Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 629 - 474: Your Immortal Artifact, His Immortal Artifact, My Immortal Artifact!
The words fell.
Chen Jichuan leapt forward, with wind and thunder around him, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
"Qizhenzi!"
The expressions of Kuya Demon Lord and the Mountain Climber changed, but ultimately, they didn’t stop him.
The power of Qizhenzi was evident; even if the two teamed up, it would be difficult to capture him. Fighting further might expose the ’Changshan Tower.’
Not worth it.
Only, Kuya Demon Lord felt both stifled and frustrated inside.
This time, Qizhenzi had run circles around them, causing significant losses.
Nine hundred and thirty pounds of source jade!
Spider Heart Grass!
After paying such a hefty price, in the end, they only got one Divine Skill ’Nine Yin Ice Soul’ that wasn’t very useful, and it was just the first volume!
"Qizhenzi!"
"You wait, I will kill you if there’s an opportunity in the future!"
Kuya Demon Lord harbored immense hatred, secretly in his heart.
The Mountain Climber had little to say: "Only unfortunate to lose that ’Profound Yin 25 Soul-Slaying Blade.’"
He shook his head and returned to the stars.
...
Three months later.
Golden Wind Mountain and Sea, Dongqi Palace.
East River Palace Master returned with his Magic Sword, turning to Chen Jichuan and said, "The Evil Witch’s lair has been breached by me, her true form has also been slain by me, and now she is fleeing without a trace. Before she escaped, she mentioned Meng Qing had been abducted by ’Qizhenzi’ among the ’Xuanyang Two Immortals.’"
"Xuanyang Two Immortals?"
"Qizhenzi?"
Chen Jichuan was taken aback, "How are those two involved again!"
In his heart, he cursed silently.
This Zheyou Immortal had no backbone at all, after being defeated, she could still swallow her pride and revealed Meng Qing’s whereabouts to the East River Palace Master.
"Does she hate ’Qizhenzi’ more than Teacher?"
Chen Jichuan thought secretly, keeping his face expressionless.
"The Evil Witch’s words were not detailed."
"She only said Qizhenzi had proven to be a True Immortal, and took Meng Qing from her."
East River Palace Master was also a little surprised.
Although he had seen ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ fight ’Black Vulture Emperor’ back in the day, he didn’t expect that among them, ’Qizhenzi’ could prove to be a True Immortal so quickly.
In this short time.
In just a couple thousand years, there were three new True Immortals, Liangqiu, Zhou Yan, and now Qizhenzi, in Shenzhou.
This is a sign of a flourishing era.
A thought crossed East River Palace Master’s mind, but he didn’t dwell on it. He turned to Chen Jichuan and said, "Qizhenzi is neither righteous nor evil, he should not harm any of our Daoist disciples. I will return to the East Sea soon, and I will visit him at that time, retrieving Meng Qing shouldn’t be difficult."
"Thank you for your trouble, Teacher."
Chen Jichuan looked apologetic.
"What are you saying?"
"Meng Qing is also my disciple."
East River Palace Master waved his hand, took the sword, and left Dongqi Palace again, heading straight to the East Sea.
...
After East River Palace Master left.
Chen Jichuan turned back to Dongqi Palace, sat cross-legged with closed eyes.
In the distant starry sky.
A figure was traveling fast, it was ’Qizhenzi’ the Five Thunders Immortal.
"Kuya old demon manipulates the long river of time, traveling easily with great power, capable of crossing many star domains."
"I am now an initial True Immortal, yet to sense the long river of time, not to mention leveraging great power. To return to Shenzhou, it would take seven or eight years."
Chen Jichuan felt a bitterness.
Newly promoted to True Immortal.
Too shallow in Daoist practices.
Under such conditions, trying to wander beyond the starry sky is still too much.
However, this time’s gains were significant, this bit of travel hardship is nothing.
"One Immortal Artifact."
"One Spider Heart Grass."
"One thousand and seventy pounds of source jade."
"Forty-three Enlightenment Treasures."
"Various other Magical Treasures and Pills."
Chen Jichuan counted the gains from this battle, a smile appearing on his face.
In just a short hundred years, such achievements were indeed impressive.
Setting aside the Magical Treasures and Pills and the Enlightenment Treasures obtained from the Zheyou Immortal, Chen Jichuan acquired nine hundred and thirty catties of source jade from Kuya Demon Lord, along with a ’Spider Heart Grass’.
The ’Spider Heart Grass’, in the hands of others, even if consumed by someone like Shen Mo, a Peak Immortal, would only offer a slim chance of Proving Dao.
Just a final gamble before death.
But in Chen Jichuan’s hands, with ’Enlightenment’, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance it could help someone Prove Dao.
Keeping it on hand would make it much easier to assist others in Proving Dao in the future.
As for the source jade.
"Source jade contains the Heaven and Earth Origin, which can enhance the Divine Soul, increase enlightenment of the Dao, and grow Mana."
