Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

"Guiding Golden Light."

The golden light descended, and Chen Jichuan felt a tightness enveloping him. The space transformed, and he found himself in a mansion. In front of him, radiating golden light.

"This is—"

Chen Jichuan felt a thought surge into the golden light, and in an instant, a torrent flowed into his mindsea. Looking inward, the golden light floated within the mindsea, manifesting a gleaming Glazed Tower, wavering like reality.

"Is this the preliminary control over the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower?"

Chen Jichuan was slightly surprised.

In the Chengtian Battlefield, aside from him, there were three others left, including Immortal Wan Ming. He originally thought there would be a test for the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, but unexpectedly, he directly became the owner of this immortal treasure.

Upon careful reflection, Chen Jichuan realized, "I see. Among those who remained, the one who grasped 'Summoning Wind and Rain' the most deeply gains the greatest benefit. If one stops at the Third or Fourth Realm, they may only receive partial gifts from Tuota Venerable. To obtain the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, one must reach the Fifth Realm."

Chen Jichuan's eyes glowed brightly.

To cultivate a Super-level Technique from scratch to the Fifth Realm within a century is rare even in the Chongming Realm. But Tuota Venerable, though proud and aloof, had his schemes before his death. Even if rare, he sought potential successors. Only those who can cultivate 'Summoning Wind and Rain' to the Fifth Realm within a century have a chance to surpass him. In achieving godhood, they may leave a legacy, providing a chance for his reincarnation and return to the Immortal Path when their divine skills mature.

"Even a Venerate cannot escape the erosion of time. After death, one must leave a way back, hoping for a faint chance of life beyond reincarnation."

Chen Jichuan thought of Granny Gan. She had fallen into his hands, willingly allowed herself to be used, hoping for revival. Unfortunately, she misjudged Chen Jichuan, rendering her efforts in vain.

His thoughts sank into his mindsea, falling into the phantasmal image of the tower.

Tuota Venerable left much information within, encompassing his many insights into cultivation and speaking of various secrets of the Chongming Spirit Realm.

Though Chen Jichuan had cultivated for over twenty thousand years in this life, he often stayed indoors and, without enough cultivation, couldn't reach Nine Heavens, making him far less knowledgeable about the Chongming Spirit Realm compared to Tuota Venerable.

The numerous secrets made Chen Jichuan's brow twitch, sometimes furrowing, sometimes relaxing, a myriad of thoughts stirring his heart.

"There's such trickery!"

"With this, transcending the Chongming Realm to ascend to the Lingkong Immortal Realm becomes extraordinarily difficult."

"Fortunately, I can't ascend, so I needn't worry about it."

Chen Jichuan's thoughts flickered, then pressed down again. Tuota Venerable, in his life, was a Fourth-order Fourth Realm. Many of the secrets he left pertain to the Nine Heavens, the Immortal Sect, and ascension. For Chen Jichuan, currently just a Fourth-order First Realm, such matters remain distant and need not be considered now.

Averting his thoughts, he let his mind fall into the golden light and immediately saw, at the core of the Second Layer of the tower, where once the pool was clear, the water shimmering, an endlessly vast pool appeared. Immortal Wan Ming, Eight-Armed Immortal, Golden Line Divine Lady were in the pool, immersed in bliss, with waves of life-force continuously pouring into their immortal bodies, healing various hidden injuries and dark scars accumulated over ten thousand years of cultivation and battles.

Fourth-order Immortals have a lifespan of forty-eight thousand years. In theory, each Immortal could live to the end of their lifespan barring sudden death. But their experiences differ, and improper cultivation or battle scars can affect their life expectancy. Many Immortals in the Chongming Realm are engaged in strife, and few live to their life's end.

"Some Immortals maintain themselves well, living forty-seven to forty-eight thousand years. Others, damaged in body and soul, may live only twenty to thirty thousand years."

Immortal Wan Ming and the others did not harm themselves, but each inevitably had some hidden wounds, shortening their lifespan by one to three or even five thousand years. Now, soaking in the Second Layer's pool, these hidden wounds were slowly being healed by the abundant life force, and their life force was gradually restored to fullness.

