Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit
Chapter 224 - 185: Never Leaving Home, Cultivating Immortality at Home!

Chapter 224: Chapter 185: Never Leaving Home, Cultivating Immortality at Home!

"Four hundred and sixty years."

"The Qinling World, for now, comes to a temporary halt."

"Next—"

Chen Jichuan stared at the Green Lotus Jade Pendant in his mind, seeing the lotus representing the ’Qinling World’, and the three buds beside it, he sighed longingly in his heart.

No need to rush into the next world.

He rose and walked out of the cave abode, looking far into the distance to soothe his mood.

In the Qinling World just now, he found a hidden place, where he first put Li Qingshan and Wang Yan into an ice-sealed sleep, then placed the Five Ghost Yin Soldiers, eighteen refined corpses, and forty-nine paper men nearby as protectors.

Then he left the Qinling World.

This farewell, when they meet again, may be millennia later.

Thinking of this.

One can’t help but feel desolate, with a heavy heart.

Chen Jichuan was no exception.

Especially when he thought of meeting Wang Yan again a thousand years later. After just a fleeting few decades, this niece who was close to him from a young age would reach the end of her lifespan and head to the Yellow Springs.

His heart was naturally filled with a thousand sorrows.

Subsequently, Chen Jichuan thought of Li Qingshan: "A dream of a thousand years, when he wakes, and sees the Taixu Sword Sect decline once more, I wonder if he will blame me."

Li Qingshan was different from him.

This unparalleled genius of the Taixu Sword Sect was originally a mountain village boy. After joining the Taixu Sword Sect, he gained the favor of Sect Master Yang Xiong, who took him as a disciple and even gave his only daughter to him in marriage.

From then on, he rose to prominence.

Therefore, Li Qingshan’s feelings for the Taixu Sword Sect were deep.

In his entire life, apart from cultivation, even including cultivation, he worked hard for the revival of the Taixu Sword Sect.

When the Taixu Sword Sect revived, he hoped for the sect to prosper without decline.

To console his master, father-in-law, and the spirits of many fellow disciples.

But this was not what Chen Jichuan hoped for.

If the Taixu Sword Sect prospers without decline, with one family domineering and lacking competition, the grand era Chen Jichuan awaited would never arrive.

Therefore.

Before leaving the Qinling World, after Li Qingshan and Wang Yan fell asleep, Chen Jichuan acted secretly, keeping the location of their sleep hidden, while also keeping the ’Mystical Gate Skill’ a secret.

With these actions.

As Chen Jichuan left the Qinling World, the Taixu Sword Sect suddenly lost three great Void Nether Experts.

And with the lack of Mystical Gate Skill.

The guarantee for the thriving of the Taixu Sword Sect was thus reduced by two folds.

The world’s great trend cannot be changed.

Hundreds of years later.

Central Earth is bound to descend into chaos once more, and the factions like the Sun-shooting Divine Mountain, Xingyi Sect, and Huangtian City, which were never completely wiped out, will all return to life and rise again.

During their rise, there will surely emerge characters of unmatched elegance.

This is the brilliant era Chen Jichuan awaited.

For this goal, to let the Taixu Sword Sect, which he arguably co-founded, decline once more, he was willing to spare no expense.

If all these thoughts and schemes were known to Li Qingshan, they would inevitably turn against each other.

Chen Jichuan could foresee Li Qingshan’s reaction upon waking and could understand his feelings at that time.

He felt some reluctance.

But he had no choice.

"The rise and fall of a sect is but the flick of a finger."

"Only one’s own cultivation holds eternal hope."

Chen Jichuan’s mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, eventually returning to silence.

Forging a heart as hard as iron and stone.

Looking at the world once more.

The bright and clear day, the grand and magnificent world, became real.

...

Four hundred and sixty years in the Qinling World.

A year and fifty-five days have also passed in the real world.

Where Chen Jichuan was currently located was no longer Great Chu, but the Panlong Mountain region he had longed for.

A year ago.

