Too much fruit

Chapter 1076: On Actions, Not Hearts (Part )

If a sufficient price is not paid, how can those old guys still form an alliance with the Great Heavenly Venerable? How can the Great Venerable temporarily put aside the conflict?
"However, we cannot really force the Great Lord into a corner, because we are still here. If the Great Lord dies, it will be a good thing for us."

Jiang Li's thoughts flashed like lightning. Once his mind was open, he quickly sorted out the changes in the relationship on the Great Heavenly Venerable's side.

He has been immersed in the tide of humanity for so long, not just to digest his insights from spiritual practice.

Human hearts are changeable, and the wisdom of humanity includes not only spiritual enlightenment, but also intrigue and deception.

Given how evil Jiang Li is, if he were to remove the restrictions on his absorption, I'm afraid the dark side of human nature would actively throw itself into the arms of Emperor Jiang.

The change in the relationship between the Great Heavenly Lord and the Great Lord may sound bizarre, but after adding the variable of Emperor Jiang, it seems reasonable.

"After all, I am just too strong." Jiang Li said it very practically, not modestly at all.

If it weren't for the powerful enemy Jiang Li standing in front of them, the Great Heavenly Venerable, Queen Mother of the West, Tathagata, and the Great Venerable, let alone joining forces, would have been lucky if they didn't start by beating the dog's brains out.

It is precisely because the threat posed by Jiang Li is too great and he is still growing and improving that the other side is able to unite.

As for the Great Heavenly Venerable, Jiang Li was already a big threat to him, and the fact that the promotion ceremony had been leaked to both the enemy and us made him anxious.

This time, the Great Celestial Venerable was both furious and shocked.

In the end, the Great Heavenly Venerable did not become furious and helpless, but even took advantage of the situation and pushed the two sides to restart the war.

"This is an opportunity."

Jiang Li looked at the other two and said, "The Great Lord did not lose his mind. He took advantage of the situation and pushed for a war. But many times, people tend to make wrong decisions when they are in a hurry. The Great Lord's move is certainly beneficial to him, but it also gives us the opportunity to kill him."

The Great Celestial Lord wants to push the war forward and push forward the promotion ceremony, but the Queen Mother of the West, Tathagata, and the Great Lord will never allow him to be promoted.

The enemy's discord gave Jiang Li an opportunity.

As long as the Great Heavenly Venerable can be killed before the Fuxi Daoguo promotion ceremony is completed, there will be no need to worry about Fuxi's return.

The Great Heavenly Venerable's move is like trying to grab a chestnut from the fire. It will either result in great success or great failure.

A second-grade being is difficult to kill, but if one encounters a major defeat, even someone as powerful as the Great Celestial Venerable will be in danger of falling.

Of course Jiang Li would seize this opportunity.

The only thing to worry about is the threat of the Seven Arrows Book.

Daojun pondered for a moment and said, "Although the Seven Arrows Book is strange and dangerous, it also has its limits. It requires twenty-one days of worship before it will endanger one's life. The Great Celestial Venerable wants to fish in troubled waters, so he will certainly not curse Empress Gongsun to death himself. Daoist friend Jiang, it's not difficult to solve this problem."

His words were a little off topic, but Jiang Li and Ye Rulai could both understand what he meant.

The Seven Arrows Book is tricky, but it can only serve as an initiator in this battle. It won't be too difficult to solve. Daojun is trying to persuade Jiang Li not to use extreme means.

For example, fighting to the death with the Great Heavenly Venerable and destroying the promotion ceremony by damaging one's own foundation.

You don't need to do too much, just sacrifice the lives of the people to delay or even destroy the promotion ceremony. You don't need to be as cruel as the Heavenly Lord, just do one third of it.

After all, the Great Zhou was a dynasty built on the basis of the human race. If it went against humanity and committed too many bloody killings, then even if it could not prevent the Great Zhou from becoming the mainstream, it could be greatly delayed.

Daojun was afraid that Jiang Li would do this.

In response, Jiang Li just calmly comforted him: "Don't worry, the Great Heavenly Venerable is not strong enough to force me to this point."

Jiang Li has never been a soft-hearted person. If it is really necessary, he is also determined to cut off his own arm. Even if it means damaging his own foundation, it is better than the Great Heavenly Venerable being promoted to the first rank.

But from the current perspective, the Great Heavenly Venerable will not force Jiang Li to this point.

If Jiang Li promised that he would not do so, it would make Daojun worried. But if he said that it had not come to that, Daojun would feel relieved.

Upon hearing this, Daojun bowed to Jiang Li and said, "As long as the emperor lives up to his principles, I will always stand on his side."

"If no one in the world will let me down, why should I let down the world?" Jiang Li said with a laugh.

For a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious, which was much better than the situation where the enemy had their own ulterior motives.

Although Jiang Li may not really have the love to protect the people, as long as he continues to do so, what does it matter if he doesn't have that intention?

It is just like this when we judge by deeds rather than intentions.

After that, the Taoist said, "I will not bother you any more. Karma Tathagata, I am itching to show off my skills. How about playing a game of chess with me? Let me see how capable Karma Tathagata is of an enlightened being."

Ye Tathagata did not refuse, he flicked his rosary beads and said with a faint smile: "It is what I wish for."

These two were smart people. After making a plan, they immediately found an excuse to leave, allowing Jiang to leave and be with his wife.

Jiang Li responded with a smile and sent the two away.

When Jiang Li was the only one left in the hall, he slowly put away his smile and his face returned to calm, even a little indifferent.

"The Great Celestial Venerable is not strong enough to force me to this point, but the others may not be."

Jiang Li said softly: "I will never be able to become a great and selfless person like the Three Emperors, so please don't force me."

In the blink of an eye, it has been several years since I was promoted to the sixth rank.

At that time, in a dream, Jiang Li let go of his obsession with his past life and chose to integrate into this life. But when it comes to feelings, Jiang Li has always only cared about a few people.

He is a selfish person. The best he can do is to take care of himself when he is poor and help the world when he is rich.

He is now a successful person, but he may become a person who only cares about himself in the future.

"The Great Celestial Venerable is not an insurmountable hurdle. What I really have to face is the End of Dharma... and the Three Sovereigns."

Jiang Li's eyes were dim, like two black holes; even the sunlight in his left eye was completely extinguished.

As he continued to reverse the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Secret and comprehend the origin of the Three Pure Ones, he already had a vague feeling.

After Emperor Xi returns, the probability of him becoming his enemy may be beyond expectations.

Jiang Li knew about the promotion ceremony of Fuxi Daoguo, and someone on the other side also leaked the promotion ceremony, and Jiang Li was basically certain that this person was the Great Venerable.

Although both Emperor Yan and the Great Master knew the ways to conduct the promotion ceremony, and it was not surprising that both knew the ceremony, Jiang Li still connected the two.

Because they have the same purpose.

Jiang Li did not doubt it on the surface, but in fact he had already begun to think about how to deal with it.

Being prepared has always been his principle.