"The Nine Treasures Glazed Tower consists of nine layers, each with its own mystery: Prologue, Soldier, Battle, Person, All, Array, Arrange, Ahead, Walk. The second layer focuses on life force."

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tower was crafted by 'Tuota Venerable', who searched throughout the Four Directions Heaven and Ten Heavens, adventured in the Immortal Sect, contended with many heresies, seeking exotic treasures. He then refined them with his own 'Glazed Body' as the foundation, integrating them into the Nine Layers Immortal Light. Once he attained the Venerable status, he absorbed immortal energy from outside the Nine Heavens of Chongming Realm, thereby completing the 'Immortal Treasure'. Before he passed, he thoroughly melted his 'Glazed Body' and 'Nine Layers Immortal Light' into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, further enhancing its power.

The tower, after countless years of submergence, accumulated enormous power, capable of aiding its inheritor in cultivation and defense, far superior to the damaged 'Purple Mansion Immortal Gourd'.

Even though Immortal Wan Ming and the other three couldn't cultivate 'Summoning Wind and Rain' to the Fifth Realm and inherit the tower, they could still receive considerable benefits within it.

For instance, at this moment, they were replenishing their life force in the Second Layer's pool, a rare opportunity even scouring the entire Chongming Realm couldn't provide.

However, they could only enjoy it once, whereas Chen Jichuan, having already mastered the entire tower, could easily control it now despite not having refined it yet.

If others were in that pool, he would have removed them from the tower early, but as Wan Ming and the other three were from the same sect, with a close relationship, Chen Jichuan wasn't heartless and didn't rush to drive them away.

Half a month later, when the three Immortals had fully restored their life force and could no longer absorb it, Chen Jichuan willed them to be removed from the pool, teleported them out, and simultaneously took the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower into his mindsea.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Only to see the void tremble, the divine treasure tower, once spanning the void, vanished entirely. In the vast void, Chen Jichuan alone fell.

"Wind tight, hurry along!"

Having obtained the tower but leaking his presence, Chen Jichuan didn't linger. Mana surged, he pointed, and the void split. Without hesitation, he leaped into the turbulent void stream.

"Don't run!"

"Leave the immortal treasure!"

But just as Chen Jichuan's figure disappeared, beams of light and immortal light rained down.

But how shrewd is Chen Jichuan?

As soon as he appeared, he fled immediately, vanishing in an instant.

Yet even so, the beams and immortal light tried to maintain the void rift Chen Jichuan tore open—

Swoosh!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Soon, beams of escaping light flashed, diving into the void, among them a vague trace of Heavenly Venerate powers.

Among these, one sword light shone the brightest, like bone-chilling cold, cutting a path through the Upper Immortals, entering the void rift.

"Such impressive Sword Immortal!"

One of the Upper Immortals showed shock, feeling a coldness at the neck, reaching out to touch, blood on hand. This Upper Immortal's glow flashed and trembled, precisely an Eight-Pattern Immortal. To have his defense broken in a single encounter was truly horrifying. Had it been a frontal attack, he might not die, but would certainly be heavily injured, shattering his hope of becoming an immortal.

Not only this Empty Immortal, but dozens of Upper Immortals in the path of the sword light felt as if plunged into an ice cave, more or less bearing blood marks, fear evident in their eyes.

One Immortal's brow twitched, looking where the sword light vanished, guessing the person's identity: "That's the one who, a hundred and sixteen years ago, ascended to Nine Heavens, sweeping through the Eight Immortal Domains!"

For a moment, the void was silent!

...

"This is going to be difficult!"

Chen Jichuan transformed into wind and thunder, shuttling through void turbulence, dodging and avoiding deadly streams. Dull light shone from his body, internally the 'Three-in-One Indestructible Golden Light Body Protection Technique,' activated, while the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower in his mindsea radiated light, Glazed Immortal Light enshrouding him.

