Holding Rain

Standing before you is the Quicklime Martial Saint, the founder of the Taiyang Fist, the Flower Folding Master of Dinghu, Half-step Master Invincible Under Heaven, the First Sword of Xuanmen, the Judicial God, and Taiyi.

Embracing Dao fruits, ascending step by step, thereby possessing the power of gods and saints, transcending the ordinary to achieve holiness.
'Just like this,' Jiang Li said while summoning a dog, 'Heavenly Dog, bite him.'

Taiyi Dao Fruit

Gongsun Qingyue's heart skipped a beat. 


Jiang Li had suddenly mentioned the True Disciples and didn't even bother to mention Gongsun Qingyue's offer of apology, which made it hard not to overthink the situation.

"Within the Sect, if not apprenticed to the same master, status among fellow disciples is generally determined by their level of cultivation, except for the disciples of the Sect Leader and the Six Hall Elders." 


Gongsun Qingyue pushed her palm forward, propelling the boat onward while speaking, "As of now, there are five True Disciples. The order is decided by the time of apprenticeship. When I became a disciple of Elder Tianxuan, the Sect Leader and Elder Yuheng had already taken disciples, placing me third in rank."
