Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 1060 - 447: Heavenly Dao Strikes Again! Quasi-Saints Forbidden from Entering the Earth Immortal Realm! (2)
Previously on Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield...
"This Heavenly Dao has benefited our Qin." Ying Zheng laughed as well.
"The power of a Quasi-Saint can indeed destroy heaven and earth."
"If they were to act in the Earth Immortal Realm, insisting on taking a piece of void with them to the grave, the Four Great States could not last long."
"Heavenly Dao has now set restrictions on the strong ones." Zhao Feng sneered.
The primordial world has existed for countless years!
The number and strength of cultivators has gradually grown, with strong ones too numerous to count.
Especially those who have reached the Quasi-Saint level; with a wave of their hand, they can destroy heaven and earth, easily causing world upheaval. Though the Heavenly Dao is merciless, it doesn’t solely destroy; it also has the duty to preserve the long-lasting existence of heavens and earth, guarding them.
After all, as long as heaven and earth are there, the Heavenly Dao is there.
Of course.
There might be personal motives as well.
Zhao Feng, having lived two lifetimes, naturally understands the primordial; Heavenly Dao Hong Jun, Hong Jun is Heavenly Dao.
Personal motives can also interfere.
Plans may be included within.
"This time."
"Aside from our Qin, the Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect will surely be more displeased."
"This appearance of heavenly rules is like cutting off their arm." Zhao Feng sneered.
Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng, father and son, stood at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Palace.
Gazing into the distance, as if heaven and earth were in their grasp.
Ying Zheng, as the lord of Qin, now possesses strength nearly reaching the mid Quasi-Saint stage.
He naturally sees through the essence.
"The Heavenly Dao’s action intends to limit the power of Quasi-Saint strong ones, to prevent heaven and earth from collapsing due to their conflicts! However, this also means that future tribulations will be even more ruthless, with cultivators below Quasi-Saint becoming the main force of the tribulations, their lives hanging in balance." Ying Zheng said solemnly.
It seems he’s seen the kind of slaughter that the next tribulation will awaken across the world.
"Observe."
"Our Qin will sit and watch the tigers fight, no rush." Zhao Feng said indifferently.
Just as Zhao Feng thought.
The heavenly mechanism sign is like a huge stone thrown into a tranquil lake, instantly stirring thousands of waves.
The whole primordial heaven and earth shook because of this; numerous cultivators and forces discussed fervently, subtly altering the pattern of the world.
Meanwhile.
Heavenly Court!
Buddhist Sect!
Blood Sea!
North Sea!
Wuzhuang Temple and other major forces were also shaken by the Heavenly Dao’s decree.
In the Heavenly Court.
Hao Tian has yet to emerge from seclusion, still comprehending the so-called Hongmeng Purple Qi, striving to prove the Dao and become a Saint.
Perhaps after the appearance of Heavenly Dao’s power, Hao Tian also felt it, but he naturally would not let go of this chance to become a Saint.
Because once he becomes a Saint, the threat of the Heavenly Dao’s returning power will no longer exist.
Even up till now, Hao Tian does not feel he’s been played, nor does he think the Hongmeng Purple Qi he holds is fake.
Yaochi sits upon the throne in the Palace of the Polestar, with a serious expression.
She now temporarily governs the Heavenly Court.
Though nominally in control, the Heavenly Court is practically not united.
The Heavenly Court has many Quasi-Saint strong ones, but it can truly mobilize only seventy percent.
Now, the Heavenly Dao limits the action of Quasi-Saint strong ones; to him, it is both an opportunity and a challenge.
"Quasi-Saint strong ones cannot act."
"It seems to cut off one of our Heavenly Court’s arms, but looking at the entire universe, those at the Da Luo level primarily belong to our Heavenly Court, followed by the Buddhist Sect."
"Even if Quasi-Saints cannot act, our Heavenly Court remains superior."
"As for that Qin Court, they don’t have as many Da Luo strong ones."
"This might be an opportunity." Yaochi wore a cold smile.
"Ma’am."
"The appearance of heavenly rules."
"Quasi-Saints cannot enter the Earth Immortal Realm, what should our Heavenly Court do?" asked a Heavenly Official.
"To our Heavenly Court, this is a good thing."
"Looking at the universe, which side’s Da Luo strong ones can compare to our Heavenly Court?" Yaochi scanned the room with pride.
"Issue from this Palace! Starting today, all divisions of the Heavenly Court remain on high alert. Though Quasi-Saint strong ones cannot act, the Great Calamity approaches, conflicts across the universe will turn fiercer, our Heavenly Court needs to prepare early to handle future changes."
"All Da Luo strong ones of our Heavenly Court must remain ready for anything." Yaochi ordered sternly, her voice echoed through the Palace of the Polestar.
"By the decree."
