Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1305 - 68: Signs of the End of the Five Turbid Evil Realms

'I feel that my title of being invincible in the world is becoming a bit unstable.'

Confirming that the information from Emperor Yan was correct, Heavenly Venerate was indeed undergoing the Promotion Ceremony, Jiang Li had some concerns.

The enemy was catching up vigorously, and recovery was easier than improvement. They could even use mechanisms (Daoist practice) to deal with Jiang Li's numerical advantage.

Just like this time, The Queen Mother of the West used Divine Skills to project Tianhe, blocking Jiang Li, forcing Jiang Li to play his trump card. Although unveiling this trump card was part of Jiang Li's own considerations, it indeed proved that the numerical advantage was being caught up.

To prevent his advantage from being caught up, the simplest way for Jiang Li is to increase his own numbers. If the numbers don't work, it only means the numbers aren't big enough.

However, the way to increase the numbers is to continuously expand the territory of Great Zhou. The ultimate goal is either the promotion of Heavenly Venerate to First Grade, or the return of Emperor Xi.

Just thinking about it gives Jiang Li a headache.

'Helpless indeed.'

He sighed lightly in his heart, glancing at the sea below, raising his hand to strike down seventy-two All Heaven Divine Sha, destroying all the earth vein nodes where the seventy-two islands were located.

In the earth-shattering tsunami noise, Jiang Li and Karma Tathagata disappeared together.

······

······

Above the Yellow Sea.

Seeing the enemy retreat, Princess and Yin Tulong stopped one after another.

"Xiao Tian, come back." Gongsun Qingyue also called back a certain Big Dog that cut ties with its former master.

The enemy's retreat was clearly aided by someone skilled, observing its abnormality, it's likely the incarnation of Great Venerable took action. Although our side held the advantage in the previous battle, it's still difficult to resist Great Venerable's Cosmic Light Divine Ability.

Chasing after them might lead to us falling into the enemy's encirclement.

But if we don't chase, what'll happen to Imperial College Sacrificial Officer?

Prior, Heavenly Charm forcefully used the Demon Refining Pot, with Vast Energy leaking, already proving that Imperial College Sacrificial Officer has not yet fallen, just captured. Not chasing would mean losing a Third Grade Combat Power on our side.

At this critical moment, as the sky fluctuated, Jiang Li and Karma Tathagata arrived.

"Do not pursue the desperate bandits."

Jiang Li said, "For now, focus on occupation, consolidate step by step. I will use Divine Skills to create land, stack islands, expand territory, and then deal with that Great Venerable."

As for Imperial College Sacrificial Officer······

In Jiang Li's left eye, the sun served as the pupil, forcibly peering through the chaotic cause and effect to glimpse a trace of Imperial College Sacrificial Officer.

He is not yet dead, and short-term there shouldn't be any life-threatening crisis, as for the other matters, involving Second Grade, and interference from Book of Luo River Map, it's difficult to further ascertain.

"Just let them off like this?" Yin Tulong frowned.

"Of course not, there's still a fight to come," Jiang Li shook his head, "The battle with Great Venerable and others isn't over yet."

Lightning warfare is impossible now, it would become a prolonged war of attrition.

Or perhaps, the decisive battle is postponed.

Jiang Li needs time to improve himself, both to confront Heavenly Venerate and prepare for eliminating Great Venerable, The Queen Mother of the West, and others.

Time stands both against them and for Jiang Li.

The Queen Mother of the West and others need time to recover, Jiang Li also needs to enhance his Realm and Daoist practice.

We'll see whether Jiang Li progresses faster, or they recover faster.

Even if they recover to peak condition, as long as First Grade doesn't appear, Jiang Li is not afraid.

Just as he was speaking, Jiang Li suddenly felt something, seeing the grand yet unobtrusive Buddha Light descending from beyond the sky, directly falling towards the East Sea.

From afar, within that Buddha Light, a Buddha shadow mirrored Jiang Li, despite being thousands of miles apart, both sides clearly locked onto each other.

Tathagata Buddha!

'He arrived very quickly.'

Using [Pangu's Left Eye] to observe the heavens and earth, the sun as his eye, his eye power surpassed even the Heavenly Eye. Spatial distance was completely ignored, Tathagata Buddha's Buddha Light was seemingly close at hand, Jiang Li instantly discerned the opponent's current aura had strengthened significantly compared to before.

'The remaining Buddha Power in the Pure Land should have been absorbed by him. Unfortunately, had I not destroyed half of the world, severing the reincarnation opportunity of the countless Buddhas, he would now be the strongest force.'

Half of the Pure Land and the slight vitality of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas became the stepping stones for Jiang Li's understanding of [All Causes Fruit].

Had it not been for this, Jiang Li could not have used Tai Shi Dao to create Pangu's Form.

It's not only the Tathagata that reaped benefits.

Facing the sight of the bitter adversary, Jiang Li met it unaffectedly, even using [Pangu's Left Eye] to overpower the opponent's Buddha's Eye with his gaze.

Eventually, Tathagata Buddha had to retreat under Jiang Li's gaze, landing in some area of the East Sea.

Seeing him in this manner, these two Tathagata would meet with Great Venerable, The Queen Mother of the West.

Heavenly Venerate is incompatible with Great Venerable, but not the two Tathagata. Even though they've formed an alliance with Heavenly Venerate, it doesn't hinder the current alignment of Tathagata and Great Venerable.

Just like how The Queen Mother of the West previously saved Heavenly Venerate, evidently having an understanding with Heavenly Venerate, yet joining forces with Great Venerable against Jiang Li.

For them, allies and enemies can change anytime. Everything essentially ties back to their own goals and interests.

By the same logic, the current understanding and alliances don't affect when Heavenly Venerate ascends to First Grade, The Queen Mother of the West, Tathagata will with others jointly attack Heavenly Venerate.

'A bunch of despicable Sixth Brothers.'

Jiang Li shook his head quietly, 'Good thing I am too.'

After that, Jiang Li temporarily cast aside the attention on these Sixth Brothers, raising his hand slowly.
