Too much fruit

Chapter 1006: Taishang Laojun, Zhu Jiuyin
Jizhou, Shouyang Mountain.

Purple air crossed the sky, stretching for three thousand miles, and brilliant light reached straight into the ninth heaven. It was truly an immortal atmosphere.

The entire Daode Sect was filled with rich spiritual energy, which even turned into mist, lingering among the mountains and forests, as if the surrounding area had turned into a paradise.

This strange phenomenon lasted for a whole hour before it gradually began to dissipate. However, when the purple air dispersed and the sky reappeared, a white jade golden bridge suddenly appeared across the sky and fell directly to the top of Shouyang Mountain, shocking everyone in the Daode Sect.

"Master."

When Taibai Zhenjun and Zhang Daoyi arrived at the top of the mountain at the same time, the golden bridge had disappeared. Daojun stood on the edge of the cliff, raised one hand lightly, and a Tai Chi was slowly rotating on his palm.

The seemingly simple Yin-Yang fish suddenly showed infinite changes when the two men looked at it. It was clearly just the conversion of Yin and Yang, but it made them suddenly enlightened, as if the mysteries of heaven and earth appeared before their eyes.

The sudden change made the two of them stunned at the same time. Even a third-grade strong man like Taibai Zhenjun was affected. Zhang Daoyi had already externalized the yin and yang energy, and turned into a dragon and a tiger, fighting each other, swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy, and his skills increased rapidly.

However, this change only lasted for a moment, and the next moment the two came to their senses, and the Tai Chi seemed plain and unpredictable, with nothing special about it.

If Zhang Daoyi's power had not increased by more than double, and Taibai Zhenjun's sword heart had not also sensed the changes in himself, he might have thought it was an illusion.

“Master, this is…” Zhang Daoyi looked at Taiji without finishing his words, obviously wanting to ask something but not daring to.

In just a moment, one's skills can increase dramatically. If it can assist in long-term cultivation, what will happen?

"It's a chance, or it can be said to be a cause and effect."

The Taoist shook his head calmly, raised his hand, and the Tai Chi changed into a Tai Chi diagram, which covered his body and turned into a Tai Chi Taoist robe. This kind of clothing matched with the Taoist's white beard and hair, made him look like an immortal, and every move he made seemed to be full of natural wisdom.

"Congratulations, Master, on your promotion to the second rank." True Lord Taibai congratulated.

Everyone in Daode Sect guessed that Daojun had made a breakthrough in strength, and even been promoted to the second rank. However, it was not until True Lord Taibai personally observed Daojun's current aura that they were certain that Daojun had been promoted successfully.

It is strange to say that there was really no sign of Daojun's promotion this time. Even the people in Daode Sect didn't know when Daojun had performed the promotion ceremony.

The process of the Taoist Lord containing the Dao Fruit was not like the previous awakened ones’ promotion. There were many strange phenomena, and only after the promotion was successful did the strange phenomena of purple air crossing the sky for three thousand miles and the Tai Chi Golden Bridge falling from the sky appear.

It’s so secretive, no wonder Daojun was able to get promoted.

Compared to him, both the Enlightened One and the Heavenly Sovereign were exposed too early, which resulted in them being blocked and failing at the critical moment.

But to be honest, if there is no one to stop them, the Enlightened Ones and the Heavenly Sovereigns will definitely be promoted to the second rank.

"The most powerful one..."

Thinking of this, Master Taibai could only sigh that age is always more valuable.

Those who can reach the level of the strongest and establish the world's situation are truly more profound than each other. Well...except for the late emperor.

Daojun didn't expect his eldest disciple to think so much. He just waved his hand lightly, threw the diamond cutter out, and put it on the green ox lying not far away as a nose ring, and then said: "Master has now been promoted to the second rank, Taishang Laojun, and has made some progress in the way of alchemy. Disciple, you can tell Danxuzi to go to Wuwei Cave Heaven to pick herbs for Master to refine a furnace of golden elixir."

"Master, do you want to refine the six-turn golden elixir or the nine-turn golden elixir?" asked Taibai Zhenjun.

"The sixth rank golden elixir is not suitable as a gift, so it must be refined to the ninth rank."

Daojun said slowly: "I will go to the capital to meet the emperor in the future, and this can be used as a souvenir."

When Taibai Zhenjun heard about a certain emperor with the surname Jiang, he seemed to have auditory hallucinations and the words "my dear nephew" came into his ears out of nowhere.

"I think it's the emperor who should come to pay homage to Master." Taibai Zhenjun snorted and said.

"Then we have to wait until we get back. Here, I still have something to ask of you. Once we go to the capital, maybe he will owe me a favor." Daojun said with a smile.

He seemed to be understating it, but it made the two disciples pay attention.

