Too much fruit

Chapter 975 Confucianism and Mohism
Above the sea, wind and clouds suddenly gathered, and the waves surged. A red dragon shadow appeared in the distant sky, like a mountain range across the sky. There was also a huge mountain carried by the dragon shadow. Its shape was so large that it could be clearly seen even from a distance of thousands of miles.

The clouds sank, and the Fairy Queen slowly descended from mid-air on the white clouds, saying, "Let's go to sea."

Shen Hou, who was not far away, heard this and looked at the dragon shadow in the distant sky, and suddenly realized something.

He had traveled all over the world and even sneaked into the Demon God Cult's hidden city, where he witnessed the appearance of Wushan Mountain with his own eyes. Of course, he knew that the mountain was Wushan Mountain. Now Wushan Mountain and the dragon shadow appeared in the distant sky, and Shen Hou immediately understood that the Great Venerable Lian did not want to confront Emperor Jiang head-on, and wanted to move the Demon God Cult's main altar away.

The Queen of Fairies is waiting for Wushan to provide support.

If Emperor Jiang wanted to continue to deal with the Great Venerable, they would definitely chase him, and even the Third Ranks under his command would chase him. Although the Great Venerable was also a powerful person, he also needed help to deal with those Third Ranks.

The Fairy Queen is the Great Lord's helper.

There is also King Xuanwu. He left earlier, most likely to seek reinforcements.

'The Great Master has other third-rank helpers overseas!'

This thought flashed through Shen Hou's mind, and he couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that the battle didn't break out. If it really broke out, he, a fourth-rank official, would be cannon fodder.

But then he thought again, since there was no fighting, then wasn't it that Shen Hou was destined to follow the Great Master out to sea?

For a moment, Shen Hou didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but no matter how complicated his mood was, he could only show joy on his face.

'May the emperor bless me and bring me back safely.'

Shen Hou prayed in his heart with a smile on his face, and set out on his journey with his rebellious mount Longxuhu.

The destiny of the Nine Provinces was unified, and Jiang Li's magical powers were finally expanded to their current limits.

Although five of the Nine Provinces have been affected by disasters due to a series of natural and man-made disasters, and the magical power of [I am the State] is no longer as strong as before, fortunately Jiang Li himself is strong enough.

He was able to defeat the Lord of Heaven with his own strength before. Now with the blessing of Jiuzhou and the Buddha Kingdom, Jiang Li's aura subsided. The leaked aura alone shook the space, so much so that his figure appeared double, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear.

"Even if it has not yet reached its limit, its power has already surpassed that of all previous emperors..."

Jiang Li felt the fullness of strength, and his aura changed from Tai Su to Tai Chi, and then reversed, repeating this cycle, slowly suppressing the leaked Qi.

"Just in terms of strength, I am already the best in the world. That is because my body is strong enough, otherwise it would be difficult to bear such power."

If he could later govern Jiuzhou and make Da Zhou great again, the power that Jiang Li could obtain would increase again. That was because his body was strong, otherwise he might not be able to hold on.

After adapting to the rising force, Jiang Li slowly fell from the air, and the people participating in this battle also gathered by the river.

Taibai Zhenjun and Momen Juzi had also returned. Seeing Jiang Li fall, Mo Xuankong clasped his fists in greeting and said, "The officials in Yangzhou, as well as the former governors of Yongzhou and Liangzhou, were all sacrificed in blood during the promotion ceremony of the Heavenly Lord and are confirmed dead. Unfortunately, Tan Wuwei escaped with a fake body, and Shen Hou was also rescued by the Fairy Queen and the Black Tortoise King."

After Mo Xuankong recounted the events in detail, he displayed the Dao Fruit of Pretending to Do Nothing.

After Jiang Li glanced around, his eyes fell on the fourth-grade Yellow Eyebrow King Dao Fruit and thought, so that's how it is.

Tan Wuwei's third-grade Dao fruit is Maitreya Bodhisattva, and the Yellow-browed King is Maitreya Bodhisattva's boy. On Sun Wukong's journey to the west, the Yellow-browed King built a copycat Great Leiyin Temple and called it "Little Western Paradise", but it deceived Tang Sanzang.

