Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1365 - 105: The Duel with the Yellow Emperor

"Oh?"

The Yellow Emperor seemed somewhat surprised, and his gaze fell upon the large red dog behind the Green Bull, chuckling lightly: "Such honesty, truly unexpected for me, but is this good? The identity of Master Xuan Du has been leaked."

The large red dog, previously the size of a calf, was silently shrinking its form, almost hidden by the Green Bull.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tian was cautiously retreating, looking sneaky.

Xiao Tian was Jiang Li's eyes and ears; what it knew, Jiang Li would know.

Undoubtedly, at this moment, the dog, considering itself a loyal hound, was already wary of the Daoist Lord.

"As long as Emperor Jiang is here, his loyal hound can be resurrected even if it dies, silencing it is meaningless."

The Daoist Lord, with an unperturbed expression, spoke words that made the dog's body tremble: "Besides, I have no intention to part ways with Emperor Jiang; by sending out the Tai Chi Diagram, I have shown my sincerity. If Your Majesty wishes to sow discord, I fear you will be disappointed."

Master Xuan Du is the chief disciple of Daode Tianzun, and can be considered the sole inner disciple.

Daode Tianzun transmitted Dharma across the great world, with countless disciples; yet, in terms of inner disciples, only Master Xuan Du holds that position.

Exposing Xuan Du's identity would undoubtedly make that Emperor Jiang suspicious. After all, he is someone extremely cautious enough to destroy his teacher out of fear.

Although from the outcome, Jiang Li's caution and skepticism were not wrong, initially, there was no confrontation between Emperor Xi and Jiang Li. It was merely due to Emperor Xi's overwhelming strength that Emperor Jiang sought to suppress it, demonstrating his suspicion.

Yet, the Daoist Lord showed his sincerity through actions.

If not for the Daoist Lord sending out the Tai Chi Diagram, Jiang Li would find it much harder to use the Three Pure Dao Artifacts to seal Emperor Xi, discarding these three hidden risks.

"Your Majesty, do not forget, back when the Three Pure Ones pursued transcendence, it wasn't just what you cared about that paid the price," the Daoist Lord said calmly, "The disciples under the Three Pure Ones were also part of the cost. Everyone fell in the End of Dharma, whether it be you or all the Three Pure Ones disciples."

No matter what, the End of Dharma occurred because the Three Pure Ones sought transcendence.

These three personally initiated the End of Dharma.

Therefore, even as an inner disciple of Daode Tianzun, one would not stand by the Three Pure Ones, but rather stand by Emperor Jiang. Isn't this reasonable?

At least, from the Daoist Lord's past, he consistently prevented others from advancing to Second Grade to hinder the resurrection of those undead True Spirits, always looking ahead, and personally sending out the Tai Chi Diagram.

No one knows what the Daoist Lord truly thinks, except for himself, yet his actions prove he and Emperor Jiang are comrades.

Judging by actions rather than intentions, Emperor Jiang would not turn against the Daoist Lord solely due to Xuan Du's identity.

Furthermore...

A mysterious look flickered in the Daoist Lord's eyes.

Thus far, the Yellow Emperor's efforts to sow discord were completely thwarted.

However, he did not lose composure over this, instead, the sword in his hand gradually emitted a dazzling golden light.

The Daoist Lord was already here, not attempting to leave him behind seemed unjustifiable.

Words of discord were ultimately mere tricks; in the end, it was the sword in hand that held more persuasiveness. Regardless of Master Xuan Du's allegiance to the Three Pure Ones or being an ally of Jiang Li, killing him was certainly correct.

Jiang Li is the enemy, the Three Pure Ones are an irreconcilable adversary.

In fact, compared to the Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jiang's animosity was only as such.

The Daoist Lord stood there with immortal light fluctuating outside his body, his expression growing profound, "It seems Your Majesty has just been resurrected and isn't yet familiar with your body, thus wishes to engage with me to stretch your muscles."

As the words fell, a desolate wind swept across the plains, accumulating a vast power.

With spiritual mechanism recovery, these great beings from before the End of Dharma returned to their comfort zone. The past feeling of vast power responding to every gesture seemed to have returned.

Although the Five Vile Qi still exists today, lacking the momentum of the pre-End of Dharma era, it provides numerous means for the likes of the Yellow Emperor and other strong entities.

Yet, the Daoist Lord also adeptly manipulates Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, confronting the Yellow Emperor, further confirming him and Xuan Du are one person, strengthening the Yellow Emperor's conviction about his identity.

"A bit of muscle stretching, indeed no difference," the Yellow Emperor laughed heartily.

Earlier when he stopped Jiang Li, he constructed a dharma body using the "Form Tomb," out of rush. Despite the Yellow Emperor's skill and accomplishments in dharma body, allowing for adjustments makes it far superior to rushed constructions.

The spiritual mechanism recovery also created an excellent environment for the Yellow Emperor to create a more perfect dharma body.

Amidst laughter, the Yellow Emperor's figure swayed, a massive force already unleashed.

Despite the Yellow Emperor wearing the Emperor's Robe in a dignified manner, in real battle, he is genuinely an expert in close combat.

The "Form Tomb" is the pinnacle of body techniques, allowing the Yellow Emperor to counteract formidable adversaries like the Warlord, showcasing his prowess in combat.

The Daoist Lord even felt he had no time to think as the attack was already upon him.

The Yellow Emperor's "Form Tomb" had reached its peak, blending dharma body and the world, ignoring spatial constraints and all resistance, his speed astonishingly surpassed thought.
