Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 1068: Chapter 451: The Buddhist Sect Is Shocked! Ping Xin Meets Zhao Feng! (Part 2)

Manjusri’s expression was solemn. Although his hands were clasped, he appeared extremely uneasy: ”I never thought Lady Pingxin would have ties with this person.”

”Could it be that the powerful figure behind the Qin Court is...”

The words reached this point.

Manjusri dared not continue speaking.

This place is within the Netherworld of the Underworld, which is Ping Xin’s true domain. How could he dare speak too freely?

And at this moment.

Ksitigarbha’s expression slightly changed and immediately looked at Manjusri with a strong warning in his eyes, as pages of the Book of Life and Death carrying the power of rules gradually dissipated.

”Daoist Manjusri, you should return to the Venerable One to report,” Ksitigarbha said deeply.

Before the words were finished.

”Alas.”

A sigh from Lady Pingxin echoed from the depths of the Nine You, causing the entire Underworld to shake violently.

”Lady Pingxin has appeared.”

”I...” Manjusri had not yet had time to react, only to feel the world spinning. Upon opening his eyes, he was at the foot of Spirit Mountain, a divine skill, a power of spatial rules that simply was not achievable at the Quasi-Saint level.

And such means.

As a half-step Quasi-Saint, Manjusri’s face had already turned extremely ugly.

If Ping Xin had wanted his life just now, he would have had no resistance.

Within the Great Leiyin Temple!

”Venerable One.”

”Golden Cicada’s reincarnation failed, unsurprisingly related to the Qin Court.”

”Prince of Qin Court, Zhao Feng entered the Underworld.”

”And... he even saw the legendary Lady Pingxin...”

Manjusri returned to the Great Leiyin Temple to report the matter exactly.

Duobao Tathagata paused with the Buddha beads in his hand after hearing Manjusri’s report.

The chanting of the All Heavens Buddha inside the hall abruptly ceased.

Yet he couldn’t suppress the slight tremble in Duobao Tathagata’s fingertips.

”Lady Pingxin.”

Duobao Tathagata’s complexion was heavy.

In the past.

When the Saints were still present.

Before the Divine Enthronement Calamity began.

Though the world had entered the Saint Era, it was the era of the Saints’ sects standing side by side.

At that time, he was not yet a Buddha of the Buddhist Sect.

He was still the chief disciple of the Jie Sect.

At that time.

His master had said.

Never enter the Underworld without reason.

Entering the Underworld, do not offend Ping Xin.

In the world, do not become enemies with the Wu Tribe.

In the Underworld, even Saints are no match for Ping Xin.

Ping Xin knows the secrets of heaven and earth.

”She is still here.”

”Moreover, she seems to have made a move.”

Duobao Tathagata felt deeply weighed down.

Ping Xin meeting Zhao Feng, Duobao Tathagata could even imagine that they must have secretly discussed something.

Otherwise, Golden Cicada’s reincarnation wouldn’t have erred.

Moreover.

The Buddhist Sect had hidden Golden Cicada so well.

Who could possibly pay attention to Golden Cicada?

This was the Buddhist Sect’s secret.

In past times, he was Golden Cicada, but after reincarnation, he was just an ordinary person.

If it weren’t for that one in the Underworld intervening, how would the Qin Court have noticed Golden Cicada?

And at this moment.

Guanyin, who was still in Leiyin Temple, had a thoughtful look: ”Venerable One, Lady Pingxin incarnates reincarnation, she should have transcended the Calamity. This time, helping Zhao Feng, could it be the Wu Tribe intends to rise again through the Qin Court?”

This question.

Seemed to make Duobao Tathagata understand something.

”That one is fused with the Underworld, being one with it, unable to leave the Underworld, but she was once a Wu Tribe; now the Wu Tribe is trapped in the Northern Continent suffering hardships, perhaps this is what she holds dear in her heart.”

”Thus, it might indeed be possible.” Duobao Tathagata thought secretly.

”Wu Tribe?” Samantabhadra laughed: ”Venerable One! Ever since the Witch-Demon War, the fortunes of both tribes have already vanished and collapsed! If it weren’t for Houtu incarnating reincarnation and gaining the merit of Heavenly Dao, Wu Tribe’s fortune would have long scattered, but that Zhao Feng—”

”This person is too strange and too terrifying.”

”His advancement is too fast.”

These words.

Naturally stirred many thoughts.

After a moment.

Duobao Tathagata carried a kind of contemplation, though he did not know how to respond at the moment either.

After all, the one in the Underworld had acted.

”Golden Cicada having entered the Qin Court Territory, the Westward Journey Tribulation is no longer a solo act of our Buddhist Sect.”

”The variables of the Great Calamity have already appeared.”

”Guan Zizai Bodhisattva, tomorrow you shall take this golden token from me and go to Xianyang. Tell them... the Buddhist Sect is willing to exchange the Eight Treasure Merit Pool water and a Nine-Grade Golden Lotus for Jin Chanzi’s freedom in this life.”

