Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1214 - 13: The Daoist Lord Arrives, Emperor Yan’s True Spirit (Part 2)

At the same time, the Tai Chi Dao robe on his body faintly revealed a subtle aura, while a phantom of Taiji appeared behind him.

"The Tai Chi Diagram, it really ended up in his hands." Jiang Li thought to himself.

Despite having speculated earlier, truly confirming that the Tai Chi Diagram ended up with the Daoist Lord, Jiang Li couldn't help but lament the different fates of people.

In the battle between the three sides in the Three Pure Ones, both Jiang Li and the Great Heavenly Venerate fought fiercely and schemed repeatedly to obtain a Three Pure Ones Dao Artifact. Particularly for the Great Heavenly Venerate, it was a calculated move; he even watched Jiang Li take the Pangu Banner before striking peacefully.

On this side, someone has already been secured.

"However, this Tai Chi Diagram wouldn't have fallen into Daoist Lord's hands for no reason; his roots must be significant."

While Jiang Li was pondering, he gently raised his hand, and a small tree appeared in his palm.

The tree canopy was like a great cover, with developed roots and branches emitting a pure spirit energy, yet possessing the weight of a solid earth vein, it was the ginseng fruit tree.

"Master, plant this tree near Xuanyuan Platform."

Saying this, he once again lifted his hand, took out the Ochre Whip, and said, "And this Ochre Whip should be placed under the ginseng fruit tree."

Hearing this, Tianxuan withdrew the red clouds, accepted the ginseng fruit tree and the Ochre Whip, asking no questions, just saying "Be careful," before turning and leaving.

Upon exiting the palace gate, she had already donned a veil, transforming into Princess Consort Xi.

Meanwhile, Jiang Li once again picked up the Pangu Banner, moved his silhouette, and entered the spatial ripples.

······

······

Great Ming Hall.

The Daoist Lord unhurriedly entered the hall, seeing Jiang Li standing with his hands behind his back, a chaos-colored banner right next to him.

He paused his steps; the Taiji robe on him showed a flow of Yin and Yang, as if concealing a heaven and earth, with all phenomena evolving within.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jiang, on obtaining the Three Pure Ones Dao Artifact." The Daoist Lord smiled, bowing in acknowledgment. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"I also congratulate you, Daoist Lord, on your promotion to the second grade."

Jiang Li likewise expressed congratulations, his gaze falling on the Tai Chi robe, "And also for obtaining the treasure of Daode Tianzun."

At present, the Tai Chi Diagram had transformed into a robe, draped over the Daoist Lord.

The Daoist Lord sighed, shaking his head, saying, "It was just a coincidence. Only after I advanced to the second grade with the Supreme Laojun Dao Fruit did I come upon this Tai Chi Diagram opportunity. Yet, it's not only an opportunity but also a significant karma."

A few simple words, yet they revealed quite a lot of information, causing various reflections in Jiang Li's heart.

"The Supreme Laojun is truly an incarnation of Daode Tianzun, and the Daoist Lord received the Tai Chi Diagram because of advancing the Supreme Laojun Dao Fruit, what about me?"

In his thoughts, Jiang Li instinctively considered the Karma Collection's ability to consolidate cause and effect.

He must also have harmonized with the Pangu Banner, hence being able to obtain it.

Otherwise, considering pure daoist lineage, Jiang Li, a latecomer, could never compare to those from Yuxu Temple.

Moreover, the Three Pure Dao Artifacts may not only bring benefits.

Jiang Li noticed a deeper meaning in Daoist Lord's words, wanted to inquire further, but seeing the Daoist Lord's demeanor, intended to be enigmatic.

After saying those words, the old Daoist changed topics directly, "I came today to present a gift to Your Majesty."

With that said, the Daoist Lord took out a gourd from his sleeve.

This gourd was entirely red, inscribed with gold patterns, depicting talisman decrees; though well-sealed, Jiang Li's Divine Palace Heavenly Eye easily penetrated the gourd, revealing the golden cores inside.

"Upon my promotion, I opened a furnace and refined five Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs, to gift to Your Majesty, congratulating the unification of the Nine Provinces and a united world."

The golden-patterned red gourd floated over slowly, Jiang Li raised his hand, caught the gourd without formality, and laughed, "Just right, I also have a gift to present to Daoist Lord."

"Oh?" Daoist Lord pretended to be curious, "Yet I wonder what kind of gift it is?"

As the voice fell, a surge of overwhelming spiritual mechanism came forth from the depths of the Imperial City, mighty and vast like a tide, in an instant filling the Imperial City, and its momentum was not exhausted, continuing to expand outward.

