Too much fruit

Chapter 1028: Obtaining the Qingping Sword

When the sword light was pushed to its extreme, nothingness appeared in front of his eyes, no longer as brilliant as before.

Everything in perception, including perception itself, was wiped out by the sword light, so that in the eyes of others, it was nothingness.

However, this doesn't seem to work for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li immediately reversed his innate abilities and followed the way of Tai Shi. His acquired perception abilities completely disappeared, even his sense of time and space were no longer there. Instead, he was replaced by a more subtle perception ability.

He could clearly sense the sword lights running across the sky. Wherever they passed, they refined the earth, water, wind and fire and overturned the yin and yang.

And Jiang Li’s response was——

"open!"

No matter what kind of sword power you use, I will use this pure numerical value to fight back against you.

The power turned into a torrent and poured into the Pangu Banner. A blade light that split the sky and the earth slashed into the void.

"His-"

There seemed to be a sound like paper breaking in the void, and the piece of nothingness was cut open, revealing a dark void, and the Pangu Banner fell heavily in the center of the green lotus.

"boom!"

The void served as the medium, transmitting the movement that shook the universe. The blooming green lotus closed up layer by layer, collapsed heavily, and was beaten back to its original shape under this blow.

A sword light flew out with a clang, and a clear sword was faintly visible inside. Then, an extremely violent chaos erupted like the rising tide, surging and shaking for three thousand miles. Half of the two suns were submerged by the tide, steaming up waves like the sun bathing in the East China Sea.

'It's tricky...'

The void fluctuated, as if an invisible giant was moving quickly away from the expanding tide. With a final glance back, he caught a glimpse of the sun that remained motionless in the raging tide, and such a thought flashed through his mind.

The attack from the Qingping Sword failed to kill Jiang Li. With the Pangu Banner and the constant support of the Sun Star, Jiang Li was even able to suppress the Qingping Sword.

Fortunately, this opened up a way to survive.

The Great Heavenly Venerable was also courageous. In order to save the heavens and himself, he resolutely gave up the Qingping Sword.

Compared to the Qingping Sword, the Fuxi Dao Fruit is more suitable for me.

However······

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

As soon as the words transmitted by divine thought reached his ears, a huge hexagram had already surrounded the Great Celestial Venerable.

In the void, a huge candle dragon suddenly appeared, and as he thought about it, sixty-four hexagrams appeared.

It’s the Great Master!
The Great Venerable was in the underworld before, intending to capture the Great Celestial Venerable and obtain the Fuxi Dao Fruit. However, the Great Celestial Venerable still had the biggest trump card hidden. He concealed his true identity and used the Great Venerable in reverse, allowing the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit to be obtained by surprise.

Afterwards, he used the Pangu Banner to cut through the formation outside the underworld, freed himself from the trap, and became one with the Jade Emperor's Dao Fruit.

Then only Dazun and Jiang Li were left in the underworld.

Judging from the results, Jiang Li was promoted and had the ability to fight against the Great Venerable, but there was no more great battle in the underworld. Later, a big sun rose from the underworld, and the two sides trapped the Great Venerable.

Obviously, when the Great Venerable saw that the situation was not good, he immediately used the magical power of Cosmic Light to temporarily avoid the attack.

And then, here we are.

The sixty-four hexagrams locked the void again, dragon shadows were swimming around, and eight red dragons could be seen circling outside the hexagrams at the same time, with pairs of dragon pupils as big as the sun and the moon staring at the sky inside.

The magical power of cosmic light and the ability to transform into different forms.

"The universe is six voids, and the four seasons flow."

See it as day, sleep as night, blowing as winter, exhaling as summer, and breathing as wind. This is Zhulong, this is Zhu Jiuyin.

The huge dragon body was cruising, and with the magical power of Zhu Jiuyin and the Yi Dao, he evolved the four seasons in the void. The four seasons rotated, the formation became natural, and time passed by like a flash.

The changes of spring and autumn and nature's changes, each round of circulation will take away life and vitality, and this is the cycle of heaven and earth, which is difficult to resist.

It is not a brutal manipulation of time, but an imitation of heaven and earth, purely natural. It is intended to both exploit the injured Great Celestial Lord and to trap him.

The Great Venerable is indeed an expert at taking advantage of troubled waters. He had previously avoided the newly promoted Jiang Li, and now he is taking the opportunity to capture the Great Venerable.

However, the Great Celestial Master is not so easy to control.

"Arrogant, do you think everyone can humiliate me?"

A deep sound came from the sky, like a thunderstorm, showing its anger.

The reason why the Great Celestial Venerable was defeated by Jiang Li was not because his realm was inferior to others or his Taoism was not profound, but because of the simple and crude numerical difference.

Although you, the Great Venerable, have achieved the complete body of the Candle Dragon and have mastered the Demon Refining Pot, with your ability, can you also make me feel the beauty of that number?
At that time, the thirty-three heavens and the nine underworlds appeared at the same time, and the stars formed a white tiger, roaring at all times.

