Too much fruit

Chapter 825: Heaven and Man
Lay everything out in the open, take the initiative into your own hands, and even force the other party to take action in advance.

The awakened one wants to take the initiative into his own hands.

"Jiang Tanyue," he said to Jiang Li, "I'm sorry to ask you to hide in the dark for a while and act as a surprise soldier."

It is not possible not to act as a surprise force. After all, Jiang Sikong's greatest achievement as regent was killing Manjusri, a third-rank strongman of the Buddhist Kingdom, and defeating the Buddhist Kingdom.

Although theoretically speaking, the Buddhist country had no good intentions in spreading Buddhism to the East, and Jiang Li's act of repelling the enemy was a just act, but many times, many things are not based on reason, but on stance.

To the people in the Buddhist country, Jiang Li is undoubtedly the enemy of the Buddhist country. The biggest reason why Guanyin and Tan Wuwei rebelled and attacked the enlightened one is that the enlightened one cleansed the family of Manjusri and the Tantric Buddhism, and was also connected with Jiang Li.

In this situation, even if Jiang Li appeared in Lingtai Mountain openly, someone would probably shout "Why is the abbot rebelling?"

It was also for this reason that Jiang Li wanted to sneak into the Buddhist Kingdom. Even though he had clearly arrived at the Wufo Temple before, he still stood on the eaves like a bird and waited until the three people who had come to listen to the Dharma left before he showed up.

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Li had been prepared for this, so he naturally didn't feel wronged. He just shook his head and said, "It is indeed not appropriate for me to show up directly. However, my special force may not be effective. Not to mention that Daojun has discovered me before, let's talk about the Yan Emperor Dao Fruit..."

Jiang Li recounted the situation of his previous fight with Daojun, emphasizing the suppression of himself by [Dao Ruling the World] and the disregard of the Taoist artifact Shennong Ding.

Jiang Li did not hide the secrets he had discovered. As the saying goes, one person's plan is short, two people's plan is long, especially when it comes to people like the Enlightened One who trusts his advisors.

To put it bluntly, the Awakener is an old fox among old foxes. He even plotted against Ji Jiji in the past, causing Ji Jiji to be beaten and damaged. In other words, the Awakener looks like a good person, otherwise Jiang Li would definitely not hesitate to speculate about him with the greatest malice.

“The incomplete magical power of the third-grade [First Ancestor of Humanity] may not be able to stop [The Dao Rules the World]...?”

Upon hearing this, the Awakened One showed a thoughtful look, "In this case, it is not appropriate to let Jiang Tanyue deal with the Dao Lord. Back then, the Confused One thought that the donor Ji had created a magical skill, and could compete with the Dao Lord under the effect of [Dao Ruling the World], but he still lost, and even his body was damaged. Later, the Dao Lord came to the Buddha Kingdom, and caught the flaw of the Confused One during the discussion of the Dao, and defeated the Karma Tathagata. His Dao practice is the most profound among us."

The "we" here naturally refers to the top six teams in the world.

If we put aside various factors such as Dao Fruit and Dao Instruments, and discuss purely in terms of realm, the Dao Lord is indeed the highest person.

"Not even as good as the Great Sage?" Jiang Li looked at Sun Wukong.

"The confused ones do not know the depth of the Great Sage's practice, so it is not convenient for them to judge." The enlightened one smiled when he heard this.

His words really touched the heart of Sun Wukong. Although this monkey was not a proud and arrogant one, he was very competitive and felt very pleased to hear his words.

But he did not take on the task of dealing with Daojun directly. Instead, he snorted and said, "I, Old Sun, guess that you will have a 'but' next."

"The Great Sage is as good as a god," the Enlightened One continued with a smile, "However, the Great Sage is not actually suitable to deal with the Dao Lord. Others carry the Dao Fruit by integrating the Dao Fruit themselves, but the Great Sage's current situation is the opposite, with the Dao Fruit integrating the body, the soul, and the cause and effect. [Dao Li Tian Xia] suppresses the Dao Fruit, and before the Dao Fruit and this body are completely integrated, the Great Sage will probably find it difficult to confront the Dao Lord head-on."

When others face the Taoist Lord, at most their Taoist magical powers will be suppressed. When Sun Wukong faces the Taoist Lord, his consciousness may be suppressed directly. Even if he does not fall unconscious on the spot, his strength will be greatly limited.

The reason is, of course, that for Sun Wukong, the Dao fruit is the real body, not this body or soul. At least at the moment, Sun Wukong's real essence is still in the Dao fruit.

In response, Sun Wukong just snorted again and said, "Wait until I am fully recovered. I will kill all these little brats with one blow of my stick."

The implication is, of course, that it is no longer possible now.

After all, he is a person who has attained Buddhahood. Even though his temperament is now more like the Monkey King, he does not act stubbornly because of unnecessary vanity.

This also proves how difficult the Taoist is.

"This time, it may be possible that the battle from that year will continue."

The Enlightened One did not show any worry, but just smiled and said, "Although the Yan Emperor Dao Fruit may not be able to fight against [Dao Ruling the World], if it can help Donyue ascend, then it can still greatly increase the chances of winning. This item will be given to Donyue."

