CHAPTER 653: CHAPTER 486: LYING LOW! KEEP LYING LOW! DILIGENT CULTIVATION! KEEP CULTIVATING!

Hundreds of thousands of nearly source jade.

Millions of years of arduous cultivation.

And this is just one Divine Skill.

And Chen Jichuan has as many as twenty-three such Divine Skills.

"In the True Immortal stage, there’s no need to consider ordinary independent cultivator immortals without Divine Skills. But when facing Daoist True Immortals of the same level, at least one Divine Skill at the Fourth Realm is needed to not fall behind in the Divine Skills aspect."

Daoist True Immortals all have Divine Skills to rely on, including veteran True Immortals who have been cultivating for many years and have cultivated one or even two Divine Skills to the Fourth Realm.

Currently, Chen Jichuan relies on his Divine Skills, and on the True Sect Level "Five Five Great Expansion True Scripture," surpassing Fourth Realm, Fourth Step True Immortals like the East River Palace Master and Qianming Palace Master is not difficult, but he does not have much advantage against Fifth Step and Sixth Step True Immortals.

"The older the True Immortal, the stronger."

"With my current strength, I can contend with Daoist True Immortals who have cultivated for millions of years. But those veteran True Immortals who have been cultivating for over a million years, each has their forte, and their vast Divine Skills make them hard to deal with."

Chen Jichuan has a clear understanding of his own strength.

When he was at the Fourth-order, with all his Third Realm Divine Skills, he could sweep invincibly and even contend with Black Vulture Emperor, such as a backward True Immortal.

However, after proving himself as a True Immortal, any True Immortal with Divine Skills has cultivated their Divine Skills to the Third Realm.

For True Immortals, this is not difficult.

Chen Jichuan’s advantage in Divine Skills has already been neutralized; he must further advance to continue to have an advantage among peers.

"Now, besides enhancing Daoist cultivation, the most important thing is to improve mastery of Divine Skills."

"I have ’Enlightenment’, one year as a hundred years."

"Ordinary True Immortals might take millions of years to cultivate a Divine Skill to the Fourth Realm, but I only need ten thousand years. Given one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand years, I may even master one or two Divine Skills reaching the Fifth Realm. At that time, even if Daoist cultivation remains stagnant at the First Realm, relying on Divine Skills and the foundation of my True Sect Level Cultivation Method, contending with Third Realm True Immortals would not be difficult, and facing Fourth Realm True Immortals might not be impossible."

Chen Jichuan, armed with the Miao Fa, after proving Dao as a True Immortal and breaking through a shackle, guards the ’Ancient Immortal Battlefield.’ With the Divine Skill of ’Avatar Technique,’ the old and challenging source jade problem is also resolved.

Now, only time is lacking.

"Hibernating for a hundred thousand years."

"Even two hundred thousand years."

"By then, the world is vast, and I can go anywhere."

"If I have a million years, it’s not necessarily impossible to dominate the True Immortal Realm."

Chen Jichuan has ambitions, aiming straight for ’invincible among True Immortals,’ hence he can endure patiently. Not only does he plan to stay in the Golden Wind Mountain and Sea for five thousand years, but he also plans to continue staying thereafter.

Ten to twenty thousand years is too short; one hundred to two hundred thousand years is just a start.

As for when to emerge.

"When the advancement of Divine Skills becomes difficult, then it’s not too late to go out."

The Daoist sect has several Ancient Immortal Battlefields, with vast amounts of source jade within. With no shortage of source jade, there is no shortage of resources. With no shortage of resources, Divine Skills can advance rapidly.

Even if stalled at the Fourth Realm or Fifth Realm, Chen Jichuan has a total of twenty-three Divine Skills and can even derive more Divine Skills. Cultivating each to the extreme, ten to twenty thousand years is far from enough.

"No need to rush."

"With endless lifespan as a True Immortal, there’s no need to venture out if further advancement is possible."

Chen Jichuan’s thoughts are simple.

With Dharma Domain Avatars and Divine Power Avatars wandering outside, it is entirely sufficient. His true self stays honestly in the Golden Wind Mountain and Sea, ensuring his life, which is the correct path.

With this mindset, Chen Jichuan continues to immerse himself in diligent cultivation in the coming time.

Guiyuan Cangtian Technique.

Dayan Divination Method.

Avatar Technique.

Transformation Technique.

Wind Thunder Walking.

Vajra Mantra.

Five Elements Escape Technique.

Daluo Heavenly Sleeve.

Heaven Mending Seal.

...

Each Divine Skill is improving, advancing rapidly.

After ascending to True Immortal, Divine Skills that were difficult to improve before once again advance rapidly.

The first Divine Skill Chen Jichuan focuses on cultivating is the ’Guiyuan Cangtian Technique.’

[Divine Skill: Guiyuan Cangtian Technique]

[Level: Ordinary]

[Description: This technique can hide one’s essence in the void, conceal one’s aura, deceive heavenly secrets, and not fall within the Three Realms and Five Elements. Cause and effect and heavenly secrets are hidden, undetectable.]

This Divine Skill excels in concealment, can obscure heavenly secrets, and is quite similar to the ’Dark Universe’ of the One Origin Dao Sect, both can isolate cause and effect.

Chen Jichuan’s true self does not emerge, while his avatars are numerous; in the future, it’s inevitable that True Immortals of the Third Realm or Fourth Realm will come to investigate his foundation. Ordinary True Immortals are not to be feared, but if one possesses corresponding Divine Skills and Immortal Artifacts, Chen Jichuan would also be apprehensive.

Merely the Third Realm ’Guiyuan Cangtian Technique’ is far from sufficient.

"Fourth Realm."

"Fifth Realm."

Only reaching the Fourth Realm ensures safety. If the Fifth Realm is achieved, perhaps even the Ancient Immortals among the twelve Big Heaven and Earth could be deceived.

In conjunction with the ’Avatar Technique,’ Chen Jichuan’s capability for self-preservation becomes truly unparalleled.

Divine Skills ascend.

After ascending to True Immortal, the previously shallow foundation is rapidly being reinforced.

Chen Jichuan systematically fills in each weakness.

Concealment.

Self-preservation.

Attack and defense.

All are being vigorously pursued, gradually catching and surpassing.

Cultivating Divine Skills is tremendously costly.

One Divine Skill requires at least over ten thousand catties of source jade, and more than hundreds of thousands of catties of source jade, which new True Immortals can scarcely bear.

Fortunately, Chen Jichuan has the ’Avatar Technique’ and the ’Ancient Immortal Battlefield.’

The combination of both results in a complete lack of shortage of source jade.

When he first arrived at the ’Ancient Immortal Battlefield’ and obtained his initial source jade, he roughly estimated that he could gain about two thousand catties of source jade every ten thousand years.

But in reality, it proved he was too conservative.
