Too much fruit

Chapter 1053 The Great Master and the Dog
In the boundless void, a ray of light that was traveling suddenly stopped, and the light transformed into a huge and dazzling sun disk, inside which was a figure holding a long sword.

"Jiang Tanyue,"

Light and shadow flickered, and a figure with a mixture of Buddha and devil aura appeared beside him, asking, "Are you injured?"

Jiang Li shook his head slowly and replied, "The injury is nothing serious."

In order to cut open the Buddha's Dharma image of Amitabha Buddha and the Twelve Golden Lotuses, he had taken a swipe at the Seven-Colored Divine Light and even used the Qingping Sword to forcibly cut off part of his body.

Even though Jiang Li now possesses many magical powers and is immortal, these two traumas are not so easy to bear.

However, he practiced the Five Innate Elements, and by the time of Tai Shi, he was able to refine the image, quality, and body, leaving only the form, whose essence was between existence and non-existence. Although the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Qingping Sword were both first-grade Taoist weapons, they would not cause too much damage to Jiang Li.

The reason for stopping was not because of injury, but because of other reasons.

Jiang Li looked down at the sword in his hand, only to see that the entirely black sword with scabbard had lost its previous ethereal sword aura and appeared quaint and exquisite. Even the green lotus on the scabbard was no longer visible, and only a mark could be seen on the scabbard.

It now looks like an ordinary ancient sword, but when Jiang Li held the sword, he had a premonition that an unprecedented cause and effect was about to appear in the near future.

"I sense that a turning point that will affect the entire world is about to occur..." Jiang Li said softly.

Upon hearing this, Karma Tathagata showed a hint of surprise and said, "Even if we have reached a state like you and me, where we can sense others through the connection of cause and effect, it is still difficult to have a clear grasp of the future in today's world. Donyue's sense is somewhat unusual."

With Jiang Li's current realm of the Yi Dao and his grasp of cause and effect, if there are no interferences from other factors, theoretically he can at least deduce the changes in the world within a thousand years. Even with the assistance of the Yi Dao treasure, he can continue to deduce at least hundreds of years later.

But in reality, there are too many interfering factors.

Every second-grade artifact is a huge source of interference, and the entry of every first-grade Taoist artifact into the world can cause confusion in cause and effect, including Jiang Li and the first-grade Taoist artifact he possesses.

If there were no first-grade Taoist artifacts and other second-grade artifacts in this world, Jiang Li would be able to achieve near-omniscience, but with these additions, it is hard to say.

In a sense, at Jiang Li's level, it is not too difficult to be nearly omniscient, provided that there are no other beings of the same level or even higher than himself.

Because of their existence and their involvement in the world, all kinds of causes and effects are intertwined, and the future is constantly changing. Let alone being omniscient, it is difficult to even confirm a rough prediction.

Perhaps it is for this reason that, before the Dharma Ending Age, those powerful beings standing at the top would each sit high in the sky or outside the world, not interfering too much directly with the world, and each of them would become a chess player.

But now, everyone has joined the game and is in control of it personally. This makes the situation change rapidly and makes them themselves chess pieces in a sense. Of course, it is impossible to deduce an accurate future.

Jiang Li certainly knew this truth, but his perception should not be wrong.

Seeing Jiang Li's expression, Ye Tathagata also understood what Jiang Li meant. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Donyue's perception may be correct. In recent years, the five turbidities have become increasingly sluggish and will soon reach their lowest point, settling down like the turbid air of the earth. It is precisely because of this that Donyue and Daojun's efforts to transform the turbidity into purity have been so successful. So let's make a bold guess."

"What the layman means is..." Jiang Li also thought of the bold guess made by Ye Tathagata.

I have to say, this is quite bold.

"Perhaps, the Five Turbidities will end in the near future," said the Tathagata in a deep voice, "maybe in a year, or maybe in two years. When the Five Turbidities are completely settled, and the donors transform the pure and turbid to cover the entire heaven and earth, the Five Turbidities will come to an end, and the world will return to the time before the end of the Dharma."

Ending the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds...
Even if Jiang Li could bring the heaven and earth under his rule and transform them into clarity and turbidity, he would not dare to say that he would end the evil world of the five turbidities.

Because this represents the emergence of the new Three Pure Ones, and also represents——

"Will the 'End of Dharma' disappear?" Jiang Li seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

It was previously speculated that the being that brought about the end of the Dharma might have fallen, so the five turbidities and evil energies would become increasingly inert until they fell into a trough.

