Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1245 - 31: Obtaining the Green Duckweed Sword (Part 2)

The long river crashes against the Thirty-three Heavens, and the collision reveals a towering figure within the heavens. The Great Heavenly Venerate reemerges with the Supreme Dharma Body, seizing the formless river of time with one palm.

Meanwhile, on the Great Venerable's side, the Book of Luo River Map continuously evolves in his palm, displaying the scene of the cosmos and star river. The Great Venerable's other hand manipulates space, flowing alongside time, transforming into a blade-like light.

The Book of Luo River Map represents the Cosmic Dao. The Great Venerable had always excelled in Cosmic Light Divine Ability, rarely exhibiting space laws. Now, having ascended to the Second Grade, he finally progresses in Cosmic Dao, flowing alongside Cosmic Light.

The blade-like light touches the Thirty-three Heavens, easily penetrating, with brilliance flowing, colliding with the glorious Divine Light.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the blade light of the long river shatters, yet between the Thirty-three Heavens, water light flows, faintly revealing blade marks.

In a brief exchange, both sides are wounded, but primarily losing an arm, leaving the severely injured Great Heavenly Venerate in even greater peril.

Moreover—

"Retreat."

The Great Sun patrols the sky, the two sun wheels within the tides unify, crashing against the three Dragon Shadows with an unstoppable force. The ultimate Yang flames scorch and, merely with contact, ignite the Great Venerable's incarnation.

The Great Venerable excels in muddying waters, and Jiang Li is well aware. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Yet he aligns with the Great Venerable's intentions, making no attempt to block.

The reason for this is nothing but confidence.

Even if the Great Venerable aids the Great Heavenly Venerate in wreaking havoc, Jiang Li would ensure both meet defeat.

Having ascended to Second Grade, Emperor Jiang, who embodies the Supreme Yang Power of all heavens, is now so inflated.

Now the Great Venerable intercepts the Great Heavenly Venerate, aligning with Jiang Li's desires. The Great Sun patrols with overwhelming force and blazing Yang flames, charging toward the Great Heavenly Venerate and the Great Venerable. Along its path, all things turn to ash, none able to resist.

As the Great Heavenly Venerate and Great Venerable face Jiang Li, a beam of immortal light suddenly penetrates the void, directly descending upon the Great Heavenly Venerate.

"Hm?"

The Great Venerable's gaze shines like the sun and moon, revealing the truth of immortal light, "Time-space law?"

The Great Heavenly Venerate swiftly changes form, unveiling the mysterious yellow Qi, "Dao Space Universe."

"Buzz—"

Yellow like blood, suddenly erupts outward, forming cloud flows, merging with the immortal light, a force seemingly able to shatter Heaven and Earth, even stir time, erupts open, forcibly bursting into countless blade lights.

"Darkness and Brightness."

The Great Venerable slightly closes his eyes, and the world suddenly darkens.

Yet the sun behind instantly explodes with infinite light and heat.

Light and dark intertwine, time and space's waves violently shake, amidst the intertwining of several forces, stirring endless turbidity, in the void that should approach emptiness, seeming to be torn apart.

"Boom!"

Similar to a cosmic explosion, endless torrents push outward, light and dark vanish, leaving only chaos.

At this moment, like before the heavens opened, time unseen, everything is chaos.

Only after a long time, when the chaotic waves expand to the utmost—

"Boom!"

A booming sound arises, chaos dissipates, revealing an image of clear and turbid.

A great sun appears amidst the dark tides, illuminating the void.

Within the great sun, a figure emerges, one hand holding a giant banner, while the other wields a light resembling Qiushui. Threads of light extend along the arm, eroding the body yet gradually suppressed by the unparalleled Supreme Yang Power.

"What a pity."

Jiang Li's left eye reveals fiery gold and red, a Great Sun blazing in his eye, while white light faintly appears at his brow, illuminating the dark void distinctly, "Ultimately still couldn't keep the Great Heavenly Venerate."

In perception, the Great Heavenly Venerate is unseen, and equally, the Great Venerable's trace is absent.

In the last moment, the Great Heavenly Venerate was taken away by that beam of immortal light, while the Great Venerable collided Divine Skills of the Candle Dragon's [Darkness and Brightness] with the sun's light.

Even though this Divine Skills couldn't obscure the sun's brilliance, it created an opportunity for the Great Venerable to escape.

