Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 1074: Chapter 454: Jin Chanzi Enters Qin! The Stone Monkey Sets Off! (Part 2)

Zhao Feng’s mouth curled up into a confident smile, and he said, ”I naturally know this matter is fraught with difficulties, but since I have already made up my mind, I will not give up easily.”

”Now that you’ve reincarnated in Qin, this is our greatest advantage. You have high prestige and influence in the Buddhist Sect, and you are the Child of Qi Fortune for its prosperity. At this critical moment of the tribulation, as long as Qin can leverage your power, Great Qin Buddhism might spread in the land of the Buddhist Sect.”

Hearing this.

Jin Chanzi merely smiled, ”Why do you think, Daoist friend, that this humble monk would aid you?”

”Tathagata is my master, and Spirit Mountain is my sect.”

”Introducing Great Qin Buddhism into the West Land would be betraying my sect.”

Zhao Feng chuckled, not attempting to persuade further, but instead asked seriously, ”Are you willing to?”

”Although the Buddhist Law in the West Land is unfair to all beings, if I successfully complete the prosperity and the tribulation, I shall become a Tathagata upon returning to the Buddhist Sect, at the very least a Tathagata.” Jin Chanzi added.

”Are you willing?” Zhao Feng repeated the question.

But this time.

Jin Chanzi fell silent.

After a long pause.

”I am willing.” Jin Chanzi gazed at Zhao Feng and nodded firmly.

”Good.”

Zhao Feng was not at all surprised by Jin Chanzi’s response.

Jin Chanzi.

He has the Buddha within his heart and the aspiration to spread the true Buddhist Law.

If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have mentioned Great Qin Buddhism before the Buddha at Leiyin Temple back then.

”When someday Qin Buddhism enters the West Land, you, Jin Chanzi, will become the first Buddha of Qin.” Zhao Feng also spoke with a promise.

”If one can truly propagate the true Buddhism of Qin, with a Buddha in one’s heart, one is Buddha.”

”Buddha or not, this humble monk does not mind.” Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together.

”The future position of Tathagata is what you deserve.” Zhao Feng smiled slightly.

...

After Zhao Feng and Jin Chanzi reached a cooperation agreement, Qin’s layout quietly accelerated. Meanwhile, far away on Huaguo Mountain in the Eastern Continent, a significant change was brewing.

Shift focus.

In Aolai State, on an island above the East Sea.

Huaguo Mountain.

More than half a year had passed since the Stone Monkey was born.

During this time, he had completely integrated into the monkey community of Huaguo Mountain.

With intimacy and chemistry, just like fish and water are one.

During the day, he played with his companions, exploring every corner of the mountains and forests. When the night became quiet, he would find a secluded spot to train in the Way of the Martial Dao imparted by Zhao Feng.

Each session of training, the Stone Monkey could feel his strength increasing, filling him with anticipation for his future cultivation journey.

But he always remembered Zhao Feng’s words, hoping for the opportunity to leave Huaguo Mountain and go to Aolai State Academy to cultivate.

”Alas, so much time has passed.”

”The senior said the opportunity to leave the island for cultivation hasn’t come yet.”

”When on earth will it happen?”

Every day, the Stone Monkey would fret about this in his heart, feeling quite helpless.

On this day.

The wheel of destiny quietly turned. An elderly monkey, under the watchful eyes of the monkey community, slowly closed its eyes and stopped breathing.

The Stone Monkey stared dazedly at the deceased companion, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Until then, he had never witnessed death; the disappearance of life seemed so unfamiliar and cruel to him.

”Do all living beings die?” The Stone Monkey couldn’t help but ask, his voice trembling slightly.

Just at this moment.

Samantabhadra possessed an old monkey, and slowly walked to the Stone Monkey’s side.

A hint of an imperceptible scheme flashed in his eyes, and he secretly thought, ”Finally, the opportunity has come.”

Then.

Samantabhadra, using a hoarse and yet bewitching voice, said, ”Great King, life and death reincarnation is a fate that all things in the world cannot escape, but there is a way in this world to transcend life and death and achieve eternal life.”

The Stone Monkey’s eyes instantly brightened, and he eagerly asked, ”What method? Quickly tell me!”

