Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 1243: Chapter 537: Scheming Against the Buddhist Sect, Entering the Underworld Again!

”In the past, the Western Two Saints exerted great efforts to win him over, promising him the position of the master of Western Teachings for an entire epoch, and granting him the bearance of the boundless Qi Fortune of the Buddhist Sect.”

Zhen Yuanzi slightly squinted his eyes, his gaze seeming to pierce through endless time and space, recalling the time after the Divine Enthronement, and said, ”It’s a pity, under the layout of the Supreme, Tathagata emerged unexpectedly and disrupted everything.”

”Helplessly, he had to retreat into the shadows, his unwillingness is imaginable.”

”But surely, he desires more than anyone to return, to once again preside over the Buddhist Sect and bear its massive Qi Fortune.”

Zhen Yuanzi’s tone was assured, carrying a keen insight into human nature.

Perhaps, this was also because he understood Dipankara, understood this old rival from past days.

That could certainly be described as achieving an aim by any means necessary.

”Besides,” Zhen Yuanzi paused briefly, then continued, ”there is also the Future Buddha, Maitreya.”

”He is the direct disciple of the Western Saint, and the Buddhist Sect was originally founded by the Western Two Saints.”

”But now, the direct disciples of the Western Two Saints are marginalized by Tathagata.”

”Though they bear a bit of the Buddhist Sect’s Qi Fortune, compared to Tathagata, it’s merely a drop in the ocean.”

Zhen Yuanzi gently shook his head, a trace of regret appearing on his face.

”Naturally, they would not be willing to see the fruits of the Buddhist Sect’s prosperity fall entirely into the hands of Tathagata, nor would they want Tathagata to continue enjoying the high position as the Ancestor of Buddhism.”

Zhen Yuanzi’s words were also full of certainty.

Listening to Zhen Yuanzi’s detailed analysis, Zhao Feng’s lips slowly curved into a faint smile: ”Do you think it’s possible to divide the Buddhist Sect into three parts?”

Zhao Feng’s words naturally surprised Zhen Yuanzi.

”Though indeed there have been conflicts among them, on the surface, the Buddhist Sect is still a monolith.”

”To divide them into three factions is nearly impossible.”

After pondering for a moment, Zhen Yuanzi shook his head, then slowly spoke again: ”Unless, a huge benefit is offered that they cannot refuse, big enough for them to tear apart completely to seize it.”

Zhen Yuanzi was well aware that the unified structure of the Buddhist Sect had been sustained for ages, and was constructed under the leadership of the former Western Two Saints.

Even if internal conflicts abound, the deep roots and heritage allow for the skillful suppression of those conflicts.

After all, it’s all for their respective interests.

”Tell me,”

Zhao Feng’s smile carried a hint of scheming: ”What if I add fuel to the fire during this catastrophe for both the Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court?”

”For instance, spreading news that after the great calamity, the Hongmeng Purple Qi will emerge, with the Heavenly Dao poised to birth a brand new Saint, and this Saint Position is most likely destined for the Buddhist Sect.”

Zhao Feng spoke slowly, his purpose becoming clearer, as the strategies used against the Heavenly Court in the past returned.

Upon hearing this!

Zhen Yuanzi’s expression shifted, instantly grasping Zhao Feng’s intent, and he hurriedly said, ”Your Highness, are you planning to use the same trick against Hao Tian as was done before, making fiction indistinguishable from reality?”

”Hao Tian now, surely still suffers from the Hongmeng Purple Qi I refined in the past, unable to recover to this day.”

”Otherwise, given Hao Tian’s nature, how could the Heavenly Court remain so quiet, without any movement?”

Zhao Feng smiled faintly, a touch of ridicule hanging at the corner of his mouth, seemingly seeing through Hao Tian’s lack of action.

”The Hongmeng Purple Qi that Your Highness refined is indeed enough to make fiction indistinguishable from reality.”

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly, yet his expression remained cautious: ”However, after Hao Tian’s precedent, will anyone believe it so easily?”

”After all, Hao Tian has not appeared for a long time, his life or death unknown, which naturally makes people wary.”

Zhen Yuanzi understood well that after experiencing the previous ’Hongmeng Purple Qi,’ and with Hao Tian’s prolonged absence, these Great Divine Ability Practitioners in the Earth Immortal Realm would become more cautious and suspicious.

”Back when I refined that Hongmeng Purple Qi, my strength was not as it is now.” Zhao Feng smiled lightly, extremely confident.

In the past, Zhao Feng had just entered the Martial Arts Emperor Realm, and his all attributes strength was only at the Martial Arts Emperor Realm.

But times have changed; Zhao Feng’s all attributes have long undergone earth-shattering changes.

Now, even without relying on the Qiankun Cauldron, Zhao Feng could effortlessly suppress Hao Tian.

The increase in Zhao Feng’s strength now gives him ample confidence.

”Therefore, refining the Hongmeng Purple Qi with the Qiankun Cauldron this time, the effect will be entirely different from before.”

”At that time, it will be indistinguishable from the real Hongmeng Purple Qi.”

”Of course, the only difference is that it cannot assist one in proving the Dao and becoming a Saint.”

With a calculating cold smile, Zhao Feng was full of plotting.

Given his current strength combined with the Qiankun Cauldron, Zhao Feng couldn’t even predict the reach of the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

”If Your Highness truly uses the great calamity as the lead, and this ’real Hongmeng Purple Qi’ as the bait, perhaps it could indeed cause division within the Buddhist Sect.”

A glint of anticipation flickered in Zhen Yuanzi’s eyes as he spoke slowly: ”After all, whether it be Dipankara, Duobao, or Maitreya!”

”None of them could simply watch someone else prove the Dao and become a Saint.”

”At that time, the Buddhist Sect might just split into three.”

”In chaos, competing for this Hongmeng Purple Qi.”

Zhen Yuanzi grew more excited as he spoke, a hint of eagerness showing on his face, clearly filled with anticipation for the impending change.

And the change was designed by the prince himself.

”However, once the Hongmeng Purple Qi is refined, I wonder how I should let it emerge flawlessly, leaving no trace of human intervention.”
