Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

"This person—"

Chen Jichuan looked at the man and recalled, "Nine Tribulations Independent Immortal of the Immortal Vine Clan—Qu Can!"

Back then, he joined forces with Xiao Lan and the Ten Star Lords to storm Qilin Mountain. Aside from the Ten Tribulations Independent Immortal Mo Yanzhen, the Immortal Vine Clan also had a Nine-Transformation Great Power and a Nine Tribulations Independent Immortal.

The man in the image who destroyed the Qilin Mountain Continent was none other than the Nine Tribulations Independent Immortal known as 'Qu Can.'

"He must have returned to Qilin Mountain long ago but lingered outside the starry sky, waiting for me to emerge, intending to reclaim the 'Qilin Treasure Medicine.'"

"Unfortunately, patience wasn't his forte."

Qu Can waited for half a month. Seeing no movement from Chen Jichuan, he grew impatient. With one strike, he shattered the void, attempting to forcibly drive Chen Jichuan out.

But alas.

That sword strike, aside from destroying the Qilin Mountain Continent that the Immortal Vine Clan had nurtured for countless years, achieved no other results.

Chen Jichuan had long gone offline.

No matter if he shattered a void or exterminated the entire starry world, he would never emerge.

"East River!"

"Ten Star Lords!"

Qu Can roared with fury.

Amid his skyward howl, his divine sword rose high, utterly obliterating Qilin Mountain Continent into fragments scattered across the cosmos.

Then turning his blade, he charged toward the starry sky.

Unable to corner Chen Jichuan.

He dared not delay and headed to aid Mo Yanzhen in reclaiming the 'Qilin Immortal Bone.'

...

"At the time, Xiao Lan had already ascended to the Fourth Order. With the 'Qilin Immortal Bone' in hand, there was no reason to relinquish it."

"Mo Yanzhen and Qu Can are likely chasing in vain."

Watching the Qilin Mountain Continent crumble and dissipate and Qu Can's figure vanish, Chen Jichuan waved his hand to dismiss the image, no longer paying attention.

As for Xiao Lan's safety, Chen Jichuan was not concerned.

A Ten Tribulations Independent Immortal might still face threats from the Independent Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, potentially resulting in death.

But Xiao Lan, as a Fourth-Order Great Power, was invincible under the starry sky—no one could kill her.

"Fourth-Order beings can stay in this world for no more than five hundred years."

"At this moment, Xiao Lan's true self must have ascended."

"The avatar cannot undergo Soldier Dissolution. Whether she ultimately achieved the Fourth Order or not, she cannot exist here anymore."

Chen Jichuan sighed softly.

He still had four of Xiao Lan's magical treasures that hadn't been returned, which left him feeling a bit regretful.

But there was no choice.

He couldn't possibly chase her to the Upper Realm, so he had to hold onto them for now.

Glancing around.

Sure enough, there were no Immortal Vine Clan members lying in wait. Chen Jichuan proceeded freely, picking a direction and setting off on his own.

A thousand and two hundred years had passed.

Chen Jichuan was highly curious about the developments in the starry world.

Particularly regarding the Immortal Vine Clan, the Ten Star Lords, Xiao Lan, and Wuhe Immortal Sect.

But above all, Chen Jichuan cared most about his own cultivation.

"No matter the others."

"First find a place for secluded cultivation, consume this 'Qilin Treasure Medicine,' and push my cultivation to the peak of Divinity Transformation!"

Once he reached the peak of Divinity Transformation, he would face no more threats in the starry sky, and by then, exploring the changes of the last one thousand and two hundred years in the starry world would not be too late.

...

Time flows like water.

A hundred years passed in a blink.

In the twinkling of an eye, it had already been one thousand and three hundred years since the Qilin Mountain battle that shook the starry skies.

Back then.

The famed 'East River Fairy' of the Golden Radiance River Domain joined forces with the 'Fire Lotus Fairy' and the Ten Star Lords of Ten Wheel Star from the Jiulong River System to launch an attack on the Immortal Vine Clan's ancestral land, Qilin Mountain.

That battle was earth-shattering.

Even the Qilin Continent, which the Immortal Vine Clan had cultivated for countless years, was shattered.

The Immortal Vine Clan suffered devastating losses—

The Ten Star Lords obliterated nine Divinity Transformation experts, including seven from the Third Realm and two from the Fourth Realm. Then, they gracefully withdrew, vanishing into the horizon.

