He was very sensible. Although he did not hold back when dealing with Dong Wanggong, he did not really think of killing him, because Yuanshi Tianzun was his brother, and no matter how big a mistake he made, Yuanshi Tianzun had the final say on how to deal with him.
Originally, whether Dong Wanggong secretly cultivated skills against the fairy world and heaven, or he openly attacked himself, they were all irrefutable crimes. But now that Jiang Lu has been caught in the crossfire, and he is not as powerful as before, he has undoubtedly become the scapegoat.
Putting all the blame on him is equivalent to finding a perfect excuse for Dong Wanggong and Yuanshi Tianzun. They both have to accept their feelings. It can be said that Daode Tianzun's plan is not bad.
Facing this groundless accusation, Jiang Lu thrust the big black halberd into the ground and pointed his finger at the other party: "How foolish! Acting on behalf of Heaven, what Heaven are you acting on behalf of? You don't even know who is plotting to harm the Three Pure Ones, yet you dare to say you are acting on behalf of Heaven?"
Jiang Lu had just become a god and was not yet stable. He did not want to waste his strength at this time. At the same time, he was concerned about the Queen Mother of the West and just wanted to stop Yuanshi Tianzun as soon as possible. If he could avoid fighting, he did not want to fight at all.
But he also knew that Daode Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun were in the same boat. If the situation was not explained clearly, he and Lingbao Tianzun, who had not yet shown up, would always be a hurdle that they could not get around.
Therefore, he was patient and wanted to see if he could convince the Lord of Morality while avoiding conflict.
After all, judging from the results, Yuanshi Tianzun did not bring anyone with him when he passed through the "gate", and when considering the follow-up, he only considered his two sisters and brother, Queen Mother of the West and King Father of the East.
This means that even though the relationship is close, Daode Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun have not truly received the absolute trust and unconditional tolerance of Yuanshi Tianzun, and can essentially only be regarded as partners of the Three Pure Ones.
In that case, you should be able to tell whether the other person is sincere to you or not, right?
Put yourself in their shoes. You can't trust them unconditionally, right?
"Wait a moment!"
So, thinking of this, Jiang Lu decided to tell the truth to the Lord of Morality, trying to gain this rare help:
"In fact, Yuanshi Tianzun is the guy who has been hiding in the dark corners and plotting to destroy the Three Pure Ones. Everything we are doing now is to save the Three Pure Ones!"
Based on the principles of journalism and with time running out, Jiang Lu planned to first put a hat on Yuanshi Tianzun, use a shocking headline to first grasp the Daode Tianzun, arouse his curiosity, and then slowly explain in detail.
But after hearing this, Dong Wanggong on the city wall was the first to lose his temper: "It's over..."
"What's over?" others asked hurriedly.
They hid in the palace when the seal of Jiang Lu Miaomiao's house was about to be opened, so they did not hear the speech of Lord Daode Tianzun, who seemed to have secretly checked the script.
Only the King of the East knew that this sentence was almost identical to what the Lord of Dao and Morality had said before.
He probably feels that his intelligence has been insulted...
As expected, the next second, the Lord of Morality became furious.
"Are you kidding me? Saying what I said again, you think you're funny?!"
As he spoke, he soared into the air, looked down from above, and angrily stared at Dong Wanggong behind him.
Obviously, he thought that Dong Wanggong had used some method to tell Jiang Lu about the conversation between them just now, and then Jiang Lu thought, well, this is a good reason, so he used it to perfunctorily deal with himself.
He copied the answers and then came to the person concerned to show off his integrity. He, the Lord of Morality, had never suffered such injustice.
Jiang Lu looked up at his angry face with a confused look on his face: "Aren't you a super hero, buddy?"
"Forget it! I should have known I shouldn't have wasted my time talking to you. You haven't changed at all. You're still so annoying!"
The Lord of Dao and Morality sighed deeply, then formed a seal with his fingers, one pointing to the sky and the other to the ground.
