, and nurture their Primordial Spirit through the resonance of heavenly and earthly energies.

Initially standing a mere inch tall,

it steadily grows until it reaches ten feet high.

At that point, one can ascend into the third realm of the Primordial Spirit—

"Divine Separation Realm!"

Sitting cross-legged with eyes shut, Chen Jichuan focuses entirely on breaking through to this realm.

Three thousand years of effort.

Fifteen hundred years of arduous cultivation.

Chen Jichuan has spent an untold amount of wealth, steadily increasing his cultivation level.

From his early achievement of Heavenly Human Realm peak on Ten Wheel Star, he soon ascended into the Primordial Unity Realm.

Step by step, he climbed higher—

Primordial Unity Realm First Layer.

Primordial Unity Realm Second Layer.

Primordial Unity Realm Third Layer.

...

With a steady supply of pills,

numerous secret elixirs, and assistance from treasured grounds, Chen Jichuan's progress was relatively swift.

On average, he advanced one layer every two hundred years.

Eight hundred years ago, he had already reached the peak of the Primordial Unity Realm.

But after eight centuries of accumulation, spending countless Primordial Stones, and enduring repeated attempts to break through, he still couldn't achieve success.

Until today—

"Clear Spirit Incense."

"Sky Blue Divine Sand."

"Dust Forgetting Treasure Jade."

"Vast Origin Meditation Cushion."

"Four Pillars Guardian Immortal Formation."

"Mysterious Ice Misty Clear Void Spirit Liquid."

"Qianyuan Body Heaven Heart Shining God Treasure Mirror!"

Sitting on the 'Vast Origin Meditation Cushion,' Chen Jichuan lights a sprig of 'Clear Spirit Incense.' He scatters 'Sky Blue Divine Sand' around himself, sets up the 'Four Pillars Guardian Immortal Formation' using four divine pillars surrounding him, adheres the 'Dust Forgetting Treasure Jade' to his brow, and positions the 'Qianyuan Body Heaven Heart Shining God Treasure Mirror' above his head.

One by one, Chen Jichuan deploys treasures invaluable to Divine Separation Realm powerhouses and crucial for breakthroughs and cultivation in general.

Each individual treasure could significantly support breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

Even Great Powers in Divine Transformation would benefit greatly from them.

Take, for instance, the 'Vast Origin Meditation Cushion.'

Created from 'Millions of Years Warm Jade' born under extreme light conditions, it helps cultivators understand and assimilate into the heavens, thereby improving their cultivation and enlightenment.

Then there's the 'Four Pillars Guardian Immortal Formation.' A treasure of astonishing value, this formation safeguards the Primordial Spirit, enabling cultivators to attempt breakthroughs without displaying exhaustion.

The 'Qianyuan Body Heaven Heart Shining God Treasure Mirror' reflects the Primordial Spirit, giving cultivators deeper insights into Divine Souls and Primordial Spirits, allowing seamless breakthroughs and cultivation.

Each of these treasures,

a single piece of which is worth over ten million Primordial Stones,

is desperately sought after by cultivators in the third realm, even rarer among those in the fourth realm.

Chen Jichuan spent his three thousand years leveraging his connections to assemble them all.

Recently, the arrival of both 'Clear Spirit Incense' and 'Mysterious Ice Misty Clear Void Spirit Liquid' completed his collection. After days of preparation, Chen Jichuan secluded himself today, determined to make a full attempt to break through to Divinity Transformation Third Realm.

The Mysterious Skill circulates.

Mana surges.

Within his consciousness sea, a Divine Monarch White Tiger envelops his Primordial Spirit and roars at the sky, its reverberations shaking the entire sea.

With the aid of various treasures, Chen Jichuan's mind remains clear.

Unwaveringly focused, he interacts with the heavens and comprehends the fabric of the world. The lingering coolness from the 'Mysterious Ice Misty Clear Void Spirit Liquid' inspires his insights and nourishes his Primordial Spirit.

The Primordial Spirit flickers.

As if on the verge of breaking free from its constraints.

The White Tiger Divine Monarch draws on mana, surrounding itself with Sword Qi. It slashes through the consciousness sea, hacking at the chains encircling the Primordial Spirit, as if to sever every shackle restraining it.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Clatter! Clatter!

Sword Qi hums; chains rattle.

Chen Jichuan takes another handful of 'Phase Pills,' their medicinal power transforming into billowing Primordial Qi, which the Divine Soul in his consciousness sea devours mouthful by mouthful.

Time seems to fade.

Chen Jichuan has forgotten he's attempting a breakthrough, forgotten that he's cultivating. His mind finds peace as instinct guides his actions. Entirely absorbed, he resonates with the heavens as he feels their rhythm.

Like harp and zither,

each harmonizing with the other, evoking solace.