The only gain from this great battle······

Jiang Li gazes at the sword light in his hand, golden flames emerge from his arm, driving back the Sword Qi, as the sword light gradually recedes, revealing the sword's body akin to Qiushui within.

Green Duckweed Sword.

This First Grade Dao Artifact, which Jiang Li once missed, returns to Jiang Li's hand.

Using Divine Thought, Jiang Li pulls in a black sheath from the void, sheathing the Green Duckweed Sword, allowing the Sword Qi to be contained.

Thus, two of the Three Pure Dao Artifacts have come into Jiang Li's possession, counting allied Dao Artifacts, effectively all Three Pure Dao Artifacts align with Jiang Li.

The Daoist Lord wants to use the Tai Chi Diagram to stabilize Earth Veins, as a hub for the Pure and impure transformation, Jiang Li can equally comprehend the Tai Chi Diagram. From a certain perspective, all Three Pure Dao Artifacts are subjects for his research.

Regarding usage······

Even if the Tai Chi Diagram were given to Jiang Li, it wouldn't be easy for him to use. The prolonged use of the Pangu Banner alone could dry up Jiang Li, the Green Duckweed Sword also exacts a self-injurious price.

Even with three bodies, none would want to simultaneously pay the price of using the Three Pure Dao Artifacts.

Whether the Tai Chi Diagram is in Jiang Li's hand or not actually makes little difference.

"Finally the grand momentum has fallen into my hands."

Jiang Li looks at the Pangu Banner and Green Duckweed Sword in his hand, immense pride emerging, "Hahahahahahahaha······"

[At this moment, Jiang Li laughs like a villain.]

The Karma Collection authentically presents the corresponding description.

······

······

A beam of immortal light spans hundreds of thousands of miles, directly descending on an immortal mountain overseas.

The immortal light converges, revealing the Great Heavenly Venerate's pitiable figure.

His right arm is severed, still unhealed, faint Clear Light Sword Energy appears at the wound, preventing recovery. His body furthermore shows faint light flowing, each fluctuation conveying a sense of time passing, slightly diminishing his Qi Mechanism.

"It's rare to see you so pitiable, Great Heavenly Venerate."

The immortal light coagulates, transforming into mirror-like matter, faintly revealing a refined dignified figure within, "How does it feel to lose to a junior? If not for my intervention, you'd have become a stepping stone for a junior by now."

"If it were you, you wouldn't fare much better," the Great Heavenly Venerate coldly replies, glancing at the figure, "I didn't expect you to have recovered Essence Qi······ Ah, when the Immortal Queen helped that descendant of mine refine an Immortality Elixir, it seems the Immortality Elixir given to the Immortal Queen was used on you."

Back then, the Former Emperor sought to escape the limits of lifespan, also due to the Heavenly Monarch's deliberate guidance, collaborating with the Immortal Queen, using Ginsengfruit as material, the Divine Farmer's Cauldron as the tool, to refine an Immortality Elixir.

Although ultimately, the Former Emperor's effort was in vain, the Immortal Queen benefited greatly.

Not only completing part of the Promotion Ceremony, but also obtaining some Immortality Elixir.

However, in the end, this Immortality Elixir was used on another existence.

"Your descendant······" The refined silhouette lightly chuckles, "The Great Heavenly Venerate truly plans far ahead, indeed that Grand Ancestor Zhou was you?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Heavenly Venerate slightly pauses, then candidly responds, "It was me."

"Indeed it was you, the world knows Buddhists thrive on incense, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas cultivate the Fire Path, yet none know that before the End of Dharma, you Great Heavenly Venerate truly held the most incense power in Heaven and Earth."

The silhouette speaks with a tone of expected discovery, indifferently says, "Those thief monks of the Buddhist faith can use incense to preserve their True Spirit, you Great Heavenly Venerate can equally do so. Even after the End of Dharma, your faith gradually declined, but the foundation left behind allowed you to persist longer than we. Therefore, you awoke 800 years ago and reincarnated, correct?"

"Sacrificed under the guise of Great Zhou's Grand Ancestor, unified with Heaven, then split the Fuxi Dao Fruit. Emperor Dao Fruit emerged in the second generation of Great Zhou Emperor, just after Great Zhou's Grand Ancestor Ji Daoyang died. The Great Heavenly Venerate's plans truly span deep yet unfortunately······"

"Unfortunately, I failed, didn't I?" The Great Heavenly Venerate replies indifferently, "Then what do you want from me, the King Mother?"
