Too much fruit

Chapter 1105

Outside the Divine Capital, on top of Yuxu Peak.

The yin and yang energies flow from the bottom of the peak to the earth, and after circulating through the earth's veins, they flow back again and are received by the Taoist at the top of the peak, circulating endlessly.

Yuxu Peak was originally located in the Kunxu Mountains. It is considered an outsider to the land veins outside the Divine Capital. Although it has taken root here, it still needs more coordination to avoid any hidden dangers.

It just so happened that after Taoist Guangcheng fought with the chief priest of Taixue, although he killed his opponent with the Zhuxian sword, he was also injured. So he used the energy of heaven and earth to heal his wounds while harmonizing the earth veins.

Today was the end of another round of reconciliation. After Taoist Guangcheng slowly took in the air, he turned around and entered Yuxu Temple, where he happened to meet his junior fellow apprentice Guangyuan, another third-grade master of Yuxu Temple.

Taoist Guangyuan seldom goes out because he needs to guard the sect all year round. He himself prefers quietness and often goes into seclusion, so it is difficult to see him in Yuxu Temple.

However, in the past few days, Taoist Guangyuan has appeared frequently.

The reason was that the junior fellow student who was once labeled a traitor finally came back three years later.

Shen Hou was originally considered a traitor, but now that he has returned, he has been vindicated. However, he had previously used the Seven Arrows to attack the current queen, and he has been undercover for many years but has not achieved anything, and has not sent back any news, so he has been worried.

Although Jiang Li had not blamed him before, Shen Hou was still afraid of being held accountable later.

For this reason, Shen Hou imprisoned himself in Yuxu Temple.

As for Yuxu Temple...
It can only be said that after witnessing Shen Hou's several attempts to join different forces, and seeing the deaths of powerful men such as Manjusri, Tianjun, and Dazun one after another, Taoist Guangcheng had no choice but to believe Jiang Li's statement.

This Shen Gongbao Taoist fruit is really detrimental to one's fortune.

During these days, Jiang Li was in seclusion to recuperate, and Taoist Guangcheng was unable to see Jiang Li. It was not easy to ask him how to arrange for Shen Hou, so he arranged for Taoist Guangyuan and himself to take turns to go to the place where Shen Hou imprisoned himself and use the Taiyi Locking Life Formation to suppress Shen Hou's strange luck.

Today it is Taoist Guangyuan's turn to go.

When Taoist Guangyuan saw Guangcheng, he immediately asked, "Brother, when will the emperor come out of seclusion?"

He also knew Jiang Li's specific plan, and understood that Jiang Li repeatedly assigned Shen Hou to join different enemies because he wanted to take advantage of Shen Hou's fate to kill fellow Taoists.

To be honest, he, a third-rank cultivator, is a little intimidated by Lord Shen now. He feels that his cultivation has slowed down these days and his state of mind is a little unstable.

Before, I didn't know how fierce Shen Hou's Dao Fruit was, so I thought he was just unlucky. That was not a big deal. We had been fellow disciples for so many years and I didn't feel hindered. But now that I know, I feel a little uneasy. I don't have the state of mind that a third-grade master should have.

Taoist Guangcheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Guangyuan's appearance, and then said, "He should have come out of retreat. I just saw the Vermillion Bird falling into the Purple Star. The princess who just returned should be meeting the emperor. I will go to see the emperor tomorrow and ask how to arrange for Junior Brother Shenhou."

The emperor is now invincible in the world, and the Great Zhou has gathered the luck of heaven and earth, and its territory is still expanding. I think with the emperor's ability, he should be able to deal with the problems of Lord Shen.

Maybe...it's just a matter of "speaking with the will of heaven".

"That's good."

Taoist Guangyuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt his mood stabilized.

He laughed and said, "I have lost my composure these days. By the way, Senior Brother, now that Confucianism is in trouble because of the Imperial College's chief priest, should we at Yuxu Temple take some action to see if we can seize this opportunity to spread the teachings of Taoism?"

"The chief priest of Moyi knows that what he has done is extremely unacceptable. Except for his trusted disciples such as Xiao Zhi, most people in the Imperial Academy are actually innocent. Confucianism will decline, but it will not be destroyed." Taoist Guangcheng said.

"Brother, what you mean is..." Taoist Guangyuan's eyes moved, "The emperor will keep the Confucianists to check and balance the Mohists and the Xuanmen Taoists like us?"

"That's the mentality of ordinary emperors. Why does the emperor need any checks and balances?"

Taoist Guangcheng shook his head and said, "The emperor is already invincible, so why does he need any extra means? He didn't destroy Confucianism only because Confucianists had made great contributions in rescuing various places before. It's not the emperor who needs to be checked, but us. We need Confucianism not to decline completely and to prevent the rising Mohism from replacing Confucianism. We also need appropriate competitors to prevent our disciples from having some inappropriate thoughts."

