Taiyi Dao Fruit

'Innate Qi!'

Though the Qi mechanism was initiated by Tianxuan, it seemed as if it originated from Jiang Li himself. Since Tianxuan already holds an advantage in certain aspects, and with the Qi mechanism now mimicking Jiang Li perfectly, it naturally attracts the Yinglong Dao Fruit more than Jiang Li himself.

So the question arises, how did Tianxuan come to possess Innate Qi, and how is she able to imitate Jiang Li's Qi mechanism so closely that there is no discernible difference?

The Jiang family's "Qi Tomb" was created by Emperor Yan using his own Divine Farmer's appearance as the foundation, making it an exclusive magic door of the Divine Farmer's appearance. This means that those who could cultivate "Qi Tomb" either have similar characteristics or possess the bloodline of Emperor Yan.

Outsiders can't comprehend the "Qi Tomb" magic door without a high realm to modify it, otherwise it's difficult to grasp its essence.

But for those who do have the capacity to modify the "Qi Tomb," their achievements in Qi would approach those of Emperor Yan himself, so there's no real need to comprehend the "Qi Tomb."

Even someone as brilliant as Ji Jiji had to create Luu Tianpeng, a clone with Jiang family's bloodline, to achieve something in "Qi Tomb," and also painstakingly set up a scheme to steal the secrets of the Divine Farmer's appearance through Jiang Li.

Ji Jiji couldn't completely bypass the limitations of bloodline, and Tianxuan shouldn't be able to either. Even if it's not the genuine Innate Qi, but just like the ordinary Primordial Qi of the Jiang family, it shouldn't be possible to cultivate it. Thus, theoretically, the innate Qi of Jiang Li shouldn't be possible for Tianxuan to simulate.

Unless...

The thoughts of Primordial Lord Rain Master were interrupted by discordant words like Qi connection and divine communication.

As a part of the Daoist inheritance left by Emperor Xuan Yuan, there are still some magic doors within the Sect relating to the Emperor's concubines. Although Primordial Lord Rain Master hasn't delved into this area, she's not unfamiliar with it.

She already suspected the progress between Tianxuan and Jiang Li's relationship, and now it seems confirmed.

Moreover, Tianxuan's actions also indicate a stance: no more pretending, laying cards on the table, admitting to having a close relationship with her disciple.

It seems that the year spent together in the Heaven and Earth Furnace had made Tianxuan quite impatient.

With someone like Primordial Lord Rain Master who is a master in name but acts as a father, Tianxuan truly couldn't have overly intimate actions with Jiang Li. She intended to leave Jiang Li aside, but inadvertently put herself aside as well. For someone skilled in calculation and divination like Tianxuan, this was quite the joke.

However, it was also this year of co-cultivation that allowed Tianxuan to see that Jiang Li and Primordial Lord Rain Master had no further development possibility. Jiang Li himself is quite rational, and Primordial Lord Rain Master very devoted to cultivation, with no intention to get involved in such a complicated relationship. Both maintained restraint, even if there were thoughts, they would be promptly extinguished.

Furthermore, having already been promoted, Tianxuan felt more assured and directly laid her cards on the table.

Though marriage in the open wasn't possible, to still be covering up in front of one's own people would not suit Tianxuan's ambitions. Although the saying goes that a legal wife isn't as good as a concubine, and a concubine isn't as good as a secret affair, Tianxuan had no thoughts of shame.

Besides, elevating a lover could be quite a thrilling experience, especially when revealing this relationship in front of her evil disciple.

Tianxuan joyfully guided the Yinglong, her crystal jade-like fingers sketching out a talisman, sealing the dragon shadow within, and then gently pushing it towards the Primordial Lord Rain Master, transforming it into a mark upon her palm.

In that instant, Primordial Lord Rain Master sensed Jiang Li's Qi merge with her being, with changes more profound than what was initially visible.

Since ancient times, star formations have been inseparable from divination interpretations. Now that Tianxuan has become Doumu Yuanjun, making further breakthroughs in Yi Dao, she's nearing the realm of a Great Venerable. Her current actions precisely involve manipulating cause and effect, using her own Qi as a nexus to obscure causality.

