Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1314 - 75: The Essence of the Three Purities and the Terror of the End of Dharma

Beneath the ginseng fruit tree, the outline of a human form was quietly seated, formed by the Five Vile Qi.

In the Three Pure Ones, another Jiang Li also sat in meditation with closed eyes, but his form had transformed into pure light, facing the other turbid body.

Purity and turbidness coexist separately within the two bodies and simultaneously merge with Heaven and Earth, only that one merges with purity and the other transforms into turbidness.

Between purity and turbidness, with [Chongxu's Dao] as a contrast, benefiting from the divine skills of the [Primordial Human], [Chongxu's Dao] elevates to the second grade, drawing out insights on purity and turbidness within the Human Path.

The purity and turbidness, Heaven and Earth, even the varied flow of time between the Three Pure Ones and the human world at a ratio of three hundred and sixty-five to one. These two environments provided Jiang Li with the most stark contrast, wandering between purity and turbidness, sensing the changes of Heaven and Earth, and gaining the wisdom of the Human Path.

Gradually, Jiang Li found the commonality between purity and turbidness, which was the "One" he had been pursuing.

The essence of the Five Primordial Elements is one, merely the Dao's evolution at different stages; the Three Pure Ones were one entity, representing different stages of Heaven and Earth in the Three Pure Ones; purity and turbidness can also be one, like Yin and Yang, capable of mutual transformation.

The current Five Turbid Evil World is actually caused by a diseased Three Pure Ones Dao.

Grasping the essence of the Three Pure Ones Dao, which is the "One," transforming purity and turbidness, and steering the diseased Three Pure Ones Dao back on the right path, is feasible.

Mastering the Three Pure Ones Dao, and even altering it again, is also feasible.

And now, as the Heaven and Earth are changing without transforming, and the Five Turbid Evil World is ending without concluding, Jiang Li co-inhales with Heaven and Earth, sensing with Heaven and Earth, able to comprehend the root of purity and turbidness.

At the same time, the wisdom of the ancestors in the Human Path also flows through his heart.

"The Dao of the Three Pure Ones is the root of Essence Qi. Tracing this Dao back to the beginning, the Three Pure Ones..."

In the communion with Heaven and Earth, Jiang Li pondered deeply and finally felt a realization. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The wisdom of the Human Path also unfolded spontaneously along with his understanding, revealing relevant knowledge.

"In the beginning, there was nothing, and there was no name. What arises as one, exists as one but not yet forms."

"Tai Chu, where the Qi first appeared."

"Purity and turbidness split, the vast and boundless primordial, set the images, establish north and south, regulate east and west, open the dark and reveal the bright, light reaches four dimensions above and below..."

The two forms, located separately, experienced different flows of time, yet began to disappear simultaneously at this moment.

After transforming away the form, losing the body, refining away the substance, Jiang Li's corporeal form gradually returned to nothingness.

Tai Chu, formless, bodiless, substanceless, imageless, is a state more primordial than Chaos, where only one Yiqi exists.

Jiang Li's consciousness touched upon a vast void; as the corporeal form disappeared, his last will also seemed to enter silence, and even the last body walking outside was about to fall into slumber.

Beneath the ginseng fruit tree, an image of vastness appeared, vaguely resembling a chicken egg.

At that moment, from the heavens above came an awareness, forcibly intervening, awakening Jiang Li's consciousness.

The vastness dissipated, Chaos manifested, the form reappeared, and subsequently, the substance, body, and form all returned.

Jiang Li returned to his original state.

He suddenly opened his eyes, with an indestructible flame burning in the sun wheel of his left eye.

Jiang Li has now become an incarnation of the sun, in some sense, his true body has shifted, leaning from his original body towards the sun in the sky.

Even if all three bodies nearly slumber, the Sun Star can still forcibly intervene to awaken Jiang Li.

This was Jiang Li's backup plan.

However, this was only as a precautionary measure, unexpectedly actually becoming useful.

"Taiyi, Tai Chu, Tai Shi, Taisu, Taiji, tracing the roots of the Dao of the Three Pure Ones, it turned out to begin with Tai Chu..."

A scene seemed to appear in front of Jiang Li's eyes; in the void, Tai Chu Qi evolved into a chicken egg, then derived Chaos. Pangu was born in this egg, splitting Chaos, separating purity and turbidness, and transforming to create all things.

