Too much fruit

Chapter 885 Crazy
"Jiang Tanyue, the Great Venerable wants you to accept the power of the Heaven and become one with the Heaven. It seems that he wants you to bear the fruit of the Heaven in the future. However, this move also has risks. If you are not careful, the Heaven will use you to descend into the world."

When Jiang Li stepped out of the ghost gate, a voice came from afar, as if coming from the dark, which made him surprised.

'The realm of the second rank is indeed much higher than that of the third rank.'

Jiang Li looked around and made such an assessment in his heart.

The moon was still bright in the sky above, but Jiang Li was no longer in the Lingtai Mountain of the Buddhist Kingdom, but in the Imperial Palace of the Divine Capital.

After talking with the Tathagata and answering his doubts, Jiang Li went back to the capital of the gods through the gate of hell to explain the relevant matters. He had just arrived. The distance between the capital of the gods and the Buddha Kingdom was so great that even the strongest could not cross it with their divine thoughts. The previous awakened ones who traveled with their minds basically appeared in Yongzhou.

But now, Ye Tathagata is able to contact Jiang Li who has already arrived in the capital of gods through the air.

This is even when Karma Tathagata needs to tangle with the true spirit of Poxun. At the moment, Karma Tathagata has not yet fully mastered Poxun's Dao Fruit.

This made Jiang Li, who had just become the strongest man, feel a sense of urgency.

As for the Great Lord's purpose, it is not so surprising.

The Emperor of Heaven had already revealed it before, and now it is just further confirmed.

'The Great Venerable's goal is to get the Fuxi Dao Fruit back, and the best way to achieve this goal is for someone to communicate with the Fuxi Dao Fruit, and even be able to carry this Dao Fruit in the future. So, he wants me to carry the Emperor Dao Fruit as a member of the Feng clan.'

'Then, I will continue to draw on the power of heaven. I have been the incarnation of heaven once, so my compatibility with the power of heaven is quite high. If I can pull the power of heaven step by step, I may be able to further differentiate the Fuxi Dao Fruit, such as the second-grade Emperor Fuxi Dao Fruit.'

Jiang Li reviewed the situation silently in his mind.

The emperors of all generations have carried the fruit of the emperor's way, but they do not have the blood of the Feng family, while Jiang Li does. This may be the obsession of the great master, or it may be a necessity, so the target is set on Jiang Li.

As for the Great Venerable himself, he is not a member of either clan and cannot inherit the Dao fruit of the Son of Heaven. The most crucial thing is that the Great Venerable is no longer on the path of human.

No matter how you calculate Zhulong's Dao Fruit, it has nothing to do with humans, while Fuxi's Dao Fruit must have some human requirements.

From this point of view, what the Great Master did was really beneficial to Jiang Li, if there were no risks...

Even the Son of Heaven Dao Fruit had the risk of assimilating his mind with the heavens, not to mention the complete Fuxi Dao Fruit. When the true spirit of the head of the Three Emperors descended upon Jiang Li, Jiang Li had little chance of resisting, let alone defeating.

The result of excessively drawing on the power of heaven is to turn oneself into a dwelling.

It would be good if Jiang Li could perfectly bear the power of heaven and allow Fuxi's Dao fruit to descend step by step, but it would be even better if Fuxi really came to the world.

Compared to a cheap brother, it is certainly better to have Fuxi, the ancestor, come into the world.

As for brotherhood...the eldest princess is not enough to make the Great Master stop, so what virtue and ability does Jiang Li have?

In the eyes of the Great Master, who has experienced who knows how many years, Jiang Li's importance may surpass that of the eldest princess, but this is because Jiang Li is a necessary person for him to achieve his goals, not because Jiang Li is his sworn brother.

This brotherhood was formed from the very beginning to achieve a goal for Da Zun, so how could he give up the goal just because of fake brotherhood?
Of course, if it has nothing to do with his goal, then the Great Master would not hesitate to treat Jiang Li with brotherly love, just like they did before.

"The Tao is ruthless but also sentimental, and the Tao is sentimental but also ruthless. To some extent, the Great Venerable is quite compatible with Daode Sect. His state of mind has undergone continuous transformation over the long years, and he has reached the level where he can decide whether to be sentimental or not."

When Jiang Li thought of this, he rarely smiled bitterly.

These strongest ones are more monstrous than the other. Compared with them, he, a novice strongest one, feels a little out of place.

