Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 588 - 456 Zhangg Tianjiao chimu, tuō qī xiàn zǐ!

Over two thousand years ago, Shi Ze joined the sect.

Over a thousand years ago, Zhou Yan joined the sect.

This time, it is a young junior sister.

The East River Palace Master recruits disciples without fixed rules. If he encounters someone suitable and is in a good mood, he may accept them. However, it is quite rare for him to take on three Direct Transmission disciples consecutively within the last two thousand years.

Chen Jichuan looked at this junior sister.

"This is junior sister ’Jiang Qingxing.’"

"Junior Sister Qingxing is eighteen hundred years old this year. On the day she ascended to Upper Immortal, she successfully passed through the Third Peak of Trial Sword Peak."

Shi Ze introduced this junior sister to everyone, and then introduced Jiang Qingxing to her senior brothers and sisters.

"Senior Brother Liu."

"Senior Brother Bo."

"Senior Brother Wu."

"Senior Sister Xue."

"Senior Brother Zhou."

Jiang Qingxing greeted each one, demonstrating a cold and slow-to-warm personality, speaking little.

However, battle fanatics often carry such temperaments, so it was not surprising.

The group exchanged brief conversations, enough to acquaint themselves.

Before long.

The East River Palace Master appeared in the Fahua Palace.

...

Bowing heads.

Imparting techniques.

Bestowing treasures.

Still the usual routine.

But this time, the East River Palace Master did not leave directly. He turned to Chen Jichuan and said, "You have passed through the Twelve Peaks. Are you planning to establish a Daoist School in the Barbaric regions?"

"Yes," Chen Jichuan replied.

"Being able to become the Daoist Chief earlier is a good thing."

The East River Palace Master nodded, then added, "However, as you venture out this time, the demon side will undoubtedly make moves, so proceed with caution."

A thousand years ago, after the Dayan Victory Conference ended, Chen Jichuan claimed the top position in the Inner Realm. ’One Origin Zhou Yan’s’ ranking on the Immortal Slaying List had already surged to the thirteenth spot.

The entire realm contains countless demons just waiting for an opportunity to strike at him.

It was only because Chen Jichuan stayed secluded within the sect for a thousand years that these demons could do nothing but bide their time.

But this time, as he strives for the Daoist Chief position and is obligated to establish a Daoist School in the Barbaric regions—a sect rule that cannot be broken—once he steps out and leaves traces, the demons will surely respond in full force. With Zhou Yan’s reputation, numerous demons will attempt to end his life and sever his path to True Immortality. If given the chance, even True Immortal-level Demon Emperors may act.

The danger far exceeds that of the past peaks, such as Snow Valley and other True Transmission trials.

"Disciple will remain cautious."

Chen Jichuan understood the situation clearly.

If possible, he would prefer to sit quietly in his cave dwelling and steadily prove the Dao.

But clearly, that was an unrealistic wish.

The Dao requires striving.

The resources that come with being the Daoist Chief might be the last key to helping Chen Jichuan prove True Immortality. Leveraging the Enlightenment Twelve Peaks might even speed up the process of proving the Dao.

Since the opportunity was there, he had to try.

At worst, it was just a mortal life.

Besides—

"With my current cultivation, and my current Divine Skills, even if a True Immortal launches an attack, it may not be impossible to resist them,"

Chen Jichuan thought inwardly, harboring the desire to challenge a True Immortal.

Fighting against a True Immortal, witnessing their methods firsthand—it might provide inspiration or breakthroughs for his path of Enlightenment.

"True Immortal."

"Duel with a True Immortal."

"Perhaps this is the chance this time."

Plans began to take shape within Chen Jichuan’s heart.

The East River Palace Master was unaware of the schemes his disciple was cooking up—the audacious intention to confront someone like him, a True Immortal.

He stood at the head, waved his sleeve, and an emerald light descended, transforming into a jade talisman that landed before Chen Jichuan.

"This item is called ’Golden Wind Talisman.’ It contains a Golden Wind. In case of danger, you can activate it to summon the Golden Wind, disperse all obstructions, and escape without a trace."

[Talisman: Golden Wind Talisman]

[Level: Fifth-order]

[Description: Extracted from the ultimate treasure of the One Origin Dao Sect, the ’One Origin Golden Wind Bag,’ this talisman seals a strand of Golden Wind. A single strand of Golden Wind can cleave through mountains and seas. Wherever it blows, whether sand, stone, gold, or steel—it dissolves instantly, forming a smooth passage. Its speed rivaling arrows, unstoppable and fleeting as it courses through mountains and earth.]

...

"Golden Wind Talisman!"

Chen Jichuan took the jade talisman and bowed toward the East River Palace Master, saying, "Thank you, Master!"

With this Immortal Talisman in hand, he could rest assured when facing opponents in the Fourth-order realm. Even against some weaker True Immortals, he might be able to escape unscathed.

This Master devoted considerable effort to protect a disciple with True Immortal potential.

And it didn’t end there—

The East River Palace Master flicked his fingers, sending a point of spiritual light to land on the center of Chen Jichuan’s forehead, then said, "If you encounter powerful foes, after escaping using the Golden Wind Talisman, immediately chant this spell. It will summon the guidance of Golden Wind Mountain and Sea, quickly allowing you to return to the sect. However, do not use this in front of others to avoid disruption during the process."

The One Origin Dao Sect had operated countless mountain gates over the ages, with Golden Wind Mountain and Sea containing immeasurable divine power. Even Great Powers among True Immortals dared not trespass lightly.

The spell bestowed by the East River Palace Master tapped into a trace of Golden Wind Mountain and Sea’s power, providing a safe return. As long as one was within Shenzhou, they could make their way back.

However, this guidance was not entirely imperceptible nor easy. The chanting must be done in a secluded place, and activation required the absence of malicious interference.

Even so, it was a top-tier Secret Technique for survival.

Barring extreme circumstances like being relentlessly pursued or captured, in most cases, achieving even a brief escape would suffice for a safe return.

This spell paired with the Golden Wind Talisman was enough to ensure survival.

At the side—

The newly inducted Jiang Qingxing observed the East River Palace Master’s treatment of this senior brother, feeling a twinge of envy. To be protected by a True Immortal, voluntarily bestowed with a life-saving Immortal Talisman—such favor spoke volumes about the Master’s regard.

"They all say East River Zhou Yan has a chance at True Immortal, and it appears true indeed."

Jiang Qingxing thought to herself, a sense of rivalry stirring within. "Zhou Yan ascended to Upper Immortal at six hundred twenty years old, and three years later passed through the Fourth Peak to become a True Inheritor. I must not fall too far behind."

The young junior sister, stirred into determination.

Meanwhile—
