Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 618 - 469: True Immortal Transformation, Dao Palace Seats!
The years of a True Immortal are long and they are not in a hurry. They take advantage of Zhou Yan’s proving of the Dao to gather and celebrate.
"Let’s go!"
"Let’s head to the Dao Palace first!"
True Immortals gather in groups of three to five, calling friends, each with joy on their faces. Some are joyful at reuniting with old friends, others because the Daoist sect has gained another True Immortal. They laugh and chat, making their way to the One Origin Dao Palace.
Meanwhile.
Chen Jichuan returns to East River Palace, back to his own cave, sitting in meditation, contemplating the various transformations after ascending to True Immortal.
...
"Nine lifetimes of accumulation."
"A single morning’s Dao attainment."
Chen Jichuan sits cross-legged in his cave, feeling both joy and deep reflection.
This lifetime, he was unparalleled in talent, but it was also built on the accumulations of the past eight lives. The painstaking cultivation through eight Dao Fruit Worlds, especially the last Chongming World, cultivating for over 140,000 years, becoming the first person in Chongming Realm, having the best of conditions.
Unfortunately, he ultimately could not prove the Dao.
However, all these became his foundation, became fuel, and in this life of over three thousand years, with the platform of the ’One Origin Dao Sect’, with barely sufficient Divine Skills, he managed to reach the level of a True Immortal first.
Daoist Disciple! True Immortal Inheritor! Daoist True Transmission! Daoist Chief!
Step by step.
With the ’Avatar Technique’ working hard outside, the ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ walking among both righteous and evil True Immortals, disregarding face just to prove the Dao.
Everything.
Finally.
Today. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
It all came to fruition, to harvest.
"True Immortal!"
"It finally happened!"
Chen Jichuan felt a slight relaxation, joy lingering.
But the Immortal Dao is boundless, and the True Immortal Mahayana is not the end.
"At the peak of the Fourth-order Enlightenment Realm, the previously hazy ’Five Elements Realm’, after my Enlightenment, became clear, which can be seen as a glimpse of the True Intent of the Dao, barely able to be called ’Five Elements True Intent’."
"However, what I currently grasp is only superficial. Next, it’s time to delve deeply into the ’Five Elements True Intent’, continue to comprehend until the complete mastery of the first layer of True Intent, and then the First Realm can be considered complete."
Aspiring to the Upper Immortal is divided into Four Realms.
Great Mahayana True Immortals are also divided into Four Realms.
First Realm Sensing.
Second Realm Dharma Manifestation.
Third Realm Converge.
Fourth Realm Thunder Tribulation.
"I have initially promoted to True Immortal, at the Mahayana Sensing Realm. Breaking the chains, with a lively spirit, everything in the universe, heaven, and earth shows a new aspect. This stage is about rediscovering and re-understanding the world from a new level."
"Silently understanding, achieving effortlessly, accomplishing all, seen yet unknown, this is the Sensing of the Dao."
Chen Jichuan carefully perceived, making no movements.
Seven or eight days passed, and a smile appeared on his face.
"The Great Dao is in me, I am the Dharma!"
With a thought, the Dharma Domain is born.
In that instant, his cave seemed isolated from the world, as if detached from the universe, while he became the master of the Dharma Domain, creating everything.
This is the ’Dharma Domain’!
"Mahayana Sensing, True Immortal Dharma Domain."
"The most important ’Dharma Domain Avatar’ of a True Immortal is based on this. Within the ’Dharma Domain’, a True Immortal can act at will, creating avatars naturally with no difficulty."
"But it is limited to one avatar."
Chen Jichuan realized little by little, experiencing bit by bit.
Initially promoted to True Immortal, myriad threads of thoughts.
He also explores.
Mana.
Physical body.
Primordial Spirit.
With the breakthrough in cultivation, the level of life leaps, and the Three Treasures of spirit rapidly transform. Every minute, every second, opening eyes to view the world, the world is transforming. Continuously updating, full of myriad phenomena.
True Intent.
Dharma Domain.
The various supernatural aspects of a True Immortal also manifest.
The changes in different levels of life, a comprehensive transformation, immersed Chen Jichuan in it, as if experiencing a rebirth. A True Immortal proving the Dao is like the birth of a new life.
Novel.
Profound.
Mysterious.
Hard to speak fully, hard to fully observe.
But in this rebirth, in transformation, there is a slight tremor in the unseen.
With a slight insight, Chen Jichuan understood: "Calamity!"
True Immortals can initially resist the erosion of the long river of time, neither aging nor declining.
But they do have calamities.
"Every Yuan Hui, there is a disaster that descends."
"If a Great Mahayana True Immortal can endure endless tribulations without decay, they can attain the position of an Earth Immortal, equal with the world."
Chen Jichuan felt a stir in his heart, thinking of the ’Tribulation Armor’ divine skill in the ’Changshan Tower’: "This divine skill was created to help True Immortals cross tribulations."
True Immortals are ageless and unfading, yet plagued by countless tribulations.
Earth Immortals, however, remain unchanged through endless tribulations.
Therefore, if a True Immortal can endure countless tribulations, they can attain the position of an Earth Immortal.
