Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 71 - 52 Transforming Strength!
Chapter 71: Chapter 52 Transforming Strength!
This day.
Chen Jichuan was full of vigor in the courtyard, performing set after set of boxing routines.
At his level.
Whether quiet or active, everything is cultivation.
But Chen Jichuan still maintained the habit of practicing boxing daily, only then did he feel his muscles and bones relaxed.
After all, in the Great Yann World, he cultivated day and night for forty-seven years; upon arriving in the Da Liang World, sixty-five years had passed in a blink, and Chen Jichuan had continued to cultivate for thirty-three years without a single day’s rest.
It is difficult to change the habits cultivated over nearly a hundred years at once.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every set of punches and kicks was executed with relish.
Amateurs watch the fun, insiders watch the technique.
Only those who have reached the level of dark strength, or even transforming strength, can see that Chen Jichuan’s punches, kicks, and heart move as one. Every punch and kick seems ordinary but holds enormous hidden power that once erupts, can be like a mountain call and sea howl, taking lives and being unparalleled.
Unfortunately.
Chen Jichuan lived alone in the courtyard, with no one to cheer.
As he performed punches and kicks, he mobilized the dark strength to wash the five internal organs and six bowels, sparing not even the teeth, tongue, nails, and hair.
Dancing with shadows.
The dust rose and fell on Chen Jichuan. But Chen Jichuan’s hair seemed alive, trembling and shedding all the dust.
After a while of practicing.
There wasn’t a trace of dust on his body, still clean and refreshed.
By the age calculation of the Da Liang World, Chen Jichuan was already eighty-four years old. According to bone age, he was now fifty-one years old.
At the age where he should be gradually aging, with temples dyed in frost.
But on Chen Jichuan, not a trace of aging was visible, all believed him to still be a young man of twenty or thirty.
"After dark strength."
"Comes transforming strength."
"I have now initially reached the realm where not even a feather can be added, and no fly or insect can land, having practiced dark strength throughout the body, reaching anywhere at the thought, greatly slowing down the body’s aging, living to one hundred and twenty or thirty years would be easy."
Sixty-five years passed in a flash.
Thirty-three years of hard cultivation.
As early as over twenty years ago, Chen Jichuan had practiced his external skills to the level of dark strength.
Then he continued to ponder.
At the peak time of the ’Night Patrol Bureau’, he kept cultivating and battling, his combat experience greatly refined, and his understanding of martial arts furthered, seeing many dark strength experts, and even transforming strength grandmasters hardly seen in the Great Yann World, either through sparring or secret observation, he benefited greatly.
By the time the ’Night Patrol Bureau’ gradually declined.
The demons, once hidden, started stirring trouble again in the now bustling Dai County, and Chen Jichuan repeatedly struck, making a grand reputation.
Punching Dai County.
Kicking Meishan.
With few opponents.
Breaking through to the transforming strength level twenty years ago.
If it weren’t for the rampant chaos and poor communication, the name of Chen Jichuan from Baozhi Forest would have echoed throughout Da Liang long ago. Even so, in Meishan Prefecture, the nickname ’Immortal Chen’ is renowned, and no expert dares to ignore it.
Ordinary people would not step foot into Dai County.
"Cultivating martial arts starts with the muscles and bones."
"I have thoroughly practiced dark strength, which is to preliminarily practice the muscles and bones. But the cultivation of transforming strength, in fact, is divine communication, practicing the deeper, more critical ’bone marrow’."
Truly using martial arts to achieve divine communication, reaching the miraculous, is indispensable without this third step of ’Bone Marrow Changing’ skill.
Attaining transforming strength for twenty years, cultivating for ten years.
Based on previous foundations, Chen Jichuan has further fortified and solidified his muscles and bones. Now, he finally reaches this step of ’Bone Marrow Changing’.
"Practicing bones is easy."
"Changing marrow is difficult."
"And the bone marrow is hidden in the bone, no matter how much you train, it cannot be trained with strength, only one method, which is to guide through sound vibrations."
Chen Jichuan moved his punches and kicks.
At times he crouched on the ground like a fierce tiger, at others soaring into the sky like a golden eagle. His actions were open and closed, with faint ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ rumbling in his punches and kicks.
Mere rumblings were not enough.
It also requires the vibration of the bone to train the bone marrow, needing guidance.
Chen Jichuan kept changing and trying.
Finally.
Rumbling!
The sound penetrated the bone marrow, faintly heard near his ears, resembling the sound of water, striking through Chen Jichuan, shivering through his entire body, a sense of complete fluency, even a sense of ascending to immortality, intoxicating.
"Refreshing!"
"Refreshing!"
Chen Jichuan was overjoyed, knowing that he had trained the bone marrow. One sound marked a leap from zero to one, a qualitative leap.
Suppress his joy.
Keep trying.
Unfortunately.
Like a flash of divine insight or a coincidence, afterward, Chen Jichuan never reached that state, the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ rumbled incessantly but never again stirred the bone marrow.
Chen Jichuan knew that his fire was not yet ripe, so he didn’t force it.
He only waited for the future days of continuous practice and attempts, time and time again refining, believing that one day he could train it to perfection.
The sun sets in the west.
In the blink of an eye, it was dusk.
Chen Jichuan stopped cultivating and opened the ’Immortal Record’—
Name: Chen Jichuan [Second]
Age: 84
Immortal-order: None
Official position: None
Level: 7
Talent: Creation·Insight
Spells: Chen’s 72 Skills, Five Ghosts Yin Soldiers Skill, Divine Pouncing Saber, Taiyin Refining Body Technique, Circular Light Skill, Transformation Technique...etc.

...
Sixty-six years.
Thirty-three years.
Starting anew, Chen Jichuan made further progress on an already elevated state. The ’Chen’s 72 Skills’ advanced from ’dark strength’ to ’transforming strength’, breaking the ceiling first, allowing Chen Jichuan to be promoted to Level 7.
Aside from this.
In the cultivation skill, the ’Divine Pouncing Saber’ still remains at the Sixth Layer; without follow-up cultivation skills, it cannot enter the Seventh Layer Innate Realm.
And in the Da Liang World.
Innate skill is similarly rare. With Chen Jichuan’s ability, he searched far and wide across these years and found many secret martial arts manuals, mostly of the Postnatal Realm and unnecessary to switch cultivation.
As a result.
Chen Jichuan could only be stuck at the Sixth Layer.
Of course, even with the Innate Skill, Chen Jichuan doubted he could become an Innate Grandmaster.
He focused most of his efforts on pondering dark strength and transforming strength, cultivating the ’Taiyin Refining Body Technique’, and researching the ’Circular Light Skill’, ’Transformation Technique’, and ’Five Ghosts Yin Soldiers Skill’.
His energy was greatly dispersed.
Achieving transforming strength was due to Chen Jichuan’s past accumulation and persistent breakthroughs.
As for the others.
Not only did ’Divine Pouncing Saber’ remain stagnant, but in the aspect of ’Taiyin Refining Body Technique’, Chen Jichuan practiced Observation night after night. But this skill cannot be rushed, accumulating bit by bit every day and night, practicing solidly for thirty-three years, finally reaching the Fifth Layer, still a long way from the Daoist Skill Third Realm ’Soul Emergence Realm’.
Biting off more than one can chew.
This is the essence.
Fortunately.
Chen Jichuan also had priorities.
The first being the ’Chen’s 72 Skills’, but this only became a real focus after reaching transforming strength. After achieving transforming strength, it can be paused for a while.
The second.
Is the Five Ghosts Yin Soldiers Skill.
This truly takes priority.
In fact, from the start, this method was ranked first by Chen Jichuan!
