Taiyi Dao Fruit

However, Earth Uncle has already lost.

A surge of vast energy rushed into the Yin World at this moment, manifesting the figure of the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer.

"Earth Uncle," he looked at the desolate palace, saying, "Hand over the household registration."

The victory was decided; Earth Uncle lost, and he could only abandon his power struggle, even relinquishing the chips in his hand.

The household registration of Great Zhou contains the basic information of all Great Zhou's subjects. When the registration was completed, a strand of each person's origin Qi was also collected.

As long as the household register serves as a medium, the difficulty of divination will be greatly reduced, and even the Nightmare Suppression Technique could be used for curse killing. The Book of Life and Death from the Yin Law Department can arbitrarily plot lifespan because it is connected to Great Zhou's household registration.

To some extent, holding the household register is akin to possessing a key that knows the situation of Great Zhou's subjects. Although this key is not omnipotent and cannot affect some strong individuals, it is enough for Tianxuan and the Princess to completely control the situation.

Even the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer asks Earth Uncle to hand over the household registration, filling the remaining two eyes of Earth Uncle with gloom.

The Sacrificial Officer does not entirely stand on Tianxuan's side; he advocates for stability in the court, but this doesn't prevent the Sacrificial Officer from kicking Earth Uncle out of the game first.

Evidently, in the Sacrificial Officer's view, Earth Uncle and some members of the Ji Family are one of the biggest destabilizing factors at the moment.

The cost is too high to kill third grade, even hard to ensure successful execution; otherwise, the Sacrificial Officer might really have the thought of removing Earth Uncle.

"There's an ancient saying in the Divine Country: 'A wise man knows when to act.' Earth Uncle may be old, but he shouldn't be a fool."

Jiang Li chuckled and said: "Of course, my thought is that I still hope Earth Uncle can be more determined, so that I can continue to appreciate Earth Uncle's profound cultivation."

Listening to Jiang Li's words, Earth Uncle appeared even more gloomy, clearly having the stance of deciding life and death.

However, he ultimately did not take action, only staring at the three unexpected guests, especially when the Great Sun lingered for a long time, finally waving to send out a ray of light.

The radiance flew straight towards Ming Yue, and when it was about to touch the Moon Wheel, it was frozen by the Qi of Tianxuan.

The brilliance faded away, revealing a scroll made of bamboo slip inside, which Tianxuan examined closely and took.

It's the genuine item!

This made Jiang Li feel quite regretful.

The old man, who had previously exuded a murderous aura, seemed resolved to personally settle the inherently evil Jiang family ghost, only to back down in the end.

It truly is a pity.

After handing over the household registration, Earth Uncle resumed the appearance of an old man with a white beard, speaking coldly: "Next, the Yin Law Department will temporarily retreat from the court. As for who will sit on the throne, that will be for you to decide."

Saying this, Earth Uncle smirked coldly at Tianxuan, "I want to see, in the end, whether it will be Ji Lingguang or Jiang Li who ascends. Gongsun Yuanxi, I hope you won't regret it then."

"That's none of the old ancestor's concern."

Tianxuan replied lightly, flying away straight to the Ghost Gate.

Behind her, although Jiang Li felt a bit regretful, he did not linger either, and also entered the Ghost Gate.

Seeing this, the Sacrificial Officer did not linger further, the vast energy dissipating directly, and dissolved into the Yin World.

He merely traveled with his divine thought; leaving was easy, he'd simply disperse his divine thought.

······

······

Within the Jade Tower, the Ghost Gate rose from the ground, sending out a Primordial Spirit entangled with starlight, re-entering Tianxuan's body.

Soon after, Jiang Li stepped out of the tower's door, his ethereal Primordial Spirit transformed into a physical body the moment it set foot in the Yang World, and the bamboo slip recording the household registration was already in his hands.

Tianxuan, traveling in her Primordial Spirit form, was not convenient for directly carrying the slip, so it naturally ended up with Jiang Li.

When he appeared holding the bamboo slip, the Divine Farmer's Cauldron placed on the tower suddenly stirred, breaking through the floors and directly landing before Jiang Li.

