Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1113 - 339: Yuqing’s Secret, Life and Death of the Heavenly Venerate

On the other side, Jiang Li withdrew his divine thought, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Taibai True Monarch has accepted the challenge. Next..." He looked at the already arrived Daoist in a green robe, "It's up to Brother Guang Cheng now."

Daoist Guang Cheng had indeed left the Yuxu Temple long ago, but he hadn't shown himself because he wanted to see if the picture Jiang Li painted could come true, so he had temporarily stayed outside of Jingzhou.

Yin Tulong, with the Wind and Fire Wheel and supplemented by the Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique, left Jingzhou in a brief moment, met Daoist Guang Cheng, and informed him of Jiang Li's decision. Daoist Guang Cheng received the answer he was looking for, did not hesitate any longer, and immediately came to see Jiang Li, sending out that sword light upon arrival.

Hearing Jiang Li address him as "Brother," Daoist Guang Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Leave it to me, and let's see who will stand at the pinnacle in this Sword Dao competition."

"Brother Guang Cheng, what are your chances of victory?" Jiang Li asked.

Although he had already noticed that Taibai True Monarch had a mental block, causing his sharp sword momentum to fall, in terms of overt strength, Daoist Guang Cheng actually had the advantage. But confrontations have never been just about paper strength; defeating the strong with the weak is absolutely possible.

In Jiang Li's calculations, Taibai True Monarch also had the possibility of victory.

So, he still needed to ask the person concerned to see what he thought.

"If you want to ask me about my chances, then I will only give one answer, which is ten out of ten."

Daoist Guang Cheng gave a very Sword Cultivator-style answer, then suddenly changed his tone, saying, "However, if Junior Brother Jiang is willing to listen to me expound on Taoist skills for a few days, my chances of victory might increase to twelve out of ten."

When Jiang Li heard the latter half of the sentence, he was first taken aback. He realized that Daoist Guang Cheng's Dao Fruit was indeed lacking a bit, not perfectly integrated.

This expounding was actually about sharing with the Emperor Master as the cause and effect, to make the Dao Fruit complete.

Daoist Guang Cheng's words undoubtedly had the intention of establishing a deeper trust relationship. At the same time, those words conveyed his full confidence, not calming himself before the battle but rather wanting to discuss Taoist skills with Jiang Li.

This, in fact, was also a kind of preparation. Taibai True Monarch knew that he had developed a mental block and needed to calm himself to suppress it, while Daoist Guang Cheng, on the other hand, was in high spirits and did not need calming but rather wanted to let it rise even higher.

Just as he finished speaking, Daoist Guang Cheng gave Jiang Li a look.

Jiang Li: "..."

The astonishing wisdom in his mind activated, and with the Heart of the Supreme reflecting the surrounding scene, Jiang Li discovered a blind spot.

He suddenly realized that the affairs of his family seemed to have spread quite widely, as now even Daoist Guang Cheng knew about Jiang's troubled back yard and wanted to come to his aid.

Before Yin Tulong had gone to find Daoist Guang Cheng, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Jiang Li wanted Yin Tulong to break that atmosphere. Unfortunately, Yin Tulong was even more clueless about such matters than the peach-loving Sun Monkey and didn't notice anything.

However, Yin Tulong did indeed break the somewhat stiff atmosphere later, which helped Jiang Li somewhat.

Because Yin Tulong was unaware of these aspects, Jiang Li assumed he didn't know that there was a fire in his back yard. But now Daoist Guang Cheng was aware of the inside story; however, Daoist Guang Cheng had always stayed in Kunxu and shouldn't have known about these.

So the question arose, how did he find out?

Answer: Yin Tulong told him.

Though Yin Tulong couldn't sense subtle atmospheres, in fact, he was aware of the inside story. He couldn't see the situation but had known about the circumstances long ago.

Then, Yin Tulong conveyed the relevant situation to Daoist Guang Cheng, asking him to keep an eye out. Daoist Guang Cheng, worldly-wise, perceived from previous conversations with Yin Tulong that the newly inducted junior brother was in a somewhat precarious situation, and now he was extending a helping hand out of his sense of camaraderie.

Another question arose, how did Yin Tulong know the situation?

Jiang Li already had an answer in his heart, and he immediately zeroed in on a particular cursed monkey.

'This monkey, could it be holding a grudge all along and secretly spreading rumors to slander me?' Jiang Li thought this to himself.

A great Great Sage Equalling Heaven shouldn't do such things...right?

Then Jiang Li recalled many of the monkey's antics. Back then, it sneaking into his sister-in-law's belly was basically learning from the monkey.

'Alright, this time, I can't lose to the monkey in the gamble.'

Resolving to win surged in Jiang Li's mind, he then looked at Daoist Guang Cheng and nodded slowly, "As you wish, I also want to inquire about the Refining Solid to Void method."

While somewhat helpless about Daoist Guang Cheng's belief in rumors, Jiang Li was still willing to accept Brother Guang Cheng's goodwill, alongside deepening camaraderie and boosting Daoist Guang Cheng's chances of victory.

Upon hearing Jiang Li agreeing to this matter, Tianxuan's brow showed a trace of sharpness, and Primordial Lord Rain Master looked slightly more relaxed.

Although Tianxuan was willing to put this matter aside for now, the interrogation of Jiang wasn't to be omitted. Now, with Jiang Li speaking about Taoist skills with Daoist Guang Cheng, there wouldn't be time to be alone with Tianxuan or anyone else.

Thus, Jiang Li and Daoist Guang Cheng began discussing and imparting Taoist skills by the Thunder Pool.

Since the fundamental cultivation technique of Yuxu Temple was involved, Tianxuan, Gongsun Qingyue, Primordial Lord Rain Master, and the Princess all found various reasons, whether it be organizing troops or guarding against the enemy, to leave one after another.

The only one left, Yin Tulong, didn't want to disturb Daoist Guang Cheng and Jiang Li since this concerned the outcome of the sword fight, so he simply rode the Wind and Fire Wheel and left on his own.

Only that the direction he was headed seemed to be precisely where Sun Monkey was now.
