Too much fruit

Chapter 1034: Refreshable Troops
"Great Lord?"

When Jiang Li whispered the name, he was basically certain in his heart that the Medicine Buddha's Dao Fruit was given by the Great Heavenly Venerable.

Only this person could have seized the fruit of Medicine Buddha eight hundred years ago and given it to Sakyamuni Buddha at the critical moment not long ago.

One has to admit that the Great Heavenly Venerable’s preparations are rich and that Buddhism has a profound foundation.

One is that many preparations had been made eight hundred years ago, and the other is that during the last days of the Dharma, at that critical moment, they were able to prepare a foundation for a comeback.

The four second-grade fruits of the path, namely, Sakyamuni Tathagata, Mahavairocana Tathagata, Dipamkara Tathagata, and Medicine Master Tathagata, are all in the Buddha's kingdom, which can only mean that these four Tathagatas entered Nirvana in the same place. They even made arrangements to ensure that the fruits of the path would not be dispersed.

Only in this way can we avoid being affected by the great catastrophe that will occur at the end of the Dharma period, when the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart.

Unfortunately, both the Great Celestial Venerable and the Buddhist sect encountered unexpected problems in their preparations. One was that a rare figure in ancient and modern times, such as the Enlightened One, appeared in their own sect, and the other...
Maybe it's fate.

First he encountered the monkey who had caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and then he was defeated by Jiang Li, who was taking care of his nephew Daoguo.

It is hard to say that there is no causal factor involved.

"The confused ones have already condensed the Dharma image of Dipankara to control the Dao fruit of Dipankara Tathagata. If those people use their own Dao fruit to sense the Dao fruit of Amitabha Buddha, the confused ones will also notice it." Karma Tathagata continued on the other side.

Even the spiritual fruit of Dipamkara Buddha was controlled by him?
The true spirits in these Buddhist fruits of Tao are in much better condition than those in other fruits of Tao. It is not easy to suppress the fruits of Tao, and it is even more difficult to control them.

At least, Jiang Li couldn't control it for the time being. His numerical beauty was good at destruction and suppression, but it was not enough for the mind and true spirit.

Inwardly, Jiang Li slightly marveled at the spiritual achievements of the Tathagata, and replied, "Do you want me to join you in seizing the fruit of Amitabha Buddha?"

"That's indeed the idea, but those two must have expected that donors would come to help, so they will probably wait for a suitable opportunity." Ye Ru said.

As for the right time, it would naturally be when the imperial court went to sea and Jiang Li and the Great Master fought again.

Now that Emperor Jiang controls the sun and is in a winning position, he will certainly expand outward, which can be seen by all parties. The decisive battle between him and the Great Lord will come sooner or later.

In addition, the Great Heavenly Master will also have a hand in it.

"But this also means that the initiative is now in our hands." Jiang Li said with a smile.

Now that Emperor Jiang is the strongest, naturally he can beat anyone he wants.

"It seems that the donor has already made a plan." Karma Tathagata also laughed.

"It's not really a plan, it's just an idea."

······
······
When Jiang Li returned to the ginseng fruit tree, he had already finished his conversation with Ye Tathagata.

At this time, Gongsun Qingyue and Tianxuan, the plastic master and apprentice, have not yet finished their fist-fighting heart-to-heart.

"Junior brother, junior brother! Help me!"

Gongsun Qingyue's urgent cry echoed in his heart, and then the power of the sun surged towards that direction.

In front of the ginseng fruit tree, the stars are lined up to form a Dharma Realm that merges into the space. The stars inside are moving, and the vital energy is surging, forming a huge formation that continuously bombards the three suns trapped in the formation.

However, with the transmission of Jiang Li's power, the three suns also reversed their decline, releasing the true yang fire and igniting the starry sky.

In the end, the senior sister still couldn't beat Tianxuan, so she could only secretly ask Jiang Li for help, trying to impress the master with their "filial piety".

However······

Jiang Li glanced at the star map that appeared above the ginseng fruit tree and sighed, "Ginger is still wise with age."

That star map is exactly the Jingtianwei map.

The Sixth Master, the Great Tianzun, had already made arrangements for fighting in the Imperial City that year, and the Jingtianwei Map was his countermeasure.

In the previous war, the Great Celestial Venerable directly unsealed the royal cave heaven and untied the connection between the Jingtianwei map and the Shanhesheji map, using the former to block the Taoist Master for a period of time.

Unfortunately, the Jingtianwei map was eventually suppressed by the sun, and the Shanhesheji map also fell into Jiang Li's hands. Speaking of which, Jiang Li had to thank the Great Heavenly Venerable for allowing the two treasures to be used.

Now the Map of Mountains, Rivers and States has been temporarily put away by Jiang Li, and the Map of Jingtianwei has been temporarily left to Tianxuan by Jiang Li.

The Jingtianwei map contains the Dao fruit of the Purple Star Emperor, who is the master of all stars and the son of Dou Mu Yuanjun. This Dao tool should be able to help Tianxuan interpret the Dao fruit and comprehend the Dao of the stars. Therefore, it will be given to Tianxuan for the time being.

As a result, after Tianxuan secretly used his innate Qi to cleanse himself, the first person he dealt with was his own disciple.

Although her strength level was obviously higher than Gongsun Qingyue's, she still made such a backup plan to prevent herself from being taken advantage of by Gongsun Qingyue.

