Too much fruit

Chapter 747: The Rebel King - Han Xuan
Lingtai Mountain.

Where there is light, there is shadow, and this is true even in the holy land of Buddhism where the Buddha’s light is always shining.

In the shade of Lingtai Mountain, a solemn black gate stands with the three characters of Jiuhua Temple inscribed on it. Behind the gate is a hazy place with floating lights and shadows, where Buddhist temples and monks' quarters can be seen, and a pagoda can be seen in the distance.

The seemingly real and unreal space overlaps with the mountain, like an illusion, and it seems like being in another world.

This is the place of practice for the four wheel-turning kings of the Buddhist kingdom.

There are two great masters and six bodhisattvas in the Buddha's kingdom, but it is common knowledge that there are seven of the six great bodhisattvas. The Chakravartin is one of the extra-commons, and although he has no bodhisattva fruit, he has the name of a bodhisattva in the Buddha's kingdom.

The light and shadows fluctuated, and the space behind the gate began to solidify, and the temple's gate wall and the dark sky could be seen. Through the open gate, a huge wheel was seen floating on the lotus-shaped square inside, emitting a pure and holy Buddha light that was incompatible with the dark sky.

On the wheel, there are six figures of monks, and around them are various patterns, including sacred and solemn buildings, eerie and terrifying hell, animals born from eggs, the human world in the mundane world, and the bloody Shura killing field.

On a wheel, the scenes of the six realms of reincarnation are all there.

In front of the roulette wheel, a golden ball of light was quietly suspended, and a figure could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged inside.

Suddenly, the roulette wheel started to turn, and along with the distortion of light and shadow, a dark hole opened, and a sturdy figure dressed as a clerk flew out of it.

Judging from his body, it is not a flesh body, but a ghost body condensed by Yin Qi, but with a trace of Yang Qi, it must be a sixth-grade ghost Sun Wandering God. Moreover, this Sun Wandering God is also stained with pure and masculine Buddha light.

In the Buddhist country, the only one who can have this kind of Buddha light is probably Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Manjusri became a monk midway through his life, and although he had already transformed into a Buddhist foundation, the skills belonging to Jiang's "Qi Fen" were not abolished, but integrated with the Buddhist skills. Therefore, his Buddha's light is also quite special and can be seen at a glance.

The gods parading on this day should be the Yin gods who are going to deliver a message to Manjusri.

"Greetings to the Bodhisattva of the Wheel of Time."

After the Sun-Wandering God landed on the ground, he bowed respectfully to the ball of light in front of the wheel and said, "Manjusri Bodhisattva specifically instructed me to convey his gratitude. When he returns one day, he will come to Jiuhua Temple in person to express his gratitude to the Bodhisattva of the Wheel of Dharma."

The Chakravartin has already shown his inclination through his actions. No matter what choice he will make in the future, and no matter whether Manjushri believes that the Chakravartin has sided with him, at least for now, Manjushri wants to express his gratitude.

In response, a voice as light as water came from the light ball. The only ghost cultivator in the Buddha Kingdom said indifferently: "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. You go back and tell Vajra Tibetan Bodhisattva that not long after I opened the passage to the underworld, someone else also opened the passage. However, this person should not have the Dao fruit of King Yama, but opened the passage with a Dao instrument, which should be the gate of hell carrying the Dao fruit of King Yama."

"The gates of hell?!" The Sun God looked stern.

He is also a member of the Jiang family, so how could he not know what the Gate of Hell represents.

Ghost Gate originally belonged to Yinlusi, and was handed over to King Lu after he was seriously injured, so that he could be promoted. However, King Lu's promotion failed, not only did he die, but Ghost Gate was also lost, falling into the hands of Tianxuan Elder of Dinghu Sect.

This is no trivial matter as it concerns the current head of the Gongsun family.

"Please wait for a moment, Bodhisattva. I will go and report to Vajra-Garbha Bodhisattva."

The Sun God bowed again and left in a hurry.

Then within a quarter of an hour, a red-robed monk walked out from the gate, followed by Jiang Zhuliu who was also dressed in red.

"Buddhist friend."

Vajra Zang greeted him, and then asked directly: "Excuse me, fellow Buddhist, where is the gate of hell?"

“The other party has not fully activated the Ghost Gate, and the response is weak. But in my opinion, the Ghost Gate should appear in the land of White Mountains and Black Waters.” The Wheel-Turning King replied.

"White mountains and black waters..." Vajra Zang showed a trace of inexplicable look.

Jiang Zhuliu behind him was surprised and happy.

It’s because it’s impossible for Tianxuan to be in the land of white mountains and black waters now.

She was chased by the Fairy Queen all the way, fighting and fleeing, and now she is almost to the west of Liangzhou. The White Mountain and Black Water are located in the northeast of Kunxu Mountain. It is not to say that it is the opposite of Tianxuan, but it is thousands of miles away.

So, it can’t be Tianxuan.

