Seeing Zhao Feng approaching, Zhao Qi hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Father."
Zhao Feng nodded slightly, saluted Ying Zheng in the same way, smiled slightly and said, "Father."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and waved his hand without wasting any time: "What do you think about today's incident? Tell us."
Hearing this!
Zhao Qi couldn't help but speak first, saying in a deep voice, "It's time for the rules of heaven to change."
"Before, my Great Qin had no rivals under the Quasi-Saints, so the Heavenly Dao issued a rule that Quasi-Saints could not easily descend to the mortal world. This was to limit my Great Qin's pace of sweeping across the Earthly Immortal Realm."
"Now, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect are about to be forced into a desperate situation by the conspiracy of our Great Qin, and this rule has been changed again."
"Quasi-saints are allowed to enter the world without restriction. This clearly allows the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect to attack our Great Qin with all their might without any scruples!"
Zhao Qi hit the nail on the head, revealing the sinister intention behind this rule change.
How is this in accordance with the will of heaven?
This is clearly the way of heaven, blatantly cheating for its own pawns!
Zhao Feng wore a faint smile, as if everything was under his control. He sneered, "Hongjun can no longer sit still. He controls the way of heaven, and changing the rules is just a matter of flipping his hand."
Obviously.
Although he had never actually met Hongjun, he already knew him very well.
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "Heavenly Court, I'm afraid they are about to take action."
"Not only the Heavenly Court, but also the Buddhist sect will definitely be involved."
"After all, my Great Qin has already shown its intentions." Zhao Feng sneered.
The journey to the West to spread the Dharma has already pushed Buddhism into a corner.
The faith foundation that Buddhism has painstakingly cultivated over countless generations is being gradually eroded by the Qin Dynasty's idea that "everyone is like a dragon."
Previously, due to their limited strength, they could only endure.
Now that Heaven has loosened their shackles, how could they let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Zhao Qi's face was filled with worry. "Grandfather, Father, if the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect come out in full force and attack us together, our Great Qin..."
He didn't say anything else, but his meaning was clear.
Those would be two giants, carrying the destiny of an entire era, launching a thundering attack.
Although the Qin Dynasty is strong, one can imagine the enormous pressure it faces when facing an opponent of this level.
Zhao Feng said calmly: "It's okay."
immediately.
Zhao Feng looked at Ying Zheng and said, "I believe that the two ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus seeds that my father bestowed upon the Buddhist sect must have been left with a backup plan, right?"
When this matter was mentioned, Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.
How could he really be completely defenseless when dealing with Buddhism?
Ying Zheng smiled and said sinisterly, "Into those two lotus seeds, I have already used the fate of the Great Qin to imprint a mark of destiny."
"This mark, with the power of Buddhism, is absolutely impossible to detect."
"As long as they dare to move, I can detonate the mark with just a thought!"
Ying Zheng showed no mercy to his enemies.
When two sides fight, it's a life-and-death battle!
However, Ying Zheng did not take it lightly. Bai Lian's self-destruction would at most set the Buddhist sect on fire, but would not destroy it in one fell swoop.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng, still worried, and said, "Even so, if the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect come out in full force, including all the Quasi-Saints, it will still be difficult for our Great Qin to contend with them with its current strength."
"After all, we still have to make plans early."
"Don't worry, Father. I have a plan." Zhao Feng said calmly, "I am going to the Fire Cloud Cave!"
Fire Cloud Cave!
Upon hearing these three words, Ying Zheng and Zhao Qi were both cheered up.
That place is the holy land of the human race!
Suppressing the most ancient sages of the human race, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!
Zhao Qi said in disbelief, "Father, you mean to say that you want to... you want to release the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"
If the legendary sage of the human race could reappear in the world.
What a huge help that will be to the entire Qin Dynasty and the entire human race!
The strength of the Qin Dynasty will surely experience a leap-forward growth.
The invading enemies must be defeated without return!
Ying Zheng was also surprised.
But he quickly calmed down and frowned, "The Fire Cloud Cave has been sealed by a saint. Can you open it?"
Zhao Feng said with a smile: "If it were any other saint, it might be difficult to deal with."
"But the one who sealed the Fire Cloud Cave was the Saint Taiqing."
"My son, I will set off now to the Tushita Palace beyond the Thirty-three Heavens!"
"Go meet that fellow Taoist."
Ying Zheng felt relieved when he heard the name of the Great Purity Saint and nodded. "That's the best! Be careful on your journey."
Zhao Feng nodded, took a step forward, and disappeared without a trace.
…
Outside the thirty-three heavens is the Tushita Palace.
