When Jiang Li flipped through the Karma Collection, the first thing that caught his eye was a sage wearing a tall crown and a broad belt. Closely following that page, the one bearing the imprint of the Daoist also conveyed corresponding information.

Jiang Li: "..."
He had thought this real person was a Sixth Grade Dao Fruit, but it turned out that the Dao Fruit, named as a real person, was actually an immortal. "Peace Technique" had even appeared.
One could only say that Zhuang Zhou truly was versatile indeed.
As the pages turned, the final silhouette was also imprinted at that moment.
However, unlike the previous ones, this silhouette had no front; it was a back view.
——[Fifth Grade Dao Fruit·Zhuangzi (Incomplete)]
This Dao Fruit didn't even contain specific information; it wasn't in a complete state yet, but even so, it was still listed as fifth-rank. A complete Dao Fruit would at least be fourth-rank.
'The Third Grade Dao Fruit of Buddhist Zhen Ru is definitely of an Awakened, so he holds Zhuang Zhou Dao Fruit in fourth-rank status?'
'That's not right, Buddhist Zhen Ru said he still needed this Dao Fruit, could not return it, and even split off part of the Dao Fruit, something unheard of for a Dao Fruit that could still split after being held. This Dao Fruit might not be held by him, but could serve another purpose.'
Whichever it was, Jiang Li now couldn't snatch a Dao Fruit from a holder of third grade, especially one who was among the supreme.
The key matter at hand was to complete the Dao Fruit for promotion.
Three imprinted book pages flew out simultaneously and merged with the blue butterfly to complete the Grandmaster Dao Fruit. A blurred figure suddenly appeared in Jiang Li's mind.

"One-Foot Hammer: The One-Foot Hammer, halving it each day, never exhausts even after ten thousand generations. If the True Qi consumed is not more than half, it can immediately recover without exhaustion."
An overwhelming amount of information flooded Jiang Li's mind—the information on the Dao Fruit, the information observed by the Dao Fruit Divine Power, and the insights Jiang Li gained from observing the information. His brain seemed to be expanding, his eyes wide open, and a visible white mist rose from the top of his head.
His brain was literally smoking, indicating that Jiang Li's brain was experiencing an overload. His body, tempered to be extremely powerful, was unable to withstand the burden brought by this wisdom.
After all, the Cultivation Technique that Jiang Li practiced had no function to temper the brain; at most, it could temper the Mud Ball Palace's Sea of Consciousness through Divine Sense. His brain could only be strengthened indirectly by enhancing his physical body.
"With such wisdom, one could truly be called astounding."
"Jiang Li had no choice but to distract himself with random thoughts and close his eyes, cutting off one method of receiving information to reduce the burden."
"The Zhuang Zhou Dao Fruit is simply too powerful. Even now, without any substantial increase in power, Jiang Li could still feel his strength surging, explosively increasing, wildly burgeoning, and dominatingly expanding."
"······"
Text scrolled frantically on the Karma Collection, representing the miscellaneous thoughts Jiang Li tried to divert his attention with.
He had never thought that one day he would almost perish because the Dao Fruit was too powerful. The Zhuang Zhou Dao Fruit was indeed too overpowering for him to handle.
Compared to this Dao Fruit, his time with Tianxuan for three days and nights now seemed somewhat relaxed.
At least now, Jiang Li felt that he definitely wouldn't be squeezed dry to the point where he couldn't straighten his back, relying on the Dao Fruit to sustain his life.
The tactic of distracting his thoughts and closing his eyes did have some effect, but Jiang Li could still feel the burden, causing his True Qi to become agitated and drawing increasingly profound heavenly clouds.
Previously, it was a deliberate loss of control, but now Jiang Li truly lost control, leading to an imbalance of Essence Qi.
But even with the loss of control, just with these tribulation clouds, they were unlikely to trouble Jiang Li anymore.
The descending Ren Water Divine Thunder didn't even get close before it was refined by a force of Primordial Qi and turned into a cloud of water vapor.
No matter how fierce the Tribulation Qi was, it was not enough to truly harm Jiang Li.
But then—
"So it's a junior from the Dinghu Sect crossing the tribulation, boy, your luck is bad, this god was just planning to target your Dinghu Sect's ill luck."
A brash voice burst like thunder suddenly sounded from the southern sky, and a giant ape extended its hand toward the sky. A massive amount of water vapor surged like a flood, emptying into the tribulation clouds.
The tribulation clouds surged in power instantly, and a pitch-black thunderbolt cleaved through the air.
Bang!
A starlight met the thunder, colliding in mid-air with a thunderous explosion. The thunder flowed like water, while the starlight cast downward, blocking the aftermath.
"Wuzhiqi!" Tianxuan called out sharply.
"······"
"······"
"You really don't disappoint, Sixth Brother, to remain unharmed even under Ren Water Divine Thunder. But can you survive the enhanced Thunder Tribulation with Wuzhiqi's interference?"
On the mountain peak, Yun Jiuye witnessed this scene without any surprise.
From the beginning, he knew that mere Heavenly Tribulation couldn't trouble Jiang Li.
Back when he was Seventh Rank, he had sponged off Yun Jiuye's Heavenly Wood Tribulation and had safely passed it, despite the tribulation's reduced power due to Yun Jiuye, which other Seventh Ranks couldn't have withstood.
Now that Jiang Li had achieved Sixth Grade Perfection, if the Ren Water Thunder Tribulation could trouble him, Yun Jiuye would instead worry that Jiang Li was playing some trick.
However, with Wuzhiqi intervening in the Thunder Tribulation, it was different.
And likely, there might be interventions from the Kunxu Immortal Palace as well.
Once a tribulation starts, people would continually join in—Jiang Li and Tianxuan, this master-disciple pair, certainly had no shortage of enemies.
"With injuries, yet still exuding such strong Qi Mechanism, Sixth Brother, you really keep surprising me more and more."
Little did Yun Jiuye know that Jiang Li had a master skilled in True Qi Dual Cultivation, so he still maintained an optimistic speculation about Jiang Li's situation.
