Taiyi Dao Fruit

"O!"

The winged dragon, having leaped down from the dome above, caused Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, and the Heavenly Phenomenon drastically changed.

"Stop!"

A Yellow Dragon suddenly emerged in the vast sky, with a deep shout, heavy Divine Light rushed straight to the clouds, extinguishing Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning completely, and the Heavenly Phenomenon suddenly came to a standstill.

Being inherently of the earth-element, having mastery in water, Dao Fruit encountered the change of the Heavenly Phenomenon, was truly tailor-made, with a deep shout, it had already extinguished Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning.

Yet, the golden Yinglong Dragon soared with force to strike down, its Dragon Claw as if covering the heavens, enveloping all directions, the space was drawn in under its claw.

This claw, not only contained the great strength of the dragon, but also secretly included the changes of Dunjia, the Moving Technique of Qiankun.

Yellow Dragon, upon witnessing this, immediately summoned again the heavy Divine Light, its body like the earth, Thick Earth Carries Things.

But at this moment, a fierce beam tore through the sky, attacking and killing straight towards the dragon's eye, the terrifying Evil Qi polluted the earth-element Qi, forcing the Yellow Dragon to reach out its claw to capture it, holding the fierce beam.

Yinglong Dragon seized the opportunity, its claw striking with force, the space-constricting great strength pounded onto the Divine Light, causing the Divine Light to quiver intensely, and the Yellow Dragon involuntarily retreated.

With the Yellow Dragon no longer blocking, the Vermilion Bird's claw descended unimpeded, striking the Qionghuang Azure Dragon Banner that promptly blocked, under the extreme high temperature steam, colliding with Eastern Green Wood Qi, instantly transforming hardness to softness, the Divine Fire scattered, transformed into countless fiery feathers covering the Azure Dragon.

Meng Jun couldn't change his stance in time, using the Azure Dragon Banner to block the fatal blow, causing the front-facing great star to completely disperse wind and thunder, divine fire swept forth, instantly the Azure Dragon burst into flame, its long dragon body turned to firewood, and Meng Jun was shockingly struck, being thrown away as if Thunder Struck.

"Pu!"

While in mid-air, he spat a mouthful of fresh blood, following which the Qionghuang Azure Dragon Banner erupted Green Wood Spirit Light, forcibly stopping his body, simultaneously vitality surged within, wounds swiftly healing.

Yet, the fiery pain in the chest and abdomen persisted, seemingly being scorched by fire at all moments.

Even with wounds healing, the force of the Divine Fire still hasn't dissipated, even trying to swell within Meng Jun's body.

Moreover, the Azure Dragon was completely consumed by the raging flames, all Eastern Green Wood Qi transformed into firewood, fueling the Fire, yet within the Azure Dragon, the Eldest Prince had vanished without a trace, not appearing amidst the fire.

"Hmm?"

Far away on the Xuanyuan Platform on the other side of the Imperial City, a Confucian Scholar with a tall crown and wide belt, holding a great bow, furrowed his brows, his sharp gaze began to sweep.

But before he could find the trace of the Eldest Prince, the Qi Mechanism from behind made his body pause, his five fingers clenched tightly.

"Imperial Historian Xiao Zhi, you should not be here." Zhu Hui'an said, with lowered eyes, indifferently.

It was he who just now used a fierce beam arrow to restrain the Yellow Dragon transformed by King Shu, upon noticing the Eldest Prince vanished without a trace, it was also he who promptly searched first, yet unfortunately was locked onto by someone who ought not be here, having no choice but to give up the search.

"Previously, Hui'an Senior Brother also should not have been near Qiong Mountain, but Senior Brother still appeared there. Now, Younger Brother Xiao should not be here, thus Younger Brother appears here."

A student of the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer, one of Imperial College's Fourth-Grade Experts, Court Imperial Historian — Xiao Zhi stood three zhang away, hands behind his back, speaking in the same indifferent tone.

By his meaning, it seemed to be tit for tat.

But in Zhu Hui'an's view, it wasn't so.

"Teacher indeed can't resist, wishes to welcome back the Emperor in his heart."

As Zhu Hui'an spoke, he strung an arrow containing Five Vile Qi onto the bow, "Gongsun Family Master believed teacher to be a gentleman, but it seems they entrusted the wrong person."

"Teacher promised to stop the Yin Law Department, but that doesn't include others," Xiao Zhi said straightforwardly, "Having fulfilled his promise, how could it be said as entrusted the wrong person. On the contrary, Senior Brother Hui'an, speaking irresponsibly, has betrayed teacher's teachings."

"Ha, when I left the Imperial College, I already owed nothing to teacher."

Zhu Hui'an laughed coldly, his mind turning towards the rear, saying: "You won't win. I must admit that Minister of Works truly planned with divine calculation, even I am left in awe, although teacher is wise and farsighted, his plotting pales in comparison to Minister of Works' by far. At the moment I revealed teacher's intent, you were doomed to never realize your goal."

Each voice and phrase struck the heart, especially involving the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer, this mentor figure, finally anger appeared on Xiao Zhi's face.

However, he still suppressed negative emotions, dragging on time, "But the fact remains, at this moment the Eldest Prince has already found the Emperor."

The Imperial City is vast, yet for the Eldest Prince, having ascended to Fourth-Grade, circling it is merely spending a little time.

As a Prince, familiar with the Imperial City environment, traveling in a straight line towards the North Gate truly requires little effort.

And since the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer is involved, the most crucial link should not be missed.

——The link to open the Emperor's seal.

······

······

A gust of vigorous wind descended to the North Gate, Qi Mechanism erupted, Gang Wind suddenly arose, an Azure Dragon roared forth, wherever it passed, the Forbidden Army guarding either died or were injured, allowing the Azure Dragon to rush into the guard's territory, charging into that Array Formation.

Before the eyes appeared Divine Light, banners fluttered on each Dharma Platform, transforming into Star Official Divine Images.

Yet the Azure Dragon merely twisted its form, easily traversing through the Array Formation, bypassing seven Dharma Platforms, heading straight to the center of the guarded place.

The Divine Light before his eyes gradually dispersed, the Azure Dragon transformed, revealing the figure of Eldest Prince Ji Chengtian, on his handsome face full of excitement.

"Finally... I, no, it is I, the Emperor!"

The Eldest Prince couldn't contain his laughter, simultaneously spreading both hands, a Qian Trigram Seal appeared between his palms, emanating an indescribable fluctuation.
