Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1337 - 91: Human Dao Holy Sword

Above the vast sea, deep in the East Sea, a towering mountain quietly floats in mid-air, nine thousand miles away from the Divine Country.

On the peak of this great mountain, the scattered buildings bear the marks of time. Their structures are intact, without any dust, yet devoid of any human presence. The central grand hall exudes a sense of ancientness and heaviness, imparting an intangible majesty.

This is Wushan, moved overseas by the Great Venerable, and that ancient hall is precisely the Taihao Hall.

At this moment, within Taihao Hall, two figures stand solemnly.

The Heavenly Charm of the Feng Family, Feng Ziyang, is prominently here.

They gaze at the mural at the end of the hall, their eyes focused on the Emperor Xi depicted with a human head and snake body, full of fervor and a hint of uncontrollable apprehension.

Suddenly, a green flame ignited within the hall, causing Heavenly Charm and Feng Ziyang to tense.

"It's here," Heavenly Charm said solemnly.

As he spoke, a golden-yellow talisman flew out from the green flame, exuding dazzling divine light in mid-air.

An overwhelming aura swept forth from the talisman, and a majestic figure loomed indistinctly.

The name on the talisman further revealed the identity of this figure.

—Haotian Golden Palace Supreme Jade Emperor Pardoning Sin Great Heavenly Venerate God Xuanqiong.

This is the Jade Emperor's talisman.

The talisman flew towards the mural. As it neared the depiction of Fuxi with a human head and snake body, the golden light intensified, the aura grew even more formidable, yet eternal like the ancient sky, immensely grand and potent, emanating a subtle blue glow.

In an instant, the Jade Emperor's talisman transformed its appearance, entirely bathed in blue light, as if made of blue jade.

It seemed to embrace the strokes of Fuxi's depiction, green divine light instantly removing the marks of time from the mural, making the seemingly simple figure come alive.

"Emperor Xi's True Spirit truly has awakened."

Heavenly Charm rejoiced, then immediately knelt to the ground, "Unworthy descendant Feng Qingyao, pays homage to the ancestor, praises Taihao God."

"Unworthy descendant Feng Ziyang, pays homage to the ancestor, praises Taihao God." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The two members of the Feng Family worshipped their ancestor, and their thoughts manifested as incense, integrating into the mural.

At the same time, the green flame burned, and a figure in blue clothes emerged, also paying respects to the mural.

"Nu Ba, daughter of Ji Xuanyuan, pays homage to Emperor Xi, praises Taihao God."

The incense from the three individuals acted as a catalyst, completely awakening Emperor Xi's True Spirit, redirecting the faith originally usurped for eight hundred years back to its rightful owner.

······

······

Elsewhere, the Great Heavenly Venerate, after a brief struggle, gradually grasped the Dao Fruit he had just inherited.

The ceremony that lasted eight hundred years, prepared for at least a thousand, finally proved effective at this moment. The faith usurped over the years allowed the Great Heavenly Venerate to fuse with the Dao Fruit, while suppressing the awakening Fuxi True Spirit.

He usurped Heaven's faith not only to control Heaven but also to use it to fuse with the Dao Fruit.

The essence of Dao Fruit simulation is to use similar cause and effect to make its bearer and the Dao Fruit integrate, mutually harmonize. Fundamentally, it's a trick, using similar cause and effect to deceive the Dao Fruit, making it believe the bearer is its rightful owner.

The Great Heavenly Venerate is indeed tricking, and he's been at it for eight hundred years.

Usurping Heaven's name, replacing Fuxi to receive the incense, has made him and the Dao Fruit immensely compatible. Once he suppresses Fuxi's True Spirit, under the smelting of incense telekinesis, the integration of this Dao Fruit is nearly effortless.

"I am just a hair's breadth away from the Heavenly Venerate Realm. Now that the Dao Fruit is only newly inherited, it's enough to cross this line."

The Great Heavenly Venerate's expression gradually showed more confidence. The all-encompassing, sweeping aura slowly diminished, "A hair's breadth, yet worlds apart."

The Great Heavenly Venerate hasn't fully mastered Fuxi Dao Fruit, but he's already used this Dao Fruit as a key to unlock a door that has obstructed him for many years, crossing that line.

Now, he has stepped into the Realm of the Heavenly Venerate.

This gradually diminishing aura is the proof.

A hair's breadth apart is worlds apart; how can those on the ground see the scenery above?

The Great Heavenly Venerate's aura diminishing doesn't mean he's restraining it, nor has he fully mastered the Dao Fruit. Rather, his aura has ascended to another level, gradually beyond perception.

However, just as the Great Heavenly Venerate's words fell, the divine fire covering his body suddenly left marks on the Emperor's Robe.

Incense telekinesis began to backfire against its owner... no, it should be said it turned to its true owner.

The Great Heavenly Venerate's face twisted, as if bearing an intangible burden, "My incense... my talisman! Traitor! Nu Ba, you have betrayed me!"

Collecting incense requires a medium. The divine statues in the temples, the tablets in the ancestral halls, serve as this medium.

Heaven has no divine statues, nor tablets, but it still requires a medium.

Back then, Great Zhou's Grand Ancestor manipulated the medium, causing the incense faith that should have flowed to Emperor Xi's True Spirit to be usurped, becoming the primer for the Great Heavenly Venerate to control Heaven.

Now, this medium seems to have encountered a small issue.

It seems a traitor has obtained this medium.

In ordinary times, issues with the medium wouldn't pose too great a risk, but unfortunately, now Emperor Xi's True Spirit has awakened.

The Great Heavenly Venerate could usurp incense during Emperor Xi's True Spirit slumber, but after its awakening, it won't be that easy.
