Da Qin: Become stronger and immortal by picking up attributes from the battlefield

In the primordial era, in the Qin Dynasty, inside the Crown Prince's palace.

Zhao Feng slowly opened his eyes and murmured to himself, "I underestimated the saints of that world."

Zhao Feng originally thought that with his divine sense and the concealment of his own strength, he would be able to infiltrate and investigate the so-called Heavenly Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, Jehovah saw through their true nature the moment they met.

really.

Even saints from other worlds should not be underestimated.

However, the trip was not without its rewards.

At least.

Zhao Feng saw Jehovah with his own eyes and gained a preliminary understanding of the so-called supreme god.

"The world of gods..."

A sense of urgency rose in Zhao Feng's heart.

A world with seven Saint-level powerhouses is like a sword hanging over the Qin Dynasty and the entire prehistoric world, ready to fall at any moment.

Therefore, Zhao Feng must also break through as soon as possible and take that final step.

Only by attaining the Dao and achieving primordial unity can one truly take the initiative in the unpredictable changes of the future.

Think no more.

Zhao Feng focused his mind on his body, continuing to break through the barrier that led to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

……

at the same time.

The westward-bound party had already left the territory of Dongsheng Shenzhou and ventured deep into the heart of Nanzhanbuzhou, covering tens of thousands of miles.

All that could be seen along the way was chaos and slaughter shrouded in the aura of calamity.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away from them, the eight major Qin armies expanding westward were also steadily advancing, expanding the Qin territory.

This day.

The group of master and disciples arrived at a mountain forest as dusk approached.

Just as they were preparing to find a place to rest, a brightly lit, opulent manor with pavilions and towers suddenly appeared in the valley ahead.

In this desolate wilderness, a place shrouded in calamity, such a paradise on earth has appeared, exuding endless eeriness.

Pigsy sniffed, smelling an enticing aroma of food, and his eyes lit up. "Master, Brother Monkey, there's a wealthy family's house ahead! We'll have a place to stay tonight!"

Sun Wukong, however, scanned the area with his fiery eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips. He didn't expose him, but instead transmitted his voice to Xuanzang: "Master, several Bodhisattvas and fairies are putting on a show here."

Xuanzang remained calm, his hands clasped together, as if he hadn't seen anything. However, his divine sense, which had returned to the level of a half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal, had already clearly perceived everything within the manor.

The so-called wealthy woman was actually the incarnation of the Old Mother of Lishan.

The other three beautiful daughters are the Bodhisattvas Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra.

only…!
Xuanzang frowned slightly. He could clearly sense that several wisps of gray calamity energy lingered around Manjushri and Samantabhadra, like a bone-deep infection that had penetrated deep into their very essence.

"Take it one step at a time." Xuanzang replied calmly, "If they are truly controlled by the calamity energy and have thoughts they shouldn't have, then we will convert them directly."

The Xuanzang of today is not the compassionate Tang Monk who couldn't distinguish between humans and demons.

Influenced by the ideals of the Qin Dynasty, he knew that being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to himself.

"okay!"

Having received his master's instructions, Sun Wukong felt reassured. He chuckled, shouldered his golden cudgel, and swaggered off with Zhu Bajie toward the manor.

Sha Wujing followed silently behind Xuanzang, cautiously surveying his surroundings.

soon.

The master and his disciples were then "warmly" welcomed into the manor.

The grand drama of "The Four Sages Testing the Mind of Zen" has officially begun.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The woman, who was actually the Old Mother of Lishan, got straight to the point, saying that she was very wealthy but had no sons, and wanted to find several holy monks to be her sons-in-law so that they could inherit her family business.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy's mouth watered, and his eyes darted between the three "beautiful bodhisattvas," his heart already bursting with joy.

Sun Wukong pretended to be impatient, scratching his ears and cheeks, jumping up and down.

Only Xuanzang remained calm and composed, chanting Buddhist mantras without being moved.

Seeing this, the Old Mother of Lishan and Guanyin nodded inwardly, quite admiring Qin Seng's composure.

however.

When Manjushri and Samantabhadra saw Xuanzang's dignified appearance, with golden light of merit flowing around him, a greedy red light gradually appeared in the depths of their eyes.

Calamity is quietly brewing.

Faced with the temptation of instantly becoming a quasi-saint, they were eager to try.

Quasi-Saint realm, ascending to heaven in one step!
What have I been striving for all these years of cultivation? Isn't it all for this day?

the other side.

The Old Mother of Lishan and Guanyin were still following the script, patiently persuading Xuanzang and describing a blissful life of wealth, honor, and beautiful women.

Pigsy, who could no longer contain himself, stepped forward with his large belly sticking out, patting his chest and saying, "Madam, please stop!"

"As the saying goes, a coarse willow basket is good for a fine one, and who in the world would complain about an ugly man? Let me, Old Pig, do this good thing! I'm worth three men!"