This ’Tribulation Armor’ directly targets the divine skill of Earth Immortals.
"Unchanging through endless tribulations!"
"What grand ambition!"
"But unfortunately, it’s incredibly difficult. It’s unknown whether the owner of the ’Changshan Tower’ still exists in the world. If they do, they likely have yet to attain the status of an Earth Immortal, free from tribulations."
Chen Jichuan shook his head.
The world marvels at True Immortals, but they must still face countless catastrophes. To be unchanged through endless tribulations is no easy task.
However, the eternal path of the Immortal Dao has never been easy.
Qi Refinement.
Enlightenment.
Divinity Transformation.
Ascension.
Chen Jichuan had traversed through various Dao Fruit Worlds, ascending through various realms, well aware of the hardships involved.
During Qi Refinement, he looked up to True Persons.
After Enlightenment, he looked up to Divinity Transformation.
During Divinity Transformation, he longed for Ascension, yearned for the realm of the Upper Immortal.
But upon reaching the Fourth-order, becoming an Upper Immortal, he struggled to seek the path of a True Immortal. Once he attains the Dao, naturally, there will be higher pursuits. The various pursuits and troubles of a Great Mahayana True Immortal will naturally follow.
"Having attained the Dao, with no limits on life span, what is there to fear?"
Chen Jichuan smiled.
Understanding the calamities of True Immortals and the difficulties of the path ahead, none of it could diminish his joy of proving the Dao as a True Immortal, nor instill any fear that would hold him back.
Strive for the Great Dao!
Contending with others before, contending with the heavens from now on!
...
Secluded in the cave dwelling, contemplating for several months.
Chen Jichuan was aware that the Daoist True Immortals were still waiting for him, and he could not delay too long on Meng Qing’s side. Therefore, he did not seek perfection; after familiarizing himself a little with his new realm, he left the cave dwelling and headed for the One Origin Dao Palace.
...
One Origin Dao Palace.
This is the gathering place for True Immortals within the One Origin Dao Sect. Whenever a new True Immortal emerges in the sect, a seat is added here in the ’One Origin Dao Palace’.
This is the most esteemed palace in the One Origin Dao Sect, only True Immortals may enter.
For several months.
The news of Zhou Yan proving the Dao spread throughout the sect. Every True Immortal in the One Origin Dao Sect who could make the time arrived, gathering in this One Origin Dao Palace.
The magnificent Dao Palace was filled with immortal energy, with forty-six True Immortals manifested within the hall, seated as if on clouds.
Chen Jichuan walked in with large strides.
"Disciple Zhou Yan, greets Teacher, greets all the esteemed seniors!"
In the Dao Palace, Chen Jichuan stood still, clasping his hands in salute to the East River Palace Master and the gathered Daoist True Immortals.
"Junior Zhou."
"Being fellow True Immortals, with boundless life, other than your direct teacher, just call us senior brother and sister."
Qianming Palace Master sat upright on a cushion, casting a glance at Chen Jichuan, then pointed at the East River Palace Master, whose demeanor had returned to normal, and pretended to be displeased: "I can only be annoyed that you apprentice under Senior Brother East River, addressing you as junior brother, it feels like I’m the one at a disadvantage."
"Haha!"
Qianming Palace Master jested, making all the immortals present smile.
True Immortals may face calamities, but apart from the Fourth Realm Thunder Tribulation True Immortals, it is merely one tribulation per Yuan Hui, after three or five tribulations, each would have ages spanning tens of thousands to millions of years.
Thus, the age range of True Immortals is extraordinarily vast.
The youngest among those present, ’Dongyang Palace Master’, had proved the Dao for 150,000 years, witnessing the life and death shifts of three Upper Immortal eras.
If every newly promoted True Immortal in the sect had to follow a generational hierarchy, it would be overwhelming, for each subsequent True Immortal would have countless senior ancestors, all being True Immortals, above their head.
There is no necessity for this.
In the Dao Sect, it is customary for a newly ascended True Immortal to address peers as senior brothers and sisters, unless it is a relationship like Chen Jichuan and East River Palace Master’s direct master-disciple bond.
For instance, ’Dongyang Palace Master’.
He achieved the Dao several hundred thousand years later than the East River Palace Master, yet in front of him, he can still use the term ’Senior Brother’.
Proving Dao as a True Immortal.
Being fellow True Immortals.
Naturally, all are equal.
"Zhou Yan, take a seat."
After the laughter, at the head of the Dao Palace, a handsome and graceful young Daoist looked at Chen Jichuan.
As his words fell, a cushion appeared at the end of the Dao Palace.
Chen Jichuan recognized this Daoist.
When he first entered the Dao Sect and worshipped at the Ancestor Hall, he had seen the portrait of this young Daoist and knew this Daoist was the Sect Leader True Immortal of the One Origin Dao Sect, titled ’Fu Danzi’. This Sect Leader appeared young, yet in fact, both his age and generation were extremely high, being a direct disciple of the ’Yiyuan Ancestor Master’ who founded the One Origin Dao Sect, and is among the oldest across Shenzhou. Just his name alone instills fear in the demons of Shenzhou.
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
Following the instruction, Chen Jichuan took his seat.
