Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 639 - 479: Seven Newly Ascended True Immortals! Age of Prosperity and Chaos!
"In any case, be careful."
"Now, Shenzhou is in turmoil, with seven new True Immortals emerging in a short period of time. This is a sign of both a golden age and chaos. Our Daoist sect and the demonic spirits may have a battle soon. You must cultivate quickly."
East River Palace Master said solemnly.
He looked at Chen Jichuan, pointed to the four directions of east, south, west, and north, and enumerated for Chen Jichuan—
"Seven thousand years ago, ’True Nature Daoist’ Liangqiu proved the Dao at the ’Dayan Victory Conference,’ and now serves as a marshal of our Immortal Court, being close to our Daoist sect."
"Five thousand years ago, you passed the tribulation of wind and fire at Golden Wind Mountain and Sea, proving True Immortal."
"Before you, after Liangqiu, Qizhenzi, one of the ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ who fought against the Black Vulture Demon, also silently achieved True Immortal."
"Four thousand six hundred years ago, the ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ attacked Kuya Island, battling Kuya Demon. In that battle, ’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong also demonstrated True Immortal dao practices, forcing Kuya Demon to withdraw from Kuya Island, officially handing the island over to the ’Xuanyang Two Immortals.’"
"Three thousand years ago, there was another True Immortal in the South Sea, named ’Xu Ning,’ self-titled ’Four Extremes Wanderer,’ battling the seasoned demon ’Wujin Ancestor’ without defeat, proficient in powerful fire techniques."
"One thousand two hundred years ago, in the North Sea, ’Wang Shan’ defeated fourteen hundred demons, occupying forty-eight thousand islands, known as the ’Seven-star Sword Master,’ with exceptional swordsmanship."
"Eight hundred years ago, in the West Sea’s ’Heavenly Defect Holy Hall,’ the great demon ’Black Square’ proved the Dao, being the enlightened exotic beast ’Black Dragon,’ skilled in controlling wind and rain, with immense strength."
’True Nature Daoist’ Liangqiu.
’Dongqi Palace Master’ Zhou Yan.
’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi.
’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong.
’Four Extremes Wanderer’ Xu Ning.
’Seven-star Sword Master’ Wang Shan.
And a ’Black Square Old Demon.’
In just seven thousand years, Shenzhou Heaven and Earth have produced seven True Immortals in succession, clearly heralding a golden age and a sign of impending chaos.
"Seven thousand years, seven True Immortals."
"Indeed, quite a number."
Chen Jichuan nodded as he listened.
However, only he knew that among these seven True Immortals, five were actually him.
"Xuanyang Two Immortals."
"South Sea Xu Ning."
"North Sea Wang Shan."
Even before proving himself as a True Immortal, Chen Jichuan had already cultivated the ’Avatar Technique’ to the Second Realm, possessing eighty-one avatars.
Each avatar had a predetermined identity.
Among them, ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ were the most successful, widely known.
After proving himself as a True Immortal.
In five thousand years.
Chen Jichuan further cultivated the ’Avatar Technique’ to the Third Realm, capable of having three perfect avatars. Hence, he crafted identities for ’Xu Ning’ and ’Wang Shan.’
’Xu Ning’ roamed the South Sea, adept in fire skills and the four arts of alchemy, artifact, formation, and talisman, hence self-titled ’Four Extremes Wanderer.’ He began walking as a True Immortal three thousand years ago, and his fame quickly spread across Shenzhou.
The other, ’Wang Shan,’ roamed the North Sea. One thousand two hundred years ago, he occupied island territories, known as the ’Seven-star Sword Master,’ his name grew prominent. Recently, he’s been frequently in contact with the ’Devil God Mountain’ of the North Sea, preparing to join this major force among the demons, ranking among the top three.
’Dongqi Palace Master’ Zhou Yan.
’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi.
’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong.
’Four Extremes Wanderer’ Xu Ning.
’Seven-star Sword Master’ Wang Shan.
Five True Immortals, five identities, all were Chen Jichuan.
Among them, ’Xuanyang Two Immortals’ were Loose Cultivators, adhering neither to evil nor righteousness.
’Four Extremes Wanderer’ Xu Ning also took the Loose Cultivator path, close to the Righteous Path, focusing on the four arts of alchemy, artifact, formation, and talisman, widely opening his doors to incorporate the assistance of other cultivators to enhance these skills.
’Seven-star Sword Master’ Wang Shan was preparing to join the ’Devil God Mountain.’
This is a demonic power led by the Fifth-ranked ’Golden Silkworm Ancestor’ on the ’Qingshi List,’ established by the Demon Race True Immortals, and is known alongside the ’Vermilion Blood Palace’ of the East Sea and the ’Heavenly Defect Holy Hall’ of the West Sea as one of the three great demonic palaces, initially one of the three largest forces in the ’Divine Court.’
