Within the sea of consciousness.
The lotus flower blood magnificently, dazzling the world.
As its radiance surged forth, mories of past lives erged. The experiences of two lifetis across 24,445 years in the Starry Sky World flooded into his heart—
...
Upon first arriving at Wuhe Star, imprisoned within the talisman making workshop. Five years of lurking, shedding his shell like a golden cicada. Leaving Golden Corner City, entering Shiwu City, where he began his rise.
...
A hundred years of arduous cultivation in Shiwu City, his reputation began to erge. He was called the ’Four Extres True Person,’ ’Longevity Master,’ and ’Prison Mountain Master.’ At age one hundred, he rose to the rank of True Person.
...
Returning to Golden Corner City, he obliterated the Yuanchen Chamber of Comrce, exacting his long-held revenge.
...
Entering the Sword City, the main city of the Galaxy Sword Sect, he joined Galaxy Academy, one of the ’Ten Halls and Two Prefectures,’ as a lecturer. He vanquished his foes, first encountered Xiao Lan, acquired the ’Fire Phoenix Ring,’ and t Gan Chen for the first ti.
...
Subduing Gan Chen, he obtained Immortal Vine Fruits and inherited the teachings of the Nine Peak Daoist, ultimately advancing to the Divinity Transformation stage.
...
Roaming the Starry Sky, braving countless dangers and encountering nurous fortuitous opportunities. After the battle at Qilin Mountain, he acquired the ’Qilin Treasure dicine,’ achieving the peak of Divinity Transformation, becoming undefeated in the Starry Sky, with a solitude as cold as snow.
...
His first life concluded, his second life began. Retracing the path of cultivation, he quickly reigned undefeated. Yet, as his lifespan ended, he was unable to break through, resorting to becoming an Independent Immortal through Soldier Dissolution. He endured eleven rounds of Immortal Tribulations, attaining the Eleventh Tribulation stage and earning the title ’God of Slaughter’ as he dominated the Starry Sky.
...
A thousand years later, the twelfth round of Immortal Tribulation descended. Failing to overco it, he ultimately perished, his soul scattered.
...
"One lifeti."
"Over again."
The mories replayed, and suddenly, more than twenty thousand years had passed. A lifeti seed to flash by. Chen Jichuan ca to his senses and could not help but let out a long sigh.
His first life ended tragically, ending in his self-destruction.
In his second life,
he faced the apocalyptic twelfth round of Independent Immortal Tribulation. Though Chen Jichuan exhausted all asures, his cultivation fell short by a sliver. When the ninth round of Tribulation Lightning descended, with only the second-to-last bolt to go, he was obliterated with no remains left behind.
After brief darkness.
When Chen Jichuan saw light again, he found himself in the sea of consciousness.
Before him,
a lotus flower.
...
"Lotus flower."
Chen Jichuan set aside distracting thoughts, cald his mind, and focused on the sea of consciousness.
The lotus flower shimred, and suddenly a lotus pod ford, its fragrant lotus seeds revealed.
Strands of information intertwined.
"Dao Fruit."
"Lotus Seed."
Twenty-four thousand four hundred and forty-five years of life, twenty thousand nine hundred and sixty-four years of cultivation, left countless marks of ti on Chen Jichuan. Each one of them a treasured piece of history.
He wandered the Starry Sky World, discussing and exchanging insights with Divinity Transformation cultivators and battling for life and death against Independent Immortals.
In the Ten Wheel Star, and within the Wuhe Immortal Sect, he ntored younger disciples, nurturing a generation of Divinity Transformation cultivators.
He searched far and wide for ancient texts, seeking out the great powers of the Starry Sky to acquire classics from their sects.
He read through countless volus of books.
Accumulating and refining his knowledge, growing ever deeper.
His experience and wisdom grew increasingly profound.
His Daoist cultivation and level beca all the more refined.