The sacred beast White Tiger corresponds to the stars above and the four directions below and is the embodiment of the four seasons of golden autumn. The whistling golden wind is the austerity of autumn, which breaks the balance of the four seasons and causes flaws in the formation.

Then, the vast sky emerged, and the way of heaven was vast and all-encompassing.

In the absence of interference from the magical power of [Emperor's Shock], the Great Celestial Venerable was finally able to display his ultimate attainment in the way of the universe. The vast sky suddenly rushed out from the flaw and rampaged across the thirty-three heavens.

"Want to leave? But it's not that easy?"

The Candle Dragon turned its palm towards the vast sky, causing the long river of time to collide with the Thirty-three Heavens with a loud bang. The power of time was forcibly changed, and it wanted to invade the Thirty-three Heavens.

At the same time, three more dragon shadows swam backwards, stirring up the tides and trying to block the sun.

The long river shook the thirty-three heavens. The head-on collision caused a majestic figure to emerge in the sky. The Great Celestial Venerable reappeared his supreme Dharma body and restrained the river of time, which should have been invisible, with one palm.

On the Great Venerable's side, the Luoshu River Map continued to evolve in his palm, showing the scene of the universe and the stars. The Great Venerable's other palm moved the space, flowing with time, and turned into a ray of light like a water blade.

The Luoshu and Hetu represent the way of the universe respectively. In the past, the Great Venerable has always been known for his supernatural power of cosmic light, and rarely displayed the law of space. Now that he has been promoted to the second grade, he has finally made progress in the way of the universe and can flow with the cosmic light.

The light of the water blade touched the thirty-three heavens and penetrated easily. The light flowed and collided with the brilliant divine light.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the long river of blade light shattered, but water light could still be seen flowing between the thirty-three days, and blade marks were faintly visible.

After the brief fight, both sides were injured, but the main one was the loss of an arm. The seriously injured Great Heavenly Venerable was in even greater danger.

and--

"Back off."

The sun was patrolling the sky, and the two sun discs in the tide merged into one, knocking away the three dragon shadows with an unstoppable force. The extreme sun flames were so blazing that the incarnation of the Great Venerable was burning with just a touch.

Jiang Li knew that the Great Venerable was good at taking advantage of troubled waters. But he still followed the Great Venerable's wishes and did not try to stop him.

There is no other reason for this except faith.

Even if the Great Venerable wanted to stir up trouble and help the Great Heavenly Venerable, Jiang Li would make him fail miserably in the same way.

After being promoted to the second rank and embracing the sun of all the heavens, Emperor Jiang is now so inflated.

At the moment, the Great Venerable was intercepting the Great Celestial Venerable, which was exactly what Jiang Li wanted. The Great Sun was patrolling the sky, with a majestic momentum and brilliant sun flames, rushing straight towards the Great Celestial Venerable and the Great Venerable. Wherever it passed, everything turned to ashes, and nothing could stop it.

Seeing that Great Tianzun and Great Zun were about to face Jiang Li at the same time, a ray of immortal light suddenly penetrated into the void and fell directly on Great Tianzun.

"Ok?"

The Great Venerable's eyes were as bright as the sun and the moon, illuminating the reality of the immortal light, "The law of time and space?"

The Great Celestial Venerable suddenly changed his body shape, and the mysterious and yellow aura suddenly appeared, "The Dao is empty and the universe is vast."

"Om-"

The dark yellow color was like blood, and it shook violently outward, forming a vast cloud stream that merged with the immortal light. A force that seemed to be able to collapse the universe and even stir up time surged up, forcibly bursting out countless blade lights.

"Seeing clearly in the dark."

The great master closed his eyes slightly, and the world suddenly darkened.

The sun behind suddenly burst out with endless light and heat.

Light and darkness are intertwined, the fluctuations of time and space are shaking violently, and the intersection of several forces stirs up endless turbid colors. The void that should have been close to nothingness seems to be torn apart at this moment.

"boom!"

It was as if the universe exploded, with an endless torrent pushing outward. There was no light or darkness, only chaos.

At this moment, it was like the time before the creation of the world. There was no time and everything was chaos.

Until a long time later, when the waves of chaos expanded to the extreme—

"boom!"

A loud roar was heard, the chaos disappeared, and a clear and turbid scene appeared.

A big sun appeared in the dark tide, lighting up the void.

A figure emerged in the sun, holding a giant banner in one hand and a ray of light like autumn water in the other. Silk-like rays of light extended upward along his arm, eroding his body, and were slowly suppressed downward by the unparalleled yang power.

"Pity."

Jiang Li's left eye was a fiery golden red, with a sun burning in it, and a white light was faintly visible between his eyebrows, illuminating the dark void clearly, "After all, I still couldn't keep the Great Celestial Venerable."