But to really say that the "Dharma Ending Age" will disappear and the five turbidities and evil times will end is a little hard to believe.

Once all traces of the "End of Dharma" disappear completely, it means that that existence has completely perished.

That's why I say this guess is bold.

After all, he defeated the Three Pure Ones and reversed the existence of the Three Pure Ones' Way.

Even if the Three Pure Ones intended to use him to transcend, being able to do this was enough to show that this person was stronger than the Three Pure Ones. If he was not as strong, why would the Three Pure Ones use him to transcend?

However, even such a powerful "End of Dharma" has left no backup plan and is now about to fall completely, with even the last trace disappearing?
We don't even know where it came from, and its disappearance is beyond comprehension.

Among the old six who are willing to die but still remain inactive and have made various arrangements for backup, this one is so unique and can be said to be a breath of fresh air.

If that is really the case...

Jiang Li's mind was in a whirlwind of thoughts. While he couldn't help but complain, he also felt an inexplicable heaviness.

The trajectory of fate is becoming more and more obvious, as if destiny has already been determined, and Jiang Li’s end on this road of destiny may not be far away.

This huge turning point will definitely have an unprecedented impact on me.

If one wants to explore this turning point, one must start with the Three Pure Ones Taoist instruments.

One is the cause of all results, the origin of the world, and the other is the result of all causes, the end of all things. Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun stand at the beginning and end of cause and effect respectively. If we can master the ways of these two, we may be able to separate the confused cause and effect.

If we include the Lord of Dao and Morality, it may not be impossible that he is omniscient and omnipotent.

'No, it can be achieved. If all beings of the same level are killed, the Three Pure Ones can really be omniscient and omnipotent. The Three Pure Ones clearly did not resurrect, but they were able to accurately make the future develop in the direction they wanted. Perhaps it is because they saw the present countless years before their demise.'

The more I think about it, the more chilling it becomes.

They have clearly fallen, and in order to transcend, even if they could be resurrected, the Three Pure Ones could not be resurrected, but the future is still arranged clearly.

Jiang Li felt terrified just thinking about it. Even the temperature of the sun in the sky could not erase that chill.

Fighting against the Three Pure Ones is fighting against the ghosts that existed in the past.

In a sense, it can be considered a battle of wits and courage with the air.

Moreover, the more you want to fight the Three Pure Ones, the more you need to study the Three Pure Ones' Way, so that you have the capital and confidence. But the more you comprehend the Three Pure Ones' Way, the closer you are to the goal of the Three Pure Ones.

"Well, now it's not just the Dao of Yuanshi that's chasing me, but also Lingbao and Daode." Jiang Li thought to himself.

At this time, Ye Tathagata said: "If the donor is really concerned about this matter, then after the lost person has practiced this Taoist weapon, it may be able to help the donor."

As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly, and a third-grade golden lotus floated on his palm, with a shadow of a Buddha faintly visible in the center of the lotus. The connection between Buddhism and the way of cause and effect is also very deep, and Amitabha Buddha must have relevant cause and effect magical powers. If he could get the help of Karma Tathagata and the third-grade golden lotus, maybe Jiang Li could deduce the future situation in advance.

Although Emperor Jiang’s favor was so great that Ye Tathagata could never repay it in this lifetime, he still wanted to try to repay it.

For this reason, of course, if there is anything we can do to help, please do so.

Besides, helping Jiang Li is also helping himself. The fruit of Amitabha Buddha is not so easy to obtain. When Sakyamuni Tathagata returns to the world, he will definitely find Ye Tathagata.

The reason why Sakyamuni Tathagata had difficulty dealing with Karma Tathagata before was because Karma Tathagata had extremely profound attainments in the ways of Buddhism and the devil, and his achievements in Buddhism were even catching up with Sakyamuni Tathagata, and also because Sakyamuni Tathagata had not recovered.

Now, Sakyamuni Tathagata has obtained the Buddha power of the Pure Land. Even if he has not yet recovered the powerful strength of Tathagata Buddha before the end of the Dharma, I am afraid it is not far away.

"Monks do not tell lies. The confused person feels that it may be a bit difficult for him to face Sakyamuni Buddha now."

Facing Jiang Li's gaze, Ye Tathagata added this sentence.

Jiang Li couldn't help but smile after hearing this and said, "I think it's possible to become a lay Buddhist, not inferior to the Tathagata Buddha."

He actually knew that Ye Tathagata was indicating that he would not part ways with Jiang Li, or even become enemies with him.