"Boom!"

The cauldron's legs struck the ground with a heavy sound, the dazzling divine light emerging from the Divine Farmer's Cauldron, condensing the shadow of a Great Sun, within which faintly appeared a red emperor's figure.

Emperor Yan's Dao Fruit resonated with Jiang Li, blending with the human aspect, also merging with the divine aspect, offering him a new choice for his third-grade Dao Fruit.

Just this promotion ceremony...

By comprehending the information of Dao Fruit Divine Skills, Jiang Li generally guessed how the promotion ceremony proceeds.

In ancient times, the emperor of the earth would eventually ascend as the Heavenly Emperor, ruling both Heaven and Human realms.

Whether Emperor Yan or Yellow Emperor, both have related legends.

Until Emperor Zhuanxu sealed heaven and earth separate, isolating Heaven and Human realms, the legends ceased.

With such legends in mind, understanding how Emperor Yan's Dao Fruit advances is not difficult.

Ruling the world, proclaiming emperorship over heaven, seems to be the content of the promotion ceremony.

"How to achieve the 'Heaven' aspect, Jiang Li is still unclear, 'Human' on this hand..."

He looked at the scroll in his hand, "Just one step away."

The scroll of azure material seemed bamboo yet like jade, slowly unfolded, names flashing like the number of eternals.

The small scroll holds information on millions upon millions of Great Zhou's people.

Jiang Sikong, powerful in court and field, obtained the household registration of Great Zhou, with two bowls of soft rice at hand. It seems, probably, perhaps...he is not far from the throne.

Precisely because of this, Emperor Yan's Dao Fruit resonated with Jiang Li.

'Well, now it's not just those around me wanting me to be emperor, even Dao Fruit desires me to sit on the Dragon Throne.'

Jiang Li felt a desire to roll his eyes.

But on further thought, it isn't surprising at all that Emperor Yan's Dao Fruit has such a promotion ceremony.

Once the human emperor, Emperor Yan's Dao Fruit inevitably relates to the human emperor.

However, in this case, it is somewhat troublesome.

Jiang Li flipped the scroll repeatedly, feeling somewhat frustrated.

At this moment, Tianxuan opened her eyes, noticing Jiang Li's resonance with the Divine Farmer's Cauldron, a thought crossed her mind, her clever eyes pivoted between the two, seemingly unsurprised.

However, she did not speak plainly but maintained a calm demeanor, first asking about the outside situation.

"The Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law has just been set up, and the Five Generals retreated, King You's warning came later." Gongsun Qingyue responded with a peculiar expression.

This fourth-rank of the Ji Family is indeed decisive, withdrawing upon realizing the inability to intervene, leaving future matters to King You.

Hence, whatever traps there are, they can only ensnare King You's avatar.

Unfortunately, he and King You did not anticipate Jiang Li's target was always Earth Uncle, this arrangement was merely a facade.

"Indeed a talented person."

Tianxuan remarked, standing to take the scroll from Jiang Li's hand, saying: "With the household registration at hand, using the Book of Life and Death no longer faces restraint, moreover..."

Tianxuan's fingers glided over the scroll, eventually pausing on a name, "With this strand of origin Qi, we might attempt to seek Kaiyang's whereabouts."

Tianxuan had already erased records concerning Jiang Li and Gongsun Qingyue from the Book of Life and Death upon obtaining it when Earth Uncle wasn't paying attention. But other records remain.

Among these are several elders of the Dinghu Sect.

Because the fourth-rank records exist therein, the importance of household registration becomes apparent.

Originally, Elder Kaiyang was always shrouded in cause and effect by the Heavenly Monarch, making it difficult for others to divine, yet with household registration at hand, it may be possible to break the Heavenly Monarch's concealment.

"Too bad there's none with the Heavenly Monarch."

Tianxuan flipped through the scroll again. Unsurprisingly, no records of the Heavenly Monarch were found, and certainly none of Ji Jiji's.

Clearly, the opponent wouldn't leave such a flaw exposed.

"However, if Kaiyang can be found, perhaps his tail can be caught."
