Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 1120 - 476: Inside Doushuai Temple! (2)
Previously on Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield...
Turquoise Pool recalled the recent encounter in Doushuai Temple, speaking with lingering fear: "Precisely because of this, I couldn’t swallow my anger and went to Doushuai Temple seeking an explanation from Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad."
"I shouted outside the temple for a long time, but he did not respond until I questioned him about protecting that Qin Court evil. He then directly attacked me."
At this point.
Turquoise Pool’s voice trembled slightly.
As a top-tier Great Divine Ability Practitioner.
Perhaps only when facing a Saint would one react this way.
And Hao Tian’s expression became even more grave, with a trace of fear in his eyes: "It seems the Supreme’s power is far beyond the simplicity of a Quasi-Saint. He can easily send you flying, but since he showed mercy, it suggests he doesn’t want to be entirely against us."
Turquoise Pool nodded but spoke with great seriousness: "My husband, at the moment when I was sent flying, I clearly felt the Holy Power; that pressure was indistinguishable from when I faced a Saint before."
"Hence, I have a guess."
"Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad must be the Taiching Saint from the past, surely not the Three Corpse Incarnations of Taiqing."
Hao Tian squinted slightly, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Although I didn’t witness Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad confronting Heavenly Dao, from what you’ve described, he undoubtedly is the Taiching Saint."
"But, why is he protecting Zhao Feng, and why is he opposing Heavenly Dao? The reason is truly elusive."
Turquoise Pool also sank into contemplation, frowning slightly, she murmured: "Indeed! The Supreme is always unfathomable, every move he makes must have a profound plan."
"But no matter how one thinks, it’s impossible to figure out his reason for supporting Zhao Feng."
Hao Tian sighed, sitting back on the futon, his gaze solemn: "Regardless of his motives, one thing is certain, the Supreme must have a close connection with the Qin Court, perhaps the Supreme has been backing Qin all along, no, it’s Taiqing."
Thinking of this, both Hao Tian and Turquoise Pool couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of urgency.
They are very clear about the aggressiveness of Qin Court, in recent years Qin Court has continuously expanded, posing a great threat to the Heavenly Court, now the Eastern Continent is about to be completely conquered by Qin Court.
If the Supreme is indeed supporting them from behind, when Qin Court attacks the Heavenly Court in the future, they will face an unprecedented crisis.
The Heavenly Court?
Replaced?
Thinking of this.
Besides urgency, there is only fear.
"Your Majesty, what shall we do?" Turquoise Pool asked anxiously: "Qin Court’s power grows ever stronger, if not curbed, soon enough, our Heavenly Court will fall into Eternal Damnation."
Hao Tian was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "We cannot act rashly now!"
"The Supreme is exceedingly powerful, undoubtedly a Saint."
"And Qin Court is too mysterious, possibly supported by other forces besides Taiqing; if we hastily send troops to the Lower Realm again, the odds are against us."
"Moreover, we don’t know the extent of the relationship between Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad and Qin Court, nor their next move." Hao Tian said gravely.
"Then shall we just watch Qin Court develop like this?" Turquoise Pool unwillingly said: "Watch them grow stronger, then truly threaten our Heavenly Court?"
Hao Tian shook his head: "Of course not. On one hand, we must expedite the reorganization of Heavenly Court soldiers, enhance strength, replenish Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, also gather various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to refine pills for the Heavenly Court’s strong, increasing their cultivation."
"On the other hand!"
Hao Tian’s gaze sharpened, continuing: "Send people to investigate the truth of Qin Court, closely monitor Qin Court’s every move, and their interactions with other forces."
"Currently, we can only switch from attack to defense."
Saying this.
Hao Tian felt helpless.
He has no other method.
"Is there truly no other way?" Turquoise Pool worriedly said.
Hao Tian chuckled coldly, with a chilling tone: "Although our Heavenly Court suffered a great defeat, the Buddhist Sect and other forces are certainly also more wary of Qin Court, this is a point we can leverage."
"Now Qin Court’s continuous expansion has threatened the interests of many forces, we can unite these forces to jointly resist Qin Court."
