Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 611 - 467: Changshan Tower and Old Friends
Kuya Demon Lord attempted many times afterward, but all his efforts were in vain.
He continued his attempts to decipher the array while secretly capturing peak immortals across Shenzhou, poisoning and enslaving them to enter the cave to search for treasures for him.
Over forty thousand years, he indeed acquired many treasures.
But those treasures, while valuable to fourth-order immortals, were insignificant to a True Immortal like Kuya Demon Lord.
Magical Treasure.
Pill.
Source Jade.
Even ’Three-Autumn Jade Liquid’ and ’Tonghe Immortal Fruit’, these Enlightenment Treasures, didn’t greatly attract him.
Strange goods
Immortal Artifact.
Cultivation Technique.
Divine Skills.
That’s what he truly desired.
But to obtain such treasures from the ruins, an ordinary peak immortal wouldn’t suffice.
Only immortals like ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’, who could rival True Immortals, might achieve it.
Kuya Demon Lord had long been searching.
But such immortals were rare, sometimes taking seven or eight eras to encounter. He thought he would have to wait long, but the strong emergence of ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ gave Kuya Demon Lord hope.
Thus he extended his invitation.
But more importantly,
A thousand years ago, two other True Immortals discovered the ruins by chance. Though Kuya Demon Lord was not afraid of them, he could not overpower them.
His urgency now was due to the competition.
Otherwise, if the ’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi threatened him like this, Kuya Demon Lord would rather wait another seven or eight eras, or hundreds of thousands of years, than let this junior have his way.
But there was no choice.
Time waits for no one.
If he moved slowly, the most valuable treasure in the ruins might fall into the hands of those two True Immortals. Therefore, he tolerated all the insolence from ’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi, even pleading three times when Qizhenzi left.
"Qizhenzi can contend with True Immortals; the treasures he acquires from the ruins must be of immense value."
Kuya Demon Lord hoped in his heart.
He held Chen Jichuan in his palm, tearing through the skies, the Dharma Domain unfolded, drawing out the river of time, leaping across, traversing the starry sky.
Traveling billions of miles.
...
It wasn’t Chen Jichuan’s first time in the outer starry sky.
When he joined the ’Yuhuan Daoist School’, he had once ventured into the stars with three True Immortals. In the East Sea, for instance, he recently responded to the call of the Fire Mirror Daoist School’s Xiu Meng Ancestor to rescue his Dharma Domain Avatar in the outer starry sky.
Thus, Chen Jichuan had been to the outer starry sky.
But even having visited a few times, the outer starry sky remained unfamiliar and mysterious to him.
Following the three True Immortals of the ’Yuhuan Daoist School’ in his initial ventures, he experienced the vastness and desolation of the starry sky.
He saw the peril when rescuing the trapped Xiu Meng Ancestor.
"Vast."
"Desolate."
"Perilous."
"This is the outer starry sky."
"But in the outer starry sky, there are treasures and opportunities."
Chen Jichuan gained more understanding of the outer starry sky.
But what intrigued him even more was the method Kuya Demon Lord used to travel via the river of time.
"River of Time."
"This is the foundation of all ages, connecting the past and future, linking all time and space."
"Great Mahayana True Immortals, achieving enlightenment, comprehend the Great Dao, able to initially resist the erasure of the river of time, hence they are ageless. True Immortals, with immense divine skills, can leverage a sliver of the river of time’s power to traverse."
Standing on Kuya Demon Lord’s palm, Chen Jichuan saw that at the moment Kuya Demon Lord moved, the space around him became instantly blurred, neither audible nor visible, yet he sensed a mighty river rushing forward, overwhelming in its majesty.
This river surged and roared, spanning the vast universe, flowing across Shenzhou, the outer realms, and even beyond the starry sky.
Creatures.
Heaven and Earth.
All those with life spans in the billions, every life, every land, countless beings, in the river of time, all are drowning.
This river of time and the universe seemed on different levels.
One very shallow, at its most superficial layer.
The average person can see it.
But the river of time lay deeper, and even fourth-order immortals cannot sense it.
Even Great Mahayana True Immortals.
Like Black Vulture Emperor.
His Daoist attainment among True Immortals was very shallow, he couldn’t even sense the river of time’s existence, much less harness its power. Thus when challenged by ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’, he had to take three long years to return from the outer realm with his Dharma Domain Avatar.
Kuya Demon Lord’s Daoist attainment was undoubtedly deeper.
His insight into the Great Dao and Heaven and Earth was more profound, able to vaguely perceive the river of time and harness a trace of its power.
Though still rudimentary, still shallow, its power was unimaginable. Traveling via the river of time, the speed was incredibly fast.
"Opportunity!"
Chen Jichuan realized it was a rare experience.
He couldn’t see or hear, only strive to sense. He seemed to feel the river of time recording the past, chronicling the present, and even noting the future.
Everything was within.
"Dayan Divination Method!"
"This method calculates heaven and earth, all spaces and times. The third realm, beyond, requires the river of time’s assistance."
"Searching and picking traces from the river of time, thus understanding past grievances and witnessing past events, and even forecasting the future."
At the moment of inspiration, Chen Jichuan felt the ’Dayan Divination Method’ much improved.
He was delighted.
Alas, time dislocated, and as he strove to comprehend more, with a clatter, Kuya Demon Lord had already leaped out, returning to reality.
Somehow.
