Too much fruit

Chapter 988 Taishi
The divine capital, Qiongshan.

The Grand Historian Xiao Zhi came to the study where the chief academic officer of the Imperial College lived. He saw the chief academic officer of the Imperial College reading a letter with a solemn expression, and there was a lightning-like gleam in his open eyes.

"teacher."

Xiao Zhi's heart trembled and he stepped forward to salute.

"coming."

The Imperial Academy Priest handed the letter to Xiao Zhi and said, "Take a look."

After Xiao Zhi took the letter, he quickly glanced at it and his expression changed drastically, "This..."

"The letter was hidden here a long time ago, and the mark left at the end also carries the aura of the Heavenly Sovereign," the Imperial Academy Priest said in a deep voice, "This is the backup plan left by the Heavenly Sovereign."

That is to say-

"Is it true?" Xiao Zhi lowered his voice unconsciously, "The emperor really rejected God's will..."

"Teacher, could this be a plot by the Lord of Heaven to sow discord?"

"So what? Can we confront the emperor face to face? Can we ask the emperor whether he has accepted the will of heaven?" The chief academician of the Imperial Academy shook his head.

Regardless of whether the emperor accepted the will of heaven or not, such questioning would be an act of usurpation, and there would be no answer that could be guaranteed to be 100% true.

Moreover, judging from the emperor's support for Mohism, this is not groundless.

Previously, I thought that this was the emperor's way of balancing the court, but now it seems that he may have the intention of suppressing the Imperial Academy.

Xiao Zhi was also a smart man. He immediately thought of the deeper meaning of Emperor Jiang's previous actions, and his usually calm face changed color at this moment.

"Teacher, what should we do? The emperor has already taken action, and later on..." Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "The grand sacrifice is coming soon, why don't we..."

"Be careful!"

The Imperial Academy Priest stopped Xiao Zhi from speaking, "Be careful! The emperor's Dao of Changes has reached a realm that even I cannot estimate. If there is no strongest person to cover it up, it will be disadvantageous to him. He will immediately feel it, and even I will be no exception. We can do nothing."

He walked a few steps outside, looked at the sun outside the door, and sighed: "In today's Great Zhou, there is only one sun, and that is the emperor. Any action that goes against the emperor will be met with a catastrophic disaster."

"Besides, the emperor should already know that we received the letter."

The Emperor of Heaven is not a kind-hearted man who is willing to help others. He did not send the letter to the Chief Academic Officer of the Imperial Academy out of good intentions, but because he wanted the Chief Academic Officer of the Imperial Academy to betray Jiang Li.

With this purpose in mind, he would not leave any room for the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer.

On one side, the Imperial Academy Master was told about the Emperor, and on the other side, the Emperor was told that the Imperial Academy Master had known the secret. In this way, the two sides were bound to have conflicts.

The Lord of Heaven's plan is still so ruthless.

"It is better to be still than to move. As long as we don't move and don't give the emperor a chance to attack us, even if the emperor wants to attack us, he can only use Mohism to restrain us."

Having said this, the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer showed a calm expression.

Mohism is nothing but a defeated opponent. It had already lost that year. Even if it rises again now, it will only lose again.

······
······
"If the emperor wants to attack the Imperial Academy, he can hand it over to me. I will take over the Imperial Academy. Why bother to activate Mohism?"

Following Jiang Li and Elder Tianji, Zhu Huian said, "I dare not say that I will fight against Teacher Mo Yi, but if we have the support of the emperor, it will not be difficult to take down the Imperial College. And if we use Mo Yi's teachings, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the emperor."

"Reputation is nothing but an empty thing. When have I ever considered it?" Jiang Li said casually as he walked. "If I want to deal with the Imperial Academy, I can just punish them directly without considering other things. As for excuses and reasons, there are great scholars who can argue for me. I kept the Imperial Academy, not because I can't do it, but because I want to see if there is anyone behind the High Priest."

"If I am not mistaken, the Heavenly Lord has also left a backup plan in the Imperial Academy, and told the High Priest about me. Let me see what the High Priest will do."

As he spoke, Elder Tianji had already brought Jiang Li and Zhu Huian to the side hall of Tianshu Hall.

The roof of the palace suddenly rose more than twice its height, and golden pillars stood tall. Faintly, a faint inspiration turned into white mist, floating back and forth.

The space here has obviously been expanded. The internal space is more than ten times larger than it looks from the outside. It is also connected to the Dinghu Sect's blessed land, drawing spiritual energy from it. While maintaining the space, it also uses formations and prohibitions to block the five turbidities and evil spirits.

The foundation of the Heavenly Aspect is the five senses, and as the Heavenly Aspect becomes complete, its perception becomes extremely powerful, and even the five turbidities and evil spirits are clearly visible. For practitioners, the five turbidities and evil spirits have never been something that makes people feel comfortable.

Although the Heavenly King is fully capable of enduring the five turbidities and evil spirits, who would be willing to suffer every day if they could live a better life?

Amidst the spiritual mist, a painting came into view.

It is hung at the end of the hall, like a curtain, covering a large area of ​​the wall. Two large characters occupy the space of the calligraphy and painting. The strokes are rounded and the sharpness of the outline is revealed at the end.