”Only by cultivating immortality, seizing the creation of longevity, can one live forever, imperishable and undying.”

The old monkey deliberately lowered his voice, creating a mysterious atmosphere, ”Beyond this vast sea lies a mysterious place where the Immortals have the power to connect heaven and earth. As long as you can apprentice yourself to the Immortals and learn the Immortal Law, you can escape the bonds of life and death and possess limitless power.”

The Stone Monkey’s heart surged with tidal waves; he immediately recalled Zhao Feng’s words, and everything became clear in his heart: ”This is the opportunity for off-island cultivation that the senior mentioned!”

Thinking this.

The Stone Monkey clenched his fists, determination evident in his eyes: ”I must go to sea; I must seek the Immortals, learn the Immortal Law, and seek longevity!”

The Stone Monkey declared loudly to the monkey community.

The monkey community erupted, some monkeys showing worried expressions, fearing the Stone Monkey might never return, while others were full of envy, yearning for the Stone Monkey to bring back miraculous powers.

But the Stone Monkey was resolute; he began instructing the monkey community to build a raft, preparing to embark on an unknown journey.

Samantabhadra, who had possessed the old monkey, observed this scene with secret delight: ”Truly a newborn creature, ignorant and inexperienced! The task assigned to me by the World Venerable is fulfilled; as soon as this Stone Monkey sets to sea, I can smoothly guide him to the Nan Zhanbu Continent, to apprentice under Xu Puti, and everything will proceed according to the Buddhist Sect’s plan.”

The next morning.

Sunlight poured over Huaguo Mountain, draping the entire island in a golden glow. The Stone Monkey stood on the raft,

gazing at the boundless sea ahead, feeling both excited and nervous. He turned to take a last look at Huaguo Mountain, where he had lived for more than half a year. A trace of reluctance flickered in his eyes but was soon replaced by anticipation for the future.

”The opportunity the senior spoke of has arrived.”

”The path of Martial Arts, the road of cultivation.”

”I finally have the chance now.”

”I wonder if I will meet the senior in Aolai State.”

The Stone Monkey’s heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

From the moment he was conceived, Zhao Feng had cared for him, and even after his emergence, Zhao Feng was ever-present in his life. For Zhao Feng, he always felt a kind of warmth.

”I will definitely come back!”

The Stone Monkey shouted loudly to the monkey community, then pushed off forcefully, and the raft slowly left Huaguo Mountain.

”Success.”

”From here on, everything goes according to our Buddhist Sect’s plans.” Samantabhadra watched the departing Stone Monkey, his mouth curling up in satisfaction.

The plan had reached initial completion.

At this moment!

In the Qin Heavenly Palace.

Inside a hall.

Zhao Feng was sitting opposite Ying Zheng.

In front of them.

Was Zhao Feng’s Tian Xuan Mirror, currently displaying the Stone Monkey vigorously paddling the raft, heading towards Aolai State.

”Feng’er.”

”Has this monkey become a demon?”

”It’s quite spirited.” Ying Zheng said with a smile as he looked at the Stone Monkey.

”Father.”

”Do not underestimate this monkey.”

”He is the true protagonist of the Westward Journey Tribulation.”

”Limitless potential. Future achievements reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm is inevitable.” Zhao Feng smiled slightly.

”The true protagonist of the tribulation?”

”A monkey?”

Ying Zheng looked on in great surprise.

”No wonder you’re so focused on this monkey; now I see why.”

”Although this monkey’s aura is well hidden, it already possesses Martial Arts True Essence.”

”I suppose it’s the Martial Arts Skill you taught him.”

Ying Zheng glanced through the Tian Xuan Mirror, noting the essence of the Stone Monkey’s cultivation.

”The Jin Chanzi meant to retrieve the scriptures has been designed into reincarnation in Qin. This more crucial Stone Monkey, how could I not make a move?”

”This Stone Monkey, I naturally intend to keep within my grasp.” Zhao Feng stated with a smile, his face filled with calculations.

Stone Monkey.

Sun Wukong.

Unmatched in battle strength.

Destined to be commanded by Qin.

In the future, he would definitely not end up as Victory Buddha but as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.
