Deep in the North Sea, in the Demon Master's Palace, Kunpeng suddenly opened his eyes, and his sinister eyes were full of surprise and doubt.
Inside the Fire Cloud Cave, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all changed their expressions, and the destiny of humanity surged violently.
Outside the thirty-three heavens, in the chaos, the hidden sages' dojos also emitted waves of Taoist rhythm.
Everyone understands.
The real catastrophe, the most cruel and bloody chaos, is coming!
Quasi-saints will no longer be spectators standing high above.
They will personally take the field, transforming into chess players, and engage in the most direct and brutal fight in this bloody game of chess!
…
Heaven, the Lingxiao Palace.
Lord Haotian suddenly stood up from the Nine Dragon Throne, his heart filled with ecstasy: "Hahahaha! Great! What a way to follow fate!"
The quasi-saint descends to the mortal world without restrictions!
This means that he no longer needs to rack his brains to design traps to lure Zhao Feng into a killing situation.
He could, personally descend to the mortal realm! He could, with the supreme divine power of Heaven and the thunderous means bestowed by the saints, descend directly to the Southern Continent, to Xianyang, and completely crush Qin Ting, who had defied Heaven, and Zhao Feng, who had repeatedly challenged his divine power, into dust!
The anger that had been pent up in my heart for a long time seemed to find an outlet at this moment.
Yao Chi looked at the frantic Haotian 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 fellow Taoist, and said with high spirits: "It's more than just a good thing!"
"Yao Chi, just watch! This emperor will personally lead the heavenly soldiers to destroy the Great Qin Heavenly Palace. This emperor will make Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng, father and son, kneel before this emperor and pay the price in blood for their arrogance!"
"This emperor wants to let all beings in the three realms see who is the true ruler of this world!"
Yao Chi slowly shook her head, walked to his side, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Qin court is protected by the Jiuzhou barrier and has many treasures to suppress the national destiny. Even if Your Majesty holds the means of a saint, it will not be easy to break it in one fell swoop."
"What's more, those people in the Buddhist sect are the kind of people who won't release their eagles until they see the rabbit."
"If our Heavenly Court and the Great Qin fight to the point of mutual destruction, and they sit on the mountain and watch the fight, wouldn't that be giving them an advantage for nothing?"
Haotian frowned when he heard this, but gradually calmed down.
Yao Chi is right.
Daqin is not a soft persimmon.
Buddhism is not just about good men and women.
Although he had three saintly attacks bestowed by Daozu Hongjun, they were his last trump cards, and each time he used them, they would become less.
If he fails to kill with one blow and instead lets Buddhism take advantage of him, he will have no place to cry.
Although his Heavenly Court has already allied with Buddhism, and they are also planning to kill Zhao Feng together.
But now there is no need to use tricks to lure Zhao Feng, we can just mobilize the troops directly, but the Buddhist sect must be on guard.
Seeing Haotian calm down, Yao Chi continued, "For now, we should continue to unite with the Buddhist sect."
"Invite them to join the army and attack the Qin court together!"
"After conquering Xianyang, my Heavenly Court will take 70% of the vast fortune of the Qin Court, and the Buddhist Sect will take 30%."
"In this way, we can completely tie them to the chariot of my Heavenly Court, and at the same time preserve the strength of my Heavenly Court to the greatest extent."
"As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, the three realms will still be ruled by my Heavenly Court in the future."
Haotian pondered for a long time.
I have to admit that Yao Chi’s proposal is mature and prudent, and the most prudent.
Although he extremely wanted to tear Zhao Feng into pieces with his own hands, as the master of the Three Realms, he could not let anger cloud his mind.
for a long time.
A fierce look flashed in Haotian's eyes, and he made a decision: "Okay! I'll do as you say!"
"This emperor will go to Lingshan again and discuss with Na Duobao the grand event of dividing the Qin court!"
The words fell.
Haotian took a step forward, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the Lingxiao Palace.
…
Xiniu Hezhou, the sacred place of Lingshan.
Many Treasures Tathagata was facing Manjusri and Samantabhadra in the main hall, preparing to take real action against the spread of Buddhism to the West.
But at this moment, his expression suddenly changed and he looked up outside Lingshan.
The next moment, Haotian's voice rang out directly in his heart: "Buddha Tathagata, how are you?"
Many Treasures Tathagata waved his hand, signaling Manjushri and Samantabhadra to leave.
He did not stand up, but just sat upright on the lotus platform and responded with his mind: "Why did the Great Celestial Venerable not enjoy the peace and tranquility in heaven but come to this barren land of mine?"
"Hasn't it been discussed now that we should take it step by step to lure out Zhao Feng?"
Haotian's figure tore through the void and descended into the Great Hall of the Great Leiyin Temple. He stood with his hands behind his back, carrying an air of dominance that belonged to heaven and earth: "I have come here to make a huge deal with the Buddha."
"This deal is enough to make our fortunes soar, and to establish our dominance in countless future guilds!"