East River Fairy and Fire Lotus Fairy joined forces to battle against the three supreme existences of the Immortal Vine Clan.

The Nine Tribulations Independent Immortal, Qu Can.

The Nine-Transformation Great Power, Luo He.

Both were gravely injured and rescued by the Immortal Vine Ancestor Mo Yanzhen before retreating in humiliation.

That battle finally came to an end.

In the following thousand years.

The East River Fairy disappeared without a trace, and the world knew she must have ascended to the Upper Realm.

Fire Lotus Fairy also vanished.

Some speculated she had ascended as well, while others believed she had failed to achieve the Fourth Order, succumbed to her life's end, and dissolved into an Independent Immortal, hiding in some unknown corner.

The two fairies who had once suppressed the Immortal Vine Clan had both disappeared.

And the Immortal Vine Clan similarly descended into silence.

With no 'Qilin Immortal Bone' and no 'Qilin Treasure Medicine,' the Immortal Vine Clan could no longer produce peak Divinity Transformation experts at a constant rate.

As for their former three supreme existences—

Qu Can, as a Nine Tribulations Independent Immortal, was gravely injured by the East River Fairy and Fire Lotus Fairy and likely could not survive the Tenth Tribulation.

Luo He, who was at the peak of Divinity Transformation, failed to break through and dissolved into an Independent Immortal. Currently at the first or second tribulation, he posed little threat.

Mo Yanzhen, originally a Ten Tribulations Independent Immortal, remained inactive and likely failed his tribulation.

In just over a thousand years.

The Immortal Vine Clan's three supreme existences had died or faded into obscurity, marking the decline of the once-dominant clan.

In stark contrast.

The Ten Star Lords, who had played a pivotal role in the Qilin Mountain battle a millennium ago, were rapidly rising.

They had briefly disappeared for four hundred years.

When they reappeared, they had passed the Eighth Tribulation of Independent Immortal and ascended to Eight Tribulations Independent Immortals.

Now, another nine hundred years had passed.

The Ninth Tribulation was imminent.

Ten Eight Tribulations Independent Immortals, within a century, may very well become Ten Nine Tribulations Independent Immortals. Their presence was immensely intimidating and influential, extending far beyond the bounds of the Jiulong River System.

The name of the Ten Star Lords.

Had spread across the entire Golden Radiance River Domain.

...

On this day.

Chen Jichuan returned to the Jiulong River System, arriving at Zone 8 and approaching the outskirts of Ten Wheel Star.

He witnessed the increasingly prosperous Ten Wheel Star and felt a sense of surrealism.

"Ten suns crossing the skies."

"Dominating the Star Sea."

"Ten Wheel Star, abandoned for four hundred years, has become even more flourishing after nine hundred years of development."

Returning to a familiar place, Chen Jichuan felt a surge of emotion.

Back when he, alongside Xiao Lan and the Ten Star Lords, set out for Qilin Mountain, he had only recently ascended to the Third Realm of Divinity Transformation.

Now, upon his return.

He was already a Fourth Realm of Divinity Transformation and a Primordial Spirit Ninth Transformation Star Sea Great Power.

"Divinity Transformation Fourth Realm."

"Primordial Spirit Ninth Transformation."

"One 'Qilin Treasure Medicine,' directly elevating me to the peak."

Chen Jichuan was in high spirits.

He had left the starry sky for one thousand two hundred years and had been in it for one hundred years.

A hundred years ago, he consumed a 'Qilin Treasure Medicine.'

Within a century, his Primordial Spirit grew and improved ceaselessly.

A century later, he had already reached the peak of Divinity Transformation and become a supreme power in the Star Sea.

The fateful turns of life are indeed miraculous.

One moment he was worried about ascending to Divine Transformation.

The next, he had already reached the pinnacle.

This is one of the reasons countless Divinity Transformation practitioners roam the starry skies—

Who knows when fortune will strike, sending them soaring.

Take Chen Jichuan, for example.

"Whether it's the 'Qilin Immortal Bone' or the 'Qilin Treasure Medicine,' both are supreme treasures of the Immortal Vine Clan."

"The Immortal Vine Clan cultivated Qilin Mountain and deployed the 'Twenty-four Flower Evil God Gang Immortal Formation,' which even top-tier Grandmasters specializing in breaking formations would struggle against."

"Like myself."

