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

Deep in the North Sea, in the Demon Master's Palace, Kunpeng suddenly opened his eyes, his sinister gaze filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all changed color, and the human destiny surged violently.

Beyond the thirty-three heavens, amidst the chaos, the secluded sacred sites of sages also emitted waves of Daoist energy.

Everyone understands.

The real catastrophe, the most brutal and bloody chaos, is coming!
Quasi-Saints will no longer be mere spectators high above.

They will personally take to the field, transforming into chess players, and engage in the most direct and brutal battle in this blood-red game of chess!

……

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor suddenly rose from his nine-dragon throne, overjoyed: "Hahahaha! Excellent! What a wonderful way to follow the will of Heaven!"

Quasi-Saints descend to the mortal realm without restrictions!
This means that he no longer needs to rack his brains to design traps to lure Zhao Feng into a deadly situation.

He could descend to the mortal realm himself! He could bring the supreme divine might of the Heavenly Court and the thunderous methods bestowed by the Sages, directly descending upon the Southern Continent and Xianyang, utterly crushing the Qin Court, which defied the heavens, and Zhao Feng, who repeatedly challenged his divine might, into dust!
The anger that had been building up inside him for so long seemed to find an outlet at this moment.

Yaochi looked at Haotian, who seemed to be going mad, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the change in the rules of Heaven is indeed a great thing for our Heavenly Court."

Haotian turned around, looked at his Daoist partner, and said with high spirits, "It's more than just a good thing!"

"Yaochi, just you wait and see! I will personally lead the heavenly army to raze the Great Qin Heavenly Palace to the ground! I will make Ying Zheng and his son Zhao Feng kneel before me and pay a bloody price for their arrogance!"

"I, the Emperor, will show all living beings in the Three Realms who is the true ruler of this world!"

Yaochi slowly shook her head, walked to his side, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Qin Court is protected by the Nine Provinces Barrier and has many treasures to suppress the national destiny. Even if Your Majesty has the means of a sage, it will not be easy to break through in one fell swoop."

"Moreover, those Buddhist monks are all the kind of people who won't act until they see a clear benefit."

"If our Heavenly Court and the Great Qin fight to the death, and they sit on the sidelines watching the tigers fight, wouldn't that be giving them a free ride?"

Haotian frowned upon hearing this, but gradually calmed down.

Yaochi is right.

The Qin Dynasty is not a pushover.

The Buddhist community is not a place for devout men and women.

Although he had three attacks from saints bestowed upon him by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, those were his last trump cards, and each use would reduce them further.

If he fails to deliver a fatal blow and instead allows Buddhism to gain an advantage, then he will have nowhere to turn for help.

Although the Heavenly Court had joined forces with Buddhism and was planning to kill Zhao Feng together.

Now there's no need to use tricks to lure Zhao Feng anymore; we can just use troops directly. However, the Buddhist sect must remain vigilant.

Seeing that Haotian had calmed down, Yaochi continued, "For now, we should continue to unite with the Buddhist sect."

"Invite them to join forces and attack the Qin court together!"

"After we conquer Xianyang, of the vast fortune of the Qin court, my Heavenly Court will take 70% and the Buddhist sect will take 30%."

"In this way, we can both completely bind them to the chariot of my Heavenly Court and preserve the strength of my Heavenly Court to the greatest extent."

"With this ebb and flow, the Three Realms will still belong to my Heavenly Court in the future."

Haotian pondered for a long time.

It must be admitted that Yaochi's suggestion was mature, prudent, and the most prudent.

Although he desperately wanted to tear Zhao Feng to pieces with his own hands, as the ruler of the Three Realms, he could not let anger cloud his judgment.

for a long time.

A fierce glint flashed in Haotian's eyes as he made his decision: "Fine! As you say!"

"I, the Emperor, will now make another trip to Mount Ling to discuss with Duobao this grand undertaking of dividing up the Qin Court!"

The words fell.

Haotian took a step forward, transformed into a streak of light, and disappeared into the Lingxiao Palace.

……

Xiniu Hezhou, a sacred and spiritual land.

The Tathagata of Many Treasures was facing Manjushri and Samantabhadra in the main hall, preparing to make a real move against the westward transmission of Buddhism.

But at that moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up at the outside of Mount Ling.

The next moment, Haotian's voice resounded directly in his heart: "Buddha, how have you been?"

The Tathagata waved his hand, signaling Manjushri and Samantabhadra to step back.

He did not rise, but remained seated on the lotus platform, responding with divine thought: "Why does the Great Heavenly Venerable, instead of enjoying his blessings in the Heavenly Court, come to this barren land of mine?"

"Haven't we already discussed taking things slowly and drawing out Zhao Feng?"

Haotian's figure tore through the void and descended into the Great Hall of the Great Thunderclap Temple. He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of dominance that belonged to heaven and earth: "I have come to make a huge deal with the Buddha."

"A single transaction is enough to cause our two families' fortunes to soar, completely establishing our future dominance over countless eras!"

The Tathagata of Many Treasures felt a stirring in his heart, but remained calm and smiled, saying, "Oh? Great Celestial Venerable, you may speak frankly."

