Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 613 - 468: Divine Skills [Tribulation Armor]! Zhou Yan Proving Dao!
"Senior Brother Meng."
"He’s actually here!"
"No wonder he didn’t return to the mountain gate, even when Senior Brother passed away."
Entering the Changshan Tower, Chen Jichuan’s face was gloomy.
Just now, he recognized at a glance that the man in the pink robe with a completely different demeanor and aura was Meng Qing, the seventeenth direct disciple of East River Palace, who had been away and unseen for many years.
Years ago, when Chen Jichuan first became a true inheritor, it motivated Meng Qing, who then decided to venture out in search of opportunities to prove his Dao.
He traveled from the Eastern Continent to the East Sea, and then to the South Sea.
Unexpectedly, he encountered Zheyou Immortal, who charmed and enslaved him. Moreover, Chen Jichuan clearly saw that there was a lewd aura on Meng Qing that was identical to that of Zheyou Immortal, clearly indicating dual cultivation with her.
"It’s not about replenishment."
"It’s normal dual cultivation."
Chen Jichuan was furious in his heart.
Zheyou Immortal is not a good person. She seduced Meng Qing and instead of using Yin Yang Replenishment, she dual cultivated with him to enhance his Daoist prowess, not out of a desire to help Meng Qing prove his Dao, but merely for the treasures in the ’Changshan Tower’.
It’s likely that Zheyou Immortal didn’t just ’cultivate’ one Meng Qing; she surely found more than a couple of Peak Immortals to get treasures more quickly.
"Wretched woman!"
Chen Jichuan was unwilling to think further.
The immediate task is to quickly pass through the ’Changshan Tower’ and swiftly prove himself as a True Immortal. Then, he will try to transmit Meng Qing’s situation to the East River Palace Master. The Palace Master will not tolerate his direct disciple being so humiliated by a demon enchantress like Zheyou Immortal. Once it’s confirmed, the Palace Master will definitely attack Zheyou Immortal’s lair. By then, Chen Jichuan can restrain her Dharma Domain Avatar on one side and take the opportunity to save Meng Qing.
This strategy is perfect.
Killing Zheyou Immortal is secondary at this point; the priority is Meng Qing’s life.
Time is pressing.
Chen Jichuan discarded distracting thoughts, stepped into the ’Changshan Tower,’ and focused carefully.
...
The Changshan Tower.
The Changshan Ruins.
This place has a mysterious origin. Even though Chen Jichuan had read extensively, he had never heard of it. The Kuya Demon Lord’s understanding of these ruins was also limited to the ’Changshan Tower’. He only knew that Fourth-order Immortals entering the tower would encounter opponents of different races, methods, and strengths, and only by overcoming each level could they receive more gifts from the ’Changshan Tower.’
It could be a magical skill.
It could be a magical treasure.
It could be a rare item.
In any case, they are all invaluable to Immortals.
Chen Jichuan entered the tower and appeared on the first floor.
"Changshan Tower."
"First floor."
On this floor of the tower, there were stone walls all around. The patterns and writings on the stone walls could be seen clearly, but the walls could never be touched.
Sumeru within a mustard seed.
The creator of this ’Changshan Tower’ achieved the pinnacle of spatial manipulation.
Chen Jichuan’s gaze swept over the stone walls, memorizing all the writings and patterns, and his heart suddenly moved—
[Divine Skill: Tribulation Armor]
[Level: Ordinary]
[Description: A divine skill specifically created by an ancient great power for True Immortals to transcend tribulations, divided into ’Soldier Armor Chapter,’ ’General Armor Chapter,’ ’King Armor Chapter,’ and ’Tribulation Armor Chapter.’ Ten thousand King Armors, ten million General Armors, and a hundred million Soldier Armors can form a ’Tribulation Armor.’ With the Tribulation Armor on, one can endure countless tribulations without perishing.]
...
"Divine Skill: Tribulation Armor!"
Chen Jichuan was momentarily dazzled.
If one relies solely on personal cultivation for this divine skill, even a True Immortal can only practice up to the ’King Armor Chapter’ to condense the ’King Armor,’ which is roughly equivalent to ordinary defensive divine skills in power.
However, if one has the complete divine power skill and gathers the strength of many, they can cultivate the ’Tribulation Armor Chapter’ and refine the strongest ’Tribulation Armor.’
A hundred million Soldier Armors.
Ten million General Armors.
Ten thousand King Armors.
Only by assembling the entire set of third-class armors can the ’Tribulation Armor’ be condensed.
However, personally nurturing so many ’armors’ is exceptionally challenging.
"A Fourth-order Immortal can only condense one ’Soldier Armor.’
"A Peak Immortal might be able to condense one ’General Armor.’
"The ’King Armor’ is even rarer; only a True Immortal can refine it."
"To gather all these King Armors, General Armors, and Soldier Armors, it requires the collective strength of ten thousand True Immortals and a billion Immortals, and they must be of the same origin."
After deep contemplation of the details of the ’Tribulation Armor,’ Chen Jichuan was both amazed by its brilliance and lamented its high difficulty for cultivation.
Ordinary divine skills are difficult to comprehend.
However, this divine skill’s difficulty lies mostly in nurturing the third-class armors.
"Kuya Demon Lord sought divine skills in vain, not recognizing the greatness before him. He only saw part of the ’Soldier Armor Chapter’ and thought it was an ordinary super-level technique."
"Unbeknownst to him, this divine skill can reach the heavens."
Chen Jichuan memorized the entire first layer of the ’Soldier Armor Chapter’ of the ’Tribulation Armor,’ which is merely the initial nurturing stage of ’Soldier Armor.’ To truly condense ’Soldier Armors’ in the future, one must blend it with one’s own essence and Qi and pair it with some refining materials. The cultivation difficulty isn’t low, but the power is quite impressive.
But without the complete divine power skill, no matter how formidable, even the General Armor or King Armor will ultimately just dress others.
"The person who crafted the ’Changshan Tower’ left various treasures within the tower; it’s indeed not a gratuitous gift."
"The pretense of bestowing treasures and opportunities is false; the real intention is to cultivate and harvest third-class armors."
Chen Jichuan went over the first layer of the ’Soldier Armor Chapter,’ pondering deeply and then focusing intently, soon sensing a trace of comforting energy permeating the first layer.
This is the remnant divine essence aura left by the master of divine skills. Only by acquiring this essence can the cultivated third-class armors be at one’s command.
"Cultivation."
"Harvest."
Chen Jichuan shook his head.
The hidden risks of this divine skill are too great.
Yet, stones from other hills can be used to polish jade. Chen Jichuan doesn’t fear an incomplete divine skill nor any backdoor it might hide. With ’Derivation’ and ’Insight,’ all mysteries are laid bare; all incomplete divine skills can be extrapolated and perfected, even enhancing their power to greater heights.
