Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1246 - 32: Immortals and Buddhas Join Forces, Refining Randeng

"Claiming to be a 'failure', yet in my eyes, the Great Heavenly Venerate doesn't look like a failure at all."

The elegant and dignified figure, none other than the Queen Mother of the West, softly chuckled.

Despite the slightly disheveled appearance, the Great Heavenly Venerate remained calm and composed.

This was not only because he was once the ruler of the Heavenly Court, having a mindset unshaken by a sky collapse, but also because he had enough confidence.

Eight hundred years ago, he had already awakened and reincarnated as the Great Zhou's Grand Ancestor Ji Daoyang, founding the Great Zhou, slaying the Military God, and sacrificing himself to merge with Heaven. With so many preparations, who dared to say the Great Heavenly Venerate had exhausted his means?

As long as he is not killed on the spot, the Great Heavenly Venerate naturally has subsequent strategies.

He would admit some of his past arrangements and identities, actually to demonstrate his power so as not to lose initiative in the upcoming cooperation.

"Actually, it's nothing, just returning the Pharmacist Kasaya obtained in the past to the Fellow Daoist Rulai." The Great Heavenly Venerate gradually said.

"The Medicine Buddha's Dao Fruit?" The Queen Mother of the West, hearing the music and understanding the elegant meaning, immediately guessed the Great Heavenly Venerate's intention.

The Pharmacist Kasaya was the protective treasure of the Medicine Buddha—who is the Eastern Medicine Buddha Luminous King among the Three Buddhas of the Present—and it most likely held the Second Grade Medicine Buddha Dao Fruit.

The Great Heavenly Venerate gave the Medicine Buddha Dao Fruit to Shakyamuni Tathagata, undoubtedly hitting the crucial point and solving Shakyamuni Tathagata's urgent crisis.

He and the Great Sun Tathagata lingered around the Buddha Country, well aware that Ye Ru was laying in wait yet unwilling to leave, even appearing several times, just for the Randeng Tathagata Fruit within the Buddha Country.

They wanted to unite the power of the three Tathagatas to sense the whereabouts of the Amitabha Buddha Dao Fruit.

The Queen Mother of the West, also an Ancient God and Ancient Immortal existing from ancient times, was quite knowledgeable about Buddhist secrets and naturally understood their intentions.

And now, without needing to retrieve the Randeng Tathagata Fruit, the Great Heavenly Venerate has already aided them significantly.

"The Great Heavenly Venerate is still that Great Heavenly Venerate, always well-prepared." The Queen Mother of the West said with a half-smile.

The Great Heavenly Venerate presented the Medicine Buddha Dao Fruit, most likely synchronizing with his dealings against Jiang Li.

If this mission succeeds, using Jiang Li as a cottage, integrating his body for personal use, or just seizing the Pangu Banner, the Great Heavenly Venerate could immediately gain dominance. Even if those two Rulais from the Buddhist sect were to reforge their Dharma Manifestation, they would still not be able to compete with the Great Heavenly Venerate.

At that time, the Medicine Buddha could take the hearts of those two Rulais, gradually reacquiring the authority of the former Heavenly Court ruler.

It must be remembered that back then, even the Tathagata Buddha of Spirit Mountain stood slightly below the Great Heavenly Venerate in status.

If it fails, as it is now, it means Jiang Li is an enormous threat, and similarly, the Medicine Buddha Dao Fruit can be used for alliance, while using this external threat to urge those two Rulais to ally with himself.

Facing the threats of future powerful beings, these Immortals and Buddhas from before the End of Dharma naturally stand on the same side.

This move, though it may seem like forming an alliance for warmth, is indeed a clever strategy.

In any case, they could draw in those two Rulais.

No matter even if the Great Sun Tathagata once allied with the Heavenly Monarch, using the Six Souls Banner to conveniently curse the Great Heavenly Venerate, it doesn't matter.

Ultimately, for such existences, cooperation or opposition is the norm. Over the long years, anything is possible.

"Just a little foresight for failure," the Great Heavenly Venerate uttered with a hint of regret, "to be honest, I never really thought I would fail, making these preparations was merely out of past habits."

The Great Heavenly Venerate had gained the advantage starting eight hundred years ago.

At that time, the Five Vile Qi was not like now, it was at its peak, the End of Dharma still strongly maintaining the Five Turbid Evil World. If promoted to Second Grade, even if one could guard their mind, they would be eroded and die from the Five Vile Qi, possibly even becoming a new source of Evil Qi, fueling the Five Turbid Evil World.

The stronger one is, the more they can sense the terror of the End of Dharma, then suffer direct blows.

The Second Grade at its prime perished under the End of Dharma, let alone those who later resurrected or ascended to Second Grade.

Thus, the Great Heavenly Venerate ultimately could not ascend.

But he did not fall just like that, instead making full preparations, waiting for the right time to be reborn.

Dividing the Fuxi Dao Fruit, seizing the faith of Heaven, so that after his rebirth he could ascend to Second Grade, and then directly head towards First Grade.

Unfortunately, the Great Heavenly Venerate's schemes encountered unforeseen situations, leading to the current state.

Due to Emperor Jiang's cautious nature, the Heavenly Monarch perished with both body and spirit, leaving the Great Heavenly Venerate with only a remnant body, let alone his attempt to seize the Three Pure Dao Artifacts being thwarted by a monkey, and even now losing the Green Duckweed Sword.

In that situation, it was either losing Fuxi Dao Fruit or the Green Duckweed Sword. Ultimately, the Great Heavenly Venerate chose to abandon the Green Duckweed Sword.

This journey, just thinking about it, stirs emotions in the Great Heavenly Venerate, making him sigh endlessly.

However, the Queen Mother of the West did not feel the slightest regret.

"Had the Great Heavenly Venerate succeeded, we would probably have to submit to the Great Heavenly Venerate as well."

The Queen Mother of the West chuckled, saying: "The Great Heavenly Venerate concealed deeply, I too only realized the truth after the fact, playing the part of a hindsight strategist. If Emperor Jiang hadn't thwarted the Great Heavenly Venerate, it wouldn't have been my turn to cooperate with the Great Heavenly Venerate."

In advance, who could have thought the Great Heavenly Venerate had long been reborn, that the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit was merely a Dao Fruit, with no True Spirit within.

The Heavenly Monarch thought he had severely injured the Jade Emperor True Spirit with the Six Souls Banner, unaware that the True Spirit had long escaped. Even merging with Heaven to resist the curse from the remnants of the Six Souls Banner.