This immortal treasure, infused with Tuota Venerable's lifelong efforts, excels in both battle and escape, making its defense top-tier. Even among numerous Fourth-order immortal treasures in the Chongming Realm, its reputation stands out. Once this treasure is fully refined, even though Chen Jichuan remains in the Three-Pattern Realm, he might be able to exchange a few moves with a Heavenly Venerate of Nine Heavens.

But at present, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower was just acquired and could only be roughly utilized, requiring time to be thoroughly refined for proper usage. For now, in the face of a Heavenly Venerate, it is far from enough.

Moreover, those pursuing him for the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower include more than one Heavenly Venerate.

The Immortal Fourth-order Four Realms, one realm, one Heaven.

In the First Realm, internal scenery, after achieving Triple Immortal Light, the 'Qi Origin Technique' manifests, pushing open a portal, releasing 'Qi Yuan,' leading to a surge in mana and stepping into the Second Realm.

In the Second Realm, external scenery, upon achieving Sixfold Immortal Light, the 'Essence Origin Method' manifests, opening a portal to release 'Essence Yuan,' forging the physical body, stepping into the Third Realm.

In the Third Realm, Dharma Body, here 'Essence' and 'Qi' are abundant, with continuous nourishment from 'Qi Yuan' and 'Essence Yuan' in two portals, the Dharma Body starts to form. With Ninefold Immortal Light enhancing, the 'Divine Origin Skill' manifests, after opening it, 'Divine Essence' flows down, the Divine Soul stabilizes, completing the spirit.

"After Ninefold Immortal Light and Triple Portals, it reaches Fourth-order Four Realms."

"Fourth Realm Great Power boasts full spirit, nearly limitless mana, indestructible physical body, and eternal Divine Soul. After countless refinements, it's far beyond what ordinary Upper Immortals can contend with."

Understanding the gap between himself and Fourth Realm Great Powers, Chen Jichuan dared not entangle.

For over a hundred years, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower had surfaced, and the Chengtian Battlefield endured for a century; many Venerates had come to know it. Previously, Chen Jichuan may have been unsure whether a Heavenly Venerate from Nine Heavens would act for an immortal treasure. But after obtaining the treasure, through Tuota Venerable's information, he understood its unique significance to Venerates.

"Immortal Treasure."

"Immortal Essence."

"Worldly Treasure Raft."

Chen Jichuan, with his head down, kept fleeing, contemplating countermeasures.

Behind him, strong auras swept forward; he dared not hold back, employing every last ability he possessed—

Wind Thunder All Heavens Great Escape!

Three-in-One Indestructible Golden Light Body Protection Technique!

Guiyuan Hiding Method!

Nine Doubts Skill!

Escape, defense, conceal, hide.

Chen Jichuan sequentially deployed four Great Methods, pushing his speed to the utmost. In the Star Constellation Sea for two thousand years, he had cultivated the 'Wind Thunder All Heavens Great Escape' to the pinnacle of Super-level, reaching the seventh realm, having unmatched speed in the Upper Immortal Realm, impossible to be caught by a Heavenly Venerate for some time. Also possessing concealment techniques to obscure his presence, his figure flickered unpredictably within the void.

Not only that, Chen Jichuan also familiarized himself with and communicated with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower within his mindsea, drawing on part of its power—

"Soldier!"

"Arrange!"

The Second Layer of the tower churned, life force surged, constantly mending the bodily tears caused by Chen Jichuan's extreme escape methods. The Seventh Layer of the tower empowered him; the 'Arrange' character technique shattered all obstacles ahead, manipulating space-time, allowing Chen Jichuan to maneuver effortlessly in the void.

His speed continued to rise, and the path to survival seemed just ahead.

Suddenly, Chen Jichuan felt a disturbance, and from the unseen void, a sudden rainbow light appeared, striking down—

Clang~

There was no time to dodge; the rainbow light hit Chen Jichuan's forehead, causing stars to flash in his eyes, leaving him staggering, and he tumbled to the ground. In the next instant, the rainbow light surged, transforming into six dragons and serpents, grasping Chen Jichuan's head, limbs, and torso, binding his spirit, leaving him unable to struggle free.

The rainbow light circled, about to carry Chen Jichuan away.