Chen Jichuan’s true self is in the One Origin Dao Sect, with the Righteous Path, while his other avatars wander between righteousness and evil, but lack understanding of the demonic spirits.
Fortunately, with many avatars, sending one into the ’Devil God Mountain’ can also be considered as infiltrating the enemy to prepare in advance.
Just as the East River Palace Master said.
Shenzhou Heaven and Earth will eventually see a battle between righteousness and evil. The sooner the layout, the better the preparation. When chaos eventually arises, one can remain more composed and have greater assurance.
...
Chatting idly with the East River Palace Master, discussing these newly ascended True Immortals and the current situation in Shenzhou.
Chen Jichuan gained significant insights.
However, due to tasks at hand, Chen Jichuan did not stay long at Thousand Treasure River. After discussing the Dao with the East River Palace Master for over ten days, he set off again.
This time, his destination is the greatest treasure land in Shenzhou universe—
"Sky-reaching Mountain!"
...
The origins and details of that ancient war are no longer traceable.
With the collapse of the Ancient Heaven and Earth, an era ended, Immortals died or left.
In the new era, the ancient Immortals who remained or newly achieved are extremely rare, visible only in the twelve Big Heaven and Earths.
However, the current universe still continues from that once glorious Immortal Ancient era.
Even if the Heaven and Earth collapsed, and ancient Immortals are seldom seen, these ancient Immortals still left caves, relics, and treasures in the starry sky to bless future generations.
Fuliu Immortal’s ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ is the most renowned and influential one in the universe.
"Sky-reaching Mountain."
Chen Jichuan emerged from the East Sea into the starry sky and immediately appeared in the Hooking Star System.
The starry sky is vast, and Shenzhou resides within it.
The vast ’Shenzhou Star Cluster’ is defined with Shenzhou Heaven and Earth as the center.
The starry sky and Heaven and Earth are not merely juxtaposed in surrounding or being surrounded relationships.
The two seem to be in different spatial dimensions.
Similarly, entering the outer starry sky from Shenzhou Heaven and Earth, the positions can differ vastly.
Moreover, it’s difficult to estimate the exact position.
For instance, even if they are both in the Eastern Continent, perhaps the distance is only tens of thousands of miles, but in the starry sky, they could be seven or eight star systems apart.
And sometimes, for instance, one in the Eastern Continent and one in the Western Continent, separated by half of Shenzhou, yet in the starry sky, they might end up in the same star system.
The universe is mysterious, the starry sky is mysterious.
Even the Daoist patriarch finds it hard to know everything.
To traverse star systems in the starry sky, even a True Immortal like Kuya Demon Lord, who can travel through the river of time, finds it quite laborious. Exploring star systems and roaming freely is fine, but if there’s a specific target, it’s best to first travel within Shenzhou to the corresponding region to the star system, then step out of Heaven and Earth, which can save a lot of time.
Chen Jichuan’s current target, the ’Hooking Star System,’ is quickest to access via ’Chenshan Island’ in the East Sea.
"Fortunately."
"The deviation is not large."
Entering the starry sky, Chen Jichuan scanned around, and corresponded with the star map of the Hooking Star System, confirming his position was correct.
The journey to the Immortal Ancient Battlefield from there would only take about three to four years.
"No rush."
"Since I am in the starry sky, I should first visit ’Sky-reaching Mountain.’"
The path to the sky is underfoot, Sky-reaching Mountain is in the heart.
Fuliu Immortal’s Divine Skills were vast, and the specific location of his ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ is unknown. It seems to drift across the universe, elusive and untraceable, beyond even ancient Immortals’ detection.
To enter ’Sky-reaching Mountain,’ there’s no need to search. Simply meditate upon ’Fuliu,’ or ’Sky-reaching Mountain,’ and the mountain will sense it. As long as there’s no lock or external interference, regardless of distance, entry into the mountain is immediate.
"Sky-reaching Mountain."
Chen Jichuan stepped into the starry sky, closed his eyes to visualize the majestic mountains, and silently chanted ’Sky-reaching Mountain.’ In the next moment, the space shifted, and upon regaining clarity, he was no longer in the starry sky, but in a thatched house.
"Even the true self cannot sense the whereabouts or position of this Dharma Domain Avatar."
Chen Jichuan quietly sensed, showing a look of surprise in his eyes.
The connection between his true self and the Dharma Domain Avatar is extremely tight, and it’s rare to experience blurred sensing.
However, in ’Sky-reaching Mountain,’ determining the position is impossible.
But considering that ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ has drifted in the universe for so long without anyone finding its exact location, it’s not surprising. If the Dharma Domain Avatar could sense it, the ancient Immortals of today’s universe would have already found ’Sky-reaching Mountain,’ leaving no fortuity for these True Immortals.
The blurred sensing is no surprise.
What truly astonished Chen Jichuan was the sensing and translocation ability of ’Sky-reaching Mountain.’
