Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

"Wuhe!"

"Listen to my explanation—"

The Five Poison Saintess and Jiao Venerable, who originally wanted to resist and explain, were frozen on the spot.

"Shatter!"

Chen Jichuan pointed at the Five Poison Saintess—

Crack!

The icy layer on the latter broke instantly, and she shattered entirely into powder.

"Go!"

Chen Jichuan flicked his finger, and a flame appeared.

In the alternation of hot and cold.

The just-formed Primordial Spirit of the Five Poison Saintess was frozen to powder, her three souls and seven spirits destroyed, leaving no chance for rebirth or body seizing.

The Five Poison Saintess, dead!

…

Casually annihilating a Divinity Transformation Second Realm cultivator.

Nearby, Jiao Venerable was still frozen, unable to move, even his thoughts seemed to be sluggishly frozen in a cold pool.

But seeing this scene, seeing the Five Poison Saintess unable to show any means before being shattered by Chen Jichuan, terror inevitably surged in his heart, and fear showed in his pupils.

Chen Jichuan aimed to intimidate.

He took out the newly refined 'Ten Thousand Demon List', unfolded the scroll, and said to Jiao Venerable: "Surrender your Primordial Spirit honestly, and I shall spare your life!"

No need for more words.

With the death of the Five Poison Saintess before him, Jiao Venerable didn't hesitate and followed Chen Jichuan's command, offering his Primordial Spirit Origin, imprinting it onto the 'Ten Thousand Demon List'.

With this.

The first Divinity Transformation was established in the 'Ten Thousand Demon List'.

…

"Alas!"

"Why must it come to this!"

Chen Jichuan sighed.

Panlong Mountain had been peaceful for thousands of years, with nine Divinity Transformations coexisting peacefully. Having just attained Divinity Transformation, he had slain one and subdued another, which was not his wish.

But unfortunately.

Even without causing trouble, trouble still came knocking.

"I had no choice but to kill for intimidation, to kill to stop evil."

Chen Jichuan put away the scroll, glanced at Jiao Venerable who looked deathly pale, and scolded: "Act cautiously in the future, and I might set you free sooner or later."

The Ten Thousand Demon List could imprison and enslave the Demon Race.

But the emphasis was on 'imprison'.

As for 'enslave'.

It relied on the deterrence brought by controlling life and death, freedom.

Using 'life and death' as a threat.

'Freedom' as hope.

Fearless in driving them.

"Yes!"

Jiao Venerable, wanting to survive, dared not act rashly and obediently complied.

Seeing this, Chen Jichuan nodded, then captured him into the 'Ten Thousand Demon List'. Then, with a thought, brought a frozen block in front of him. Inside the ice, a toad like white jade was wide-eyed, seemingly witnessing something incredible, in shock.

This was the recently emerged Second-order Peak Great Demon from the Cold Nether Swamp—

The White Jade Cold Toad.

"Do you wish to surrender to me?"

Chen Jichuan looked at the White Jade Cold Toad.

The latter was fully frozen, even struggling to move its eyes.

But Chen Jichuan had deliberately let it see the death of the Five Poison Saintess and the submission of Jiao Venerable, leaving the White Jade Cold Toad unable to refuse, quickly showing willing eyes and then offering its Divine Soul Origin, becoming the second Demon Race in the 'Ten Thousand Demon List'.

"Second-order peak."

"With a little enlightenment, it can be promoted to Divinity Transformation!"

Chen Jichuan put away the 'Ten Thousand Demon List', feeling a bit pleased.

Next.

He moved tirelessly around the five regions of Panlong Mountain, capturing over a hundred unique Great Demons. All of them were carefully chosen good candidates from inquiries over the years.

Among them, Second-order Peak made up thirty percent.

Chen Jichuan planned to select nine from among them, cultivate them into Divinity Transformations, then send them along with Jiao Venerable into the Mysterious Realm for exploration.

"While exploring the Mysterious Realm."

"While searching for Spiritual Medicine for my cultivation."

"While continuing to seek refining materials to craft Magical Treasures, and make a new 'Ten Thousand Demon List'."

"By then."

"With the Monster Life Chart and endless demons recorded, there's no way a mere Mysterious Realm could trap us!"