I can never repay Emperor Jiang's kindness in my lifetime, but if Emperor Jiang dies, the debt will be settled, right?

Although Karma Tathagata felt that his character and reputation were both good and not as bad as that of the Heavenly Lord, he still had to do what he should do. Some things are better discussed separately.

With Sakyamuni Tathagata around, even if Karma Tathagata really had that idea, he would not be able to put it into action.

Only the combination of reputation and actual interests can create a solid alliance.

"I am looking forward to the day when you can master this lotus platform." Jiang Li laughed.

"Thank you for your kind words."

The two reached a new round of tacit understanding and set out again, heading towards the human world.

······
······
Shenzhou, Dinghu.

The 800-li lake area has long been covered by the divine domain of the earth god. The islands in the lake have also been checked and patrolled by officials at all times.

But even under such strict protection, on a small island in Dinghu Lake, in a small pool connected to the lake, a green shadow slowly rose from under the water.

This is a young man wearing a green robe. His appearance is rather ordinary, but his facial features are regular. And within his ordinariness, there is an indescribable aura that makes people dare not look directly at him.

As soon as he appeared, he lightly raised his right hand, and the virtual shadows of dots and lines formed a star symbol, which then evolved into the starry sky and the universe, forming a small spherical virtual shadow, floating on his palm.

If Jiang Li were here and saw this phantom, he would immediately recognize that it was related to the Luoshu River Map.

And the one who can control the Luoshu River Map...

There shouldn't be another one like him in this world.

The Great Venerable currently has six incarnations that have appeared, and based on what Jiang Li saw in the past, he concluded that the Great Venerable should have differentiated into eight incarnations. One of the remaining two incarnations is probably this person.

The phantom of the universe evolved, the stars moved, and after a while, an indifferent voice that was indistinguishable between male and female was heard from within.

"Have you entered Dinghu?"

"Tianxuan and Yu Shi Yuanjun have already left Dinghu. Although I don't have the strength of my original bodies, entering Dinghu is still a piece of cake." said the incarnation of the Great Lord.

"Although these two have made great achievements in the Dao of Yi, they are still a little behind you. But the other one may not be the same."

The voice was still indifferent, but the warning in the words was still revealed, "He also left a magical power in Dinghu. If it is touched, it will definitely make it feel something."

The supernatural power, of course, refers to Emperor Jiang's [Emperor comes from Zhen].

The last time Hanba tried to take the Xuanyuan Sword, but was counterattacked by Emperor Jiang's magical powers, Emperor Jiang's insidiousness was further recognized.

Who knows what other heavenly constitutions Jiang Li will leave in Dinghu, waiting to be triggered?

"You're worrying too much. Even if the magical power of [Heavenly Law] is so mysterious, it's not easy to sense it."

The Great Incarnation did not show any sign of worry. As he spoke, he pulled out an illusory long river with his other hand. Islands appeared in the river and it quickly approached Qiaoshan Island.

As long as he wanted, he could enter Qiaoshan directly in one step.

However, at this moment, the Great Master's face suddenly froze.

The scene within the long river has reached a location about a hundred miles away from Qiaoshan Island, which is not far from the Xuanyuan Sword's Heaven and Earth Furnace.

The result was that here, the incarnation of the Great Venerable felt vaguely and sensed an invisible rejection.

In the darkness, a voice echoed: "The great master and the dog are not allowed to approach."

Emperor Jiang really deployed his magical powers, and did not hide them, directly covering an area of ​​100 miles around Qiaoshan Island.

This magical power is not very powerful. If the Great Venerable or the dog has the strength of the fourth rank, they can force their way in. But in this case, Jiang Li will definitely feel it.

"The time has not come yet, let's wait for now."

The Great Incarnation looked at the scene in the long river, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he spoke lightly.

The voice in the shadow of the universe may not have seen the expression on the Great Venerable's face, and said after hearing the voice: "Wait for the opportunity, the time for Emperor Xi to be resurrected is not far away. At that time, if Emperor Jiang wants to stop it, you will need to take action to break the magical power seal on the Xuanyuan Sword."

"After Emperor Xi is resurrected, the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds will also end. By then, not only will your expectations come true, but there will also be other things..."

There was something unspoken in the words of that voice, but it was enough for the Great Venerable to take it seriously.

"The ancestor has resurrected..."

The Great Venerable Avatar murmured softly, looking at the huge stone sword that appeared in the long river, "I hope everything will go well."
