Too much fruit

Chapter 874: The Real and the Illusory, the Demon Sword Canon

"Humph! You're playing dirty tricks on me, Old Sun."

Sun Wukong smashed the Dharmakāya's head with one stick. The golden cudgel stirred up the earth, water, wind and fire, shattering every strand of energy and every thought that made up the Dharmakāya.

"There is no Dao fruit, just remote control, ugh."

Sun Wukong pouted and gave up searching for the Great Sun Tathagata Dao Fruit. Then, he stretched his muscles and bones, feeling more fulfilled than ever before.

"It's been a long time since I last felt this way."

The crisp crackling sound rang from the spine to every limb. Sun Wukong felt the unity of soul and body, with a comfortable look on his face.

But in the next moment, he turned his gaze to the six-path wheel again, looking at the six manifestations of the Dharma, his fiery eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "I, Old Sun, never thought that you would choose to betray the Great Sun Tathagata and help the Enlightened One."

"If we don't share the same ideals, we won't work together. That's all."

The six Dharma Masters spoke at the same time, in a calm tone, and said slowly and steadily: "Buddha, it shouldn't be like this."

"It sounds similar to what the Awakened One thinks," Sun Wukong said, his eyes gleaming with gold. "Have you really been suppressed for nearly two hundred years, and have you been constantly annihilated?"

With similar ideas, they seem to be a group of people.

And if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has really been suppressed for many years and his true spirit has been destroyed, will he help the enlightened one?

Although Buddhism talks about compassion, cause and effect is also a part of Buddhism. Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is indeed known for his compassion in saving all hells, but he is not a fool who only talks about forgiveness.

If there is a cause and effect relationship between the two, then even if he is not on the same path as Vairocana Tathagata, he should not help the enlightened one.

"You are in the same group." said Sun Wukong.

It seems that only this reason can explain why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva jumps back and forth.

If that's the case, wouldn't Ksitigarbha have awakened long ago?

"Let's talk about this later," Ksitigarbha said calmly, "Great Sage, after I help you merge the Dao Fruit, you will no longer be constrained by [Dao Ruling the World]. Now is the time for you to show your abilities."

The Tao fruit is completely integrated, the soul and the flesh are united. Even if [Tao rules the world] wants to suppress it, it can only suppress the Tao fruit magical power. It won't be like before, when it directly transformed from the Monkey King.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately looked up into the air and saw strange signs reappearing in the Buddha's land. The original confrontation between Buddha and Demon had turned into a conflict between Taoism and Demon.

Daojun faced off against Ye Tathagata.

"It is difficult for this poor monk to leave the underworld, so I have to trouble the Great Sage." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said.

"Very good, it will allow me, Old Sun, to avenge my previous shame."

Knowing that this was indeed not the time to say more, Sun Wukong somersaulted and rode a cloud straight into the air.

······
······
Within the Buddha's land, the sky moves and the earth rotates, and strange phenomena appear. The sky, the earth, the ocean... everything changes, but there is a clear light standing like a pillar, allowing all phenomena to evolve endlessly, and it remains motionless.

"break!"

With a light shout, yin and yang changed, Tai Chi turned, and all the virtual and real images shattered like glass, revealing a plain of red gold and a standing bodhi tree.

At this time, the enlightened one was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed under the Bodhi tree. A phantom appeared outside his body, which gradually became solid and took on the form of Tathagata.

Not far in front of the Taoist Master, Ye Tathagata was dressed in a black robe with a hood covering most of his face, leaving only a small half of his face and a few strands of white hair exposed. He was holding a black rosary in one hand and slowly moving it.

Invisible evil thoughts echoed around Ye Tathagata, stirring his mind and changing according to the moods of the surrounding creatures.

All the desires of the world and all living beings can be satisfied from the evil thoughts. However, when the Taoist faced the evil thoughts directly, the evil thoughts retreated on their own.

But the karma of the Tathagata has not retreated.

The promotion of the awakened one is also the promotion of the Karma Tathagata. At this moment, the interests of both are the same, and no one can be more united than the two of them.

Therefore, Karma Tathagata will not retreat.

And this is enough to show determination.

The Taoist didn't say much. The yin and yang energies surged like water, turning into a long river that surged forward.

Time was running out and he didn't have the spare time to delay any further with Karma Tathagata.

Karma Tathagata was still standing calmly, with one hand behind his back and the other hand fiddling with his rosary beads. A long river was rushing, with yin and yang standing side by side, appearing in front of him.

This is actually a long river of yin and yang.

The yin and yang energy surged and collided with each other, stirring up thousands of layers of water splashes, and countless energy surged and disappeared. The two rivers were exactly the same, even the trajectory of the yin and yang energy was exactly the same, and even the splashes were not the same.

It's like looking in a mirror.

Upon seeing this, the Taoist raised the Seven Star Sword to disrupt the yin and yang and confuse the universe.

On the other side, Ye Tathagata slowly moved his rosary beads, also confusing yin and yang, and upsetting the universe. Compared to Daojun, he didn't even need to use a sword.

"boom!"

The chaotic tide of Yin and Yang surged, the Yin and Yang energies stirred along chaotic trajectories, the space lost its order, and even the space of the Buddha's land became distorted.

It is still exactly the same, even the chaos of reversing yin and yang is exactly the same.

This is the Mara Sword Classic of Karma Tathagata!
The virtual and the real are no longer clearly distinguished. The real becomes the virtual, and the virtual becomes the real, all in accordance with the will of Karma Tathagata. He can reproduce any moves, even the divine will and true qi are exactly the same. Because all of this is fake, all things, no matter how impossible, can exist. For example, the innate qi, which should only be cultivated by members of the Jiang family and a woman related to Jiang Sikong, but Karma Tathagata can also visualize it.