Twenty days after he started the Qinling World, he, together with Hann Jin, came to Panlong Mountain through the Transmission Formation and appeared at the Seven Emotions Marsh.

Afterwards, the two parted ways.

Chen Jichuan also discarded the identity of ’Chen Lin’, returned to his real name, left the Seven Emotions Marsh, and settled in a market called ’Fire Dragon Cave’ located in the northwest area of Panlong Mountain.

On one hand, he engaged in alchemy and artifact refining, making connections with people, familiarizing himself with Panlong Mountain, and earning cultivation resources.

On the other hand, he buried his head in hard cultivation to improve his cultivation.

Over the course of a year, he managed to stabilize his footing.

And gained a more detailed understanding of Panlong Mountain.

...

"Panlong Nine Thousand Nine."

"Vast territory."

"Because it lies like a dragon, some people have divided Panlong Mountain according to the parts of a dragon’s body, naming the regions as ’Dragon Horn Domain’, ’Dragon Head Domain’, ’Four Claw Domain’, ’Dragon Tail Domain’, and ’Dragon Scale Domain’.

"The vast Panlong Mountain is divided into five domains, yet it is still not detailed enough."

"Therefore, beneath these five major domains, there are more detailed subdivisions. For example, the ’Four Claw Domain’ is actually not a single complete area, but is divided into four major regions: southeast, northwest, with further subdivisions based on the characteristics of dragon claws. As for the ’Dragon Scale Domain’, it’s said that the dragon’s back has eighty-one scales, attributing to the Nine-nine Yang number, thus dividing the ’Dragon Scale Domain’ into eighty-one small realms."

"The Seven Emotions Marsh is one small realm in the ’Dragon Scale Domain’."

"The Fire Cloud Cave is another such place."

Chen Jichuan, holding a journal from predecessors introducing Panlong Mountain, flipped through it with great interest.

Overall speaking.

Panlong Mountain actually represents the traditional ’Immortal Cultivation World’.

The mountains and rivers, full of talented people and spiritual aura, attracted countless immortal cultivators.

When Chen Jichuan entered it, it was like a drop of water merging into the ocean, making him inconspicuous.

"I practice in the Dao Fruit World; there’s no need for training in reality."

"The pills, magical treasures, or other spiritual objects needed for cultivation are mostly self-made. The rare few can also be exchanged in the workshop."

"At least at the Qi Refining Layer, there’s no need to run around excessively."

When Chen Jichuan left Great Chu, he had already stayed at the pinnacle of Innate, Transforming Strength, and Soul Emergence for a long time.

Upon reaching Panlong Mountain.

He immediately broke through, reaching the layers of Qi Refining, Core Formation, and Night Travel.

From that time, cultivation became difficult.

It not only consumed time and effort but also drained financial resources.

For instance, in Qi Refining.

At the First Layer, one must transform all True Yuan into Mana.

This was not easy.

Thinking back on how difficult it was when Chen Jichuan initially transformed the first wisp of Mana, even with that experience, the process was still laborious, painstaking, and required persistence and effort.

But fortunately, the predecessors have long explored various ways to accelerate the transformation process.

Such as pills, like the ’Jifa Pill’.

Or Magical Treasures, like the ’Primordial Yang Pearl’.

Or Secret Techniques, like the ’Turtle Breath Method’.

They all can expedite the conversion of Mana.

Chen Jichuan utilized all three methods, consuming pills like the ’Jifa Pill’, refining the ’Primordial Yang Pearl’ to accelerate cultivation, while also purchasing other similar Magical Treasures, and seeking Secret Techniques like the ’Turtle Breath Method’.

Thus.

With a continuous supply of Source Power, what normally would require more than a decade or even longer to complete a perfect First Layer of Qi Refining, Chen Jichuan completed in just over half a year.

Yet even so.

In the Qinling World, he was already at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer. But in reality, he was still at the Second Layer of Qi Refining.

The gap was inevitably widening.

"Cultivation must not be rushed."

