Taiyi Dao Fruit

One person hasn't seen through it, the other has seen through but doesn't say it, and so the secret between master and apprentice continues to be maintained.

However, Elder Tianquan is not a naive person. The six elders of the Dinghu Sect are the leading figures of the previous generation, with talent and wisdom of the highest caliber. Even Elder Kaiyang, often ridiculed as a crude martial artist, is not truly a brainless brute.

To prevent Elder Tianquan from genuinely detecting anything, the Rain Master interjected, "Jiang Li, you try first to see if you can sense the Yinglong Dao Fruit."

Her greatest reliance for comprehending the Yinglong Dao Fruit this time was Jiang Li, this vigorous junior who had already satisfied the requirements for the Dao Fruit Promotion Ceremony.

Their previous discussions had already led to mutual understanding. With the Rain Master's assistance, Jiang Li had made significant progress in the Yinglong Transformation, and their mastery in this Magic Door was already interconnected. If Jiang Li could comprehend something from the Yinglong Dao Fruit, it would also apply to the Rain Master.

These words immediately changed the topic. Jiang Li could see the Rain Master Primordial Lord's good intentions and immediately concentrated his mind, first repressing his Divine Killing Mechanism to avoid any accidents, and then sensing the Dao Fruit.

A vast and unfathomable aura appeared in the perception, as boundless as the sky, as vast as the sea, yet ever-changing and elusive.

Undoubtedly, this was the aura of the Yinglong.

And when Jiang Li sensed the Dao Fruit, the Yinglong Dao Fruit also detected the presence of a qualified being. The coiled Divine Dragon with wings slowly opened its eyes.

"Hoo—"

The dragon exhaled a large stream of white breath, which gathered into clouds, and the Yinglong slightly raised its wings and rose on the clouds.

The calm underwater world suddenly gave rise to fierce waves, and the coiled dragon body unfolded, its pair of wings ascending, and the pillar-like body stood in front of everyone.

In just a blink of an eye, everyone was surrounded by Yinglong's Body, and mountain-like shadows appeared all around, while above, the Yinglong arched its neck, its head slightly bowed, and its dazzling golden dragon pupils shone like the Great Sun.

The ancient myth's vastness and weightiness were embodied in this body, and the fierce momentum of the battle dragon transformed into tangible ripples, sweeping through the water waves.

This was the Yinglong.

Jiang Li's eyes widened, his Heavenly Eye manifested, staring unblinkingly at the massive Divine Dragon body.

No matter how advanced the cultivation of the Yinglong Transformation was, it could not compare to the impact of truly seeing the Yinglong's original body. After all, the Yinglong Transformation is essentially a simulation through the Form Tomb, and its essence is a dharma body constructed with talismans.

But now, the dragon shadow before the eyes was the true form of the Yinglong.

Just like seeing the Golden Crow Relics in the Divine Farmer's Cauldron that greatly advanced the Qi Tomb, after seeing the Yinglong's true form, Jiang Li's mastery of the Yinglong Transformation unveiled the final veil.

Already adept at the Eight-Nine Profound Skill of transformation, and with the assistance of the Rain Master Primordial Lord, Jiang Li's achievement in Yinglong Transformation advanced rapidly. At this moment, seeing the Yinglong's true form and subtly resonating with the Dao Fruit, communicating the Qi, there was no more doubt.

Scales appeared on his cheeks and body, turning into scale armor, his back slowly swelled, and suddenly, his clothes tore open, a pair of wings unfurled from behind.

All of Jiang Li's bones emitted thunderous sounds, his spine undulated like a great dragon, driving the transformation and expansion of his body.

"Aow—"

Finally, Jiang Li let out a long roar, and his form changed into an elongated dragon shape.

His body stretched over twenty zhang, naturally a mere speck compared to the true form of the Yinglong Dao Fruit, but the dragon shape and aura were exactly the same, and even had a bit more authenticity compared to the massive Yinglong.

And beside him, upon seeing Jiang Li's transformation, the Rain Master Primordial Lord's eyes also shone brightly.

Just as Jiang Li advanced by witnessing her dragon transformation, so too did the Rain Master Primordial Lord feel a sense of opportunity; her already perfected Yinglong Transformation showed promise of further progress.

Her Qi Mechanism fluctuated involuntarily, gradually revealing the dragon form, and another Yinglong appeared in this place.

The three auras resonated, stirring the underwater world, and even, in reality—

"Splash—"

The waters of Dinghu suddenly surged; beneath the torrent, a colossal creature seemed to be moving, and amid the indistinct visibility, shadows of scales and claws could be vaguely seen.

The temperature atop the Artifact Pavilion island abruptly changed; the heat that had persisted for years surprisingly showed signs of diminishing, and a cool breeze swept through the mountains, bringing an unprecedented coolness.

The Artifact Pavilion disciples, engaged in casting, were the first to notice the change, with many furnaces even suddenly decreasing in temperature, forcing the casting of weapons to either halt or be ruined.

For a time, the entire Artifact Pavilion island erupted into commotion.

Angry shouts, confused voices, loud calls... all sorts of sounds erupted, as artifact refiners left their Stone Houses and furnaces, seeking the reason for the temperature change.

In this environment, no one noticed a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man quietly arriving at a lakeside cliff, overlooking the rolling waves.

A faint yellow halo formed clouds in his eyes, reflecting the golden celestial scene in his pupils, as an indifferent gaze through these eyes looked towards the somewhat restless Dinghu.

"Yinglong Dao Fruit..."

"It seems they want to resolve the Drought Demon Ba calamity."

In the eyes of the middle-aged Artifact Refiner, a figure gradually solidified, and the oscillations of thoughts reverberated, "To advance amidst the recent tumultuous times, internal Sect dangers must be eliminated first. After resolving the Drought Demon Ba, next would be the Sect Leader position."

Even now, "Heavenly Monarch" Gongsun Qi is still the Sect Leader of the Dinghu Sect, and even the Sect disciples are unaware of the Sect Leader's betrayal.

This gives the Heavenly Monarch a chance to return and take control of the Sect.

As opponents to the Heavenly Monarch, Tianxuan and Jiang Li naturally have to eliminate the possibility of chaos within the Sect.

A faint light like electricity flickered in the Qi Refiner's eyes, representing powerful thoughts oscillating. The Heavenly Monarch's intention controlled this body's head, turning to gaze at the direction of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, staring for a long time...

"Unfortunately, I cannot strike directly." He regrettably abandoned the intention to act first.

It's not just because of his own injuries, but also because Jiang Li could directly connect with Heaven.

Though Heaven is now injured, it can still lend its power to Jiang Li to deal with Yellow Heaven.

Others can make a move against Jiang Li, but not the Heavenly Monarch.

And now, others...

The Heavenly Monarch thought of the outcome of persuading the Immortal Queen before, and the figure in his eye pupils dimmed.

Everyone is waiting, whether it's the Immortal Queen, the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer, or the Buddha Country. Jiang Li is also waiting, striving to advance during this time.

And while everyone is waiting, the Heavenly Monarch has no choice but to wait too.

He, the one who had stirred the waves to create the current situation, now found himself somewhat bound by his own trap, feeling constrained by the situation.

When he couldn't strike at Jiang Li, and others didn't want to act due to waiting, Jiang Li obtained the best time to develop.

"I can only wait too."