Tan Wuwei must have taken advantage of the Dao Fruit magical power of the Yellow Eyebrow King to make her substitute so real that the fake could be mistaken for the real thing. Even after her external Dharma image merged with the substitute, the strength of this body caught up with the real body, making it impossible for Taibai Zhenjun and Mo Xuankong to tell the real from the fake.

He acted openly with his fake body, and even died in place of his real body, while his real body was behind the scenes and was about to attack the Lord of Heaven.

Unfortunately, Tan Wuwei ultimately underestimated Tianjun and Jiang Li, and could only die with endless regrets.

"Tan Wuwei's true body has already died under my arrows, Juzi doesn't need to worry about it," Jiang Li comforted him, "As for Shen Hou, just think that he is not destined to die. Anyway, as long as he is alive, we will meet sooner or later."

"Yes."

Yin Tulong, who had been promoted to the third rank but still hadn't grown taller, stepped on the wind-fire wheel, crossed his arms, and said bitterly: "Let this traitor live for a while longer. The next time I see him, I will tear him into pieces and grind his bones to ash."

Obviously, after the blood sacrifice of the Heavenly Sovereign, the negative reputation of Shen Hou has increased tenfold and a hundredfold. Yin Tulong now wishes to chop this traitor who has harmed the sect's reputation into pieces.

Mo Xuankong paused, and said with some relief: "Dead... Thank you, Emperor, for clearing the door for my Mo Sect."

Jiang Li did not reveal Tan Wuwei's real purpose. He had no intention of clearing his enemy's name, nor did he want to waste any more words on this enemy.

After all, he is just a foolish man who has gone to extremes.

Mo Xuankong did not mourn for this traitor too much. After knowing Tan Wuwei's fate, he let the matter go and gave away the fake Tan Wuwei's Dao fruit, saying: "This is not the Dao fruit of Mo Sect, so the emperor will accept it."

The Taoist fruits contained in Tan Wuwei's substitute are all related to Buddhism. Jiang Li now has a close relationship with the Buddhist country, so he can do him a favor.

He accepted the Dao Fruit without any pretense, then looked at everyone and said, "The Heavenly Monarch has been defeated, but his influence has not been eliminated. Master, please go and help Senior Sister to eliminate the remaining followers of the Heavenly Monarch."

"Yin Tulong, you now need to go through a killing calamity. You will lead the imperial army to cut down the mountains, destroy the temples, and annihilate the Shangqing Sect."

"Grand Priest, there should still be some people alive in the three states. Everyone in the Imperial Academy is familiar with the southern area, so the Imperial Academy will conduct the search and rescue."

"I will personally lead my disciples to search for survivors." Mo Yiling, the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy, said directly.

Jiang Li nodded, then looked at Mo Xuankong and said, "Yue Wang Ji Wen is so mad that he has spread the plague in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou. I have now used my magical powers to eliminate the plague, but the infected people still need treatment and care to prevent the disease from recurring. I will have to trouble Mo Men to take care of this matter."

"It is my duty." Mo Xuankong agreed immediately. There was a hint of joy in his voice, because since the emperor had used the Mohist School, it meant that he had the idea of ​​using Mohism.

Although curing the sick is time-consuming, laborious and risky, it is also an excellent way to gain fame. If there is no idea of ​​using Mohism, the emperor would not have entrusted such a matter to Mohism.

The chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy was an experienced person. When he saw Jiang Li and Mo Men chatting for a long time, he had already seen something was going on. He decisively said that he would personally lead people to search for survivors. He also wanted to gain fame and suppress Mo Men.

"And my dear nephew——"

Jiang Li looked at Master Taibai and said, "I am very pleased that you have made amends for your mistakes. I will forgive you for your previous crime of disobedience."

Master Taibai looked gloomy and said solemnly, "No need. You have spared my life, and I will spare your life in return in the future. This time, I have broken through and then rebuilt. I have seen the way forward clearly, and the realm of the strongest is not far away."

It seems that True Lord Taibai is planning to settle accounts with Uncle Jiang after he becomes the strongest person.

It’s the tone of voice...
Don’t be fooled by your poverty in middle age.

"If you have the ambition, I am always waiting for you."

