Too much fruit

Chapter 862: Flowers Blooming in an Instant
The King of Shu is a hero after all. Although he was severely injured by Jiang Li when he was promoted, which damaged his foundation, after submitting to the Heavenly Emperor and with his help, he still has the basic combat power of the third rank.

If the future Heavenly Sovereign can support him in unifying the Great Zhou, the King of Shu may not be able to improve his strength with the magical powers of Dao Fruit like the Emperor.

Unfortunately, this is just the future, just a possibility.

The future is the future, and the present is the present. Now, the King of Shu is dead.

While we were talking here, life and death over there had already been decided. Combined with what Daojun said, it really felt like the dead were gone, and no one could escape death.

The starlight danced, and the starry world descended from the sky. Then, there was a sudden sense of illusion. The world that was originally connected to the stars in the sky was suddenly severed, and even the world itself was like a bubble, about to disappear.

"The Tao governs the world..."

A whisper was heard from the dissipating Dharma Realm, and a graceful figure walked out of it. She was tall and ethereal, but she was holding a half-dead body in her hands, which formed a sharp contrast with her temperament.

"Senior brother."

Tianxuan slowly lowered the altitude, threw the half body in his hand over, and said with a smile: "Your people."

The corpse only had the upper body, and its face was hideous, but one could still see some remaining majesty and grandeur. It was the body of the King of Shu.

When the corpse was flying towards the Heavenly Monarch, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then under the invisible force, it slowly dissipated and turned into ashes.

"It's not mine, it's just a corpse," Tianjun said indifferently, "Since it's a corpse, dust to dust, earth to earth, don't force it to stay in this world."

The corpse turned into ashes, and there was no trace of the Dao fruit inside. It was thought that it had already been taken away by Tianxuan.

If King Yu's Dao Fruit was still there, with the Heavenly Monarch's means and the current world, it might not be impossible to make Dao Fruit have a new owner. Among the kings of the Ji clan, there must be someone willing to pay the price and be promoted to the third rank.

The death of a King of Shu does not necessarily mean that there will be another King of Shu.

Tian Xuan looked at the Shu King's corpse turning into ashes and sighed softly, "Brother, you really made me sad. Could it be that I have hidden a killing move in the Shu King's corpse? Or does Brother dislike this corpse and is afraid of dirtying his hands?"

"Junior sister is still so sharp-tongued," Tianjun heard the words, but was not moved at all. He just said calmly, "Since Junior sister was defeated that year, she has hidden her sharpness. I haven't seen Junior sister speak like this for many years."

Be it a test or a provocation, no matter what Tianxuan plans to do, this sentence can serve as the best counterattack.

——You were defeated by me back then.

Just this one meaning is enough.

"Pfft-"

A certain ghost-faced man couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then met Tianxuan's grim gaze.

"Things are different now. Brother, you have also suffered losses at the hands of my disciples many times."

Tianxuan glanced at the Great Master coldly, but did not lose his composure. He just replied slowly and landed beside Jiang Li.

At the same time, Tianxuan's thoughts were also transmitted to Jiang Li's mind through induction, "No trace of the person in the dark was found."

In addition to dealing with the King of Shu, Tianxuan also secretly searched for Tianjun's collaborator. Unfortunately, the other party was hiding very deeply, and even Tianxuan could not find any clues.

Jiang Li thought so and considered the current situation.

Daojun's [Dao Ruling the World] was simply a hooligan, which greatly reduced the combat power of his own side, which originally had an advantage. Especially Sun Wukong, his foundation was still on the Dao fruit, and the Dao fruit was restricted, which meant that even if he had a high realm, if he lost the power that served as the foundation, it would be nothing but a dream.

Although he called Da Zun out, Jiang Li didn't really regard this good brother as his own.

When it comes to dealing with the Heavenly Lord, Jiang Li and Da Zun are like brothers working together. If it were someone else, it would just be a fake brotherhood.

The Great Venerable has cooperated with Karma Tathagata, and now the image of the ghost-faced man is the Fourth King of the Fire House Buddha Hell.

If a fight really breaks out, there is a 50% chance that the good brother will just sit back and a 50% chance that he will attack the Heavenly Monarch. If Jiang Li can cause trouble for the Heavenly Monarch, then perhaps the probability of the Great Venerable attacking the Heavenly Monarch will increase.

He pondered the possibility in his mind, but his heart was not disturbed by it. At the same time, he released his spiritual sense to secretly observe the other enemies.

The various parties met and seemed to have stopped fighting, but in fact they were secretly observing the enemy with their spiritual perception. If everyone's spiritual perception was materialized at this time, then a huge net would appear here, covering everyone.

There are even some old men hiding in the dark, observing this place with their spiritual sense.

However, they can only observe with their spiritual sense at most, and it is probably impossible for them to enter. [Dao Li Tian Xia] has been released, and I think few people are willing to enter and enjoy this kind of rogue magical power.

Without the magical power of Daoguo, the struggle will be more fierce, especially for some people whose Taoism cannot keep up with their level.

"I thought I could shake Daoist Jiang's state of mind, but I didn't expect that Daoist Jiang would remain unshakable even in such a situation."

