Taiyi Dao Fruit

Half a cup of tea, which is about five minutes ago.

In the garden pavilion, the compass evolves, stars arrange in rows, the Three Realms and Twenty-Eight Constellations shatter the Yellow Cloud, yet are blocked by the Yellow Heaven's Eye, temporarily at a stalemate.

Though the Qi Mechanism displayed by Feng Manlou is strong, it remains within the scope of fourth-rank, he is not in his Great Venerable True Body, resulting in an advantage with Tianxuan's assistance, yet difficult to break through the opponent's obstacle swiftly.

It was at this moment that the Princess's expression changed suddenly, saying, "I will go and fetch the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter."

That day she borrowed the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter from Tianxuan, caught Feng Manlou who attempted to unseal the seal, and coincidentally made Feng Manlou kneel for a night on the Fire Lotus. Afterward, the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter temporarily remained in the Princess's possession.

Tianxuan thought that the Princess would carry the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter with her, unexpectedly she placed it elsewhere.

If at this moment there were assistance from the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter, perhaps the stalemate could be broken immediately, but...

Noticing that the Princess seemed to be heading towards the bedroom, Tianxuan already felt a change had occurred.

At the same time, the sharpness belonging to the old fox made Feng Manlou feel something was wrong. Of all times to feel uneasy, it had to be when he and Yellow Heaven were clashing from a distance, and indeed there were people adept at creating trouble here.

Feng Manlou immediately looked at Tianxuan and Jiang Li.

A person's Life Chart is like a star, the stronger the power, the larger the star is, and naturally, "Gravity" is stronger as well. Furthermore, "Gravity" is enhanced by factors like cause and effect, status, and other aspects, externally appearing as terms like Qi Shu and Qi Fortune.

The stronger the Qi Shu, the more difficult it is to divine, even the Great Venerable, the world's foremost Yi Dao Master, cannot avoid this difficulty, but upon meeting face to face, there is a slight difference.

Just as the stars in the sky may have Gravity so strong it prevents foreign objects from surviving, visually it can still be seen. And because the star is too large, it appears particularly conspicuous.

This is the situation with Tianxuan and Jiang Li, if separated by a great distance, Feng Manlou would find it difficult to divine the two, especially Jiang Li, who harbors unknown secrets, even the Great Venerable's personal intervention cannot divine him, at best he can only track his movements.

However, upon meeting face to face, Feng Manlou can completely confirm the two are right before him. At least for Feng Manlou, no one has managed to conceal their Qi Shu in front of him.

He can see the anomaly of stars surrounding the moon in Qi Shu, as well as the three majestic figures standing like Taiji Eight Trigram, and the banner formed by the Soldiers of the Military God.

Speaking of which, doesn't this brother have too strong a foundation, with numerous secrets hidden in Qi Shu?

Once confirming the true bodies of the two, rather than false avatars, Feng Manlou was able to let go of a majority of his concerns.

Here it's necessary to criticize Jiang for his art of deception, which has professional validation, impressive enough to amaze both King Shu and Zhang Zhixuan.

If it's not the two pulling tricks, with no sense of impending crisis, it's not a big deal. Maybe it's just another occasion of kneeling on the Fire Lotus, which doesn't count for much.

The three individuals in the pavilion, each harboring their own thoughts, continued the distant confrontation with Yellow Heaven.

······

······

Time returns to the present.

When Jiang Li discovered the text on the last page, he already knew he was exposed.

The Phoenix Seal on the door and the setup inside the Jade Mirror serve both as a precaution and disguise, the Princess believes the fish she intends to catch will not be bothered by these two precautions.

The diary taken, that's the true bait.

And when the fish bites the hook, how could the angler not notice?

'But I'm not the fish you want to catch.'

Jiang Li could be one hundred percent sure that he was taking the brunt for another affiliated son-in-law.

'Withdraw.'

A fleeting thought flashed, Jiang Li decisively wanted to slip away.

Yet as he intended to turn thought into action, he found the surrounding space dramatically transformed, the original room scene blurring and disappearing, replaced by a world akin to the boundless void.

Up and down, empty as the firmament, like the surface of water, occasionally flashing mysterious, cryptic runes.

Jiang Li observed with the Heavenly Eye, surprisingly discovering runes as numerous as the sands filling all directions, constantly evolving, with countless changes occurring in a fleeting moment.

"Dragon Armor Divine Chapter!"

He looked at the scale wedged in the diary, eventually guessing its origin.

This is a Dragon Scale, the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter, a carrier recording the Ji Family's roots in Yi § Chart. Unexpectedly, the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter is indeed recorded on the Dragon Armor.

Not allowing Jiang Li to ponder further, the Dragon Scale had already turned illusionary and transparent, seemingly still in the book, actually evolving into the Array Formation here, trapping Jiang Li.

Simultaneously, a phoenix cry suddenly arose, crisp and prolonged, with a Fire Phoenix soaring into the sky, singing across the eight winds, resonating with the Divine Fire, and slicing through the air.

It's coming!

The Dragon Armor Divine Chapter is the fishing rod, when a fish bites the bait, the change in the rod immediately alerts the angler, then the fish is pulled out of the water. Now, here comes the person.

Jiang Li resolutely turned and struck with his palm, the dark black Qi Mechanism carrying a ferocious Sha ability, forming a pitch-black giant palm, thrusting directly at the Fire Phoenix attacking through the air.

The Divine Fire blazed, sweeping away darkness, the Fire Phoenix flapped its wings, an overwhelming Flame Energy vibrated, unexpectedly, the giant palm possessed the ability to annihilate, obliterating both Qi Mechanism and Divine Fire before the palm, even the entwining Divine Thought was thoroughly shattered.

The sweeping Flame Qi was explosively broken, the giant palm further induced destruction, already showing the hint of Gang Sha, striking the Fire Phoenix, in a flash—

"Bang!"

Among the thunderous boom, the Fire Phoenix exploded with one strike, countless flames fell like a fiery rain.

The Flame Qi scoured above and below, yet failed to touch the blurry silhouette, amidst the myriad fire rain, emerged the figure of the Princess clad in red splendid attire, her Phoenix Eyes shimmering with blazing flames, firmly focused on Jiang Li.

Seeing Jiang Li's vague silhouette, appearing human yet specter-like, the Princess's eyes ignited with flame light, revealing the Phoenix Eye, sharp light directly emitted from her eyes, seeming to pierce through Jiang Li's mask.

No matter how she looked, Jiang Li was but a blurred ghostly figure, making it difficult for her to comprehend the situation.

Yet this only reinforced a particular thought in the Princess.

"Pretending to be divine and occult!"

She huffed coldly, her face holding Sha intent, lightly raised her palm in a flourish, like a fiery rain descending, transforming into a myriad of Fire Crows, spreading all around, massive Flame Light billowed like waves, rushing towards Jiang Li alongside the thousand crows.

The Princess walks the Divine Path, the fifth-rank encompasses the Fire Palace Star Lord, while the fourth-rank harbors the Fire Star Lord of the Lords of the Five Elements. In the path of fire, she has reached a level unattainable by most Jiang Clan members.

Now she laid down a heavy hand, flame light scorched the heavens and burned the earth, everywhere above and below turned crimson red, instantly turning the void into purgatory, and Jiang Li was the unlucky ghost falling into purgatory.
