Too much fruit

Chapter 1003: The Third Party, the Dharma Image of Vairocana Tathagata
The Three Pure Ones seemed to have fallen, or to have been destroyed by some existence or force, but these were just speculations of Jiang Li and Sun Wukong.

Just like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, it is difficult to see the whole picture. The existence of the level of the Three Pure Ones cannot be seen clearly by Jiang Li and Sun Wukong in just a few words.

It’s okay to guess, but it’s best not to believe your guesses as facts.

No matter what, you have to treat it with a 50% false attitude, so as not to become a toad sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

Therefore, in Jiang Li's opinion, instead of thinking about taking the Taoist fruits and instruments left by the Three Pure Ones, it would be better to deal with the Great Heavenly Master and Hanba first.

The body of the Great Heavenly Venerable was taken from the remains of the Heavenly Sovereign, which shows how important the body is to him. Without this body, the Heavenly Venerable might return to its original state. Even if it wanted to, it would not be able to bypass the restrictions set by its ancestors.

At the very least, it can prevent Cang Tian from getting a first-grade Taoist weapon.

He cannot enter the Three Pure Heavens, otherwise, if the heaven descends, Jiang Li really will not be able to suppress the Great Celestial Venerable.

Moreover, without any enemies interfering, Jiang Li had plenty of time to obtain a first-grade Taoist weapon.

While he was thinking, he had already made a plan. Jiang Li silently transmitted a trace of divine thought to Sun Wukong. The man, the monkey, and the dog hiding in Jiang Li's shadow, all began to harbor murderous intentions.

On the other side, the Great Heavenly Venerable naturally also noticed Jiang Li’s thoughts.

Although Emperor Jiang's reputation towards his friends is not bad, and can even be said to be reassuring, to his enemies, Emperor Jiang's reputation is somewhat notorious.

As long as it is against the enemy, every trick will be used, even to the extreme.

The late King of Shu should have a say in this. The reason why the King of Shu lost to Jiang Li, who had just been promoted to the fourth rank, was not only because of his own strength, but also because Jiang Li was good at using strategies.

The King of Shu racked his brains but could not have imagined that Jiang Li would pretend to be Gongsun Qingyue, plot against him secretly and secure his victory.

The Great Celestial Venerable frowned slightly, but did not take action immediately. Instead, he said from a distance: "You two, the Three Pure Heavens have already changed, and the source of the Dharma Ending has also appeared. I am afraid that it has alarmed some beings. If you continue to fight me, be careful that a third party will come and disrupt the situation, leaving you and me with nothing."

Third Party

"Old Tathagata and Mahavairocana," Sun Wukong immediately transmitted his message, "I dare not say anything about the others, but these two are definitely capable of sensing the changes in the Three Pure Heavens. It means they have become wandering ghosts now, otherwise I would have told you to leave."

"Even if they come, so what? We have reinforcements, so there is no need to worry about this." Jiang Li replied.

He already had a plan to ask Ye Tathagata to come over.

There were three first-grade Taoist artifacts, and there might be some backup plans left by the Three Pure Ones. Jiang Li felt that he and Sun Wukong might not be able to handle them all by themselves, and they needed reinforcements.

In addition, Monkey King is actually on the side of Karma Tathagata, and he definitely wants Karma Tathagata to come over.

The man and the monkey looked at each other and immediately understood each other.

"I'm afraid you have some misunderstandings about me."

Jiang Li's face straightened, and he said solemnly: "Everyone knows that I, Jiang Li, respect my teacher and value Taoism. Now that I have entered the Yuxu Temple, I have become a member of the Yuqing Taoist school. How can I allow you to disturb the peace of the Yuanshi Patriarch? I have no desire for the Three Pure Ones' Taoist instruments. I only want to protect the Dharmakaya and Taoist instruments of the Three Pure Ones."

"That's right," the monkey praised loudly, saying, "I, Sun, and the Grand Master... Laojun are close friends regardless of age difference. Laojun has always treated me as his son or nephew and has been very kind to me. I, Sun, will never allow you to destroy his remains."

The man and the monkey spoke righteously, and there was a sense of righteousness in their words, which was truly moving.

Even with the mind of the Great Heavenly Venerable, he felt like shouting "shameless" when he heard what these two people said.

As for Hanba, he was not as expressionless as the Great Heavenly Venerable, and was left speechless by the words of the man and the monkey.

Let’s not talk about what kind of master you, Emperor Jiang, respect, or what kind of Taoism you value. Let’s just talk about you, Monkey King. You, the Fighting Buddha of Buddhism, have become the nephew of the Lord of Daode, right?

Even if Taishang Laojun has a friendship with you, Monkey King, it is definitely not to the point of passing on his Taoist tradition to you, let alone treating you as his son or nephew.

This man and the monkey are lying with their eyes open. They have no shame at all.

