Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1382 - 113: On Shouyang Mountain (Part 2)

With the character of Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan, they wouldn't assist the Heavenly Monarch in blood sacrificing the land of the Three States, but Nu Ba and the Great Venerable might.

It seems that the Drought has always been assisting the Heavenly Monarch and the Great Heavenly Venerate, but in reality, her cunning is definitely not inferior.

"If Master Xuan Du has already wavered, exposing his behavior would mean losing a great opportunity," someone beside reminded.

The person wore a blue robe, eyes ghostly blue, face gloomy, precisely one of the only two remaining third grades of the Devil God Sect — the Heavenly Charm Demon God.

At the same time, she was also a member of the Feng Family.

"It might also be that he is pretending to waver, seeking a chance to ambush us," Nu Ba replied, "Compared to the risk of being ambushed, missing an opportunity is entirely acceptable. Moreover, the Daoist Lord may not be able to plot against Emperor Jiang. You don't need to worry, regardless, we will take action."

"That's good." A hint of deep killing intent appeared on the gloomy face of the Heavenly Charm Demon God.

"That person killed the Great Venerable, so I will have his wife repay with her life."

The death of the Great Venerable was lamentable for the Two Emperors, but only lamentable, whereas for the Feng Family, it was as if the sky had fallen.

Compared to the distant Ancestor, the Great Venerable was the pillar of the Feng Family.

To avenge the Great Venerable, the Feng Family would stop at nothing.

The cold killing intent carried a peculiar aura of death, leaving no vitality within a radius of several miles.

Nu Ba sensed this killing intent and slightly shook her head, then focused all her attention on the Array Formation.

At this moment, Li Qinglian had already entered Jizhou, her speed with sword flight extremely fast, soon about to reach the Daode Sect.

"Zheng——"

The sound of sword resounded, echoing through the Array on the island, and across Shouyang Mountain.

"Li Qinglian requests a meeting with Taibai True Monarch, to discuss the Sword Dao."

This mountain-visiting announcement directly entered the central hall of the Daode Sect, without any concealment, heard by everyone from the Sect Master to ordinary disciples.

The Daoist Lord was naturally no exception.

However, in the subsequent few moments, the summit of Shouyang Mountain remained calm.

"This humble Daoist accepts the challenge."

There was no response from the Daoist Lord, only the soaring Sword Qi, as Taibai True Monarch's figure appeared in the sky, accepting the challenge of the independent incarnation.

The Daoist Lord did not take action, nor was he seen, as if he was not at home at the moment.

Nu Ba squinted her long phoenix eyes, watching the scene within the Array.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Charm Demon God asked again, "Do we strike now?"

"No rush, wait a little longer," Nu Ba waved her sleeve, "It will take some time to occupy the entire East, no need to hurry."

It's not enough to reach the Eastern Extreme Land to claim the entire East.

To include the vast sea under control, the flag of Great Zhou must be planted on various islands.

Jiang Li needs more time to target the East Pole Sky Pillar.

Nu Ba was not in a hurry, continuing to watch the scene revealed by the Array.

······

······

Taibai True Monarch entered the fray, officially starting this battle of primary and secondary.

As an independent incarnation, Li Qinglian already had her own will, but ultimately she could not completely separate from Taibai True Monarch.

Her current strength was also established on the Dao Fruit, sharing Dao Fruit Divine Power with Taibai True Monarch, for they were still one in terms of cause and effect.

Sooner or later, these two sides would meet in a great battle, to distinguish between the primary and secondary.

The Great Venerable observed this, hence he made a move against Li Qinglian early on. Even Li Qinglian catching up to Taibai True Monarch in a short time was the result of the Great Venerable's help with Cosmic Light Divine Ability.

In terms of stirring abilities, the Great Venerable was unparalleled, though he did not survive to witness this battle of primary and secondary.

The fierce Sword Qi pierced the sky, standing like a Heavenly Pillar between heaven and earth.

After severing "Wan Guchou," Taibai True Monarch's sword heart became more pure, breaking and establishing the sword momentum, surpassing the past.

