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

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the pressure of a Quasi-Saint at the peak of his power descended upon the Tathagata.

Behind him, the phantom of a ten-thousand-foot-tall golden Buddha appeared, and the phantom of a golden lotus of merit slowly rotated at his feet.

The immense Buddhist power pressed down fiercely on the calamity energy within the two individuals.

"puff!"

Manjushri and Samantabhadra simultaneously spat out a mouthful of golden blood mixed with gray streaks, their faces turning deathly pale, but the madness in their eyes had finally subsided for the time being.

They regained their senses and, recalling everything that had happened in the manor, their faces instantly drained of color.

"Disciple...disciple deserves to die!"

Manjushri Bodhisattva knelt on the ground.

"Please punish me, Your Holiness!"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva also looked terrified and frightened, and repeatedly kowtowed to Prabhutaratna Buddha.

They never imagined that they would have the idea of ​​devouring Qin Seng's flesh and blood, and even turn against their fellow disciples with weapons.

The Buddha of Many Treasures spoke calmly, his vast voice echoing, "This matter is not your fault."

“Now, in the Southern Continent, the calamity has reached its peak. Even Quasi-Saints may have their Dao Hearts eroded, let alone you.”

He looked up to the east, “That place has long been a living hell. Demon cultivators corrupted by the calamity energy see mortals as food, devouring each other, just to find a sliver of life in that boundless slaughter.”

"This catastrophe is completely out of control."

The words of the Tathagata Many Treasures sent a chill down the spines of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present.

Even Bodhisattvas at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal in Buddhism cannot escape it, so what about others?
Just how chaotic will this world become?
After a long silence, the Buddha of Many Treasures finally rose from his lotus throne and said, "Come with me."

He turned and walked towards the back mountain of the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Guanyin and other Bodhisattvas immediately followed.

The place they were going to was the forbidden land of Mount Ling, the place of quiet cultivation for the Buddhas of the past and the Buddhas of the future.

By now.

This great calamity is beyond what he, a Buddha in his present life, can bear alone.

The Future Buddha Palace is serene and solemn.

The ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp sits cross-legged under a glass lamp, his eyes slightly closed, as if nothing is bothering him.

Maitreya Buddha, on the other hand, still had that same smiling face, with his big belly sticking out, as if the sky falling down had nothing to do with him.

When the Buddha of Many Treasures led a group of bodhisattvas into the hall, Maitreya finally turned his gaze towards them.

The Buddha of Many Treasures bowed respectfully to the two, saying, "Dipankara Buddha, Maitreya Buddha."

Dipankara Buddha slowly opened his eyes, his voice calm: "What is it?"

The Tathagata of Many Treasures briefly stated, "The calamity has spiraled out of control, and the journey to the West is no longer about obtaining the scriptures. Jambudvipa has been turned into a blood-soaked wasteland, and even some of my Buddhist disciples show signs of falling into demonic possession."

"This calamity has far exceeded our expectations. I wonder if you two have any good solutions?"

After listening, Dipankara Buddha's face remained calm and composed: "You are the Buddha of the present, the master of Mount Sumeru. The fate of this calamity is up to you to decide."

With just one sentence, he absolved himself of all responsibility.

Duobao Tathagata's expression darkened, and he turned to look at Maitreya Buddha beside him.

Maitreya Buddha continued to smile: "Buddha, the great calamity is uncontrollable, it is destiny. All our Buddhist sect can do now is to protect ourselves as much as possible and prevent more disciples from being corrupted by the calamity and falling into the demonic path."

"In my opinion, we might be able to seek help from the Qin court in this matter."

"Prince Zhao Feng of Qin possesses the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus. This treasure represents the pinnacle of purification and should be able to restrain the calamity."

Upon hearing this, Tathagata Duobao immediately said, "The Qin court's intention to destroy our Buddhist sect has not given up. Their westward journey to spread the Dharma has made their intentions crystal clear. Why would they lend a helping hand at such a time?"

"They would love for my Buddhist community to perish along with this world in this great calamity."

Maitreya Buddha's smile deepened, and he said calmly, "That's not necessarily true."

immediately.

Maitreya slowly sat up straight and looked at Duobao Tathagata: "Fellow Daoist, if I can persuade Qin Ting to ask the Crown Prince of Qin to help our Buddhist sect overcome this calamity."

"Once this great calamity ends, I want 60% of the merits and fortune from this great tribulation."

This statement came out.

The entire Buddhist palace fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Even the usually calm and composed face of the Dipankara Buddha showed a slight ripple.

The Buddha of Many Treasures stared wide-eyed at Maitreya in disbelief.

60%!

This is simply a big opening for a lion!
The Great Tribulation of Journey to the West is the foundation for the great prosperity of Buddhism. The merits and fortune contained within it are so vast that even saints are moved by them.

Maitreya actually wanted to swallow most of it in one gulp?
Maitreya, however, seemed oblivious to the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, continuing to smile as he looked at Ratnagarbha.