Duobao Tathagata was moved, but he remained calm and smiled: "Oh? Great Heavenly Venerable, why don't you speak frankly."
Haotian laughed loudly and said, "The way of heaven has changed. There is no obstacle for the quasi-saints to descend to the mortal world! This emperor wants to raise a million heavenly soldiers and generals from the heavenly court, and personally lead a group of quasi-saints to flatten the Nanzhanbu Continent and destroy the Qin court!"
"There is no need to scheme in a roundabout way to lure Zhao Feng into anything."
"I came here today to ask the Buddha a question."
"This is a supreme feast of destroying the Qin court and dividing up the Qin court's fortune. Are you, the Buddhist sect, interested in sharing a piece of the pie with my Heavenly Court?"
"Similarly, the execution of Zhao Feng is also discussed here."
As soon as these words were spoken, even with Duobao Tathagata's state of mind, his breathing couldn't help but become a little faster.
Join forces to attack Qin!
This Haotian has such great courage!
There was a long silence in the hall.
In the mind of Tathagata Duobao, countless thoughts were colliding violently.
Agree or not?
Agreeing would mean that Buddhism would engage in a head-on battle with the Qin Dynasty to the death.
If they win, the fortunes of Buddhism will soar, and the current downward trend can be completely reversed.
They even took this opportunity to expand their sphere of influence back to the southern continent.
If we fail, there will be no recovery.
The entire Buddhist community may completely become the dust of history in this gamble.
The risks and opportunities are equally huge.
Duobao Tathagata looked at Haotian, who was so imposing outside the palace and seemed to have already won, and slowly spoke in a hoarse voice: "Great Lord, why do you think that if you and I join forces, we will definitely win?"
"That Ying Zheng is unfathomable, the Great Qin is at its peak, and the Nine Provinces barrier is said to be difficult for even a saint to break."
"Wait, what can I use to break it?"
Haotian seemed to have expected him to ask this and smiled confidently.
He took a step forward and came before Duobao Tathagata.
Although he did not deliberately release his pressure, the imperial aura of the ruler of the three realms still dimmed the Buddha's light in the entire hall.
"Just for this."
Haotian slowly raised his hand. In his palm, three purple thunder talismans, surrounded by a chaotic aura and emitting terrifying fluctuations that were enough to make even a quasi-saint collapse, were quietly suspended.
"The power of a saint?"
Duobao Tathagata's pupils suddenly contracted and he cried out in shock.
He would never admit his mistake. This power was definitely above that of a saint. Even Duobao Tathagata felt a terrifying oppression.
These three forces.
Each one contains the power of a saint's blow!
No wonder!
No wonder Haotian is so confident!
Holding the three sage decrees, who in the three worlds of the ancient world can resist except for a true sage?
Not to mention a mere Jiuzhou barrier, even Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng, father and son, are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of the power of this saint, and cannot withstand a single blow!
Haotian looked at Duobao Tathagata's shocked expression, feeling immensely pleased. He then put away the thunder talisman and said calmly, "How is it? Buddha, what do you think our chances of winning are now?"
Duobao Tathagata took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart.
He knew he had no choice.
The way of heaven has changed. Haotian holds the saint's killing weapon in his hand. The arrow to destroy the Qin Dynasty is on the string and must be fired.
If Buddhism refuses, not only will it be unable to prevent all this from happening, but it will most likely be targeted by the Heavenly Court, and may even take action against Buddhism first.
Faced with Haotian, who possesses saint-level means, Tathagata must consider the worst case scenario.
What's more, the Qin monk's journey to the west had already become a major concern for the Buddhist community.
If the Qin Dynasty's "everyone is like a dragon" doctrine were to spread throughout Xiniu Hezhou, then his Buddhist sect would be on the verge of destruction.
Thinking of this, Duobao Tathagata slowly stood up from the lotus platform, faced Haotian, clasped his hands together, performed a Buddhist salute, and said, "Amitabha. The Great Celestial Venerable is clearing out the rebellious thieves from the Three Realms. This is an act in accordance with Heaven and in response to the will of the people. Our Buddhist sect will certainly provide you with all possible assistance."
Haotian laughed loudly when he heard this: "Great! The Buddha is indeed a man who knows the current situation!"
He held up two fingers and said, "After conquering Xianyang, the Qin court's territory will be divided into three parts: 70% and 30% respectively. The Dongsheng Shenzhou territory will return to the control of our Heavenly Court, and the Nanzhanbuzhou will belong to your Buddhist sect."
"Of all the treasures in the Qin court treasury, the Buddhist sect can choose 30%."
"how?"
Duobao Tathagata looked calm and said, "Good."
If it were in the past, he would naturally not agree, but at least he would try to fight for it.
But now, seeing that the sage's decree in Haotian's hand is the main force in this battle, it is only natural that he should take the biggest share.
He knew it was useless to fight for it.