As the awakened one spoke, he slowly raised his palm, and a bright light flew out from his palm and slowly floated towards Jiang Li.

This was the help from the enlightened one to help Jiang Li advance to the third rank.

As a qualified investor, the Enlightened One certainly knows when to invest. Jiang Li will certainly make a move because of interests and past friendship, but if he is given an appropriate thank you gift, Jiang Li will be even more generous.

In short, adding money brings peace of mind.

Moreover, since he wanted to borrow the magical power of Emperor Yan's Dao Fruit to deal with Dao Jun, he must of course help Jiang Li get promoted, otherwise the premise of the confrontation would not hold.

Jiang Li was well aware of this, which is why he came to the Buddhist Kingdom immediately when he discovered that the situation had changed.

The bright light fell into Jiang Li's hand, and the brilliance dissipated, revealing half of the mirror. The mirror was pure white, almost transparent, and could reflect the colors of all things, which made Jiang Li very familiar.

"A fragment of the Haotian Mirror." He said the name of this object.

Once upon a time, Tianxuan took out the core of the destroyed Xihua Mirror, which was also the fragment of Haotian Mirror, and had it refined by Jiang Li. Jiang Li integrated it into his Niwan Palace, which greatly increased his perception and gave him a mirror space large enough to hold an island.

However, the fragments of the Haotian Mirror at that time were only the size of a fingernail, but the fragments now are as big as half a mirror.

"In ancient times, the emperor of mankind was worshipped by the people because of his power and virtue. Later, the emperor of mankind ascended to become the emperor of heaven because of his strength. If he did not have the power to swallow the universe, how could he be called the emperor of heaven?"

The awakened one said slowly: "The way to advance to the Dao fruit of Emperor Yan is to be respected by both heaven and man, or to be respected by both heaven and man. You should be close to achieving the respect of man, and there are two ways to achieve the respect of heaven. One is to be recognized by heaven. In ancient times, it was to be recognized by the previous emperor."

"As far as the fans know, Emperor Yan succeeded Taihao, so he must have been recognized by Taihao. If the donors follow this method, it will also work, that is, they will get the recognition of the heaven."

"The other is to channel one's own power through the sky, leaving a mark and being respected by the heavens. This Haotian Mirror can help the donor channel his own power through the sky without damage and achieve this method."

The Haotian Mirror is named after the sky and is a treasure of the universe that connects to space. Although it is now broken, half of the mirror is still there, which is enough to help Jiang Li transmit his power completely to places thousands or tens of thousands of miles away.

The thing sent by the awakened one was exactly what Jiang Li needed.

only······

"Does the monk know too much about Jiang's secrets?" Jiang Li asked suspiciously.

It would have been fine if he just knew about the magical powers of Emperor Yan Daoguo, but now he even knew the promotion ceremony by heart, even better than Jiang Li.

At least Jiang Li didn't know that there were two ways to achieve the ceremony, namely, "Heaven and Man Are Respected Together" and "Heaven and Man Are Respected Together".

"I have to thank Manjushri for the gift." The enlightened one smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to the deceased Manjushri.

Jiang Li also understood how completely Wenshu had lost.

Manjusri had unknowingly leaked the secret of Jiang's treasure, which shows that it had always been in the Five Finger Mountain of the Enlightened One and had never jumped out.

The Awakened One is indeed an old fox among old foxes. He has been in seclusion for a hundred years, but the overall situation of the Buddhist kingdom is always under his watch. Whether it is Manjusri, Guanyin, or even Tan Wuwei, nothing can escape the Awakened One's eyes.

Just because he doesn't exercise external power doesn't mean he's unaware of the situation.

Only in this way can we calmly launch the action of cleansing the Buddhist country.

This also gives Jiang Li a better chance of winning the upcoming chaos.

"Then the next step is to be promoted. Before the war, or during the war, successfully be promoted." Jiang Li looked at the Haotian Mirror in his hand. With his state of mind, his eyes showed a bit of eagerness.

This is the opportunity for the awakened one to be promoted, and it is also the opportunity for Jiang Li to be promoted.

'Next, let's see who will win.'

······
······
A faint stream of light shuttled through the sky, flew over a distance of thousands of miles, and finally fell down and landed on a mountain not far from the border of the Buddhist country.

When the two great Bodhisattvas sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform saw the stream of light, they all fixed their gazes and watched as the light condensed into a golden Buddhist decree.

Being able to travel thousands of miles to deliver a book in the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds requires a high level of cultivation, and even an ordinary fourth-grade cultivator may not be able to do it. The Five Turbidities and Evil Air that permeate the world are not vegetarian.

However, compared to sending a letter thousands of miles away, the information inside is more important.

Tan Wuwei's eyes flashed, and his magical powers had automatically peeked into the future, allowing him to see the information in the letter clearly.

"The Enlightened One wants to hold a Dharma Assembly, issue a decree to ban the practice of seduction, and even restrict the practice of incense?"

Tan Wuwei raised his brows and was about to reach out to take the Buddhist edict to explore its source.

However, before she could raise her hand, the future that appeared in her eyes made her expression change slightly.

Even though it hadn't been taken over by anyone yet, the Buddha's decree suddenly dissipated, as if it already knew that Tan Wuwei had seen its contents with his supernatural powers.