Numerous immortals and gods inside the palace responded in unison.
Among them.
Many immortals and gods who have not reached the Quasi-Saint level yet possess Da Luo strength wore expressions of happiness.
Especially Li Jing, holding the pagoda, was exceedingly excited at this moment.
"Nezha’s cultivation is at the peak of Da Luo, with combat strength comparable to a Quasi-Saint."
"I am also Da Luo."
"In the future within the Heavenly Court, I, Li Jing, will hold greater power."
"Quasi-Saints do not act, Da Luo becomes honored."
"New heavenly rules." Li Jing thought with great joy in his heart.
Of course.
He wasn’t the only one with such ideas.
At this moment.
Numerous immortals and gods followed their orders and left.
Within the Spirit Mountain of the Buddhist Sect.
Duo Bao Tathagata sat upon the Lotus Platform.
Though his heart was turbulent, his expression remained calm, as if he had already seen through everything.
Duo Bao slightly opened his eyes; his gaze pierced through the endless void, encompassing the expressions of many Buddhas in Leiyin Temple, then said lightly: "Heavenly Dao is most impartial! This move intends to maintain the balance of heaven and earth. Our Buddhist Sect, though compassionate, has an impending Great Calamity, where all beings can only suffer. Issue the order, Buddhist disciples must hasten their cultivation to prepare for future tribulations."
"This Westward Journey Tribulation is the opportunity for our Buddhist Sect to thrive!"
Blood Sea!
Nether River stood at the peak of Blood Sea, a trace of intrigue in his eyes. He, being a Quasi-Saint, and at the most top-level of Great Perfection.
Now, the arrival of heavenly rules filled him with anger.
Yet facing the overwhelming Heavenly Dao’s pressure.
Under the threat of Heavenly Punishment.
Nether River could only endure.
"Though under the Heavenly Dao’s restrictions, unable to act!"
Nether River pondered, but he had other calculations within: "But this targets all Quasi-Saints in heaven and earth, Hao Tian, Duo Bao, Zhen Yuanzi, they’re all in the same boat."
"Thus, Quasi-Saints not part of the tribulation! It gives us all a chance."
"With the Great Calamity approaching, my Blood Sea lineage needs early preparation. If we seize the opportunity in the tribulation, we might advance further."
Nether River Ancestor murmured softly, then transformed into a blood light and vanished into the depths of Blood Sea.
North Sea!
Kunpeng Ancestor stood within the North Sea palace, his gaze icy.
Being an ancient great power, he entered the Quasi-Saint realm long ago but has been residing in North Sea, except for the last time contending for Hongmeng Purple Qi.
He never easily participates in universal conflicts. Now, the Heavenly Dao restricts Quasi-Saint strong ones from acting; to him, it’s both confinement and opportunity.
"With the Great Calamity approaching, the world’s pattern will reshuffle. Our North Sea lineage, though hidden from the world, needs early preparation to handle future changes." Kunpeng Ancestor murmured lightly, as he had calculations in his eyes.
Meanwhile, cultivators below Quasi-Saint level across the heavens were wildly excited by the Heavenly Dao’s decree.
Quasi-Saint strong ones cannot act, signifies more survival chances for them amidst the Great Calamity.
After all, when Quasi-Saint strong ones act during the Great Calamity, it means destruction beyond measure.
It’s just like how everyone under the Saint used to be mere ants.
This is also true for those below Quasi-Saint when facing Quasi-Saints.
Now, the Heavenly Dao restricts Quasi-Saints from acting, without a doubt, giving them a lifeline.
"Heavenly Dao is most impartial, though limiting the power of Quasi-Saint strong ones, it also gives us, those who haven’t reached Quasi-Saint realm, a lifeline."
"Though the Great Calamity is dangerous, it contains infinite opportunity. If one can stand out, it’s possible to defy fate and enter a higher realm." said a cultivator atop a mountain, his eyes shining with hope and even ambition.
"Indeed, the Great Calamity approaches, the world’s pattern will shuffle anew; although we haven’t reached Quasi-Saint, we must hasten our cultivation. The future tribulation might offer a breakthrough opportunity." another cultivator concurred.
"The Great Calamity approaches, no one can escape."
"Since there is no escape, then fight with all you’ve got."
...
Cultivators across the heavens began to intensify their cultivation, preparing for the impending Great Calamity.
They know!
Though the Great Calamity is dangerous, it also holds infinite opportunity.
If one stands out in the Great Calamity, it’s possible to defy fate and ascend to a higher realm.
However, the advent of the Great Calamity isn’t smooth sailing. Conflicts in heaven and earth will grow fiercer, and struggles between major forces will become more ruthless.
Though the Heavenly Dao restricts Quasi-Saint strong ones from acting, it also grants them a lifeline. How future universal trends will unfold, no one can foresee!