Opposite her, Li Qinglian's Sword Qi formed a lotus, the lotus opening a thousand leaves, each leaf evolving a different swordsmanship, yet harmonious, gathering into one lotus.

If Taibai True Monarch was "One Sword Breaks All Techniques," then Li Qinglian was "One Sword Gives Birth to All Techniques," treading a similar yet opposing path.

Precisely because of differing paths, Li Qinglian qualified to contend against Taibai True Monarch. If their Sword Dao was the same, Li Qinglian could not withstand the sharpness of "Wan Guchou."

One sword breaks all techniques, one sword gives birth to all techniques, as these two Sword Dao realms clashed, the sword contest hadn't formally started, yet its fierce demeanor was already evident.

The sword momentum swept across, conjuring a magnificent spectacle in the sky.

So, at this moment, what was the Daoist Lord doing?

A gentle breeze quietly reached the summit of Shouyang Mountain, suddenly transforming into a Golden Monkey, hopping onto a stone stool.

In front of the stone stool was a stone table, on which was a small brazier burning, heating a teapot, with an elderly white-haired, white-bearded Daoist sitting at the other end.

"You, Bull Nose, just watching like this?" The monkey said unceremoniously.

"Great Saint, you are quite direct."

The old Daoist chuckled, "Does the Great Saint also believe it's an old friend showing up?"

As an old acquaintance of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, this Monkey also had connections with Master Xuan Du. If the Daoist Lord were Master Xuan Du, then indeed he would be an old friend.

"I, Old Sun, am candid because I consider you one of us."

Sun Wukong wore a smile, "If you are Master Xuan Du, then you are my old friend, no need for courtesy. If you are not, then you are an ally, still no need for courtesy. However, I have a new discovery now."

Speaking here, the monkey scratched his cheek, "You're surprisingly clear about my affairs with Doushuai Temple, even if you are not Master Xuan Du's Bull Nose, you must be a minor Bull Nose from Doushuai Temple. Tell me, who are you? Golden Horn or Silver Horn? Or someone else from under Dao De?"

"Luu Dongbin that Bull Nose? No, Luu Dongbin has already turned into Dao Fruit. Is it Iron Crutch Li, that cripple? Lan Caihe? Zhang Guolao?"

"Can't be that Bull, right?"

Sun Wukong, like listing dishes, enumerated all the suspected subjects he could think of.

Clearly, the Daoist Lord's familiarity with Sun Wukong led to much speculation.

To this, the Daoist Lord merely smiled slightly and said, "The secrets of Heaven must not be revealed."

Saying so, he picked up that teapot, poured the tea, "The brew is just right, Great Saint, please enjoy."

Sun Wukong, frustrated by this response, examined the Daoist Lord with his Fire Eyes Golden Eyes from left to right, unable to discern his origin.

"So, what are you planning?" the monkey asked.

"No plans, just temporarily observing," the Daoist Lord pushed the teacup towards Sun Wukong, "Great Saint might as well calm your mind, join me in watching the sword duel of my two disciples. Perhaps you will glean something different."

"You—" Sun Wukong bared his teeth, "To use Jiang Li's words, a riddler begone from the Divine Country."

As soon as the words fell, a ripple of cause and effect rose subtly.

With Jiang Li's real name spoken, his gaze would fall here.

Sun Wukong appeared as a mischievous monkey, seemingly unreliable, and because of his nature, didn't engage in scheming, but in terms of wisdom and understanding, he was by no means lacking.

Since he couldn't discern the other's true face, he would let Jiang Li come.

With Jiang Li's attention, even if the Daoist Lord tried any tricks, it wouldn't escape Jiang Li's eyes.

After this, Sun Wukong plopped onto the stone stool, picked up the teacup, sipping tea in a practiced manner, also looking at the contest between Taibai True Monarch and Li Qinglian.

"Let's see what your two disciples will stir up." Sun Wukong said. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"It shouldn't disappoint the Great Saint." the Daoist Lord replied with a smile.

Under Jiang Li's vigilant gaze, the Daoist Lord seemed oblivious, showing no actions, leisurely pouring tea, watching the sword Qi clash.

From the looks of it, he seemed intent on being merely an observer, not interfering in anything.