Don't be impatient or impatient.

The Tathagata of Many Treasures was torn between heaven and man.

On one hand, there is the bleak future of Buddhism, which may suffer heavy losses in the great calamity.

On the other hand, the foundation for the future prosperity of Buddhism is about to be largely eroded by human beings.

for a long time.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Seeing this, Dipankara Buddha simply shook his head gently, then closed his eyes and remained silent.

"good."

Maitreya Buddha clapped his hands and laughed, standing up from the futon: "Speaking of which, back when the Great Qin Dynasty was still in the mortal realm, I had some old ties with it. This trip will be a good opportunity to reminisce."

With a flicker, Maitreya Buddha's avatar quietly departed from Mount Ling.

Without alerting anyone, he transformed into an inconspicuous streak of light, traversing the vast territories of Xiniuhezhou and Nanzhanbuzhou, and flew towards Dongsheng Shenzhou.

He moved with incredible speed, arriving outside the Qin territory in the blink of an eye.

however.

The Nine Provinces Barrier that enveloped the entire Divine Continent and the East Sea was like a golden curtain, radiating a vast and boundless human dragon aura, keeping all outsiders at bay.

The Maitreya Buddha had just approached.

hum!
The entire Kyushu barrier trembled violently!
On the golden light screen, countless profound runes suddenly lit up, and a terrifying aura, powerful enough to make even a quasi-saint city change color, instantly locked onto Maitreya Buddha's incarnation.

"He who comes is stopped!"

"Anyone who trespasses into the Qin Dynasty shall die!"

A cold and authoritative voice resounded from all directions.

next moment.

Dozens of figures appeared silently around Maitreya Buddha, surrounding him completely.

These people were all dressed in black robes offered by the Great Qin Dynasty. Each of them exuded a deep and imposing aura, surrounded by a dense and fierce aura of iron and blood.

Each of them has already reached the pinnacle of martial arts supremacy.

Comparable to a Great Immortal!

Dozens of powerful figures at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal suddenly appeared and surrounded an incarnation of a future Buddha.

Even with Maitreya Buddha's magnanimity, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed across his eternally unchanging smiling face when he saw such a spectacle.

He watched as the Qin Dynasty rose from humble beginnings, but he never imagined that the Qin Dynasty would have such a profound foundation.

Dozens of powerful Daoist masters were dispatched immediately upon being ordered to do so.

Such strength, looking across the Three Realms, apart from the Dragon and Han races and the Witch and Demon races of the past, has never been seen before.

"Amitabha." Maitreya Buddha put his hands together and bowed to the crowd around him. His face returned to its smiling expression. "This humble monk Maitreya has a long-standing relationship with Crown Prince Zhao Feng of your dynasty. I have come here specifically to request an audience with His Highness the Crown Prince. I hope you will all grant me this favor."

Upon hearing him announce his name and state that he had come to request an audience with the Crown Prince.

The dozens of Qin Dynasty officials present all looked surprised and exchanged glances.

The future Buddha Maitreya is a name that resounds throughout the Three Realms. However, they have not let their guard down because of this.

His Highness the Crown Prince's old friend?
Who knows if it's true or false.

Just as the atmosphere in the arena reached a stalemate.

Ying Zheng's grand and majestic voice echoed from the Qin Heavenly Palace high above the heavens: "Let him in."

Upon hearing this voice, the dozens of terrifying Qin Dynasty retainers bowed in unison without the slightest hesitation and replied, "As you command!"

The words fell.

With a flicker, they vanished into the void without a trace, just as they had appeared.

Followed by.

The seemingly indestructible barrier of the Nine Provinces slowly opened a gap, just large enough for one person to pass through.

A golden staircase paved with the energy of humanity and dragons extends from the gap all the way to the feet of Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha was overwhelmed with shock at the sight before him.

The discipline of the Qin Dynasty, the strength of the Qin Dynasty, and that emperor who sat atop the Heavenly Palace, able to command these dozens of Great Luo Immortals with a single word...

All of this was far beyond his expectations.

He composed himself, a smile unchanged on his face, and stepped onto the golden stairs, walking step by step toward the Great Qin Heavenly Palace.

……

The Heavenly Palace of the Qin Dynasty.

The moment Maitreya Buddha stepped into the hall, he was completely stunned.

The figure sitting high on the Nine Dragon Throne, wearing a black dragon robe and a flat crown, with a majestic face, was none other than Ying Zheng, whom he had met once in the mortal realm.

just.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was completely different from the mortal emperor he remembered.

He was surrounded by a rich aura of human destiny, and his aura was perfectly integrated with the national fortune of the entire Qin Dynasty and the dragon veins of this world.

In Maitreya Buddha's eyes, Ying Zheng was like a bottomless abyss, and no matter how much he used his Buddhist supernatural powers, he could not see through its depths.

how can that be!