His impatient appearance made Guanyin and the Old Mother of Lishan smile, but it also made Manjushri and Samantabhadra's greed burn even more intensely.

It's now!

Close at hand!

Anyone who eats Xuanzang will become a quasi-saint who looks down upon all living beings!

"Do it!"

With a low shout, Manjushri Bodhisattva's feigned shyness vanished instantly, replaced by a ferocious and mad expression. Her body was filled with surging Buddhist light, but it was mixed with wisps of gray demonic energy. Where was the solemnity of a Bodhisattva?
"Roar!"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva directly revealed his dual-faced Dharma body, raised his hand and stretched out his arm, which quickly extended and grabbed at Xuanzang who was right next to him!
This sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise.

The expressions of the Old Mother of Lishan and Guanyin changed drastically. They never expected that a test would turn into a fight between fellow Buddhists!

"You've all gone mad!" Guanyin exclaimed in surprise, and immediately tried to stop them.

However, someone reacted even faster than her.

"Hehe, I finally couldn't resist anymore!"

A cold laugh rang out, and Sun Wukong's feigned impatience vanished instantly, replaced by a soaring fighting spirit.

He moved swiftly and stood in front of Xuanzang.

"when!"

The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Monkey King's staff) had appeared in his hand without him noticing, and he accurately blocked Puxian's powerful arm.

A deafening clang of metal resounded, making the entire manor vibrate.

A terrifying shockwave swept outwards, instantly turning pavilions and towers into dust. The false illusion shattered before this pure power.

The wilderness has been restored to its original state.

"You wretched creature, how dare you lay a hand on my master! You're asking for death!"

Sun Wukong's eyes widened in anger, and with a flick of his arm, he wielded the golden cudgel, which weighed 13,500 jin, as easily as a straw, forcing the two-faced Dharma body of Samantabhadra to retreat repeatedly.

"Brother, let me help you!"

Manjushri Bodhisattva also completely tore off his disguise at this moment and used his magic weapon - the Demon-Binding Rope.

The rope transformed into a golden light, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, bypassing Sun Wukong and heading straight for Xuanzang behind him.

He knew very well that as long as he could capture Xuanzang, everything would be over.

Without turning his head, Sun Wukong roared, "Fool, protect your master!"

"know!"

Pigsy also dropped his playful expression, roared, and brandished his nine-toothed rake, fiercely striking the rope binding the demon. Although he was lustful and greedy, he could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

In an instant, the battlefield erupted into chaos.

Sun Wukong fought two against one, single-handedly battling the two great Bodhisattvas, Manjushri and Samantabhadra.

Both of these Bodhisattvas were powerful beings at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. They had already become famous during the Investiture of the Gods period, and their cultivation increased even more after joining the Western Sect.

The strength is extraordinary.

For a time, they suppressed Sun Wukong, forcing him to retreat steadily.

Puxian roared, his face contorted with rage: "You impudent monkey, though you are powerful, today, we are determined to have Qin Seng's flesh and blood!"

Sun Wukong was enraged by the combined attack of the two, his anger blazing: "Two bald monks who have fallen into demonic ways, how dare they be so arrogant in front of me, Old Sun!"

He stomped his foot, and his body multiplied into countless forms, with countless Sun Wukongs appearing simultaneously to surround the two Bodhisattvas and launch a frenzied attack.

They quickly reversed the downward trend.

the other side.

The Old Mother of Lishan and Guanyin looked at the four people in the arena who had completely lost their minds, their faces extremely grim.

"stop!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva raised her eyebrows and presented the jade bottle in her hand.

The bottle tilted, and the Three Lights Divine Water transformed into a celestial river, sweeping towards Manjushri and Samantabhadra, who were engaged in fierce combat.

That divine water has the power to purify all things.

The two bodhisattvas were doused with divine water, which immediately suppressed the demonic flames on their bodies and slowed their movements for a moment.

Seeing the opportunity, the Old Mother of Lishan pointed her cane forward.

The seemingly ordinary walking stick transformed into a blue dragon that stretched across the heavens and earth. With a flick of its tail, it tightly bound Manjushri and Samantabhadra, rendering them unable to move.

"Stop it all!"

The Lishan Old Mother exuded an aura of power, revealing a terrifying cultivation level of quasi-saint.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong also withdrew his supernatural powers and landed beside Xuanzang. He pointed his golden cudgel at the two bound men and said murderously, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, these two bald monks have gone mad. Keeping them alive will only cause more trouble. It would be better for me, Old Sun, to kill them with one blow and send them to reincarnation. That would be a kind of liberation!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately stopped them, her expression changing drastically: "No! Wukong, they were only temporarily blinded by the calamity's energy. Please spare their lives for the sake of Buddhism."

Sun Wukong wouldn't listen and sneered, "When calamity energy enters the body, even immortals can't save you!"

"If we release them today, they will only become more ruthless once their cultivation recovers. Who will take responsibility if they come back to harm my master?"

