Too much fruit

Chapter 1073 Three Robbers
"Junior brother, junior brother!"

Jiang Li came back to his senses at the increasingly rapid calling.

This was the last time Jiang Li traveled outside. After experiencing the great battle in the East China Sea, Jiang Li and Ye Rulai returned to Yangzhou and were meeting with everyone in the residence of the Prince of Donghai.

Gongsun Qingyue, Princess Ji Lingguang, Yin Tulong and others who were fighting against King Xuanwu and other enemies on the Yellow Sea have also arrived here. The Haotian Mirror also appeared, connecting the South China Sea and Yuzhou, and reflecting the scenes of both sides.

On one side is the South China Sea, with Yu Shi Yuanjun and Guangcheng Taoist.

On the other side, Tianxuan was planning the Kyushu barrier in Yuzhou.

While they were discussing matters just now, Jiang Li suddenly fell into a trance, and even his figure seemed like a phantom, flickering and showing signs of disappearing.

Gongsun Qingyue, who was beside him, naturally noticed the abnormality first and called out immediately.

Jiang Li was undoubtedly the backbone of the alliance. Whether it was Yuxu Temple, Daode Sect, or the Buddhist Kingdom, they were united because of Jiang Li. If something happened to Jiang Li, even if the alliance did not disband, it would definitely not be as united as before.

Fortunately, Jiang Li’s abnormality did not last too long. After Gongsun Qingyue called him a few times, he came back to his senses.

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Li held Gongsun Qingyue's hand, patted it, and reassured her, then said: "It's just that I suddenly realized something, and it involved too much of my mind."

It was no secret that Jiang Li's two bodies were in charge of the Divine Capital and the Three Pure Heavens. It was normal for him to suddenly gain some insights and be distracted by his other two bodies while meditating.

But the abnormality was a little beyond the ordinary, which made people think deeply.

But since Jiang Li said "it's okay", no one asked any more questions.

"Let's continue the topic just now," Jiang Li looked at everyone and said, "I was originally in the upper hand, but I suddenly slowed down my offensive. The Great Celestial Venerable will definitely suspect that I knew about his promotion ceremony. After that, the Great Celestial Venerable will most likely take action. This person has been planning for eight hundred years and will definitely not give up."

Jiang Li did not hide the promotion ceremony of Fuxi Dao Fruit from his people.

First, the Great Celestial Venerable was a cunning and treacherous person. With his scheming mind, he would certainly be suspicious of Jiang Li's behavior. It was almost impossible to trick the Great Celestial Venerable into doing so.

Even if the Great Celestial Lord acted as if he was unaware that the ritual had been leaked, Jiang Li would even suspect whether the Great Celestial Lord was planning something again.

Secondly, Jiang Li did not want to hide it. Leaking it to the Queen Mother of the West, Sakyamuni Tathagata and other Sixth Brothers would actually help in dealing with the Great Celestial Lord.

Before the Dharma Ending Age, they had the Three Pure Ones, the two great Buddhas of Buddhism, and other beings such as Emperor Xi and Emperor Nuwa to suppress them. Now that it is after the Dharma Ending Age, if there are still people suppressing them, wouldn’t it be a waste for them to have experienced the Dharma Ending Age?
If a top-ranked person appears, it must be me. Otherwise, no one can be promoted.

Even if we don't deal with the Great Celestial Master directly, we will definitely be on guard against him.

If the Great Lord wanted to backstab the enemy quietly, he would surely get a lot of surprises.

For these two reasons, Jiang Li would certainly not hide it from his own people.

Tian Xuan looked deeply at Jiang Li through the Haotian Mirror. Without saying much, he continued, "If you want to avoid the battle, the Great Heavenly Venerable will definitely not allow it. He will definitely try to provoke a war between us and the enemy. However, if we are determined to defend, it will not be difficult to avoid a life-and-death battle. When the Jiuzhou barrier is established, we can fight if we want to, and not fight if we don't want to."

Now Jiuzhou is like Jiang Li’s incarnation. All of Jiuzhou’s spiritual power is used by Jiang Li, and the Tai Chi diagram is spread out under the earth.

No matter whether it is the Great Celestial Master or any of the Second Ranks, anyone who dares to fight with Jiang Li in Jiuzhou must be prepared to be beaten or even killed.

In a sense, the Great Zhou is a weakness, but it is also a support.

Within the Great Zhou, Jiang Li was invincible.

Even though he now possesses the magical power of [Standing in the Nine Provinces] and can still benefit from the country's strength outside the Great Zhou, his strength will certainly be stronger if he is on his home soil.

The most important thing is that Jiuzhou is full of spiritual energy, which is fully utilized by Jiang Li, and can make Jiang Li's numerical values ​​even better.

If a first-grade Taoist weapon is used, anyone who comes will be in danger of falling.

Therefore, in the previous battles, the enemy would attack from the sea instead of directly moving to the land through the magical powers of the Great Venerable or the Queen Mother of the West.