——The Way of Heaven.

“There is no bed or furniture in the residence of the Heavenly Lord. There is only a cushion for him to meditate and practice. It was in front of the cushion that I found the jade slip left by the Heavenly Lord.” Elder Tianji said, pointing to the cushion in front of "Tian Dao" and taking out another jade slip.

Judging from the layout of his residence alone, the Heavenly Lord is completely ascetic and has no desires for anything. He can even be said to be an ascetic monk.

In comparison, Tianxuan is a bit extravagant. The jade couch in the room is made entirely of warm jade and is very large, so four people can lie on it without feeling crowded.

However, those who are familiar with the Heavenly Monarch know that the Heavenly Monarch is not without desires, but he has too many desires and too big ambitions. The reason why he did not arrange it is that he does not like it and does not need it.

The body of the Heavenly Lord is already able to transform between flesh and blood and space. His physical senses are no longer human. The enjoyment that humans need is completely useless to him.

“After discovering the jade slip, I searched for it more than ten times, but to no avail.” Elder Tianji continued.

The three of them walked in the empty temple, as if they had entered a kingdom of giants. Their voices echoed around them, carrying a faint aura that brushed away the spiritual clouds and mist.

The three people saw the space inside the palace completely. It was indeed empty and they could see everything at a glance.

Of course, being empty doesn't mean there's no place to hide things. Whether it's the golden pillars or the ground, there's enough space to hide a jade slip or even some big things. If that doesn't work, hiding a storage magic tool can also solve all space problems.

However, Jiang Li believed that Elder Tianji would not miss these possibilities and must have searched for them long ago.

"If the Lord of Heaven left any other information, it must be for me. He must ensure that it cannot be found by others."

Jiang Li spoke slowly, his eyes wandering around, and after going around once, they landed on the huge "Heavenly Way".

His figure became blurred for a moment, as if he had transformed from a flesh and blood body into a phantom. In a flash of a moment, Jiang Li arrived in front of the "Heavenly Way" and was in mid-air.

Observing the calligraphy and painting closely, Jiang Li's face gradually became blurred, as if covered by a layer of fog, with his facial features disappearing behind the fog one by one.

Moreover, his figure became transparent, and the shadows of various spaces could be vaguely seen inside.

This body was split from Jiang Li, representing the Yellow Emperor among the Three Sovereigns. It possessed the great achievements of the "Xingfen" and also possessed the "Yin Fu Jing" of the Heavenly Monarch. His attainments may not be as good as the Heavenly Monarch, but they are not far behind.

After the five senses disappear, all perceptions are manifested by the spirit, and the perception of the mind becomes unprecedentedly powerful, enough to see through the inner nature of matter and the structure of space.

When this perception fell on the calligraphy and painting, a vast and boundless aura surged into the perception, and it seemed as if a scene of the creation of heaven and earth appeared before the eyes, with the clear and turbid separated, and a space that seemed real and unreal appeared.

Jiang Li guessed correctly. The Heavenly Emperor did leave behind something that only he, Jiang Li, could get.

The space ahead was uncertain, seemingly within reach, but in a split second it vanished into thin air, as if it were unreal.

When space becomes illusory, even the Tai Su Qi cannot touch the space.

If it cannot be reached, then naturally it cannot destroy the "body" of space.

This space fully demonstrates the way of the Heavenly Monarch, with changes in reality and illusion. If one is not on par with the Heavenly Monarch in the way of space, it is impossible to open this space in a normal way, and it can only be broken by force.

But in this way, the strength and realm of the person who breaks through will also be sensed by the Heavenly Lord.

Even if he used the almighty [Emperor Out of the Shock], his strength would be exposed. It would be better to say that it was precisely because of the use of the magical power that his strength was exposed, because the fundamental reason why [Emperor Out of the Shock] was so powerful was because of its great strength.

Obviously, even if he temporarily withdrew, Tianjun did not forget to test Jiang Li's realm and keep abreast of Jiang Li's information.

His calculations were one link after another, and each link could achieve his goal. Unfortunately...

"It's a pity that you're already dead."

Jiang Li said calmly, reaching out his hand to probe the space in the painting, "Even if you are not dead yet, you can't detect my realm."

In terms of the way of space, Jiang Li is indeed inferior to Tianjun. Even if he has deduced the complete "Yin Fu Jing", it is impossible for him to catch up with Tianjun in a short time. However, this does not mean that Jiang Li has no other way.

The palm gradually became illusory, the flesh and blood disappeared, and even the sense of touch of the palm disappeared, transforming into another sense.

That is a perception that is beyond the scope of flesh and blood and primordial qi, and is completely different from the perception of divine consciousness.

When this perception... that is, this illusion covers the whole body, the five senses and even the perception of the mind should disappear, and the perception of space will also be replaced. It should be a completely new feeling.

This is a corner of Tai Shi.

At this moment, Jiang Li's right arm lost its substance and body, becoming a purely tangible object, and probed into the space in front.

The illusory space suddenly solidified, and then began to collapse rapidly. A huge force followed, but it did not harm Jiang Li at all.

He just gently pulled his hand out and took out his target.