Chen Jichuan was determined: "I refuse to believe that even with ten or a hundred Divinity Transformations exploring together, they could be trapped by the Mysterious Realm!"

…

From this year onward.

Chen Jichuan continued to cultivate Divinity Transformation Old Demons, continuously sending them into the external Mysterious Realm.

Time passed like water.

Twelve years passed in a flash.

On this day.

Dragon Tail Domain, Toad Mountain.

"Ten Divinity Transformations exploring for twelve years."

"Twenty Divinity Transformations exploring for eight years."

"Yet no progress at all!"

After listening to the reports of White Jade Cold Toad and Iron Crown Flying Eagle, and viewing the recorded images, Chen Jichuan frowned slightly.

Twelve years passed.

Initially having only one 'Ten Thousand Demon List', with just ten Divinity Transformations.

Progress in the exploration of the Mysterious Realm was minimal, finding no clues.

By the fourth year.

Having gathered the materials for a second 'Ten Thousand Demon List', Chen Jichuan crafted treasures, recruited demons, and refined them all in one go, gaining another ten Divinity Transformations.

They were also sent into the Mysterious Realm.

Eight more years passed.

This time there was no significant progress in the Mysterious Realm, and not even the materials for the third 'Ten Thousand Demon List' were gathered.

"At first, I hoped they would find the way to penetrate the Mysterious Realm."

"Now it seems, it was too simple-minded."

Chen Jichuan shook his head.

After twelve years of exploration, he realized that relying solely on these newly promoted Divinity Transformations wouldn't cut it, unless we could assemble an unimaginable number, say a hundred or two hundred Divinity Transformations, to flood the Mysterious Realm and explore in carpet style, perhaps there would be hope to solve the Mysterious Realm.

But Panlong Mountain's resources were limited.

Resources in the Mysterious Realm also depend on luck.

Chen Jichuan collected all the Third-order refining materials from Wul Ming and others back then to assemble materials for one 'Ten Thousand Demon List'.

Later, ten Divinity Transformation Old Demons explored the Mysterious Realm for four years to gather the materials for the second one.

And now.

Another eight years passed, yet the third one has not come together.

"Two hundred Divinity Transformations."

"Twenty charts."

"Who knows how long it will take to gather these!"

Chen Jichuan wasn't overly hopeful.

Fortunately, he always adhered to the principle of 'self-reliance rather than relying on others,' with all this in mind, he had a plan: "In these twelve years, ten or twenty Divinity Transformations constantly traversed and explored the Mysterious Realm. Although the results were minimal, they were still clues. With my Fifth Layer 'Najia Divination Method,' I cannot yet calculate it. But if I cultivate it to the Sixth Layer, then carefully and repeatedly deduce using these clues, maybe I could decipher the mysteries of the Mysterious Realm!"

Facing the challenge of the Mysterious Realm.

The assault of Divinity Transformation is one aspect.

The deduction with Magic is the second.

Dual strategy.

As time continues, Chen Jichuan enslaves more Divinity Transformations, mastering more clues about the Mysterious Realm, and his mastery of the 'Najia Divination Method' grows—

"I don't believe the Mysterious Realm can't be conquered!"

Chen Jichuan remained confident.

…

In the Dao Fruit World.

Vast starry sky.

The original Sumeru Immortal Sect Mountain Gate, where the 'Small Sumeru Right and Left Nine Palace Immortal Formation' was located, within the Seven Treasures Pond.

Chen Jichuan sat cross-legged, unknown how long had passed.

The aura around him kept rising, reaching the peak of Divinity Transformation.

The Eight Dharma Water in the Seven Treasures Pond was rapidly depleting, nearing the bottom.

"Hoo!"

When his cultivation reached the limit, the Eight Dharma Water was exhausted.

Chen Jichuan exhaled deeply, opened his eyes, and stopped his practice.

In the real world, more than twelve years have passed.

In this world, five thousand years passed in an instant.

At this moment, Chen Jichuan was already white-haired, his second life's vitality in the Starry Sky World nearing its end.

"Five thousand years."

"I originally thought there was a great chance to break through to the Fourth-order in this life, but it turns out my lifespan was exhausted, still trapped at the peak of Divinity Transformation."

