Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

It was night.

Chen Jichuan sat cross-legged in his cave abode as the surrounding scenes shifted endlessly. At times, thick mist obscured the path ahead; at others, clear skies revealed an azure expanse washed clean. Occasionally, cultivators could be seen soaring through the sky or darting across the earth, and at other times, giant ships and airships roared past, firing rounds into the distance.

The heavens, the oceans, the lands.

Cultivators, Magical Treasures, technology.

These scenes changed rapidly, revealing glimpses deep within the Mysterious Realm.

"Ninety-one years."

"Eleven Ten Thousand Demon Maps."

"One hundred and ten Divinity Transformation stage demon servants."

Since beginning his exploration of the Mysterious Realm after his first lifetime in the Starry Sky World concluded, nearly a century had passed. During this time, Chen Jichuan had successfully refined eleven Ten Thousand Demon Maps, enslaving a total of one hundred and ten demon servants. All were released into the Mysterious Realm, tasked with searching for cultivation resources for Chen Jichuan and exploring paths forward within the realm.

Over the past century, these demon servants had yielded many results. This included resources necessary for the cultivation of both Chen Jichuan and his younger brother, Chen Shaohu, as well as locations within the Mysterious Realm that resembled oases.

However, these locations were not the source of the Mysterious Realm but instead places like Panlong Mountain, which were similarly trapped within it, unable to find an exit. Some regions prospered in cultivation practices, boasting a number of Divinity Transformation stage cultivators, while others had entirely lost their Spiritual Energy, turning to technological advancements instead. Unfortunately, whether it was their ships or airships, all were subject to the constraints of the Mysterious Realm, unable to find hope.

What Chen Jichuan had encountered thus far was only a fraction, leaving him wholly unaware of how many similar trapped regions existed within the realm.

"Relying on the 'Ten Thousand Demon Map' to escape the Mysterious Realm is too difficult."

In this predicament, restricted by the 'Mysterious God Scroll,' relying on Divinity Transformation stage demon servants within the 'Ten Thousand Demon Map' to find an exit was clearly unrealistic.

But fortunately, Chen Jichuan had never pinned his hopes on this method.

"Recently, I successfully advanced to the Third Realm of Divinity Transformation, finally allowing me to refine my third Divine Separation."

Chen Jichuan had waited patiently and planned meticulously for this moment.

Now that his cultivation had reached the required stage, he did not hesitate.

"Hah!"

He flicked his fingers, and a drop of Essence Blood, accompanied by a trace of Divine Separation, fell in front of him. Suspended in the air, it swiftly transformed into a replica of Chen Jichuan, albeit with a weaker aura.

The Divine Splitting Technique!

This technique enables the division of thoughts, the partitioning of the Primordial Spirit, and the refinement of a Divine Separation—where, even if one perishes, the other survives.

After initially mastering this technique, Chen Jichuan had created his first Divine Separation, allowing him to simultaneously manage the reality world and Dao Fruit World, gaining significant advantages.

Now that he had advanced to the Divine Separation Stage in reality, he could refine another Divine Separation. His plans to personally explore the Mysterious Realm and seek out the Hanging Mirror Sea could finally be put into motion.

"Whether seeking a path of escape or pursuing cultivation goals, finding the 'Hanging Mirror Sea' is absolutely necessary. It is the source of the Mysterious Realm and the convergence point for numerous Divinity Transformation geniuses from regions like Panlong Mountain. It should provide the boost I need to elevate my cultivation even further."

Chen Jichuan, now one hundred and forty-one years old, had already reached the Third Realm of Divinity Transformation and Divine Separation Stage. Traveling to the 'Hanging Mirror Sea' would be effortless for him.

"To achieve Divinity Transformation before the age of three hundred, even if only the First Realm of Divinity Transformation, would fulfill the requirements set by the 'Mysterious God Scroll.' With my cultivation level, there should be no issue."

Chen Jichuan flicked his fingers again, releasing five decades' worth of accumulated 'Red Muddy Profound Mechanism' and a strand of 'Purple Pure Spirit Mechanism' into the newly formed physical body. Its Mana surged instantly, catching up to his original self in no time.

However, Chen Jichuan did not wait much longer. As soon as his cultivation had truly entered the Divinity Transformation Realm, he prepared to set forth into the Mysterious Realm to seek out the 'Hanging Mirror Sea.'

This day was not far off.

...

In reality, he ventured forward.

Chongming Realm, a fleeting century.

On this day, within the First Realm of 'Starry Sky' in the Four Directions Heaven and Rain Immortal Realm, Chen Jichuan opened his eyes. Before him, a paper crane landed, igniting in flames and transforming into a human figure. Bowing respectfully before Chen Jichuan, it addressed him as, "Teacher."

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Fire Cloud Immortal Sima Hanchuang, the eldest disciple under the White Tiger Immortal of the Mishen Island lineage of the Eight Extremes Holy Hall.

Sima Hanchuang was Chen Jichuan's first disciple to advance to the Fourth-order, having cultivated one of the Mishen Island lineage's True Inheritor scriptures, the 'Vermilion Bird Glaze Scripture,' excelling in wielding the 'Daluo Heavenly Fire.' He had achieved the rank of Upper Immortal sixteen thousand years ago and earned Chen Jichuan's trust.

After recuperating for a century within the 'Starry Sky,' Chen Jichuan first contacted this eminent disciple.

"How fares the Eight Extremes Holy Hall today?"

Chen Jichuan nodded slightly toward Sima Hanchuang before asking.

A century ago, he had fled in haste, swiftly retreating from the Ten Directions Heaven to the Four Directions Heaven within the Rain Immortal Realm to focus on healing his injuries. During this time, he communicated with Sima Hanchuang and others, instructing them to remain in hiding.

The Chongming Spirit Realm sprawls endlessly, with ten regions below and four heavens above. If the enormous Eight Extremes Holy Hall were to split apart and disperse, even the Nine Heavens Venerable would struggle to locate them.

However, over the past century, the once-glorious foundation of the Eight Extremes Holy Hall had fractured, its influence across the Star Constellation Sea swiftly dismantled. The vacuum left behind was eagerly filled by various factions, and rebuilding its mountain gates again would be no simple task.

"The Sect Leader Senior Uncle scattered the sect's disciples, and the senior uncles, junior disciples, and others have all gone into hiding. Teacher need not worry."

Sima Hanchuang replied respectfully.

In fact, even without Chen Jichuan's instructions, Immortal Wan Ming and others understood the gravity of the situation and had taken early measures to disperse and conceal the sect.

Ordinary disciples aside, among the sect's Upper Immortals, though seemingly implicated and reduced to dire straits, few felt resentment. Instead, most took pride in this connection and harbored anticipation.

Over the past century, news of Chen Jichuan seizing the Immortal Treasure 'Nine Treasures Glazed Tower' before numerous Upper Immortals and even under the watchful eyes of the two Venerables had spread widely.

The 'Wind Thunder Immortal' Qii Baihu had gained fame across the heavens and earth.

Figures like Immortal Wan Ming were not only happy for Chen Jichuan but also optimistic that, having obtained the 'Nine Treasures Glazed Tower,' he might rise swiftly and eventually provide some benefit to his fellow Upper Immortals within the sect.
