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

"Buddha," Maitreya looked at Duobao and asked urgently, "What do we do now? We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

The Tathagata of Many Treasures slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the terrified Buddhist disciples below, and said in a deep voice, "Issue my decree. From this day forward, Mount Ling is sealed off, and no disciple is allowed to leave."

"Activate all remaining protective formations and defend with all our might."

"Block it with force."

"As for Xuanzang..."

Duobao Tathagata paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let him be. The more he makes a scene, the more attention he will attract from Mara."

"Once they are both weakened, we can then reap the benefits."

Ran Deng pressed on, asking in a deep voice, "What about Qin Ting's army?"

“They dare not act rashly.” Tathagata Duobao sneered: “I have sensed that, in addition to the tens of millions of troops, there are dozens of quasi-saint level auras hidden on the border of the two continents. Among them, there are even beings of the level of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Qin Ting has come out in full force.”

"The more they act this way, the more it shows that they are not entirely confident either."

"They are waiting, waiting for an opportunity to strike decisively."

"And we will not give them that opportunity."

"drag!"

"As long as we can hold out until our two sage teachers return, there is still hope for a turnaround!"

Upon hearing Duobao's voice, the Buddhist disciples below finally felt reassured and their emotions calmed down somewhat.

just.

Duobao was well aware that this was not a long-term solution.

With the Qin army pressing in and poised to attack at any moment, it was like a sword hanging over the Buddhist sect. How could the sect, with its incomplete formation and surviving disciples, possibly withstand it?

He had also sought help from Haotian, but his messages disappeared without a trace, receiving no response whatsoever.

The Tathagata of Many Treasures waved his hand, signaling the Bodhisattvas and Arhats below to step down.

As the temple doors closed, the Buddha of Many Treasures looked at Dipankara and Maitreya and said, "Fellow Daoists, please speak."

The smile on Maitreya's fat face was gone, replaced by deep worry. He said in a deep voice, "What else can we do? Qin Ting's army of tens of millions is stationed on the border and could cross the boundary marker at any moment."

"How can our Buddhist sect, with its limited manpower, possibly stop them?"

Ran Deng nodded, equally worried: "It's not just that the army is at the gates; Xuanzang has been traveling westward, spreading his heretical doctrine that man can conquer nature, which is already shaking the foundations of our Buddhist community."

"With millions of believers in Xiniu Hezhou, people's hearts are yearning for change, and the fortune of our Buddhist sect is slipping away every day."

"If this drags on, we'll collapse before Qin Ting even attacks."

After Ran Deng finished speaking, all three of them fell silent.

They should have been the protagonists of this world, enjoying boundless fortune, saving all sentient beings, leading the Journey to the West, and spreading Buddhism throughout the Three Realms.

But now, they have been forced into this desperate situation.

for a long time.

The Tathagata of Many Treasures slowly spoke: "Now that things have come to this, the only way is to take drastic measures to eliminate the root of the problem. Perhaps then there is still a glimmer of hope."

Both Dipankara and Maitreya looked at him simultaneously: "A radical solution?"

Tathagata Duobao nodded slowly, a cold glint in his eyes: "Xuanzang's greatest reliance on his journey to the West was that lawless monkey."

"Sun Wukong is a stone monkey born with great fortune, and is one of the key figures in this great calamity."

"If only we could replace him..."

"Replace Sun Wukong?" Maitreya was startled, then understood Duobao's intention and hurriedly asked, "Explain in detail!"

Duobao slowly said, "In the primordial world, there were four chaotic monkeys, each with their own supernatural powers."

"Among them is a monkey named the Six-Eared Macaque, who is good at listening, discerning reason, knowing the past and the future, understanding all things, and is also skilled in transformation. Moreover, this monkey has been cultivating deep in the Spirit Mountain, and now is the time to use him."

"As long as the Six-Eared Macaque kills Sun Wukong and takes his place, infiltrating the westward journey, firstly, it will cut off Xuanzang's arm; secondly, the immense fortune that Sun Wukong carries will be transferred entirely to the Six-Eared Macaque, which is also the fortune of our Buddhist sect."

"With this shift in balance, the current crisis facing Buddhism can be resolved."

Maitreya hesitated, saying, "This plan is good, but it's too dangerous. The Qin Dynasty has many capable people; if they see through it..."

"So what if they see through it?" Tathagata Duobao interrupted him. "At most, the Six-Eared Macaque will be killed. What does that have to do with my Buddhist sect? We can just deny knowing about it. What can the Qin Dynasty do to us then?"

He looked at the two Buddhas and said solemnly, "Moreover, we have no way out!"

