The Chaohua Pavilion is indeed not a suitable place for seclusion; for Jiang Li, being downstairs or upstairs makes no difference.

The two floors can't obstruct his perception.

"Let us go up and take a look then."

As Tianxuan spoke, everyone went upstairs together and saw Jiang Li cultivating.

At this moment, Jiang Li was sitting cross-legged, suspended in the air. Infinite white light surrounded him like mist, blurring his figure, making it appear indistinct. Yet amidst the blur, black and white circulated, forming a Taiji, appearing exceptionally clear.

It was as if Jiang Li's figure was replaced by this Taiji, with the circulation of Yin and Yang transforming Heaven and Earth. Above was heaven, below was earth; Heaven and Earth generated the six voids, circulating endlessly.

As Jiang Li evolved Taisu, his Taiji skill advanced along with it.

Taiji gives birth to all things; its theoretical endpoint is transforming to create all things in heaven and earth, with all phenomena evolving. Although Jiang Li had achieved success in the Taiji Dao, he was far from the endpoint.

Now, with Jiang Li evolving Taisu, the Taiji Dao also advanced in understanding, for Taiji and Taisu were originally one, and this "one" was Jiang Li's Dao.

His evolution of Taisu completed the other aspect of "one," enhancing his own realm. The advancement of "one" also refined the Taiji aspect within it.

Taiji performs the myriad transformations, while Taisu formed a cloud-like white light around him, breaking the barrier between his body and heaven and earth. Even space seemed to manifest collapse, showing distinct traces as the cloud-like white light flowed.

Noticing the arrival of Tianxuan, Gongsun Qingyue, and the Princess, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes. The white halo of cloud qi retracted back into his body, rendering the Taiji blurred. His entire person seemed covered in a layer of plain white, with the space around him showing apparent collapse.

"Transform."

Jiang Li suddenly spoke, his voice like a heavenly sound, carrying an undeniable majesty. The once vague figure immediately became clear, and the plain white on his body swiftly receded.

In an instant, the Taisu Qi on Jiang Li's body transformed back into Taiji, and he returned to normal.

'Reversing the Innate truly isn't an easy feat; even with the assistance of a Primordial Lord, it's impossible to achieve it all at once. It's merely the entry point.' Jiang Li thought to himself, yet he felt no surprise.

A human is among the myriad things, belonging to the Taiji. Attempting to reverse Taiji to cultivate Taisu has inherent limitations. Not to mention, Jiang Li also aimed to grasp the essence, freely transforming between Taiji and Taisu.

To have entered the path within a day is already a considerable achievement. Having set the beginning, the rest won't be difficult.

Jiang Li has always had a say in diligent progress.

The Karma Collection ensures his efforts won't be in vain; every bit of progress won't be lost and never regresses. Before encountering a bottleneck, Jiang Li's advancement will not cease.

He descended slowly, his feet touching the ground, while he grasped the Great Circle Sword that was previously resting on his knees.

The exquisite and splendid sword carried a commanding presence like ruling the world, showcasing a strong sense of existence once the Taisu Cloud Qi dissipated, catching the eyes of Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue.

"The Emperor Dao Fruit..."

Tianxuan sighed infrequently with emotion, "The Great Zhou is entering a brand-new era."

Although she had previously guessed that the Emperor would inevitably be killed by Jiang Li, seeing the Emperor Dao Fruit still stirred complex and indescribable feelings.

Gongsun Qingyue felt the same, yet in the next instant, she turned her gaze directly to Jiang Li.

Compared to the Emperor Dao Fruit, it is Jiang, her junior brother, who is truly worthy of attention. Gongsun Qingyue is not yet at the age of reminiscing like an old person and sighing at every turn.

Habitually grumbling in her heart about Tianxuan, Gongsun Qingyue looked at Jiang Li, revealing a bright smile.

A woman experiences many joyful moments in her life, but among them, the happiness brought by a perfect emotional marriage is undoubtedly at the forefront, perhaps even the foremost.

Thus, at this moment, Gongsun Qingyue smiled brightly, without needing words, making it evident that she was happy.

The Princess on the side shifted her gaze, feeling dazzled.

In her heart, she made a note against Feng Manlou.

Even Jiang Li, who prided himself on being single-minded, felt a bit guilty seeing this smile.

Fortunately, I learned audacity from my good brother. Meeting Gongsun Qingyue's eyes, he smiled, "Senior sister, we're getting married."

Gongsun Qingyue's face once again blushed.

However, as a protege of Tianxuan, her heart, though shy, maintained a bright and generous demeanor. At such times, showing cowardice was not an option.

Gently brushing away a stray lock of hair, Gongsun Qingyue said, "I had thought of finding the last weapon of the Military God's Five Weapons as a dowry, but unfortunately, due to Manjusri's meticulous arrangements, it's hard to hastily find where exactly he hid the Annihilation Spear."

Using the Annihilation Spear as a dowry, Gongsun Qingyue's idea is certainly unique.