Yuxu Temple itself can be regarded as the emperor's sect, and with three third-rank officials in the sect, it can be said to be in a period of strong development.

In the future, maybe we can even compete with the Daode Sect.

In order to prevent his disciples from becoming too arrogant, it is better to set up a few opponents, so as to avoid angering the emperor due to any evil deeds.

Taoist Guangyuan was also a smart man. He understood everything immediately and said, "I will follow your advice, Senior Brother."

The two talked as they walked, and soon they arrived outside an octagonal stone building.

Chains connected the eight corners of the stone building and the ground, and shadows of talismans loomed around the stone building. If you didn't know, you might think there was some demon locked in the stone building.

Taoist Guangcheng stretched out his hand and took back a stream of vital energy from the top of the stone building. Then Taoist Guangyuan sent out his own energy and took over the formation from Guangcheng.

With the sound of shaking chains, the array plate was handed over smoothly, and the people inside were also informed of the handover.

"Brother, when will the emperor come out of seclusion?"

Shen Hou's question immediately came from the stone building.

"He has already come out of seclusion. Senior Brother Guangcheng will go to meet the emperor tomorrow. Junior Brother Shen, don't worry." Taoist Guangyuan replied.

Shen Hou inside cried out, "How can I not be anxious? I have not been able to get the correct information, and I am restless day and night. Moreover, I have gone through fire and water for the sect, and after returning, I was chased and killed by Junior Brother Yin, which is fine, but you still treat me as a monster."

The two Taoists looked at each other and couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment.

"Ahem..." Taoist Guangcheng coughed lightly and said, "Junior brother, I am sorry for wronging you, but don't worry. When we meet the emperor tomorrow, I will ask him to help suppress your bad luck. Then you can come out. And I will promote you to the deputy abbot of this temple. You will also be a strong candidate for the chief of the Jiang family."

After all, he is the leader of a sect, so Taoist Guangcheng still has some ability to make promises.

This promise greatly reduced Shen Hou's resentment.

"Forget it," Shen Hou said reluctantly, "I will stay in this stone building for another day. Let me tell you, although the theory of destiny is based on fate, it is nonsense to want to influence fate. Brother, you are also a master who is proficient in Yi Dao, Beiji Shenshu and Taiyi Shenshu, how come you believe this?"

After all, he had been sealed in the formation for a long time, so Shen Hou couldn't help but say a few more words.

The two Taoists also knew what Shen Hou was thinking, so they just let him speak.

Who would have thought——

"Bam—"

It was like a huge wave crashing against the shore, and a wave of air swept across the sky.

Guangcheng and Guangyuan were both startled, then they rose into the air and looked towards the source of the air wave.

In the divine capital, within the imperial city, silver and red flashed alternately, the moonlight and the fire collided with each other, causing numerous waves of air.

“This is...” Taoist Guangyuan said in astonishment.

"The princess seems to have fought with the head of the Gongsun family." Taoist Guangcheng added. Only those two could cause such a stir in the imperial city.

It’s not that the other three ranks can’t do it, but only a few of them are qualified to do it in the imperial city without being punished by the emperor.

At that moment, the two Taoists had a thought at the same time: "Is there a fire in the emperor's backyard again?"

When this thought flashed through their minds, the two Taoists looked at each other, and then suddenly looked towards the stone building.

Could it be that even the invincible emperor has suffered misfortune?

"..."

Taoist Guangyuan was silent for a moment, stroking his long beard, and said, "I heard that the court has been conquering the sea recently. Junior Brother Shenhou has been overseas for a few years and should be familiar with the overseas situation. Why don't we let Junior Brother go overseas?"

"Good." Taoist Guangcheng said in a deep voice.

For a moment, the two third-rank Taoists couldn't help but marvel at Shen Hou's peculiarity, and couldn't help but sigh that the sect had managed to survive all these years.

The two Taoists' attention was attracted by Shen Hou and the air wave, and they did not notice the faint fluctuations appearing in Yuxu Temple at all.

The illusory glimmer of light fluctuated like water and penetrated into the Yuqing Palace silently.

Inside the solemn hall, statues of immortals and gods stand, some bright, some dim, emitting a faint aura.

This is the place where Yuxu Temple collects Taoist fruits. These stone statues are actually Taoist tools. Jiang Li got the Taoist fruit of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun from here.

Originally, Taoist Guangyuan had always been in charge of Yuqing Palace. However, today he was needed to preside over the Taiyi Life-Locking Formation, so Taoist Guangyuan left Yuqing Palace, and only the formation and restrictions remained.

