Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1247 - 32: Immortals and Buddhas Assist Each Other, Refining Randeng (Part 2)

"That's enough idle talk," the Great Heavenly Venerate finally couldn't resist a soft snort and said, "Speak, what do you want?"

The Queen Mother of the West undoubtedly wanted to cooperate with the Great Heavenly Venerate, under the threat of Emperor Jiang's value of beauty, but cooperation aside, some accounts must be clearly stated.

Since she extended a helping hand to the Great Heavenly Venerate, the Great Heavenly Venerate must naturally give something in return.

"What I want, of course, is the truth,"

The Queen Mother of the West's smile faded, her voice was gentle yet seemed to carry an invisible pressure, "Have the Three Pure Ones, and the others, fallen?"

The Great Heavenly Venerate should be one of the most comprehensive beings aware of the situation of the End of Dharma.

Beneath the Three Pure Heavens is the Palace of the Polestar of the Great Heavenly Venerate. If there were any changes with the Three Pure Heavens, the Great Heavenly Venerate would know. If there were any final results regarding the Three Pure Heavens, the Great Heavenly Venerate is the most likely being to know the situation.

And the Queen Mother of the West inquiring like this······

"Heh," the Great Heavenly Venerate smiled slightly, yet somewhat answered without answering the question, "This is the end time of cultivation; even now with the revival of the spiritual mechanism, it cannot reach the heights of the past. However, this is our flourishing era because the position at the top of the heavens has become vacant."

Though not a direct answer, it already provided a satisfactory answer to the Queen Mother of the West.

People of this era can ascend by accommodating the Dao Fruit, and these reborn great powers can do the same.

The Great Heavenly Venerate has his eyes on the Fuxi Dao Fruit, so the Queen Mother of the West can aim for the Wa Emperor Dao Fruit.

Perhaps those of the First Grade still have lingering True Spirits, but compared to the cultivation path, these risks are completely negligible.

The Great Heavenly Venerate can usurp Heaven's faith and make a move on the Fuxi Dao Fruit, so why can't the Queen Mother of the West?

Openly asking whether the Three Pure Ones and other similar existences have fallen, in reality, she just wanted to get the final confirmation.

"Good." The Queen Mother of the West uttered a word, concise and firm.

"Then, I shall take my leave first, my thanks to the Queen Mother for lending a hand today."

The Great Heavenly Venerate slightly nodded, his figure gradually faded, and in an instant, he disappeared without a trace.

Since the consensus for cooperation had been reached, there was no need to speak more.

After the Great Heavenly Venerate left, the mirror-like immortal light did not dissipate. The figure reflected within pondered briefly before suddenly asking, "What did you see?"

Within the mirror-like immortal light, clouds swirled, and the Immortal Queen quietly appeared.

"That person resembles the Heavenly Monarch," the Immortal Queen thought for a moment and said.

Both have far-reaching plans and are equally close to the Heavenly Heart, but compared to the Heavenly Monarch, the Great Heavenly Venerate is not so unscrupulous, and his morality is much higher.

Or rather, the Great Heavenly Venerate does not display everything openly like the Heavenly Monarch does.

The Heavenly Monarch desires to become the heaven, claiming to be half-heaven and half-human, yet his emotions have long been no different from the heavens. Even if he can control people's hearts, he is still unwilling to mask his cold calculation.

"One could say, rather, that the Heavenly Monarch is like him."

The Queen Mother of the West corrected, "We live long and see far, a mere few hundred years are insignificant to us. When placing pieces on the board, it's often calculated in centuries or millennia. Maybe back then, he already foresaw that among his descendants would appear someone suitable for him to seize body."

As long as the related philosophies and Magic Doors are left behind, naturally there will be people who will research and study them.

From a certain perspective, cultivators and officials are no different; both are too eager to progress. It's just that one is progress in official ranks, the other is in cultivation.

Encountering profound Miracle Techniques, how could they leave them untouched?

As long as someone comprehends them, sooner or later, he will reach the Great Heavenly Venerate's requirements.

As for how long it takes, it doesn't really matter. A few hundred years are just a fleeting moment; this is the time perspective of a Longevity Seeker.

"It's just that the Great Heavenly Venerate didn't anticipate that the era has already changed. The long-lasting plans of the Longevity Seekers may not adapt to the rapid changes of the current era," the Queen Mother of the West slowly said, "Therefore, the Great Heavenly Venerate's scheming failed, also giving me a glimpse of the achievers of this world."