However, for someone as powerful as Jiang Li, ordinary things are truly hard to catch the eye. The Annihilation Spear, being one of the Military God's Five Weapons and the only Chi You's Weapon that Jiang Li has yet to obtain, is indeed an excellent gift.

To ensure that Jiang Li found it difficult to acquire the Annihilation Spear, Manjusri killed himself and did not carry the Annihilation Spear on him, leaving the Military God's Five Weapons incomplete, which is indeed a regret. If Gongsun Qingyue were to bring back the Annihilation Spear, Jiang Li would gain another Second Grade Daoist Artifact, the benefits of which cannot be easily articulated.

"The Annihilation Spear may have fallen into the hands of Tan Wuwei or Guanyin. When we encounter them in the future, sooner or later, we can retrieve it."

Jiang Li said, then looked at Tianxuan with a faint smile, saying, "Moreover, the matter of a dowry shouldn't be your worry, Senior Sister. This is a responsibility for the elders, isn't it?"

Tianxuan met Jiang Li's gaze and saw a mocking intention in it.

'Oh no, I've been seen through by this rebellious disciple.'

Tianxuan immediately realized that her intention to catch the affair had been seen through. Failing to catch him red-handed naturally means that the rebellious disciple will retaliate, making Tianxuan pay for her distrust.

This time, it was a complete backfire.

She had no idea how the rebellious disciple would humiliate her in return.

Tianxuan maintained a composed expression and replied, "This is indeed the responsibility of the master, Qing Yue, you need not worry."

Gongsun Qingyue observed the situation, her eyes sparkling, as if she sensed something, and she too showed a faint smile, saying, "Then I'll leave it to Master to prepare the dowry for me."

Indeed, it is only with a junior disciple present that I can see this Old Demon's embarrassed look.

Gongsun Qingyue would not miss this opportunity and emphasized the word "dowry", mercilessly teasing Tianxuan.

Although the master and disciple trio appeared to be affectionate, in just a few words, they exhibited a highly unique sect tradition, which left both the knowledgeable Princess and Primordial Lord Rain Master greatly astonished.

Finally, it was the Princess, who could no longer tolerate the display of affection, broke the atmosphere between master and disciples and said, "Since Tianxuan has returned, let her set the date, choose an auspicious day nearby, and complete the marriage quickly to ease the minds of those pests in the royal clan."

At this point, the Princess's beautiful face showed clear irritation.

"It seems Ling Guang has been in a bad temper these past days."

Seeing the Princess's expression, Tianxuan said something similar to what Jiang Li said when he saw the Princess. But the smile in her words indicated that she did not mean the same as Jiang Li, at least Jiang Li did not intend to mock the Princess.

"In a few days, your temper won't be any better either."

The Princess immediately countered, then before Tianxuan could retaliate, pointed at the night outside and said, "Let it end here for tonight, we'll discuss specific matters another day. It's late, I don't want to hear any rumors in a few days that would tarnish my purity. I've heard enough gossip these days."

Everywhere in the Divine Capital are rumors of "Great Zhou Rising, King Jiang Li" and the Southern Heavenly Department has been unable to trace the source, leaving the Princess exasperated. A significant part of her temper stems from this.

Tianxuan also discerned the true source of the Princess's anger, so she abandoned the idea of retorting and said, "Then let's meet another day. Disciple, come with me."

She nodded to the Primordial Lord Rain Master and then led Jiang Li and Gongsun Qingyue downstairs.

The Primordial Lord Rain Master escorted the trio out, then also said to the Princess, "It's late, I shall rest too. I'll come to trouble you again another day."

She had intended on chatting with the Rain Master, but seeing how things were now, she better not get involved.

Why the Primordial Lord Rain Master could suddenly return to human form, the reason behind this...

The Princess was very eager to find out, but things were different now and she couldn't quietly approach to directly learn the situation, so she had to temporarily suppress her curiosity to see how things would unfold.

'If Manlou were here, with his ability, he could discern the specific relationship.'

A thought flashed through the Princess's mind, 'If Jiang Li truly has something going on with the Primordial Lord, could you still sit tight?'

If Feng Manlou knew Jiang Li had something going on with the Primordial Lord Rain Master, would he still comfortably let the Princess associate with Jiang Li? Especially considering the Princess had previously threatened Feng Manlou.

Thinking of this, the Princess wanted to continue investigating Jiang Li and the Primordial Lord Rain Master, yet felt a bit afraid to confirm it, in case Feng Manlou still didn't appear.

"Even I have become timid."

With a light snort, she finally vanished into the garden under the moonlight.

With everyone gone, the Primordial Lord Rain Master slowly closed the door.

She leaned against the door, gently lifted her collar, revealing exquisite collarbones and the red marks disrupting the whiteness.

"The human body after metamorphosis is still slightly less tempered than before; it left marks."

She whispered softly, with golden light flickering in her eyes carrying a deeply hidden instinct. "And this dragon body, after all, still has many differences from the human form."

Softly stroking the red marks, the Rain Master couldn't help but lick her slightly dry lips.