The Great Heavenly Venerable was no longer in my perception, and there was no trace of the Great Venerable either.

At the last moment, the Great Heavenly Venerable was still taken away by the fairy light, while the Great Heavenly Venerable used Zhulong's [Seeing Bright in Darkness] magical power to collide with the sunlight.

Although this magical power failed to obscure the sun's brilliance, it also created an opportunity for the Great Master to escape.

The only gain from this great battle is...

Jiang Li looked down at the sword light in his hand. Golden flames emerged from his arm, forcing the sword energy back. The sword light gradually faded, revealing the sword body inside that was as smooth as autumn water.

Qingping sword.

This first-grade Taoist weapon that Jiang Li had missed has returned to Jiang Li's hands.

Jiang Li used his spiritual power to pull out a dark black scabbard from the void, put the Qingping Sword into it, and restrained the sword energy.

At this point, two of the Three Pure Ones' Taoist weapons were in Jiang Li's hands. If the Taoist weapons of his allies were counted, it meant that all the Three Pure Ones' Taoist weapons were on Jiang Li's side.

Daojun wants to use the Taiji diagram to stabilize the earth veins. As the hub of the transformation of the pure and the turbid, Jiang Li can also comprehend the Taiji diagram. In a sense, the Three Pure Ones can also be studied by him.

As for use...
Even if the Tai Chi diagram was given to Jiang Li, it would be difficult for Jiang Li to use it. Just using the Pangu Banner for a long time could drain Jiang Li's energy, and the Qingping Sword would also cost him his life.

Even if there are three bodies, I am afraid they are not willing to pay the price of using the Three Pure Ones instruments simultaneously.

There is actually not much difference between the Tai Chi diagram in Jiang Li's hand and not in Jiang Li's hand.

"The situation finally fell into my hands."

Jiang Li looked at the Pangu Banner and Qingping Sword in his hands, and suddenly showed infinite heroism, "Hahahahahaha..."

[At this moment, Jiang Li smiled like a villain. ]

The corresponding description is presented truthfully in the causal set.

······
······
A ray of fairy light spanned hundreds of thousands of miles and fell directly on a fairy mountain overseas.

The immortal light faded, revealing the embarrassed figure of the Great Celestial Venerable.

His right arm was broken and has not recovered yet. Rays of clear sword energy appeared at the wound, preventing the injury from healing. A faint light could be seen flowing on his body, and every time it floated, people felt a sense of time passing, causing the great master's aura to show a slight decline.

"It's rare to see you in such a state of disarray, Great Lord."

The immortal light gathered and turned into a mirror-like object. An elegant and majestic figure was vaguely revealed inside. "How does it feel to lose to a junior? If I hadn't rescued you, you would have become a stepping stone for the junior now."

“If it were you, you wouldn’t be much better than me,” the Great Celestial Venerable glanced at the figure with a hint of coldness, “I didn’t expect that you would actually recover… Yes, the Fairy Queen helped my descendant refine a furnace of immortality medicine, and it seems that the immortality medicine given to the Fairy Queen was used on you.”

At the beginning, the late emperor wanted to escape the limit of his lifespan, and also because of the deliberate guidance of the Lord of Heaven, he cooperated with the Queen of Immortality to refine a furnace of elixir of immortality using ginseng fruit as the material and the Shennong Ding as the tool.

Although judging from the result, the late emperor's efforts were in vain, the Immortal Queen benefited greatly from it.

Not only did he complete part of the promotion ceremony, but he also obtained some elixirs of immortality.

But in the end, these elixirs of immortality were used on another being.

"Your descendants..." The elegant figure smiled gently, "The Great Celestial Venerable has a far-reaching plan. So, is the Great Zhou Dynasty's founder really you?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Celestial Venerable was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It is me."

"It is you indeed. Everyone knows that Buddhism is good at using incense and that all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas practice the way of incense. However, few people know that before the end of the Dharma, the one who possessed the most incense in the world was actually you, the Great Celestial Venerable."

The figure said calmly with a tone that was not expected, "Those thieves in the Buddhist sect can use incense to preserve their true spirits, and you, the Great Heavenly Venerable, can do the same. Although after the end of the law, your faith has gradually faded, the foundation left by the past can still allow you to persist longer than us. So, you have awakened and reincarnated eight hundred years ago, right?"

“He offered sacrifice as the Great Zhou’s founder and became one with the heavens. Later, he split the Fuxi Dao Fruit. The Emperor’s Dao Fruit only appeared during the reign of the second generation of the Great Zhou emperor. That was shortly after the death of the Great Zhou’s founder Ji Daoyang. The Great Heavenly Venerable really had a far-reaching plan, but it’s a pity…”

"It's a pity that I failed, isn't it?" The Great Celestial Venerable said calmly, "Then what do you want to get from a loser like me, Queen Mother?"