The Great Venerable may not be as good as the Taoist Lord in terms of Taoism, as good as the Awakened One in terms of state of mind, as good as the Emperor in terms of power, and as good as the Heavenly Lord in terms of change, but he can be said to be the second in all aspects. And in terms of magic and Yi Dao, the Great Venerable can be called the first.

The world's number one troublemaker has been able to survive for many years without getting defeated, which shows that he is indeed very capable.

With the trouble-making nature of the Great Venerable, Jiang Li didn't believe that the other strongest people had never made a move on him. But the result has proved that the Great Venerable may not be the strongest, but the other strongest people can't do anything to the Great Venerable.

"Fortunately, from the current point of view, the Great Master will not really stand against me. As for the future...it all depends on who has the better skills."

Anyway, Jiang Li has gained a slight advantage now. He did not contain the Dao Fruit of the Son of Heaven, but the Dao Fruit of the Green Emperor, and the Great Venerable was not aware of it.

Jiang Li collected his thoughts and said softly, "Nanli Palace."

The space moved, the surrounding scene changed, and Jiang Li came directly to Nanli Palace.

The majestic aura emanated directly outwards, directly alarming the female servants in Nanli Palace. A series of extraordinary auras rose up, but were stopped the next moment.

"Go back."

The eldest princess's order came from the Suzaku Palace, and all the exposed aura was restrained.

Seeing this, Jiang Li said nothing and went straight into the Suzaku Palace.

In the vermilion palace, there was a bright fire burning. The eldest princess was still wearing a vermilion palace skirt, sitting reclining. The long skirt was like the tail feathers of a vermilion bird, dragging on the ground. A blazing and majestic aura surged around her, occasionally condensing into a starry scene, and suddenly transformed into a vermilion divine bird.

Obviously, during this period of time, the eldest princess did not just sit in the back, her energy had already reached its limit, and she had in-depth communication with Suzaku Daoguo, and she was only waiting for the summer solstice to arrive so that she could complete the promotion ceremony.

"Is the war in the Buddhist Kingdom over?" When the eldest princess saw Jiang Li, she was happy at first, then she relaxed her expression and asked.

Since Jiang Li came back and didn't seem to be in a hurry, it meant that the war with the Buddhist Kingdom was over and that their side had won.

"It's over. The Enlightened One passed away, and Karma Tathagata was promoted, but he can't take action in the short term. The Buddha Kingdom is now going to form a brotherly relationship with the Great Zhou. But to some extent, it is no different from a vassal state."

Jiang Li walked directly to the chair in front of the left side of the princess and sat down. He gave a brief account of the battle situation, emphasizing the evil intentions of a certain good brother, and threw the pot of the emperor's fruit on his head.

After all, the Ji family had always been in charge of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a member of the Ji family, the eldest princess did not mind Jiang Li taking the throne, but there was still a possibility of resentment. As a shrewd person, Jiang Li thought it would be best to find someone to make trouble for him. When the eldest princess heard this, she did not show any surprise, but a hint of coldness flashed across her face.

Afterwards, Jiang Li said, "I came back early because I had something to discuss with my sister-in-law. I plan to have the emperor die."

The emperor had passed away a long time ago, and if you count carefully, he died twice, once at the hands of Jiang Li, and the other time was when Jiang Li was carrying the Qing Emperor's Dao Fruit. Purple Air Coming from the East appeared in the sky above the Divine Capital, indicating that the emperor's Dao Fruit had a master. Anyone who knew the meaning of this celestial phenomenon knew that the emperor was dead.

However, on the surface, the emperor was still alive and was still recuperating in the Western Garden.

Now, Jiang Li plans to let the emperor die for the third time, so that he will die in the true sense. This also means that a new emperor will appear, and this person...

"You plan to ascend the throne?"

The princess was surprised at first, then she said, "Yes, you have already carried the Dao Fruit of the Son of Heaven. If you don't get it right, it will be detrimental to your ability to exert your magical powers. And with the Buddha Kingdom as a vassal, even if the Nine Provinces are divided, you can push forward your magical powers and get closer to the peak of the Dao Fruit of the Son of Heaven."

"I have made a breakthrough. I can take on the title of the strongest."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li lightly snapped his fingers, and the majestic aura suddenly transformed. His whole body became extremely tall, and the eldest princess seemed to be shrunk. There was a look of shock in her eyes, as if she was looking up at the world.

