Too much fruit

Chapter 1099 Emperor Xi
The capital of gods, the imperial city.

The light of the Haotian Mirror flashed, and Jiang Li and others appeared in the Ziwei Palace one after another.

Jiang Li let out a breath slowly, this crucial battle finally came to an end.

"The Great Lord is dead, the Dragon Palace has been destroyed, but the Yan and Huang Emperors have been resurrected and are now standing against us."

As Jiang Li spoke, he looked at the rest of the people.

Tian Xuan saw this and said, "Wushan is no longer seen overseas. The old subordinates of Tian Mei and other great masters have already withdrawn, but their subordinates, that is, the followers of the Demon God Cult, are difficult to take away. Most of them were killed before, and the remaining ones are insignificant."

"The eldest princess is still commanding the soldiers in the East China Sea. She will be responsible for exterminating the remnants of the Demon God Cult and looking for the trace of Tianmei at the same time." Gongsun Qingyue added.

"That eagle contained the Dao fruit of Tathagata's uncle. It was very fast and I almost caught up with it," Sun Wukong continued. "It finally fled to the North Sea. According to what you said before, it should have gone to the North Pole Sky Pillar."

Then, it was Master of Rain Yuanjun. She held out her hand and handed over the torn scroll. "The Imperial Academy's chief priest, Mo Yiling, has been killed by Taoist Guangcheng. This is his Taoist weapon. Taoist Guangcheng is currently recovering from his injuries at the sect."

Finally, Yin Tulong scratched his face and said, "I won't say much. Anyway, I just remember that I killed all the way from the Yellow Sea to the East China Sea without stopping."

This guy can be said to be Jiang Li's gold medal fighter. He doesn't have to think about anything, just fight.

Everyone told their stories one after another, and when combined, that was the final result.

The Great Master is dead. Although the remaining enemies are all strong, they have lost the troops to confront the Great Zhou. The threat still exists, but it is not enough to stop the expansion of the Great Zhou's territory.

Of course, they could also resort to bullying the weak and killing people everywhere, but considering the virtues of the two emperors and the self-esteem of powerful people like the Queen Mother of the West, they would not do such things that would be beneath their status.

After listening to this, Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then looked towards the entrance of the hall, "Where is the Yellow Emperor?"

Jiang Li had multiple bodies, and was quite clear about the situation of Sakyamuni Tathagata and Queen Mother of the West. After the cause and effect of the Great Venerable disappeared, the two of them withdrew decisively and did not continue to stalemate with Jiang Li.

As for Huangdi, he wanted to ask Daojun and Ye Tathagata who went to intercept him.

The Tathagata, wearing a pitch-black robe, suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall, then entered the hall in a flash, saying, "The Yellow Emperor, with the help of the Medicine Master Tathagata, retreated all the way to the south. The Taoist borrowed the dog from the donor and is now tracking down the two."

For strong men like Huangdi and Medicine Buddha, the Yi Dao and secret methods are unlikely to work, but the materialistic sense of smell may be effective.

So, Xiaotian was borrowed and a pursuit of thousands of miles began.

"South..." Jiang Li lowered his eyes slightly, "It's Tianzhu again. Feng Clan really has many ways to retreat. No wonder they were able to maintain their foundation when Ji Clan and Jiang Clan secretly attacked."

Once they hid in the Tianzhu area, even Jiang Li could not do anything to them, let alone the two tribes who were reluctant to take action openly at that time.

But now, Jiang Li is not really without any way to deal with them.

His lowered eyes fell on the stone slab in his hand. A faint five-colored light flowed under the touch of his palm, emitting an inexplicable aura.

This five-colored stone slab undoubtedly came from the Feng family, and Jiang Li could also be said to be a member of the Feng family.

He was the head of the Jiang clan, the son-in-law of the Ji clan, and an honorary member of the Feng clan. It could be said that he had taken over all three clans. Unfortunately, in the end, the ancestors of these three clans all stood against Jiang Li.

To some extent, Jiang Li really does have the potential to betray his teacher and ancestors.

Jiang Li held the stone slab in one hand and gently brushed it with the other hand. The all-embracing Yuan Qi and the natural aura in the stone slab blended perfectly, and the "Fu Shan Chen" method of "Mountain Tomb" had been incorporated into it by Jiang Li.

This is a method specifically designed to capture and break various skills, formations, and magical instruments. It is also a professional method to use it on stone slabs.

Along with the fusion of Qi, a feeling of warmth emerged, making Jiang Li's injuries seem to improve slightly, and then a faint resonance was produced.

The five-colored stone slab did not record any information, but it allowed Jiang Li to sense the four resonance points in the four directions of heaven and earth.