The Sun-Traveling God not only brought news of the changes at Lingtai Mountain, but also brought messages from the other side.

According to the letter sent back by the eldest son of the Jiang family, Tianxuan and Jiang Li have now separated, taking the second-grade Taoist artifact away with the Immortal Queen. Although Jiang Zhuyang only watched the two fight from a distance, with his secret sense of the Jiang family's treasures, he was able to determine that the Ochre Whip and Shennong Ding were not near Tianxuan.

However, because Jiang Li had basically refined the Ochre Whip and Shennong Cauldron, Jiang Zhuyang could only roughly determine that the two treasures were not nearby, and it would be difficult to locate them if the distance was far.

Now that the Wheel King has brought such news, it undoubtedly points out a direction for Jiang Zhuyang who is hunting down Jiang Li.

Vajra Zang did not doubt the ability of the Chakravartin. It was because the Chakravartin had sensed the presence of the Ghost Gate in Yongzhou that the White Lotus Mother Bodhisattva, now known as the Mother of No Birth, Tan Wuwei, went to Yongzhou to intercept him.

Having already experienced it the first time, it won’t be difficult to sense the opening of the ghost gate again.

“Please, fellow Buddhists, open the passage to the underworld again.” Vajra Zang pleaded.

The Chakravartin did not refuse and replied, "Yes."

The wheel turned again, and a dark cave entrance appeared in the air. The wandering god leaped again and entered the cave entrance.

······
······
"The passage to the underworld has opened again."

Jiang Li, who had just finished talking with Master Yu, shuddered and almost thought that Tian Xuan had discovered his act of disrespecting his ancestors.

Fortunately, she didn't come here to clean up the mess.

Tianxuan's voice came from the reappeared ghost gate phantom, bringing an unexpected news.

Jiang Li continued to maintain the illusion and slightly raised his eyebrows, saying, "As far as I know, the only ones who can directly open the passage to the underworld are the Ten Kings of Hell, and the closest King of Hell right now is the King of the Wheel of Buddha. I heard that he was praised by the enlightened ones as having the qualities of a leader. The opening of the Gate of Hell might not have been hidden from him. Maybe..."

His eyes flickered with indifference and coldness. "No need to look for Jiang Zhuyang. He will come to you on his own."

Having said that, Jiang Li raised his palm and sent out a stream of Yuan Qi, which penetrated into the ghost gate.

In an instant, negative energy was seen rising, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling could be heard. The phantom of the Ghost Gate gradually solidified until it became a solid entity.

The fluctuations that were originally almost invisible became obvious, and the surrounding trees were stained with dark colors.

"Xiaotian will be here soon, so just wait for him here."

As Jiang Li spoke, he winked at Yu Shi Yuan Jun, "Also wait for the enemies that may come."

When Yushi Yuanjun saw Jiang Li's expression, she knew that this was an arrangement for her to appear. She would still find Jiang Li, but not before, but soon after.

If the time of their meeting was postponed, Jiang Li would not have time to practice dual cultivation with Yu Shi Yuan Jun.

This arrangement achieved two goals at once. Yu Shi Yuan Jun moved his body, and with the help of Jiang Li's cover, he quietly retreated. After leaving the dense forest, he flew towards the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, was circulating his innate Qi. Crystal light shone from his body, and a red color emerged from the translucency. Two phantoms with long horns flashed on his forehead.

He has already activated his Shennong aspect, and once the same bloodline approaches, Jiang Li will immediately sense it.

Previously in Kunxu Mountain, Wenshu himself was the strongest Yan Emperor bloodline besides Jiang Li, and Wenshu was also proficient in Yi Dao, so Jiang Li did not notice Jiang Zhuyang's existence under his cover. It was not until he drew his bow that Jiang Li realized the threat.

But now, it's different.

Even though Jiang Zhuyang himself was practicing Jiang family's "Gui Zang Yi" and possessed a Sun-shooting Bow, compared to Jiang Li, the eldest son of the Jiang family was still a little bit inferior.

so······

Jiang Li's eyes were slightly closed, but a crack slowly appeared between his eyebrows. His third eye opened and he looked down at the earth from a perspective like the sky.

He waited slowly.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour...like a most patient fisherman, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

After successfully catching Wuzhiqi last time, Jiang Li regained his confidence.

That's right, how can a fisherman go empty-handed every day? After so many empty-handed attempts, it's time for things to go to extremes.

This time, we must catch the big fish.

About an hour later, Jiang Li felt a slight ripple in his heart, and a faint induction entered his perception range. A complex array diagram immediately appeared behind Jiang Li, with layers of array plates rotating, and the line of cause and effect was also visible.

"Jiang Zhuyang, we're here."

At the same time, eight hundred miles away, a red figure stopped beside a turbulent river.

"The ochre whip and the Shennong Ding."

Jiang Zhuyang looked towards the towering mountains in the distance, and his heart was involuntarily excited. "The news that is spreading is true. Jiang Li is indeed approaching the Buddha Kingdom."