The original root of Primordial Qi is Tai Chu Qi, and it is for this reason that the Three Pure Ones become the source of Essence Qi.

And "End of Dharma"...

"End of Dharma Venerable reverted the Dao of the Three Pure Ones back to its original form, returning it to Tai Chu and ultimately altering the Three Pure Ones Dao fundamentally, turning the original transformative Essence Qi into transformative Five Vile Qi."

Jiang Li thought of his discovery with both surprise and a sense of shudder.

The surprise naturally lay in the root tracing of the Three Pure Ones Dao, still being able to connect with his cultivation of the Five Primordial Elements. Perhaps all great paths eventually converge; the closer one gets to the Dao, the more points of convergence there are.

The Dao of the Three Pure Ones he pursued in turn became a ladder for Jiang Li to further his progression.

The shudder, of course, was due to the power of the End of Dharma Venerable.

The Five Primordial Elements, without distinction of hierarchy, Tai Chu might not necessarily be higher than Tai Shi, Taisu, or Taiji, as they are inherently one. Just like the Three Pure Ones starting from Pangu, they themselves embarked on different paths; for instance, the Primordial Dao relates to Tai Shi, while Daode Tianzun cultivated Taiji.

In terms of precedence, Pangu was born of Tai Chu, naturally preceding the Three Pure Ones. But in terms of strength, the Three Pure Ones as one entity may not be weaker than Pangu.

However, stronger or weaker, higher or lower, does not equate to equality in difficulty.

For Heaven and Earth in the Taiji stage, the difficulty of cultivating Taisu, Tai Shi, and Tai Chu is layer by layer harder. By the same token, to revert the Three Pure Ones Dao back to Tai Chu requires retrograde traversing of three stages, a task more challenging than defeating the Three Pure Ones.

End of Dharma Venerable's power extends beyond comprehension with terrifying implications.

Jiang Li was somewhat skeptical about how the Three Pure Ones Venerable managed to perish together with "End of Dharma."

Even the foundational Three Pure Ones Dao reverted to Tai Chu, could it still reverse-kill "End of Dharma"?

[Jiang Li's mood fluctuated, difficult to calm.]

[After a long time, he finally steadied himself and began to review his gains.]

Karma Collection, as usual, recorded Jiang Li's information, seemingly unaffected by Jiang Li discovering a method to counter the Three Pure Ones Dao, without showing any abnormalities.

Jiang Li once suspected Karma Collection to be related to Yuanshi Tianzun, and he still has not dispelled this suspicion, only noticing that Karma Collection itself has become a simple tool, leaving no hidden tricks.

"Perhaps this Karma Collection was originally part of Yuanshi Tianzun's Dao Fruit, directly beaten out by 'End of Dharma.'"

Jiang Li couldn't help but speculate.

After all, even the Dao of the Three Pure Ones was forced back to Tai Chu, and it isn't so unthinkable that part of Yuanshi Tianzun's Dao Fruit was beaten out.

[Back to the point, although Jiang Li was frightened by the terror of "End of Dharma," through this realization, he found a way to counter the Three Pure Ones Dao.]

[As long as he cultivates Tai Chu, even if acquired later, there is a possibility to counter the Three Pure Ones Dao, given that the Three Pure Ones Venerate has already fallen. Moreover, Jiang Li can use the Three Pure Ones Dao to glimpse the true Tai Chu, Tai Shi, Taisu, Taiji, and witness Heaven and Earth's transformation.]

[The premise is that he is not turned stupid by the Three Pure Ones Dao.]

The Karma Collection displayed lines and lines of text, describing Jiang Li's gains.

Even though still unable to a hundred percent counteract, at least there is hope for success.

Once Tai Chu is cultivated, even if the Three Pure Ones Dao catches up, there is a way to avoid being assimilated into Heaven and Earth.

'Additionally, once Tai Chu is mastered, Pangu's Left Eye should also be fully controllable.'

Jiang Li instinctively touched his left eye.

Becoming the sun's incarnation wasn't enough; what he truly wanted was to embed the Sun Star into his left eye.

This is the ultimate of [Pangu Left Eye] divine skills.
