Too much fruit

Chapter 1030 The Strongest Dao Fruit, the Strongest Shackles
Above the East China Sea.

A huge Zhulong suddenly appeared in the sky. With his appearance, time flowed backwards. The destroyed islands were all restored, and even some dead demon cultivators were resurrected.

"pity."

The Taoist who destroyed the island shook his head slightly and said, "That's gratifying."

It is a pity that these destroyed islands were easily restored, which is also due to the great advancement of the Great Venerable's supernatural power of the Universe Light.

As long as the Great Master is alive, these seventy-two islands and even the land veins overseas will become a major threat to Shenzhou.

The two biggest drawbacks of the formation are the time it takes to set up the formation and the fact that the formation is not like a cultivator. Once any part of it is broken, it can only be repaired after the battle. The Great Venerable's Universe Light magical power perfectly solves these two drawbacks.

As long as he doesn't die, the formation will not be broken.

As for the gratifying thing, it was naturally that the Great Venerable returned empty-handed.

Thinking of this, Daojun laughed and did not continue to argue with the Great Master. He flicked his sleeves lightly and flew away on a cloud.

The Great Venerable did not try to stop him, but just watched the Taoist leave quietly. On his huge palm like a plain, the universe and galaxy evolved from the Luoshu River Map was still constantly turning.

After a while, the Great Venerable closed his eyes slightly, blocking the light in his eyes, allowing the world to return to its original brightness, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor Jiang was promoted successfully, and the Great Venerable also escaped from the heaven of life. This time, I failed to intercept him."

Be it the timing or the angle, Da Zun found it perfectly, and lived up to the reputation of being the world's number one troublemaker. Unfortunately, his enemies also had special skills.

Not to mention that the Great Heavenly Venerable had a lot of back-up plans, just the fact that Jiang Li's strength had skyrocketed after his promotion meant that the Great Heavenly Venerable was doomed to failure.

This time when Jiang Li was promoted, the increase in his strength was neither scientific nor metaphysical. Even the great master's attainments in the Dao of Yi was unexpected.

Being able to escape unscathed is already considered good. Don’t you see that the Great Heavenly Venerable not only lost the Qingping Sword, but also lost a hand.

"However, he was promoted to the Dao Fruit of Emperor Yan." After the Great Master finished speaking, he added another sentence.

After he finished speaking, a response came from the universe transformed by the Luoshu River Map, "Fortunately, he was promoted to the Yan Emperor Dao Fruit."

It's a simple sentence, but it seems to contain some deep meaning.

The voice was indistinguishable from a man or woman, and even had no characteristics. It was mechanical and straight. After speaking to Jiang Li, it revealed something that was a secret at the moment, "The three Tathagatas of Buddhism have reunited. There will definitely be some action next."

Following the words, the Luoshu and River Map evolved into many scenes, and it seemed that there were shadows of Buddha flashing by.

Unfortunately, those people are all of the second rank. Their own cultivation levels are extremely high, and they were also powerful beings before the end of the Dharma. Even if the Great Venerable has now advanced in the Dao of Yi through the Dao Fruit, he is still unable to calculate the cause and effect of those people.

If we say that now is an era where everyone is a 6-year-old, then before the end of the Dharma, everyone is a master of the Way of I Ching. In that era when the mysteries of heaven were clear and the laws of nature were orderly, masters of the Way of I Ching could predict the future thousands or even tens of thousands of years later.

Without this kind of ability of divination, it would have been impossible to become a top star in that era.

Now we are in the last days of the Dharma, the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds. Although those old guys cannot predict the future, they still cannot be underestimated. The Great Venerable only caught some traces by relying on the Luoshu River Map, and he could not even investigate further.

If you take one step further, you will be noticed by the other party.

However, with the help of the Luoshu River Map, the Great Master still noticed some clues.

"Buddhism seems to be on the rise. It seems that the Tathagata of Buddhism will not remain dormant any longer."

The Great Venerable communicated with the Luoshu River Map in his mind and deduced a possibility, and then said: "But before those two make any move, I may be attacked first."

With Emperor Jiang being promoted, there will definitely be big moves next.

The Great Master understood Jiang Li.

Jiang Li may not have much desire for power, but he has a strong desire for control, and he will never allow anyone to threaten him. Now that he has been promoted and regained the throne of invincibility, it is time to sweep away all enemies.

First of all, there are the great masters who occupy overseas.

Expanding the territory of rule will further increase Jiang Li's power. Whether in heaven or on earth, Jiang Li will take action. Considering the threat from the Great Venerable, Jiang Li will most likely choose to conquer the East China Sea as his first choice.

It would be fine if the Buddha Tathagata made a move first, but if the other two did not make any move in a short period of time, Jiang Li would most likely get rid of the Great Master first.

"I understand." The voice said clearly.