There are always some beings that can rise amidst the tides of the era and perform incredible feats. In the past, there were Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang; now, there's Emperor Jiang.

Although the Queen Mother of the West can completely overlook Jiang Li in terms of experience, she does not dare to underestimate him in terms of dealing.

The arrogance of ancient beings doesn't surface when confronting strong enemies.

Even if arrogance existed before, after the Great Heavenly Venerate's personal demonstration, it can no longer remain.

No matter how many measures are in place, failure is still failure, and this time, the Great Heavenly Venerate even faced a life-and-death crisis.

Emperor Jiang's value is truly aesthetically pleasing.

The Immortal Queen is no fool; she naturally understood the Queen Mother of the West's guidance and, from previous eavesdropping, also grasped her intentions.

"The Great Venerable should have lost this time; how shall we deal with him now?" the Immortal Queen asked.

"Just pretend you don't know, and also, send someone to fish out that Shen Hou and return him to the Great Venerable," the Queen Mother of the West responded lightly, "This person will be a good chess piece, not only to deal with the Great Venerable, but he may also be used later to oppose the Great Heavenly Venerate's Investiture of the Gods."

In other words, continue cooperating with the Great Venerable as usual, and for a short time, do not take action against him. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The Immortal Queen heard this and nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

Meanwhile, the Queen Mother of the West glanced again in the direction of the Divine Country, then shifted her gaze to the Great Sun in the sky, "This Great Sun, how dazzling it is, yet who knows how long it can shine?"

······

······

Buddha Country, Mountain of Mind and Heart.

A Dharma Manifestation flew out of the Yin World, came to the Mountain of Mind and Heart, and also glanced at the Great Sun in the sky, unable to help but sigh, "Reversing the sky timing, it seems we have to start anew today."

The Great Sun in the sky returned from its sunset state to zenith, lingering there for quite a while, causing Ksitigarbha to feel both emotional and amazed.

He knew that Jiang Tianzi had won once again.

At this moment, our side had already gained a strategic advantage in strength, yet it also made the enemy more cautious.

As Ksitigarbha thought, he entered the No Buddha Temple, turning towards the back of the monastery.

Here, the already vanished Bodhi Tree reappeared, and beneath it, a Buddha Image emerged.

Karma Tathagata dressed in a black robe, appearing like a ghostly demon, stood before the tree, yet exuded a solemn Buddha's energy, seeming like both Buddha and demon, ghostly yet pure.

Without turning around, sensing Ksitigarbha's arrival, he spoke, "The Mazer can sense that those two's attention is no longer on the Mountain of Mind and Heart, just after the Great Sun rose to zenith."

That was exactly when Jiang Li was ascending.

Karma Tathagata had not gone to the Divine Capital to support, and those two Tathagatas just endured, restrained, and never made a move. Even to the end, they seemed inclined to abandon the Randeng Tathagata Fruit.

In response, Ksitigarbha replied, "This humble monk senses a new Tathagata has appeared in the world again."

"Oh?"

Karma Tathagata expressed curiosity, "To have found another Tathagata's Dao Fruit right after Jiang Tanyue's successful ascension······ Truly an extraordinary matter. Yet fortunately—"

His eyes flashed with a ghostly light, looking at the Buddha Image beneath the Bodhi Tree, "The Mazer was prepared."

Ever since advancing to the Second Grade, Karma Tathagata spent a significant amount of time in seclusion, because he needed to devour Bodhi's True Spirit.

Afterward, some people detected an uncontrollable flow of Buddha Demon Qi.

At that time, the world widely spread that Karma Tathagata was going to refine the Awakened's body, yet in reality······

A bright lamp shone before the Buddha Image beneath the Bodhi Tree, a point of Round Light added on the lampstand, tiny and subtle, yet with the potential to illuminate the past and present.

The Randeng Tathagata Fruit, which Shakyamuni Tathagata and Great Sun Tathagata always sought, was currently beneath the Bodhi Tree.

When this Buddha Image lifted its head after the lamp brightened, it looked at Karma Tathagata, mutual ghostly light flickered in both's eyes synchronously.

Karma Tathagata actually didn't need to refine the Awakened's physical body because he was the Awakened. The appearance of Buddha Demon coexistence was to make others think that Karma Tathagata was refining the Awakened's body, and it was also a cover for this matter.

What he truly wanted to refine was the Randeng Tathagata's Dao Artifact.

"What they desire is what the Mazer desires as well; the Amitabha Buddha Dao Fruit, the Mazer also wishes to take it."
