Taiyi Dao Fruit

The situation was urgent, and Guanyin didn't think much before emitting a golden light, shooting it into the Great Sun Tathagata Fruit.

She even silently recited a segment of the "Great Sun Sutra," sending a part of her own telekinesis into it.

Manjusri likewise waved his sleeve, scattering a large amount of golden light, countless incense fire thought power sent into the Dao Fruit.

Benefiting from the incense fire, the Great Sun Tathagata Fruit blossomed with ten thousand feet of Buddha Light, illuminating the heavens and earth, shining throughout the ten directions.

However, Jiang Li and Daoist Guang Cheng were not dead men.

Daoist Guang Cheng once again raised the Sky Flipping Seal, the Big Seal pressed down, its sky-collapse-like power descended, shaking Manjusri and Guanyin, making it difficult for them to attend to other matters. Meanwhile, Jiang Li once again condensed a divine arrow, aiming at Jiang Liuguang.

[What exactly did the Great Venerable discover? Forcing Jiang Li to accept the situation of the Emperor Dao Fruit, could it be caused by this Dao Fruit before them?]

Lines of text floated before Jiang Li's eyes, voicing his doubts, but the Sun-shooting Bow did not pause, the arrow formed from All Heaven Divine Sha once again pierced the void, in an instant penetrating the near-extinguished Great Sun.

This arrow was enough to cause Jiang Liuguang to die on the spot.

Even though he was of the third grade, he would fall before the Sun-shooting Bow.

The compatibility between the Sun-shooting Bow and the Golden Crow was too poor, so poor that even if Jiang Zhuyang came, there was a probability of endangering the Golden Crow's life.

The arrow pierced through the Sun Wheel, extinguishing the last ray of light, a faint phantom shattered under the arrow.

[That was wearing a golden twelve-layered gown, with magatama around the neck, that was—]

"Heavenly Light Dao Fruit?" Jiang Li frowned, already sensing something amiss.

The Heavenly Eye saw clearly the appearance of that phantom and also saw Jiang Liuguang's true form, this Jiang family's third-rank strong person collapsed entirely into a ray of light, bringing with it the pure saintly aura of Buddhism, streaking through the void, merging with the Buddha Light emitted by the Great Sun Tathagata Fruit.

Jiang Liuguang was not a physical body... or rather, no such person existed!

The ten thousand feet of Buddha Light merged into this brilliance and Buddha's energy, suddenly manifesting various Dharma Forms. There were Riding Deer Arhat Dharma Form, Crossing River Arhat Dharma Form, Happy Arhat Dharma Form...

The Arhat Dharma Forms that died at the hands of Jiang Li were all among them, even the Dharma Forms of Arhats in the existing Buddhist Country also appeared among them.

Following the Arhat Dharma Forms were the Eight Heavenly Dragons and Wide Power Bodhisattva Dharma Form, Vajrapani Bodhisattva Dharma Form, following them was the Moonlight Bodhisattva Dharma Form, and... Guanyin Bodhisattva Dharma Form.

The final two Dharma Forms were not as solid as those before, but already showed outlines, carrying their own aura.

After the various Dharma Forms manifested, they merged as one, auspicious energy filled the Buddha Light, a Dharma Form condensed and appeared.

Its body was like Yanfutang Purple Mojin Gold, shaped like a Bodhisattva, with a bun like a crown on its head, shining with various colored lights all over, dressed in silk clothing, sitting on an eight-petaled lotus seat, emitting infinite brightness, precisely the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Form.

As soon as this Dharma Form appeared, Manjusri's momentum grew dramatically, only to see his form retreat in the air, merging with the incoming Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Form, one palm supporting the sky, the golden handprint solidified, actually withstanding the Sky Flipping Seal forcibly.

"Boom!"

Space compressed to the extreme between the palm and the seal, indescribable pressure applied to the handprint, pressing on Manjusri's raised left palm, yet hardly making his left arm waver.