Dipankara and Maitreya remained silent.

Indeed, they had no way out.

"Fine!" Ran Deng gritted his teeth: "I'll do as you say!"

Maitreya nodded emphatically: "Let's do it this way!"

……

On the other side, in Xiniuhezhou.

All that Xuanzang and his disciples saw along their journey were ruins and piles of bones.

Looking at the scene, Pigsy couldn't help but mutter, "How can this Western Continent be so desolate? What happened to the Buddhist paradise on earth? It's more like a hell on earth."

Sun Wukong scanned the area with his fiery eyes and chuckled coldly, "What Buddhist kingdom? It's nothing but a feeding ground for a bunch of demons."

Just as several people were talking.

Sudden.

A strange, eerie wind suddenly swept across the flat ground.

The wind was as black as ink, and had an unbearable stench, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Sun Wukong scanned the area with his fiery eyes and shouted sternly, "Where did this fiend come from, daring to play tricks on your Grandpa Sun!"

With a somersault, he rushed into the black wind.

In the wind, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Boy, sent by the future Buddha Maitreya to hold back Sun Wukong, wielded a spiked club and chuckled maliciously at him, "Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, you've come at the right time! Today I'll capture you first, then take Qin Sanzang!"

Sun Wukong was furious at such provocation and immediately roared, "You ignorant monster! Take this!"

He drew his golden cudgel and swung it down at the Yellow-Eyebrowed Boy.

The Yellow-Eyebrowed Boy calmly took out a golden cymbal from his robes and tossed it into the air.

The golden gong swelled in the wind, transforming into two enormous golden domes that emitted a "humming" sound, attempting to merge Sun Wukong into them.

"Little tricks!"

Sun Wukong sneered and didn't dodge at all.

The azure lotus banner bestowed upon him by Zhao Feng flew into the air, emitting illusory azure lotus shadows that firmly protected him.

clang!
The golden gongs closed, producing a deafening roar, but they couldn't harm Sun Wukong in the slightest.

While inside the golden gong, Sun Wukong simply shook his golden cudgel, and a huge hole was punched in the indestructible gong.

Upon seeing this, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Boy's expression changed slightly. He quickly put away the golden cymbal and then produced a cloth bag.

This is Maitreya's acquired bag, also known as the human race bag.

The bag opened, unleashing an unparalleled devouring power, threatening to take Sun Wukong and his magical weapons into it.

however.

The Azure Lotus Banner is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, impervious to all magic.

No matter how strong the suction of the human-shaped bag was, Sun Wukong's body remained completely still.

"Is that all you have?"

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he no longer held back.

He wielded the golden cudgel with tremendous force, each strike carrying the power to shatter mountains and rivers. The Yellow-Eyebrowed Boy, with the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, was no match for Sun Wukong. After only a few dozen rounds, he was struck on the shoulder by the cudgel, screamed in agony, spat out blood, and transformed into a gust of demonic wind, fleeing into the distance.

"Where to escape!"

Sun Wukong, seizing the opportunity, immediately set out to catch up and capture the demon completely.

Just as he chased after her...

A figure exactly like him emerged silently from behind a rock, carrying a golden cudgel, and returned to Xuanzang's side with a grin.

"Master, that monster has been driven away by me, Old Sun."

Neither Pigsy nor Sandy noticed anything unusual.

Only Xuanzang, looking at the "Sun Wukong" before him, frowned almost imperceptibly.

This feeling is so mysterious and indescribable.

Perhaps I'm just overthinking it.

Xuanzang shook his head inwardly, stopped thinking about it, and called on everyone to continue on their way.

The Six-Eared Macaque, imitating Sun Wukong, walked at the front to clear the way, with Pigsy and Sandy protecting Xuanzang on either side; everything was in perfect order.

however.

Just as they were about to leave this abandoned city-state.

Another golden light flew back from the distant horizon at breakneck speed.

"Master! I, Old Sun, am back!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and froze in place.

In the distance, another Sun Wukong with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth, wielding a golden cudgel, was rapidly approaching them on his somersault cloud.

Two... Sun Wukongs?

Pigsy rubbed his eyes, his mouth agape, and exclaimed, "What... what's going on? How come there are two Monkey Kings?"

Sha Wujing was also shocked.

The "Sun Wukong" beside Xuanzang, upon seeing the newcomer, immediately pointed at the flying Sun Wukong and shouted angrily, "Where did this monster come from, daring to impersonate your Grandpa Sun! Take this!"

Say it.

