Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1326 - 85: The Immortal Path, the Queen Mother of the West; Jiang Li Knows the Yellow Emperor

"Unfortunately, you lost."

Within the immortal light, a blurred shadow gradually solidified, projecting a figure of extreme Yin Yi beauty.

"The Queen Mother of the West..."

Tianxuan's eyes slightly narrowed as she descended straight from the air, breaking through the frozen sea to the seabed, and tightly locked her vertical pupils on this figure.

Her face still had faint scale patterns, but it didn't appear demonic; instead, it revealed an ancient sacredness.

To defeat the Immortal Queen and even drive her into the sea, Tianxuan didn't rely solely on "One Qi to Three Pure Ones." In the final stage, she revealed all her trump cards, even displaying the Wa Emperor's appearance that she had hidden for so long.

Yet, even so, facing the projection of the Queen Mother of the West still made Tianxuan raise her maximum vigilance.

Even just a projection, the threat posed by the Queen Mother of the West was greater than that of the Immortal Queen. The Immortal Queen could cut space and freeze cosmic light, but the Queen Mother of the West was even stronger; the distance of space meant nothing to her.

This projection could transform into the true body at any moment.

"This palace..."

The Immortal Queen struggled to stabilize herself in the seawater.

The leaking cold air froze the seawater, keeping the Immortal Queen standing harshly in place, preventing her from being swept away by the current.

"This palace hasn't lost yet!" The Immortal Queen's pale face remained cold and decisive, as if she were still the high and mighty ruler of the Immortal Palace.

"Indeed, you haven't lost yet."

Tianxuan gazed at this former arch-rival. "To reach this stage and still be able to barely stabilize your mental state is no wonder that you have been an opponent this palace has respected for decades. Your mental state has not lost, but you cannot win either. Either you die, or you flee. But if you flee, then you've lost."

Continuing to fight would surely lead to death.

Being rescued by the Queen Mother of the West would be a complete defeat.

The defeat wouldn't shatter her mental state, but fleeing would.

The Immortal Queen had reached a dead end.

"But there is a way for her to neither lose nor die."

The virtual shadow of the Queen Mother of the West took over the conversation, saying slowly.

The immortal light fell onto the body of the Immortal Queen, and the figure of the Queen Mother of the West overlapped with the Immortal Queen, bringing new power and vitality.

The perfection of the Yin aspect manifested on the Immortal Queen, and her severe injuries were restored by the undying divine skills. In a short period, the Immortal Queen's Qi mechanism transformed dramatically, surrounded by immortal light.

She bore the Tao Fruit of the Queen Mother of the West...

No!

Tianxuan's pupils contracted, "The Queen Mother of the West is replacing the Immortal Queen."

Cause and effect united as one, Tao Fruits fused, which was an ascension, yet not an ascension, as the Immortal Queen was replaced by the Queen Mother of the West.

"This palace will not lose, Gongsun Yuanxi, you cannot win."

The Immortal Queen looked at Tianxuan, slowly speaking this final sentence, with her gaze gradually becoming soft and indifferent, carrying the vicissitudes and tranquility of time.

Meanwhile, the reborn Queen Mother of the West obtained the physical body, primordial spirit, and the Tao Fruit that the Immortal Queen once contained.

At this moment, the Immortal Queen was the Queen Mother of the West, yet the Queen Mother of the West was not the Immortal Queen.

The one seeking ascension also perished because of it.

"Such a proud person indeed, leaving no way back in action, making this palace require finding a successor anew." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The newly born "Immortal Queen" spoke slowly, and the surrounding ice immediately melted, no longer showing the previous coldness. Yet the vast sea still responded to her, refining the water into Water Spirit Energy, nourishing this body.

She moved slightly, intending to take a closer look at Tianxuan, who forced the Immortal Queen to this point, but suddenly paused.

A long and narrow fissure opened in the deep sea, with the Heavenly Mirror fitted in the center of the fissure, resembling a Heavenly Eye. Below this "Heavenly Eye" was a pair of giant eyes, with brilliant golden light brewing in the left eye, and the golden flames capable of scorching rivers and boiling seas might descend at any moment.

Though the person was unseen, in the perception of the Queen Mother of the West, a vast shadow silently stood behind those three eyes, ready to step from the void into reality at any moment.

Space distance meant nothing to the Queen Mother of the West, nor to Jiang Li.

The Queen Mother of the West met his gaze, sighed softly, and said, "Perhaps it won't be long before the title of Emperor Jiang is outdated; it should be the Heavenly Emperor Jiang instead."

Heaven, Earth, Human—Jiang Li's Qi mechanism traversed the Three Realms. Though he had not yet controlled the Three Realms, his influence could no longer be possessed by a mortal emperor.

He was treading the path once walked by the Three Emperors, ascending from the emperor of the mortal world to the Heavenly Emperor.

"Impressive young one." The Queen Mother of the West applauded.

"Likewise."

A deep voice crossed the space, echoing under the sea, "The methods of the Queen Mother make this emperor utter amazement. This emperor thought he had witnessed the full power of the queen mother, never expecting it was just one aspect of the Divine Dao."

In their previous confrontation, the Queen Mother of the West had displayed immortal light but mostly showed the aspect of divinity.

At that time, Jiang Li didn't pay much attention, but now seeing this scene, he realized that the Queen Mother of the West had just reborn in the form of the Divine Dao before.

She divided the Tao Fruit into two parts, yet unlike the complete separation of Emperor Yan's Tao Fruit, they remained connected, allowing the two portions of the Tao Fruit to reincarnate separately afterward.

Especially now, having acquired everything from the Immortal Queen, this Queen Mother of the West not only gained the Tao Fruit the Immortal Queen had harbored but also ascended through her to fill herself.

Ascending from the third grade to the second grade, then merging with her essence, the current Queen Mother of the West had already returned to her peak period.

Perhaps only the fact that her spiritual mechanism had not yet recovered made it difficult to unite with the world, preventing her from employing past powers, but her inherent strength was wholly restored.

On the other hand, the Immortal Queen's Tao Fruit also gave the Queen Mother of the West a comprehensive understanding of the Tao Fruit cultivation system.
