Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1311 - 72: I Can Be (Third Period of Night)

While Jiang Li was practicing the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique again, there were two other practitioners of this skill within the Daode Sect who also sensed a change in spiritual mechanism and perceived an opportunity, commencing the cultivation magic door.

On the mountain peak, the spiritual mechanism shifted, sometimes transforming into shapes of dragons and tigers, intermingling and refining each other, sometimes like clouds or mist, winding around the mountains, and at other times breaking through the clouds to open the heavens, bathing everything in light, with various anomalies, more than one could count.

Jiang Li's transformation of pure and impure covering the Nine States not only allowed ordinary cultivators to find other paths of progress but also facilitated the advancement of those cultivating the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique.

Since both belong to the same path, the process of refining the impure into the pure could be skipped, directly entering the stage of absorbing and expelling the spiritual mechanism.

Now, with the signs appearing, it further promoted the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique.

Just at a certain moment, the spiritual mechanism suddenly encountered a setback, a dark hue emerged, overshadowing the spirit light.

On the mountain peak, Zhang Daoyi, who was meditating, suddenly showed a black aura on his face, as if his pure light was about to turn into dirt evil.

Luckily, at the critical moment, a young Daoist flashed in, pressing a palm on Zhang Daoyi's heavenly spirit, completely suppressing the black aura, re-refining it into pure qi.

"Whew——"

Zhang Daoyi slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of dirt qi, with a lingering expression of unrest on his face.

"Have you discovered something?" the young Daoist asked.

Zhang Daoyi took two breaths, recalled briefly, and replied, "Disciple sensed the spiritual mechanism like a dragon, anger surging between heaven and earth, inadvertently merging his divine intent with it, refining impurity into purity, but just now, Five Vile Qi descended like a celestial curtain, and afterward, there seemed to be a presence of a demon god-like figure, the rising spiritual mechanism was struck down."

Saying this, Zhang Daoyi looked around, with his Qi Observation Skill, he could clearly observe that the surrounding spiritual mechanism had become somewhat sluggish.

"In such a short time, you're already breathing with the heavens and the earth, truly impressive." The young Daoist exclaimed upon hearing this. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Does Master know who interfered with the spiritual mechanism?" Zhang Daoyi asked.

"Who else could it be? Of course, it's the current Emperor."

The young Daoist, one of the Three Pure Ones of the Daoist Lord, spoke while turning around and walking towards a few wooden huts in the back, swinging his large sleeve.

In front of one of the wooden huts, an array appeared, then rapidly concealed, and the sealed formation opened, allowing the wooden door to open, just in time to see Taibai True Monarch finishing his work.

Taibai True Monarch's face also showed black qi dimming down, evidently just having refined the invasive Five Vile Qi, his brows still carried a sharp expression.

"Although I came in time to help Dao Yi suppress the dirt qi, I cannot always be present," the young Daoist Lord said, "For these days, you should temporarily halt the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique."

"Just because of that muddle-headed Emperor?" Taibai True Monarch raised his brows slightly.

Clearly, Taibai True Monarch had not forgotten the humiliation given by Emperor Jiang on that day.

"You should call him Uncle-Master,"

The Daoist Lord corrected Taibai True Monarch's address, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is currently comprehending the transformation of pure and impure, should you cultivate now, it's easy to be invaded by dirt qi, so better to halt temporarily. Besides, there might be a big battle soon, it's also not the time for seclusion. Elder Brother, have you sensed it too?"

Taibai True Monarch gently stroked the sword on his knee, said: "My 'One Qi to Three Pure Ones' has returned to the right path, Li Qinglian's strength is already close to mine."

"That rascal Great Venerable will surely make a fuss about him, keep it in mind," the Daoist Lord reminded, then said, "A battle between two sides is favorable for your promotion too. If you are still thinking about cultivative Dao Fruit, then go to the South Sea to participate in the battle. However, even if you successfully complete the promotion ceremony, you may not be able to suppress Emperor Gouchen's true spirit. If unsuccessful..."

The Daoist Lord spoke, sending a Taiching Immortal Light into "Wan Guchou".

"Fellow Daoist Gouchen, if my disciple cannot surpass you, please go easy, Poor Dao will fully assist you in revival. If my disciple fortunately gains an edge, he will also preserve Fellow Daoist's true spirit, afterward Poor Dao will aid Fellow Daoist in rebirth."

The words flowed with the immortal light into the sword, a faint divine light emerged on the sword, bringing a reply.

"Junior Brother Xuan Du? Since it's Fellow Daoist's request, I agree."

The true spirit of this Emperor Gouchen, after the last awakening, seemed to have recovered a lot, already able to communicate through immortal light.

His response caused Taibai True Monarch and Zhang Daoyi to both show expressions of surprise.

"Master is the Master Xuan Du?" Taibai True Monarch asked.

"Poor Dao is not, but Poor Dao can be."

The young-looking Daoist Lord seemed to also possess some youthful sentiment, laughing heartily, said: "Only this, the face of Master Xuan Du is truly useful, made Poor Dao couldn't help but borrow it."

It was because of Xuan Du's face that made Gouchen True Spirit give a response.

Otherwise, you coveting my Dao Fruit still thinking of surviving? Really think the title of Great Emperor of the Mortal World's Weapons is just for fun.

While speaking, the Daoist Lord raised a hand, sending several immortal lights, falling on "Wan Guchou", forming an imprint that concealed.

This was a precaution to prevent Emperor Gouchen from reneging, truly seizing Taibai True Monarch's body.

"This is the last resort, what Master can help you with is only this, the rest is up to you,"

The Daoist Lord gathered his sleeves and said: "Afterward, even Master has to make a move."

The smile on his face also completely disappeared, his eyes closed slightly, sensing the changes of purity and impurity, some long-lost memories involuntarily emerging in his mind.

'After so many years, you're finally going to come forth heavenly, Great Venerable.'

The change in spiritual mechanism was perceptible not only in the Nine States but also overseas, some people sensed subtle shifts.

Jiang Li's spiritual mechanism recovery was limited to the Nine States, mostly extending towards the Buddha Country, yet this time the emergence of "activity" was a shift in the entire world.

Though overseas was heavy with the Five Vile Qi, which made the already subtle changes even harder to perceive, for strong ones in the Second Grade Realm, it was not a problem.

Especially among them, possessing a First Grade Dao Artifact Tathagata Buddha.

Almost at the same time the spiritual mechanism shifted, deep beneath the sea, several individuals felt it, among them, Tathagata Buddha holding the Seven Treasures Miao Tree had his halo shining, countless scenes flowing within.

"To be one with the world, it has reached such a realm?"

Tathagata Buddha muttered, the halo like a wheel, Prajnaparamita wisdom combined with divine thought, already sensed Jiang Li's divine intent spreading through the world.

The Nine States, along with these Four Seas Realm, were under Jiang Li's divine intent.

It was only because the divine intent was vast and indiscriminate, merely enveloping, otherwise at this moment, Jiang Li might have been perceiving the scene here.

But even if he had not reached the state of comprehending the world, it was enough to prove Emperor Jiang's realm was advancing, remedying the slightly weaker Daoist skill disadvantage.