The melody begins soft, light, and serene, escalating to bold fervor. When it reaches its crescendo, the resonance transforms into an intense chorus of clashing swords and thundering hooves, carving melodies through icebound rivers—an ode to chaos and triumph.

As sounds of resonance intertwine and reach their zenith—

"Boom!"

With an earth-shattering roar, as if heaven and earth split apart.

Clatter! Clatter!

The chains binding the Primordial Spirit break as if shattering in an instant, fully severed.

Examining the Primordial Spirit again,

it is entirely unbound, its height surging upward, exceeding nine feet and nine inches—

"Primordial Spirit—ten feet tall."

"Divinity Transformation Third Realm, achieved!"

"Divine Separation Realm!"

"It's finally done!"

Chen Jichuan's heart fills with joy.

Three thousand years have passed in a blink.

In this life, Chen Jichuan has cultivated for two thousand two hundred and forty-one years.

"Already exceeding the total cultivation of my previous six lives combined."

In the Starry Sky World, across six prior lives, Chen Jichuan had only cultivated a little over two thousand years.

This life has surpassed the others by over two hundred years.

Truly a long journey.

He reached True Person status at the age of one hundred.

Broke into Divinity Transformation at three hundred.

Achieved the second realm of Divinity Transformation at one thousand six hundred forty.

And now,

at four thousand four hundred and forty years old, he has ascended to the third realm of Divinity Transformation.

"From mortal to Divinity Transformation took one hundred forty-one years."

"The first realm of Divinity Transformation took seven hundred years."

"The second realm of Divinity Transformation took one thousand four hundred years."

"And finally, the third realm today."

Reflecting on the years, Chen Jichuan feels both the joy of reaching Divine Separation Realm and the heaviness in his heart.

Heavenly Human to Primordial Unity: seven hundred years.

Primordial Unity to Divine Separation: one thousand four hundred years.

"How many years will it take to advance from Divine Separation to Divine Transformation?"

Chen Jichuan shakes his head.

He finds it hard to imagine.

It could be two thousand years, or maybe three thousand years. Perhaps, in this lifetime, he won't even reach the fourth realm.

"The lifespan of a Divinity Transformation cultivator is five thousand years."

"I've already consumed nearly half."

With only three thousand years of lifespan remaining, breaking through both Divine Separation and Divine Transformation, reaching the fourth-order, seems overwhelmingly difficult.

A murky hope.

"I can only give my utmost effort."

"Do what is humanly possible, and leave the rest to fate."

Chen Jichuan has already experienced the hardship of cultivating through the first two realms of Divinity Transformation, spending countless Primordial Stones to achieve his current speed.

Beyond this point,

he honestly lacks confidence.

Compared to other cultivators at the Divine Separation Realm, his age still counts as relatively young. This is the advantage of relentless resource consumption, courtesy of his substantial wealth. Even though achieving the fourth-order might be unattainable in this lifetime, reaching the fourth realm of Divinity Transformation remains a possibility for him.

"Achieving the fourth realm in this life."

"In the next life, or perhaps the one after, the fourth-order above Divinity Transformation may also come within reach."

Chen Jichuan maintains a calm mindset.

Where other cultivators at the Divinity Transformation stage race against time, focusing only on their current lifespan, Chen Jichuan's perspective stretches across multiple lifetimes, granting him a measure of composure.

Beyond cultivation,

a cultivator must also earn resources, study spells to protect their Dao, and prepare magical treasures to ward off demons.

Various mundane affairs inevitably distract one's focus, yet they cannot be ignored.

Chen Jichuan similarly divides his attention elsewhere.

However, his advantage lies in mastering 'Creation·Derivation,' which provides optimized pill recipes, simplifying resource acquisition efforts.

Not only can he personally refine pills and accumulate Primordial Stones,

but also rely on Gan Chen within his Fire Dragon Immortal Banner—a figure whose Alchemy Dao skills surpass Chen Jichuan's, earning Primordial Stones far beyond him.

Not limited to his own efforts.

Not limited to Gan Chen.

Over the years, Chen Jichuan has also focused on managing Wuhe Immortal Sect.

Three thousand years ago, he arrived at Ten Wheel Star.

Four hundred years later, cultivators from Wuhe Star in Zone 9, including second-order True Persons and Divinity Transformation Venerables, followed in pursuit.

Every three to four hundred years, new groups arrived in succession.

Their numbers attracted too much attention.

Chen Jichuan decided to select a concealed site deep within the starry sky near Ten Wheel Star.

Plucking stars and grasping moons...

He continued building, constructing arrays.

His second Primordial Spirit, created from Pure Yang Immortal Lotus, spent these years residing at the Sumeru Immortal Sect's mountain gate, meticulously studying the 'Small Sumeru Right and Left Nine Palace Immortal Formation.'

Meanwhile, Chen Jichuan's main body kept experimenting.

Miraculously, he managed to replicate it.
