Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 598 - 461 White Dove Daoist School is established, soaring into the sky! [3rd update, ask for monthly tickets!]
"Impressive!"
"Truly impressive!"
In the White Dove Territory, deep within a mountain, Bo Yin, Xue Gu, and Chen Jichuan gathered together, watching as a copper mirror spun sorrowfully in the air before descending before them.
Regret flickered in all three of their eyes.
It was indeed a shame not to witness the battle between the two True Immortals.
"The one who struck last, that was a Daoist True Immortal."
Bo Yin caressed the mottled copper mirror, his heart aching somewhat.
The moment that True Immortal appeared, their aura swept through the winds and flames. Using a secret treasure, he had observed the battle in the White Dove Territory from afar, only to have the treasure disrupted, even impacted by a counterforce that damaged the copper mirror in his hand.
But he recognized them: "It was the Qianming Palace Master!"
Daoist True Immortals appear rarely, so much so that many Upper Immortals never see one in their entire lives. Yet Bo Yin, being part of the Daoist sect, was somewhat familiar with a number of them.
He barely identified the ’Qianming Palace Master.’
"The Qianming Palace Master achieved Dao later than the Black Vulture Demon, but the former is a Daoist True Immortal, whereas the latter is merely a Demon Dao Independent Immortal. They’re simply not on the same level."
"The Black Vulture Emperor is destined to lose."
Xue Gu also recognized this, holding firm confidence in the Qianming Palace Master’s strength: "The ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ can hold their own against the Black Vulture Demon, but faced with any Daoist True Immortal, their chances of survival would be slim."
"After all, they’re only Upper Immortals, no matter how strong they are. The ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ have already reached remarkable heights."
Bo Yin shook his head and said.
The three of them hadn’t managed to make their way to Xuanyang Mountain this time, but with the help of the copper mirror in Bo Yin’s hand, they were still able to catch glimpses of the battle there.
The grandeur of the ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ battling a True Immortal unfolded before their eyes.
In Bo Yin’s heart, there was admiration.
"’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong!"
"’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi!"
Bo Yin put away the copper mirror, sighing, "If those two had participated in the Dayan Victory Conference back then, the first ranking in the Heavenly Ladder Realm would undoubtedly have been theirs. Though Liangqiu was formidable and armed with an Immortal Artifact, in the Upper Immortal Realm, they were still no match for the Black Vulture Demon."
If the ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ had attended the Dayan Victory Conference, there wouldn’t have been any opportunity for Liangqiu. And without securing the first ranking in the Heavenly Ladder Realm, they wouldn’t have entered the ’Dayan Chessboard,’ and Liangqiu would never have proven Dao as a True Immortal.
"If Liangqiu True Immortal were to see this battle, they would definitely feel fortunate."
Xue Gu chimed in in agreement.
Though she was certain the ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ were no match for any Daoist True Immortal, this battle still deeply impressed her. For Fourth-order Upper Immortals to display such combat power, to render a True Immortal Demon like the Black Vulture Emperor helpless—even if the two never proved Dao in their lifetimes, their lives would still be brilliant and worthwhile.
"Indeed!"
"Those two are truly exceptional!"
Chen Jichuan chimed in with praise as well. In truth, he was very satisfied with how the battle had unfolded.
Two avatars battling a True Immortal, entangled for an extended period, and even managing to retreat effortlessly—this gave him a sharper understanding of his own strength.
The once insurmountable aura of True Immortal Great Powers no longer felt as daunting.
Fear stems from the unknown.
Once one actually contends with a True Immortal—even a weaker one—even if one stands no chance of victory, or barely has a moment to counter—in itself, it is still a rare and valuable experience.
From this battle, he had gained tremendous insights.
"The Black Vulture Emperor primarily cultivates a ’corruption’-type Cultivation Technique and Dao, wielding the ’Heavenly Filth Gourd.’ Even without employing that final Formation Formation, the might they displayed was already no less than that of their Divine Skill, ’Black Ice Flame.’"
From this battle, Chen Jichuan realized the critical importance of Divine Skills.
Even for True Immortals.
Without a Divine Skill that aligns with their being, or without achieving profound mastery, their combat strength would be significantly limited.
At least for a True Immortal like the Black Vulture Emperor, there have been instances throughout history where extraordinarily powerful Upper Immortals have been able to contend with them.
But this wouldn’t be the case for Daoist True Immortals.
Daoist True Immortals possess Divine Skills, and not just one. Even sect Chiefs like Shen Mo and Liu Hechuan can practice them, let alone True Immortals within the sect.
With Divine Skills that align perfectly with their being, the combat strength of Daoist True Immortals is beyond imagination.
Chen Jichuan felt certain, neither blindly arrogant nor unduly self-effacing.
"Next, the ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ will feign injury to draw the attention of the Barbaric demons. Meanwhile, I’ll focus on stabilizing the Daoist School in the White Dove Territory, then pull back and depart once everything is set."
But since he now knew the strength of these two avatars, there was no reason to let them go to waste: "They can barely hold their own against comparatively weaker True Immortals. With this level of power, they can traverse Shenzhou and beyond, venturing into various dangerous places and Secret Realms to explore. After all, they’re merely two avatars; even if they fall in battle, it won’t impact me much. It’s certainly more cost-effective than the Dharma Domain Avatars of True Immortal Great Powers."
Powerful in combat.
Fearless of death.
These avatars were immensely well-suited for exploring treacherous and mysterious locations.
After the Daoist School is fully established, he’ll return to the Golden Wind Mountain and Sea to claim the position of Daoist Chief. Then, his true body will delve into Dao cultivation within the Daoist sect, while his two perfect avatars continuously roam, seeking opportunities. However, one avatar must also remain dedicated to alchemy, artifact refining, and slaying demons to accumulate resources necessary for cultivating Divine Skills. As a result, the second perfect combat power would be difficult to sustain long-term and could only be deployed occasionally.
Chen Jichuan’s eighty-one avatars were akin to eighty-one interconnected pools of water.
The total volume of water in these pools was fixed, determined by Chen Jichuan’s cultivation level and mastery over the ’Avatar Technique.’
But how much water went into each individual pool could be adjusted at will.
Take this occasion as an example.
Chen Jichuan drained the water from seventy-nine of the pools, leaving them empty, and poured all the water into just two pools, filling them to the brim.
