Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1254 - 36: An Era Filled with Madmen and Ambitious Men

"It's best not to have any impossible matters," the Princess said coldly.

The chill in her words, even the Southern Ming Li Fire could not conceal.

The ambition of the Great Venerable possibly wanting to go back to the past was something the Princess conjectured, but for her, guessing wrong was actually the best outcome.

If she guessed correctly, then was Feng Manlou thinking that once he returned to the past, everything would be as if it never happened?

How could there be such an easy thing in this world, and how could Ji Lingguang tolerate such a vain justification.

"Even the Three Pure Ones couldn't achieve such a feat, so the Great Venerable can't either," Jiang Li added, to comfort the Princess.

[However, Jiang Li might not be unable to do it.]

The words on the Karma Collection manifested endlessly, revealing Jiang Li's innermost thoughts.

[The reason the Three Pure Ones couldn't do it was because, besides them, there existed others of the same level, and even the gods of the Heavenly Court, the Buddhas of the Pure Land, demons, ghosts, and monsters, and all the creatures of the world. But now, with the fall of the Three Pure Ones, Amitabha, Emperor Xi, Wa Emperor... even the multitude of gods, Buddhas, countless demons, and all beings, all no longer exist, all turned into Dao Fruit. Even heaven and earth are far less vast than in the past.]

[If someone could control heaven and earth, it might not be impossible to achieve this.]

The words on the Karma Collection exuded an endless allure.

In fact, even at this point, reversing time was still an almost impossible feat, but the true allure of the content on the Karma Collection was not in reversing time, but in controlling heaven and earth.

Today's era is a decline, even if Jiang Li transformed the pure and impure, rejuvenated the spiritual mechanism, it is far from what it was before the End of Dharma. But for top-level powers, it's the best era, this era has a chance to reach the pinnacle.

To become the Three Pure Ones, or even surpass the Three Pure Ones.

'Did the End of Dharma in those days sweep away the multitude of gods and saints, causing the fall of the Three Pure Ones and other powerful beings, perhaps for the sake of transcendence?' Jiang Li couldn't help but think deeply.

To say the Three Pure Ones couldn't reverse time might not be entirely the case.

If they could destroy all things of heaven and earth, just like Lingbao Tianzun said during the Divine Enthronement, destroy heaven and earth, and reforge the earth, water, wind, and fire. If that were done, reversing time wouldn't be impossible.

Since the river of time is always greater than oneself, then all those greater parts could just be eradicated, or simply refined to be used for one's own.

This path, walked to its end, may not leave reversing time unfeasible, and transcendence is not unachievable.

Of course, this is just an ideal state, how it would actually be executed, even Jiang Li cannot tell.

He hasn't even reached the step of being the Three Pure Ones, let alone surpassing them.

Until now, Jiang Li still does not know how the Three Pure Ones achieve transcendence, nor what exactly the "End of Dharma" is. Thinking over and over, it still amounts to mere conjecture.

However, the words on the Karma Collection were deeply etched into Jiang Li's heart.

"This is an era filled with madmen and ambitious people, in such an era, even the most insane ideas don't seem exaggerated," Jiang Li said softly, giving the Princess an answer.

He could conceive a theoretically possible method to reverse time in a short time, surely the Great Venerable could think of one too.

No matter whether such a wild idea can be realized, as long as someone is willing to believe it, they will naturally put it into action. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

This means, the Great Venerable might really be wanting to return to the past.

Impossible is the fact, not the thought.

The Princess listened, her eyes seemed like they could condense into ice, exceedingly cold.

But in the next moment, she suddenly smiled, smiling brilliantly. She stared straight at Jiang Li and said, "Isn't that better? You will definitely crush his delusion into dust."

No matter how impossible the fantasy, Jiang Li could not let it lie, because he would not take such a risk.

Changing the past means shattering the present, that is an irreconcilable enemy.

And as for enemies, Jiang Li will stop at nothing to bury them.

"Even without this matter, he is my enemy,"

Jiang Li said blandly, but the glow in his left eye gently receded. At the same time, the Southern Ming Li Fire receded like a tide back toward the Princess, gradually merging into her body.

"Your Yang Fire is already under control,"

Saying this, Jiang Li was about to rise.

"Come to me this evening,"

The Princess did not stop Jiang Li; she just smiled softly and said, "As you said, this is an era filled with madmen; just so, I have some wild ideas I want to try with you."

To be honest, Jiang Li didn't feel it was madness, just thrilling.

[Perhaps because he had absorbed the sun of the myriad heavens, there was some surplus of Yang Qi, causing Jiang Li to feel even his self-control was slightly inadequate.]

Jiang Li looked at the text before him and said, "If you are not afraid, sister-in-law, you can come to the harem tonight, with my vinegar jar."

"You think I wouldn't dare?" The Princess's eyes sparkled.

She knew exactly whom the "vinegar jar" referred to.

She thought about competing on the same stage with an old rival, and her heart leapt.

Then—

"Never mind, I don't want to embarrass Gongsun Yuanxi with this woman, I'll let her off this time."

She truly didn't dare.

Primarily because she knew that Jiang Li coming to Nanli Palace could not have happened without Tianxuan's consent. She owed Tianxuan a favor and did not want Tianxuan's goodwill to receive a poor return.

For years, these two women had been at daggers drawn, always eager to surpass the other, but when it came to some critical matters, they were willing to give way a little. It must be said that this camaraderie was much more resilient than the plastic teacher-student bond with those three at home.

"Then it'll have to wait, see when there's another spare moment."

Jiang Li smiled as he spoke, then left the Nanming Pavilion, intending to go back and comfort his vinegar jar.

No idea if Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue had finished yet.

In Jiang Li's view, even though his senior sister's power had greatly improved, compared to Tianxuan, she was still slightly inexperienced. However, if the senior sister advanced to the third grade, then she might be able to contend with the master.

A third-grade Nine Heavens, Mysterious Lady is also a rare Yang deity, fitting perfectly with the Qianjin Path of the Nine Heavens, seamlessly aligning with Jiang Li's Power of the Sun, perhaps enabling her to surpass after all.

The premise being that Tianxuan does not advance during this time.

As he pondered, he exited Nanli Palace, when a distant call suddenly echoed in his ear.

"Jiang Li."

Upon hearing his own name, Jiang Li's consciousness directly followed the established karmic link to trace it, and the figure of Karma Tathagata entered his perception.

"Medicine Buddha has awakened, and now probably has already joined with Shakyamuni and Great Sun. They will seek the place of Amitabha's Parinirvana in the near future."

"Medicine Buddha?" Jiang Li repeated the suddenly appearing name.

"Eight hundred years ago, Medicine Buddha's Dao Fruit came to the endless desert."

Eight hundred years ago, such a frequently occurring point in time.

Jiang Li immediately thought of Great Zhou's Grand Ancestor.