The ginseng fruit tree, capable of stabilizing earth veins and extracting pure energy, bore fruits that are pure energy crystals, capable of dispelling evil impurities, thus enabling long life.

Back then, Jiang Li used the Ginseng Fruit as a foundation, cultivating the Heavenly Dharma. Today, Jiang Li, in contrast, combines the Heavenly Dharma with the ginseng fruit tree, using this tree as a bridge to communicate between heaven and earth, transforming the pure and impure.

Wherever the aura of the ginseng fruit tree extended, the Five Vile Qi transformed into a spiritual mechanism, and a previously unseen spiritual tide descended upon the Divine Capital.

This scene was exactly what the Daoist Lord had longed for.

He wished to reverse the pure and impure, recreating the landscape from before the End of Dharma, and Jiang Li, as he wished, used it to win him over.

Furthermore, this was also Jiang Li's path to interpreting the Green Emperor Dao Fruit.

Single-handedly instigating the changes of heaven and earth, reversing the End of Dharma, opening a new world. Such accomplishments are enough to be described in present times as "shocking ancient and present," affecting thousands of years to come.

Now it was only within the Imperial City; after its reach extended over the Nine Provinces, Jiang Li would directly gain control over the fundamental spiritual mechanism of the Nine Provinces. Many cultivators, breathing in the spiritual mechanism, are essentially cultivating Jiang Li, practicing Jiang Li's Qi Dao.

"Just relying on my own strength, I'm afraid it's difficult to reverse the impurities of the Nine Provinces; now Daoist Lord should also know that the Five Vile Qi actually transformed into impurity because of the Three Pure Ones." Jiang Li said slowly.

In other words, to genuinely solve the foundational issue, one must start from the source of essence energy, which is the Three Pure Ones Dao.

If the root cannot be resolved, then Jiang Li would only become a human conversion hub, in a roundabout way becoming the new source.

However, for this, enormous strength is required to assist.

But this is not difficult for the Daoist Lord.

"A duty that cannot be declined," said Daoist Lord, gently waving the horsetail whisk, Taiji expanding from his feet, merging with the earth, swiftly connecting with the ginseng fruit tree.

He unfolded the Tai Chi Diagram, using the power of a First Grade Dao Artifact to aid Jiang Li in transforming the pure and impure.

In a matter of moments, the roots of the ginseng fruit tree deeply embedded themselves in the earth veins of the Divine Capital, extending in all directions. Within the Imperial City, a towering tree shot up rapidly, reaching a hundred feet tall in the blink of an eye.

"The Tai Chi Diagram could assist in transforming the pure and impure... The subtlety of the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique unexpectedly aligns with the logic of the Tai Chi Diagram. This Daoist Lord's cultivation technique truly inherits the true teachings of the Taiching Dao system."

Through the ginseng fruit tree, Jiang Li also perceived the wonders of the Tai Chi Diagram, enlightening his own cultivation. When he combined the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique with the insights gained, he found the two surprisingly complement each other.

The Daoist Lord was able to create the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique not only because of his profound Daoism but also because Taiqing's Method naturally has the capability to transform the pure and impure.

Delving deeper, the Five Turbid Evil World has now separated from the End of Dharma; its roots originate from the Three Pure Ones, naturally only the Three Pure Ones' Skill, can reverse this pure and impure.

The connection between Daoist Lord and Daode Tianzun runs quite deep indeed.

Amidst the transformation of purity and impurity, with the spiritual mechanism like tides, under Xuanyuan Platform, the now towering ginseng fruit tree dangled beams of pure light, entwining around the hovering Ochre Whip.

Pure Qi combined with Yimu Essence Qi, with wood generating fire, merging into the Ochre Whip.

Moreover, the power of the Great Zhou Country descended here, with the Qi Shu of the Fire Fortune Dynasty blending with the Ochre Whip, causing the Ochre Whip to exude a brilliant red light.

Under varied nourishments, a subtle vibration emerged from the Ochre Whip, though faint, it revealed a great and broad power, swiftly intensifying, as if devouring a forest fire.

A majestic figure appeared within the red light, bearing horns upon its head, akin to the sun rising high, benevolently overseeing the land. The surrounding snows rapidly melted, vitality revived, withered grasses and trees turning green once more.

"This······"

Tianxuan watched this scene unfold, even with her mental state, showing astonishment, "Is this... Emperor Yan?!"

And that figure also glanced at Tianxuan.

"Descendant of Xuanyuan, yet carrying Innate Qi?"