If you are not in a better position than others, even if you bargain, you will only make people laugh and waste your efforts.
"Ten days from now, my celestial soldiers will gather at the eastern border of the Southern Continent." Haotian finally said, staring at Duobao Tathagata: "By then, I hope to see the Buddhist army."
Duobao Tathagata nodded and said immediately: "Don't worry, Great Lord, I, the Buddhist sect, will never break my promise."
After receiving a positive answer, Haotian did not linger any longer and turned away with satisfaction.
Looking at Haotian's disappearing back, Duobao Tathagata did not hesitate. He flashed and flew straight to the back mountain of Lingshan, the dojo of the future Buddha Maitreya.
This matter must be reported to Dipankara and Maitreya immediately.
Future Buddha Palace.
This is the place where Maitreya practices meditation. The Buddha's light is gentle, and the air is full of Zen. There is an atmosphere of great joy and freedom everywhere.
When the figure of Duobao Tathagata descended, Maitreya and Dipankara, who had been waiting there for a long time, opened their eyes at the same time.
Maitreya still had that smiling face: "Tathagata, what are you doing here, Haotian?"
Randeng remained silent, his eyes as calm as a deep well, quietly looking at Duobao Tathagata, waiting for his next words.
Duobao Tathagata did not beat around the bush and directly recounted the details of his transaction with Haotian and the three powers of saints.
When he heard the words "power of a saint," even Ran Deng's expression, which had remained unchanged for eternity, was moved. "He actually has the power of a saint? Could it be that it was bestowed upon him by the Dao Ancestor?"
As the former deputy leader of the Chan sect, he knew better than anyone what a saint's attack meant.
That represents the unrivaled absolute power under the heaven!
The smile on Maitreya's face completely disappeared: "In this case, Qin Ting will definitely lose."
He muttered, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
If the Qin Dynasty were to fall, as long as Buddhism could get 30% of the boundless fortune of humanity, it would be enough to increase the strength of the entire Buddhism several times!
Until then.
As the future Buddha, he might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to kill the third corpse in one fell swoop and truly enter the supreme realm of quasi-saint great perfection!
Duobao Tathagata looked at the two people's completely different reactions and said in a deep voice: "This matter concerns the life and death of our Buddhist sect. I cannot decide it alone, so I came to discuss it with my two junior brothers."
Randeng pondered for a long time before he slowly said, "If you are trying to get the skin of a tiger, you must be on guard."
"That Haotian has endured for countless eons. Now that he has gained power, he must be planning something big."
"Although he promised to share 30% of the luck of the Buddhist sect, after this battle, the Heavenly Court is the only one that is unstoppable."
"If he changes his mind then, how will we deal with it?"
His concerns are not without reason.
To cooperate with a tyrant like Haotian is like seeking the skin of a tiger.
Maitreya disagreed. He smiled and said, "Brother, you worry too much."
"This is a different time. The biggest threat to our Buddhist sect now is not the Heavenly Court, but the aggressive Qin Court!"
"That Qin monk Xuanzang traveled westwards, seemingly slaying demons and monsters, but in fact he was spreading his perverse theory that 'everyone is like a dragon'. Now, in the southern continent, only one in ten people who believe in our Buddha are left!"
"The foundation of our Buddhism is being undermined bit by bit by him! If we don't stop him, within a hundred years, Xiniu Hezhou will no longer be the pure land of our Buddhism!"
"Choose the lesser of two evils. First, unite with the Heavenly Court and destroy the great threat of the Qin Dynasty. This is our top priority!"
"As for how to get along with the Heavenly Court in the future, that is 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 impossible for us to compete with the Heavenly Court."
What Maitreya said makes sense.
Randeng was silent again.
He knew that what Maitreya said was right.
The threat from the Qin Empire is imminent.
That method of subverting faith from the bottom up and from the root is far more terrifying than fighting with swords.
Duobao Tathagata looked at Randang who was still hesitating and spoke again: "Randang Buddha, have you forgotten that the saint will return? When Master Yuanshi returns and sees you, the former deputy leader of the Chan Sect, who has now become a past Buddha of Buddhism, what do you think he will think?"
Ran Deng's body trembled, and he gritted his teeth, "Okay! Let's cooperate with the Heavenly Court!"
Faced with the threat from the Qin Dynasty, the three Buddhas of Buddhism finally reached a consensus.
If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences.
The existence of the Qin Dynasty has affected the foundation of Buddhism. Now the opportunity is rare. Instead of waiting for death, we might as well give it a try!
…
at the same time.
Xianyang, the Qin Heavenly Palace.
As the rules of heaven changed, the invisible suppressing force instantly enveloped the entire prehistoric world.
Zhao Feng walked out of his retreat, crossed the endless space in one step, and arrived at the main hall of the Heavenly Palace.
On the imperial throne, Ying Zheng had been waiting for a long time.
Next to him stood a young man whose features looked somewhat similar to Zhao Feng's.
It was the heir of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Qi.