Everything is created by the mind, so there is no need to stick to the essence.

However, this falsehood can also be true.

If Daojun failed to block Ye Tathagata's "Reversed Yin and Yang", then he would have a taste of how powerful his own moves were. In fact, because Daojun knew his own moves well enough, when he was hurt, the damage of "Reversed Yin and Yang" would be further manifested.

Ye Tathagata may be the most changeable powerful person in the world. Even Jiang Li and Tianjun are not as changeable as him.

However, there is only one thing that Karma Tathagata cannot completely change, and that is the strength of his own power!
Three streams of clear air came out of the body, and the yin and yang energy faded at this moment, turning into streams of light and condensing into Tai Chi. A magnificent force suddenly descended, just like [Tao ruling the world] descending from the highest place.

The fingers of Karma Tathagata that were moving the rosary paused, and finally made a move. He took a step forward and pushed the palm holding the rosary forward.

"Water hits three thousand miles."

The black water was surging, and a big Kun appeared in it, which was exactly the shape of the third-grade big Kun from the Dragon Palace.

The big Kun hit the water, waves surged for three thousand miles, and the surging tide was about to drown the Taoist.

"boom!"

Tai Chi blasted the huge waves with irresistible power. Although its energy seemed not obvious, its power was overwhelming. Under the pressure, the big Kun was destroyed!
The Taoist Lord moves with the Tai Chi, moving forward fearlessly, with the supreme power of Tao sweeping across everything.

When two primordial spirits were in the body, Daojun could resist Jiang Li's strength. When three primordial spirits were present, in terms of strength, he was even stronger than Jiang Li.

The previous sword clash was evidenced by the recoil of the sword and arm in Jiang Li's hand.

At this moment, Daojun was pushing forward brazenly, the trend was unstoppable, and Karma Tathagata could not retreat.

Once he steps back, the Dao Lord will be able to approach the Awakened One directly.

At that time, Karma Tathagata extended both his hands, and the Buddhist scripture appeared on his palms: "Seven Buddhas Eliminate Sins."

The awakened one's unique skill was used by Karma Tathagata, his mind took shape, and seven great Buddhas appeared.

But unlike the seven Buddhas of the awakened one, the seven Buddhas of Karma Tathagata are not majestic. Evil thoughts arise in all directions. The blue-black Buddha images appear to confuse people’s minds, and when their palms are extended, the six desires arise.

They don't look like seven Buddhas, but more like seven evil spirits, or seven demons.

The power of Tai Chi Yin and Yang is magnificent and supreme, the seven Buddhas turn into demons, and the six desires are complicated.

The two collided head-on, and in an instant, it was——

The real and the imaginary are intertwined.

"Thus have I heard." Karma Tathagata recited slowly.

[Thus I have heard] is the fourth-grade magical power of the enlightened, which can receive insights and transmit them completely. The enlightened used this magical power to infuse the enlightenment of cultivation into Jiang Li.

As the most powerful being, the enlightened one can deduce the magical powers and completely use them for his own benefit.

The enlightened one can do it, and of course the Karma Tathagata can do it too.

At this time, Karma Tathagata combined "Thus have I heard" and "Seven Buddhas Eliminate Sins" and put the overwhelming thoughts into the mind of Daojun.

The seven Buddhas turned into nothingness, destroying the mind. The evil thoughts were like thunder, exploding in the mind, annihilating the evil thoughts and the thoughts of the Taoist together.

The Tai Chi struck reality and directly crushed the body of Karma Tathagata. Under the power of the Tao, all things returned to emptiness and were all wiped out by Yin and Yang.

The virtual and the real are intertwined, each attacking the target.

In an instant, Karma Tathagata's body swayed like ripples on water, while Daojun's eyes reflected the changes in his mind, with black light flashing.

But at the same time, the pupils of Daojun's eyes turned into Tai Chi, forcibly suppressing his mind, while Ye Tathagata turned reality into illusion, trying to remove the power of Tai Chi.

The figure of Ye Tathagata became more ethereal, like a phantom, disappearing into nothingness, but his right hand stretched out in a palm, attacking Daojun's mind again from the illusion.

The Taoist suppressed the chaos in his heart, and the yin and yang flowed around him. The power of Tao was added to his body, and he seemed like the center of yin and yang. He achieved the ultimate in the "real" side, and also pushed out with one palm, using the real to attack the virtual.

The palms of the two showed two extremes, but they collided between reality and illusion. The figure of Karma Tathagata fluctuated to the extreme, and suddenly retreated, twisting like lightning and leaping, appearing several feet away.

On the other hand, the Taoist Master's body did not move. The yin and yang energy was flowing around his body. Suddenly, a dark electric light burst out and bombarded the surrounding ground. There was no trace of electricity, but there was a sense of death.

Karma Tathagata used his evil thoughts as thunder to attack his mind, but was forcibly expelled from his body by Daojun.

When the two fought, it was Daojun who had the upper hand.

His Taoism is so high that he can use the real to defeat the virtual, and he has also achieved perfection in the Three Purities. He can absorb the five turbidities and evil spirits and use them for his own benefit. It can be said that he has no shortcomings at all.

Although Karma Tathagata's attack was powerful, it only caused some trauma to Daojun's mind, without damaging his own strength.

Daojun gained the upper hand, his sword moved yin and yang, and his Dao force struck the void. The seven Buddhas were all on the verge of collapse, and then he took advantage of the victory to pursue. But——

"I should be before the Taoist."

Jiang Li is here. His figure suddenly appears in front of Daojun, with the energy of the moon and the sun circling around his body, forming an illusory sun and moon.

Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue's aura is connected to Jiang Li, but they are outside the Buddha land space.