This talisman named "Shape-shifting Fruit Token" allows Primordial Lord Rain Master and Jiang Li to be linked through cause and effect, making her akin to a second Jiang Li just like Tianxuan.

Compared to Tianxuan, her compatibility in power body attributes even goes a step further; now she wears Jiang Li's guise, causing the Yinglong Dao Fruit to shift direction again, flying towards Primordial Lord Rain Master.

The Dao fruit itself lacks intelligence, and although it can take on the form of Yinglong, it's essentially just a remnant of the Yinglong. Even if deceived face to face, the Yinglong Dao Fruit remains unresponsive, simply adhering to compatibility, drawing near to Primordial Lord Rain Master.

The large dragon form gradually diminishes, and as it comes closer, it transforms into a totem, hovering before the Rain Master.

The Rain Master immediately took out a large seal carved from jade, accommodating the Yinglong totem within.

This jade seal is an upgraded version of the Jade Talisman, capable of holding third-grade Dao Fruits, but like the Jade Talisman, it cannot serve as a Dao Artifact to exhibit parts of the Dao Fruit's abilities.

However, for the Rain Master, this was sufficient.

'With this, Uncle Master need no longer be bound to one place and can study the Yinglong Dao Fruit at any time,' Tianxuan said with a smile after completing everything.

Neither would she be disturbed.

This was truly a win-win.

Add Qing Yue into the calculation, and it became a three-way win.

'Let the "Chi You Three Disks Scripture" continue to be sealed here. Now, no need to suppress Yin and Yang. Even to suppress Earth Fire, the suppression by the Xuanyuan Sword would only become more firm, with no worries of losing it,' Tianxuan added, glancing at the Xuanyuan Sword now revealing its blade.

Meanwhile, the Rain Master was cupping the jade seal with her hand, feeling the Shape-shifting Fruit Token's impression, and sensing the Yinglong Dao Fruit, with an odd thought surfacing in her mind.

Since Tianxuan could simulate Jiang Li's Qi, tricking the Yinglong Dao Fruit, then she...

The Rain Master couldn't deny she was a bit intrigued.

Unlike Tianxuan, who had a red thread tied, the Rain Master was focused on cultivation and rational, keeping her relationship with Jiang Li at the level of fellow Daoists. But also because of her dedication and rationality, she came up with the most appropriate way at this moment.

If she could resonate with the Yinglong Dao Fruit, even without completing the Promotion Ceremony, it would be enough to elevate her Yinglong Transformation to the pinnacle, making the Promotion Ceremony smoother.

Yet if she proceeded this way...

The Rain Master gave a nod to Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue, suppressing her forbidden thoughts.

'Thank you, young niece,' she expressed her gratitude to Tianxuan, her face revealing nothing.

At this time, Jiang Li was also solidifying the Chi You's Flag, incorporating the Outer Object Transformation, and also fixing his weapon under the seal.

'But it's worth it,' Jiang Li thought, saying, 'I must guard the Drought Demon Ba and it's not appropriate to meet others. Let Master handle the court's troop movement.'

Hearing this, Tianxuan sighed softly, 'I shouldn't leave this place so soon.'

Honestly, even though there was such an electrifying presence by her side this past year, it was indeed a rare and precious time for relaxation, and she felt a bit reluctant to leave it behind.

However, this was by no means an ordinary woman, and this thought only flashed momentarily through her mind, never to return, as she turned to analyze the situation's changes.

'Considering what I know about the Immortal Queen, she will soon take action herself.'

Tianxuan said, 'Our cooperation is solely built on helping the Immortal Queen complete the Promotion Ceremony. I never said I won't prevent her promotion thereafter.'

Of course, after establishing oneself as enemies for many years, the enmity had long been ingrained, and one cooperative interest would not turn enemies into friends.

Since this enmity was inevitable, the Immortal Queen would naturally seek to prevent Tianxuan's side from further increasing in power.

Thus, Tianxuan could infer with certainty that the Immortal Queen would indeed take action, even if not first, she would be among the first few.
