Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1089 - 317: This Is Fake Too?

"Have they started fighting?"

The Great Venerable walked in from outside the hall with a young man in purple, saw the intense battle displayed on the mirror, shook his head, and said, "It's fake. They wouldn't truly fight over this matter."

At this moment, the mirror already showed the scene of stars arrayed in the sky, with the Celestial Stars displayed within the Magic Realm. The Star Essence converged into the acupoint of Tianxuan, clearly demonstrating her Celestial Stars Body.

On the other side, the Primordial Lord Rain Master transformed into a dragon form. The Yinglong Dragon roared, celestial phenomena changed, and Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning struck against the stars.

Among all cultivators, devil cultivators have the strongest physical bodies, with Divine Dao Fruit practitioners slightly behind. However, due to the Divine Body abilities and divine skills associated with the Divine Dao Fruits stacking together, their physical strength is not inferior to that of devil cultivators.

At this point, Tianxuan displayed a physique no less than that of the Yinglong. The Celestial Stars Body battled the Yinglong fiercely, showing reason despite not employing extreme moves, making it clearly not an act.

"Fake?" The Heavenly Charm questioned hesitantly.

"Fake."

The Great Venerable confirmed once more, pacing casually to the front, smiling, and said, "Based on my years in the Dinghu Sect, though I haven't interacted much with Tianxuan, I can deduce her disposition from her usual ways."

"Back then, the Heavenly Monarch defeated Tianxuan to become the Sect Leader of the Dinghu Sect, using cunning tactics that caused internal splits in the Gongsun Family. Yet, Tianxuan still stabilized the situation and rivaled the Heavenly Monarch for years. Her capabilities are not to be underestimated. Don't be fooled by her seemingly siding against the Gongsun Family and the Ji Family right now. Without Jiang Li, she wouldn't be able to resist the Heavenly Monarch gradually achieving his goals. Her rational mind wouldn't allow her to lose composure and engage in a full-on fight with the Rain Master right now."

"At least, she would have to deal with the Heavenly Monarch first before settling other scores. Getting her to show some flaws earlier already met my expectations; if one becomes too greedy, they'll only fall into traps."

The Great Venerable's avatar, Elder Yun, had been lurking in the Dinghu Sect for years. Had Jiang Li's identity not been exposed, he might still be serving as the Artifact Pavilion Elder there.

Regarding Tianxuan, he didn't claim perfect understanding but could certainly judge that such actions are not typical of her.

"Not only I, but even the Heavenly Monarch wouldn't believe Tianxuan would attack the Primordial Lord Rain Master now," the Great Venerable smiled and continued, "Her drama underestimates both myself and the Heavenly Monarch."

Compared to the Great Venerable, the Heavenly Monarch should understand Tianxuan better. They've contested for years, and as far as the Great Venerable knows, the Heavenly Monarch even considered secretly eliminating Tianxuan.

Unfortunately, at the time the Emperor hadn't yet fallen into any treacherous plots. With him around, many methods couldn't be employed.

Tianxuan had once set a trap against the Immortal Queen around that time, then hid within the sect, hardly venturing out, avoiding assassination outside the sect, while ensuring the Emperor always kept some attention on the Dinghu Sect to prevent any covert actions by the Immortal Queen.

With the Plain Cloud Realm Flag's abilities, perhaps the Immortal Queen would indeed find a chance.

Moreover, the Emperor likely sensed another concern in Tianxuan's heart, justifying monitoring the Dinghu Sect closely.

Thus, Tianxuan managed to stand her ground against the Sect Leader, the Heavenly Monarch, for years. Such a person wouldn't lose her head in matters of emotion, let alone act so irrationally.

"If the Heavenly Monarch truly believes this act, he's blinded by Evil Qi, nearing his calamity."

The Great Venerable shook his head and concluded.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to hold her in high regard," Heavenly Charm remarked with deep surprise.

"She deserves it," the Great Venerable said. "After the Emperor was schemed against by the Heavenly Monarch and ultimately sealed by me, the Ji Family was nearly pushed to the brink. Yet, she pulled them back. Perhaps it was the Qi Shu of the Human Queen's Descendant not yet exhausted, which led her to Jiang Li, bringing together the Qi Shu of the two families. Even I didn't expect Jiang Li to progress so rapidly to this point, becoming the new pillar for the two families."

Without Jiang Li, the Ji Family would've either fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Monarch or been secretly harmed by the Great Venerable.

Due to Jiang Li's presence, the Heavenly Monarch found it hard to act, knowing any move would provoke Heaven. The Great Venerable, having chosen Jiang Li, ended up supporting his rise to the Emperor's throne.

Jiang Li, with the Emperor Dao Fruit, ascended directly to the realm of the Supreme, uncontrollable even by the Great Venerable.

Call it fate or Tianxuan's keen insight—either way, the Ji Family and the Gongsun Family weren't entirely ruined by the Heavenly Monarch and the Great Venerable, managing to hold on. Although the Jiang family now rules as the new Royal Family, when it comes to ability, how could the current Jiang family compare to the Ji Family and the Gongsun Family?