"I possess the 'Insight Skill,' capable of discerning the weaknesses of arrays and exploiting their flaws, but entering alone, even if I decipher the formations, I wouldn't be able to break them. I would likely be discovered and obliterated by the lead Divinity Transformation expert before reaching the Immortal Vine Ancestral Land."

Back then, the key to breaking into Qilin Mountain and entering the Ancestral Land was undoubtedly Chen Jichuan's 'Insight Skill.'

The second was the distractions from the Ten Star Lords and Xiao Lan's true form and avatar, entangling the Immortal Vine Clan's Divinity Transformation experts.

The third equally crucial factor was the 'Ten Thousand Monster Record.'

"Within the Immortal Vine Ancestral Land, countless obstacles barred the way. There was also the combination of the 'Twenty-four Flower Evil God Gang Immortal Formation' and the indiscriminate 'Beast God Seven Kills – Beast God Roar.' Avoidance was impossible."

"If not for Xiao Lan's 'Ten Thousand Monster Record,' from which eighty-two Divinity Transformation demons sacrificed themselves to break through and defend, I wouldn't have reached the vicinity of the 'Qilin Immortal Bone' and obtained the 'Qilin Treasure Medicine.'"

Chen Jichuan's Insight Skill guided them.

A Fourth-Order Great Power led the charge.

A Ninth-Transformation avatar assisted.

The Ten Star Lords cooperated and held their own against the Nine Tribulations Independent Immortal.

Additionally, the sacrifice of eighty-two Divinity Transformation demons from the Ten Thousand Monster Record barely allowed them to glimpse the 'Qilin Immortal Bone.'

And even then, it was only a glimpse.

If not for Chen Jichuan's 'Daluo Heavenly Sleeve,' the treasures might have remained out of reach despite being right before them.

Such was the might of the Immortal Vine Clan.

And the hellish difficulty of seizing the 'Qilin Immortal Bone' and 'Qilin Treasure Medicine.'

"Fortunate indeed."

"That I managed to succeed!"

Feeling his cultivation, Chen Jichuan brimmed with confidence.

Arriving outside Ten Wheel Star, he stood tall, and with a resonant voice declared, "Old friend Xu Ning, I am here to pay my respects to the Star Lords!"

His voice rang clear, yet none of the Divinity Transformation experts entering or exiting Ten Wheel Star could hear it.

The sound converged into a single force, blooming only deep within Ten Wheel Star.

As the words echoed.

Swish!

Three figures simultaneously appeared within Ten Wheel Star.

One had a refined appearance.

One bore a wide mouth.

And one strode barefoot.

The last three Star Lords among the Ten Star Lords: Shui De Star Lord, Wind Thunder Star Lord, and Red Feet Star Lord.

"Three Star Lords, since parting at Qilin Mountain, it's been a long time."

Chen Jichuan smiled warmly at the trio.

...

"Daoist Xu!"

"It's been over a thousand years, and I didn't expect to see you again today."

The three Star Lords welcomed Chen Jichuan into Ten Wheel Star, where the Red Feet Star Lord gazed at him with wide eyes, his face showing traces of amazement.

Wind Thunder Star Lord and Shui De Star Lord also flashed intrigued expressions.

One thousand three hundred years had passed.

And Chen Jichuan had disappeared for one thousand three hundred years.

The Ten Star Lords knew that Chen Jichuan had obtained the 'Qilin Treasure Medicine' in the Immortal Vine Ancestral Land and had speculated extensively.

They guessed he might have consumed the 'Qilin Treasure Medicine,' ascended to the peak of Divinity Transformation, and concealed himself to prepare for dissolving into an Independent Immortal.

They guessed he might have been hunted by the Immortal Vine Clan and dared not show himself.

They guessed he might have been hunted to death by the Immortal Vine Clan and no longer existed in the world.

Others speculated he might have teleported too far away with Big Movement, either losing his way or traveling too far to return within any foreseeable time.

Over the years, the Ten Star Lords had gradually stopped discussing the events of the past.

Yet here suddenly was Chen Jichuan.

However, everything had changed since then.

Back then, their camaraderie with Chen Jichuan was more out of respect for East River Fairy and Fire Lotus Fairy.

Although, they had indeed reaped great rewards.

Times, however, have shifted.

Now, both the 'East River Fairy' and 'Fire Lotus Fairy' were no longer present in the starry sky.

And as for Chen Jichuan, who formerly could barely contend with Second and Third Tribulation Independent Immortals, having obtained the 'Qilin Treasure Medicine,' his current cultivation level was apparent—
