In the following days.
Chen Jichuan traveled all over Panlong Mountain, his tunneling speed was astonishing, not inferior to ordinary Divinity Transformation cultivators.
After trading with the Flowing Mist Immortal Sect, he ventured to the remaining eight sects in Dragon Scale Domain, conducting transactions—so involving three to five high-level techniques, others with only one or two secret techniques.
From these sects, he earned anywhere between hundreds of thousands to over a million Spirit Crystals.
Chen Jichuan’s wealth was rapidly expanding—
Dragon Scale Domain: 7.2 million Spirit Crystals.
Dragon Head Domain: 5 million Spirit Crystals.
Dragon Horn Domain: 8 million Spirit Crystals.
Dragon Tail Domain: 17 million Spirit Crystals.
Apart from the ’Four Claw Domain’ where the Four Great Immortal Sects are located, Chen Jichuan explored the Four Domains, trading with major sects like the ’Flowing Mist Immortal Sect.’
In total, he sold 104 different high-level techniques, along with one refined-level skill in the ’Heavenly Fire Sect’ of Dragon Tail Domain.
He amassed a staggering 37.2 million Spirit Crystals.
Holding nurous techniques and skills, Chen Jichuan himself was like a priceless treasure trove. Once unleashed for sale, this trove could swiftly be converted into unimaginable wealth.
Like now.
By selling only a very small part of the skills he rembered, he had already exchanged them for 37.2 million Spirit Crystals, equivalent to 372,000 chunks of Primordial Stones.
In the Starry Sky World, an ordinary First Realm Divinity Transformation cultivator’s assets rarely exceed 100,000 Primordial Stones.
Even ordinary Second Realm Divinity Transformation cultivators typically only have 300,000 or 400,000 worth of wealth.
But the fortune Chen Jichuan earned in such a short ti had already caught up with those of the Second Realm Divinity Transformation cultivators.
...
37.2 million Spirit Crystals.
A considerable portion was converted by Chen Jichuan into standard Spirit Stones, which were then transford into Source Power for cultivation.
Another portion.
So exchanged for Spiritual dicine.
So exchanged for refining materials.
With the formidable influence of nurous major sects, the high-order Spiritual dicines and high-level refining materials available both publicly and privately in Panlong Mountain’s market were nearly swept clean.
Moreover.
For the first ti, Chen Jichuan walked freely through Panlong Mountain, dealing with nurous major sects. Beyond transactions, he also engaged in casual conversations with sect leaders to learn more about the inner workings of Panlong Mountain.
As the days passed.
Chen Jichuan’s interactions with major sects grew, deepening his understanding of Panlong Mountain. His confidence grew stronger as well.
Ultimately, this business of profiting from skill sales spread across all of Panlong Mountain.
Six months later.
Having road far and wide.
Chen Jichuan did not rush back to Seven Mysterious Mountain, but instead, he arrived at a secluded location in the Dragon Tail Domain called ’Hegang Realm,’ found an isolated deep mountain, and set up the ’Small Suru Right and Left Nine Palace Immortal Formation.’
To use it as a retreat for closed-door cultivation.
...
Dragon Tail Domain.
Hegang Realm.
Inside the mountain cave, Chen Jichuan sat cross-legged, organizing the intelligence he had gathered from the various sects over the past six months in his mind. He felt both relieved and slightly troubled.
"Panlong Mountain resembles a ’Trapped Dragon,’ with all directions surrounded by ’Mysterious Realms,’ layered with countless dangers that trap billions of lives inside the 99,000 mountains."
"Even top-level Immortal Sects like ’Ten Thousand Sword Sect,’ ’Seven Treasures Sect,’ ’Fantian Mountain,’ and ’Rash Sea’ are completely in the dark about the outside of Panlong Mountain."
"The Four Sect Divinity Transformation cultivators frequently enter the ’Mysterious Realm,’ gaining substantial benefits but are equally unable to escape, confined to this corner."
Chen Jichuan had initially worried that Panlong Mountain might harbor hidden Great Powers or that there could be more Third Realm experts or even Fourth Realm Great Powers outside Panlong Mountain.
