Chapter 113: Chapter 90: The 2nd ’Dao Fruit’! [2nd Update, Requesting Monthly Pass!]

Here is the English translation of the text:

---

In the sea of consciousness.

Lotus blossoms bloomed, shining brilliantly across the world.

Amid the radiant glow, past memories surged forth, the Great Yann World’s two lifetimes and three hundred and ten years of experiences flooding into his mind——

Entering the Great Yann, arriving at Meishan Prefecture, meeting Qizhenzi.

...

Invited by the Second Division of Golden Wind Mountain, treating Old Lady Ban, obtaining "High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book", slaying the Five Ghost Daoist, obtaining the ’Five Ghost Yin Soldiers Skill.’

...

Founded Baozhi Forest, managed Dai County, becoming the Sitting Tiger.

...

Returning in his second lifetime, achieving union with Creation, killing Qizhenzi, establishing the Immortal Temple, and passing on the 48 Techniques.

...

Studying "Sword Map", practicing swordsmanship, mastering inner and external skills, finally becoming a legendary figure.

...

"One lifetime."

"It’s over again."

Scenes from the past, suddenly spanning three hundred years, once more Chen Jichuan felt like he’d lived another life, regaining his senses, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

Another experience through life and death, still inducing fear.

At times sober, at times disoriented.

Without noticing, when he returned to awareness, he found himself in the sea of consciousness.

Before him.

A lotus flower.

...

"Lotus flower."

Chen Jichuan steadied his mind, focusing on the sea of consciousness.

The lotus flower shimmered brightly, suddenly forming a lotus seedpod, within it lotus seeds releasing a fragrant scent.

Streams of information intertwined.

"Dao Fruit."

"Lotus seeds."

Another trial through life and death tempered him further, allowing Chen Jichuan to remain calm amid chaos. Settling his emotions, he sorted through and absorbed the information conveyed by this second ’Dao Fruit’——

Name: Chen Jichuan [The Second]

Age: 262 (140)

Immortal-order: 0

Official position: None

Level: 9

Talent: Creation·Insight

Cultivation Technique: Sword Map (Ninth Layer), Chen’s 72 Skills (Ninth Layer), Taiyin Refining Body Technique (Eighth Layer), Primordial Skill (Seventh Layer)

Daoist Skills: Ancestor Chen’s 48 Techniques, Splashed Ink and Striped Cloth Sword Technique,...

Copying Techniques: Slight

Immortal Devotion: 10

Source Power: 31098

...

Looking at ’Dao Fruit.’

On its surface emerged Chen Jichuan’s final achievements in the Great Yann World.

One hundred and fifty-five years of bitter cultivation.

Three hundred and ten years of time.

Chen Jichuan had elevated his external and internal skills to the pinnacle of his era, progressing no further. Only his Daoist skills fell slightly short, failing to reach the Ninth Layer.

Yet within the Great Yann World, he was undoubtedly at the peak tier.

Meeting the standard for creating Dao Fruit.

"Finally achieved it."

Looking at the second ’Dao Fruit,’ Chen Jichuan let out a sigh of relief.

With his stormy maneuvers in reality and the establishment of Martial Alliance, the level of the first ’Dao Fruit’ created in the Great Yann World now seemed insufficient.

Back in Great Yann.

Chen Jichuan had an inner skill of the Sixth Layer, external skill of the Sixth Layer, which still proved useful against Sheng Dayang, Fang Dong, and others.

Against figures like Cao Zheng, Chuu Sanyang, and other elders of the three sects, it provided some benefit too. Though they were Sixth Grade, the same level of experience and insights impacted and benefited them.

If fully understood, even if not breaking through to Innate, they could still improve atop their predecessor abilities.

However, for Mu Junxiong, Wang Quan, and Xue Zhong, it appeared insufficient.

All three were at the Innate level.

The first ’Dao Fruit’ was of a level even lower than theirs.

It was only through Chen Jichuan’s dazzling maneuvers.

At first, he fabricated a ’White Jade City,’ posing as ’Yangg Xiu,’ stirring up waves both overt and covert, openly killing Wuu Guangquan and others. His eerie and ruthless methods intimidated the three.

Additionally, he used the doctrines of ’White Jade City’ for seduction, and dangled the ’Immortal Method’ to keep them intrigued.

Only then could he command them with ease, ensuring Mu Junxiong and the others didn’t betray, holding onto hope.

But as time passed.

Chen Jichuan monopolized Spirit Stones and Bivalve Pearls, while the so-called ’Immortal Method’ saw no resolution. Sooner or later, the three would grow restless and rebel.

At that point, while Chen Jichuan might not fear them, it would inevitably be problematic.