Now the Jingtianwei map has only been sacrificed, and it has not been used yet. After all, Tianxuan still has to save face. When she uses the Taoist weapon, Gongsun Qingyue will know that she is wrong.

I can only say that, senior sister is still a little too young to fight with the old monster.

Shaking his head, Jiang Li knew that the fistfight between the master and disciple would not end for the time being.

He sighed softly, returned to sit under the ginseng fruit tree, and separated himself into another body and went to the Ziwei Palace.

······
······
Ziwei Palace. Lights flickered, and Jiang Li's figure appeared on the throne. The originally heavy atmosphere suddenly dissipated.

"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Huian, the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer, Yin Tulong, as well as the elders of the Ji and Jiang clans, all bowed to the figure on the throne at the same time.

Such a big commotion in the imperial city could be said to have caused unrest in the government and the country. However, before they could arrive, the destroyed imperial city was restored, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth became more and more vigorous.

This made everyone feel a little relieved, but they were still not completely at ease until they saw Jiang Li.

Until now, Jiang Li appeared, and his energy filled the heaven and earth, like a big sun...
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your promotion to the second rank."

The chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy was the first to realize Jiang Li's level of strength, and he also made contact with the retrograde sun.

Zhu Huian was a little slow, but then he was also overjoyed, "Congratulations to my emperor on his promotion. May my emperor live forever and shine forever."

Being promoted to the second rank is not just a leap in strength, but for the emperor, it may also mean the end of his life span. As a loyal minister, how could Zhu Huian not be happy when he heard the news?

The rest of the people were also surprised and delighted when they heard this.

As for the feeling of regret, it cannot be revealed at this time.

If the emperor unlocked the limit of his life span, then there might only be one sun in the sky of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Showing regret at this time would be like seeking death.

"What Mr. Zhu said is a bit exaggerated. Even the heaven and earth will eventually decay and fall. How can I live forever?"

Jiang Li laughed and said, "At most, I can live a little longer than before. That's good. It allows me to fight for the Great Zhou for another 500 years."

As he spoke, Emperor Jiang revealed a sigh. He loved this dynasty deeply.

There's no way, who doesn't love their own dynasty?

After everyone had congratulated him again, Jiang Li gently made a gesture of repression, causing the hall to quiet down again, and then said, "Mr. Zhu, how many soldiers do we still have available?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was still immersed in joy suddenly woke up from their surprise.

Asking about the number of soldiers, is this... another war about to begin?

"Your Majesty," the Imperial Academy's chief priest spoke before Zhu Huian, "Our dynasty has gone through many wars, and three states were sacrificed by the bandits. I'm afraid we don't have many soldiers left."

After several years of continuous wars, every battle had the participation of the third rank. Even though the Great Zhou had a vast territory, it was in urgent need of troops. After all, a vast territory also required a lot of troops to guard it, and ordinary soldiers were difficult to be used. Only cultivators with Dao Fruit could play a role in the next war.

After Zhu Huian and other Imperial College priests finished speaking, they also reported: "Thanks to the majesty of our emperor, all the kings are obedient, and there are no thieves in the country. Now, after many wars, our dynasty has finally begun to recover slowly. Now, our dynasty has 300,000 heavenly soldiers and more than one million ordinary soldiers. Although the soldiers who have not received Dao Fruit are inferior in cultivation, they can also participate in the war by relying on the advantages of the magic weapon because they have joined the Mo Sect and refined the war magic weapon revolving gun for the court."

First of all, if the kings are obedient, then the military force here must undoubtedly be added to that of the kings.

But even if the kings are included, there are only 300,000 heavenly soldiers...

"It's less." Jiang Li said.

Three hundred thousand sounded like a lot, and the previous battle with the Heavenly Monarch did not involve three hundred thousand troops. But if one wanted to compare with the Great Lord, it was still not enough.

Because Jiang Li’s troops cannot be refreshed, but the Great Lord’s can.

The Great Venerable's military strength does not even need to wait until a certain point in time to refresh, but can be refreshed anytime and anywhere, which is even more exaggerated than the people in the bitter realm who refresh at zero o'clock.

Previously, the Great Master used the magical power of the Universe's Light to reverse time and revive the monsters that died at the hands of the Taoist Master. When the war comes, the Great Master can use the same trick again and make his subordinates immortal soldiers.

The cosmic light magical power is in an absolute superior position to any existence weaker than itself, whether it is the enemy or one's own side.

Even if a master massacres the enemy, the Great Venerable can completely reverse time and revive them.

In addition, if a battle is fought with the Great Master, the troops of both sides will not be deployed on the front battlefield, but will conduct offense and defense in various places.

In the front battlefield, once the sun's rays set, no matter how many enemies and friends there are, they will all die, and they will be completely useless. Therefore, the Great Venerable will use his forces to invade Shenzhou and destroy Jiang Li's rule.

If a war breaks out, it will be soldier against soldier, general against general, and king against king.

It's not impossible to fight without enough troops, after all, there is the invincible Emperor Jiang, but in the end, there will definitely be heavy losses in troops. I'm afraid that the little vitality I just recovered through the spiritual revival will have to be lost again.

The Great Zhou has fought too many wars in recent years.

Thinking of this, Jiang Kai said, "Inform all states, especially coastal areas, to be on guard against invasions by overseas demon cultivators."

Since we don't have enough troops, we should focus on defense and not attack Da Zun for now.

"Let's attack the vast desert first, Master Zhenru."

Jiang Li said in a low voice.