"This five-colored stone was refined from the furnace of heaven and earth, and the same is true for the four pillars of heaven. Both were created to repair the sky and carry the power of creation of Queen Wa. There is a natural resonance between them." Jiang Li said softly.

In ancient times, Mount Buzhou broke and the sky and the earth turned upside down, so Nuwa refined five-colored stones to repair the sky and cut off the feet of the giant turtle to establish the four poles.

The Demon Refining Pot should have evolved from the Heaven and Earth Furnace at this time. Its original purpose was to collect the giant turtle and then refine it into a pillar of heaven.

Afterwards, Queen Wa used the furnace of heaven and earth to refine five-colored stones to repair the hole in the sky.

The two are of the same origin and are naturally connected.

But for Jiang Li, this weak connection was enough.

When resonance occurred, Jiang Li pressed his palm, countless phantoms flashed in his eyes, and his spiritual sense traced the cause and effect.

At the four poles of heaven and earth, images of pillars reaching to the sky began to appear in Jiang Li's eyes.

But suddenly, golden red blood began to flow from Jiang Li's left eye again, and his pupil split open again.

"It's a ghost that won't go away. Even after it dies, it still leaves me with trouble."

Jiang Li spoke calmly, and the blood flowed back into his left eye as if time was flowing backwards. Even the sword scar in his eye was healed again.

But it never completely disappeared.

The last sword of the Great Celestial Venerable actually still existed in Jiang Li's eyes. He cut the Sun Star with his sword, injuring Jiang Li's left eye, and sealed a space in the shape of a sword mark, or a small world, into it.

This action not only hurt Jiang Li's foundation, but also made the sword remain. This is the reason why Jiang Li could not recover from his injuries.

If you want to recover from your injuries, you must first refine this sword.

Once the interference of the sword marks is gone, Jiang Li will have his own way to recover even from the most serious injuries.

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Li raised his head, met the worried gazes of Tianxuan and others, and said: "Even a living Great Celestial Venerable cannot win, let alone a dead Great Celestial Venerable. As long as there is some time, the injuries will recover."

"Then you should recover from your injuries first," Tianxuan said firmly, "Now you are invincible, you should have a good rest. As for the rest, leave it to us."

"That's right," Gongsun Qingyue also nodded and said, "Even if the second-rank one takes action, there are still Daojun and Ye Tathagata to deal with it. Junior brother, you should heal your wounds first."

Seeing this, Ye Tathagata smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is correct. If you don't make more efforts, the Taoist weapon sent by the donor will be very hot."

Since he got the Amitabha Daoqi, Jiang Tianzi's kindness could never be repaid in his lifetime, and Jiang Li and Ye Tathagata were like-minded, so Ye Tathagata was naturally willing to run around for him. As long as it wasn't like before when two rank masters came out together, Jiang Li didn't need to do anything else himself.

"Rest..."

Jiang Li murmured softly, and suddenly smiled, "It's not impossible."

He turned around, slowly walked onto the imperial platform, put his hands on the dragon throne, turned around and sat down.

As he sat down, his will became one with the earth beneath his feet, and then spread throughout the nine provinces. Abundant red clouds appeared in his perception, and the luck of the fire virtue evolved into countless strange phenomena in another dimension.

The Great Zhou has become the mainstream of the world, and Jiang Li, who rules the Great Zhou, is the protagonist of today's world.

The general trend of heaven and earth, the torrent of humanity, and the vast inspiration all had a center at this moment. The sense of power echoing in his heart made Jiang Li feel omnipotent.

This was the first time Jiang Li sat on the dragon throne since the Great Zhou became the mainstream. This time, he felt different from the past.

After covering the Nine Provinces, his will continued to expand outward, reaching the vast ocean in the east, the Buddhist kingdom in the west, the heavens above, and the underworld below.

The blessing of the great power made Jiang Li's damaged foundation begin to recover, and the sword mark that had always remained in his left eye also showed signs of being refined.

For a moment, Jiang Li really relaxed.

He couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and immersed himself in this new feeling. His will galloped across heaven and earth and reached all directions.

From the perspective of everyone in the hall, a red mist gradually emerged around Jiang Li, highlighting his divine and holy appearance.

"Jiang Tanyue's Dao fruit should be complete soon," Ye Tathagata said softly, "He rules the world, from humans to gods. He is on his way from being a human emperor to becoming a heavenly emperor."

It is not a change in status, but a natural change brought about by being invincible and ruling over the three realms.

This was the case with the Three Sovereigns in ancient times, and it was also the case with Jiang Li, who now possessed the second of the Three Sovereigns' Dao Fruits. Invisibly, he completely matched the path of the Three Sovereigns, and also matched the supreme position of the Sun God.

I believe that as the territory of the Great Zhou expands and the sun moves again and again between day and night, Jiang Li's Tao fruit will continue to evolve and eventually reach perfection in the near future.