This place is the Taoist temple of the Taiqing Saint. Although it is located in the heaven, it is a world of its own, transcending the three realms and six paths.
Even Haotian did not dare to let his divine sense probe into this place at will.
But no matter what, this is the Heavenly Court and Haotian's territory, so Zhao Feng was very cautious along the way to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
He silently tore through the void and landed outside the simple and unadorned gate of the Tushita Palace. He bowed his head in greeting and said, "Zhao Feng of the Great Qin, I seek an audience with the Lord Lao."
The words fell.
The palace gate creaked open without any wind.
Laojun's voice, calm yet full of the truth of heaven and earth, came from the palace, "Come in."
"Thank you, Laojun." Zhao Feng stepped in and bowed to Taishang Laojun again, "Zhao Feng, greetings to Laojun."
Taishang Laojun fanned the wind slowly and asked, "What brings you here?"
Zhao Feng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "May I ask, Lord Lao, what do you think of the changes in the laws of heaven today?"
Taishang Laojun did not change at all, but asked in return: "What do you think?"
Zhao Feng said in a deep voice: "Hongjun can't sit still anymore."
"The expansion of our Great Qin and the rise of humanity have become a raging fire, unstoppable. He saw the power of the Heavenly Dao falling into someone else's hands, and he became anxious, so he openly stepped in to change the rules and clear the way for his pawns."
Taishang Laojun stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Zhao Feng, and said with a smile: "You see things clearly."
"Indeed. The rise of humanity is inherently an anomaly. Now that this anomaly has the potential to threaten the very foundations of the Heavenly Dao, he naturally has to intervene."
"Allowing quasi-saints to enter the world is only the first step."
"The three saintly powers he bestowed upon Haotian are the true killer moves."
The Supreme One changed the subject and asked again, "How confident are you in facing the power of a saint?"
Zhao Feng's expression was calm, and he said confidently, "If he dares to use it, I will dare to take it. But if it's a saint's attack, I am sure I can handle it."
Upon hearing this, Taishang Laojun nodded slowly and stopped asking questions.
Zhao Feng then revealed the real purpose of his trip, "Laojun, I came here today to ask for your authority."
"One, the authority to open the seal of Fire Cloud Cave!"
As soon as these words came out.
Even the calm eyes of Taishang Laojun were disturbed.
The Supreme Lord looked at Zhao Feng deeply, as if a little surprised, "You actually thought of asking those old friends to come out of retirement."
However, he did not agree immediately, but instead raised another question, "Do you know why I originally set up the seal to trap the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race and so many sages in the Fire Cloud Cave?"
Zhao Feng thought for a moment and replied, "To suppress the destiny of the human race, so as to prevent the human race from becoming too powerful and being disdained by the laws of nature."
This is the most widely circulated saying in the three realms of the ancient world.
However.
After listening to this, Taishang Laojun slowly shook his head.
Seeing Taishang Laojun shaking his head, Zhao Feng's heart moved, and he immediately bowed to ask for advice, "Please enlighten me, Laojun."
Taishang Laojun put down the palm-leaf fan in his hand, stood up, walked to the alchemy furnace, looked at the blazing Samadhi True Fire, and said in a distant voice, "Suppressing the fate is only one of the reasons. It is a facade for the Heavenly Dao to see."
"Its real purpose is to preserve the strength of the human race."
Zhao Feng was puzzled, "Conserve your strength?"
Taishang Laojun turned around and said, "Since the first catastrophe of the Dragon Han Dynasty until now, how many catastrophes has this ancient world experienced? How many brilliant races, how many powerful and influential people, have been completely reduced to the dust of history in the endless slaughter?"
"How powerful was the ancient demon clan's heaven? Di Jun and Tai Yi, what peerless heroes they were! But in the end, didn't they also end up dead and obliterated?"
"The witch clan has unparalleled physical bodies and roams the earth. The twelve ancestral witches are the true Pangu, but what happened?"
"Only the human race."
"Although the human race is born with an innate Dao body and is naturally endowed with advantages, its foundation is ultimately too shallow."
"If we allow the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to compete and fight with those veteran powerhouses in the repeated catastrophes, it may win temporary fortune for the human race, but the ultimate result will most likely be the same as other races, with the elites wiped out and the inheritance cut off."
"So, I set up a seal and sent them into the Fire Cloud Cave."
"That's not a cage, but the last trump card of the human race."
"As long as they are still here, the destiny of the human race will never be cut off. No matter how hard the outside world goes through, the human race will always have the opportunity to make a comeback."
After listening to the explanation of Taishang Laojun, Zhao Feng felt a huge wave in his heart.