Through twelve rounds of Immortal Tribulations, he endured repeated tempering and forging, as if he were a precious sword gaining countless polish. Though his edge was concealed, his inner spirit was undeniably extraordinary.
The trials of ti refined his state of mind.
Even as he achieved the possession of another ’Dao Fruit World,’ his heart was calm and composed.
A thought stirred.
Chen Jichuan connected with the sixth Dao Fruit in the sea of consciousness—

...
Looking at the final ’Immortal Record’ panel from the Starry Sky World, a smile spread across Chen Jichuan’s face.
These two lifetis were long and arduous.
But his gains were imnse.
Most importantly, his cultivation level—
"Independent Immortal, Eleventh Tribulation!"
This required no elaboration.
On the road to Divinity Transformation, finding breakthroughs proved difficult. As the lifespan of his second lifeti approached its end, he opted for a different path, becoming an Independent Immortal through Soldier Dissolution. He overca one tribulation after another, ultimately achieving the Eleventh Tribulation stage, only to fall during the twelfth tribulation.
In terms of Daoist cultivation and achievents, this was equivalent to Initial Fourth-order.
"Next lifeti."
"I won’t need Soldier Dissolution anymore. After the Primordial Spirit Nine Transformations, I can directly ascend to Fourth-order!"
A sense of delight gripped Chen Jichuan’s heart.
This ti, two lifetis spanning over twenty thousand years of cultivation finally allowed him to fully conquer the Third-order and break through to Fourth-order. The lengthy years and the struggle of cultivation etched profound mories onto his soul.
But conversely, the thrill of success felt all the sweeter and more precious.
"Fourth-order!"
"Fourth-order!"
The joy on Chen Jichuan’s face reflected his anticipation for the glorious scenery awaiting him after his promotion in the next life.
But cultivation wasn’t the only gain.
Skills.
Techniques.
Cultivation arts.
All saw trendous progress over these two lifetis in the Starry Sky World.
The level of mastery was one aspect—
For instance, in skills.
Alchemy, artifact crafting, talisman formation, all reached the Third-order. Alchemy and formation were even approaching Fourth-order.
For instance, in techniques.
His primary cultivation techniques reached the pinnacle of the Fifth Realm, and eight of them advanced to the Sixth Realm, making him formidable even among Fourth-order Great Powers.
For instance, in cultivation arts.
Four cultivation arts were fully integrated, allowing seamless progression to Fourth-order.
Beyond mastery, the grades of techniques and cultivation arts were another critical elent.
"Four True Sect Level cultivation arts."
"One Divine Skill!"
These two lifetis yielded invaluable advancents in arts and techniques.
Among more than twenty super-level techniques he primarily cultivated, this was noteworthy.
But in these lifetis—
With the help of the ’Seven Treasures Pond’ left behind by the Suru Immortal Sect, Chen Jichuan successfully advanced the ’Vermilion Bird Glaze Scripture,’ the ’Azure Dragon Longevity Scripture,’ and the ’Xuanwu Black Water Scripture’ to True Sect Level one after the other.
Then he worked on advancing the ’Najia Divination thod.’
To upgrade a super-level cultivation thod to a Divine Skill was slightly more difficult than elevating a side door level cultivation thod to True Sect Level.
Chen Jichuan consud all pools of ’Eight Dharma Water,’ exhausting them completely, to achieve seven advancents.
During the Independent Immortal phase,
Chen Jichuan, aided by the Seven Treasures Pond, persistently cultivated and managed two more advancents.
By the end of this lifeti, as the Tribulation Lightning struck and he lingered between life and death, Chen Jichuan consud his remaining cultivation power to complete the final advancent.
The profundity of ’Najia Divination thod’ surpassed anything he had previously experienced.
It deserved the na ’Dayan Divination thod.’
