Taiyi Dao Fruit

He rose to fame too quickly, and his name was still not resonant enough.

And regarding those battle achievements of Jiang Li, who would believe them when spoken aloud?

Even though Ming Yang had acknowledged earlier that Jiang Li might be capable of defeating a Sixth Rank with Seventh Rank strength, in his heart, he still didn't quite believe it. How many could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhong Shenxiu?

And even if it were Zhong Shenxiu, he would likely find this situation quite thorny.

But he was about to believe.

Jiang Li suddenly closed the distance like a startled swan, protected by the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, his true form disappearing upon contact, fingers spreading as Yin Thunder with a dark electric glow surged forth, enveloping the sky in black light.

"Long wind for tens of thousands of miles."

Ming Yang sensed the dangerous nature of the Yin Thunder, immediately shouted loudly, and righteous energy burst forth. It surged out from acupoints all over his body, stirred up vast Gang Wind, and met the Yin Thunder, shattering nearly ten threads of it. However, this thunder was unceasing and endless, wildly stimulated, roaring like a thunderstorm.

At the same time, Jiang Li's foot stomped the ground, Primordial Earth Qi entered the earth, and a fissure spread directly beneath Ming Yang.

Although he had not practiced any corresponding magic or martial arts, he wielded the Primordial Earth Qi as easily as his own limb. Even if it was only used to drive away rocks and split the soil, it was enough to reveal formidable power.

The crack reached beneath Ming Yang, and a forceful flow of Earth Qi burst from the ground, striking directly at his lower body.

Ming Yang immediately trembled and retreated like a flash.

"Boom!"

The Earth Qi rose, colliding with the Thunder Technique driven by Wood Qi. The two fused, increasing their power. Jiang Li advanced once more, sending out six streams of Primordial Qi, and instantly, Eight Qi Interactions took place. They combined and gave birth to each other, giving rise to sixty-four Qi mechanisms that competed to evolve, swelling uncontrollably.

Because Ming Yang had retreated, the intensity of the Gang Wind diminished, leaving him unable to stop the interaction of the Primordial Qi.

Jiang Li's eyes gleamed peculiarly; using the Emperor's Qi Observation Skill, he perceived the changes in the Primordial Qi and kept adjusting, with his Divine Thought and True Qi completely unified. Even as the volume of Primordial Qi exploded, he still maintained control.

'This is what Unity is...'

The sensation was like the person and Qi, completely merged into one, no longer distinguishable, him or me, even with the volume swelling, there was still no loss of control.

With a casual wave of his hand, Jiang Li sent forth Qi like an overwhelming tide, surging towards him. The heavens above and the earth below were filled with Qi mechanisms, with Primordial Qi saturating every inch of space, penetrating the air, refining righteous Qi. The Gang Wind was disintegrated bit by bit, and under the suppression of the Qi mechanisms, Ming Yang felt it difficult to breathe.

'This is bad, even the air has been replaced by his True Qi.'

Such formidable True Qi made him, a Sixth Rank, feel inferior; it was truly fearsome and dreadful.

At this moment, Ming Yang had no choice but to acknowledge that the opponent indeed had the ability to defeat those of higher rank than himself. If he was not careful, he too could die at Jiang Li's hands.

Ming Yang immediately held his breath to prevent the opponent's True Qi from entering his body through respiration, and then his body shone with light, vaguely revealing a shadow merging with him.

"Poverty and Humility Cannot Be Moved."

"Unbendable by Force."

Using the Seventh Grade Dao Fruit· Ability of Gentleman, "Poverty and Humility Cannot Be Moved" protected and solidified his body, unaffected by the stuffiness of Qi and resisting the suppression of Qi mechanisms. "Unbendable by Force" caused his True Qi to burst forth with increased strength, and the Gang Wind rose again.

"The gentleman harmonizes without conforming."

The essence of Confucianism was spoken again; the Junzi Wind surged forth, sweeping the Gang Wind that clashed with Primordial Qi. The vigorous winds, like knives and swords, frantically danced around.

The gentleman harmonizes without conforming, meaning a noble man lives in harmony with others but does not simply agree with them or follow the crowd, refusing to associate with the base, unlike them. Now, Ming Yang's righteous Qi was the gentleman, and Jiang Li's Primordial Qi was the unworthy; the two were distinct.