He always thought that the Fire Cloud Cave was a shackle set up by the saints to restrict the human race.
But I didn't expect that there was such a profound plan and painstaking effort hidden behind this.
This seemingly inactive Taoist leader is the true guardian of the human race behind the scenes!
He bowed deeply to the Supreme Lord Laojun once again, his voice sincere, "Laojun has planned for our human race for eternity. For this great favor, Zhao Feng, on behalf of the millions of lives of the human race, thanks Laojun!"
Taishang Laojun accepted the gift calmly.
He sat back on the mat and waved his hand.
Buzz!
A black and white energy flowed, and the Tai Chi diagram imbued with the principles of yin and yang emerged from thin air and floated in front of Zhao Feng. "Go."
"The time has come for humanity to flourish."
"With you and your son leading the way, the human race no longer needs to hide its power. It's time to let them come out and see this world that has been transformed."
Zhao Feng solemnly accepted the Tai Chi seal and bowed to the Jade Emperor, "Thank you for your help."
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, looked at the Taishang Laojun who was leisurely fanning the fire, and said, "This time, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect, with the power of the Heavenly Dao, have come to attack us in full force, intending to destroy our Great Qin and sever our humanity."
"If Great Qin is lucky enough to win this battle..."
Zhao Feng paused for a moment, his fighting spirit radiating from him: "Then, next, my Great Qin's cavalry will crush the South Heaven Gate and march straight to the High Heaven Palace!"
"It's time to change the position of the ruler of the three realms."
What he said was extremely treasonous and tantamount to defying heaven!
However.
There was still no expression on Taishang Laojun's face.
Neither agree nor disagree.
Zhao Feng understood.
He said no more, bowed one last time to the figure of Laojun, and then disappeared into the Tushita Palace with a flash of his body.
After Zhao Feng left, Master Xuandu stepped aside and said hesitantly, "Teacher, Haotian is armed with the sage's decree and has the support of Heaven. The Buddhist sect will also go all out. Can the Great Qin really withstand this?"
"Should we help them?"
Xuandu's words were full of worry.
That was a blow from a saint!
These three are enough to completely wipe out any force below the quasi-saint level from the prehistoric world!
Not to mention, the foundation of these two major forces, Heaven and Buddhism, is so profound.
There are probably nearly twenty quasi-saints in total.
With such power, even the ancient demon clan and heaven would have to retreat.
Although the Qin Dynasty is blessed with the good fortune of humanity, its rise has only been short-lived. How can it be stopped?
Taishang Laojun finally stopped fanning himself with the palm-leaf fan, picked up the purple-gold gourd beside him, added some things to the alchemy furnace, and then spoke slowly: "No need, Qin Ting is more than capable of handling this disaster."
Xuan Du was stunned.
The Supreme Lord continued, "If humanity wants to truly stand between heaven and earth and challenge the Way of Heaven, this calamity is the hurdle they must overcome."
"If you can't even pass this level, then it proves that I have misjudged you."
Xuandu still felt uneasy.
He knew very well how much effort his teacher had devoted to humanity.
This is no longer a simple support, but a gamble that involves the future of the entire Taoist sect.
If the Qin Dynasty is defeated, wouldn’t all the teacher’s eternal plans become empty talk?
Just when Xuan Du thought the situation was hopeless, Taishang Laojun suddenly spoke up, "However... since he is the chess piece I have chosen, I cannot let him die so easily."
The Supreme Lord slowly stood up from his cushion, walked to Xuandu, and ordered, "You, go to Yuxu Palace."
Xuan Du quickly bowed and said, "Please give me some instructions, Master."
The tone of Taishang Laojun was still as calm as ever, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "Tell Guangchengzi to control the disciples of the Chan Sect."
"The Chan Sect is not allowed to participate in the Heavenly Court's attack on Qin."
"Especially Nan Ji. Tell him to manage the gods under his command. Anyone who dares to act rashly will be sent to reincarnation."
Xuandu was shocked.
The teacher is about to... blatantly interfere!
Although the Chan Sect only stood by and watched, it undoubtedly provided the most powerful support to the Qin Dynasty in the current situation!
after all.
In the heavenly court, the gods from the orthodox school are a powerful force.
Especially the Immortal of the South Pole, who holds a high position and great power, and is one of the real powerful figures in the Heavenly Court.
If he doesn't take any action, Haotian will be like losing an arm!
Xuandu felt at ease and bowed respectfully to the Supreme Lord Laojun, "Disciple, I obey your command!"
Taishang Laojun waved his hand and said, "Go."
Xuandu's figure disappeared from the Tushita Palace in an instant and rushed towards the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain.
