Taiyi Dao Fruit

The Yin Yang Yoke is the common point Jiang Li has chosen, which is the "two in the creation of three," using it to construct transformations. First, he used this to connect the Three Tombs and created the "Emperor's Pole Worldly Book," acquiring the Eight-Nine Profound Skill, comprehending transformations, and being able to manifest various forms using the Yin Yang Yoke.

Now having obtained the method of transformation of the All-Heaven Life Savagery, Jiang Li feels the Dao of life and death is clear in his heart, peering into the extremes of Yin and Yang.

The rapid initial formation of the Chi You Phase is because Jiang Li has understood Yin and Yang, truly grasping the commonality of all things.

The mountains are like this, the wind and clouds are like this, the Yinglong Dragon and Golden Crow are like this, the Heavenly Dharma is naturally no exception.

Jiang Li has gradually formed his own Heavenly Dharma, differing from the formless and shapeless of the Heavenly Monarch.

The ingenious and unfettered transformation greatly stirred the heart of the Primordial Lord Rain Master. Her enchanting eyes widened obviously, revealing a look of astonishment. She looked at Jiang Li's palm as if looking at the most precious treasure in the world. This extraordinarily original understanding greatly broadened the horizons of the Rain Master, who also cultivated the "Form Tomb."

"Here—"

The Rain Master pointed at Jiang Li's palm and said: "There is a slight flaw in the talisman here."

While speaking, she also extended her right hand, where scales and keratin appeared intricately, demonstrating transformation at an extremely slow pace.

An eye-like vertical mark appeared on Jiang Li's brow, examining the delicate Dragon Claw, refining its transformation, and adjusting the talisman slightly.

The Yin Yang Yoke constructs various forms; as long as Jiang Li understands its principle and form, he can manifest transformations. However, if there is a bias in the knowledge, the transformations will naturally have flaws. Since Yinglong Dragon has only left the Dao Fruit, Jiang Li naturally cannot see the true Yinglong Dragon and lacks the depth of understanding in the Yinglong Transformation compared to the Rain Master with years of cultivation.

With the guidance of the Rain Master, Jiang Li made subtle adjustments, and gradually, his prowess in the Yinglong Transformation advanced rapidly.

The Primordial Lord Rain Master most likely had once realized the Yinglong Dao Fruit and comprehended the form of the Yinglong. Her current mastery of the Yinglong Transformation is nearly identical to the true Yinglong Dragon, though some aspects still have discrepancies.

Observing her transformation, Jiang Li benefited greatly, as if referencing the true Yinglong Dragon.

For the Rain Master, Jiang Li's use of the Yin Yang Yoke to construct various forms and comprehend the transformation of all things was exquisitely intricate, clearing her vision. Before, the mastery of the Yinglong Transformation made her feel like she had reached the end of the road. However, after hearing Jiang Li's understanding, it indeed felt like seeing a village after another dark turn.

Though the two are both close to Tianxuan and essentially loyal allies, genuine closeness is naturally not there.

Their greatest connection is, of course, Tianxuan.

Possibly, there is also the Rain Master Token.

Initially, when Jiang Li and Gongsun Qingyue went to Yong Province, they received the Rain Master Token from Yang Ji of the Taiping Sect, gaining initial insight into the transformation of wind and rain. At that time, the situation was unclear. Later, it became known that the Rain Master was one of their own, realizing that the trip to Yong Province was ultimately secured by her.

Aside from these two points, at most, they only collaborated to trick Zhang Zhixuan once.

That's all.

Given the lack of deep connection, their interaction should have been distant; however, with a common topic, the sense of estrangement vanished completely.

It wasn't until the moon reached its zenith, past midnight, that the Primordial Lord Rain Master reluctantly stopped the exchange.

She looked at the moonlight in the sky, amazed at the swift passage of time.

Simultaneously, the Rain Master was astonished at Jiang Li's adeptness in interaction. Conversing with him truly felt like bathing in the spring breeze, the communication being incredibly smooth. This was not merely explainable by innate talent; Jiang Li evidently had an extremely rich experience.

Unbeknownst to her, Jiang initially built connections with two Outer Disciples elders, pampering them comfortably, thus having a contented Outer Disciple experience.