Taibai Zhenjun immediately asked, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

"Great Master, you should have been promoted as well."

Daojun said, looking towards the east, "The strongest have dominated the situation for nearly two hundred years, and they have had plenty of time to prepare for promotion. Whether it is you or the Fairy Queen, your preparations are far from enough compared to them."

On the other hand, if even the Fairy Queen and Taibai Zhenjun could touch the threshold of promotion, how could these top six be unprepared?

The reason why he has not been promoted is, firstly, because he is surrounded by the Sixth Old Man, and secondly, because of the true spirit in the second-grade Dao Fruit.

Now that the situation has changed, it is difficult for even the strongest to check and balance each other, and the second-grade Dao Fruit is truly efficacious, the Great Venerable should have a lot of confidence.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Master Taibai could reply, the sky suddenly darkened.

It was clearly sunny in the sky just a moment ago, but now it turned into a long night. There was no light at all, and the vast sky was plunged into darkness.

"Zhulong!" True Lord Taibai immediately called out the name of the Great Master's Dao Fruit.

To see light in darkness, to see day with eyes open and night with eyes closed, this is the magical power of Zhulong.

However, even if the Great Venerable had already completely integrated the Candle Dragon Dao Fruit, his magical powers could not cover the entire world. Daojun had fought with the Great Venerable before, and informed his disciples of the Great Venerable's information, including that the Great Venerable's magical powers covered an area of ​​​​thousands of miles.

But now, it’s the whole world.

Extending from overseas to the Daode Sect, covering Kyushu and even the swamps, deserts and Buddhist kingdoms west of Kunxu Mountain, the entire world fell into a long night at this moment.

"It's not Zhu Long, it's Zhu Jiuyin," Daojun said solemnly, "Zhu Jiuyin who sees day and closes his eyes for night, blows for winter and exhales for summer. He controls the netherworld and his eyes are like the sun and the moon."

"Is he taking the path of differentiation into the second-grade Dao fruit?" True Lord Taibai hit the nail on the head.

Daojun nodded, confirming Master Taibai's guess.

Zhulong and Zhu Jiuyin are just different names, but Daojun separated the two, which obviously reveals some meaning.

That is - the Zhu Jiu Yin Yang Fruit was originally a second-grade one, but the Great Venerable separated it into a third-grade Zhu Long Dao Fruit to accommodate it. Now, the Great Venerable has completed the Zhu Jiu Yin Yang Fruit and promoted it to the second grade.

This approach is not without precedent. For example, the Jiang family split the second-grade Yan Emperor Dao Fruit into two third-grade ones, which not only reduced the difficulty of accommodating the Dao Fruit, but also paved the way for promotion to the second grade.

Even after learning that the original owner's true spirit existed in the second-grade Dao Fruit, True Lord Taibai speculated that this method could also differentiate the true spirit, reducing the difficulty of subduing and devouring the true spirit.

Obviously, there were some experts among Jiang's ancestors who could come up with this method. However, this method was quite unrefined and aimed at destroying the ancestors.

It was just a little embarrassing that even if it was differentiated into a third-grade Dao fruit, no one in the Jiang family could meet the requirements of the Yandi Dao fruit promotion ceremony. Whether this path of differentiation into a second-grade Dao fruit could be successful was actually a question mark.

As a result, Da Zun, a member of the Feng clan, quietly opened up this path.

Similar to Daojun, it was not until the Great Venerable was successfully promoted that he guessed that the Zhu Jiu Yin Yang Fruit was actually of the second grade, not the third grade. The Great Venerable's preliminary work was really done in secret. However, looking at Daojun's appearance, it seemed that he had already known that the Zhu Jiu Yin Yang Fruit was of the second grade.

Master Taibai looked at his master and felt that he was shrouded in a fog that even he, the eldest disciple, could not see through.

The darkness lasted only a cup of tea, and then it turned bright again. The only difference was that another sun appeared at the easternmost point. Even under the sunlight, a body that could reach the sky could be seen faintly at the easternmost point.

It was a dragon shadow.

That is the Great Master!

Daojun looked at the dragon shadow and said, "The Great Venerable has been promoted to the second rank, so there is a possibility that he will make a comeback and come to Shenzhou again. However, if Daoist Jiang can go smoothly on this trip, he should be able to gain the power to fight against the Great Venerable."

If it really doesn't work, the Taoist can lend a helping hand and earn a favor to promote the transformation of the clear and turbid.

"The Dharma Ending Period..."

Daojun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

······

Jiang Li, who was in heaven, was the first to know what happened on earth.

After the transformation of day and night, he was sure that the Great Venerable had successfully been promoted to the second grade. He immediately mobilized his Qi to further condense the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, strengthen the connection, and pull the Pangu Banner.

The Pangu Banner, which had already been faintly moved, finally moved out its clear light and flew towards Jiang Li.

