Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1315 - 76: Three Bandits

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother!"

In the increasingly urgent calls, Jiang Li snapped back to reality.

This was Jiang Li's last visit outside, and after the great battle over the East Sea, Jiang Li and Karma Tathagata returned to Yangzhou. They are now in the residence of the East Sea Prince, discussing matters with everyone.

Gongsun Qingyue, Princess Ji Lingguang, Yin Tulong, who fought against Xuanwu King and other enemies over the Yellow Sea, have arrived as well. The Heavenly Mirror manifested, communicating with the South Sea and Yu State, reflecting scenes from both sides.

On one side, at the edge of the South Sea, were Primordial Lord Rain Master and Daoist Guang Cheng.

On the other side was Tianxuan, planning the Nine States Barrier in Yu State.

Just as the discussion was taking place, Jiang Li suddenly fell into a trance, even his figure appeared like a phantom, flickering with signs of dispersing.

Beside him, Gongsun Qingyue naturally noticed the abnormality first and immediately called out.

Jiang Li was undoubtedly the backbone. Whether it was Yuxu Temple, Daode Sect, or Buddha Country, it was because of Jiang Li that they could unite. If something happened to Jiang Li, even if the alliance didn't dissolve, it certainly wouldn't be as unified as before.

Fortunately, Jiang Li's abnormality did not last long. After Gongsun Qingyue called out a few times, he came back to his senses.

"It's nothing."

Jiang Li held Gongsun Qingyue's hand, patting it to reassure her, and then said, "I just had a sudden realization that occupied much of my mind."

Jiang Li's two other bodies seated at Divine Capital and Three Pure Ones Heaven were not a secret. His sudden realization through one of these other bodies, which occupied his mind, was normal.

However, the abnormality was somewhat more unusual than expected, making people ponder deeply.

Since Jiang Li said "it's nothing," the others did not ask more questions.

"Let's continue with the previous topic," Jiang Li looked at everyone and said, "Our advantage was obvious, yet we suddenly slowed our attack, the Great Heavenly Venerate will certainly suspect that I've learned about his promotion ceremony. Afterwards, the Great Heavenly Venerate is likely to take action. He has been plotting for eight hundred years with great patience, and he will never just give up."

Regarding the promotion ceremony of Fuxi Dao Fruit, Jiang Li did not hide it from his allies.

Firstly, the Great Heavenly Venerate is deceitful and cunning, with his scheming mind, he would certainly have suspicions about Jiang Li's actions. Trying to trap the Great Heavenly Venerate with this would be almost impossible.

Even if the Great Heavenly Venerate feigns ignorance of the ceremony leak, Jiang Li would still have to wonder if the Great Heavenly Venerate is plotting something again.

Secondly, Jiang Li did not intend to hide it. Leaking it to the Queen Mother of the West, Shakyamuni Tathagata, and the Sixth Brother could help in dealing with the Great Heavenly Venerate.

Before the End of Dharma, they were suppressed by Three Pure Ones, Two Great Buddhas of Buddhism, Emperor Xi, Emperor Wa, etc., and now with the End of Dharma, if someone is still suppressing them from above, was their experience of the End of Dharma all in vain?

If a First Grade appears, it must be them, otherwise, no one would advance.

Even if they do not directly confront the Great Heavenly Venerate, they would certainly guard against him.

If the Great Heavenly Venerate was thinking of a silent backstab, he would surely harvest a lot of surprises.

Under two reasons, Jiang Li would certainly not hide it from his own people.

Tianxuan, observing Jiang Li through the Heavenly Mirror, did not say much but continued, "You wish to avoid battle, the Great Heavenly Venerate would definitely not agree and will try to provoke a major conflict between our side and the enemy. However, if we focus on defense with a unified heart, it is not difficult to avoid a life-and-death battle. Once the Nine States Barrier is established, we can fight if we wish, or avoid it if we choose."

Now, the Nine Provinces are like Jiang Li incarnate, with the Nine Provinces Spiritual Mechanism at his disposal, and the Tai Chi Diagram spread beneath the earth.

Whether it is the Great Heavenly Venerate or any Second Grade, if they dare to act against Jiang Li within the Nine Provinces, they should be prepared to be beaten severely or even fall.

The Great Zhou, in a sense, is certainly a weakness, but also a reliance.

Within Great Zhou, Jiang Li stands undefeated.

Even now, with the divine skill of [Tri-legged Nine Provinces], he gains support from the nation's strength outside of Great Zhou, but his power will certainly be stronger on native soil.

The critical factor is the pervasive spiritual mechanism of the Nine Provinces, entirely at Jiang Li's disposal, which can make Jiang Li's metrics more impressive.

If utilizing a First Grade Dao Artifact, anyone who comes could face the risk of falling.

Thus, in previous battles, the opponent attacked from the sea instead of using the Great Venerable's or Queen Mother of the West's divine skills to directly move onto land.

To conquer Great Zhou, one must proceed from the outside in, step by step, to eliminate or annex territories. To directly parachute in requires being completely superior to Jiang Li in strength.

Tianxuan's proposal is feasible, provided the Five Turbid Evil World continues.

"This method was possible before but is not feasible now."

Jiang Li shook his head, saying, "You should have noticed the change in heaven and earth's spiritual mechanism before. The Five Turbid Evil World is coming to an end; I and the Daoist Lord personally initiated the Spiritual Mechanism Recovery, making the Nine Provinces the center of the new world after the end of the Five Turbid Evil World. Even if nothing is done, the Great Heavenly Venerate's promotion ceremony will be completed."

"However, if the Great Heavenly Venerate does nothing, by the time the promotion ceremony is complete, he might already not be my equal, so he cannot just wait."

Jiang Li roughly explained the current situation, revealing that the great battle will inevitably resume.

But in his calm words, it seemed he no longer regarded the Great Heavenly Venerate as his great enemy.

Tianxuan, Primordial Lord Rain Master, and Gongsun Qingyue, as Jiang Li's companions, naturally sensed how Jiang Li perceived the Great Heavenly Venerate. But seeing Jiang Li not willing to discuss it further, they chose not to point it out.