'No wonder Yuan Xichun was charmed.'

The Rain Master once again marveled in her heart at the freshness and tastiness of the 'young grass,' then said, "That's all for today. You should rest. I also need some time to sort through today's gains. I truly benefited greatly today."

As she spoke, she subtly changed her form of address from "My seat" to "I," indicating a greater familiarity between them.

In response, Jiang Li was about to get up and leave, as the Rain Master had been meditating and resting here the past few days.

However, the Rain Master just waved her hand, indicating that Jiang Li need not leave, and got up gracefully to leave.

······

······

The Rain Master left the Shooting Flood Dragon Platform, like a light cloud floating down to a hill near Qiong Mountain.

She looked up at the moonlight, gently waved her sleeve, and a round light flew out from the sleeve, landing in mid-air in front of her, transforming into a round mirror. In the mirror appeared the figures of Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue, both of whom were sitting upright and dignified, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"Jiang Li has awakened, no danger," the Rain Master stated.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Qingyue noticeably breathed a sigh of relief. Though Tianxuan remained calm, the Rain Master, aware of subtle cues, could sense a slight relaxation from her as well.

Although they claimed to punish Jiang Li by letting him sleep alone for a few days, this was merely a minor punishment. They were still concerned about Jiang Li's safety. Involving the Warlord Chi You entails no small matters.

That is a legendary malevolent deity, a War God, which no one dares to neglect, even if, in theory, the Warlord is also considered an ancestor of the Jiang family.

Before Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue left, they instructed the Rain Master to contact her once Jiang Li awakened and inform them of the situation. Now reassured that Jiang Li was unharmed, they naturally felt at ease.

However, Tianxuan was unaware that Jiang Li had long woken up, just that the Primordial Lord Rain Master had lost track of time······

"Very well."

Tianxuan nodded and said, "For the time being, please guide Jiang Li, Master Uncle."

Regarding the guidance, the Rain Master felt a bit embarrassed. Because of her 'guidance' with Jiang Li, she lost track of time and only remembered to notify Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue when the moon reached its zenith.

In fact, if it weren't for this matter, the Rain Master would still be conversing on profound theories with Jiang Li.

If a vengeful Tianxuan found out, the Rain Master would definitely face retribution.

Considering that the master-disciple duo had been waiting all this time, it was fortunate that the Primordial Lord Rain Master was also quite astute, not letting the two foxes before her detect anything amiss.

She nodded slightly and said: "I can do that."

After speaking, the Rain Master pondered for a moment and then asked, "When can Baoji Cave Heaven be completely sealed?"

"Within seven days," Tianxuan replied, "I will expedite matters in Baoji Cave Heaven, allowing Master Uncle to return to contemplate the Yinglong Dao Fruit."

"Good."

The Rain Master nodded, feeling satisfied.

She could not wait to take Jiang Li to contemplate the Yinglong Dao Fruit.

While before she estimated that Jiang Li might offer her some gains, after their conversation, the Primordial Lord Rain Master was now fully assured that she would gain significantly.

Jiang Li's understanding of the "Form Tomb" is rare across generations. At least in this era, only Ji Jiji, who founded the "Yin Talisman Scripture," can match Jiang Li.

The two have both broken through the confines of the "Form Tomb" and achieved great success on that foundation.

"I appreciate it, Master Uncle."

Tianxuan left a final word before proactively severing the round light.

At least in front of the Rain Master, she still couldn't show excessive intimacy.

The Rain Master also breathed a sigh of relief, having avoided showing Tianxuan that she had forgotten the time.

...

...

The bright moon began to wane westward, the moonlight slanting through the window where Jiang Li and Tianxuan once fought, falling on the two women in front of the dressing table.

Tianxuan dissipated the communication's round light, lowered her phoenix eyes, pondered for a moment, then said: "I still feel a bit uneasy."

She softly called out: "Xiao Tian."

Outside, a dog's bark immediately responded.

"Woof."

Under the moonlight, a Big Dog appeared silently, squatting on the ground.

Inside, Tianxuan's instructions echoed: "Go, watch over your master. If anything happens, report immediately to me."

Xiao Tian accepted the order, flickered, and disappeared into the moonlight.