But those protections can stop others, but cannot stop some strong people.

The faint light flowed directly over the twelve stone statues at the end of the hall and flew to the wall behind.

Faintly, the space fluctuated, light flowed on the walls, and an extremely bright light appeared, converging into a ball. A big star appeared inside, emitting star power, and there was also flashing lightning, which turned into lightning marks.

"Fellow Daoist Nanji, it's time to wake up."

A call was heard in the faint light, and then the faint light expanded. The shadow of an elegant and majestic woman appeared, and she raised her right palm slightly, injecting a ray of vitality into the big star.

"Om-"

In an instant, one could see the star power humming, the lightning gradually becoming more dazzling, the energy of life and death flickering, causing many stone statues around to move strangely.

However, the female shadow simply waved her hand and suppressed all the unusual movements, without even letting the sound spread outside.

"Who is calling me?"

A deep sound rang out from the big star, and lightning converged to form an eye of thunder, which slowly opened.

"Inspiration? There is still such a chance of creation... Is the evil world of the five turbidities finally over?"

The Thunder Eye showed a hint of confusion, and then locked onto the shadow of the woman, "It turned out to be the Queen Mother."

"Fellow Daoist Nanji, the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds are about to end, and the time for your rebirth has come."

The shadow of Queen Mother of the West looked at the Eye of Thunder and explained the situation first, then suddenly changed the subject, "But if you want to be resurrected, it will not be easy. The Jade Purity Sect has already betrayed the Three Pure Ones and is now standing in opposition to the Three Pure Ones, and has surrendered to their enemies."

"What's even more interesting is that the person they submitted to was the one chosen by the Three Pure Ones. That person was supposed to inherit the Dao Fruit of the Three Pure Ones, but now he has chosen to give it up and go against the arrangement of the Three Pure Ones."

When he said the previous sentence, there was still no strange color in the Eye of Thunder, but when he mentioned the Dao Fruit of the Three Pure Ones, lightning flashed, showing the restlessness of the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole.

The Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole actually doesn't care too much about the Jade Purity Taoist tradition.

As long as he, a key figure of the former Yuqing Daoist sect, is here, the Yuqing Daoist sect will be here. It doesn't matter whether the others betray or not. The worst that can happen is to destroy the traitorous Daoist sect and rebuild a new sect.

But the Great Emperor of the South Pole could not help but care about the Taoist fruits of the Three Pure Ones.

He might hate the Three Pure Ones for bringing about the end of the Dharma and causing his own demise, but he will not hate the Three Pure Ones for their fruits of enlightenment.

The Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole would certainly have no objection to the fact that the Three Pure Ones chose someone else to inherit the Dao Fruit instead of himself.

The words of the Queen Mother of the West hit the key point that the Emperor of the South Pole cared about the most.

The advantage of practitioners who want to improve too much... or disadvantages, the South Pole Changsheng Emperor also has this. In a sense, all practitioners are the same kind of people.

As for the Queen Mother of the West, she does not care whether the Three Pure Ones are transcendent or not.

It can even be said that it is better for the Three Pure Ones to transcend, as they have three less mountains hanging over their heads.

The Three Emperors will hate the Three Pure Ones for bringing about the end of the Dharma, and will stop them from transcending at all costs. Jiang Li wants to get rid of the Three Pure Ones, but the Queen Mother of the West will not do that.

Therefore, she simply used the Three Pure Ones Taoist Fruit as bait to attract the attention of the Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole.

This alone is enough to make the Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole and Jiang Li become enemies.

"What is your purpose in telling me this?" The Great Emperor of the South Pole asked in a deep voice.

Although he was tempted by the Three Pure Ones, he knew that the Queen Mother of the West would not be so kind. She came to wake him up on purpose, and there must be a purpose behind it.

Queen Mother of the West did not hesitate and said frankly: "Daoyou Nanji has been asleep for a long time. I am afraid you don't know that the world today is no longer the same as it was in the past. Emperor Jiang Tian is rampant and has the intention of persecuting us who exist before the end of the law. We are almost being pushed to the extreme by him."

"Oh, right, Emperor Jiang Tian was the one chosen by the Three Pure Ones. He was also the one who defeated the Great Heavenly Venerable. The Great Heavenly Venerable had already been defeated by him."

As soon as these words were spoken, thunder flashed.

"Is it so powerful?" The Great Emperor of the South Pole was surprised and doubtful.

Even the Great Lord died at his hands...

You know, although the Great Heavenly Venerable has shared power with several great emperors, he still firmly holds the power of the Heavenly Court and the orthodoxy of the Three Realms.

Such a person actually died at the hands of Jiang Li.

the most important is--

All these old six were resurrected, and some were even dead. How much did he miss in Antarctica?