It was difficult to solve the dilemma, but it was also easy. Either he had a fierce battle with Emperor Jiang and stopped him from entering the East China Sea, or he let the two Tathagatas of the Buddhist sect take action first to increase the threat.

In that case, Jiang Li would take the initiative to attack them, and Da Zun could continue to use his strengths.

After he finished speaking, a ray of light slowly faded away in the universe, as if the mysterious existence was cutting off the connection. But before he finished speaking, he reminded him again, "Be careful, Lord Shen. This person's Dao fruit may harm the Lord."

As he spoke, a piece of information flew out from the Luoshu River Map and was received by the Great Master.

Then, the Dazun's face, which had always been indifferent, changed color.

"I am really... convinced by you old foxes."

Before the end of the Dharma, Shen Gongbao's name was not known to the world, but basically everyone who had some experience with him knew about it.

As a result, all of these resurrected old guys knew about the harm that Shen Hou was doing to his master, but none of them told him. Forget about the others, even the Queen Mother of the West, who was theoretically on the same side, didn't tell him a word.

You know, the fruit of the Tao is the cause and effect. Shen Gongbao was burdened with the cause and effect of the near destruction of the Shangqing Taoist tradition, so it is conceivable how bad his fruit of the Tao would be.

For some beings, the threat they pose when they are alive may not be as great as the Tao Fruit they condense after their death.

Perhaps when Shen Gongbao was alive, his title of Plague God was somewhat untrue, but after his death, as the fuse for the destruction of the Shangqing Taoist tradition, his cause and effect condensed into Taoist fruit, which probably confirmed his title of Plague God.

As a master of Yi Dao, even before the old guys revived, Da Zun was the number one in Yi Dao, so he naturally had a deep understanding of the nature of Dao Fruit. Almost as soon as he knew about Shen Gongbao's past, he concluded that there was something wrong with Shen Hou Dao Fruit, and it was a big problem that could affect him.

So the question is, does the Queen Mother of the West know the secret? Does she know that Shen Gongbao's Dao fruit is even more evil than he is?
If you say you don’t know, guess whether you believe it or not.

Anyway, after knowing the inside story, Da Zun was so angry that he almost lost his dignity and burst into swearing.

Even though he was frustrated in his previous attempt to intercept the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Great Heavenly Venerable was not so excited.

The old predecessors before the end of the Dharma have opened the eyes of the old six of the new era today.

But Shen Hou cannot be killed directly.

The only person who can match the divine whip in the world is perhaps Shen Hou. The Great Venerable still needs the divine whip to deal with the Great Venerable's List of Gods, and Shen Hou really cannot be killed.

"The only solution now is to use Shen Hou with caution."

After much thought, the Great Master decided that this was the only way to deal with it.

Or, should we find a downstream party that is hostile to the Great Heavenly Venerable and send Shen Hou over there?
But now the only one who is 100% the mortal enemy of the Great Heavenly Venerable is Jiang Li. It just so happens that Jiang Tianzi now has a very beautiful value and does not need Shen Hou's divine whip. It is more likely that Shen Hou would be killed in the past.

and······
'I suspect he also knows the disadvantages of Shen Hou.'

Now that I think about it, it seems quite abnormal that the traitor Shen Hou has been alive. As we all know, Emperor Jiang is narrow-minded, and those who offend him will not live long unless they are extremely powerful. Even if there are many big bosses who take the blame, Shen Hou seems to have lived a little too long.

Da Zun would rather believe that Jiang Li deliberately indulged this traitor and allowed him to cause harm to his enemies everywhere.

Therefore, the old predecessors before the end of the law were powerful, and there were also masters among the new generation of old six. Compared with the old predecessors such as the Queen Mother of the West, Jiang Li, the old six, definitely used Shen Hou earlier.

"Inhuman."

In the end, after uttering three words, Da Zun made the decision to "use with caution".

······
······
In the divine capital, in the imperial city.

The dazzling sunlight gradually faded, revealing a ruined imperial city.

"Recover as before."

Jiang Li's spiritual sense swept across the imperial city. With a glance, the destroyed palaces, pavilions, flowers, plants and trees were all restored as if time had turned back. In the blink of an eye, all traces of the battle disappeared.

As for the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, although there were casualties, the overall damage was not too serious.

No unauthorized persons are allowed to approach the place where the ginseng fruit tree is located.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, for being promoted to the second rank."

The Taoist priest came over with a whisk in his hand and a faint fairy light, congratulating Jiang Li. This old Taoist priest was not stained by dust, and it seemed that he had not spent much effort to suppress the aftermath.

"It was just a narrow victory."

Jiang Li did not laugh like a villain as he did before in the void, but responded quite humbly, and at the same time put away the Qingping Sword and Pangu Banner without leaving a trace.

But Daojun didn't seem to believe it.