Chen Jichuan was elderly and feeble, but his eyes remained bright.

This life.

Still began on Wuhe Star.

With all sorts of Spiritual Medicine prepared in the previous life, and not holding back Source Power in the early stages, Chen Jichuan's cultivation progressed rapidly in this life.

He advanced to Qi Refinement in two years.

Reached Enlightenment in eight years.

At the age of forty-six, he once again achieved Divinity Transformation, four years faster than in reality.

After advancing to Divinity Transformation.

The cultivation continued to accelerate.

Heavenly Human Realm in two hundred years.

Primordial Unity Realm in four hundred years.

Divine Separation Realm in eight hundred years.

At the age of one thousand four hundred forty-six, he broke through to the Divinity Transformation Fourth Realm.

Remarkably fast.

Even considering that Chen Jichuan deliberately controlled and carefully experienced the details of cultivation. If he aimed solely for speed, this process could potentially be reduced to two or three hundred years.

After advancing to the Divine Transformation Realm.

Chen Jichuan consumed the leftover 'Qilin Treasure Medicine' from the previous life, reaching the peak once again.

Up till now, he had been practicing diligently for three thousand five hundred years.

Time has flown by.

For three thousand five hundred years, diligent cultivation, observing the Dao, comprehending the patterns of heaven and earth, aiming to perfect the inner world, so that it seamlessly aligns with the outer world, thereby forming the 'Inner Realm'.

But this step was profoundly mysterious.

Elusive.

Incomprehensible.

With only an extremely vague direction, and even the uncertainty of the correctness of this direction, he could only move forward step by step.

Continuous enlightenment.

Constant trial and error.

Constant adjustments.

This required insight, luck, and a lot of time.

Insight was elusive and mysterious.

Difficult to quantify.

Not something that could be improved through day-to-day accumulation.

Like students and scientists from his past life.

During school days, the gap in achievements between top students and underachievers might have been influenced by factors like interest, personality, concentration, learning methods, etc.

But among the same type of scientists, there's a difference between the top and ordinary.

They were all top students, focused, interested, and had no lack of methods, yet some had high achievements and some had low.

This was likely the difference in insight and talent.

Chen Jichuan relied on extraordinary concentration, past life experiences, and other cultivators' Dao Fruit to lay a solid foundation, surpassing the ordinary of the same level to a large extent.

This, in a way, became Chen Jichuan's advantage.

Allowing him to reach a conventional standard in cultivation of the same level, making up for the lack in talents.

But breaking through to the Fourth-order, ordinary wasn't enough, upper wasn't enough, even top wasn't enough.

In the vast starry sky.

Throughout history, those who could achieve the Fourth-order were always rare.

Like in the last hundred thousand years.

The gigantic Golden River Domain, known for a breakthrough to the Fourth-order and ascending in daylight, only had 'East River Fairy', Xiao Lan, as one.

One in a hundred thousand years.

Even if Chen Jichuan had excellent insight, excellent luck, it wasn't his turn to break through.

There were a million Divinity Transformations in the starry sky.

And those more talented, with higher insights and luck than him numbered in the thousands.

"My greatest advantage lies in time!"

There are geniuses in the world.

And there are ordinary people.

Chen Jichuan did not dwell on this, understanding where his advantage lay: "Devoted to cultivation, with time accumulated, I'll eventually reach the other shore."

Diligence can make up for lack.

This is exactly the principle.

"In my previous life, I stayed at the peak of Divinity Transformation for two thousand six hundred and fifty-one years."

"In this life, I stayed for three thousand five hundred years again."

"Combined, it's over six thousand years."

"But much of that time was spent fortifying the foundation."

"For instance, in the previous life, just after reaching the Divine Separation Realm, I immediately rose to the peak of Divinity Transformation by consuming a 'Qilin Treasure Medicine', like a building in the air, with a shallow realm of Daoist practice."

"Requiring a large amount of time and energy to make up for it."

"The same goes for this life."

"I painstakingly fortified the foundation of the first three realms of Divinity Transformation, carefully practicing and experiencing to make them more solid."

"Yet in the end, I still used 'Qilin Treasure Medicine'."
