CHAPTER 551: CHAPTER 439: THE 7TH ’DAO FRUIT’! [VOTE FOR MONTHLY TICKETS!]

Inside the sea of consciousness.

The lotus blooms, dazzling the world.

As radiance surges forth, memories of past lives emerge, fourteen million, three hundred and ninety-eight thousand, two years of experiences in the Chongming World flood into his mind—

...

At the very beginning of entering Chongming, his family was destroyed and lives were shattered. Two orphans from a dilapidated temple were taken into the sect, allowing Chen Jichuan to smoothly commence his cultivation journey.

...

After years of secluded cultivation, by chance he obtained the ’Purple Mansion Immortal Gourd,’ encountered his first Immortal Treasure, heard of the Heavenly Venerate for the first time, and made his initial contact with Upper Immortals.

...

In seclusion within the ’Purple Mansion Immortal Gourd,’ he charged forth to achieve Divinity Transformation, and after leaving, he swept through the Divine Capital with unrelenting force.

...

Traveling freely, he headed west in search of immortals, encountered the ’Seven Mysterious Mountain,’ and acquired the ’Seven Mysterious Flying Ants.’

...

Arriving at the Star Constellation Sea, entering the Eight Extremes Holy Hall, he advanced to Fourth-order, earning the title of Upper Immortal from that point onward.

...

Secluding himself on Mishen Island for twenty thousand years, he solidified his foundations.

...

Together, they entered the void, fighting over the ’Nine Treasures Glazed Tower,’ meeting Wang Yan yet failing to recognize one another.

...

Stepping into the Immortal Gate Realm, he earned the title ’Tyrant,’ marking the beginning of his invincible rise.

...

Reuniting with Wang Yan, they lived blissfully together for forty thousand years.

...

The final battle outside the Immortal Gate, sweeping through the Nine Heavens, reaching its conclusion. He bid farewell to Wang Yan, bid farewell to Yu Ming Immortal Venerable, and embarked on his solitary pursuit of the Dao thereafter.

...

"A lifetime."

"Over, once again."

Past scenes flashing one by one, over ten million years passed in a blink of an eye, Chen Jichuan came to his senses and let out a long sigh.

This lifetime was exceedingly short, yet extraordinarily lengthy.

To reunite with Wang Yan and share forty thousand years together, he felt it was brief.

After their parting, cultivating alone for seventy to eighty thousand years, he felt it was long.

In this life, he sought the Fifth-order, cultivating for over ten million years, yet ultimately remained stuck at Fourth Realm Ninth Layer, unable to ascend.

It was truly a great regret.

Without attaining Fifth-order, he was ultimately unable to escape the mortal limitations of life and death.

Chen Jichuan cultivated to Fourth-order, gaining forty-eight thousand years of lifespan. Upon ascending as Heavenly Venerate, he absorbed immortal energy in the Nine Heavens, adding another forty-eight thousand years to his lifespan. Through practicing the "Five Five Great Expansion True Scripture" and acquiring the longevity properties of the "Azure Dragon Longevity Scripture", his lifespan extended once again by forty-eight thousand years.

Thus, he lived for a total of fourteen million, four hundred thousand years this life — extraordinarily lengthy.

Yet, when death came, he still had to succumb to age, ultimately passing away on Fierce Bird Mountain.

After a brief darkness.

When Chen Jichuan next encountered light, he found himself back within this sea of consciousness.

Before him.

A lotus flower.

...

"Lotus flower."

Chen Jichuan cast aside distracting thoughts and steadied his mind, gazing into the sea of consciousness.

The lotus shimmered brilliantly, and suddenly a lotus seat emerged, fragrant lotus seeds resting within.

Strands of information intertwined.

"Dao Fruit."

"Lotus seeds."

Fourteen million, four hundred thousand years of experiences, fourteen million, four hundred thousand years of cultivation — far surpassing ordinary Upper Immortals and Heavenly Venerates. For most of this time, he commanded the Chongming World and Immortal Gate Realm, his stature esteemed, his demeanor transformed.

While pondering the Dao and refining his cultivation, Chen Jichuan also devoured volumes upon volumes, reading through countless ancient texts numbering in the billions.

His knowledge and erudition were unparalleled in history, unmatched among Fourth-order cultivators.

Knowledge is power.

This holds especially true in cultivation.

Chen Jichuan never allowed a moment to pass in vain, nor did he waste the wealth of wisdom crystallized within each Dao Fruit World. With every venture into a Dao Fruit World, he scavenged for books and spent time extracting insights through reading.

Thus he grew astute.

And ever more astute.

These experiences and accumulated knowledge would become his foundation, igniting sparks of wisdom in his future quest for the Immortal Dao.

The lotus lay before him.

Time’s trials had tempered his mind long ago.

Even upon seizing another ’Dao Fruit World,’ the joy in his heart was easily kept in check.

With a mere flicker of thought.

Chen Jichuan reached out to the seventh ’Dao Fruit’ within his consciousness sea—

...

Gazing at his ’Immortal Record’ panel from his final moments in the Chongming World, Chen Jichuan’s heart was swept clean of lingering bitterness, a smile appearing on his face.

This life was long and enduring.

But his gains were manifold.

First and foremost was his cultivation—

"Fourth-order, Aspirational Fourth Realm Ninth Layer."

This is already the Fourth-order peak, just a step away from reaching the Fifth-order.

Though stalled in this lifetime, unable to break through, the accumulation delivered him a sufficient foundation. In his next life, as long as he can steadily cultivate to the Fourth-order peak, the hope for advancing to the Fifth-order is considerable.

It is said the Fifth-order Great Powers are eternal, untouched by aging or death. He wonders what such an existence will be like.

Chen Jichuan feels anticipation stirring.

It was not just his cultivation.

He harvested countless treasures in this lifetime.
