Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 572 - 448 Zhangg True Inheritor ’Zhou Yan’!_2

Humans can suppress demons.

Immortals can overcome devils.

This is inseparable from the contributions of those silent Upper Immortals.

"Let’s not mention these things."

Meng Qing interrupted, pulling the mood back to the matter at hand, and took out a scroll of golden book, saying, "This is the True Inheritances Exchange Catalog. It lists various treasures, pills, magical tools, and cultivation techniques. Since you’ve just advanced as a True Inheritor, you can choose treasures with a total value of five hundred Fang Yuan Crystals. Every century thereafter, you’ll receive ten Fang Yuan Crystals worth of cultivation resources."

"Five hundred Fang Yuan Crystals?"

Chen Jichuan received the golden book Meng Qing handed over, sighing inwardly once again.

The benefits of being a True Inheritor of the Daoist sect were indeed astonishing.

In Chongming World, the wealth of an average Fourth-order Second Realm Upper Immortal was merely around one hundred Fang Yuan Crystals. But in Yiyuan Dao Sect, upon becoming a True Inheritor, you were granted benefits worth five hundred Fang Yuan Crystals at once. Moreover, every century came with an additional ten Fang Yuan Crystals worth of resources.

The Daoist sect spared no effort in nurturing True Inheritors.

"Everyone claims True Inheritances are extraordinary, and indeed, this is no lie."

Chen Jichuan sighed inwardly and then opened the golden book.

The catalog before him was dazzling and comprehensive. It covered not only pills, magical tools, cultivation techniques, and magic but also all kinds of rare resources.

Three Immortal Pills were considered ordinary.

Fourth-order Magical Treasures were deemed commonplace.

Various cultivation techniques and magic were too numerous to count, leaving one dazzled.

However, Chen Jichuan wasn’t particularly interested in cultivation techniques, magic, magical tools, or ordinary pills; he focused on rare treasures and medicinal items that could help him comprehend the Five Elements Realm.

Carefully leafing through, he did find quite a few.

Each one was a rare treasure, making it hard to decide.

"No rush."

"This catalog contains an abundance of treasures. Junior Brother, you can take it back, slowly review it, and carefully consider your options."

Hann Jueming spoke while also pulling out another golden book, handing it to Chen Jichuan, saying, "This records the Dao Sect secret realms accessible to True Inheritors, detailing the specifics of each secret realm, including the conditions, durations, and other details for entry by True Inheritors. Some are suited for comprehending magic, some for cultivation techniques, some for tempering the physical body, and others for understanding the Heaven and Earth Dao. Junior Brother, take your time reviewing it and plan accordingly. With the help of these secret realms and the five hundred Fang Yuan Crystals worth of resources, there’s hope for a significant boost in strength within a short period."

Resources.

Secret Realms.

The benefits of being a Dao Sect True Inheritor indeed far exceeded those of ordinary disciples.

After all, the entire Yiyuan Dao Sect only had three hundred sixty-five True Inheritor seats, with the sect pouring abundant resources into nurturing them.

Even if one advanced to True Inheritor at five thousand years of age, from the initial five hundred Fang Yuan Crystals to the ten Fang Yuan Crystals granted every century, until relinquishing the title at thirty-six thousand years of age.

Over time, a single True Inheritor would consume resources worth three thousand six hundred Fang Yuan Crystals.

And this doesn’t even account for the secret realms.

"One True Inheritor, three thousand six hundred Fang Yuan Crystals."

"Three hundred sixty-five True Inheritors in the Dao Sect, that’s one hundred thirty-one million Fang Yuan Crystals."

"Over thirty thousand years, investing over a million Fang Yuan Crystals in True Inheritors—what a grand gesture."

But Chen Jichuan also understood, "No matter the investment, even if it’s millions or tens of millions of Fang Yuan Crystals, if it can lead to the ascension of one True Immortal, it’s entirely worth it."

True Immortal!

This is the true force that elevates the Dao Sect’s influence and shapes the entire Shenzhou’s situation.

"True Immortal."

"Only the True Immortal."

Reading through the two golden books, Chen Jichuan felt even more confident about ascending to True Immortal.

...

Having advanced as a True Inheritor, with resources and secret realms at his disposal, his strength could further increase.

At this time, choosing to venture outside seemed odd.

Thus, Chen Jichuan decided to stay within the sect for cultivation.

A few days later.

Chen Jichuan once again arrived at the True Inheriting Hall.

"Yuan Gui True Water."

"Mountain Returning Plate."

"Posuo Wanxiang Lotus."

"Great Five Elements Outer Divine Stone."

Meng Qing glanced at Chen Jichuan, surprised and doubtful: "These are all treasures for aiding enlightenment. Junior Brother, you’ve just reached Upper Immortal, and your Three Treasures of Essence Qi, Mana, and Spirit have yet to fully consolidate. Rushing to comprehend realms will surely lead to doubling the effort for half the result."

Meng Qing saw it clearly—these treasures were all geared toward comprehending the Dao.