"My fellow Taoist has a brilliant plan, it doesn't seem like a close victory." Taoist said with a smile.

Looking back on it, it was indeed dangerous. If Jiang Li had not been promoted in the end, the Great Celestial Master might have succeeded.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the Jingtianwei map, no one could have thought of it.

Even the Taoist master did not expect that the Great Zhou Taizu, with whom he had interacted in the past, would be the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor.

but--

If you look closely, Jiang Li's response was a little too perfect.

His plan was to seize the initiative, but this plan was overheard by the Great Heavenly Venerable from the very beginning. In fact, the initiative was always in the hands of the Great Heavenly Venerable, and theoretically the same was true for the initiative.

However, in reality, the initiative has always been in Jiang Li's hands.

By changing his way from the underworld, he forced the Great Celestial Venerable to show up. Another Great Venerable took action and reversed time at the critical moment, restoring the clear and turbid transformation, allowing Jiang Li's Dao Fruit to be performed perfectly.

Afterwards, the Jade Emperor's Dao Fruit changed, the Great Celestial Venerable launched a sneak attack, and his cards were revealed one by one, but at the critical moment he was killed by the promoted Jiang Li.

The only uncontrollable thing was that the Great Venerable reversed time, played a trick on the Great Heavenly Venerable, and also helped Jiang Li in disguise.

But if we consider that Jiang Li would later promote the transformation of clarity and turbidity from the Three Purities Heaven and complete the requirement of five thousand years of merit in one fell swoop, we would know that even if the Great Venerable did not muddy the waters, Jiang Li would still be able to promote the transformation of clarity and turbidity and break the Great Venerable's control.

In other words, Jiang Li most likely knew from the beginning that there was something wrong with the Jade Emperor's Dao Fruit.

He plotted loudly in front of Yuhuang Daoguo, just to trick him.

Emperor Jiang might have had doubts about the Jade Emperor's Dao Fruit a long time ago, and he might not have expected that the Jade Emperor's true spirit had escaped eight hundred years ago, but he must have been extremely wary of the Jade Emperor.

Daojun has always had great trust in Emperor Jiang's scheming and intentions.

What is the truth?
Jiang Li smiled at Daojun and did not comment.

What the truth is, perhaps only God knows.

Maybe Jiang Tianzi was indeed suspicious, and he had to make a plan even though there was nothing unusual about the Jade Emperor's Dao Fruit. Or maybe Jiang Tianzi was kind-hearted and had the help of God, so he just happened to break the Great Heavenly Venerable's trick.

Good boys never have bad luck, do they?

Everything is implied.

Daojun finally gave up the idea of ​​digging deeper into the matter, or maybe he had already confirmed Jiang Li's character. In any case, the topic ended there.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what are your plans for the next step?" Daojun asked.

Jiang Li still smiled, with the compassion of the sun, and said: "The transformation of the pure and the turbid is a great merit. The Nine Provinces have benefited and risen because of it, but the overseas areas are still suffering from the five turbidities. How can I bear this. In addition, my Dao fruit also needs to benefit more people and all living beings."

"Both for public and private reasons, we need to revive Lingji overseas."

In short, I want the East China Sea.

After hearing these emotional words, Daojun couldn't help but be moved and said, "Daoyou, there are no outsiders here."

Could it be that Emperor Jiang wants to use these words to impress me, who knows him well?

Or did he lie so much that he even believed it?
"Alas, I think Daojun has a misunderstanding of me."

Seeing that Daojun did not understand his noble character, Emperor Jiang shook his head helplessly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely have a battle with the Great Venerable. However, my enemies will certainly not sit idly by. Next, I would like to ask Daojun to lend a hand and give me a helping hand."

Daojun nodded and said solemnly: "I have no choice but to do this."

After he finished speaking, he paused again and said, "Daoyou, the transformation of the clear and turbid has basically stabilized to this point. But this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent solution. If you want to solve the problem, you have to start from the root."

What is the root cause?
In the Three Pure Ones.

If the source of vitality is not reversed, there is still a possibility of an explosion even if the clear and turbid in the whole world are sorted out.

It is not even necessary to wait until Jiang Li, the key figure, is defeated. As long as someone disturbs the balance of clarity and turbidity within the Three Purities Heaven again, it will be possible.

To solve the problem, a new Three Pure Ones must appear. Or, the Three Pure Ones must be resurrected.

"I understand."

Jiang Li nodded to show that he understood, but did not give a clear answer.

[The Three Pure Ones Dao Fruit can be said to be the strongest Dao Fruit, because the Three Pure Ones are one. As long as Jiang Li accepts any one of them, he can use the power of binding cause and effect to accept the other two step by step. However, the strongest Dao Fruit also means the strongest shackles. ]

Several lines of words quietly appeared in front of Jiang Li's eyes.