"You're such a soft-hearted person, so lacking in womanly compassion!"

Sun Wukong's words were so blunt that they made Guanyin's face turn pale and then red.

"Rest assured," Guanyin took a deep breath and promised, "This humble monk will bring them back to Mount Ling and imprison them beneath the lotus throne."

“We chant scriptures day and night to drive away their inner demons.”

"I guarantee that this will never happen again."

Sun Wukong was about to speak again, but Xuanzang raised his hand to stop him: "Since the Bodhisattva has vouched for me, then this humble monk will give the Bodhisattva this face."

Upon hearing this, Guanyin bowed gratefully to Xuanzang, saying, "Thank you, Monk Qin."

immediately.

She dared not linger. She dipped a willow branch in the Three Lights Divine Water and touched the foreheads of Manjushri and Samantabhadra, temporarily sealing their minds. Then, riding on auspicious clouds, she hurriedly took the two away and flew towards the direction of Xiniu Hezhou.

Sun Wukong walked up to Xuanzang and asked, puzzled, "Master, why did you let them go? This isn't like you."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, his expression calm: "Killing them would be easy. But after we kill them, the Buddhist sect will surely blame us for this, which will not benefit the westward expansion of the Great Qin."

"Their karmic aura hasn't been dispelled yet, so it's better to let them go back. That will give the Buddhist sect a headache."

Sun Wukong listened, stunned, and nodded as if he understood but not quite.

at this time.

The Lishan Old Mother, who had remained silent all along, slowly walked up to Xuanzang and asked, "Qin monk, are you a person from the Great Qin?"

Upon hearing this, both Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie looked warily at the unfathomable Old Mother of Lishan.

Xuanzang's face remained completely expressionless.

Instead of answering, he smiled slightly and asked in return, "This humble monk also has a question."

"And which side are you on?"

The Old Mother of Lishan chuckled and said, "I am no one's person, just a rogue cultivator, barely surviving in this primordial world."

"But now, the Qin army is pointing westward, expanding all the way. Wherever it goes, demons and monsters flee in terror, and countless lives are lost."

"Qin Seng, as a Buddhist disciple, what is your opinion on this?"

Upon hearing such a pointed question, Sun Wukong scratched his head in frustration, and Zhu Bajie also dropped his playful grin.

Xuanzang remained composed, chanting the Buddha's name: "Amitabha. Since you are a wandering practitioner, you must have seen what Jambudvipa looks like now."

"The calamity is as vast as the sea, and all living beings are suffering."

“The cultivators turned into demons and fed on humans.”

"This world has become a purgatory."

"This humble monk's journey to the West is not to obtain scriptures, but to spread the Dharma."

"Pass on the laws of my Great Qin, pass on the way of making everyone in my Great Qin like a dragon."

"Only the destiny of the Great Qin, only the Nine Provinces Barrier of the Great Qin, can protect all living beings, sweep away this overwhelming calamity, and restore a bright and clear world to this land."

"Therefore, the westward expansion of the Great Qin was an act in accordance with Heaven and the people, a mission to save the world. What is wrong with that?"

After listening, the Old Mother of Lishan fell silent. She had lived for countless eons, witnessed the rise and fall of the Dragon and Han dynasties, the Wu and Yao dynasties, and the Investiture of the Gods, and had experienced countless calamities.

But I have never seen such a forceful, even brute, method of breaking through the calamity.

With the strength of a single nation, they fought against a cataclysmic disaster.

After a long while, the Old Mother of Lishan spoke again: "This old woman wishes to see the Crown Prince of Qin."

Xuanzang smiled slightly: "If my mother wishes to see me, she may go. Our Great Qin embraces all rivers and never refuses guests."

The Old Mother of Lishan nodded and said, "Thank you."

She swayed and disappeared from the spot.

Sun Wukong stepped forward and said, "Master, this old woman is acting very mysteriously. I don't know if she's a friend or foe."

"It's alright," Xuanzang said calmly. "If she goes to Qin, the Emperor and the Crown Prince will decide. Let's continue on our way."

He mounted his horse and continued westward.

……

Xiniu Hezhou, a sacred and spiritual land.

Great Leiyin Temple.

Guanyin Bodhisattva returned riding on auspicious clouds.

Behind her followed Manjushri and Samantabhadra, whose minds had been temporarily sealed by the power of the Three Lights Divine Water and the Azure Dragon Staff.

"World Honored One!"

Guanyin bowed to the Tathagata Prabhutaratna on the lotus throne and explained what had happened.

The Tathagata opened his eyes, looked at the two bodhisattvas who were in a sorry state, and did not get angry, but just sighed softly.

He raised his hand and pointed it at the two of them in mid-air.

Two beams of pure Buddhist light instantly entered the space between the eyebrows of Manjushri and Samantabhadra.

"Buzz!"

The two trembled violently, and the gray aura of calamity emanating from their bodies surged up again, even more ferocious than before.