The figure originally under the banner also became gradually clearer as the Pangu Banner left, but at the moment when it became completely clear, it disappeared like a bubble, leaving Jiang Li with only an indifferent and lofty face.

Jiang Li didn't know how to describe the face of this Taoist Three Pure Ones. After much thought, he could only describe it as ancient.

As ancient as the beginning of the universe, as ancient as before all things came into being. Just by looking at his face, Jiang Li actually felt that his understanding of the Tai Shi Dao had reached a higher level.

It is actually inappropriate to describe this person as "face". It is better to say that it is the appearance of Tao.

The original owners of these first-grade Dao fruits have already transcended the understanding of ordinary people. Even someone like Jiang Li cannot truly understand them.

The higher you go, the greater the gap between Dao Fruits. This is true between the third and second rank, and even more so between the second and first rank.

Knowing the power of the second-grade banner, Jiang Li wanted to get the Pangu Banner as soon as possible.

The Pangu Banner floated over slowly, seemingly slow but actually fast, and was finally touched by Jiang Li's fingers.

It was at this moment that Jiang Li sensed something discordant.

'Thought!'

Someone's mind was moved.

A ray of divine light suddenly appeared from the starry sky and numerous divine shadows emerged, as if the gods had descended, and their divine aura directly entangled the sword in the last column of clear light.

After the Great Celestial Venerable Yu Jiangli got the Pangu Banner, he suddenly appeared. The divine figures around him included the Water Palace Star Official, the Fairy Lady of the World, the 24 Gods of the Thunder Department, and the Four Marshals of the Lingxiao Palace...
They were all disciples of Lingbao Tianzun. They were defeated in the Battle of Conferred Gods, were included in the Conferred God List, and became gods in heaven.

And now, the Tao fruits left by these beings are all carried by the List of Conferred Gods, catalyzed by the Great Celestial Venerable, and communicate with the Qingping Sword.

Almost in an instant, the Qingping Sword was activated by the Great Heavenly Venerable. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword that was gradually flying out, and at the same time pressed down on Sun Wukong who was coming with the golden cudgel.

"Go back."

The Great Celestial Venerable gave a deep shout and an infinite aura appeared in his palm. The sky appeared and the golden cudgel struck it but was actually shaken back.

The unparalleled divine light and Taoist energy roared, and even Sun Wukong was knocked flying backwards.

Afterwards, the sky appeared, with one world after another. In the blink of an eye, numerous caves appeared, covering the area around the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Qingping Sword.

'This old six! '

Jiang Li didn't understand that the Great Venerable, the Sixth Old Man, had actually been nearby for a long time, but he just watched Jiang Li take the Pangu Banner and was completely unmoved.

Because Jiang Li can trigger changes in the Three Pure Heavens, if we were to ask who among the people present is most likely to obtain the Three Pure Heavens Taoist weapon, it would undoubtedly be Jiang Li.

Therefore, the Great Celestial Venerable just watched Jiang Li take the Pangu Banner. Only after he confirmed the method of taking it and that the Three Pure Ones had not left any backup plan did he show up and go directly to take the last Taoist weapon.

It was the fluctuation of his mind at the last moment that made Jiang Li notice something. But it was a little too late to notice it now.

The layers of sky expanded the space, as if to materialize the real thirty-three heavens.

Jiang Li felt the opened space and immediately held the Pangu Banner tightly in his hand to prevent the Great Venerable from using any tricks again.

And when he held the Pangu Banner, the Yuan Qi naturally entered his body, and an impulse suddenly came over him.

He seems...

'What do you want to chop?'

Jiang Li immediately understood the meaning of this impulse, and his body began to move.

The huge banner, which was entirely chaotic in color, chopped forward, breaking the sky and separating yin and yang. Its force was so fast that it was unstoppable and could destroy everything in its path.

The sky transformed by the Great Celestial Lord was difficult to break even for Sun Wukong, but it was easily broken by this simple slash.

The layers of the sky collapsed and disintegrated, while the vital energy in Jiang Li's body surged out like a tide.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The thirty-three layers of heaven did not even last a moment, and the momentum of Pangu Banner was still not exhausted, and it was still slashing forward, as if nothing between heaven and earth could stop it from falling.

The figure of the Great Heavenly Venerable reappeared, and a look of surprise appeared in his indifferent eyes.

In his perception, what was before him was not a big banner at all, but a great force of creation. The yin and yang of heaven and earth would be broken open by this blow and opened up into a new world.

At the critical moment, the Great Celestial Venerable waved his arm, and the dark black ancient sword with its sheath blocked the force, and the Pangu Banner and the Qingping Sword collided.

"—"

Silently, everything around turned into chaos, but was opened up by the general trend. A small singularity appeared between the two and then exploded!