The Taoist looked at Jiang Li on the ox's back, clapped his hands and said, "Daoyou, aren't you afraid that the person behind Princess Dongyang will endanger the promotion of the enlightened one?" When he mentioned that Hanba had gone astray in the past, it gave everyone present something to think about.

Daojun was a person who lived eight hundred years ago?

Hanba has gone astray and is now being controlled by someone. Are these two things related?

Such a simple conversation actually contains some puzzles that can make people ponder over and over again. This may be the power of the riddle teller.

The purpose is to use these riddles to distract people.

But from now on, it seems that these words have no effect on Jiang Li.

"Stopped Daojun alone, it is already a blessing from heaven, can I stop all the enemies of the awakened one?"

Jiang Li said with a meaningful smile, "I think we should still have more faith in the Enlightened Ones."

He was just here to help, even if he wanted to protect the Buddhist kingdom that belonged to Jiang Li, he couldn't really risk his life for the enlightened one. No matter how much the enlightened one believed in Jiang Li, he couldn't just close his eyes and fight against the Tathagata, leaving the rest to Jiang Li.

Similarly, if Jiang Li could stop Daojun, he would have done his best. If the Enlightened knew about it, they would be amazed at how well their investment was. If they still failed in the end, it would not be Jiang Li's fault.

Therefore, Jiang Li’s target now is only one person, and the rest will be left to the awakened one.

All the cards that the awakened one can play openly have now been played, such as Jiang Li and Sun Wukong, but what about in secret?

As Jiang Li spoke, he waved his hands behind his back. When Sun Wukong saw this, he couldn't help but glare, but in the end he snorted lightly, rode on a auspicious cloud, and retreated.

If he continues to stay here, he will be nothing but a jerk. If he leaves the range of Daojun's magical powers, he will be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the Fighting Buddha.

So even though he was unwilling, Sun Wukong had no choice but to retreat outside the Buddha's land of enlightenment.

Before leaving, Sun Wukong looked at the Taoist riding the cow, thinking that he would come back to get his revenge after his Taoist fruit completely integrated this body and soul.

"I am deeply honored that you are so serious."

Daojun saw this and did not stop him. He just laughed and said, still looking calm and unhurried, "There is still time. It is not impossible for me to have another discussion with you, fellow Taoist."

As he spoke, the Taoist stretched out his hand and lightly lifted his Taoist crown. Yin and Yang energy appeared and disappeared, and the clear and turbid energy circulated. The inspiration turned into golden flowers. In the blink of an eye, thousands of flowers blossomed, and pearls from necklaces and garlands appeared in an endless stream. Outside, auspicious clouds appeared, and golden light surrounded his body.

Such a wonderful scene is not the manifestation of supernatural powers, but the result of a special method.

[When the Tao rules the world, ghosts are no longer gods] Gangsters may be gangsters, but there is one thing that is relatively fair, that is, this magical power does not distinguish between friends and enemies, and anyone who enters the range will have their Taoist magical power suppressed, including the Taoist himself.

In other words, this is the domineering nature of Laozi's Dao Fruit, even his own Dao Fruit is equally suppressed.

Although Daojun may not have other Dao fruits...

Jiang Li had heard from Master Yuanjun that Daojun might have ascended to heaven in one step, and directly carried the third-grade Dao fruit with a foundation comparable to the fourth-grade. If this news is true, then Daojun only has one Dao fruit.

"The flowers bloom instantly!"

Taoist Guangcheng, who had also come close, fixed his eyes on the area and said solemnly, "Daoyou, this is one of the thirty-six Tiangang techniques of the Taoist school before the end of the law - the moment when the flower blooms, which is a unique skill for self-defense."

As he spoke, Taoist Guangcheng looked towards the Taoist Master, his sight fell on the scene surrounded by auspicious clouds, blooming golden light, and pearly necklaces, and he sighed softly.

"The method of flowers blooming in an instant is also passed down in my Yuxu Temple, but all the disciples of the past generations have only been able to practice this method to the point of entry. If you want to be like Daojun and see the auspicious clouds appear and the flowers bloom in an instant, no one can reach that level."

The simplest standard - skill - is a big problem in the world after the Dharma Ending Age.

Secondly, it is the realm, that is, the level of Taoism.

The system of cultivation based on Daoguo is to cultivate the real by using the false, but most people practice the false as the real, so their progress is slow. Moreover, the higher the realm, the more they can feel the decline of this evil world, and their mind will also experience long-term tests, and the probability of going astray will gradually increase.

The combination of many factors has resulted in a situation where the fruit of the Tao is more important and the realm is secondary.

The people who can improve both the Dao Fruit and the realm at the same time and achieve the ultimate are these third-grade strongest people.

As for Daojun, even among the strongest, his realm is also the top. This one relies on Taoism to suppress the enemy.

"Daoyou, please." The Taoist priest sat on the back of the green ox and extended his hand to invite him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li exhaled slowly, and the black and white colors circulated around his body, transforming into Tai Chi. The five turbidities and evil air rolled in and were continuously refined into vital energy and transformed into a field.

On that day, he defeated the Three Pure Ones Yuanshen of Daojun, and now he was facing the real body, and it felt that they were incomparable. However, now Jiang Li has been promoted to the third rank, even if the power of Daoguo is limited, he may not be unable to fight.