The next moment, nine alchemy furnaces appeared out of thin air, and the furnace mouths, spewing out tongues of fire, were facing Jiang Lu, emitting a dazzling red light.
Each alchemy furnace was as big as the previous one, like nine scorching suns hanging high in the sky.
"Nine...nine?!" Seeing this scene, Duke Dong couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and then a deeper sense of frustration surged in his heart.
I thought that even if I was suppressed by the Lord of Dao and Morality, it would not make a big difference, because no matter what, the King of the East was confident that he was better than all the immortals and gods except the Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West.
But unexpectedly, the other person didn't even use his full strength, but only used one-ninth of his strength to defeat him.
As expected of one of the Three Pure Ones, he is infinitely more powerful than other immortals and gods in the fairy world!
At this moment, Dong Wanggong couldn't help but think of a more terrifying fact.
There is also a Lingbao Tianzun who is as powerful as him and can easily destroy the world. Above them, there is Yuanshi Tianzun, whose hiding place is still unknown.
However, Yuanshi Tianzun was slapped into ashes by the main god of the forbidden land, and the Three Pure Ones Realm was annihilated silently.
The King of the East felt a chill down his spine.
At the same time, the Lord of Morality exhaled a breath of foul air, calmed his body which was trembling from exerting all his strength, and spoke slowly to Jiang Lu with all his strength:
"I won't look down on you. I can tell you that this is all my strength, so you don't need to say any more nonsense to me. If you can block my Yin-Yang Bagua Heaven and Earth Furnace Formation, I will never be able to stop you again."
"Do we have to fight?" Jiang Lu frowned.
"We must fight." Daode Tianzun nodded: "This is Yuanshi's request. I promised him, and I can't go back on my word."
"I understand." Jiang Lu nodded.
Jiang Lu suddenly felt that he was a little arrogant. He always thought that he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk. However, he forgot that no one who could reach this level was simple.
In their eyes, there is no right or wrong, only stance. They probably don't even care about what happens in the Three Pure Ones Realm. Yuanshi Tianzun has a backup plan, and they may also have other preparations.
Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that when the Lord of Morality saw me, his mind would be as clear as a mirror, right?
He had long understood that this was a conflict between himself and Yuanshi, and perhaps he had seen more from Dong Wanggong.
But he didn't care. Like Yuanshi Tianzun, he had his own thoughts on what he should do, regardless of anything else.
"Okay." Jiang Lu shrugged and said easily, "At least I recognize you. You are not just his lackey."
"It wasn't meant to be!"
"Okay, okay, whatever."
Jiang Lu tightly grasped the halberd handle in his hand, his eyes suddenly sharp:
"Luckily your strongest move is this..."
“Haha.” Daode Tianzun smiled: “Don’t be careless just because you think your big black halberd can pierce a Bagua furnace. Nine times... is just the number, not the strength.”
"I know, I know." Jiang Lu said impatiently, "It will be superimposed, giving rise to the two yin and yang, the four symbols, and the eight trigrams. I know."
He turned the big black halberd and said in a deep voice: "But my halberd is not at all disadvantageous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black halberd in Jiang Lu's hand turned into a stream of light, rushed into his body, traveled through his limbs and bones, and finally gathered at one point.
"I'll let you see the rich resources in my hard drive!!"
Jiang Lu shouted loudly, and then used the power of the divine realm to run the Dharma image program stored in the big black halberd.
Both the hardware and software were top-notch, Jiang Lu had no idea how he lost.
A strong yin energy surged out of Jiang Lu's body, and a storm gathered, covering the sky and the sun, as if foreshadowing that some terrifying existence was about to appear.
But suddenly...
"What? The account information doesn't match? How is that possible?"
Jiang Lu, who was performing a Dharma image, suddenly felt a stagnation:
"Only part of it can be matched? Is it because many parts are not original? Never mind... let's run it first."
On the other side, the Lord of Morality did not immediately let the alchemy furnace fall, but waited quietly.
"Let me see if you still have some of your past charm!"
soon.
