Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

Chapter 122: Chapter 99, 3 Blossoms: Registered Disciple? Water Carrying Boy! [Second update, seeking monthly tickets!]

In response to the current situation of the Martial Alliance, Chen Jichuan issued directives:

First, make every effort to ensure the safety of lives and property for the people in ten counties.

Second, mobilize manpower, livestock, and resources to guarantee food production in Peach Garden.

If these two points are secured—people and food—the Martial Alliance will not need to fear future uncertainties, no matter how many changes arise.

"Organize manpower to station in various towns and villages, distribute spears and pikes, and train civilian militia for self-defense. Ensure joint defense measures, exterminate wild beasts in the mountains, and prevent hazards before they occur."

The strength of ordinary people is boundless.

As long as the people are mobilized, any difficulty can be overcome.

Chen Jichuan firmly believed in this.

He presided over the overall situation, made plans, and issued one command after another to ensure the Martial Alliance operated efficiently.

Yet he did not forget the foundation: "Personnel in the Black Prison cannot be reduced. Whether mining Spirit Stones or Iron-repellent Ore, no delays can be tolerated."

"Understood."

Wang Quan and Xue Zhong nodded.

They also knew the importance Chen Lin placed on the Black Prison, equal to the previous Master Yang Xiu.

Thus, even if the Martial Alliance faced manpower shortages, no one was withdrawn from the Black Prison.

Mu Junxiong personally went to Wusheng City to stabilize the situation.

He was even late for the meeting.

As they spoke...

Mu Junxiong hurriedly arrived, moving briskly despite the rugged roads between counties. As an Innate cultivator, traveling conditions had little impact on him.

He stepped into the rear hall, walked through the doors, and brought Chen Jichuan some good news—

"A new Spirit Stone mine has been discovered in the Black Prison!"

...

The discovery of another Spirit Stone mine in the Black Prison was indeed excellent news.

Mining two deposits simultaneously might not double production, but it could increase output by sixty or seventy percent.

As time progressed, this figure would continue to rise.

However.

Compared to this, the production boost in the Water Mansion Secret Realm was even more remarkable.

With the large-scale deployment of crabs and shrimp, Bivalve Pearl extraction entered a period of rapid expansion.

Chen Jichuan’s initial projections were somewhat conservative.

Unlike fishermen, these shrimp and crab creatures naturally thrive in water and mud—they swim, dig, adapt—and though their efficiency was slow at first, within a few days, daily yields began skyrocketing.

By the end of February, a total of five thousand Bivalve Pearls were harvested, yielding sixty thousand Source Power.

...

Mingtang Mountain.

Inside a cavern.

Chen Jichuan ran his fingers over the Bivalve Pearls, feeling their cool, refreshing aura seep into his body. The Green Lotus Jade Pendant absorbed this energy, transforming it into strands of silver thread.

Inside the jade pendant, silver threads danced chaotically.

It had been one hundred and ten days since Chen Jichuan formed his second Dao Fruit.

In nearly three months, the Black Prison and Water Mansion collectively contributed over seventy thousand Source Power to Chen Jichuan.

Every day, he spent three hours within the Da Liang World, refining his cultivation to validate his previous learnings with the Dao Fruit. While there, he accrued ten points of Immortal Salary daily—a small sum at first glance, but significant over time.

In these three months, he accumulated eleven thousand Source Power.

That eleven thousand Source Power was spent by Chen Jichuan on training, refining paper figures, and summoning Five Ghosts Yin Soldiers. Even several thousand Source Power derived from the Black Prison and Water Mansion had been consumed.

Finally, his cultivation reached a new level within the Da Liang World—

Inner Strength Ninth Layer.

External Strength Ninth Layer.

Daoist Skill Eighth Layer.

"Just right."

Chen Jichuan absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the final Bivalve Pearl and opened his Immortal Record—

...

Today was a good day.

Everything he hoped for turned to reality.

In the final month of his nineteenth year, Chen Jichuan’s coveted Dao Fruit finally exceeded the 100,000 Source Power threshold, enabling him to open the next world.

Feeling excited, he entered his consciousness sea. On the second stem, two floral buds awaited full bloom. Within the stem, ten thousand silver threads danced wildly, bringing joy to his heart.

At first sight, an influx of information rushed in—

[Would you like to expend 100,000 Source Power to bloom a new world?]

With two prior experiences, Chen Jichuan was already accustomed to this. Suppressing his excitement, he immediately willed: "Yes!"

In the next moment.

The flower bloomed, revealing himself once more.

Consciousness traveled.

He entered a new world...

...

[Ding!]

[Arrival in the new world. Scanning...]

[Scan complete.]

[Current world-to-Master world time flow ratio: 400:1]

[Master projection commencing, 5...4...3...2...1]

Mind entered the lotus.

The sky and earth spun.

When Chen Jichuan opened his eyes, he found himself on a coastal shore, the salty wind blowing around him.

Looking up.

The sky was bright, the sun high.

Looking down at himself.

His coarse linen clothing, calloused hands, ghostly pale complexion—all hinted at an inconsequential background. Moving his body, he felt frail and weak to an intolerable degree. His back couldn’t straighten, and his stature was inexplicably diminutive.

Who would imagine that within this broken physique lay the soul of a mundane Great Grandmaster?

A Great Grandmaster’s soul.

A severely damaged body.

Although his body reset with every entry into a new world, Chen Jichuan still struggled to adapt.

Shifting uneasily.

Gradually acclimating.

He looked around, noting the vast ocean stretching endlessly—a sight unfamiliar yet intriguing: "This is my third entry into a new world, and it’s the first time landing in a coastal area."

His prior entries—be it Langning Prefecture in Great Yann Lingnan Road or Dai County in Meishan Prefecture, Da Liang—had been deep inland.

This time, he was brought to a coastal region, with his starting point right on the shore.

"Lucky."

"At least I didn’t start in the sea."
