Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1204 - 9: Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, Candle Nine Yin

Jizhou, Shouyang Mountain.

Purple aura soared across the sky, stretching three thousand miles, its magnificent light piercing through the Nine Layers of Heaven, truly creating a wonderful scene of immortal air.

The entire Daode Sect was filled with a rich spiritual mechanism, transforming even into mist, swirling between the mountains and forests, making the surroundings seem like a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

This anomaly persisted for a full hour before it began to gradually dissipate. Yet as the purple aura dispersed and the sky dome reappeared, suddenly a White Jade Golden Bridge spanned the sky, landing straight on the peak of Shouyang Mountain, leaving the entire Daode Sect in bewilderment.

"Master."

When Taibai True Monarch and Zhang Daoyi both arrived at the mountain top, the bridge had already disappeared. The Daoist Lord stood by the cliff, one hand lightly raised, with a Taiji slowly rotating in his palm. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The seemingly simple Yin Yang Fish, upon their gaze, suddenly unfolded into endless changes, clearly just the interchange of Yin and Yang, yet it enlightened both of them as if revealing the secrets of heaven and earth.

The abrupt change left both of them momentarily stunned, even Taibai True Monarch, being a third grade strong person, was affected in mind. Zhang Daoyi exhibited Yin and Yang Qi externally, manifesting into a Dragon and Tiger, wrestling with each other, inhaling and exhaling spiritual mechanism, his power increasing rapidly.

However, this change only lasted for a moment. In the next instant, they regained their senses, and the Taiji appeared plain and unremarkable, showing nothing special.

If it weren't for Zhang Daoyi's power having more than doubled, and Taibai True Monarch's sword heart sensing a change, they might have thought it was an illusion.

"Master, this is······" Zhang Daoyi looked toward the Taiji, words unspoken, clearly wanting to ask but hesitating.

To make power surge like this in a moment, if it could be used to aid long-term cultivation, how remarkable would that be?

"An opportunity, or it could be considered a cause and effect."

The Daoist Lord shook his head calmly, raising his hand, the Taiji transformed into a Tai Chi Diagram, covering his body, becoming a Taiji Taoist Robe on him. Such attire, with the Daoist Lord's white beard and hair, appeared immortal, exuding a natural and profound mystique with every move.

"Congratulations Master, on your promotion to the second grade." Taibai True Monarch congratulated.

The entire Daode Sect speculated that the Daoist Lord had made a breakthrough in strength, possibly advancing to the second grade. It wasn't until Taibai True Monarch personally observed the Daoist Lord's aura that they confirmed his successful promotion.

Interestingly, the Daoist Lord's advancement was entirely without warning, even within Daode Sect, no one knew when the promotion ceremony took place.

The process of the Daoist Lord absorbing the Dao Fruit was unlike previous Awakened promotions, where anomalies erupted. Only after succeeding did the phenomena of purple aura spanning three thousand miles and the Tai Chi Golden Bridge descending occur.

Such secrecy, no wonder the Daoist Lord was able to advance.

In comparison, whether Awakened or Heavenly Monarchs, they exposed themselves too early, resulting in their paths being obstructed and near success turning into failure.

However, if truth be told, without interference, both Awakened and Heavenly Monarch could certainly have advanced to the second grade.

'Supreme beings······'

Thinking of this, Taibai True Monarch could only reflect that the elderly are indeed more cunning.

Reaching the step of supreme beings and being able to cement the world's great trends, they truly are profoundly deep, except for the Former Emperor.

The Daoist Lord hadn't expected his senior disciple to think so much. He merely waved his hand gently, tossing out the Vajra Mala to serve as a nose ring for the resting Green Bull nearby, and then said, "As your master has now advanced to the second grade·Supreme Lord, I've made some progress in the Alchemy Dao. Disciple, pass down the order for Dan Xuzi to go to Wuwei Cave Heaven to gather herbs for me to refine a furnace of Golden Pills."

"Will Master be refining a Sixth-Transformation Golden Pill or a Nine-Turn Golden Pill?" Taibai True Monarch asked.

"The Sixth-Transformation Golden Pill is not suitable as a gift, naturally, it will be the Nine-Turn."

The Daoist Lord said slowly, "Afterwards, I will go to Divine Capital to meet the Emperor, and it can serve as a gift."

Hearing mention of the Emperor Jiang, Taibai True Monarch's ears seemed to experience an illusion, with the words "virtuous nephew" echoing in his ears.

"I believe it should be the Emperor coming to pay respects to Master," murmured Taibai True Monarch.

"That will have to wait for another time. For now, I am the one seeking favors. Once I've been to Divine Capital, perhaps it will be that he owes me a favor instead," the Daoist Lord chuckled.

He spoke lightly, yet it made the two disciples take notice.

Taibai True Monarch immediately asked, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

"The Great Venerable should have advanced as well."

The Daoist Lord said, looking to the east, "Supreme beings have once dominated the situation for nearly two hundred years, having plenty of time to prepare for advancement. Whether it's you or the Immortal Queen, your preparations are far lacking compared to theirs."

Conversely, if even the Immortal Queen and Taibai True Monarch could touch upon the threshold of advancement, how could these top old legacies possibly be unprepared?

The reason they haven't advanced is firstly because of being surrounded by other old legacies, and secondly because of the True Spirit within the second grade Dao Fruit.

Now the situation has changed, and even supreme beings find it difficult to balance each other, while the True Spirit of the second grade Dao Fruit, the Great Venerable should have a lot of confidence in it.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Taibai True Monarch could reply, the sky suddenly darkened.

Though a moment ago the sun shone brightly, now it had transformed into a long night, devoid of light, the vast sky engulfed in darkness.

"Candle Dragon!" Taibai True Monarch immediately shouted out the name of the Dao Fruit of the Great Venerable.

Darkness and brightness observed, eyes opened for day, closed for night, is indeed the divine skill of the Candle Dragon.

However, even if the Great Venerable had fully merged with the Candle Dragon Dao Fruit, his divine skill could not possibly cover the entire world. The Daoist Lord had once clashed with the Great Venerable and informed his disciples of the Great Venerable's abilities, stating that his divine skill range was within ten thousand miles.
