"I think I can win."

The third person came to this place, interjecting into the conversation between the Great Venerable and the Daoist Lord, a familiar face that made the Great Venerable's gaze slightly pause.

The newcomer wore a robe with white base and gold patterns, his figure seemed to merge with heaven and earth, breathing in sync with all things. His handsome face faintly exuded a crystal sheen, possessing divinity's grandeur yet not losing humanity. Who else could this be but the Great Venerable's good brother?

However, how did this good brother find the two of them, and how did he approach silently?

The Great Venerable and Daoist Lord were watching a show here; not even Manjusri noticed, unaware there were two spectators from afar. Jiang Li's power was inferior to the current Manjusri by a significant margin, yet he was able to discover the two and even approach at such close range.

Not long ago, this avatar of the Great Venerable had met with Jiang Li; although he hadn't completely seen through Jiang Li, after a brief exchange, he had roughly gauged him. The Great Venerable knew that Jiang Li did not possess such ability at that time.

And now, in just over a day, this good brother had already made progress, it was indeed strange.

"Ha."

The Great Venerable let out a laugh and said, "Dear brother, I am testing Daoist Li's eye power, your appearance has somewhat disturbed the mood."

"Does big brother think I will lose?" Jiang Li also smiled, not showing any tension in the face of an imminent battle, "And with the Daoist Lord's Wisdom Eye, he would surely reach the same conclusion as little brother."

"Oh?" The Great Venerable asked with interest, "Will you win?"

"I will win."

"That may not be, " the Great Venerable looked at the old Daoist and said, "Not to mention anything else, just this old Daoist would not let you win. He still needs Manjusri to take people back to the Buddha Country to hinder the Awakened."

This victory or defeat isn't just about the Jiang family's orthodoxy battle; the high and low between Jiang Li and Manjusri is also a continuation of the contest between the Awakened and the Daoist Lord.

The Daoist Lord needs Manjusri to take people back to obstruct the Awakened's path, preventing him from ascending in the most complete state.

While the Awakened wants to reshape his path to the Buddha Country, he also wants to put aside the Buddha Country to ascend to the Second Grade.

Their opposition adds another layer of meaning to this victory or defeat.

The Great Venerable, as one of the old monsters, is clear about the conflict between the Awakened and the Daoist Lord. Not to mention that his current avatar's identity is one of the Four Great Asura Kings of the Fire House Buddha Hell, possibly having met Taibai True Monarch and obtained information from him.

And his words also pulled out this obstacle of the Daoist Lord, while he remained uninvolved.

From start to finish, this troublemaker never stepped in personally, just moved some tricks from the sidelines, pushing Jiang Li forward.

As such, it's no wonder even though Jiang Li has delayed returning to the Divine Capital to take the Emperor Dao Fruit, the Great Venerable is not worried at all and hasn't done any small moves. At most, he is putting some pressure on his good brother right now.

As for personally obstructing Jiang Li, that's truly unnecessary.

Not to mention the words from the Princess beforehand, the Great Venerable's own intention is just to have Jiang Li absorb the Emperor Dao Fruit, not to drive him to death. If it really came to that, they would turn faces, and the early investments would be wasted.

Not only can't he take action personally, but he also has to pull Jiang Li back at critical moments to protect him.

"But don't worry, dear brother, with me here, I won't let this bull-nose harm you. If you lose, it's no big deal; just win it back next time." The Great Venerable patted his chest and said.

"Then I'll thank big brother first."

Jiang Li replied with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, then looked at the Daoist with white hair and beard, "Is there really no room for mediation between the Daoist Lord and the Awakened?"

"The Awakened's actions are too dangerous," the Daoist Lord said slowly.

He didn't state his decision, but those words were sufficient.

The Daoist Lord was determined to stop the Awakened from advancing.

"What a pity."

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Li sighed softly, "What a pity to let both of you down."

After speaking, Jiang Li stepped off the high cliff, walked in the air, and his Qi mechanism was exposed to the senses of the people in the distance.

Meanwhile, ripples slowly appeared in the Great Venerable's eyes, like the waves of a water pool, and his pupils undulated with the water waves, reflecting the situations of the other two sides.

The path originally presided over by Guanyin was a one-sided massacre, the Drought Fire was burning the monks to ashes. And in the middle path, Guanyin's figure could already be seen.

At this moment, Guanyin stood in the air, manipulating the monk's Buddha Light to bless Weitu, allowing him to battle Yin Tulong, equally empowered by the Heavenly Soldier. Meanwhile, on the other side, the White-haired Ape wielded an iron staff, clashing with the Master of Rain, the two...

'Hmm?'

The Great Venerable's Wisdom Eye was as sharp as a torch, detecting the two of them faking the fight.

Despite their convincing performance, in the Great Venerable's eyes, it was clear that "Wuzhiqi's" strength was far inferior to the Master of Rain. However, it appeared as though the two were evenly matched, and "Wuzhiqi" was not at a disadvantage at all.

'So it turns out it's disguised as this monkey; thus, the third-grade monkey that appeared on the Mountain of Mind and Heart is the real Wuzhiqi?'

The Great Venerable had an idea in his heart.

The ripples and light shadows in his eyes dissipated, and he continued to focus on Jiang Li's figure, on the impending great battle.

Like the Great Sun rising in the sky, Manjusri overlooked the finally appearing Jiang Li within the forming Sun Wheel of Buddha Light.

"Four people..."

He sneered, "Even if there are four, this seat will kill just the same. Jiang Li, it's time for the Jiang family's orthodox to return to this seat's hands."

The Ochre Whip and the Divine Farmer's Cauldron, these two heavy treasures, bring unparalleled benefits to the people of the Jiang family. Jiang Li's rapid growth owes much to these two heavy treasures.