But the intelligence he acquired over six months allowed Chen Jichuan to relax: "The claims of various sects seem consistent, they should be true."
Panlong Mountain.
Trapped Dragon Mountain.
Isolated from the world.
Neither the generations of True Persons in major sects nor the Divinity Transformation Ancestors of the Four Great Immortal Sects could escape Panlong Mountain, blocked by the so-called ’Mysterious Realm.’
This is a predicant.
But for Chen Jichuan at the mont, it was a rare opportunity to develop steadily.
"With Panlong Mountain confined like this, without powerful forces or Fourth Realm Great Powers intervening, I can act with much more freedom."
Chen Jichuan felt reassured.
This was also the reason he dared to expand his business of skill sales to such an extent, amassing a large fortune in a short ti.
However, he had to consider the future.
"For now, Panlong Mountain’s isolation seems like good news."
"But in the Dao Fruit World, I have already reached the Divinity Transformation Third Realm, possess the ’Qilin Treasure dicine,’ and the peak of Divinity Transformation is within reach."
"Sooner or later, my cultivation in the real world will catch up."
"But even if I reach Divinity Transformation, will I still be trapped in Panlong Mountain?"
"After reaching Divinity Transformation, can Panlong Mountain’s resources sustain my rapid progress and cultivation?"
People without foresight are bound to have imdiate worries.
This issue allowed no bypass.
Whether it’s a few decades or several centuries, Chen Jichuan would face this problem eventually.
"Panlong Mountain."
"Trapped Dragon Mountain."
"I should start connecting with the Divinity Transformation Ancestors of the Four Great Immortal Sects, or so of the Divinity Transformation cultivators and Old Demons within Panlong Mountain sooner rather than later."
Chen Jichuan pondered deeply.
Major sects like Flowing Mist Immortal Sect within Panlong Mountain have only superficial knowledge of the so-called ’Mysterious Realm.’
By comparison, the Divinity Transformation Venerables are likely to know more.
"Idle speculation now is of no use; I must connect with the Divinity Transformation cultivators."
Chen Jichuan thought to himself.
But at the mont, there was no ti for that, as he was ready for the next stage of cultivation—training the ’Divine Splitting Technique.’
"The sooner I achieve Divine Separation, the sooner I can resolve the awkwardness of ti allocation between the real world and Dao Fruit World."
Chen Jichuan sorted the collected intelligence on Panlong Mountain and finalized his upcoming plan. Only then did he settle his mind and begin the cultivation of the ’Divine Splitting Technique’!
...
Inside the mountain cave.
At midnight.
Chen Jichuan set up the Dharma Platform, standing atop it, performing Gang Steps while chanting the spell for ’Divine Splitting and Thought Transformation’: "Transform the self, transform to the true self, transford as True Martial General, one transforms into Shakyamuni Buddha, two into Lord Li, three into my master’s true teachings, four into four bodies and four armored soldiers, five into waves across the five lakes, six into six armors, six Bings and Dings, seven as Moxian exploring the underworld, eight as Dong Yong selling himself, nine as Nine Heavens and the Celestial Maiden, ten as tenfold and Thunder God. I summon the three souls and seven spirits of my disciples to return; I solemnly invite the Southern Dipper Six Stars, Beidou Seven Stars. I invoke Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, act urgently by divine decree."
In the heavens and earth, Immortals and deities exist.
When the ti is right, one borrows their power.
Chen Jichuan had earlier perfected his understanding of the ’Divine Splitting Technique’ in the Dao Fruit World, morizing all aspects of it, such as setting up the Dharma Platform, drawing talismans, and more.
Only the key to ’Divine Separation’ remained elusive and uncertain.
But with his advancent to Divinity Transformation Third Realm, all keys were clear. The technique was seamlessly integrated, devoid of ambiguities.
After careful preparation.
He could now finally put it into practice.
Chen Jichuan recited spell techniques, the talismans on the Dharma Platform fluttered in the wind, emitting spiritual light. He sat cross-legged at its center, feeling the moon above and the earth below.
The entirety of his being surrounded by the embrace of heaven and earth.
His mind expanded infinitely.