After Ye Ruru finished speaking, he nodded slightly towards Jiang Li as a greeting, then turned and left Ziwei Palace.

Upon hearing this, the rest of the people also left one by one. Even Tianxuan, Gongsun Qingyue, and Yu Shi Yuanjun, the three girls, just took a look and left first.

Jiang Li sat on the supreme throne like this, motionless for a long time as if in a nap. His mind was in harmony with the heaven and earth, and every time he breathed in and out, it seemed as if a wind that reverberated across the nine states blew between heaven and earth.

The energy of fire became thicker, as if to cover Jiang Li's figure. A big sun appeared, and the sword marks reflected on it began to become gradually subtler.

Time passed quietly, and the Purple Palace was always bright, with no distinction between day and night. After a long period of refining, the memory left by the Great Celestial Venerable to Jiang Li was already very small, with only a line left...
Jiang Li suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt a slight stinging pain in his left eye and a golden light flashed in his eye. Then he waved his hand and a Tai Chi ball flew out from his sleeve.

The misty and clear air flows with the rotation of Tai Chi. The shadows of Pangu Banner and Qingping Sword flow through the Yin-Yang Eyes with beginning and end, cause and effect. In the center of the Yin-Yang fish, a dragon-shaped curve is emitting an imperceptible brilliance.

Jiang Li looked at the Tai Chi Seal for a long time without saying anything, until one moment, he praised: "Amazing!"

"I have already used the Three Pure Ones' Taoist tools and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to unify the power of the Three Emperors to suppress you, but I still couldn't completely suppress your recovery. Is this the practice of a Heavenly Venerable? It's really unbelievable."

Jiang Li stretched out his hand and pressed his left eye. "If this sword mark had not been left by the Great Celestial Venerable, I really wouldn't have been able to sense that you were slowly recovering. Although it's not obvious, you have never stopped."

It can even be said that if Jiang Li had noticed the abnormality a step later, he would have lost the opportunity to discover it.

This sword mark was left by the Great Celestial Venerable with all his strength, and the Great Celestial Venerable's body, soul, and Dao Fruit had all been taken by Emperor Xi. In fact, the two still retained some connection.

But after Jiang Li refined the sword mark, this connection was severed.

A true Heavenly Master-level being is indeed unfathomable. Even though they have fallen to this point, they are still able to grasp a trace of variables.

If the Great Celestial Lord had not usurped the incense offerings from the Heaven, he would have been defeated the moment the promotion ceremony was completed.

It would have been fine if Emperor Xi had not awakened before, but once he awakened, he would be able to find variables even in the worst situations.

Perhaps, even if Jiang Li had not defeated the Great Celestial Venerable, Emperor Xi could have been reborn again. Even if the Great Celestial Venerable could suppress Emperor Xi's true spirit for a while, he might not be able to suppress him forever. In the end, Emperor Xi might recover to a certain extent and directly suppress the Great Celestial Venerable.

The Three Pure Ones' Taoist instruments were unable to completely suppress Emperor Xi, and the Great Celestial Lord might not be able to do so either.

Between the Tai Chi Yin Yang fish, light circulated, and a tiny but soul-stirring voice rang out, "You can use the Three Pure Ones to check and balance me, so you are quite powerful."

Even though he was discovered, the head of the Three Emperors did not try to cover up his mistake, but gave a straightforward response.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

He gave up the Three Pure Ones' Taoist artifacts not only because he had courage, but also because Jiang Li wanted the Three Pure Ones' Taoist artifacts and Emperor Xi to check and balance each other.

On the surface, it seemed that Jiang Li had lost three first-grade Taoist weapons, but in fact, he preferred to think of it as temporarily throwing away three burdens.

No matter how many methods you, the Three Pure Ones, have, your ultimate goal is only one, which is to let Jiang Li bear the Three Pure Ones' Taoist fruit.

As long as you grasp this point, you won't be afraid of being plotted against.

The Three Pure Ones are the seals of Emperor Xi, and isn’t Emperor Xi also the seal of the Three Pure Ones?

The two are like Tai Chi, interdependent and combined to form an indestructible seal.

Unless the Tai Chi itself is out of balance, even Jiang Li will find it difficult to break the seal. The previous Great Venerable wanted to help Emperor Xi break the seal by touching it, which was undoubtedly a fantasy.

In fact, it was a bait deliberately laid by Jiang Li so that the Great Master would see hope and fight to the death.

And no one has discovered his intention until now, but it was revealed by the newly resurrected Emperor Xi.

However, Jiang Li did not lose his composure because of this. Instead, he added: "Not only that, in the confrontation between His Majesty Emperor Xi and the Three Pure Ones, I can further see the foundations of both parties, which will help me make further progress."

"So, you want to enter the first level by your own strength?"