He just didn't believe that Jiang Li would give the ochre whip and Shennong Ding to others.

Jiang Zhuyang's heart surged, and he wished he could kill Jiang Li right now and take back the two treasures that represented the head of the Jiang family. His aura was agitated, emitting murderous intent and aura that made the Sun Wandering God behind him try to shrink his body.

"My lord," Sun God said cautiously, "Li is treacherous and treacherous. How about I tell Manjusri Bodhisattva and see if he can select a third-rank..."

“Those people from Yuxu Temple and Momen are not vegetarians. It is impossible for them to be divided into three grades.” Jiang Zhuyang shook his head.

If the combat power is sufficient to separate out three grades, why doesn't Manjusri deal with the third grade on the opposite side first?
It is basically impossible to kill Jiang Li by relying on the third rank.

When Jiang Zhuyang said this, he reached back and his fingertips touched the white arrow in the quiver behind him.

He wanted to kill Jiang Li and take back the ochre whip and Shennong Ding at this moment.

Anything other than that is not something Jiang Zhuyang needs to consider.

Is it possible that the Buddha’s enlightened being will come out of retreat?

A third-rank master intervened, and it was a matter of supreme power. Even if a fourth-rank master like Jiang Zhuyang intervened, what would that do? He could not become a variable that would change the situation.

Therefore, Jiang Zhuyang did not go to the Buddhist Kingdom with the intention of stopping Taibai Zhenjun. His goal from beginning to end was only one, which was Jiang Li.

Kill Jiang Li and take back the ochre whip and Shennong Ding.

Even if he is not yet able to reach the Dao Fruit stage, he can still use these two third-grade Dao weapons to improve his own strength.

Jiang Zhuyang is the son of the former patriarch, so he has no shortage of methods to use the Ochre Whip and Shennong Ding. Even if he cannot completely refine them, he can still use the power of the Taoist tools to greatly increase his own strength.

'Everything is false, only your own strength is the most real.'

Jiang Zhuyang felt that his mind was extremely clear, his will had never been so firm, and his state of mind seemed to have reached its limit at this moment. Originally, he just wanted to act according to circumstances, but now it has become imperative.

Jiang Li must die!
At this moment, Jiang Zhuyang had only this one thought in his mind. His aura surged and a huge figure slowly emerged behind him.

It was a burly figure wearing a tight suit and holding a large bow. His figure was tall and majestic, his face was blurry, but his eyes were clear, reflecting his extremely fiery ambition and desire.

The Rebel King Han Xuan, the fourth-grade Dao Fruit that Jiang Zhuyang is now holding.

Hanyue was a disciple of Houyi, and also Houyi's appearance.

This Houyi was not the Houyi who shot down nine suns, but the leader of the Youqiong tribe who rebelled in the Xia Dynasty and became the sixth king of the Xia Dynasty.

As Houyi's apprentice, Hanyue perfectly inherited his master's way. He also committed treason and usurped the throne, killing Houyi, his master and monarch, seizing the country, and almost wiped out Xia Yu's bloodline.

Han Xuan was born with a rebellious nature, and Jiang Zhuyang accepted his Taoist fruit, so the supernatural powers he obtained were naturally related to rebellion.

One of the magical powers of Daoguo is [Defeat the Strong with the Inferior]. When facing someone with stronger luck than oneself, one can ignore the influence of the luck and feed back the divine will, so that one's own offensive force can break the opponent's luck.

Once the destiny is broken, not only will it be easy to be attacked by external evils, but it will also indirectly affect perception and spiritual thoughts. There will be no direct damage, but there will be a lot of indirect threats.

and also--

"Usurpation of power."

Sunlight appeared in Jiang Zhuyang's eyes, and a metal mirror floated beside him.

The superiors who were killed by Jiang Zhuyang would have some of their power taken away. Jiang Zhuyang's promotion ceremony was to shoot and kill the fourth-grade strongman of Fusang overseas, so he also took away some of his skills, usurped some of his luck, and even took away a magical power.

Now, Jiang Zhuyang is using the magical powers he has seized to boost his own strength.

The Dao fruit of the successive monarchs of Fusang is called "Amaterasu Omikami", which is the sun goddess in Fusang mythology. Although the gold content of this sun goddess is far less than that of Yandi, it is enough to greatly improve Jiang Zhuyang's "Qi Tomb".

What's more, to Jiang Zhuyang, Jiang Li is actually the superior.

Having seized the Jiang family's orthodoxy and possessing the appearance of Shennong, Jiang Li's status in the Jiang family is actually higher than that of the eldest son Jiang Zhuyang. Not to mention that Jiang Li has control over three families and is also a son-in-law of the Gongsun family and an honorary member of the Feng family.

All these circumstances allowed Jiang Zhuyang's supernatural powers to be fully utilized.

"The sky is filled with grief."