"That drought demon has been exposed."

Sun Wukong immediately sent a message to Jiang Li, saying, "How many people after the end of the law know about the specific relationship between me and the Grand Master? It must be that the Great Heavenly Venerable told Hanba about my background and let her know about these things before the end of the law. I guessed correctly, the Great Heavenly Venerable is an old acquaintance."

"I now feel that Hanba itself is an existence before the end of the law." Jiang Li's eyes were deep and his voice was calm.

Eight hundred years ago, Princess Dongyang became possessed during a great war and was sealed away, but returned to normal decades later. She has been dormant under the Heaven and Earth Furnace since then until recently.

And now, not only has she regained her sanity, she even seems to have possessed the strength of a supreme being.

This is not normal, very abnormal.

Perhaps the strength can be increased by continuously absorbing the earth fire, after all, the Hanba Dao Fruit is quite special, but the realm is difficult to break through in the frenzy and sleep.

It can even be said that even if Hanba practiced normally for eight hundred years, he might not be able to reach the realm of the strongest.

If this realm could be broken through by relying on time and effort, there wouldn't be only six strongest people in the world.

Even these six are considered too many.

Over the past thousand years, apart from the Emperor of Zhou who was able to maintain stability and strength, which sect or force dared to say that it could produce a powerful person in every generation?
If this were true, the Ji family might not be the one to rule the world.

Sometimes, the difficulties in realms are so cruel that they can stop thousands of people. The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. Talent, talent, foundation, luck, all kinds of factors are indispensable, but if one is missing, the difficulty will definitely increase greatly.

If Jiang Li didn't have the Cause and Effect Collection, he wouldn't have been able to reach this point so quickly.

If we rule out the possibility of Princess Dongyang's independent breakthrough, then another possibility becomes reasonable.

When Princess Dongyang lost control, it was not because she was possessed by a demon, but because the true spirit of Hanba had awakened and wanted to possess her body, forcibly awakening the strange side of Hanba Daoguo. This made Princess Dongyang lose her mind, and Hanba's true spirit took advantage of the opportunity and completely controlled her body for the next 800 years.

The one who appeared before him now was not the Princess Dongyang of that year, but the real Hanba.

Jiang Li's guess was immediately passed on to Sun Wukong, and it was well-founded, so Sun Wukong also agreed with it.

"Now that you mention it, it's possible." Sun Wukong replied.

Compared with other Dao fruits, Buddha Dao Fruits do have advantages. Because Buddhism is the most adept at using the power of incense and thoughts, it can resist the erosion of the five turbidities and evil world better than other forces, and the true spirit can persist longer.

Like Sun Wukong and Ksitigarbha, these two survived because of this. Especially Ksitigarbha, this one did not have the special characteristics of the four monkeys, but relied on the foundation of Buddhism and the power of incense to survive until more than 200 years ago, and lived another life with the help of the enlightened one.

But this does not mean that none of the other categories of the three-grade Dao fruits will survive.

In this world, there are always some special beings, and they can also get help from others like Ksitigarbha. The more he thought about it, the more Sun Wukong felt that this possibility was great.

If he, the great and mighty Monkey King, could be defeated so easily by the younger generations and even have to deal with them, would he still be able to survive?
Anyway, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!

Therefore, Sun Wukong made a very subjective judgment on the true nature of Hanba.

"Be careful."

On the other side, the Great Celestial Venerable was also secretly communicating with Hanba, "That monkey-head has already doubted our identity."

Just as Hanba showed a little flaw, Sun Wukong's thoughts were also seen by the Great Heavenly Venerable.

Although the monkey is clever, he is not necessarily shrewd. He cannot learn to be cunning, or it may be that his nature is not suitable for such cunning thoughts and he is unwilling to learn.

and······
The Great Heavenly Master might know this monkey very well.

Both parties spoke openly, but secretly were guessing at each other's thoughts, and their wills were also revealed in the conversation.

One party wanted to take the Three Pure Ones' Taoist artifacts, but the other party would not allow it.

Regardless, I'm against you.

Or rather——

"Are there any reinforcements?"

The Great Celestial Venerable thought to himself, and revealed a faint sneer on his face, saying: "Jiang Tianzi's respect for teachers and morality is evident from heaven, and I am also aware of this."

Even if you can hide the things happening in your family, Emperor Jiang, from the world, can you hide them from heaven?
Not to mention the fact that you're a gigolo now, everyone knows everything they need to know.

That is to say, the Great Venerable failed in his attempt to provoke the fire, and was blocked by Jiang Li once. Now most people think that although Emperor Jiang started out as a gigolo, it was more due to luck, and the Gongsun family might not give him much help.

Even Gongsun Yuanxi, also known as Tianxuan, the head of the family, may have done something to control the situation.