"It has numerous marvelous uses."
"A Peak Fourth-order cultivator takes three to five hundred years to refine a cattie of source jade, and even then, there are limits."
"But a True Immortal refines and absorbs source jade faster. The same cattie of source jade yields greater benefits for a True Immortal. This time, obtaining nine hundred and thirty catties of source jade from Kuya old demon, and another hundred and forty catties from Zheyou Immortal, a total of one thousand seventy catties of source jade, is enough for me to seclude myself in a cave mansion and cultivate for over ten thousand years."
Chen Jichuan, a newly promoted True Immortal, was in a period of substantial growth. This clash with Kuya Demon Lord and two other True Immortals also made him aware of his shortcomings.
Gaining over a thousand catties of source jade was like providing charcoal in snowy weather.
He felt grateful towards Kuya Demon Lord in his heart.
In addition to source jade, besides the ’Spider Heart Grass’,
thanks to Kuya Demon Lord, during this trip he also obtained an Immortal Artifact.
"Profound Yin 25 Soul-Slaying Blade!"
Chen Jichuan felt even more delighted.
The value of an Immortal Artifact is exceedingly high, difficult to exchange even for several thousand catties of source jade.
This Immortal Artifact obtained from Zheyou Immortal, is adept at ambush attacks directly targeting the cultivator’s Primordial Spirit, with significant lethality. Combined with Chen Jichuan’s Divine Skills, its power is not to be underestimated. Among many Divine Skills, it provides Chen Jichuan with an additional method to defeat enemies decisively.
"It’s a pity ’Daluo Heavenly Sleeve’ can’t be used easily."
"Otherwise, at least one more Immortal Artifact could have been harvested on this trip."
Chen Jichuan felt a bit regretful.
This encounter with three True Immortals helped him truly realize the might of Immortal Artifacts.
A True Immortal with an Immortal Artifact in hand wields tremendous power, not inferior to having a Divine Skill.
"At least comparable to a Third Realm Divine Skill!"
Such is the power of Immortal Artifacts, naturally leaving Chen Jichuan yearning for them eagerly.
This battle.
Besides the ’Profound Yin 25 Soul-Slaying Blade’ from Zheyou Immortal, there’s also Mountain Climber’s ’Vajra Mountain’.
Now that Chen Jichuan is a True Immortal and ’Daluo Heavenly Sleeve’ has long been deduced into a Divine Skill, cultivated to the third realm. Once activated, Immortal Artifacts like the ’Profound Yin 25 Soul-Slaying Blade’ can be casually taken and claimed as his own.
Mountain Climber’s ’Vajra Mountain’ naturally cannot escape.
But the ’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi has already demonstrated two Divine Skills ’Wind Thunder Walking’ and ’Five Thunders True Skill’, revealing ’Daluo Heavenly Sleeve’ as well would be too conspicuous.
"I have the ’Avatar Technique’, with many identities in the future, there’s no need to reveal too many Divine Skills under one identity."
"’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi has ’Wind Thunder Walking’ and ’Five Thunders True Skill’, which is enough."
"’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong has ’Vajra Mantra’ and ’Heaven Mending Seal’, these two Divine Skills."
"Once I cultivate the ’Avatar Technique’ to the Third Realm, gaining a perfect Avatar, then reveal ’Daluo Heavenly Sleeve’ to specialize in seizing Magical Treasures—a strategic delay."
In the past, before Proving Dao, using ’Daluo Heavenly Sleeve’ to seize Immortal Artifacts, seizing too few would be meaningless, and too many would attract attention.
Possessing a treasure incurs its own peril.
If targeted by a powerful True Immortal, he could not withstand it.
But now.
Chen Jichuan has Proven Dao and is a True Immortal, thus acquiring others’ Immortal Artifacts with confidence.
Additionally.
In the past, under the identity of Zhou Yan, during the ’Dayan Victory Conference’, he slightly revealed the super-level ’Daluo Heavenly Sleeve’, which bore some resemblance to his Divine Skills, and possibly recognized by others.
"Once I integrate ’Primordial Magnetic Chain’ into ’Daluo Heavenly Sleeve’, diversify the transformations of the Divine Skill, combined with the inherent disparity between Divine Skills and Super-level Techniques, it’ll be obscure in future exhibitions."
In the vast Cultivation World, there are countless similar Magic Skills.
For instance, the ’Heavenly Demon Disintegration Great Method’ used by Zheyou Immortal, found four hundred and forty-four different similar escape techniques within the One Origin Dao Sect alone.
Similarly, there are many techniques for seizing Magical Treasures.
Once repackaged and presented, there’s no concern about exposure.
"Daluo Heavenly Sleeve."
Calculating strategically in his heart, Chen Jichuan was already recalling the prominent great demons and old demons at the lower ranks of the ’Qingshi List’, considering what notable Immortal Artifacts they bore.
With these thoughts in mind.
Continuing his journey without pause.
