Taiyi Dao Fruit

Law Order, the deity skilled in delivering messages, is mandated within the Heavenly Court mythology to exclusively convey the Thunder Department's messages.

Previously, Taoists performing rituals would generally invoke the Divine's help, especially during sacrifices to Heaven or rain prayers, appending the phrase "Rapidly as the Law Order" at the end. It meant that the talisman was as swift as the Law Order, reaching Heaven directly to solicit divine aid.

The second ability of the Law Order Dao Fruit was the manifestation of the phrase "Rapidly as the Law Order."

Jiang Li's extensive reading wasn't for nothing; having navigated the sea of books for so long, he was almost as familiar with the Mystic Sect's lore as the back of his hand. He immediately recognized that the person embodied the Law Order Dao Fruit.

He pondered inwardly but outwardly feigned realization, "So that's it. I previously saw a member of the Jiang family displaying Thunder Techniques and extreme speed and wondered when our sect had acquired such a Dao Fruit. Turns out it's from the Taiping Sect."

"That person must be associated with the Taiping Sect, as both the Law Order and the Yellow Turban Warriors are unique Dao Fruits of the Taiping Sect," Xiang Shushi said with a laugh.

[p]Xiang Shushi's eyes flickered with profound meaning, clearly highly concerned about the Taiping Sect. His earlier mention of the Taiping Sect might have also been to remind Gongsun Qingyue to be wary of them.[/p]

A line flashed across the Karma Collection.

The Law Order of the Taiping Sect was more capable than the court's Divine Travel Grand Protector, which undoubtedly indicated a rather ominous trend. Coupled with the word "Taiping," closely linked to rebellion, it could well lead to turmoil in the future.

'Not only Dinghu Sect, other places are also experiencing upheaval,' Jiang Li reflected internally.

Having harbored Li Chunfeng's Dao Fruit, Jiang Li's talent in Mystical Divination Skill was significantly enhanced, and his instincts became sharper. Now, he sensed that a storm was brewing.

"Is the Taiping Sect related to the Jiang family?" Gongsun Qingyue also said, "This sect venerates the Yellow Emperor and has countless followers among the populace. If it's connected with the Jiang family, it might indeed breed serious trouble. Privy Council Chief Executive, I shall inform my master of this matter, so she can personally decide."

"Yes," Xiang Shushi bowed in response.

"Additionally, summoning the Divine Travel Grand Protector this time is to dispatch someone from the court to investigate the whereabouts and circumstances of the Jiang's branch families."

Gongsun Qingyue handed over the list collated by Jiang Li to Xiang Shushi.

After quickly scanning it, Xiang Shushi replied, "We have been keeping an eye on the Jiang's branch families. Investigating them won't be difficult."

The Divine Travel Grand Protector, serving both as a messenger and a top spy, formed the basis of the court's intelligence network. The attention of the court was undoubtedly focused on the Jiang family, something Xiang Shushi knew well.

"How long will it take?"

"Not more than seven days."

"Seven days?" Gongsun Qingyue glanced at Jiang Li.

Seeing Jiang Li nod slightly, she said, "Then let it be seven days. Thank you, Xiang Shushi."

"It's my duty."

Xiang Shushi bowed again, then left swiftly like a fierce wind.

After his departure, Gongsun Qingyue turned to Jiang Li, her eyes sparkling with clever thoughts, "Are you planning to use the family to threaten the disciples of the Jiang family within the sect?"

"I'm integrating them into the sect," Jiang Li corrected.

"I think you just want to have your own followers," Gongsun Qingyue scoffed dismissively.

Integrating Jiang family disciples into the sect?

Setting aside whether they could integrate, would Jiang Li himself be willing to lose such support?

Impossible.

Jiang Li was so petty that he even nitpicked with women, so how could he let go of such an opportunity at hand?

"Be thorough in your actions, and don't give others any handle against you," Gongsun Qingyue warned, "Some might not wish to see you succeed. Within the sect, there's no shortage of people who distrust the Jiang family."

Here, the Jiang family referred naturally to Jiang Li and Elder Tianpeng.

If everyone genuinely trusted Elder Tianpeng, then there would be no need for him to recuse himself.

A sect is ultimately a collective, and what a collective never lacks is divergent thoughts.

"I'm looking forward to experiencing the high strategies of a True Inheritor," Jiang Li stated calmly.

The Derivation Method of the Magician Dao Fruit often used Divination. The more accurate the calculations, the faster the progress. Jiang Li dared say that among his peers, no one could match him in this regard. His countless previous divinations would now become his sustenance, allowing him to start at a higher point than others after harboring the Dao Fruit.

And the specific Derivation Method of Li Chunfeng...

Jiang Li looked at the Karma Collection.

[p]"You feel your fusion with the Dao Fruit deepening."[/p]

This line suddenly appeared.

Li Chunfeng was not only accomplished in Mysticism but also had significant achievements in calendrics, meteorology, astronomy, history, and mathematics, compiling and annotating texts such as the "Book of Jin," "History of the Five Dynasties," and "Ten Mathematical Manuals."

Thus, one of Li Chunfeng's Derivation Methods for his Dao Fruit was to organize and annotate the scholarship of the predecessors, compiling them into volumes for posterity.

Although Jiang had never compiled or annotated scholarly texts, he did resonate with the Derivation of the Dao Fruit in a certain way, which kept his fusion with the Dao Fruit progressing smoothly.

Due to the low compatibility, the process was slow, but it had the advantage of persistence.

Confucius said: Food and sex are human nature.

This phrase penetrates to the core; people might be disinterested in anything, but they would never neglect these two aspects. Thanks to Tu Qi Longevity, the disciples of the Dinghu Sect deeply recognized their pursuit of their own nature, also keeping Jiang Li's Dao Fruit fusion progressing nonstop.

From this perspective, the Dao Fruit transformed by the Karma Collection not only closely matched Jiang Li's own essence but also resonated with his needs and aligned with his thoughts. Thanks to Jiang Li's prior accumulations, the transformed Dao Fruit would also lean in this direction.

The Karma Collection's Golden Finger was incredibly considerate.

'It's this approach... alas, such a pity. Should Li Chunfeng be aware in the spirit world that his Dao Fruit has been derived in such a manner, he might be angered enough to resurrect.'

Jiang Li thought emotionlessly, then began pondering over what book to write next.

He had originally planned to retire after completing "Young Hero A Bin," but life often does not go as one desires, leaving Jiang Li to lament the whims of Creation Teasing.

By then, Gongsun Qingyue asked, "Once you receive the intelligence, how do you plan to act?"

"Naturally, with the force of thunder sweeping through lairs, executing decisive actions," Jiang Li's gaze became distant as if he could see the near future, "If familial safety doesn't outweigh loyalty to the lord, then no amount of effort will help, and we might as well honor their loyalty."

In other words, it meant death.

As for Elder Tianpeng's statement about merely punishing the principal culprits...

Jiang Li would try to have his family members on his side carry out the deeds, to spare their hands from excessive bloodshed.

Indeed, Jiang Li intended to only punish the principal culprits, but others might not.
