Taiyi Dao Fruit

She definitely excelled over Jiang Li in the mastery of this path.

"Bang!"

The hillock suddenly split at the point where two arrays overlapped, the side belonging to Tianxuan rising upward swiftly. A gigantic stone hand emerged from the raised cross-section and struck towards Jiang Li, its vast shadow completely enveloping him.

Tianxuan took control.

"Eight-Nine Profound Skill, Innate Eight Sceneries."

Jiang Li saw the giant hand descending, yet he remained calm and collected. Eight Sceneries Illusions appeared around him, and in an instant, the Mountain's likeness merged into his body, transforming him.

His figure passed directly through the stone hand, and he then shifted position, passing through the ascending mountain.

The Innate Eight Sceneries encompassed all phenomena, and the Eight-Nine Profound Skill adapted to the winds. Combining the two, within the Eight Sceneries, Jiang Li could shuttle freely—whether through mountains, rivers, flying in the sky, or burrowing underground, no place was unreachable.

Passing through the mountain, Jiang Li entered Tianxuan's Array Plate. The eight sceneries evolved around him, entering from the Li Position to the Jing Gate, then proceeding to Tan Lang, manifesting the Qimen within his body, moving unhindered within the array.

In terms of Qimen, Jiang Li was still no match for Tianxuan, but he was completely unaffected by the Qimen Array Plate. The eight sceneries evolved, quickly approaching the center of the Array Plate.

'This kid has improved too much; moreover, this Cultivation Technique seems specifically designed to counter arrays and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.'

In the past, Tianxuan had always observed Jiang Li's fights with others, but this was the first time he had fought him with full force. It was only during this fight that Tianxuan truly understood how Jiang Li's enemies must have felt.

The progress was too rapid, the growth of strength too unbelievable. Even if he could suppress Jiang Li in some aspects, he still couldn't do anything against him.

More importantly, Tianxuan couldn't bring out his Doumu Yuanjun Dao Fruit, unable to externally uphold third grade.

Seeing Jiang Li quickly approaching, Tianxuan decisively activated "Taiwei Fu", channeling Star Essence in his body.

Wenqu and Po Jun, all waters flow east.

Flipping his palm, he lifted a dark Xuan current, like a reverse waterfall, rushing directly towards the sky.

The Xuan current dispersed Qi, both the Qi Mechanism and True Qi dissipated in front of the dark curtain of the Xuan current. It not only blocked Jiang Li but also concealed his own Qi Mechanism, attempting to shift his position and widen the distance.

However, Jiang Li continued moving without pause, directly entering the Xuan current.

The adaptability of the Eight-Nine Profound Skill allowed him to move in any realm, unconstrained by illusion or reality. Even in a dreamscape, he could exert his full strength without being affected or suppressed, and similar was the case with this Xuan current—it too could not disperse Jiang Li's energy.

Whether in illusion or reality, Jiang Li was always in his strongest state. Combined with the Innate Eight Sceneries Technique, he eliminated any flashy tricks, showcasing what true simplicity and strength meant.

The only way to defeat Jiang Li was through absolute suppression of strength.

As his figure entered the Xuan current, his hand reached out, grasping towards the right hand Tianxuan was using to cast his spell. Tianxuan, seeing this, pinched his jade-like fingers, with starlight shimmering beneath his skin.

Tan Lang meets the cheating stick, revealing its romantic flair.

Tan Lang sits in the Yin Palace, and when encountering "Wind Transformation Cast," the fate is easily entangled by emotions. Transformed into a technique, it had thousands of invisible threads intertwining like emotional threads, instantly entangling Jiang Li as if he was a marionette.

Immediately after, Tianxuan stepped back, giggled mischievously like a young girl, and with a flick of her sleeves, a giant fan appeared in her hand.

It was her signature Magic Treasure when she operated under the identity of Rashamon—the Palm Leaf Fan.

Of course, Tianxuan didn't possess the Dao Fruit of Rashamon; it resided within the Palm Leaf Fan, which was a Dao Artifact. With her current level of strength and realm, she could fully utilize the power of the Palm Leaf Fan, achieving the might of fifth-rank or even fourth-rank.

With a graceful motion of her lithe figure, Tianxuan cleverly constructed a dream, subtly augmenting her strength with Doumu Yuanjun's power. She stirred up a tremendous hurricane, even using Qimen Dunjia to amplify its might.