Innate Qi was difficult to refine righteous Qi, but under its oppressive volume, the Gang Wind was still unmatched.

Jiang Li took another step forward and pushed out a flat palm. His Primordial Qi was immovable like a mountain, impenetrable like a wall. Junzi Wind collided with it like a giant wave crashing against the shore, and though it was ferocious in its momentum, it could only shatter itself.

Qi Mechanisms tangled, and Strength was transmitted through the air, causing Ming Yang's blood to churn and his entrails to feel as if they were ablaze.

He wasn't a Martial Cultivator, lacking a robust body. Facing such overpowering suppression, if not for the "Poverty and Humility Cannot Be Moved" technique protecting him, he would already be vomiting blood from severe injuries.

"Jiang Zhihuan."

Seeing Ming Yang fall into a state of decline, Ji Chengye immediately shouted. The Fufeng Prefecture Governor Jiang Zhihuan heard him and receded into the ground, then abruptly appeared in the area ravaged by the fierce wind, waving his hand to summon the illusion of mountains. The pressure of the Divine Domain was upon him, and the illusion of mountains struck out horizontally.

"Bang!"

The illusion of mountains struck Jiang Li, sounding like boulders crashing down upon the earth, with the weight of ten thousand catties, causing one of the Three Flowers above Jiang Li's head to stir; then... nothing more happened.

Jiang Li didn't look back, his eyes flickered with Divine Light as a Python slithered into the sword at his waist.

"Yin Talisman Seven Skills·Real Intent Technique Python."

The sword transformed into a snake, and suddenly lunged backward. Bolstered by the swelling Three Elements, the "Real Intent Technique Python" also saw its power doubled. The Ink Snake collided with Jiang Zhihuan's palm and forced him to retreat several yards, smashing through the last remaining wall.

Having repelled Jiang Zhihuan, Jiang Li's Qi Mechanism became even more potent, seemingly reaching the limit of what he could currently control.

His Divine Farmer's appearance was also exhibited to the extreme, his long hair flying about, looking like a god, like a demon. He drew out a strand of Primordial Qi and vanished in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the Primordial Qi evolved into various mystical phenomena.

As if the heavens were enraged, thunderclaps roared and flashed, Primordial Qi transformed into a rain cloud, enveloping the lightning that resembled both dragon and snake, shattering the Gang Wind.

As if a volcano erupted, an unrivaled Flame Flow roared and swirled, hot air steamed, and Ming Yang's body instantly showed signs of withering.

And then came the surge of wind and clouds...

The moment the third phenomenon appeared, Ming Yang knew he was reaching his limit. He fiercely grabbed a scroll from his hand, tearing out a page, "When three people walk together, my teacher is among them."

"Heaven's motion is strong, and the gentleman continuously strengthens himself."

The first phrase was the ability of the Sixth Grade Dao Fruit·Teacher; the latter sentence was a record torn from the page.

A wisp of smoke rose from the page and suddenly materialized into a shadow several zhang high.

Beside him, dressed in a white Confucian robe, with a stroke of his hands, the character "Qian" was swiftly formed.

The vast and infinite qi spread over the character, reaching everywhere. In an instant, ripples appeared in the space, and phenomena such as thunderclouds, Flame Flow, and storms disintegrated immediately. An invisible wave expanded from Ming Yang at the center, extending outward.

There was no mistake, this was undoubtedly a method bestowed by Ming Yang's mentor to save his own life.

It couldn't be avoided; even if Jiang Li moved as fast as the wind, he couldn't escape this attack.

At that moment, a dim light emerged from the center of his brow, rose to the top of his head, and transformed into Taiyin.

"Taiyin Ju Zi, Water Clearing Gui E."

The Guardian Technique bestowed by Elder Tianxuan was used, the bright moon hanging high, shining for eternity.

The moon of Taiyin was like a bright mirror, reflecting the opponent's shadow. Then, Yin Qi intertwined, and the same invisible wave radiated from Jiang Li at the center, reaching everywhere.

"Crack, crack—"

Wherever the wave passed, frost formed, and every inch of space was covered with frost, while the opponent's wave merely rippled.

The same Magic Door with different essences.

Jiang Li stood under the bright moon, feeling his spirit reflect the round moon, echoing back that shadow, that character "Qian".
