Taiyi Dao Fruit

Da Yan fifty, Tian Yan forty-nine, one hides from it.

Making the "stone" move is easy, just change it from "fifty" to "forty-nine."

Jiang Li refined his essence energy, re-cultivated a strand of Innate Qi, circulated it to his dantian, incorporated it into the "stone," and refined a thread of Golden Qi.

Then, a gap appeared.

The solidified sphere moved again, changes reemerged.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Li interspersed the Innate Qi, intermittently filling the gaps, solidifying the "stone" again to prevent further infusion of external Qi.

But the Qi filling the gaps had already been controlled by Jiang Li; once it stabilized, he only needed to stimulate this part of Qi again to induce transformations anew.

Repeatedly, Jiang Li eventually disassembled the intertwined sphere, all reverted to the origin, transforming into the purest Innate Qi.

Then, True Qi surged from the lower dantian, shot straight to the heart, Jiang Li's heart thumped violently, pumping a vast amount of blood, suddenly quivering.

"Thud!"

Innate Qi merged with the heart's blood, expanded the heart's Vermilion Palace, swiftly combined to form Innate Blood Qi, the Third Qi Sea, achieved!

Jiang Li's vitality surged, the newly opened middle dantian nurtured the heart, and the heart, being the hub of blood circulation, when strong, enhances blood and Qi, further strengthening the body. Simultaneously, the creation of the Third Qi Sea also provided a haven for the surging power; balanced with Dual Cultivation, Jiang Li's body gradually adapted to this sudden increase in strength.

'But it's not enough.'

Jiang Li contemplated, Innate Qi flowed from the three Qi Seas, directed towards cultivating the acupoints required for the Yinglong Transformation.

Jiang Li had survived the violent changes of the Innate Qi, even causing a surge in power, creating the Third Qi Sea, but it wasn't sufficient to cultivate "Qi Tomb."

The Jiang Family's practitioners conditioned eight different attributes of Innate Qi within the eight Qi Seas; the Ninth Qi Sea served as the hub for regulation, just like the one that escaped, only then were they qualified to further their cultivation.

Now with only three Qi Seas, if Jiang Li wanted to proceed in cultivating "Qi Tomb," he could only repeat the previous actions, but he was not yet capable of fully controlling the eight types of Qi. If careless, an internal burst of True Qi could explode, likely leaving him either dead or disabled.

Especially during intense battles, distractions are prohibitive, Jiang Li dared not split his focus to monitor and balance the gains and losses of True Qi while also engaging in fierce combat.

However, this difficulty was not unsolvable.

Since internal negotiation might cause accidents, then negotiate externally, utilizing things outside oneself.

Talismans serve as external meridians, connecting internally with talismanic magic, employing things externally; thus, even if it went out of control, it still enabled one to escape, or even directly strike the enemy.

Qi mechanisms interwoven at twenty-four acupoints on his body, dragon-scale patterns emerged on the surface, among which eight acupoints, Jiang Li re-condensed talismanic seeds.

Innate Qi combined with the Clearing Qi Talisman, then it transformed heavenly Qi, combined with the Earth Spirit Talisman, it summoned earth Qi, Fire Escape Talisman, Water Spirit Talisman, Wood Spirit Talisman...

Innate Qi emerged from the eight acupoints, intertwined by the talismanic methods of the Yinglong Transformation, True Qi mingling, gradually evolving into a transparent crystal, encasing Jiang Li within.

External appearance of "stone", the first step was completed.

Then came the second step.

Jiang Li refined a portion of the "stone", fifty escapes one, transformations began, the evolution of Qi, manifesting layer by layer, infinitely unfolding.

The Dao Fruit Ability of Li Chunfeng was fully deployed, "Lin De Calendar," "Yisi Divination," "Tuibei Diagram" each manifesting corresponding patterns, intersecting in the eyes, capturing the evolution of Qi, to engage with the Yi Dao.

Jiang Li watched as the transformations repeated themselves, unwittingly becoming enchanted, lost in thought, forgetting his heart.

Karma Collection allowed him to learn and gain insight. Every moment, Jiang Li reaped new knowledge, a profound joy filling his heart, urging him to continue studying, ceaselessly calculating.

Gradually, a streak of white appeared on Jiang Li's forehead, his once dark hair now showing signs of graying.

Yet Jiang Li remained oblivious.

His mind was fully immersed in the calculations, he didn't even notice his brain overworking and his Divine Essence gradually depleting, nor the fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

The joy of his discoveries had completely beguiled his heart.

······

······

Before Divine Farmer's Statue, Gongsun Qingyue stood on a green stone, her eyebrows suddenly furrowing.

Through the connection between the talismans, Gongsun Qingyue sensed that Jiang Li's Divine Essence was about to deplete, which would cause the three core abilities to lose their Divine Essence supply and start to fade away.

"Something's gone wrong."

Realizing this, Gongsun Qingyue's Divine Thought was activated, a flicker of starlight appeared between her eyebrows, revealing two stars.

"Ziwei and Tianfu, the assistance."

Ziwei is the main star of Beidou, and Tianfu the main star of Southern Dipper. In the palace of fate, the main star must always be accompanied by supporting stars such as Wenqu, Wenchang, and others.

Although named after the main stars, this technique actually focuses on the supportive power.

The two stars on Gongsun Qingyue's forehead rose, one emitting a dazzling purple light, supremely majestic; the other a flickering silver light, unfathomably profound. The two stars together established a deeper connection between them, stationed afar, linking and channeling dual energies.

Lost in his calculations, Jiang Li suddenly felt a refreshing stream as if from the void, flowing into his mind, replenishing his previously depleted Divine Essence and refilling it, while his Sea of Consciousness stirred as if someone externally pushed it.

Jiang Li abruptly regained clarity, awakening from his bewilderment.

[Jiang Li felt his integration with the Dao Fruit deepening]

[A sense of fulfillment filled his heart, he suddenly realized that the Eighth Grade Dao Fruit, Li Chunfeng, had fully integrated with him, the Dao Fruit had reached Perfection.]

His research on the "one of the escapee" and insights into transformations greatly elevated his mastery of Yi Dao, providing a significant boost in his Dao Fruit interpretation. The crucial push, resonating with Li Chunfeng's experience during the creation of the Tuibei Diagram, propelled Jiang Li to take the final step.

Having reached Perfection in the Eighth Grade Realm, and through this episode of insight, he had tapped into all his potential.

With a sweep of his eyes, all changes became clear to him, understanding flowed more easily than before. However, to fully grasp all transformations, it was still unattainable.

The fifty in Da Yan 50 is actually vague; it could mean fifty, or it could mean infinite. Although Heavenly Destiny Forty-nine had one missing, creating a change, it remains infinite, its transformations equally endless.

Even with his Dao Fruit having achieved Perfection, Jiang Li could not possibly exhaust all transformations, as they constantly emerge.

"Endless tales cannot suffice, better to withdraw and return to rest."

Jiang Li laughed heartily, his True Qi driving the Innate Qi around his body, transforming into a gentle breeze, carrying him downwards.
