Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 1081 Chapter 458: Tathagata Enters the Qin Heavenly Palace! Zhao Feng's Scheme!
Previously on Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield...
It was only the blink of an eye!
Countless top-tier Qin powerhouses appeared above the Xianyang Void.
Martial Arts powerhouses.
Buddhist Path powerhouses.
Immortal Path powerhouses.
In the blink of an eye.
More than thirty appeared outright, each having stepped into a level equivalent to the Daluo Golden Immortal.
Among them were three who had already reached the very peak of Daluo.
"You enter the Capital of Qin and violate the airspace of Great Qin Territory."
"You shall be executed."
Zhao Wu let out a cold shout.
The powerful Martial Arts aura on his body exploded forth.
"Amitabha."
"To offend Qin, the Buddha will not allow it."
A Buddhist Practitioner in the Void pressed his palms together, Buddha Light flickering over his body.
He was none other than Qin's number one Buddhist Practitioner, Hui Kong.
"A Buddhist Practitioner, in the Daluo Realm."
"The Buddhist Practitioners of the Qin Court have actually cultivated to such a height."
Duobao Tathagata instantly noticed the Buddhist Practitioner before him.
That pure Buddha Light, that pure Buddhist Law—even the many Buddhas in his Great Leiyin Temple could not match such purity.
"I am the Buddha of Western Heaven, the Tathagata Buddha."
"You are a Buddhist Practitioner, why do you not bow to me?"
Duobao Tathagata fixed his gaze on Hui Kong before him. The Buddha Light on his body instantly spread out, completely unveiling his Buddha might.
The existence of Duobao.
If he appeared before any Buddhist Practitioner outside Qin Territory, they would all kneel and cry out to pay respects to the Buddha.
But within Qin.
It was completely different.
"Amitabha."
"We Daqin Buddhist Practitioners hold that everyone is a Buddha; there is no so-called Buddha."
"I am Buddha! The billions of Daqin Buddhist Practitioners are all Buddhas!"
"You, this so-called Buddha—within Qin you are nothing much."
Hui Kong smiled faintly, hands pressed together, speaking to Ze Rulai with perfect calm.
As these words fell.
Duobao Tathagata's expression also changed.
He had ruled the Buddhist Sect for countless years, claiming that ever since the Divine Enthronement Battle he had presided over it. The countless Buddhist Practitioners of the Earth Immortal Realm all revered him; none failed to bow upon seeing him.
Yet he had never imagined.
That today, within Qin Territory, the Buddhist Practitioners would not respect him at all.
Daqin Buddhist Practitioners formed an independent path.
Not only this Daluo-level Hui Kong before him, but also the thousands of Buddhist Practitioners behind him were the same. In their eyes there was simply no reverence toward the Buddha.
Yet though they did not revere the Buddha, the Buddha Light on their bodies was incomparably pure and intense. What they cultivated was the true Buddhist Law, beyond all doubt.
This was Qin's Buddhist Law.
With Buddha in the heart, everyone is Buddha.
With goodness in the heart, everyone holds the Buddha's heart.
Buddha!
Is not something you merely chant, but something you do—through deeds of kindness, benefiting all living beings, thus you are Buddha.
"Withdraw at once."
"Otherwise."
"Do not blame Qin for being ruthless."
Zhao Wu could not be bothered to waste words. With a wave of his hand, the Void instantly condensed into a giant heaven-supporting hand.
Boundless killing intent gathered.
As long as Duobao Tathagata did not retreat, the killing strike would fall.
"To offend Qin."
"You shall be executed!"
As Zhao Wu struck, one Qin powerhouse after another also made their moves.
Various killing techniques condensed in the Void above. In almost just a blink, the Void above the entire Capital of Great Qin was suffused with endless killing intent.
The entire Void trembled and fractured.
Yet.
None of the cultivations here had reached the Quasi-Saint Realm. No matter how great a commotion they caused, it did not trigger the descent of Heavenly Dao Heavenly Punishment.
Seeing this scene.
Duobao Tathagata also understood very clearly.
With just this one avatar of his, forcing a way into Qin was impossible.
Thus.
"Wait!"
Duobao Tathagata drew a deep breath, forcefully pressing down the shock in his heart at Qin's strength, and spoke: "I bear no ill will in this visit. It is truly for the matter of the great calamity that I seek an audience with the Qin Emperor and the Emperor's son Zhao Feng, to discuss countermeasures."
Hearing this!
Zhao Wu's brows furrowed tightly, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.
He had little fondness for the Buddhist Sect.
Back in the Mortal World, Zhao Wu had crossed blows with those hypocritical Buddhist Practitioners and held no good feelings toward them.
Just as Zhao Wu was about to directly refuse.
At that very moment!
A dignified and steady voice suddenly came from above the Void: "All of you, stand down for now."
"The Buddha of the Buddhist Sect has personally arrived. Since he shows sincerity by not striking, then the visitor is a guest."
"Qin will not turn away those who come to visit."
"Please enter the Heavenly Palace."
This voice resounded.
Like a great bell echoing through heaven and earth, not only majestic but carrying an inexpressible pressure. It was Zhao Feng.
The Qin powerhouses all paused upon hearing this, then withdrew their auras and killing techniques one after another.
"We respectfully obey the Crown Prince's decree." The many powerhouses all bowed toward the direction of the Heavenly Palace.
"Your son receives the order."
Though Zhao Wu harbored doubts, he could only obey.
He then waved his hand, signaling the Qin powerhouses to withdraw.
The next moment.
The Nine Provinces Barrier that had originally covered the entire heaven-and-earth Void of Qin slowly dispersed. A bright, wide passage was opened in the Void, leading straight to the Daqin Heavenly Palace.
"It seems there is room for discussion."
Seeing this, Duobao Tathagata felt slightly relieved.
Then.
Duobao glanced around at the Qin powerhouses who were still watching him warily.
He did not mind it.
He directly rode his Lotus Platform and slowly flew toward the passage.
"They've actually applied the power of space rules to such a degree."
"The strength of this Crown Prince of Qin has advanced yet again."
"I just don't know which rule power he truly commands. Could it be space?"
After entering the passage.
Duobao Tathagata could only feel the Power of Space Rules around him being steadily marshaled. This was the manifestation of complete mastery over rule power.
However.
This time Duobao had come only as a single avatar.
He did not dwell on it.
He restrained his aura and focused wholly on advancing toward the Daqin Heavenly Palace.
Before long, a magnificent and majestic palace appeared before his eyes.
The palace radiated golden light, its presence grand and overwhelming. Every brick and stone seemed to contain boundless power.