Back in the mortal realm, Ying Zheng had never even set foot on the path to immortality.

How long has it been?
He has grown to the point that even he, the future Buddha, cannot see through him!

"Future Buddha, many years have passed, yet your charm remains unchanged."

On the imperial throne, Ying Zheng looked at Maitreya, whose expression was changing in the hall, and spoke calmly, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

Maitreya Buddha's heart skipped a beat. He quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, put his hands together, and respectfully bowed to Ying Zheng. "This humble monk Maitreya greets His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor of Great Qin. Your Majesty's dragon might is unparalleled, and your fortune is boundless. This is truly a blessing for the primordial world."

"sit."

Ying Zheng raised his hand, gesturing for the eunuch beside him to offer him a seat.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries...

Ying Zheng's gaze fell on Maitreya, and he asked bluntly, "The future Buddha is not cultivating in seclusion on Mount Ling. What brings you here from afar today?"

Maitreya Buddha chuckled, but did not answer directly. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "This humble monk has come here because there is something I do not understand and would like to ask Your Majesty for guidance."

"I have heard that some time ago, the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple and the Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun each obtained a Ninth Grade Pure White Lotus. They set up a great formation to purify the calamity in the area and protect countless living beings."

He narrowed his eyes, looking at Ying Zheng. "As far as this humble monk knows, the Pure World White Lotus has long since disappeared from the primordial world. I wonder where these two great powers obtained such a treasure? Could it be... that it is related to the Great Qin?"

He is testing.

They wanted to deduce the true relationship between the Qin Dynasty and these two major powers from Ying Zheng's reaction.

however.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng remained completely unmoved. He simply picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and smiled without saying a word.

Neither admit nor deny.

That calm demeanor made Maitreya Buddha's heart sink.

He immediately realized that his little tricks were completely useless in front of this humane emperor.

Since testing is useless.

Maitreya Buddha decided to stop beating around the bush, sighed, and said directly, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I have come here precisely because of the matter of the calamity."

"Now that the calamity is overwhelming, our Buddhist sect is also suffering greatly. Many disciples have lost their minds and fallen to the edge of the demonic path. This humble monk has come to the Great Qin to ask for a good medicine to save our Buddhist sect from this calamity."

He looked at Ying Zheng with a sincere expression, "This humble monk wishes to ask Your Majesty to bestow upon me the Pure White Lotus."

Ying Zheng put down his teacup and said calmly, "Future Buddha, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

He leaned forward slightly, an invisible imperial aura spreading out: "The Buddhist sect and my Great Qin have always been enemies."

"Your Buddhist disciples are deeply entangled in calamity, which is a great blessing for my Great Qin. Why should I lend a hand?"

Maitreya Buddha remained unmoved, having anticipated Ying Zheng's response. He clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, please speak freely."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow, showing a slight increase in respect for Maitreya's decisiveness.

He appreciates this kind of straightforwardness.

"Since the future Buddha is so straightforward, then I might as well speak frankly as well."

Ying Zheng leaned back on his throne and said calmly, "I have no interest in your Buddhist sect."

"But what can your Buddhist sect offer me?"

Ying Zheng threw the question back at him exactly as it was.

Silence fell over the main hall for a moment.

For the first time, the smile on Maitreya Buddha's face seemed somewhat forced.

He originally wanted Ying Zheng to make the offer so that he would have room to negotiate.

Unexpectedly, this emperor was even more difficult to deal with than he had imagined, and he did not play by the rules at all.

There was silence for a moment.

Maitreya Buddha spoke again, attempting to regain the initiative: "Your Majesty is the ruler of the Great Qin, with the world in your heart."

"Please enlighten us, Your Majesty. As long as it is something our Buddhist sect can offer, we will certainly not be stingy."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng burst into loud laughter.

"it is good!"

"Since the Future Buddha is so sincere, then I will not stand on ceremony."

Ying Zheng's laughter ceased, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "I want the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus."

This statement came out.

The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face froze instantly.

Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire - Red Lotus!

That was the Blood Sea Styx Ancestor's innate treasure, unparalleled in killing and defense, and one of the most top-tier innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world!

More importantly, the Styx Ancestor and Buddhism are sworn enemies!

The Blood Sea Asura clan is currently engaged in a bloodbath with the Buddhist sect on the border of Xiniu Hezhou.

Ying Zheng's move clearly intended to send the Buddhist sect to fight the Styx Ancestor to the death!

Maitreya Buddha's voice was somewhat hoarse: "Your Majesty... this is no joke."

"A joke?" Ying Zheng smiled, stretched out his hand, and a flash of light appeared in his palm.

Two pure white lotus seeds, radiating a soft glow, floated quietly in his palm.

Ying Zheng looked at Maitreya and said, "As long as the Buddhist sect can bring me the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus, I will be satisfied."

"I hereby present these two seeds of the ninth-grade Pure White Lotus with both hands."