Jiang Li fulfilled his nephew's dream, and then looked at the princess and the Rain Master Yuanjun, saying, "Dinghu Sect is empty, please ask Yuanjun to go back and take charge first. We have been away from the Divine Capital for a long time, and I am afraid that there are a lot of court affairs to deal with. Please ask the princess to return first and take charge of the government for me."

After dealing with other matters, Jiang Li did not forget the conflict between Tianxuan and Yu Shi Yuanjun. The conflict was temporarily put aside because of the war. Now that Tianjun is dead, Tianxuan is probably going to bring up the matter of Emperor Jiang's philandering.

So, Jiang Li separated the two of them... no, he should include the eldest princess. He separated the three of them and delayed them a little so that he would have time to use his amazing wisdom to solve the problem.

Upon hearing this, the Princess and Yu Shi Yuanjun agreed without any change of expression, and Tianxuan also showed no change of expression and did not object.

Seeing this, Jiang Li felt something was wrong. After all, Tian Xuan was never someone to be trifled with. But when the time came, he could only deal with it as it came.

"It's all your fault."

Thinking of this, Jiang Li gave the Great Master a severe remark.

Sooner or later, he will have to pay back this debt.

Afterwards, Jiang Li bestowed rewards on Lunjianhai and Yuxu Temple, promised that Dongkunxu would be the Taoist temple of Yuxu Temple, and agreed that the court would call on swordsmen from all over the world to hold a sword competition on behalf of Lunjianhai.

After everything was settled, the Imperial Academy Chief Academician and Mo Xuankong left immediately.

Whether searching for survivors or treating patients, it requires manpower and material resources, and it takes time, so we cannot waste time.

Tianxuan glanced at Jiang Li with a half-smile, then turned into starlight to look for Gongsun Qingyue.

Yin Tulong also followed on his Wind Fire Wheels, and later took charge of the imperial heavenly soldiers.

True Lord Taibai did not want to stay here any longer, so he flew directly to Liangzhou on his sword, probably to find Lord Dao.

Soon, the only people present were the eldest princess, Yu Shi Yuanjun, Taoist Guangcheng, and the chief of the Sword Discussion Sea - Shang Jianling.

As for Jingyang Jun, who was the second in command, he had gone to another battlefield before and fought alongside the heavenly soldiers.

Jiang Li looked at Shang Jianling, put his hands behind his back, and took a few steps closer. He looked at the chief of Lunjianhai with a half-smile on his face, "When you practice the critical moment to the extreme, the sword energy in your body is condensed into a line. It can be said to be a first-class assassination technique."

The power of the third-rank strong man was condensed into a line. Although it was only a line, its power...even Jiang Li would be amazed by it.

If this method were used to assassinate, I wonder how many people in the world could withstand it.

"Assassination is ultimately a last resort and is not something that can be tolerated in a high-class society."

Shang Jianling answered calmly, his aura changed subtly, and his handsome face even had a faint metallic hue.

"Puppet?" Taoist Guangcheng noticed something unusual at the first moment and couldn't help but ask, "And this aura... is the Tianzhi sword energy of the Mo Sect. You are Mo Xuankong!"

Mo Xuankong had already left, but his aura appeared on Shang Jianling, and at this time, the vitality in Shang Jianling's body gradually dissipated, revealing his cold nature.

This body is actually made of metal.

"Using the Dao Fruit of the Golden God Rushou to disguise the Dao Fruit of the White Tiger is a good idea. This body should also have been created using magical powers, right?" Jiang Li looked at Shang Jianling, but there was no sign of surprise on his face.

I had thought about what identity Mo Men Ju Zi would come in before, and now the mystery is revealed. The public identity of the head of Mo Men is none other than the chief of Lun Jian Hai - Shang Jianling.

Shang Jianling took the initiative to reveal his identity after Jiang Li spoke, which undoubtedly expressed his intention.

Even the fact that Mo Xuankong had previously used the "critical moment" method to kill Tan Wuwei was in itself an act of revealing his identity.

"Do you want to allow Mohism to enter the court?" Jiang Li asked.

Shang Jianling nodded and said, "The emperor should also need Mohism to oppose Confucianism."

"Why?" Jiang Li looked interested.

"Because the emperor does not trust the Imperial Academy's chief academician."
