Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1109 - 335

The complete [Primordial Human] can elevate all Human Species Dao Fruit Divine Powers to Second Grade and is not afraid of any Human Species Dao Fruit Divine Power below Second Grade.

Jiang Li did not aspire to elevate his Dao Fruit Divine Powers to Second Grade; Third Grade would suffice, just like the Emperor Yan Dao Fruit Divine Power within the Ochre Whip.

A Third Grade Divine Power is enough to significantly enhance Jiang Li's strength, even if this enhancement does not essentially elevate the rank of the Dao Fruit.

Among the numerous Divine Powers, there are those that enhance one's potential, Daoist Heart, and strength. Even a slight increase would greatly benefit Jiang Li, providing him with additional means.

Thinking thus, Jiang Li put away Da Kun, and simultaneously raised his hand to form an array. The complex formation was instantly completed, trapping the dragon-shaped lightning within.

At this moment, beams of light descended in the near distance, Tianxuan, Gongsun Qingyue, the Princess, and Yin Tulong all arrived at this place.

The participants in the previous backyard fire were all here. The Princess was not a concern, as it had been confirmed that her Innate Qi was secretly provided by Jiang Li. At the time, Jiang Li transformed into a Jade Scroll, was collected by the Princess, secretly outputting Innate Qi to create misunderstandings, and then plotted against the Great Venerable.

Hmm... It certainly seemed so on the surface.

Gongsun Qingyue was particularly close to Primordial Lord Rain Master, offering salutations upon meeting and warmly moving to Rain Master's side, exchanging glances with Tianxuan, showing a schadenfreude expression.

As for Tianxuan, he nodded slightly, as a greeting.

Overall, the atmosphere was somewhat stiff, which didn't harm the general situation, but let Emperor Jiang know that the calm was only temporary.

'Hmph! Great Venerable.'

Jiang Li snorted lightly in his heart, displaying dissatisfaction towards a certain initiator, then signaled with his eyes to Yin Tulong.

At this moment, it required someone appropriate to speak up.

Unfortunately, Yin Tulong was truly inexperienced in this aspect; he wasn't even as knowledgeable as the monkey who stabilized the Seven Immortal Maidens and went to eat peaches.

However, Yin Tulong indeed had something to say.

Holding the Fire-tipped Spear in his right hand, he gave it a gentle shake. A surge of gun power transformed into Primordial Qi, faintly outlining the form of a talisman, which flew to Jiang Li's front.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, his eyes traversed through scenes—indeed, it was the previous confrontation setting.

Now, Jiang Li had integrated the Green Emperor Dao Fruit with his own Cultivation Technique, feeling any major event happening within his domain, particularly in areas close to him, down to minor details.

Even if unable to focus at the moment, he could later trace back some information.

When Yin Tulong was battling the enemy, Jiang Li was still executing righteous maneuvers against the Great Venerable, unable to perceive the situation. But seeing this Primordial Qi talisman now, in a single thought, he traced back to the talisman's origin.

The other four also simultaneously directed their attention to the faintly forming talisman.

"It's a Communication Talisman, and its structure is specific to the Sect," said Gongsun Qingyue.

The Communication Talisman, also known as the "Communication Talisman," is as the name suggests — recording information within the talisman, acting as a letter, delivering it to others. It is one of the simplest talismans, practiced by all who cultivate talismanic magic.

Due to its simple structure, many skilled talisman cultivators make modifications to add small functionalities.

The structure of the present Communication Talisman is unique to the Dinghu Sect.

"When encountering your Sect's Kaiyang Martial Arts, it was left on the tip of my spear," Yin Tulong said.

"Does Elder Kaiyang possess such meticulous technique?" Gongsun Qingyue couldn't help but marvel.

The Communication Talisman is indeed simple, but leaving a talisman on an opponent's spear during a heated battle is not an easy task.

This level of meticulousness contradicts the crude image of Elder Kaiyang as a martial artist.

"He managed to get into the Imperial College; don't think he's truly crude," Tianxuan remarked calmly.

Being admitted to the Imperial College already surpasses ninety-nine percent of Great Zhou's scholars; Elder Kaiyang is far from crude. In fact, he is quite learned, though his past image has made such a strong impression that one tends to overlook this.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Elder Kaiyang was able to lie low under the Heavenly Monarch.

Although Jiang Li didn't know how Elder Kaiyang avoided the Heavenly Monarch's mind control.

The "Yin Talisman Scripture" possesses both righteous path teachings and concealed demonic nature. Additionally, the Heavenly Monarch had been to Buddha Country for further studies; his capabilities in conversion and brainwashing might even surpass Tan Wuwei, who relies on Dao Fruit for support.

Elder Kaiyang was able to maintain his self under the Heavenly Monarch's brainwashing, which made Jiang Li hold caution.

Without Elder Kaiyang, Jiang Li would not have easily acquired the last Military God's Five Weapons. In this regard, he indeed possesses his self rather than being a puppet of the Heavenly Monarch.

"Despite the many Third Grades involved, including me in Jingzhou, what Elder Kaiyang did was still somewhat risky."

Jiang Li sighed softly and said.

The numerous Third Grades act as sources of interference, which could disrupt divination. If Jiang Li hadn't seen the talisman, directly tracing back to the previous scenes wouldn't have been this straightforward. Yet, it was somewhat risky.

If the Heavenly Monarch didn't notice anything amiss, it would be fine; but should he see something like Jiang Li did and look into it, discovering that scene wouldn't be difficult.

As he spoke, Jiang Li emphatically said, "Conceal."

[Emperor Emerges from Zhen] was cast, shrouding the relevant cause and effect, and meanwhile, Jiang Li examined the information within the Communication Talisman.

"The Heavenly Monarch has been continuously having Tan Wuwei convert the common people of the Three States, while during great battles having Lingxuzi lead Upper Pure Sect magic experts in conducting the heartfelt loyalty ritual to Emperor Gouchen of the Palace of the Supreme."...

Jiang Li furrowed his brow.

The ritual is a sacrifice to divine spirits, a mainstream activity in the Cultivation World before the End of Dharma. After all, the Immortal Gods are genuinely present in the heavens, and if one has connections, they can invite divine help.

For instance, talisman cultivators before the End of Dharma essentially survived on divine aid; not only could talismanic magic receive divine assistance, but even cultivation could be enhanced through divine bestowals.

Meanwhile, divine spirits would gain from sacrifices; albeit not much, gathering it gradually would be quite substantial.

Yet in the Five Turbid Evil World, divine spirits vanished, and such rituals were largely abandoned.

However, this time the ritual involves Emperor Gouchen...

"Does the Heavenly Monarch aim to have Taibai True Monarch assist him?" Gongsun Qingyue said. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Perhaps even hoping for the Daoist Lord to intervene," Tianxuan added.

No one is a fool; understanding the matter involves Emperor Gouchen, they naturally connected it to Taibai True Monarch.

Simultaneously, Jiang Li sensed a piercing sharp aura traversing the skies, heading towards Yangzhou.

"Taibai True Monarch has arrived."

Jiang Li sighed lightly and said, "We need to account for him as well."

Jiang Li said, his gaze shifted, looking at Yin Tulong, asking, "Dragon Slayer Daoist, Fellow Daoist Guangcheng might be able to set out now?"
