Too much fruit

Chapter 1086 Sending a Taoist Fellow to Nirvana

There was already a Great Venerable who deliberately fanned the flames, and the Great Heavenly Venerable also won over Sakyamuni Tathagata, which made the plan of the Sixth Old Man to stab in the back go futile.

The Queen Mother of the West was shocked to find that she had become a minority without realizing it.

But she couldn't understand why Sakyamuni Tathagata wanted to help the Great Heavenly Venerable.

In response to this, Sakyamuni just shook his head slightly and did not answer.

The Great Celestial Venerable laughed loudly and said, "You thought I was going to use Gongsun Qingyue's life to force you into joining the game, but you don't know that what I really want is just to get you out of Shenzhou."

When Jiang Li's mind was focused on the Great Celestial Venerable, he ignored the changes in Shenzhou.

In addition, the chief academician of the Imperial Academy was originally a high-ranking official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had the protection of Heaven, so that he was able to dominate the nine provinces without realizing it.

Of course, this was also due to the fact that the Great Master went to the Heavenly Palace and tied up Jiang Li's other body, preventing him from leaving.

The Great Heavenly Master is not luring you into a trap, but luring the tiger away from the mountain.

His original purpose was to make his own side lose in order to promote the unification of the world by the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it involved the revival of spiritual energy, and with the cooperation of the Great Venerable, an irreconcilable enemy, he ended up completing the promotion ceremony ahead of schedule.

When everyone thought that the promotion ceremony of the Great Celestial Lord would require a great battle, in fact the promotion ceremony was almost completed before the battle began.

Of course, after the promotion ceremony is completed, the Great Lord will turn against the Great Heavenly Lord.

But compared to being intercepted before the promotion ceremony is completed, such a risk is insignificant.

Just as they were talking, three large tripods appeared on the map behind Jiang Li.

Yangzhou, Yongzhou, Qingzhou, the Nine Provinces Ding fell one after another, suppressing the mountains and rivers, leaving only Yuzhou where the Dinghu Sect was located and Jizhou where the Daode Sect was located.

The key geographical veins of these two states are where the two sects are located. It is not easy to bring down the Jiuzhou Ding.

But by this time, the fortune of the Great Zhou was already boiling like a raging fire, and beams of light rose from all over the Nine Provinces and soared into the sky.

"You want the stars to be divided, I will grant you that."

The Great Celestial Venerable shouted loudly, and an aura as heavy as the earth emanated from his body. In the inner world, under the thirty-three heavens, a vast land appeared.

The Heavenly Lord inherited the Taoist tradition of the Great Heavenly Venerable and created the "Yin Fu Jing". He used the Taoist fruit of the Jade Emperor to transform the Yellow Sky, and used the Taoist fruit of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals in the ginseng fruit tree, to respond to the nine earths and coordinate the changes of heaven and earth.

The ambition of the Emperor of Heaven is not only in the sky, but also on the earth.

The Great Celestial Venerable obtained the remains of the Celestial Monarch, and also integrated the methods created by the Celestial Monarch, and the Great Celestial Venerable even had a bigger heart.

The Great Celestial Venerable wants the Four Emperors of Heaven to return to their positions on the List of Gods. He not only wants to be one with the sky, but also to be connected with the earth. He even wants to control the stars in the sky and all the spirits and thunders.

At this moment, a noble and benevolent god appeared in the List of Gods, carrying an aura of benevolence and tolerance.

The Tao fruit of the Earth Emperor, the descendant of the Four Imperial Gods, was surprisingly obtained by the Great Celestial Venerable without the knowledge of others and was incorporated into the List of Gods.

Under the thirty-three heavens, there are nine lands. The Great Celestial Venerable uses the Dao fruit of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji to communicate with the earth, using the earth to respond to the sky, and allowing Shenzhou to communicate with the heaven.

The Jiuzhou Ding has the ability to correspond to the stars. At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable is catalyzing it with the Tao Fruit of the Earth Emperor. In addition, he himself was once the ruler of the Heavenly Court and is proficient in the ways of the universe and space. With the combination of many factors, heaven and earth are communicating and their spirits are connected.

"boom--"

A loud noise came from the darkness, like a waterfall falling from the sky, or like a raging wave.

The spiritual energy that has already emerged in Shenzhou and the five turbidities and evil spirits in the heavens have converged, causing the sky to change color. The balance between clarity and turbidity has faced new challenges. No matter whether it is Jiang Li and Daojun who are sitting in the capital of gods, or the other person in heaven, it is difficult for them to free their hands at this moment.

Previously, Jiang Li could still reverse time in the Heavenly Palace and suppress the incarnation of the Great Lord. But now that heaven and earth are connected, he is completely unable to take care of himself.

Jiang Li and Daojun must suppress this unprecedented upheaval to prevent Shenzhou from suffering from the turbulent waves caused by the confluence of clear and turbid forces.

At this time, the incompleteness of the Jiuzhou Ding is actually a good thing for the Great Heavenly Venerable.

