Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 641 - 480: Sky-reaching Mountain!
The extensive rankings.
One title after another.
Representing every True Immortal who has ever come since the ancient times, since the appearance of ’Sky-reaching Mountain’.
And the names in the First Mountain number more than millions and tens of millions!
"Too many!"
"Through the long ages, spanning eternity, the vast universe, and heaven and earth, there are truly too many True Immortals!"
Chen Jichuan felt awestruck.
In such a vast list, it is very difficult to find the names of the Shenzhou True Immortals on the ’Qingshi List’.
One thousand and fifty Shenzhou True Immortals are insignificant in today’s universe, not to mention that the First Mountain records generations of True Immortals throughout eternity.
This is the ’Mountain Climbing Rankings’.
There is another ranking, the ’True Immortal Debate’ ranking mentioned by Fu Danzi.
"The ’Mountain Climbing Rankings’ is similar to ’positioning’."
"The ’True Immortal Debate’ is ’ranking’."
"Among the True Immortals of the same mountain, the more victories, the higher the win rate, and the higher the ranking."
"This Fuliu Immortal is truly a wonderful person."
Chen Jichuan finds the model of ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ very interesting and feels goodwill towards a character like ’Fuliu Immortal’.
As a high and mighty Ancient Immortal, willing to consider True Immortals, creating opportunities for them without setting any threshold is rare among Ancient Immortals.
Besides the ’Mountain Climbing’ and ’Debate’, there is also a ’Spectating’ setting in ’Sky-reaching Mountain’, where time-space images of True Immortal debates are recorded for people to observe. Observing an image of the first realm of Sky-reaching Mountain only costs one jin of source jade, increasing higher up, but watching corresponding levels of images according to one’s cultivation is not burdensome.
’Sky-reaching Mountain’ only retains two-tenths of this source jade, of the remaining eight-tenths, two-tenths are given to the loser of the corresponding image debate, and the remaining six-tenths go to the winner.
Being watched once or twice does not bring much income.
But in a universe with countless True Immortals, if there is abundant source jade, most would be willing to spend a hundred or a thousand jin of source jade to watch hundreds or thousands of True Immortal battles to broaden their horizons and gain experience.
If lucky, just from the debate images being watched, over the long ages, one can also earn quite a bit of source jade.
These ingenious settings show that Fuliu Immortal put thought into it.
The only downside is that in ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ you can’t set your own name.
Whether it’s the ’Mountain Climbing Rankings’ or the ’Debate Rankings’, the recorded names are automatically captured by ’Sky-reaching Mountain’.
’Sky-reaching Mountain’ is troublesome with this real-name system.
But fortunately, it does not limit one person to one name.
"My original name is ’Zhou Yan’, known as the ’Dongqi Palace Master’, born in One Origin Dao Sect and raised in Shenzhou. Normally, my name in the ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ would be ’Zhou Yan, Dongqi Palace Master of One Origin Dao Sect in Shenzhou Heaven and Earth’."
"But I have ’Avatar Technique’, and in this universe, widely recognized identities are not only ’Zhou Yan’."
Chen Jichuan gazed at the front, the clouds transforming——
Zhou Yan, Dongqi Palace Master of One Origin Dao Sect in Shenzhou Heaven and Earth.
Qizhenzi of ’Five Thunders Immortal’, a loose cultivator in Shenzhou Heaven and Earth.
Dai Zong of ’Vajra Immortal’, a loose cultivator in Shenzhou Heaven and Earth.
Xu Ning of ’Four Extremes Wanderer’, a loose cultivator in Shenzhou Heaven and Earth.
Wang Shan of ’Seven-star Sword Master’, a loose cultivator in Shenzhou Heaven and Earth.
...
"Five identities."
Chen Jichuan couldn’t help but smile.
The mechanisms within ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ were all set by ’Fuliu Immortal’, so True Immortals find it hard to fully understand their deeper meaning.
Chen Jichuan speculated that this might also be where the thoughtfulness of ’Fuliu Immortal’ lies. Not every True Immortal in the universe likes to be famous.
Amongst them are those who are cautious, or sinister, burying their true strength deep, unknown to others.
Some even change their identities, wandering everywhere.
If they come to ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ only to be completely exposed, it would likely cause many hidden dangers and attract much trouble, thus contradicting Fuliu Immortal’s good intention.
However, this also has its limits.
Ordinary True Immortals have only a true body and a Dharma Domain Avatar, no matter how many identities they have outside, but one original and one avatar can have at most two identities in ’Sky-reaching Mountain’.
While Chen Jichuan has the ’Avatar Technique’, currently in the Third Realm, with 729 avatars, each of which can exist independently.
However, among these, only five widely recognized ’True Immortal’ identities, namely Zhou Yan, Qizhenzi, and the others, can be simultaneously established in ’Sky-reaching Mountain’.