”If the Qin Court is unwilling, then ask what conditions they require.” said Duobao Tathagata.

Upon hearing this.

The faces of Guanyin, Samantabhadra, and Manjusri all changed.

They hadn’t expected Duobao Tathagata to show such willingness to concede.

”World Venerable.”

”Is this to make our Buddhist Sect concede to the Qin Court?”

”Our Buddhist Sect has stood firm in the world for so long, with deep foundations, how could we retreat before the Qin Court?” Samantabhadra said, puzzled.

”The current situation, with the calamity involved, leaves us no choice but to retreat.”

”Everything, prioritized for Jin Chanzi.”

”Prioritized for the calamity.”

”If we do not control Jin Chanzi, the future calamity will have far too many variables.” Duobao Tathagata sighed.

”I receive the World Venerable’s decree.” Guanyin performed a Buddhist ritual and bowed.

...

Eastern Continent!

South Domain Void.

”Qin Heavenly Court.”

Guanyin stood on the Lotus Platform, steering it, and had just touched the heavenly vault of the Southern Domain of the Eastern Continent.

It was at this moment.

Boom, boom, boom!

The entire void suddenly emitted a sound like bronze vessels colliding.

The thirty-three layers of the cloud sea instantly solidified, and a giant cauldron embossed with river and mountain patterns descended from the Nine Heavens, a massive barrier abruptly rose before Guanyin in the void emperor’s presence.

In quick succession.

A giant cauldron’s phantom appeared out of nowhere, exuding an incomparably vast pressure.

The Xuanhuang Qi spewed from its mouth reversed like a heavenly river, forcibly pushing her Bodhisattva golden body out of the void.

The enormous pressure of qi fortune forced Guanyin to retreat three full steps.

”Human race’s Nine Tripods.”

”Yu State Tripod!”

Guanyin’s eyes narrowed.

She urgently redirected her mana, the Jade Purifying Bottle in her hand suddenly became searing hot, and the willow branch within moved autonomously with no wind.

Protecting herself.

Guanyin lifted her gaze and saw a giant cauldron appear before her, its inscriptions flowing with profound patterns, casting invisible barriers within the Great Qin Territory and the phantom of the giant cauldron, where eight entities seem to rely on each other, as though echoing in the distance.

”Nine Provinces Barrier.”

”The strongest barrier of the Human Race in days past.”

”Fueled by Qi Fortune.”

”Unexpected, that the Qin Court orchestrated such a clan suppressing artifact.”

”No wonder they are unafraid of the Heavenly Court.”

Guanyin stared, her expression equally shocked.

At this very moment!

”Who dares to offend my Qin.”

A voice filled with ferocity echoed through the void.

The void trembled.

Five terrifying auras abruptly emerged, and suddenly tore through the clouds.

Five generals clad in black battle armor tread upon war chariots, crushing through the void.

The leader wielded a Mo Knife, the glaive blade engulfed in endless Blood Evil Qi, indescribably menacing.

It was Meng Tian, who guarded one side of the Great Qin Territory.

Behind him were four Daluo Golden Immortals, all in mystic bird pattern armor, with something far more ferocious than magical treasures hanging at their waists, something akin to killing weapons. They were all military commanders, having reached the Martial Arts Supreme realm, ordered to guard this border.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t act, only appearing if cultivation exceeds Daluo.

”Someone from the Buddhist Sect?”

Meng Tian’s Mo Knife pointed at Guanyin, the military strategists’ Evil Qi at the tip of the glaive coalesced into the ”kill” character in seal script in the void.

”My, Qin Law.”

”Non-Xuan Mirror imprint holders must not enter the territory!”

”Foreign Daluo strong people need report to the successor before being permitted into the territory.”

”Entering without reason means death.” Meng Tian coldly declared.

”This humble monk harbors no ill intentions.”

Guanyin’s fingertips pinched a willow branch suddenly blossomed with Eight Treasure lights, barely resisting the surging evil qi.

She noticed all five generals simultaneously emanated a blood light, within the Nine Tripods’ phantom lurked a black dragon—a manifestation of the Great Qin’s National Fortune, the spirit of the Mystic Bird, at this moment seemed to be coldly watching her.

”Please, General, slow down.”

Guanyin placed the Jade Purifying Bottle across her chest, the nectar within suddenly transformed into three thousand golden lotuses blossoming.

”This humble monk carries the World Venerable’s decree, specifically to visit the Prince of Qin Court, without any intent to offend.”

Speaking this.

The Buddha light before her dissipated, then self-repressed, the vast Buddha power suddenly being forcibly suppressed below Daluo.

This was the Buddhist Sect’s secret ”Return Fruit to Cause” technique, able to temporarily seal her strength, not entering the Daluo realm.

Evidently.

She also displayed utmost sincerity.

Seeing the Nine Provinces Barrier here, seeing the Great Qin host so many strong individuals, she naturally understood not to take action.