He leaped up, took the initiative to meet him, and swung his golden cudgel, smashing it down on Sun Wukong's head.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong was first taken aback, then flew into a rage: "Hey! You monster, how dare you impersonate me, Old Sun! You're courting death!"

Seeing the Six-Eared Macaque charging towards him, Sun Wukong drew his golden cudgel and unleashed a fierce attack.

clang!
Two identical golden cudgels collided violently in mid-air.

The deafening clang of metal against metal resounded through the sky.

A terrifying shockwave swept outwards, turning the surrounding ruins into dust.

The two Sun Wukongs separated immediately upon contact, each landing on their own side.

Their appearance, clothing, weapons, and even their unruly aura were exactly the same.

There is absolutely no difference between them.

Sun Wukong had already realized what was going on, and shouted to Xuanzang and the others, "Master! Pigsy! Sandy! Look carefully, I am the real one!"

The Six-Eared Macaque sneered and shouted, "Monster, stop with your sweet talk! Master, don't be fooled by him! He's the fake one!"

Pigsy and Sandy were completely dumbfounded, looking at this and then at that.

It's impossible to tell who's real and who's fake.

Pigsy stamped his feet in frustration, utterly bewildered: "How can there be two Monkey Kings? They look exactly alike, I can't tell them apart at all!"

Xuanzang finally understood where his previous strange feeling came from.

The Wukong who arrived first was fake!
However, now that the two of them are locked in a fierce battle, even he himself can't tell the difference between the real and the fake.

And this time.

After a heated argument, the two "Monkey Kings" couldn't agree on anything and started fighting again.

The two possessed extraordinary abilities and boundless magical power, and their battle was so fierce that it darkened the sky and obscured the sun and moon.

Whether it was the Seventy-Two Transformations or the Law of Heaven and Earth, the two performed it exactly the same, making it difficult to determine who was better.

Just as the two Sun Wukongs were locked in a fierce battle, neither able to gain the upper hand.

A ripple suddenly appeared in the sky above this land.

A handsome young figure, clad in black dragon-patterned armor and exuding an air of authority, appeared silently in the sky above the battlefield.

The visitor was none other than Zhao Qi, the heir to the Qin dynasty, who was entrusted by Ying Zheng to oversee the overall situation.

Behind him followed a dozen or so martial arts emperors whose auras were unfathomable.

The two Sun Wukongs who were engaged in fierce fighting stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

Xuanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing all bowed to Zhao Qi and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Zhao Qi nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the two identical Sun Wukongs: "What a clever trick of creating a real and fake Monkey King. The Buddhist sect has truly mastered its methods."

Upon hearing Zhao Qi's words, the Six-Eared Macaque was greatly alarmed, but he forced himself to remain calm: "Your Highness is wise. Quickly kill this monster who is impersonating me and restore my innocence."

The real Sun Wukong shouted, "You fiend, you dare to argue even when you're about to die? Your Highness, he's the fake one! I'm the real one!"

Zhao Qi ignored their argument and slowly raised his right hand.

hum!
An ancient and mysterious mirror appeared in his palm.

It was the Heavenly Mystery Mirror, the national treasure of the Qin Dynasty.

He flicked his finger.

A clear beam of light shot out from the Heavenly Mystery Mirror, instantly enveloping the two Sun Wukongs.

Under the reflection of the mirror.

The real Sun Wukong's appearance remained unchanged.

The six-eared macaque trembled violently and let out a painful scream.

His figure began to distort and change violently under the mirror light.

The hairy face and thunder god's mouth quickly faded away.

In the end, it transformed into a demon monkey that was nine-tenths similar to Sun Wukong, but with six ears.

Six-eared macaque!
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong roared and swung his golden cudgel to strike: "You damned demon, how dare you impersonate me, Old Sun! Prepare to die!"

But before the golden cudgel could fall, Zhao Qi stopped him, saying, "No rush."

He took a step forward, looking down at the Six-Eared Macaque, and demanded, "Speak, who sent you?"

The Six-Eared Macaque felt the terrifying aura emanating from Zhao Qi, and its soul trembled.

He dared not conceal anything, and said in a trembling voice, "It was...it was Buddha! It was the Tathagata Buddha who ordered me to come and take Sun Wukong's place..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was in an uproar.

Although it had been suspected for some time, it was still chilling to hear it confirmed by the Six-Eared Macaque.

The Buddhist community has actually committed such a despicable act!
Secretly, the Tathagata of Many Treasures, who had been spying on this place, knew something was terribly wrong the moment he saw the Heavenly Mystery Mirror appear.

Upon hearing the Six-Eared Macaque's confession, he was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

This useless thing!