A monster is reborn from its cocoon!
It looks very much like Jiang Bao, the only difference is that it is a giant Jiang Bao with an incomplete brain, or to be more precise, a hippocampus, and externally hanging kidneys.
Jiang Bao raised his head high, pointing his sword at the nine hot furnace mouths. The mouths opened and closed, and he shouted: "No matter who wins or loses after the fight, you are not allowed to tell anyone!"
Chapter 385 Destruction!
"you..."
The Lord of Morality was completely stunned.
He had seen Jiang Lu's Dharma image.
That should have been the same Dharma image as his.
He is majestic and domineering, just like himself, fearless.
For a long time, he envied Jiang Lu very much, envious of his ability to be disrespectful to heaven and earth and to be free. This was exactly the state he had been pursuing but was always unable to achieve because of various constraints.
Dharmadhatu is, to a large extent, the manifestation of the "Tao" that a person pursues.
Like the King of the East, he is a world tree that grows on the purest water without any impurities, representing his closeness to and awe of life. Like himself, he is the Bagua cauldron that can melt all things, which is in line with the Yin and Yang of Tai Chi.
No matter who you are, there is always something in the world that you respect from the bottom of your heart, whether it is concrete or abstract.
It may be that it has granted them their current achievements, or that it has helped them overcome past difficulties, or that it has made them feel sacred from the beginning to the end.
There are very few, or perhaps no one, like Jiang Lu, whose Dharmadhatu is an enlarged version of himself.
This can be said to be a great disrespect to heaven and earth.
He does not respect the nature that gave him everything he has now, but instead becomes arrogant and thinks he is great and God is second only to him. Such a person will not be tolerated by Heaven.
But he broke common sense. Not only did he really create a Dharma image based on his own prototype, but it was also incredibly powerful.
Not being restricted by anything and being free and at ease allowed the Lord of Dao and Morality to see a possibility, a path that might be able to achieve "Tao follows nature, and heaven and man are one."
He realized that respecting heaven and earth was contrary to his unrestrained pursuit. It seemed that perhaps the Taoist orthodoxy was in the underworld?
He had always wanted to figure this out, and the only way was to truly feel the breath of freedom in Jiang Lufa's appearance from the front.
But unfortunately, although Jiang Lu was a bad guy in the past and caused a lot of trouble outside, he was very friendly to the Three Pure Ones. He even claimed that he was a brother unit with the Heavenly Court and came to visit from time to time.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. His attitude is so good that it is not easy to provoke a fight with him.
Therefore, he deliberately distanced himself from Jiang Lu, and finally waited until Jiang Lu became too proud of himself and revealed the secret of Queen Mother of the West at the dinner table. He excitedly leaked what Jiang Lu said at the first opportunity.
He thought to himself, Queen Mother of the West only told you, and now the secret has been leaked, causing her so much trouble, she will definitely not let it go. You must hate me to death, and with your temper, you will definitely challenge me to a duel.
And since I did not reveal the source of the information, it did not damage the relationship between the fairy world and the underworld. It can be said that I killed two birds with one stone.
But what he didn't expect was that Jiang Lu was so cunning and had no bottom line at all.
After finding out that the leaked news did not mention his name, he simply started to play dumb and pretend that nothing had happened. He even stayed away and cut off contact with the fairy world and the Queen Mother of the West. It is said that he even pretended to be an uninformed bystander and asked around in the underworld for details. His acting was so vivid.
No one doubted him at all. After all, the news came from the fairy world, and no one would believe that the source would be someone in the underworld who seemed to have nothing to do with the Queen Mother of the West.
The Lord of Dao and Morality originally wanted to grit his teeth and reveal some more shocking information, but Yuanshi Tianzun, who discovered the truth, came to him and warned him to stop, so he gave up at that point.
This has always been a thorn in his heart. Not only did he fail to fulfill his wish to have a big fight with Jiang Lu, but he also became a big villain because of this, and it was a completely useless thing.