"No matter how great the gap, it must be bridged step by step."

Chen Jichuan remained clear-minded, not aiming too high, nor underestimating the reality due to his achievements in the Dao Fruit World.

He had his own plans.

"The First Layer of Qi Refining is a process of transformation."

"The Second Layer of Qi Refining is about accumulation and expansion of the Dantian."

Among them, accumulating Mana was relatively simple for him.

As long as there are enough Spirit Stones to convert into sufficient Source Power, enhancing Mana is easy.

But expanding the Dantian can’t be rushed.

Reckless rushing for speed can damage the Dantian, actually delaying cultivation progress.

"’Immortal Ganoderma Fruit’, ’Piyuan Pill’ and other spiritual pills can help stabilize and expand the Dantian. I have been collecting them, so there’s no worry for the Second Layer of Qi Refining."

"However, the resources needed for the Third Layer of cultivation should also be prepared early."

Chen Jichuan had the experience of cultivation in the Dao Fruit World and a relatively tight plan for real-world cultivation.

He vigorously, with regulation and order, caught up, only to hope to keep pace with the progress in the Dao Fruit World.

"Stay at home, cultivate in peace."

"The most important thing is the art of alchemy and artifact refining. This is the way to make money, whether it’s acquiring Source Power or buying pills, Secret Techniques, etc., it all requires money. With my First-order proficiency in alchemy and artifacts, it can barely support the early stage, and there’s no major issue until the mid-stage of Qi Refining. But by the late stage, it will be insufficient."

Chen Jichuan was clear in his heart.

He wasn’t just cultivating Qi Refining, but external skills and Daoist skills also required various resources.

With only himself, and with only First-order proficiency in alchemy and artifact refining, it would become difficult as he reaches the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, Core Formation, and Night Travel, leading to a situation of ’cultivation waiting for resources’, rather than the present ’resources waiting for cultivation’ comfort.

"Therefore."

"Upon entering the new world, alchemy and artifact refining still need to be prioritized!"

Chen Jichuan resolved in his heart.

He began today’s cultivation.

Qi Refining.

External skills.

Daoist skills.

Cultivation of the three paths in sequence, without needing excessive pondering or insight, as they were all about accumulation and repetition, not taking much time.

As for magic and the like, there’s even less need to practice in the real world.

All can be placed in the Dao Fruit World.

A round of practice.

When cultivation was completed, Chen Jichuan took another tour around the shop he had taken over in the Fire Dragon Cave Market.

He replenished the pills, Magic Artifacts, and Magical Treasures he sold, and screened orders placed by Qi Refining cultivators, selecting ones suitable for his kind of ’schedule’ to take on.

Then he returned to the cave abode, shutting himself in for alchemy and artifact refining, completing orders, and earning Spirit Stones or other resources.

Half a day passed in a blink.

Chen Jichuan timed it precisely, maintained the Pill Furnace Fire and Artifact Furnace Fire, letting them refine slowly. He took a break, eating three large bowls of spirit rice made from ’Jade Marrow Rice’.

Allowing the gentle Spiritual Power to circulate within his body, following the cultivation technique, and be refined, transforming into pure Mana.

Then.

Chen Jichuan closed his eyes and entered the consciousness sea.

...

Inside the Green Lotus Jade Pendant.

On the third stem, beside a lotus flower, three buds were about to bloom, with millions of silver threads dancing chaotically in the stem, bringing joy to others.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jichuan received a surge of information—

[Would you like to consume one million Source Power to make a flower bloom in a world?]

With the experience from the previous four times, Chen Jichuan was no stranger to this, and he immediately thought: "Yes!"

In the next moment.

The flower blooms, and I see myself.

...

[Ding!]

[Arrived in a new world, detecting....]

[Detection completed.]

[Current world to Master’s world time flow rate is 400:1]

[Master being deployed, 5..4..3..2..1]

Entering the lotus flower.

The world spun.

Upon opening his eyes, it was a newly emerged world.

...