Ultimately, Jiang Li still has to rely on people from the Ji Family.

All these aspects make the Great Venerable take Tianxuan seriously.

With that, the Great Venerable watched the unfolding scene with interest, "But I must say, this is quite a show; you might as well enjoy it with me."

"For such things, I won't accompany you," the young man in purple responded firmly.

"Watch as I tell you," the Great Venerable grumbled, rolling his eyes, "I don't expect you to be as cunning and ruthless as Jiang Li, but at least learn a bit of shamelessness. Later, see your master and inform him of Tianxuan and Jiang Li's relationship, honing your cunning."

Though it might not be all that useful, at least it would help train the young in the clan a bit more.

The young man in purple, Feng Ziyang, upon hearing this, looked at the battle displayed on the mirror. Despite his stern demeanor, he couldn't help but feel shocked by Jiang Li's actions.

Knowing about Jiang Li's connection with Tianxuan was already enough to shake Feng Ziyang's heart; he hadn't expected a connection with the Rain Master as well.

Brother Jiang... he truly is... indescribable.

"Brother Jiang, I am not your enemy, employing tricks is not my wish." Feng Ziyang said, refusing despite being shocked.

As he spoke, he was about to turn and leave, but before taking a step, he was immobilized by the Great Venerable with a single point.

"Young man, let me teach you another thing. If you do not have the strength to refuse, just accept it quietly."

As the Great Venerable spoke, he enjoyed the spectacle, watching the struggle between Doumu and the Yinglong Dragon, a look of interest on his face. Yet the faint glimmer of the Eight Trigrams in his eyes showed he was not merely observing.

He was deducing the cultivation and techniques of Tianxuan and the Master of Rain.

Although their strength was far inferior to the Great Venerable's, having an understanding of their methods would ultimately be beneficial.

It seemed that the Heavenly Monarch thought the same; perhaps the Heavenly Monarch was also observing the situation in secret.

At this moment, Tianxuan and the Master of Rain appeared to be fighting with True Fire. The Yinglong Dragon roared into the sky to attack, colliding with Tianxuan, who revealed the Celestial Stars Body. The aftermath of their clash shattered the mountains under Tianxuan's feet, causing the mountain to collapse and the earth to crack. The recently repaired water veins burst forth from the ground once again.

"Great Venerable, this doesn't seem to be an act," said the Heavenly Charm.

This could potentially affect Jiang Li's divine skills.

Though the impact was minor, almost negligible, it was still an effect, and inconsistent with their earlier efforts to repair the earth and water veins.

"Fake," the Great Venerable said lightly.

It's just a minor impact; Jiang Li definitely wouldn't mind. Tianxuan and the Master of Rain, these two women, with courage matching any man, would definitely not mind either.

"Stop!"

The spectators could be calm, but Gongsun Qingyue and the Princess could no longer sit by and watch.

The Princess soared into the sky, channeling Heavenly Star Power, forcefully influencing the Star Domain. Simultaneously, she wielded the Southern Ming Li Fire across the sky, burning the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, attempting to block the Master of Rain.

Although the Vermilion Bird Seven Constellations were part of the stars, the position of the Vermilion Bird was definitely not inferior to Doumu Yuanjun. The Four Symbols manifest in the sky as images, on the earth as forms; the Star God is only one facet, not the whole. Doumu Yuanjun's Dao Fruit could guide the stars, but could not fully restrain the Vermilion Bird.

Moreover, the Southern Ming Li Fire could counter the water-associated Yinglong Dragon.

However, the Princess had only recently advanced; no matter how deep her foundation, she couldn't block two third grades at the same time.

Tianxuan and the Master of Rain simultaneously felt a tremor in their Qi Mechanism, as the Star Essence and Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning counterattacked, causing the Princess to suffer a joint strike from the two.

With the Qi Mechanism's pull, the Princess was compelled to defend with all her might, the Southern Ming Li Fire burning fiercely, suddenly revealing a grand aura of refining all things.

This is...

"Innate Qi?!"

The Heavenly Charm widened her eyes upon seeing this scene, then sharply turned to look at the Great Venerable, "Great Venerable, is this fake too?"

Good heavens, revealing the Master of Rain wasn't enough; now even the Princess has exposed her Innate Qi.

The most crucial part is the Princess's identity! Identity!

Now the Heavenly Charm looked at the Great Venerable, feeling an illusion, as if seeing something green.

Feng Ziyang, initially forced to watch, ceased struggling, his spirit utterly shaken by this sudden scene, beyond words.

Watching this spectacle, suddenly revealed above his head, the Great Venerable also became part of the show.

Moreover, acting, to reach such an extent?

"This time..." the Great Venerable wore a pondering expression, "Maybe... it's not fake."

Previously, the fight between the two could be said to be acting; now the Princess has displayed her Innate Qi, making it less certain.

Because, for the current situation, this brings no benefit. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

And Tianxuan could endure one but might not endure two.

For a moment, even the Great Venerable was uncertain.
