Taiyi Dao Fruit

Chapter 116: First Encounter with the Yinglong Dragon



"All things bear Yin and embrace Yang; Dinghu is Yin, and Heaven and Earth Furnace is Yang. These two exist together. Similarly, Drought Demon Dao Fruit and Yinglong Dao Fruit are mutually generative and suppressive, naturally located close to one another."

Tianxuan slowly spoke about the principle of Yin and Yang, drawing circles with his hands and activating the Qimen.

As a gentle ripple appeared, a grand and magnificent scene was projected between Tianxuan's hands.

First was the Eight Hundred Miles Ding Lake, beneath the vast waters, the riverbed undulated like a dragon, while the location of the Heaven and Earth Furnace was at the dragon's mouth.

The furnace penetrated the earth's layer, communicating with the Earth Fire, being the Yang within the Yin, internally suppressing the Drought Demon.

Subsequently, the scene changed, penetrating the layers deep underground, revealing a world of molten rock akin to purgatory, with flowing magma emitting a golden-red glow.

Yet, within this realm, there existed a lake, faintly showing the shadow of a dragon coiling and sleeping within.

Aboveground was Yang within Yin, and underground was Yin within Yang.

One above, one below, one Yin, one Yang, opposing each other.

"The Drought Demon draws the ancient evil fire from the earth's center upwards, but is intercepted and filtered by Yinglong Dao Fruit, the power is diminished, provided for the sect's members for artifact refining, and blocked from sinking further into the earth's center. The intercepted evil fire, in turn, protects the Yinglong Dao Fruit and the stored Chi You Three Disks Scripture within."

"Adding the Xuanyuan Sword to suppress Yin and Yang, stabilizing the polar forces, seals are formed. Furthermore, nurturing the Xuanyuan Sword with Yin and Yang, tempering its edge with water and fire."

Tianxuan slowly explained the arrangement, prompting Jiang Li and the newly informed Gongsun Qingyue to inwardly marvel at such a grand scheme.

But, generally, there should come a 'but' at this point.

Sure enough, Tianxuan continued: "However, Jiang Zhuyun's actions at that time revealed a flaw to me as a master."

"If one uses Yinglong's Scale to communicate with Yinglong Dao Fruit, and uses Chi You's Weapon to incite Yinglong's hostility, causing the Dao Fruit to riot, it may disrupt Yin and Yang, reversing the poles."

If so, Yinglong Dao Fruit rises to the surface, and the Drought Demon can sink to the underground magma, like a dragon entering the sea, escaping its predicament.

With Jiang Li's current realm, he almost instantly realized the consequences, secretly acknowledging the ruthlessness of this maneuver.

If successful, the entire Ding Lake might evaporate, with Jiang Li possibly dying within.

Although theoretically, the Jiang Family poses a greater threat than a desperate fight, the inherent danger made Jiang Li contemplate killing Jiang Zhuyun again.

Fortunately, Tianxuan anticipated this, immediately pulling Jiang Zhuyun into the Void Illusion Realm, removing the opportunity for Yinglong Dao Fruit to riot.

"The Jiang Family must have been plotting for a long time; otherwise, even with Dragon Scale, they shouldn't be able to communicate with the Dao Fruit. After that incident, I let the Earth God Domain isolate the earth's layers, cutting off communication, yet there's always a risk of unforeseen events. Fortunately, the sects have historically sought to permanently eliminate future troubles, and the previous generation, with intent towards Yinglong Dao Fruit, if successful, we need not worry about this threat in the future."

While speaking, Tianxuan performed a seal technique, an invisible wave pulling at everyone's hearts.

'Void Illusion Realm?'

Jiang Li's mind was suddenly enlightened.

No wonder the Master of Rain found it difficult to directly comprehend Yinglong Dao Fruit; it requires indirect contact through the Void Illusion Realm.

Thus, it is convenient and safe, with no concern for causing chaos.

The content of the Chi You Three Disks Scripture, projected onto the earth, likely uses a similar method.

No wonder Tianxuan, a player of Qimen, insisted on practicing such a technique as the Void Illusion Realm, even Gongsun Qingyue grasped the threshold of the Dream Realm Technique through Yaoji Dao Fruit, indicating the important role of such a technique.

Thinking inwardly, Jiang Li could feel his consciousness being drawn. With the Xuanyuan Sword as a pivot to suppress Yin and Yang, Tianxuan moved everyone's consciousness, projecting them into a mysterious blue world.

The surrounding scenes changed, from the Heaven and Earth Furnace to the deep underwater. Water currents surged all around, yet without a feeling of suffocation, although obvious resistance was felt during movement.

"Wu——"

A low and long breathing sound echoed, causing water waves, the familiar frequency making Jiang Li instantly guess the source of the sound.

It was Yinglong's Breath, reminiscing the past when Jiang Li had practiced the True Intent Technique Python with this breathing and tempered his body.

He immediately followed the flowing water's ripple downwards, a colossal Divine Dragon came into view.

Extending like mountain ranges, almost impossible to see to the end. Golden scales, even in deep water, shone without dulling, radiating a gentle glow, with giant wings slightly spreading, covering the massive dragon body.

Solely in terms of body grandeur, Jiang Li dared to say only the Candle Dragon's Body of the Great Venerable could compare with Yinglong he had ever seen in his life.

The Divine Dragon was still in slumber, its body forming a giant serpent array, leaving a basin-like space at its center.

A stone platform stood in this space, topped with a bone-made scripture as large as a yard.

That should be the Chi You Three Disks Scripture itself.

"This is the illusion of Yinglong Dao Fruit. To comprehend this Dao Fruit, one must utilize the Xuanyuan Sword and perform Taixu Illusion Technique. Otherwise, the only option is to personally delve underground."

Tianxuan also looked down, saying: "The Seal Technique to utilize the Xuanyuan Sword's power is known only to the Family Head of the Gongsun Family. Coincidentally, I plan to secretly ascend, so why not spend this time in the Heaven and Earth Furnace together with you."

Gongsun Qingyue: "..."

Jiang Li saw his senior sister's face turn somewhat stiff.

Gongsun Qingyue had previously mentioned frequently visiting Jiang Li to prevent loneliness, teasing Tianxuan's face, yet unexpectedly now receives recompense,

Tianxuan simply stayed here.

Moreover, her reasoning was appropriate, secretly ascending is indeed a matter demanding the utmost secrecy and thorough preparation.

Even though Tianxuan had long been indistinguishable from Doumu Yuanjun Dao Fruit, she still needed meticulous preparation.

This period, it's better to avoid appearing and stay in the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

"Master, why don't I know about this?"

Gongsun Qingyue gritted her silver teeth, striving to maintain a calm expression, and asked.

"Once you become the family head, you'll naturally know." Tianxuan replied lightly.

Implying: the future belongs to you, but for now, remain obedient, evil disciple.

"By the way, Tianxuan Hall must have accumulated quite some affairs these days. Since I'm ascending, I'll leave these matters for you to handle." Tianxuan added.

Gongsun Qingyue's eye twitched, almost grinding her teeth to bits.

The old demon, truly deceitful, if she weren't outmatched, Gongsun Qingyue would have taught her a lesson.

"Yes, Master." Gongsun Qingyue tried hard not to reveal any signs to Elder Tianquan.

Meanwhile, the Master of Rain watched the master-disciple pair with hidden tension, realizing his previous thoughts might be mistaken.

The relationship between this master and disciple was simply a mess.