Haotian laughed loudly: "The Heavenly Dao has changed, and there are no longer any obstacles for Quasi-Saints to descend to the mortal realm! I, the Emperor, intend to raise a million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Heavenly Court, and personally lead a group of Quasi-Saints to flatten the Southern Continent and destroy the Qin Court!"

"There's no need for any more roundabout scheming or attempts to entice Zhao Feng."

"I have come here today to ask the Buddha a question."

"This supreme feast of destroying the Qin court and dividing its fortune—does your Buddhist sect have any interest in sharing a piece of the pie with my Heavenly Court?"

"Similarly, the execution of Zhao Feng is also under discussion."

Upon hearing this, even with the composure of the Buddha, Pāramitābhāṣā, his breathing quickened slightly.

Join forces to overthrow Qin!

Haotian, what great courage you have!
A long silence fell over the main hall.

In the mind of the Tathagata Many Treasures, countless thoughts were colliding fiercely.

Agree or not?

Agreeing means that Buddhism will engage in a life-or-death battle with the Qin Dynasty.

If they win, the fortunes of Buddhism will soar, and the current decline can be completely reversed.

They even took this opportunity to re-expand their sphere of influence back to Jambudvipa.

Defeat means utter ruin.

The entire Buddhist community may be reduced to dust in history in this high-stakes gamble.

The risks and opportunities are equally enormous.

Looking at the imposing Haotian outside the hall, who seemed to have victory in his grasp, Tathagata Duobao slowly spoke, his voice hoarse: "Great Heavenly Venerable, what makes you think that if we join forces, we will definitely win?"

"Ying Zheng is unfathomable, the Qin Dynasty is at its zenith, and the barrier of the Nine Provinces is said to be difficult even for a sage to break."

"What can we use to break through this?"

Haotian seemed to have anticipated this question and revealed a confident smile.

He took a step forward and came before the Buddha of Many Treasures.

Although he did not deliberately release his pressure, his imperial aura as the ruler of the Three Realms still dimmed the Buddhist light in the entire hall.

"That's all."

Haotian slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, three purple lightning talismans, swirling with chaotic energy and radiating terrifying fluctuations capable of shattering the minds of even quasi-saints, floated silently. "The power of a saint?"

The pupils of the Buddha of Many Treasures suddenly contracted, and he cried out in surprise.

He would never be mistaken; this power was definitely above that of a saint, and even the Tathagata of Many Treasures felt a terrifying sense of oppression from it.

These three forces.

Each one contains the power of a sage's strike!
No wonder!
No wonder Haotian is so confident!

Holding three decrees from the sages, who in the primordial world, besides a true sage, could resist him?
Let alone a mere barrier of the Nine Provinces, even Ying Zheng and his son Zhao Feng would be nothing more than clay chickens and earthen dogs in the face of this sage's power, utterly vulnerable!
Seeing the shocked expression on Duobao Tathagata's face, Haotian felt immensely pleased. He then put away the thunder talisman and said calmly, "Well, Buddha, now, what do you think your chances of winning are?"

Duobao Tathagata took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

He knew he had no choice.

The Way of Heaven has changed. With the Heavenly Emperor wielding the weapon of a sage, the destruction of the Great Qin Dynasty is imminent and cannot be delayed.

If Buddhism refuses, not only will it be unable to stop all of this from happening, but it is also very likely that it will be targeted by the Heavenly Court, which may even take the initiative to attack Buddhism first.

Faced with Haotian, who possesses saint-level abilities, Tathagata had to consider the worst-case scenario.

Moreover, the Qin monk's journey to the west had long been a major concern for Buddhism.

If the Qin dynasty's doctrine of "everyone is a dragon" were to spread throughout Xiniu Hezhou, then the Buddhist sect would truly be on the verge of destruction.

Thinking of this, Tathagata Duobao slowly rose from the lotus platform, clasped his hands together in a Buddhist salute to Haotian, and said, "Amitabha. The Great Heavenly Venerable's act of sweeping away the traitors in the Three Realms is in accordance with the will of Heaven and the people. Our Buddhist sect should do its utmost to assist him."

Upon hearing this, Haotian burst into laughter: "Good! Buddha is indeed a man who knows when to yield!"

He held up two fingers: "After conquering Xianyang, the Qin territory will be divided between our two families, three and seven. The territory of Dongsheng Shenzhou will once again be under the control of my Heavenly Court, and the territory of Nanzhanbuzhou will belong to your Buddhist sect."

"Of all the treasures in the Qin court's treasury, Buddhist sects may choose 30%."

"how?"

The Tathagata of Many Treasures remained calm and said, "Good."

In the past, he would naturally not have agreed; he would at least have tried to persuade them.

But now, seeing the imperial edict in Haotian's hand, which is the main force in this battle, it is only right that he takes the lion's share.

He knew that trying to win it back was futile.

If you are at a disadvantage, even if you try to bargain, you will only make yourself a laughing stock and waste your time.