"The number of greatness in Dayan is fifty yet uses forty-nine. Divided into two for coupling, leaving one for triplicity, combining four to represent the seasons, and gathering remnants to model intercalations. Five years take two intercalations, hence two domains are connected thereafter. Heaven has five numbers; Earth has five numbers. The five placents correlate to achieve harmony. The numbers of Heaven comprise twenty-five, and of Earth comprise thirty. All numbers of Heaven and Earth total fifty-five, thus enabling transformation and the invocation of spirits and gods. The patterns of Qian comprise two hundred and sixteen; Kun comprises one hundred and forty-four; making a sum of three hundred sixty to correlate the days of the cycle. The patterns of two divisions total fifteen thousand five hundred and twenty; encompassing the count of all entities. Therefore, four bases structure the Yi, eighteen variations build the hexagrams, eight hexagrams complete minor phases, extending them yields groupings while detailing prolongs them, completing everything under Heaven. The tasks are thus concluded."
The ’Dayan Divination thod’ was the sixty-four hexagrams’ extrapolation thod, using ’cosmic numbers’ for calculations. It was also called the ’Celestial Expansion Technique.’
"The ’Dayan Divination thod’ far exceeds the ’Najia Divination thod.’"
This marked Chen Jichuan’s first Divine Skill!
Originally at the Sixth Realm of mastery, it dropped instantly to the Second Realm. But in terms of effectiveness and profundity, it surpassed its previous state.
...
"Fourth-order."
"Divine Skill."
"This lifeti has been worth it!"
Cherished joy lit Chen Jichuan’s face, though he did not overindulge in the delight.
After briefly reviewing the achievents of his two lifetis,
He prepared to condense affiliated Dao Fruits and initiate the next Dao Fruit World.
[Would you like to consu 3.2 billion Source Power to form 32 affiliated Dao Fruits?]
[Would you like to consu 10 billion Source Power to bloom into a world?]
"10 billion Source Power?"
Chen Jichuan paused.
The sum wasn’t particularly significant.
billion Source Power.
Equivalent to 1 million Standard Spirit Stones.
Worth 50,000 Spirit Crystals.
Or 5,000 Primordial Stones.
For the reality-bound Chen Jichuan, already a Divinity Transformation cultivator, this wasn’t a fortune.
Selling two or three high-level techniques was sufficient to earn this.
What surprised him was—
"It’s always been a tenfold increase. This ti it’s multiplied by a hundred?"
Chen Jichuan furrowed his brows.
Then quickly relaxed them.
"Even a hundredfold is nothing."
"It’s rely 5,000 Primordial Stones."
"Even for the next Dao Fruit World, multiplying by a hundred again would be only 50,000 Primordial Stones."
"Earning this isn’t difficult."
After his brief surprise, Chen Jichuan quickly recomposed himself—
"Condense!"
"Bloom!"
Condensing Dao Fruits.
Blooming into a world.
Chen Jichuan possessed only slightly over 5 billion Source Power, but he had already prepared ample Standard Spirit Stones.
Soon enough.
The 14.2 billion Source Power was gathered, and 32 affiliated Dao Fruits were ford, each representing top-tier cultivators Chen Jichuan had encountered in the Starry Sky World. Each specialized in alchemy, artifact refinent, talisman making, or other unique skills.
Each one was also an Independent Immortal.
The weakest among them were Eleventh Tribulation Immortals.
Chen Jichuan had been undefeated for nearly 20,000 years within the Starry Sky, encountering countless top-tier Independent Immortals. He observed countless tribulations, sending them off on their paths.
After 20,000 years of effort.
The selection pool available to him now was vast, allowing him to carefully choose the best of the best.
The 32 affiliated Dao Fruits were swiftly settled.
Then he moved on to initiate a new Dao Fruit World—
[Ding!]
[Arrived at new world, detecting...]
[Detection complete.]
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[Current world level is high. Unable to deploy Master for now. Parsing...]
[Current parsing progress 1/100]
...
As always, it took 100 years.
In reality, three months would need to pass for him to truly enter.
Familiar with the process by now, Chen Jichuan did not rush. He continued his tasks in the real world.