But now it was solved.

With the second ’Dao Fruit’ fully formed, not only would it attract Mu Junxiong and others at the Seventh Grade Innate, but even the Eighth Rank and Ninth Grade Grandmasters would find the second ’Dao Fruit’ and its Iron Lotus Seeds significantly tempting.

"A few days from now."

"Find an excuse and distribute the Iron Lotus Seeds."

Chen Jichuan thought, then remembered the ’Yuanchen Sword,’ and smiled: "Start with rewarding Mu Junxiong and Chuu Sanyang."

He acquired the ’Yuanchen Sword’ and "Sword Map" thanks in part to the two. Rewarding them with two Iron Lotus Seeds was both proper and reasonable.

Privately.

Sheng Dayang could also be given one.

As for others from back then, gold and silks would suffice as rewards.

Chen Jichuan was stingy, but only regarding Spirit Stones and Bivalve Pearls. He cared little for gold, silver, and jewels.

A thought passed.

Chen Jichuan was about to condense a few Iron Lotus Seeds from the ’Dao Fruit’ for rewarding.

But as his intention touched it, another message arrived——

"Congratulations to Master for attaining Immortal-order, current Immortal-order is Grade 0, you may now condense two affiliated Dao Fruits, please select——"

The message came.

In Chen Jichuan’s view, figures flashed one after another——

Five Ghost Daoist.

Qizhenzi.

Ban Zhao.

Ban Ya.

Sunx Sihai.

Jin Shenggu.

Feixiazi.

...

Individuals, familiar to Chen Jichuan.

Some fell to his hands, like Qizhenzi.

Others died nearby, like Five Ghost Daoist, Sunx Sihai, the Second Division, and others.

"Immortal-order?"

"Affiliated Dao Fruits?"

Chen Jichuan felt shocked, turning to the second ’Dao Fruit,’ noticing the Immortal Record’s Immortal-order section had indeed changed from ’None’ to ’0.’

At first glance, there seemed to be no difference.

Chen Jichuan hadn’t noticed initially, as before his death in the Great Yann World, his Immortal Record didn’t reflect this change.

Who would’ve thought it changed post-mortem?

Checking the ’Immortal Salary,’ it had increased dramatically from one point every ten days to ten points every ten days.

Immortal Salary skyrocketing!

Yet neither Immortal-order nor Immortal Salary struck him as profoundly as the affiliated Dao Fruits.

"Two affiliated Dao Fruits."

"Which means——"

Chen Jichuan’s eyes lit up as his lips involuntarily curled into a smile, even in the sea of consciousness.

Among the selectable individuals were plenty of experts.

Some at the peak of external skills, such as Sunx Sihai, reaching Transforming Strength’s peak, Ninth Grade’s pinnacle, just a step away from Grade 10.

Others at the summit of Daoist skills, such as Qizhenzi, reaching Soul Emergence’s peak, Ninth Grade’s pinnacle, also one step short of Grade 10.

Sunx Sihai wasn’t as significant.

Specializing in ’Chen’s 72 Skills,’ his entire repertoire came from Chen Jichuan, at most seasoned with personal insights.

Of course.

For Chen Jichuan, obtaining Dao Fruits representing Sunx Sihai’s lifetime achievements could bring tremendous benefits.

Filling gaps, sparking connections, offering mutual validation.

Future breakthroughs in Transforming Strength would become more likely.

But relatively speaking.

Qizhenzi’s Dao Fruit was far more enticing for Chen Jichuan.

This old immortal’s Daoist skill level reached great heights, with mastery in many techniques like the ’Paper Cutting into Soldiers Skill’ learned from him, along with the ’Plow Head Curse,’ and the ’Ghost Communication Technique.’

But still, some secret techniques were not recorded, existing only in Qizhenzi’s self-practice.

Previously lamenting this, Chen Jichuan now merely needed to condense Qizhenzi’s Dao Fruit. All his lifelong skills would be at Chen Jichuan’s disposal.

Picked as he pleased.

"Dao Fruit!"

"Such a Dao Fruit!"

Chen Jichuan was overjoyed.

This was truly sleep meeting a pillow, holding exceptional value to him.

Wasting no further thought.

Chen Jichuan had already decided on his two targets——

The first, needless to say, was Qizhenzi.

Among those who perished near him, Qizhenzi held the highest Daoist skill level. Not to mention his mastery over referenced Daoist techniques, solely his expertise in Daoist cultivation and Soul Emergence were bountiful treasures for Chen Jichuan.

The second, surprisingly, wasn’t Sunx Sihai.

While Sunx Sihai’s sole devotion to ’Chen’s 72 Skills’ held significance, it offered limited insights beyond experience-sharing with Chen Jichuan’s existing abilities.