"Ten days from now, my heavenly army will assemble at the eastern border of Jambudvipa," Haotian said finally, gazing at Tathagata Many Treasures. "At that time, I hope to see the Buddhist army of soldiers."

Tathagata Duobao nodded and immediately said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, rest assured, our Buddhist sect will certainly not break its promise."

Having received an affirmative answer, Haotian did not linger and turned to leave with satisfaction.

Watching Haotian's disappearing figure, Duobao Tathagata did not hesitate. With a flicker of his body, he flew straight towards the back of Mount Ling, the sacred site of the future Buddha Maitreya.

This matter must be immediately informed of Dipankara and Maitreya.

Future Buddha Palace.

This place is where Maitreya practiced meditation. The Buddha's light is gentle, and the Zen atmosphere is full of joy and freedom.

When the figure of Many Treasures Tathagata descended, Maitreya and Dipankara, who had been waiting there, opened their eyes at the same time.

Maitreya still wore that smiling expression: "Buddha, then Haotian, what brings you here?"

Dipankara remained silent, his calm, unwavering eyes fixed on Tathagata Ratna, awaiting his next words.

Without beating around the bush, Tathagata Duobao recounted his deal with Haotian and the story of the three saintly powers in detail.

Upon hearing the words "the power of a sage," even the eternally unchanging expression on Randeng's face couldn't help but be moved: "He actually possesses the power of a sage? Could it be that it was bestowed upon him by the Dao Ancestor?"

As the former vice leader of the Chan Sect, he knew better than anyone what a saint's strike truly meant.

That represents an absolute power that is unmatched under the Heavenly Dao!
The smile on Maitreya's face vanished completely: "In that case, Qin Ting is doomed to defeat."

He muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

If the Great Qin Dynasty were to fall, the vast and boundless human fortune would be enough for the Buddhist sect to receive even 30% of it, which would be enough to increase the strength of the entire Buddhist sect several times over!
Until then.

This future Buddha might be able to seize this opportunity to sever his third corpse in one fell swoop and truly enter the supreme realm of Quasi-Saint Great Perfection!

Looking at the two men's completely different reactions, Tathagata Duobao said in a deep voice, "This matter concerns the life and death of our Buddhist sect. I cannot make a decision alone, so I have come to discuss it with my two junior brothers."

After pondering for a long time, Ran Deng slowly said, "To negotiate with a tiger for its skin is a dangerous proposition; we must be wary."

"Haotian has endured countless eons of hardship. Now that he has gained power, he must have great ambitions."

"Although he promised to share 30% of the fortune of our Buddhist sect, after this battle, the Heavenly Court will be the only one that is powerful and unstoppable."

"If he goes back on his word then, what should we do?"

His concerns are not without merit.

To cooperate with a ruthless and cunning man like Haotian is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

Maitreya, however, disagreed and said with a smile, "Senior brother is overthinking it."

"Times have changed. The greatest threat to our Buddhist sect now is not the Heavenly Court, but the aggressive Qin Court!"

"That Qin monk Xuanzang, traveling westward, seemingly slaying demons and monsters, was actually spreading his twisted doctrine that 'everyone is a dragon.' Now, in Jambudvipa, less than one in ten people still believe in Buddhism!"

"The very foundation of our Buddhist community is being eroded inch by inch by him! If we don't stop him, within a hundred years, Xiniu Hezhou will no longer be the pure land of our Buddhist community!"

"When faced with two evils, choose the lesser. Our top priority should be to unite with the Heavenly Court and eliminate the Qin Dynasty, this major threat!"

"As for how to get along with the Heavenly Court in the future, that's a matter for the future. As long as our Buddhist sect can gain enough benefits from this battle and greatly increase its strength, it may not be without the ability to stand on equal footing with the Heavenly Court."

Maitreya's words were both reasonable and persuasive.

The lamp fell silent once more.

He knew that Maitreya was right.

The threat from the Qin Dynasty was imminent.

Such bottom-up methods, which subvert faith at its very root, are far more terrifying than armed conflict.

Looking at Dipankara Buddha, who was still hesitating, Duobao Tathagata spoke again: "Dipankara Buddha, have you forgotten that the Sage is about to return? When Master Yuanshi returns and sees that you, the former Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, have now become a Buddha of the past in Buddhism, what do you think he will think?"

Randeng's body trembled, and he gritted his teeth, "Fine! We'll cooperate with the Heavenly Court!"

Faced with the threat from the Great Qin, the three Buddhas of Buddhism finally reached a consensus.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

The existence of the Qin Dynasty has already affected the foundation of Buddhism. Now that the opportunity is rare, rather than waiting to be destroyed, we should take a gamble!
……

at the same time.

Xianyang, the Heavenly Palace of the Qin Dynasty.

With the change in the rules of Heaven, that invisible suppressive force instantly enveloped the entire prehistoric world.

Zhao Feng emerged from his secluded cultivation place, traversing endless space in a single step, and arrived inside the Heavenly Palace.

On the imperial throne, Ying Zheng had been waiting for a long time.

Beside him stood a young man whose features bore a resemblance to Zhao Feng.

It was Zhao Qi, the heir apparent of the Qin Dynasty.