If all the Jiuzhou Cauldrons appeared and suppressed the Jiuzhou mountains and rivers, it would help Jiang Li suppress the waves, or even directly set up the Jiuzhou barrier to calm the storm.

If the Jiuzhou Ding is incomplete, it means that the suppression of the Jiuzhou mountains and rivers is incomplete, and it will require more of Jiang Li's strength and mind.

"Om-"

The space around Jiang Li began to vibrate, and his figure flickered blurryly like a phantom.

This is due to the leakage of power.

The Great Heavenly Venerable's move not only completed his own promotion ceremony, but also raised the fortunes of the Great Zhou and Shenzhou, allowing their spiritual ideas to flow. Naturally, Jiang Li also benefited greatly from it.

"You can also choose to let the clear and turbid merge. In this way, you can destroy my promotion ceremony."

The Great Celestial Lord looked at Jiang Li from afar and sneered, "But if you do this, you will also suffer the backlash."

It was not just the backlash after the Great Zhou's decline, but also the cause and effect after the destruction of Shenzhou. Under the multiple backlashes, Jiang Li not only had to spit out all the profits, but also had his foundation damaged.

If Jiang Li is willing to make such a cruel decision, then the Great Celestial Master will accept it this time and let the promotion ceremony fail.

The worst that could happen is that we can change the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain into a trap.

Jiang Li's foundation was damaged and his strength was reduced, but his side was able to unite as one and work together to eliminate this huge threat.

Afterwards, the Great Celestial Master had plenty of time to continue his ascension ceremony.

Just as Sakyamuni Tathagata said before, back to the time before the Dharma Ending Age, all parties are in a situation of placing their moves and gambling, continuing the game as before.

This is also acceptable to the Great Heavenly Venerable.

But for Jiang Li, it was a dilemma.

Neither advancing nor retreating.

He was determined to prevent the Great Lord's promotion ceremony from being completed, but now he has become the biggest promoter of the promotion ceremony. To destroy the promotion ceremony, you have to hurt yourself first.

Jiang Li is not without the courage to do things that hurt himself and others, but the current situation is that if he hurts himself, someone will come to kill him, and he will be in greater danger.

"You were in a bad situation, but you miraculously turned the situation around. Great Celestial Venerable..."

Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh, "I underestimated you."

He sighed slowly, with a helpless look on his face.

However, when the Great Heavenly Venerable saw this, his expression changed slightly.

It was because there was no hesitation or hesitation in Jiang Li's sigh, and there was no sign of him getting angry or losing his guard.

How else can he break the impasse?

Are you going to send someone to kill the Imperial College Chief Academic Officer?

With the strength of Jiang Li's subordinates, this is entirely possible.

It would be fine if the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer was hiding, but once he shows up, he would basically have no way to escape.

But now, even if we kill the Imperial Academy Chief Academician, we can break this dilemma.

The Jiuzhou Ding had already fallen, and the heaven and the human world had already communicated. Even killing the Imperial Academy Priest would be useless. Even forcibly moving the Jiuzhou Ding away or even destroying it would be useless.

That would make it more difficult for Jiang Li to suppress the confluence of clear and turbid energy.

The Nine Provinces Tripod has now become a helper for Jiang Li. While he was thinking, the Nine Provinces map behind Jiang Li changed again.

"Om——"

The vibration of space was intensifying, and Jiang Li's aura was rising again at this juncture.

At the same time, the Great Heavenly Venerable suddenly discovered that he was infinitely close to the Fuxi Dao Fruit.

His promotion ceremony received another push.

"Why?" The Great Celestial Venerable was not happy but surprised.

"Of course I will fulfill your wish."

Jiang Li's eyes were dark, even the sunlight in his left eye could not cover up the darkness in his eyes, "Great Lord, you want to be promoted, I will help you."

······
······
On the other side, above the Red Land of China.

The wind was howling, the sky was changing color, clouds were surging above the sky, and the clear and turbid air were gathering like a vast ocean, causing huge waves.

The sky and the earth were dark, as if the collapse of the sky in ancient times had reappeared and the end of the world had come again.

"Boom——"

A bolt of lightning was born from the friction between the clear and the turbid, like a sharp sword, striking Dinghu Lake, and its destructive power produced billowing water mist.

Compared with naturally derived thunder, the thunder produced by the collision of clear and turbid is more extreme and more destructive.

"Heaven and earth are communicating, and unprecedented upheavals are about to come."

The Imperial Academy Priest stepped on the surging lake, looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "What do you think?"

The wind, rain, thunder and lightning suddenly changed. A golden dragon appeared in the sky with its wings spread out like a cloud hanging from the sky. The dragon roared, calming the raging waves in the sky and protecting the 800-li Dinghu Lake.

Afterwards, a winged dragon fell from the sky, revealing the figure of Yu Shi Yuan Jun.

Yu Shi Yuanjun, who had previously blocked Tianpeng above the South China Sea, has now arrived at Dinghu.

She landed on the water, her golden eyes staring coldly at the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer. A dragon shadow was looming behind her, and she might strike at any time to kill the man who betrayed the Great Zhou.