If you want to attack the Great Zhou, you need to work from the outside in, destroying or annexing the territory step by step. If you want to directly airdrop, you must have strength that is completely superior to Jiang Li.

Tianxuan’s suggestion is not impossible, provided that the five evil times continue.

"This was possible before, but it's not possible now."

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "You should have noticed the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before. The Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds are about to end. I and Daojun have personally started the revival of spiritual energy, which has made Jiuzhou the center of the new world after the end of the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds. Even if we do nothing, the ascension ceremony of the Great Celestial Venerable will be completed."

"But if the Great Celestial Venerable does nothing, then by the time the promotion ceremony is completed, he will no longer be my enemy, so he can't just sit there and wait."

Jiang Li briefly described the current situation and said that the war would continue.

But from his light words, it seemed that he no longer regarded the Great Celestial Lord as his greatest enemy.

Tianxuan, Yu Shi Yuanjun, and Gongsun Qingyue, as Jiang Li's bedmates, of course they heard what Jiang Li thought of the Great Heavenly Venerable, but since Jiang Li didn't say much, they didn't point it out.

At this time, Ye Tathagata said: "So, the key is to deal with the Great Celestial Venerable. It would be best if the Great Celestial Venerable falls before the promotion ceremony is completed."

Although Ye Tathagata was not Jiang Li's partner, as a demon, he could also hear Jiang Li's fear.

"In that case, I have a solution."

Karma Tathagata fiddled with his prayer beads, and a strange fluctuation quietly appeared, bringing a frightening aura, "The Emperor has the ability to bind cause and effect. Although the Great Celestial Venerable has the ability to reach the sky, he cannot go beyond the Emperor to sever the cause and effect between them. If this seat and the Taoist Lord help the Emperor and trace the cause and effect together, it may not be impossible to find the Great Celestial Venerable."

"Hmm..." Jiang Li pondered after hearing this, "It seems that it is not impossible."

Yidao divination is like looking for someone along the Internet cable, using advanced hacking technology (Yidao) to find the other person's location and destiny, and then further deduce.

The other party can also set up a firewall, or use luck to protect and interfere, or cover up their own location, or simply disconnect the Internet cable (cause and effect).

In today's world, the situation is changing rapidly, and there are countless variables. Even if the strongest person in the Yi Dao comes, it is still impossible to calculate all the accounts. The Great Heavenly Venerable is a second-grade strongman, and he has the heavens by his side. His luck is probably as strong as Jiang Li's, and he can also break the cause and effect, so that even if others have the shocking Yi Dao, it is difficult to calculate him.

However, Jiang Li has the ability to control cause and effect. Even if the Great Venerable wants to sever the cause and effect between him and Jiang Li, it is impossible.

Having a causal relationship is equivalent to having a definite path. As long as you can break through the interference and protection, you may be able to find the Great Heavenly Venerable.

This is similar to divination according to the Yi Dao, but there are differences.

Yidao Zhansu uses advanced hacking techniques to crack the firewall, and the method that Ye Rulai wants to propose is to use the overwhelming hardware advantage to forcibly break through the barrier.

The former is like a thief, stealing information without anyone noticing, while the latter is a robber, directly blowing open the door and forcibly searching for information.

Karma Tathagata has just obtained the Tao fruit of Amitabha Buddha, and his understanding of the law of cause and effect should be further improved. Jiang Li's strength has also improved, and he has further communicated with Pangu Banner and Qingping Sword, plus the hidden Tao Jun.

The three of them joined forces, and with the Dao weapons they held, they could try to be the robber who broke into the house. This move might fail, but there would be no loss if it failed, so why not do it?

"It wouldn't hurt to give it a try."

Speaking of the Taoist Master, the Taoist Master has arrived. The young Taoist walked straight in from outside the hall, bowed to everyone, and looked at Ye Tathagata, "Daoyou, it's really hard for me to keep this a secret."

There was a hint of sharpness in the Taoist's eyes, as if he had seen through Ye Tathagata's disguise and seen his true identity.

These two are old rivals, fighting from more than a hundred years ago to now. I wouldn't say they know each other well, but they are better than others.

It would have been fine if Ye Tathagata had not stood on Jiang Li’s side before, but now that Ye Tathagata and Jiang Li are frequently joining forces, Daojun saw the clues.

Emperor Jiang's personal morality is flawed, but he is really impeccable towards his allies. Even if he is not as good as Emperor Tianjun and others, he is still first-class.

If there was no mystery about the identity of Ye Tathagata, Jiang Li would never have teamed up with Ye Tathagata several times and placed his trust in him. You must know that Ye Tathagata was one of the main forces that caused the death of the Awakener.

The Enlightened One died from the Six Soul Banner, but before that, it was always Karma Tathagata who led the charge.

