Taiyi Dao Fruit

Seeing that scene from afar, a familiar feeling surged in her heart, and Gongsun Qingyue's pupils trembled violently.

For a moment, she felt as though the strands of hair floating by her ears had turned green again.

"This is like being caught between a wolf in front and a tiger coming from behind," Gongsun Qingyue sighed helplessly.

Before she could even defeat the Old Demon, another one emerged. The road to becoming the true consort was long and difficult.

Tianxuan also had a slight tremble in her pupils, feeling suspicious in her heart. But she was much more composed than her young disciple and didn't lose her composure. Instead, she softly reprimanded, "Don't speak carelessly, you must believe in your junior brother; he's not that kind of person."

Her second disciple had always been very rational, so much so that after advancing to the Fifth Rank, even Tianxuan couldn't fathom his Mental State.

Jiang Li would not risk angering his master and the two of them by sneaking out to pick flowers.

"It's precisely because I trust him so much that I allowed you in," Gongsun Qingyue said forlornly.

Not only was her position constantly challenged, but she also wasn't even served the first bowl of soup. She took the lesson of her predecessors to heart.

The words of the Evil Disciple made Tianxuan unable to maintain her dignity, clearly she hadn't disciplined her enough, her rebellious spirit remained, and she still dared to talk back to her master.

"You have wronged your junior brother, it was I who took the initiative," Tianxuan said faintly, using wolfish language, "I was the one who took action, how could Jiang Li be any trouble at all?"

Though, in reality, she was tricked by Jiang Li, who she initially thought was a small white rabbit, not knowing that the best hunters often appear as prey. With the added influence of the Great Venerable, she was unwilling to show weakness in front of her evil disciple.

In any case, she insisted it was her initiative and not that she was counter-killed by Jiang Li!

Such fierce words indeed subdued Gongsun Qingyue. Although Tianxuan felt a bit of embarrassment in her heart, she maintained a composed exterior and led Gongsun Qingyue to the Shooting Flood Dragon Platform.

At this moment, Jiang Li and the Master of Rain were, of course, still discussing cultivation matters. Jiang maintained his chastity and purity, how could he dare to put hats on the two demons at home?

He was discussing the Shooting Flood Dragon Platform with the Master of Rain.

"The name of the Shooting Flood Dragon Platform comes from the Grand Ancestor shooting the Flood Dragon," the Master of Rain touched the ground with her hand and said, "The last formidable foe before the establishment of the Great Zhou was the Military God in Yong Province who attempted to advance to the Second Grade·General. However, the Military God was not the most formidable enemy. At that time, the two clans had already formed a major force, making the Military God indeed a strong opponent, though incapable of stopping the establishment of the Great Zhou.

It was the battle at Dragon Abyss Lake that truly laid the foundation for the Great Zhou."

"In the battle at Dragon Abyss Lake, the Grand Ancestor severely wounded the sea god Yu Qiang from the Dragon Palace with the Xuanyuan Sword, knocking the sea god out of the Realm with Great Divine Power."

At this point, Tianxuan continued gently, "The sea god's Dao Fruit was nearly extracted; he had to reveal his fourth-rank Flood Dragon body and attempt to retreat but was shot through by the Grand Ancestor with the Qiankun Bow and Sky-shattering Arrow at Dragon Abyss Lake. That's where the name Shooting Flood Dragon Platform comes from. The rebellion of the Flood Dragon is merely a later erroneous rumor. Ordinary Flood Dragons don't require the Qiankun Bow."

The Flood Dragon Dao Fruit was only of the Sixth Rank, the type of Flood Dragon that Zhong Shenxiu once slew in the White Mountain Black Water region in the western Nine Provinces. Using the Qiankun Bow and Sky-shattering Arrow to kill Flood Dragons was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, exceedingly wasteful.

However, for a Third-Grade sea god, there is justification.

The sea god Yu Qiang was notable enough to be mentioned in the writings of Zhuangzi; he was the god of the North Sea, and also the Wind God, Plague God. It was also rumored that Yu Qiang and Xuanming were one and the same, and his prestige and Dao Fruit could compare to those of the later North Sea Dragon King.

