A flash of fiery red color passed across the Dharma Platform, the Princess appeared in the void, and judging by her icy look, the search for Feng Manlou was not going smoothly.

Xiao Tian followed closely behind, fearing that the Princess might catch a glimpse of something improper, which would result in his discomfort.

Fortunately, from what he saw, it looked rather respectable.

Jiang Li stood at the threshold of the Ghost Gate, while that Yinglong Dragon hovered beside him, not hanging on Jiang Li like before.

"I must find Feng Manlou."

As soon as she arrived, she addressed Jiang Li straightforwardly, "I wish you to use Yi Dao Inference to locate his whereabouts."

From the result, my good elder brother's suspicion is growing. If he was not deliberately revealing his identity, why would he not come to meet the Princess?

Jiang Li speculated to himself and then said, "Sister-in-law should also be aware of his capabilities. The Great Venerable is today's top person in Magic and also the foremost in Yi Dao, wanting to use the Echange Skill to divine is not as effective as mobilizing manpower to search directly."

However, with the Great Venerable's Divine Skills, if he chooses to hide his traces, no one should be able to find him.

Even searching for his Avatar may not be useful, if he wishes to hide, he can simply withdraw his Avatar.

"Others may fail, but you can," the Princess shook her head, her eyes burning as she stared at Jiang Li, "I know you have once divined him and discerned his origin."

It was when Jiang Li and Feng Manlou were on their way to Yong Province, unintentionally, in a divination, Jiang Li discovered a hidden aspect about the Dragon King's Son-in-law, then became sworn brothers with Feng Manlou.

It was also during that time, Jiang Li was tricked into swearing an Oath of Heaven by Feng Manlou, a seldom-seen moment of being duped in his life, then he held a grudge ever since.

But after that, Jiang Li never managed to divine Feng Manlou again, like it was just a coincidence then, or perhaps Feng Manlou improved his own concealment subsequently.

However, Jiang Li has now completed the Zhuang Zhou Dao Fruit, able to discern the laws of nature and all phenomena, achieving great progress in Yi Dao, capable of directly perceiving the cause-effect connection, even artificially creating butterfly effects.

Previously, Jiang Li discerned the flaw in Manjusri's Qi Shu, allowing him to leverage every beneficial factor to defeat Manjusri.

Now, there's no reason why Jiang Li couldn't divine the Great Venerable once again.

"Worth a try," he nodded.

The icy countenance of the Princess finally eased slightly, she gently waved, a Dragon Scale as large as a book flew from her sleeve towards Jiang Li.

"This is the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter, you may use this to aid your inference."

To ensure Jiang Li's success, the Princess must strive to assist, including lending him the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter from Tianxuan being indispensable.

But after receiving the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter, Jiang Li said, "No hurry, may still increase the certainty."

He activated the Innate Qi, the ocher-colored Wooden Whip seemed to emerge from his palm as if growing. Unlike in the past, now the Jiang family's treasure is enveloped by extremely strong Evil Qi, making both the Master of Rain and the Princess instinctively seal themselves to prevent the intrusion of Five Vile Qi.

If such strong Five Vile Qi entirely enters the body, even a third grade would suffer severe damage, with a good possibility of meeting demise.

No one knows how Ochre Whip can withstand this Five Vile Qi, and how Jiang Li managed to absorb it.

Jiang Li completely ignored the harm of Five Vile Qi, placing Ochre Whip horizontally in front of him, gripping it with one hand, while the other hand pressed against its body, an overwhelming Qi Mechanism emerged from himself, prompting the Five Vile Qi within Ochre Whip to react.

This Five Vile Qi originated from Manjusri.

Jiang Li used Ochre Whip as an arrow, penetrating the flaw in Tathagata's Undestructible True Body with the Sun-shooting Bow, then employing Ochre Whip's ability to transform Essence Qi, converting Buddha Qi into Evil Qi, resulting in Manjusri being refined to death. Manjusri's remaining Power, essence energy, and even Divine Soul, were transformed into Five Vile Qi, which were absorbed by the Ochre Whip.

At this moment, Jiang Li stimulated the Innate Qi, opposing the Five Vile Qi, dividing the Primordial Qi and Dirt Qi into black and white colors, forming a huge Taiji.

The opposing force to All Heaven Divine Sha, the Innate Qi, was now used by Jiang Li to respond to the Five Vile Qi, gradually circulating, countering and generating together.

"In my eyes, all things and phenomena have commonality, and Ten Thousand Qi also has commonality. Different Qi is merely different aspects of Primordial Qi, its essence remains unified. Even the Five Vile Qi..."

The Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique unraveled for Jiang Li the mysteries of pure and impure transformation, and now Jiang Li, upon discovering that the Five Turbid Evil World is a form of 'sick' transformation, has gained a deeper understanding of the transformation of Qi.

As Manjusri mentioned, Jiang Li has already grasped the origin of Qi Dao.

Although there are still flaws, like if someone stronger than Jiang Li with purer True Qi could threaten Jiang Li, but he has indeed peeked and touched the origin of Qi Dao.

"Woo—"

The Five Vile Qi suddenly erupted with a shrill-like sound, turbulent filthy streams poured out of the Ochre Whip, yet were absorbed into the Taiji.

The intention of Heaven's decline manifested within the dirt Qi, bestowed the ability to erode Ten Thousand Qi, yet constantly transformed into Ten Thousand Qi.