Actually, Daojun was also the main enemy at that time. For a long period of time, although Daojun stood on the same side as Jiang Li, he was always on guard in his heart to avoid being stabbed by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li is responsible for his allies, but if he doesn't truly regard them as allies, he has to be more cautious.

Most of the time, his "sincerity towards others" means treating dead people.

"What do you mean, Taoist? I am confused." Ye Tathagata slowly moved the rosary beads and did not respond at all.

That is to say, after he was promoted, he needed to fight with the true spirit of Poxun. After solving the problem later, Daojun got on Jiang Li's boat by directly selling "One Qi into Three Purities". Otherwise, he would inevitably suffer the treatment of being blocked by the devil.

Karma Tathagata will remember this grudge.

"Since Daojun is here, let's get started."

Jiang Li tried to smooth things over and at the same time lightly raised his finger. A bright but not blinding light emanated from his hair. His hair fluttered without wind, and each strand seemed to extend infinitely, penetrating into the void, connecting cause and effect. At the same time, the light also penetrated the space and illuminated all directions.

"The wonder of illuminating the ten directions has been fully realized by the Heavenly Son."

When Ye Tathagata saw this scene, he sighed softly, pointed his hand downwards, and a golden lotus flew out from his sleeve and fell to the ground.

The lotus has three levels of bloom, which represent great purity, great freedom, great emptiness, and great nirvana. It seems as if there is infinite light and infinite life in the center.

Karma Tathagata moved, and his black robe turned into white. He moved and landed on the third-grade golden lotus. He sat on the infinite light and infinite life, and with his hands in the preaching seal, he entered into meditation.

'The fruit of Amitabha Buddha's path is here.'

Daojun sensed the supreme Buddha's intention, so how could he not know that Karma Tathagata had obtained the fruit of Amitabha Buddha's Dao? 'Even though he had turned into the devil's way, he was still able to control the lotus platform and comprehend the fruit of Amitabha Buddha's Dao. The devil became a Buddha, and the Buddha became a devil, it's nothing more than this.'

Thinking of this, Daojun sat down cross-legged, and a green cloud of celebration appeared under him, carrying him up.

Three clear lights flew out from the Taoist's forehead and transformed into three lotuses, on which were three figures, old, middle-aged and young, sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed.

To help Jiang Li with divination, one must mainly make use of one's thoughts. Even if only one of the Three Pure Ones came here, he could still exert his thoughts at their full potential.

The Three Pure Ones are in different places, but their thoughts are always one.

The three second-grade masters each displayed their own mysteries, the Buddha's light, the Dao's light, and the brilliance that seemed to be able to generate all things and destroy all things. The three of them reflected each other and turned this small hall into a divine and holy realm.

"Searching the heavens and the earth, burrowing into the depths and into the underworld, there is nothing to hide in the three realms and ten directions."

Jiang Li opened his mouth with the magical power of [The Emperor Comes from Shock], and with every word he uttered, an invisible force penetrated into the void, filling the sky and the earth.

Above the sky, the clouds change color; beneath the nine earths, the springs surge.

"Where is the Jade Emperor?"

Jiang Li uttered the name of the Great Celestial Venerable, and lines of cause and effect suddenly appeared. The thoughts of the three parties descended upon these lines of cause and effect at the same time, tracing back to the source.

Time and space are no longer limitations.

Ever since Jiang Li touched the threshold of the Tao of the Beginning, even the time and space in reality could no longer impose on him. Now his thoughts were roaming around in cause and effect without any restrictions.

With him as the main force, the majestic thoughts directly penetrated layers of space and traced to the location of the Great Celestial Venerable.

"found it."

Behind the head of the white-robed enlightened one, there was a circular light shining, reflecting a heavenly scene.

"It's him."

A clear light flows around the Taoist master, capturing his divinity and immortality.

As for Jiang Li, his gaze had already been cast over there, the two sides were connected through his heavenly eye, and Pangu looked over with his left eye.

······
······
In a fairyland-like space, the Great Celestial Master was sitting in the central palace with his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap.

Suddenly, the Great Celestial Master's eyes widened with anger.

A pair of eyes looked over from a distance, and beneath the sight, lines of cause and effect were emerging and tracing back to the Great Celestial Venerable.

To put it bluntly, this feeling is like stripping someone naked and putting them under the scorching sun to spy on them, as if all their secrets are about to be exposed.

In terms of humiliation, the most severe blow is to cut off the head of the Great Celestial Lord.

"presumptuous!"

The Great Celestial Lord roared angrily, the universe shook, and a huge face appeared above the space, staring into a pupil as big as the sun.

Faced with such humiliation, the Great Heavenly Venerable was extremely furious and was determined to make the other party pay the price.

However, at the same time, a majestic idea followed.

The divine wills of Jiang Li, Ye Tathagata and Daojun crushed the Great Heavenly Venerable.

This is not peeping, but three robbers breaking into your house and stripping you of your secrets.