It was not that Jiang Li himself became bigger, but his aura directly suppressed the eldest princess, making her perception appear dwarfed, as if she was thrown into another low-level space, looking at Jiang Li as if she were looking at the universe.

The strange phenomenon was fleeting, and the next moment, everything returned to normal. However, Gao Yuan at that moment shocked the eldest princess so much that she could not suppress the shock and fear for a long time.

Even though she was about to be promoted, she had no power to resist Jiang Li.

After a while, the princess slowly exhaled and said, "The most powerful one... The Great Zhou finally has a most powerful one again. The political situation can finally be stabilized. But——"

The princess looked at Jiang Li and asked, "Are you Jiang Li or the emperor now?"

"Sister-in-law, do you think I'm the same as the late emperor? Do I look like I've lost my humanity?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows.

"No, but others can't tell whether he has lost his humanity," the princess shook her head and said, "The temperament of the emperors of all dynasties is actually the same as before they ascended the throne. They are just fair and selfless. If I didn't know the secrets passed down from generation to generation in the royal family, I would not be able to tell that the late emperor had lost his humanity."

If each generation of emperors had different personalities before ascending the throne, but became like robots after ascending the throne, then this secret would not have been hidden for so many years.

Even the princes did not know that their father had long lost his humanity and was still preparing to compete for the throne.

Although the emperor has lost his self, he can still play himself. And with the emperor's ability, he can play himself without any flaws.

As for the change in his style of doing things, becoming selfless, it can be explained by accepting the insights of the emperors of previous generations and changing his state of mind. The emperors of previous generations were all sages and wise rulers. Under the influence of their insights, the successors also became wise rulers. This is easy to understand.

Or do you think that the current emperor is a hopeless tyrant who cannot be saved even by the enlightenment of emperors of all dynasties, and it is very abnormal for him to become a wise ruler?
Jiang Li also knew the true situation of the emperors of all dynasties, but it was precisely because he knew it that it was a little difficult for him to answer the eldest princess.

Because his current situation is - to prove that I am myself.

"Sister-in-law, when Yuanxi and Qingyue come back, they should be able to prove that I am not as fickle-minded as the emperors of past dynasties." Jiang Li thought about it and decided to let Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue solve the problem.

Unexpectedly, the princess shook her head and said, "No need to do that. The proof is very simple. When you ascend the throne, the Ji family will certainly be uneasy, and the kings of various places will also be in turmoil. If you have lost your humanity, you should use the simplest and safest method to resolve the hidden dangers."

"what way?"

"Marry me." The eldest princess said lightly.

Jiang Li was stunned.

Jiang Li was deeply shocked.

When the princess saw Jiang Li's expression, she laughed as clear as a silver bell, "Now it's normal for me to believe you."

The eldest princess, who had always been fierce and strong, was laughing continuously at this moment, as if she was so happy that she even lost her composure.

Seeing this, Jiang Li also recovered from the shock.

Although he was quite experienced in political intrigue, he was still not used to such difficult political tactics and was actually shocked for a moment.

"Sister-in-law, this is not a joke..."

Jiang Li slowly closed his mouth.

He heard growing resentment in the eldest princess's laughter, as well as undisguised madness in her eyes.

The princess laughed for half a minute, then stopped as if she was out of breath. She leaned back on her chair and said in a vague voice, "Jiang Li, did you know that I had deliberately spread the news that I had cultivated the innate Qi? I ordered people to take out several batches of spiritual medicine from the inner storehouse, and asked the Southern Heavenly Division to collect precious medicines, pretending that I was practicing the Shennong Herbal Classic."

"But in the end... my eldest son-in-law is still nowhere to be found. You should know what this means..."

This means that even if the eldest princess is suspected of having an affair with Jiang Li, Feng Manlou... or the Great Master will still not show up, and he doesn't care.

"Before, I warned him not to set a trap for you to bear the fruit of the emperor's way. Now it seems that he turned a deaf ear to my words... No, he treated them as shit."

The princess suddenly spoke vulgarly, staring at Jiang Li with her eyes wide open. "Jiang Li, you said you haven't lost your humanity, so I want to ask you, do you hate the Great Lord? After bearing the Dao Fruit of the Son of Heaven, you will only have a lifespan of sixty years. No matter how talented you are, you will eventually die within sixty years like the late emperor. Do you hate him?"

Jiang Li: "······"

He had sensed an abnormal trend.

As expected, the next moment, the eldest princess said: "I want to cultivate the innate Qi."
