Taiyi Dao Fruit

Chapter 55 Observing Qi



"If Wang Chongyang's Dao Fruit focused on growth, then Li Chunfeng's Dao Fruit was all about observation and divination, with all the benefits brought by the Dao Fruit residing in the Divine Essence, which could be said to be quite extreme.

However, there is good in the extreme. In terms of observation and divination, Jiang Li experienced a qualitative leap overnight. Wherever his gaze landed, the flow of air, the changes in the weather, and the evolution of Qi Mechanisms, all were as clear as the patterns on the palm, without any obscurity.

The Yisi Divination, Lin De Calendar, and Tuibei Diagram were like three external computers, observing the changes in the Three Talents, complementing Jiang Li's own Divine Farmer's appearance to the effect that it was as wonderful as when Golden Wind meets Jade Dew, ineffable.

Moreover, with the addition of the Dao Fruit Ability of Dual Cultivation of Life and Spirit, there was no need to worry about the Qi Element and Essence Element falling behind.

'Li Chunfeng's Dao Fruit might not be the strongest, but it is definitely the most suitable for me. With this Dao Fruit Ability, I may truly be able to deduce the 'Qi Tomb',' Jiang Li reflected inwardly.

Although he had stolen the route of practice from Luu Wangji, he had ultimately not fathomed the Essence in its entirety. His True Qi was vast and powerful but did not have a second Qi Sea like Luu Wangji had opened up. Lacking the method to open up a Qi Sea, his True Qi was indeed mighty, but still not as voluminous as Luu Wangji's.

Now, with Li Chunfeng's Dao Fruit within him, he could further deduce with the Divine Farmer's appearance and attempt to open up a second or even a third Qi Sea.

That was internally, as for externally...

Jiang Li's gaze focused on Gongsun Qingyue; wherever he looked, every detail was revealed, and with just one glance, Jiang Li had grasped various data about her and had even sketched out her figure in his mind.

He could even grasp the Qi Mechanism within her body, having thoroughly observed her inside and out.

Jiang Li dared to say that no one knew Senior Sister Gongsun's figure better than him, not even Gongsun Qingyue herself.

At the same time, Jiang Li also saw Gongsun Qingyue's Qi.

This was not the Three Elements Qi, but the Qi Shu; in the past, when Jiang Li observed Qi, he saw the other person's Qi Mechanism, but now, he saw the more mystical Qi Shu.

In his eyes, a column of golden-yellow brilliance clearly reflected, surging straight into the sky, seemingly in subtle communication with the surrounding heaven and earth, transforming into a dragon shape.

This was the Qi Shu from the Sect.

A life's fate is like the stars, possessing a special "Gravity," and Qi Shu is the physical manifestation of that "Gravity." The Sect is a collective of people; the Sect's Qi Shu is the collective Qi Shu of its disciples, which protects them, preventing outsiders from prying.

Jiang Li also had the Sect's Qi Shu to protect him, but compared to Gongsun Qingyue, his status within the Sect was far inferior; the Qi Shu protecting him was not even vaporous, let alone a pillar of light.

'Besides, Gongsun Qingyue's Qi Shu faintly turns into a dragon, which suggests it includes her family's Qi Shu; there's a high likelihood she's connected to the Royal Family. As a fellow Sect member, the Sect's Qi Shu doesn't block me much, but the family's Qi Shu is harder to see through.'

The Qi Shu of the Sect and the family completely enveloped the individual's Qi Shu, so much so that even Jiang Li could not see Gongsun Qingyue's personal fate; his eyes only saw the golden-yellow dragon column.

This was only because Jiang Li's Dao Fruit was special; if it were any other Magician, the golden light would likely blur their vision upon first glance, preventing them from seeing the Qi Shu clearly.

He confirmed it; she's a rich lady with a profound background.

With this thought, Jiang Li asked, "Magicians can observe Qi, so why not try to find Jiang Clan members through Observing Qi?"

