At first, when a scant few traces of Dao Fruit Resonance, such as Gold in the Sea, Furnace Fire, and Great Forest Wood, descended into the Great One Diagram,

Liu Dongqing could not sense them clearly.

He only felt that the treasured diagram had gained a little extra wonder.

Perhaps one day, all of them would become nourishment and merge with Sexagenary Life-Slaying, allowing this Dao Fruit he had drawn forth and created from nothing