"I do not believe they won’t worry about Qin Court."
The current situation.
With Qin’s presence, the structure of the Earth Immortal Realm has changed.
"The Buddhist Sect has always been cautious and seems to have ties with Qin Court, as for other forces, their attitudes are uncertain... most are watching, unwilling to be easily drawn into conflicts." Turquoise Pool frowned as she spoke.
Hao Tian’s gaze was firm, with certainty: "Previously, they were unwilling to ally because they hadn’t felt sufficient threat."
"But now, Qin Court is about to fully seize the Eastern Continent."
"In the future, they will surely expand westward."
"I don’t believe they’re unafraid."
"Send envoys to the Buddhist Sect, to other forces, making them realize that if they don’t unite to resist Qin Court, they will all become the next target of Qin Court."
"Furthermore, we can offer some benefits." Hao Tian said.
"Okay, I understand."
"I’ll make arrangements." Turquoise Pool now had no opinion of her own, naturally listening entirely to Hao Tian.
Meanwhile, on Qin’s side.
Zhao Feng followed Ying Zheng’s advice and went to Doushuai Temple by incarnation.
He concealed his aura, broke through the void, ascended to the Thirty-Three Heavens, and directly headed towards Doushuai Temple.
When Zhao Feng arrived at the entrance of Doushuai Temple, he pondered slightly.
"Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad."
"I wonder, what exactly you plan to do this time." Zhao Feng thought with contemplation and a hint of fear in his heart.
After all, facing an existence as unfathomable as the Supreme, anyone would feel a bit of pressure.
Zhao Feng composed himself, walked to the temple gate: "Junior Zhao Feng, invited by the Supreme senior, comes to pay a visit."
After a moment!
The temple gate slowly opened, a child appeared at the door, curiously looked Zhao Feng over, then said: "Crown Prince of Qin, the master invites."
Zhao Feng followed the child into Doushuai Temple.
Inside Doushuai Temple, everything remained so calm, filled with a Dao Yun, stepping in felt a sense of peace.
Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad was sitting on a futon, eyes closed, seemingly in deep thought.
"Junior Zhao Feng, greets the Supreme senior."
Zhao Feng came over, slightly bowed, and cupped hands in salute.
This time, he naturally gave the courtesy of a junior.
Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad slowly opened his eyes, looking at Zhao Feng calmly.
With his gaze, naturally, he saw at a glance that Zhao Feng came by incarnation.
"What’s the matter?"
"Afraid I would harm you?" The Supreme smiled lightly, looking at Zhao Feng.
"Experiencing previous unjust deeds of Heavenly Dao, naturally juniors must be cautious." Zhao Feng replied with a smile, not overly constrained.
After all, if the Supreme wanted to deal with him, he would have done so already.
"You are sincere."
The Supreme smiled lightly.
Then.
"Having come, there’s no need for more courtesy, sit down."
Speaking, the Supreme gestured for Zhao Feng to sit down.
Zhao Feng, after expressing thanks, sat on the side’s futon, secretly speculating on the Supreme’s intention for meeting him.
Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad’s gaze slightly shifted, falling on Zhao Feng, he began speaking: "Zhao Feng, your Qin Court is now rapidly growing, becoming a power in the Earth Immortal Realm with resources and strength not weaker than the Heavenly Court."
"But do you know how many dangers lurk behind this?"
With that question.
Zhao Feng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then said: "Junior knows. Now Qin is highly visible, having drawn the wariness of various forces, especially the Heavenly Court, which hates us deeply."
"Moreover, Heavenly Dao also seems dissatisfied with Qin, having inflicted Heavenly Punishment."
"Yet junior does not understand, why did senior intervene to save me?"
These consecutive inquiries were naturally Zhao Feng’s deep-seated doubts.
Zhao Feng is well aware, there’s no kindness without a reason in this world.
The Supreme smiled, looking at Zhao Feng with profound eyes, his tone incredibly serious: "This Primordial World! Heavenly Dao is not absolutely fair!"