All things share a common nature, and the Five Vile Qi is no exception. The Heart of the Supreme reflects upon all Qi. In Jiang Li's perception, the Five Vile Qi is simply another aspect of Primordial Qi, sharing the same fundamental nature.

However, unlike other types of Qi, the Five Vile Qi embodies a sense of universal decay, seemingly representing a sickness of Heaven and Earth, unlike other Qis which can be easily transformed.

But for Jiang Li, this difficulty in transformation is merely a superficial constraint.

His divine intent continuously wears down this decay, while the "One-foot Hammer" and the "Nourishing Life Master" constantly replenish it. As Jiang Li's Qi Mechanism dictates, this Five Vile Qi is restored to its original form, which is the Buddha Qi of Manjusri.

The brilliant golden Pure Saint Qi surged out from Jiang Li's body, dividing and returning to its original form. Various Qi Mechanisms transformed, evolving into heaven, earth, wood, wind, fire, water, mountain, and gold, the Innate Eight Qi.

Manjusri made a decision that defied the ancestors by integrating the Innate Qi into Buddhist Law, and now Jiang Li altered it back to its original state.

The Innate Eight Qi evolved, further transforming into spiritual intents of return, hide, life, movement, growth, nurture, cessation, and annihilation, converging into eight ancient seal characters that intermingled.

"Gui Cang Yi?" the Yinglong Dragon finally spoke.

She observed the eight ancient characters manifesting around Jiang Li and perceived the profound mysteries they contained.

The Jiang family's "Qi Tomb" and "Gui Cang Yi" are two sides of the same coin. "Qi Tomb" is the fundamental method, whereas "Gui Cang Yi" is more than just a Yi Dao Mystic Technique; it also applies to the Innate Qi, encompassing the wonders of its complete application.

Jiang Li comprehended the complete "Qi Tomb" through the Divine Farmer's Cauldron, yet there was always a slight deficiency in his application.

But now, Jiang Li absorbed Manjusri's Innate Qi, transforming and simulating Manjusri's Divine Sense. From it, he comprehended Manjusri's mastery of the Innate Qi, gradually deducing its integration.

Transforming the Five Vile Qi into Innate Buddha Qi, further dividing and simulating, once grasping the single commonality, this world is as insignificant as a finger, all things as trivial as a horse.

Jiang Li deeply embodied his own Dao, understanding myriad transformations, but fundamentally there is only "One."

The commonality of all things, with one birth, gives rise to all things.

"Only an understanding of unified Qi throughout the world."

With a gentle sigh, the Five Vile Qi completely transformed, merging into Jiang Li's body. The Eight Qi circulated, manifesting the Eight Sceneries, and the divine intent converged, permeating throughout his being.

Jiang Li's figure stood clearly before everyone, yet upon closer inspection, he appeared as enigmatic as clouds and mists, as lofty as the heavens.

Absorbing Manjusri's Qi propelled him to a new breakthrough.

Progress in power is secondary; Jiang Li's understanding of the transformation of the Five Vile Qi means that, given enough time, he could continually advance by absorbing the spiritual mechanism, much like a cultivator from before the End of Dharma.

While Manjusri's Qi is indeed profound, it is merely the icing on the cake. The true benefit for Jiang Li comes from "Gui Cang Yi."

Such Divine Skill as the "Qi Tomb" of Emperor Yan was probed by Jiang Li to unveil its demonic side—by absorbing others' Innate Qi, he could enhance his power, observe the Way through Qi, absorb their knowledge and make it his own.

However, the more crucial aspect is Jiang Li's ability to control this demonic nature at will and transform it into use.

'Moreover, at my level, after absorbing Manjusri's Innate Qi, there are almost no "Qi Tomb" cultivators who could benefit me. A Heavenly Monarch might, but unfortunately, I am no match······'

From Jiang Zhuliu all the way here, siphoning the Qi of the Jiang family's main household members, unknowingly, the function of the Jiang family's main household has been exhausted, and their people are nearly eradicated.

Manjusri is dead, and the Jiang family members in the Buddha Country have been slaughtered by the Great Venerable's avatar. It's likely there are some main household members near the coastal areas or overseas, but definitely not many.

Without a leader, the remaining members are insignificant.

It could even be said that the Jiang family's main household gradually declined after the previous Family Head, Jiang Tao, was assassinated by the Heavenly Monarch. Were it not for Jiang Li killing Manjusri, the main household might have fallen completely into the hands of the Heavenly Monarch.

'Those main household members should still have "Gui Cang Yi" scriptures. If given the opportunity, I could retrieve them to compare with my deductions.'

As for now, it's time to reckon with the Great Venerable.

Jiang Li hoped that his good brother didn't deliberately expose his identity and flee, as that would mean more than just Jiang Li being in trouble.

Judging by the Princess's demeanor, she seems set on clashing with Feng Manlou. Without locating Feng Manlou, the Princess might not even be able to handle Earth Uncle's challenges, let alone abandon her responsibilities.

Jiang Li didn't even need to use the Heavenly Eye to see that while the Princess's Qi Mechanism appeared calm, it was actually tumultuous, indicating her restless heart.

For this, Jiang Li could only hope to truly discover the Great Venerable's whereabouts.

With this in mind, Jiang Li operated Mysterious Skill, with True Qi taking form. The heaven, earth, man, and divinity four discs emerged simultaneously beneath his feet, sculpting the form of the Wind Queen Compass with the Divine Skill of Outer Object Transformation.

Then, he launched a stream of Essence Qi that struck the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter, from which streams of Heavenly Seal flew out, evolving into one thousand and eighty array formations.