His thoughts relaxed boundlessly.
Profound mysteries enveloped his heart, and his Divine Soul in his consciousness sea beca indistinct.
Suddenly, it seed as though a blade silently descended between heaven and earth, striking his Divine Soul. The blade was soundless and caused no pain when it struck, but with a single cut, Chen Jichuan’s Divine Soul instantly split into two—one part tall, the other short.
Muddled.
Vaguely.
Both bore the appearance of Chen Jichuan.
The two figures, one larger and one smaller, faced each other, stretching arms and legs—
"Divine Separation!"
"It’s done!"
...
Another half a year passed.
Chen Jichuan ended his closed-door cultivation, announcing his success.
The ’Divine Splitting and Thought Transformation’ turned out much easier than expected—the spell casting went smoothly, allowing him to effortlessly split his Divine Soul into two. The only challenge lay in the lengthy adjustnt and re-nourishing of his consud soul and the high costs associated.
Fortunately, there was nothing pressing in the Dao Fruit World for now.
And Chen Jichuan greatly profited from selling skills.
Thus financially and temporally, everything remained manageable.
As for himself.
Upon careful introspection.
Both fragnts of his soul remained within his body and consciousness sea; neither was missing.
Yet Chen Jichuan felt distinctly—
"I’ve grown dull!"
"My intuition and intelligence are more sluggish than before. Though this isn’t apparent in normal circumstances, the difference becos noticeable when comprehending the sa technique before and after separation—my clarity was better before separation, but afterward, it’s distinctly slower."
This was the drawback of ’Divine Separation.’
For ordinary Second-order True Persons, recklessly practicing such a technique would undoubtedly ruin their futures.
But Chen Jichuan was unfazed.
"After all, I don’t study techniques or skills in reality."
"If I’m a little dull in reality, so be it."
With that thought, Chen Jichuan activated the Green Lotus Jade Pendant, accessing its ’Central Continent World Dao Fruit,’ and entered the ’Central Continent World.’
The world spun around him.
One fragnt of his soul consciousness entered the Dao Fruit World.
In reality.
Chen Jichuan remained alert, his face soon lighting up in satisfaction.
"As expected."
"While my Divine Soul is divided in the real world, in the Dao Fruit World, my soul and body are reford perfectly—none of my essence is diminished, allowing my cultivation and enlightennt to remain unaffected."
"It worked!"
Chen Jichuan operated with a dual focus.
Two fragnts of his soul.
One dedicated to the Dao Fruit World.
One attending to the real world.
The four-hundredfold ti difference had never felt so pronounced—Chen Jichuan experienced it as though one hand was operating on fast forward while the other moved in slow motion.
This created an unsettling sense of disparity.
Initially, it was difficult to adapt.
But thanks to his cultivation level, being in the Divinity Transformation Third Realm in Dao Fruit World and a True Person Fourth Layer Heaven level in reality, Chen Jichuan possessed extraordinary adaptive abilities.
With ti passing.
Chen Jichuan grew accustod to this bizarre sensation prompted by the four-hundredfold ti disparity, eliminating all adverse effects.
"Sharpening the blade doesn’t delay cutting wood!"
"Now that Divine Separation is complete, I can manage both the real world and the Dao Fruit World simultaneously."
"I’m finally liberated from the constant strain!"
Chen Jichuan let out a deep breath, feeling profound happiness in his heart.
For years, he had been troubled by the ti allocation between reality and the Dao Fruit World.
The real world couldn’t be neglected; it was foundational. It required ti for cultivation and ntal energy for earning resources for cultivation.
Every mont was precious.
Chen Jichuan had constantly been pushed to his limits.
From his ti in Black Prison.
To the days after his escape.
And then during these years in Panlong Mountain.
Chen Jichuan had always sought balance.
In a day of twelve hours.
He would devote six hours to reality and six hours to the Dao Fruit World, maintaining this schedule till this day.
Every day in reality was ticulously planned.
Chen Jichuan spent his ti in seclusion—
No ti for socialization.
No ti for leisure.
He even rarely spent ti eting his fifth brother, Chen Shaohu.