However, the Imperial Academy Priest said, "I have not betrayed the Great Zhou."

"What you are doing now is not convincing at all." Yu Shi Yuanjun said coldly.

But having said that, she did not take direct action at this time, and even her murderous intent was hidden and did not erupt.

"What I have always admired is a selfless king, like the majestic heaven and earth, who is fair and just. Therefore, I chose to betray the current emperor because he is not the king I pursue."

The Imperial Academy Priest remained calm and said leisurely, "Emperor Jiang is not a selfless ruler. Taizu... No, we should call him 'Great Heavenly Venerable'. He is even less selfless. He is devoted to the path of Taoism and only seeks the great way. He simply cannot care about the people of this world."

Therefore, the Great Heavenly Venerable is not the king respected by the Imperial Academy Chief Academic Officer.

The fact that he called him "Great Heavenly Venerable" instead of "Great Ancestor of Zhou" itself is an intention, indicating that the Great Heavenly Venerable is a god, not a human being.

However, the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy had previously been working for the Great Heavenly Venerable.

He endured for so long just to pave the way for the Great Heavenly Venerable.

If this isn't what he really thinks, then...
Yu Shi Yuanjun's pupils shrank slightly, and he had already thought of a possibility.

"good."

The Imperial Academy Priest looked at Yushi Yuanjun, as if he could see what she was thinking, and smiled, "Rather than saying that what I have been pursuing is the Son of Heaven, it would be better to say that what I have been pursuing is the supreme and selfless 'Heaven'."

In today's world, there is only one person who can be called "God".

--Heaven!
The Imperial Academy's chief priest has always been pursuing the Heaven. The Emperor is just the carrier of the Heaven's concept.

The emperors of all dynasties could represent Heaven, so the chief priest of the Imperial Academy was loyal to them. Jiang Li could not represent Heaven, so the chief priest of the Imperial Academy secretly became disloyal.

The Great Celestial Master now controls the heavens, but he is not the heavens.

There is only one true heaven from beginning to end.

"The Holy Emperor who led the human race from humble beginnings, he alone will be the greatest hope for the human race."

The Imperial Academy Master of Arts revealed the answer, "In this world, only Emperor Xi can be called the ruler of mankind."

As he spoke, the Imperial Academy Chief Academician raised his sleeves, and two small tripods flew out of his sleeves and were pushed towards Yu Shi Yuan Jun.

Although the tripod is small, it is extremely heavy. Even the 800-li Ding Lake and the towering mountains are not as heavy as this tripod.

The traces of gods, demons, monsters and ghosts, as well as the imprint of the state, imprinted on the tripod further indicate its name.

——Jiuzhou Ding.

The remaining two Jiuzhou Dings were sent out in this way and handed over to Yu Shi Yuanjun by the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer.

"Using these two tripods to suppress the mountains and rivers of Yuzhou and Jizhou, Emperor Jiang will be able to successfully protect the Nine Provinces. If he is interested, he can even set up a Nine Provinces barrier." The chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy said slowly.

But doing so would be somewhat hurtful to the Great Heavenly Venerable.

Although this move can help the Great Celestial Venerable to promote the promotion ceremony, and can even be said to fill the last gap, in fact, even if the two tripods do not return to their positions, the Great Celestial Venerable is not far from completing the promotion ceremony.

Letting the second tripod fall now would only boost Jiang Li's strength and allow him to maintain the balance between clarity and turbidity smoothly.

Yushi Yuanjun used her primordial qi to transform into dragon claws, caught the Yuzhou Ding and Jizhou Ding, and looked at the Imperial Academy's chief priest with indescribable surprise. However, she did not say much, but directly accepted the two tripods.

Seeing this, the Imperial Academy Priest couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, "It seems that I have failed miserably. The Emperor seems to have never trusted me."

Yu Shi Yuanjun did not take action immediately before, but now he directly accepted the tripod. It was obvious that he had been reminded long ago.

So although she was surprised, she was not suddenly shocked.

As for who reminded her, it was of course only Emperor Jiang.

Jiang Li never trusted the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy from the beginning to the end, so the situation in which he would ignore the variable of the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy, which led to the theft in his hometown, did not exist.

In other words, the current three-way division of the Nine Provinces was tacitly approved by Emperor Jiang.

As for which existence the Imperial Academy Chief Academician is truly pursuing, it doesn’t matter.

This is because if Emperor Jiang does not allow it, the Imperial Academy Chief Academic Officer will simply not be able to complete the arrangement.

Yu Shi Yuanjun remained silent, but just floated away with the two tripods.

She also needed to drop off the Yuzhou Ding and send the Jizhou Ding to Daode Sect. Time was running out and there was no time to waste.

As for what will happen to the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer next...
When the steaming water vapor gradually dissipated, the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer slowly turned around.

A figure appeared in his eyes, and two sword lights pierced his body through the air, making him feel cold.

The Yin-Yang swords surrounded the Taoist priest, who stepped on the waves and walked out of the mist.

"Yuxu Guangcheng has come to escort the great priest to nirvana."
