A bowl of tea, dividing into yin and yang, clear and turbid, upon entering, it was like two long rivers, sweeping through the whole body with great momentum.
Jiang Li seemed to see the differentiation of yin and yang, the opening of clarity and turbidity, the Five Vile Qi transforming again into the spiritual mechanism, with heaven and earth like a Taiji, circulating and transforming.
The newly born heaven and earth spiritual mechanism sprouted from the Five Vile Qi, drawing strength from it; the stronger the evil qi, the stronger the spiritual mechanism, until eventually, clarity and turbidity balanced, with the spiritual mechanism and evil qi harmonizing.
The world of immortality seemed to be right in front of one, ready to be grasped.
"What a beautiful prospect indeed."
Jiang Li showed a contemplative expression and said, "Although it will cause extreme differentiation of power, causing the destructive power of cultivators to become overly inflated, the prospect indeed is beautiful. Even those as powerful as us can gain immortality in this era."
The third grade in the Five Turbid Evil World stands at the top echelon, but the change of heaven and earth would actually destabilize their position.
However, even so, if the change could truly be realized, the third grade could also achieve immortality, rather than merely surviving for hundreds of years in the Five Turbid Evil World.
"But, achieving such a prospect should be extremely difficult, right?" Jiang Li asked.
"Harder than ascending to the heavens, even the third grade may not be able to cultivate the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique," the Daoist Lord nodded and replied.
Everyone has their own path, the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique is developed from the evolution of the Yin Yang Dao, and to master it, one not only needs talent and intellect but also deep cultivation in the Yin Yang Dao.
Not everyone is suited to this cultivation technique. Although there's a saying of three thousand great paths ultimately leading to the same destination, before reaching the end, they are ultimately different paths. Also, accommodating a Dao Fruit is, to some extent, choosing a path. For example, accommodating a Ghost Attribute Dao Fruit basically means one can only cultivate Yin energy, making the fusion of yin and yang almost impossible.
"Has the Daoist Lord discussed this with the Awakened?" Jiang Li asked again.
"Indeed, I have," the Daoist Lord nodded again, "A hundred years ago, when I initially created this Magic Door, I discussed this doctrine with him. My intention was to persuade the Awakened to give up ascending and walk this path instead."
"Then why did the Awakened become enemies with the Daoist Lord?"
Jiang Li spoke unhurriedly, "From what I know of the Awakened, even if he doesn't agree with this doctrine, it shouldn't have made him an enemy of the Daoist Lord. Or is it that the Daoist Lord intends to eliminate anyone potentially ascending to the second grade?"
The future shaped by the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique has a distinctive feature that makes it intolerable to some.
Jiang Li, too, had already become familiar with the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique, and he also had plans to transform the Five Turbid Evil World. Naturally, he also perceived what kind of specificity would be entailed in the future described by the Daoist Lord.
Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, the Daoist Lord restrained his gentle expression, revealing a solemn demeanor, and said, "Using yin and yang to separate clarity and turbidity, this method originates from me, so the newly formed world is a Yin Yang Cultivation World, and the source of all ten thousand qi is controlled by me; I am the Taoist Ancestor."
The world divided by yin and yang naturally should prioritize the Yin Yang method.
Though there is the saying of yin and yang birthing all things, when it comes to cultivation techniques, there are differences. By then, the efficiency of other cultivation techniques in absorbing spiritual energy will surely be greatly inferior to that of the yin and yang method.
Moreover, as the highest achiever of the Yin Yang Dao, and the creator of the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique, the Daoist Lord will become the nominal and actual strongest.
He is the Taoist Ancestor.
This kind of future shaped by the Daoist Lord should also propel him forward, to become the ancestor of a path.
In a sense, the Daoist Lord accommodating the Dao Fruit of "I" indeed isn't wrong, as his path is also advancing toward becoming the Taoist Ancestor.
As for such a future, not to mention the Awakened, looking at the world, few strong individuals would want someone they cannot surpass looming over them.
"Even though I claim to be only reshaping heaven and earth, without personal motives, whether it be the Awakened or fellow Daoists, I suppose none of you would feel assured, correct?" The Daoist Lord looked at Jiang Li, seemingly already guessing his response.
"So, is the Daoist Lord going to act?"
Jiang Li looked at the aged Daoist, the glow between his brows flickering, faintly revealing a mark, his entire aura fluctuating, ready to erupt.
The Daoist Lord, on the other hand, still showed no aura, yet an invisible mighty force was condensing around him.
At this point, a confrontation was inevitable.
Jiang Li had drank the tea of respect but couldn't offer it in return.
Qi mechanism flowed across, and just as an earth-shaking battle was about to erupt, Jiang Li, merging with heaven and earth, unleashed an unparalleled force destined to descend.
However, at this moment—
A surge of black qi suddenly rose to Jiang Li's face, making his originally god-like and demon-like body appear utterly vile and decayed.
"Pff—"
Jiang Li spat out a mouthful of black blood, looking at the Daoist Lord in disbelief, "There's poison in the tea..."
Before the words were finished, Jiang Li fell back to the sky, kicked his legs out, and died.
Daoist Lord: "······"
The Daoist had been through countless experiences in his life and could boast about having seen all sorts of situations, but today, he had to admit, this he truly hadn't seen before.
In this moment, even the Daoist Lord's Supreme Forget Love Daoist Heart uncharacteristically experienced a thought of speechlessness, producing ripples.
Thus, a flaw emerged.
In less than a split second, the world was filled with black and white, and a giant Taiji from behind the Daoist Lord struck his body.
Pure Light responded swiftly, instantly condensing into nine layers, yet it could not halt the Taiji at all. Instantaneous defense but the opponent anticipated every inch of the Pure Qi's variations and subtleties, the Taiji revolving, unstoppable.
But the Daoist Lord's response was not untimely either. Pure Light burst out, driving the Yin Yang Qi to pour out, the nine layers of Pure Light were breached, yet Yin Yang twisted behind, likewise transforming into Taiji, colliding with the offensive.
"Buzz!"
The space shook violently, in an instant, over ten thousand ripples spread out, shattering everything within the coverage range, the Daoist Lord's Yin Yang Taiji was flawless, and formidable Jiang Li who mastered the root of Qi Dao could not break through.
Moreover, he had initially created the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique a hundred years prior, and after a hundred years of cultivating, breathing the Five Vile Qi to transform into spiritual mechanism, his power was not inferior to Jiang Li.
However, after the Taiji, scarlet light flickered, Chi You's Flag metamorphosed into a Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword, All Heaven Divine Sha obliterating all things, carrying chaotic scenes, suddenly assaulted.
Thousands of ripples were obliterated, the Divine Blade's edge struck the dragon-like line at the center of the Yin Yang Taiji, the Divine Evil surged, extinguishing and splitting yin and yang, directly attacking the Daoist Lord's body.
At the same time, beneath Jiang Li's fallen body, from within that shadow, a red shadow flickered and jumped out, biting the Daoist Lord's calf.
This was an act of righteousness, one against two.
Even though the Daoist Lord's response was as timely as ever, in the absence of initiative, he would be injured by Jiang Li.
But——
An irresistible mighty force descended, everything in the world became silent, ghosts and gods disappeared, and all things were peaceful.
At that moment, Jiang Li could clearly sense that the Dao Fruit within him had seemingly separated again, with divine skills becoming ineffective one after another.
This was——Daoism Rules the World, its ghosts do not manifest!
