Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 603 - 463: Target: Infiltrate the True Immortal Squad!
After Chen Jichuan became the chief, he took residence in one of the peaks.
"Enlightenment Peak."
"This place is indeed more vibrant and yet heavy with its energy."
With a slight sense, Chen Jichuan could discern the distinctiveness of Enlightenment Peak from other places. The peak he resided on was splendid, lush, and the scenery delightful.
Walking through the mountain, he felt somewhat ethereal.
Chen Jichuan walked to the mountainside, entered his cave residence, activated the formation, and began his cultivation on Enlightenment Peak.
The Dayan Victory Conference ended eleven hundred years ago.
The benefits he gained from the ’Dayan Chessboard’ had been fully absorbed by Chen Jichuan during this time. His Daoist path had made great strides, and his understanding of the ’Five Elements Realm’ had deepened significantly, incomparable to his previous life. Compared to when he first listened to the East River Palace Master lecture on the Dao, he had also made substantial progress.
If measured by the three-thousand-mile road he saw when consulting the East River Palace Master back then, Chen Jichuan was roughly at two thousand five hundred miles during the Chongming World. By the time he participated in the ’Dayan Victory Conference,’ he had already reached over four thousand miles. After traversing the ’Dayan Chessboard,’ he had traveled over ten thousand miles, approximately twelve thousand miles or so.
During this period, his path continued to widen.
After the Victory Conference, another thousand years of integration, his path continued to forge ahead.
"I have now walked about sixteen thousand miles."
Of course, the fastest progress was in the ’Dayan Chessboard,’ but even after coming out, his progress was not slow. Over a millennium, he walked another four thousand miles, exceeding his accumulation in the Chongming World.
But by the time he challenged the Twelve Peaks and established the Daoist School, the phase of rapid Daoist advancement had passed, and the accumulation from the ’Dayan Chessboard’ was nearly exhausted.
This was also a significant factor for Chen Jichuan in choosing to establish the Daoist School and strive for the chief position.
"Sixteen thousand miles."
"I wonder when it will end."
Chen Jichuan did not know either, he could only move forward, progressing continuously. He hoped that one day, he could reach the limit of the Fourth-order, see the threshold of a True Immortal clearly, and take that step across.
He believed that day was not far.
...
Time passed.
After becoming the chief, the rhythm of Chen Jichuan was like during the True Inheritance stage, entering a new phase of secluded cultivation.
Day and night, he studied the Dao on Enlightenment Peak, and practiced Divine Skills.
Occasionally stepping out, it was only to visit the Book Collection Pavilion to read various classics, gain insights, and accumulate knowledge.
It seemed he would not step out without proving as a True Immortal.
However, as the chief, he had more resources to enjoy.
Like Enlightenment Peak.
Like True Immortal lectures.
Like Three-Autumn Jade Liquid.
These were things difficult for a True Inheritor to access.
In the past, as a True Inheritor, one could receive the resource of Ten Directions Essence Crystal every hundred years. After becoming chief, Daoist investment was even greater. Every three thousand years, not only a drop of ’Three-Autumn Jade Liquid.’ but every two thousand years, a pound of source jade for cultivation was also granted.
Spirit Stones in the world are divided into four classes and five grades.
The lowest class is the miscellaneous standard Spirit Stones.
The fourth class is Spirit Crystal.
The third class is Primordial Stone.
The second class is Spirit Crystal.
The first class is called ’source jade.’
This is a supreme Spirit Stone derived from the Heaven and Earth Origin, containing the Heaven and Earth Origin, making cultivation seem as aided by heaven. But source jade is hidden in the core of the world, even Upper Immortals find it hard to locate. Only True Immortals can approach the origin and find traces of source jade veins.
"Source jade contains a strand of origin power, not only can it be used to restore and grow mana, but it also has a nurturing and strengthening effect on the Divine Soul."
"If Upper Immortals can use ’source jade’ for cultivation over the long term, and regularly nurture the Divine Soul, they will have a deeper foundation."
Moreover, ’source jade’ is also helpful for enlightenment.
This is what True Immortals use regularly in cultivation, incomparable to Spirit Crystals. It’s easy to exchange source jade for Spirit Crystals, but the reverse is difficult.
Like ’Three-Autumn Jade Liquid,’ there is fundamentally no channel for exchange.
"Source jade."
"Three-Autumn Jade Liquid."
Daoist sects are almost cultivating the chief as a True Immortal reservist, and Chen Jichuan had already appreciated the benefits of this.
Refining ’source jade’ to nurture the Divine Soul, consuming ’Three-Autumn Jade Liquid’ to comprehend the great Dao. Additionally, there are many Enlightenment Treasures, Treasure Medicines for enlightenment, available for chiefs to exchange freely, progressing rapidly in their study of the Dao.
However, the latter does not come without effort, as it requires merits, and fulfilling tasks assigned by the Daoist sect.
Chen Jichuan was unwilling to go out.
He first relied on his old merit, using the three thousand merits from the reward of establishing the ’White Dove Daoist School’ to exchange for many Enlightenment Treasures at the level of ’Posuo Wanxiang Lotus’ for daily cultivation from the Daoist School.
And there were several Enlightenment Treasures gifted by several Daoist True Immortals during the Dayan Victory Conference initially.
’Miao Hua Parasol Fruit,’ ’Yin Yang Qi Stone,’ ’Five-color Green Cloud Bamboo,’ ’Ming Saint Pill,’ these are all higher-level Enlightenment Treasures compared to ’Posuo Wanxiang Lotus’ and ’Primordial Heart Fruit,’ each valued at two to three thousand Spirit Crystals. In the first millennium, Chen Jichuan had been digesting the gains from the ’Dayan Chessboard’ and had not yet used these treasures. Now that he became the chief, he could arrange and use them wisely.
Having also received three drops of ’Three-Autumn Jade Liquid’ upon becoming the chief, this would suffice for his cultivation for at least one to two thousand years in the short term.
But to remain vigilant in times of peace.
Even if Chen Jichuan was quite confident in proving as a True Immortal, he did not dare assert that he could achieve it in one or two thousand years, so simply relying on current resources was not permissible, more preparations had to be made.
"It’s better that my true self doesn’t wander around unnecessarily."
"If these treasures are used up and I have yet to prove the Dao, I can always offer one or two Divine Skills to the Daoist sect. First, to repay the kindness of the Daoist sect, and second, to exchange for more resources for cultivation and enlightenment."
Chen Jichuan possessed many Divine Skills. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
His own signature Divine Skills were not to be passed on carelessly, to avoid being specifically targeted, but the incomplete Divine Skills he acquired in the Chongming World could easily be offered to the Daoist sect under some pretext.