The sleeve slipped down, revealing the entirely golden arm, perfect and unblemished, filled with boundless force, with Buddha Light harmoniously permeating the body, revealing a rounding wisdom nature.

"Rise."

With a light shout from Manjusri, Buddha's energy urged the Sky Flipping Seal to rebound and transform into a phantom, disappearing, also halting Daoist Guang Cheng's offensive, making his form retreat violently.

"Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Form, Tathagata Undestructible True Body!"

Spectating this scene, Guanyin's face was filled with unending surprise, "Manjusri Buddha Friend, you...

The Dharma Forms of the Buddha Country can combine with the physical body to form a Dharma Body Golden Body, and its levels are divided into three layers—Arhat Golden Body, Bodhisattva Undying Dharma Body, Tathagata Undestructible True Body.

Currently, the Bodhisattvas and Great Masters of the Buddha Country, which are fourth rank and third grade, remain at the level of Bodhisattva Undying Dharma Body, the highest level of Tathagata Undestructible True Body is not achieved by anyone. Even the Awakened, without practicing a Dharma Form, have not formed this true body.

And now, the Tathagata Undestructible True Body has appeared.

"You have ascended to second grade... no, Great Sun Tathagata requires forming all Dharma Forms, you have not truly achieved that..."

Guanyin first questioned, then denied herself, saying: "You have condensed the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Form!"

Even with the assistance of Guanyin and Manjusri, Jiang Liuguang could not immediately condense the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Form. The Great Sun Tathagata Fruit was a second-grade ranking, forming its Dharma Form required an immense amount of incense fire thought power, as well as extremely high power and wisdom.

Jiang Liuguang was insufficient in any of these aspects.

At most, he could only use the Great Sun Tathagata Fruit to condense an outline, obtaining new strength to suppress wounds.

However, Manjusri undoubtedly met all these requirements, what Jiang Liuguang couldn't do, Manjusri could.

"There has never been a Jiang Liuguang, there has only been Manjusri's External Dharma Form."

Jiang Li, holding the Sun-shooting Bow, walked through the air, three eyes simultaneously observing the golden colored great master of the Buddha Country, "The Jiang family may indeed have a Golden Crow Dao Fruit, but no one can accommodate the Golden Crow Dao Fruit. The Golden Crow was actually a false body you synthesized from your studies in 'Qi Tomb', which is why Jiang Liuguang never revealed his true form."

He even borrowed the Dao Fruit of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu from Fusang, using it to forge a sun image, making the false appear real.

Daoist Guang Cheng also landed heavily beside Jiang Li, his expression grave as he looked at the aura-different Manjusri, saying in a deep voice: "You even used 'Gui Cang Yi' to obscure reality, deceiving both me and Fellow Daoist Jiang into not discovering the clue. Previously, when you fell into a disadvantage under my sword, it was because your External Dharma Form was not within your body."

Manjusri practiced 'Qi Tomb', renowned for its power, so even missing an External Dharma Form, in terms of prowess, he surpassed Guanyin, giving no room for error. However, because his attention was divided, he ultimately could not fully withstand Daoist Guang Cheng's offensive, which resulted in his disadvantage.

Until now, with Manjusri Bodhisattva transforming into the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Form, it returned to Manjusri's body, only then did he truly exhibit his full strength, even ascending a level compared to before.

"Indeed."

Manjusri directly acknowledged what Jiang Li and Daoist Guang Cheng said, at this moment carrying the confidence of a major accomplishment, responding to everyone's inquiries, "The Jiang family's main house was forced to leave the Divine Country, suffering heavy losses, from where would they find such a strong foundation, able in just a few years to produce another third grade."

"Jiang Liuguang may have existed, but with his talent, he would never have the fate of advancing to third grade in this lifetime. From beginning to end, the true master of the Jiang family has been this seat."

"The faith in Great Sun Tathagata in the Buddha Country was established by this seat, the Great Sun Tathagata Fruit was left by this seat, today's situation was also set up for this seat to condense the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Form. Only with Guanyin Buddha Friend's incense fire thought power offering could this Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Form initially form."