As Jiang Li pondered, he rose to offer greetings to Tianxuan and exchanged a glance with Gongsun Qingyue.

Through the eye contact, it was clear that Gongsun Qingyue was not in a good mood, and Tianxuan should feel the same. After all, any person facing the possibility of being overshadowed wouldn't have a pleasant mood.

However, Gongsun Qingyue displayed it more obviously, whereas Tianxuan's Qi cultivation technique was so profound that anyone not intimately familiar would not understand her mood at this moment.

Jiang Li happened to be such a person.

Whenever Tianxuan was breathless from Jiang Li's refutations, her eyelids would noticeably drop slightly. Through multiple observations, Jiang Li determined she would cover her eyes in this way when emotionally stirred. Tianxuan was like that now.

Clearly, the two women at home were getting a bit anxious.

'Ha, women.' Jiang Li chuckled inwardly.

However, he wasn't the only one fond of studying people; his master and senior sister were the same.

Though not as detailed as Jiang Li, they could still discern his joy.

'Ha, men.'

The two women laughed coldly in their hearts.

Only one thought that Jiang Li was delighted because of an engaging conversation with the Master of Rain, while the other knew it was because he had discerned her thoughts, making him pleased.

Through their interaction, Tianxuan confirmed that in essence, her master and disciple hadn't crossed any lines and were genuinely just discussing cultivation, but if this continued, who knows what would happen.

Jiang Li was too adept at socializing and had developed such rapport with the Primordial Lord Rain Master in a short time that continuing might indeed result in a whole family sharing the same bed.

The scene...

Even Tianxuan felt it was a bit too advanced.

'Jiang Li is indeed rational, but this young sprout is still too tender.'

Tianxuan judged so, while continuing to speak non-stop, "The Dragon Palace back then not only controlled the marine domain but also reached for the rivers of the Nine Provinces, harboring ambitions to establish a dynasty. Unfortunately, first, it was defeated by the Grand Ancestor who shot the sea god Yu Qiang eight hundred years ago, forcing it to retreat from the Nine Provinces, and then it lost the Azure Dragon Dao Fruit four hundred years ago. Although its foundation still exists now, it's not what it used to be."

As Jiang Li knew, the two current Third Grades of the Dragon Palace were a Da Kun and a Xuanwu; they were impressive both in style and in the original owners of their Dao Fruits, yet still fell short compared to the sea god and the Azure Dragon.

Especially the Azure Dragon King from four hundred years ago, who was a powerhouse aspiring to advance to the Second Grade, reportedly even crafting schemes to lure other third grades to the sea as interference, while silently sneaking in himself.

The outcome was that the Azure Dragon King was killed, and the Azure Dragon Dao Fruit was then taken by the then Emperor who arrived, and bestowed to the Meng Family.

While speaking, Tianxuan moved subtly with Gongsun Qingyue, positioning herself next to the Master of Rain while Gongsun slightly distanced herself from Jiang Li, assuming the demeanor of a junior.

The Master of Rain had no particular reaction to the change in position but was somewhat amused by Gongsun Qingyue's small actions.

'This girl, does she really think I would fancy younger ones? If you must be wary, you should guard against this one next to me—your master.'

The Master of Rain remained wordless, still unaware of how far the master-disciple trio had developed, and she carried on speaking in response to Tianxuan's topic, "Though the sea god Yu Qiang was slain and his body taken away by his companions, his essence energy was left in Dragon Abyss Lake at the instant of his death; thus ever since then, rain clouds arose over Dragon Abyss Lake, the water wells up, surging powerfully."

"The suggestion is to ultimately break apart Treasure Extreme Cave Heaven and pour it into the Earth Veins, lest it be used by that one again." The Master of Rain said to Tianxuan.

The ginseng fruit tree in Treasure Extreme Cave Heaven had already been removed, the mountains and buildings within it thoroughly destroyed, and there was only concern for the Heavenly Monarch making use of it once more in the future.

Rather than allowing the Heavenly Monarch to utilize it again in the future, it would be better to break it apart now to solidify the earth veins of the Divine Capital.

Meanwhile, Tianxuan nodded, and a bright moon rose above her head.