In an instant, the thousands of threads snapped, and Jiang Li's figure was swept up by the hurricane, tumbling towards the sky.

Although the wind from the Palm Leaf Fan was within the scope of response for the Innate Eight Sceneries, the power of the wild wind was immensely strong, effectively having enough force to throw bricks. As the wind stirred, heaven and earth seemed to shake, and the entire dreamscape appeared as if it might be blown away by a single fan. Jiang Li was no exception, transformed into a shooting star.

"Breast Recognition, I'll show you Breast Recognition."

With a gentle wave of her sleeve, the fractured hillock restored to its original form. Tianxuan leaned on the Palm Leaf Fan, one hand on her hip, feeling immensely satisfied and mentally clear.

However, in the next moment, a pair of arms encircled her willowy waist, familiar warmth passing through her clothes, making her tense up.

Eight-Nine Profound Skill, Wind Transformation—this ability to replace oneself with another in peril was fundamental to the Eight-Nine Profound Skill.

"I've caught you," Jiang Li whispered into her ear from behind.

A scorching sensation instantly swept through her body, causing Tianxuan to stiffen involuntarily, followed by Jiang Li's light laughter.

"Caught me?"

She felt annoyed in her heart, grabbed Jiang Li, and they rolled on the ground. She took the opportunity to turn around, pinning Jiang Li to the ground, face to face, "It was I who approached you; it was I who caught you."

Should one say it's typical of a master and disciple? In some aspects, Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue were exactly alike, both aiming to be on top. Or perhaps, it was Gongsun Qingyue who learned this temperament from Tianxuan.

However, Gongsun Qingyue hadn't learned it completely and had become a paper tiger with strong offense but weak defense, while Tianxuan appeared demure but actually had a strong desire for control. Years of holding power had also fostered her assertive and domineering nature.

But such a temperament was restrained within her heart, never shown outwardly.

Now, Jiang Li had advanced to fourth-rank, showing his fangs and with an aggressiveness that surpassed others. This proactive attack signified that he had passed his developmental phase and was now entering his dominant phase.

"Really?"

Her physically sanctified body overpowered Tianxuan, and after rolling over once, Jiang Li ended up on top.

"What else?"

The master of the dream exerted power, and they rolled once more. Tianxuan, with a charming blush on her face, looked down at Jiang Li from a superior position.

Rolling, flip-flopping, actions seemingly childish, yet they sparked a challenging thrill and a fiery emotion within both of them.

"I think I still caught you."

Another flip.

This flip took them rolling down from the edge of the hillside, continuously changing positions as they tumbled down the slope.

Both seemed completely immersed in this game, oblivious to everything else, intently staring at each other, their blood boiling with fervor.

After Jiang Li and Tianxuan had rolled away, a man and a dog stealthily poked their heads over the ridge.

"Wang! (That woman pressing the master to the ground must be forcing the master to play 'Star Rage' fiercely.)"

Forgive a dog's understanding; in Xiao Tian's mind, 'Star Rage' and 'lover' meant no different. Thus, when conveying his thoughts through telepathy, he bluntly used rather vivid language.

"Wang! (No, it's the master who has flipped that woman onto the ground, treating her as 'Star Rage'.)"

"Wang! (And it flipped again······)"

Gongsun Qingyue, hearing this, glared coldly and smacked Xiao Tian on the head, "Get out."

Who knows who this dog learned from, being so frivolous.

Since they had already found the person in the dream, the dog was useless now. Gongsun Qingyue simply smacked Xiao Tian out of the dream, letting him continue being a protector.

The little red dog was slapped so hard it spun around, its body dissipated instantly, vanishing without a trace.

Meanwhile, in reality, Xiao Tian, still in a squatting pose, suddenly jerked its head back as if it too had been smacked.

However, when it saw its surroundings, it immediately grinned, its tail wagging like a windmill.

"Wang. (Good, I'm out.)"

Xiao Tian bounced around triumphantly.

Even as a dog, it knew well what kind of turmoil could occur with one male and two females together, and it definitely didn't want to be caught in the middle.

As a dog, if anything happened, Xiao Tian would certainly end up as the scapegoat.

So, Xiao Tian exercised the shocking wisdom learned from its master, spitting audacious words before smoothly exiting the dream.

As for what would happen to its master······

It was just a dog, not clever enough to solve problems for its master, but it trusted its master's wisdom.