Furthermore.

In reality, martial artists primarily practiced inner skills. Chen Jichuan’s achievements in inner skills were commendable but concentrated on "Sword Map" and "Divine Pouncing Saber".

"Sword Map" was unsuitable for earthly propagation.

Only "Divine Pouncing Saber" remained.

If most White Jade City members consistently produced insights from this single martial art, deeply intertwined with identical origins, doubts might inevitably arise.

"Sunx Sihai won’t do."

Redirecting his focus, Chen Jichuan landed on a relaxed figure of an elderly, white-haired sage who exuded calmness——

...

Name: Qizhenzi

Level: 9

Cultivation Technique: Ghost Communication Technique (9)

Daoist Skills: Five Demonic Skills, Plow Head Curse, Paper Cutting into Soldiers Skill, Thousand-Pound Mountain Pressing Skill, Circular Light Skill, Chicken Head Evil Technique,...

...

Name: Ann Jishi

Level: 9

Cultivation Technique: Three-Point Returning Essence Sword (9)

Daoist Skills: Three-Point Returning Essence Sword Technique, Soft Cloud Sword Skill, Divine Wind Thirteen Swords, Songfeng Sword Technique, Cloud-clearing Sword Technique, Sky Splitting Palm,...

...

Meng Longshan, Ann Jishi.

This was one of the Great Da Liang World’s renowned Grandmasters, ferocious in early life nearly unrivaled, while embracing serenity in old age, even shelving his sword high.

During his Innate predicament, Chen Jichuan had sought Meng Longshan’s guidance and gained much.

Later, as Ann Jishi approached his twilight years, Chen Jichuan, now recognized as one of Da Liang’s preeminent Divine Doctors, was summoned to provide him rejuvenation.

Regrettably, destiny was unchangeable, nor was longevity negotiable.

Ann Jishi ultimately succumbed to time.

Chen Jichuan had been present during his passing, thus this Grandmaster emerged among the options.

"A Grandmaster at the peak of internal skills; exceptional swordsman."

"Perfect for advancing my study of ’Ten Thousand Sword Map!’"

Practicing ’Ten Thousand Sword Map,’ Chen Jichuan must exhaust intense effort, pushing individual sword techniques to the Divine Realm, thereby transforming them into sword techniques to wield Sword Qi.

Ann Jishi devoted his lifetime to sword practice, offering not only insights and perspectives but mastery over dozens of sword techniques from Meng Longshan.

Enhancing and solidifying oneself could not find a better fit.

Sunx Sihai’s strength and realm might not lose out to Ann Jishi, however, reasonably, the latter proved more beneficial to Chen Jichuan.

"Qizhenzi."

"Ann Jishi."

Having finalized his selections.

Just as the second ’Dao Fruit’ blossomed, two smaller buds simultaneously bloomed beside it, twenty thousand strands of silver threads flowing into them, swiftly growing into lotus flowers.

Within the flowers emerged the figures of ’Qizhenzi’ and ’Ann Jishi,’ then the lotus petals fell away, revealing two smaller lotus pods each containing lotus seeds.

Witnessing this scene.

Chen Jichuan was thrilled.

Even as twenty thousand points of Source Power were consumed in an instant, he felt not an ounce of sting.

His miserly accumulation of Spirit Stones and Bivalve Pearls, his harvesting Source Power, was never about the Source Power itself but increasing his strength.

The previous stinginess.

Stemmed solely from an unwillingness towards misguided prioritization.

If for nurturing or consolidating influence, lavishly lavishing indefinite Spirit Stones and Bivalve Pearls on subordinates, his forces may indeed stabilize, yet Chen Jichuan’s growth may stagnate.

What mattered more?

What mattered less?

Such distinctions were crystal clear to Chen Jichuan.

Generous gifts to inferiors made no valid case.

But now, twenty thousand points of Source Power, exchanged deeply for lifetimes worth of refinement and mastery by two similarly leveled experts.

No debates about gains.

No regrets about losses.

No qualms over pride.

Having gained richly.

No reason for false modesty.

No trace of remorse at victory, Chen Jichuan mused: "Visiting more elite experts across future worlds might be most prudent too."

Such that, as nearing these figures’ eventual deaths, rightful assemblage delivering their final farewells would precede effortless preferential selections, exclusive superiority further condensing advances.

For infamously notorious warriors, regular courtesies wouldn’t ideally suit proceeding invitations merely awaiting their passing.

Yet granting memoranda reminders precisely present regarding declines nearing definitive years, engaging mutual confrontational pursuits towards simultaneous collapses, sure substantial value streams unavoidably seated onwards universally.