For instance, ’Yuan Gui True Water,’ which contained the True Water Realm, was quite helpful for comprehending Water Skill.

Also, the ’Posuo Wanxiang Lotus,’ a lotus with twenty-four petal leaves, where consuming each petal enhanced affinity with the Heaven and Earth Dao and sharpened perception. With increased clarity for three months, a moment of enlightenment might save one from decades or centuries of pondering within a cave.

Usually, such treasures were used by Fourth Realm Peak cultivators for their practice.

Just the lotus alone was valued at three hundred twenty Fang Yuan Crystals.

But to Meng Qing, using such treasures at Chen Jichuan’s current state seemed wasteful. It would be better to exchange them for pills that enhanced mana or items that boosted Daoist skills, enabling a faster climb to Fourth Realm Peak—and only then focusing on comprehending Dao realms.

"Senior Brother doesn’t know."

"I advance my cultivation as easily as drinking water; these treasures are of no use to me. I merely need pills that increase mana."

"Otherwise, these Yuan Crystals are just sitting there unused anyway."

Chen Jichuan said to Meng Qing with an apologetic look.

"..."

"..."

Meng Qing froze, stunned for a moment before blinking and rising: "Wait here, I’ll get your exchange."

Turning away.

He couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself, "This brat!"

Chen Jichuan sighed helplessly. This Senior Brother was too earnest, having guided his cultivation several times even during his Divinity Transformation. Now that Chen had advanced to Fourth Order, his Senior Brother continued to advise him. Left with no choice, Chen Jichuan had to be candid about his unique cultivation rhythm, putting an end to future nagging.

As the saying goes—

"Geniuses really are unreasonable!"

Meng Qing returned with ’Yuan Gui True Water’ and other enlightenment treasures, pushing them into Chen Jichuan’s hands while grumbling mock complaints, deliberately teasing.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother, take care."

Chen Jichuan happily received the treasures, bowed respectfully to Meng Qing, and left cheerfully.

"Ah, delightful."

Meng Qing watched Chen Jichuan leave with satisfaction, his face smiling but tinged with faint bewilderment and dejection.

His junior brother was full of vigor, much like the rising sun.

Yet Meng Qing, at thirty-nine thousand years of age and nearing his limit, had yet to glimpse the threshold of True Immortal. Endlessly circling in the Enlightenment Realm, he felt a pang of melancholy.

"It seems decades of secluded mountain gate cultivation haven’t worked. Time is running short, and I can’t keep proceeding so slowly."

Meng Qing, having spent three thousand years within the sect, was finally stirred to act by his junior brother’s indomitable spirit, deciding to venture out in search of enlightenment.

True Immortal was a difficult pursuit.

It had obstructed countless heroes.

Even Meng Qing and Shen Mo were left to arduously chase this goal. True Immortal achievements had no set formula; whether through stillness or movement, they remained in pursuit.

Caught within, one could not see the path ahead.

...

Leaving the True Inheriting Hall.

Chen Jichuan did not return to his cave but instead headed straight to the Dao Sect secret realm known as ’Purgatory Mountain.’

The Dao Sect boasted numerous secret realms of various types.

This ’Purgatory Mountain’ prominently showcased the Five Elements Dao and was an excellent place for cultivating Five Elements Techniques. Moreover, it housed Five Elements Purgatory Demons, who were innately adept at wielding the Five Elements for forging combat techniques or studying their manipulation.

Killing these Purgatory Demons produced ’Five Elements Crystal Jade,’ which, like ’Yuan Gui True Water,’ greatly aided comprehension of the Five Elements Realm.

"As a True Inheritor, I can cultivate within ’Purgatory Mountain’ for a total of one hundred years. At my current stage of Inner Realm, I shouldn’t be here yet. Waiting until Fourth-order Fourth Realm or even Fourth-order Peak Enlightenment Realm is more suitable."

"But my advancement to the Fourth Realm won’t take long. Once I reach it, I’ll challenge for the Chief Seat. By then, I’ll secure a peak in top secret realms like the ’Enlightenment Twelve Peaks.’ As for ordinary enlightenment realms like ’Purgatory Mountain,’ they’ll be mine to freely access."

"Why not use it now?"

"Consider it an early exercise of Chief Seat privileges."

Secret realms were precious.

Even for Dao Sect True Inheritors, the total time or frequency one could enter these realms over thirty thousand years was limited.

For example, ’Purgatory Mountain.’

A True Inheritor could spend up to a total of one hundred years within.

No restrictions on the number of entries.

No restrictions on the specific times.

But cumulatively, one could not exceed one hundred years.

The same applied to many other secret realms.

Some restricted total durations, while others limited total entry counts.

Many True Inheritors who lacked confidence in competing for the Chief Seat or achieving it within a short timeframe would economize their time and opportunities in the realms, saving them for their Third Realm or Fourth Realm stages.

But Chen Jichuan had no such need.

He was confident that cycling through each of these secret realms would secure the Chief Seat.