At least this is the case for now.
In the future, with cultivation advancement, when other avatars also have True Immortal cultivation and make their names, this number can increase to 731.
Once the ’Avatar Technique’ is advanced to the Fourth Realm, it can be even more.
But obviously, there’s no need.
"Too many identities, instead, leave more traces."
"Moreover, even with different identities, the mountain climbing rewards are singular, not worthwhile."
This is in ’Sky-reaching Mountain’.
Outside ’Sky-reaching Mountain’, currently in the Third Realm of ’Avatar Technique’, Chen Jichuan can simultaneously maintain three avatars with perfect combat power. Besides ’Zhou Yan’, managing four True Immortal identities is already sufficient.
Thinking in mind.
This side.
This time, he came to ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ as a Dharma Domain Avatar, so there is no need to consider which identity to choose, directly selecting ’Zhou Yan, Dongqi Palace Master of One Origin Dao Sect in Shenzhou Heaven and Earth’, and then the earth and sky turned, and he was already inside the mountain.
...
"With my current Daoist cultivation, normally, I can reach the Second Mountain. But I possess Divine Skills, and my accomplishments are not low, so reaching the Third Mountain should not be difficult."
Chen Jichuan entered the mountain.
The ’Sky-reaching Mountain’ refined by ’Fuliu Immortal’ is indeed a supreme treasure. In every mountain within, there are many True Immortal mirror images. These many mirror images are left by True Immortals who once existed in the universe, but they are quite ancient. Even the ones closest to this era have been around for ten million years.
"Climbing Sky-reaching Mountain is like dueling in Daoist combat with eminent True Immortals in history."
"This also helps in sharpening oneself."
Chen Jichuan looked at the first opponent.
Name: Lanchen (Mirror Image)
Age: 43,568
Cultivation: Mahayana Sensing
...
"Lanchen."
Chen Jichuan’s mind flashed through the billions of True Immortal names in the First Mountain, simultaneously identifying 490 True Immortals named ’Lanchen’. After some comparison, they recognized this mirrored ’Lanchen’ as a True Immortal from 56 million years ago, originating from a place called ’Ice Peak Heaven and Earth’.
"Among the first six realms of Sky-reaching Mountain and fifty-four mountains, he has names in the first thirty-two mountains. But starting from the thirty-third mountain, it can no longer be seen."
"This Lanchen True Immortal probably fell around that time."
Thoughts flashed through Chen Jichuan’s mind.
This ’Lanchen True Immortal’ has passed the first thirty-two mountains in the ’Sky-reaching Mountain’, reaching the Fourth Realm. If still alive, there’s no reason not to continue climbing. Even if thousands of years have passed, he wouldn’t remain at the thirty-second mountain forever.
Therefore, it is likely the person is gone.
It only remains unknown whether he died accidentally or fell under a True Immortal Calamity.
Chen Jichuan pondered inwardly, then looked at the ’Lanchen True Immortal’ mirror image and couldn’t help feeling sentimental.
On this side, the mirror image of ’Lanchen True Immortal’ had no such thoughts. Once it appeared, after a slight bow to Chen Jichuan, the mountain peak changed, instantly transforming into billions of miles of glaciers.
The first battle in Sky-reaching Mountain officially commenced.
...
Climbing Sky-reaching Mountain is not easy.
Each mountain will randomly appear with True Immortal mirror images, nine in total.
Only by surviving against each True Immortal mirror image for a certain period, it is considered a success.
Of course, if able to directly defeat and shatter the mirror image, it is much easier to pass through.
Among these, the True Immortal mirror images in the First Mountain, although having varied tactics and some being extremely bizarre and bothersome, ultimately lack sufficient hard strength due to their level.
"The First Mountain corresponds to the First Step of the First Realm of True Immortals."
"Weaker even compared to the Black Vulture Emperor."
This First Mountain was not able to hold back Chen Jichuan, who easily passed through.
Upon reaching the Second Mountain.
The strength of the True Immortal mirror images increased, becoming more formidable and also harder to deal with.
Chen Jichuan tested his skills in the first mountain of the Second Realm, sparred with nine True Immortal mirror images one by one, and gained a general understanding of the True Immortal level of this realm.
"The Daoist level of the second step of the First Realm of True Immortals."
"Several mastered Super-level Techniques."
"Ordinary Immortal Artifacts."
This reflects the weakest of the second step.
If an initially promoted True Immortal possessed Divine Skills, or formidable Immortal Artifacts, entering the second realm of Sky-reaching Mountain is not difficult.
"Second Mountain of Second Realm."
Climbing another mountain after that, and it was still easy.
Chen Jichuan has some idea.
He intended to keep a low profile, so he did not continue climbing. Nor did he attempt the ’Debate’ or ’Gambling Fight’, and left ’Sky-reaching Mountain’, returning to the cottage.