It was because of the late emperor's meddling and the emperor's disregard for his bloodline that the Ji family and the Dinghu sect fell.

Little did they know that Emperor Jiang had already relied on his ability to take advantage of others to make the system that was supposed to appear disappear without a trace.

Jiang Li could naturally hear the ridicule from the Great Celestial Lord, but with Jiang Li's thick skin, how could he show any abnormality?
He hasn't even exposed Jiang Li's gigolo status in person, so he's just making a subtle remark. What's the point of that?

Even if he was exposed in front of him, Jiang Li was not like Sun Wukong, a monkey who loved face and would blush when being called "Bimawen".

So Jiang Li said calmly: "Thank you for the compliment. I am just doing my duty."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eavesdropping Monkey King had to say "forever" to his ally.

As for Hanba, she was a little angry because of the burning heat in her body.

Whether it was the real Hanba or the Princess Dongyang, they were both from the lineage of Emperor Huang. Seeing a guy who took advantage of all the descendants of Emperor Huang being so shameless, Hanba felt that he could not control his anger.

Jiang Li had to continue to explain his respect for his teacher in order to buy time for Ye Tathagata's arrival.

Given the difference in the speed of time flow between heaven and the human world, it won’t take long for Karma Tathagata to arrive.

Jiang Li has now let his other self recite the name of "Zhenru" in the human world and connect with Karma Tathagata.

As soon as Karma Tathagata arrives, this great celestial master will be defeated here.

No matter if it was the heavens or something else, since the truth had been revealed, it was no wonder that Emperor Jiang acted decisively.

But before Jiang Li could continue to talk about the harmony between his master and his school, and the kindness of his master and the filial piety of his disciples, a solemn and holy aura had already appeared in the Three Purities Heaven.

Suddenly, a Buddha's light appeared, shining like the sunlight. A white jade image of Buddha was faintly visible inside, hanging above the mountains like the sun at its zenith.

"Mahavairocana!" Sun Wukong showed a stern look, "He has condensed the Dharma image!"

What appeared here at this time was not the true spirit of Vairocana Tathagata, but the Dharma image of Vairocana Tathagata.

This one can be said to be the first second-grade true spirit to awaken and appear in the world. He actually condensed a Dharma image and used it as a carrier of the true spirit.

It is obvious that these two second-grade true spirits of Buddhism have been hunted down by Karma Tathagata. The last time they showed up on their own initiative, they were chased all the way by Karma Tathagata into the depths of the desert. They were unable to spread their faith, collect incense, and condense the Dharma image.

However, the fact is that Vairocana Tathagata has already condensed the Dharmakāya. Although he cannot display the full power of Tathagata now, at least he is not just a spirit like before, like a wandering ghost.

It happened so quickly that as soon as the Dharma image of Vairocana Tathagata appeared, it immediately locked onto the clear light of the distant sky.

He had seen the Three Pure Ones before, so the time it took him to recognize the essence of Pure Light would definitely not be longer than that of the Great One.

Moreover, the appearance of Vairocana Tathagata was beyond Jiang Li's expectations.

Came so fast!
"Buzz!"

The sky was rumbling, clearly the light of Mahavairocana Buddha shining with wisdom, not appearing to be fierce, but at this moment a buzzing sound was making in the sky, showing how anxious Mahavairocana Tathagata was.

Just as Jiang Li had thought before, the reason why he was not happy with things was because the level of things was not high enough. And the Three Pure Ones Taoist instruments were enough to make the Great Sun Tathagata tempted, and even obsessed!
I saw the Vairocana Buddha's light across the sky. The Vairocana Tathagata, who had just appeared, had already crossed the sky and went straight to where the clear light was.

At the same time, the Great Heavenly Venerable also disappeared together with Hanba, and also seized the opportunity to rush towards the Three Pure Ones' Dharma bodies and Taoist instruments.

The Heaven has always been outside the Three Pure Heavens, so the arrival of Vairocana Tathagata could not be hidden from the Heaven, and naturally the Great Heavenly Venerable knew about it.

It can even be said that Vairocana Tathagata is a variable deliberately sent by heaven to muddy the waters.

Otherwise, with Jiang Li's ability to unite heaven and earth and draw on the power of the Three Pure Ones, it would be difficult for the Great Celestial Venerable to accomplish anything!
"go!"

Jiang Li and Sun Wukong were definitely not slow either. Although they were shocked that Vairocana Tathagata had condensed the Dharma image, they also rushed towards the clear light at the first moment.

Originally, there were two parties confronting each other, neither of which could get close to the Qingguang Pillar. Now that a third party appeared, it became difficult to stop them.

When both parties wanted to seize the Three Pure Ones' Taoist artifacts, a three-way confrontation could not occur at all.

Three existences, three energies, as the distance gets closer, they collide with a loud bang!