Although his ability to observe Qi far surpassed others due to his special Dao Fruit, Jiang Li believed that there were definitely strong individuals within the Sect whose Qi Observation Skill exceeded his; not ubiquitous, but certainly not few.

"Do you think our Sect is the only one proficient in the Echange Skill?"

Gongsun Qingyue crossed her arms over her chest, as if to dispel the chilling sensation of having been seen through and maintain the dignity of being a Senior Sister, and said indifferently, "Our Sect possesses the 'Dragon Armor Divine Chapter,' and the Jiang family has the 'Gui Cang Yi,' which complements the 'Qi Tomb.' Apart from you, everyone who has joined our Sect from the Jiang family has been stripped of the link to their real names, hiding the fate of the clan.

Some general divinations might involve them, but if narrowing down to individuals, especially divining their identities, no one within the Sect can achieve this, not even the Sect Leader."

So, it still depends on me, Jiang Li.

Hearing this, Jiang Li had already made a decision in his heart.

Jiang Zhuyun currently had three main forms of reliance, first was the oath, second was the hidden identity of his clan members, and third was the surge of the Yinglong Dao Fruit.

The first one could not affect Jiang Li, and the third one would be handled by the Sect; what Jiang Li had to do was to abolish the second, and then make a move on Jiang Zhuyun himself.

"Let's go," Jiang Li suddenly said.

"Go?" Gongsun Qingyue heard these inexplicable words and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Meet with Jiang Zhuyun. Having passively suffered two assassination attempts, it's time to repay the favor."

As he spoke, Jiang Li walked towards the nearby boats.

As early as the night Luo Yi attempted to assassinate Jiang Li, Jiang Li had, from Luo Yi's own mouth, confirmed his suspicions about Jiang Zhuyun, and had figured out a way to uncover his identity, determining a rough scope of suspicion after leaving the valley.

Now that Jiang Li had advanced, it was time to force his opponent out of hiding.

As for why he asked Gongsun Qingyue to come along, of course, it was for her to act as a bodyguard.

Even though he was confident about getting away unscathed, he still needed to take necessary precautions. Wasn't the show of his abilities before Gongsun Qingyue the previous night, stirring up her curiosity, just for this moment?

The plan went through.

A boat carrying both of them set out, gradually distancing itself across Dinghu under the clear morning sky, heading towards the location he had already predicted.

Among the Seventh Rank disciples of the Dinghu Sect, more than half were recipients of the Divine Attribute Dao Fruit, but of these Seventh Rank disciples, only an extremely small portion resided on other islands. And among these disciples, only a handful regularly patrolled, raising suspicion of repeatedly performing the Merit Dao Fruit.

Excluding those Law Enforcement Disciples, the list narrowed even further, Jiang Zhuyun's identity emerged.

As their boat approached a serene island, Gongsun Qingyue's expression shifted slightly, finally confirming that Jiang Zhuyun's apparent identity was exposed.

At the same time, she guessed what Jiang Li was planning to do.

"You want me to be your bodyguard?" Gongsun Qingyue spoke softly, like a breeze caressing the face, "Fine, I promise as your senior sister, you won't lose an arm or leg."

As for anything beyond losing arms or legs, that was not guaranteed.

Offended the senior sister and still expecting to be all right?

How could that be possible?

Yet, Jiang Li was not at all apprehensive, "Then, I thank senior sister greatly."

With that, he performed a divination for himself.

Earth Wind Ascending, Kun on top and Xun below, signifying transition from darkness to light, accumulation leading to greater success—a Prosperous and Successful Image.

The early accumulation had reached the point of burgeoning. Seeing this result, Jiang Li smiled faintly—a crystalline light shimmered all around him, releasing invisible ripples that reached out, resonating with those of the same lineage nearby.

—Jiang Zhuyun, good morning, have you eaten? If not, have a bite of resonance first.
