Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1355 - 100

No matter how feasible the plan is, if it has not been truly put into practice, there is still the possibility of failure.

Perhaps the entire plan is impracticable, merely theoretical, or perhaps something unexpected has occurred, leading to failure.

Emperor Yan is overly confident, as if merely following the plan leads inevitably to success.

There must be some critical information they haven't disclosed yet, something Jiang Li is unaware of.

However, this is of no concern.

As long as Jiang Li controls the situation, even if their plan is destined to succeed, it means nothing. Without Emperor Xi breaking the seal, their plan is impossible to realize.

The strategy from the beginning was to promote the Great Heavenly Venerate, then let Jiang Li defeat the Great Heavenly Venerate, and revive Emperor Xi. Everything went according to their intentions, but alas, there was a small discrepancy at the last moment.

——Emperor Xi was revived but was sealed again by Jiang Li.

This small discrepancy caused the situation to spiral out of control, allowing Jiang Li to regain dominance.

"The Heavenly Pillar can protect you temporarily, but not for eternity."

Jiang Li cast a final glance at the Heavenly Pillar in the distance and said, "Moreover, if you want to continue your plan, you must confront me and break Emperor Xi's seal. Let me see if I will break the Heavenly Pillar first, or if you will muster the courage to face me."

After speaking, Jiang Li no longer exchanged words with Emperor Yan and turned directly away, vanishing into the faint ripples.

Emperor Yan watched him leave, standing on the ocean surface for a long time.

After quite a while, he softly sighed and murmured, "My lineage has indeed produced an extraordinary figure."

The elderly man couldn't help but shake his head in admiration, then gently raised his hand, releasing two streams of light from his sleeve, transforming into the River Map, which further evolved into an array formation.

Although not from the Feng Family, nor having performed sacrificial cultivation with the River Map, having trained alongside Emperor Xi for many years, Emperor Yan was still able to make some use of the River Map.

Star symbols shifted, projecting an ever-changing shadow, then the voice of Yellow Emperor resonated, "I have sensed the dissolution of Cause and Effect with that junior from the Feng family."

"He has died."

Emperor Yan said softly, "Died at the hands of the junior of mine. Even the body of the Candle Dragon could not withstand a single finger of his, his Daoist progress may soon catch up with us, perhaps even surpass us."

Even as the revived Emperor Yan now, he dare not speak Jiang Li's true name directly.

Once his name is spoken, Jiang Li would sense it and trace back.

This could be rather helpless for Emperor Yan as the ancestor.

Upon hearing Emperor Yan refer to "that junior," Yellow Emperor understood the implication, letting out a mysterious sigh.

"Thousands of calculations, yet it wasn't calculated that he would place the real target on Emperor Xi — a move off the mark." Yellow Emperor remarked with deep regret.

No one anticipated Jiang Li's ability to endure, revealing the Tai Chi Diagram only upon Emperor Xi's revival.

No one estimated Jiang Li's formidable strength, or the reserve he maintained even in the battle against the Great Heavenly Venerate.

Keeping a trump card is a basic quality for the Sixth Brother, but with the Great Heavenly Venerate's power at that time, everyone would assume Jiang Li would go all out and use all his trump cards.

The outcome proved that they still underestimated Jiang Li.

"How goes your side?" asked Emperor Yan.

"With the help of Medicine Buddha, I've temporarily evaded Karma Tathagata and Daoist Lord."

Yellow Emperor spoke, pondered for a moment, and said, "Daoist Lord's Daoist prowess is profound, previously Great Heavenly Venerate suspected him of being Xuan Du, and having confronted him, this seems likely. Perhaps in the future, we can leverage this identity to create discord between him and Emperor Jiang."

"Future matters will be dealt with in the future," said Emperor Yan. "The urgent task is to retreat intact. He has been pursuing us, discovered the East Pole Sky Pillar, if you advance here, it might be ill-advised. Go to other Sky Pillars first."

Though Jiang Li has left, his attention likely lingers around this Eastern Extreme Land.

If Yellow Emperor comes here, it's probable Emperor Jiang would emerge midway.

Emperor Yan, as the ancestral figure, was ambushed by Emperor Jiang without martial virtue, and it would be even less merciful against Yellow Emperor.

The shadow nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

Emperor Yan continued, "Feng Manlou previously handed the Heaven and Earth Furnace to the Queen Mother of the West. Under his threat, the Queen Mother would join forces with us to resist him. However, this move is not a long-term solution; the key is still to rescue Emperor Xi."

"The spiritual mechanism of Heaven and Earth is recovering; our strength will also further increase. This indeed gives us an advantage over them, but if the time stretches, this advantage diminishes," Yellow Emperor spoke with a worried tone.

Powers before the End of Dharma era are far more familiar with the imminent changes than the current beings, having many secret techniques to harness Heaven and Earth's Primordial Qi.

The more the spiritual mechanism recovers, the more favorable it becomes to them.

Yet these benefits are based on current beings' unfamiliarity, something that can be caught up with.

Especially Jiang Li, who has led the recovery of the Nine States Spiritual Mechanism and cultivated the "Source of Qi Dao," the "Qi Tomb." His pace in adapting is likely far ahead of others.

Not to mention that Jiang Li now rules the Great Zhou, occupying the mainstream of Heaven and Earth.

In the foreseeable future, Jiang Li should continue to exhibit an astonishing speed in power growth. While the time may presently favor powers from before the End of Dharma era, the future remains in Jiang Li's hands.

The earlier the move, the greater the opportunity.

Conversely, if time drags on, hope will steadily diminish.

Upon reaching this point, both Emperor Yan on this side and Yellow Emperor on the other side bore expressions of deep contemplation.
