Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 876 Chapter 355: Future Buddha! The Secret Behind the Great Change of Heaven and Earth! (Part 2)

The Immortals and Buddhas from the Upper Realm are engulfed in brutal slaughter.

Yet, it's presumed some Immortals and Buddhas have endured, preserving their true selves.

However, amidst the profound transformations of Heaven and Earth, they've chosen to conceal themselves.

"Will the Buddha now provide an answer to my query?" Zhao Feng's voice softened considerably.

"Does the Benefactor know of the Great Calamity?" Maitreya Buddha countered with a question.

"In times past, the Divine Enthronement was known as the Great Calamity."

"I am aware of that event."

"But surely, countless years have passed since then?"

"Is it connected to the upheaval of Heaven and Earth?" Zhao Feng inquired.

"The Benefactor truly possesses extraordinary origins!"

Maitreya Buddha regarded Zhao Feng with a penetrating gaze before stating, "Following the Great Calamity of the Divine Enthronement, the Saints were prohibited by the Tao Ancestor from entering the Earth Immortal Realm. Consequently, the Earth Immortal Realm experienced a prolonged period of peace and development. However, after a hundred thousand years had elapsed, the Saints in the Chaotic Outer Heaven vanished, the Heavenly Dao descended into chaos, Heaven and Earth underwent immense changes, and Tribulation Qi emerged."

"This is also the fundamental reason for the current turmoil in the Earth Immortal Realm and the transformations observed among Immortals and Buddhas."

"Regarding the Spiritual Root Pill you mentioned, it is, in essence, formed from Tribulation Qi. This Qi infiltrates the soul, enhances cultivation through acts of slaughter and consumption, and thereby extends one's lifespan."

"To utilize Tribulation Qi within a pill is indeed a remarkable feat." Maitreya Buddha offered a smile, making his implication clear.

The so-called Spiritual Root Pill.

The Buddha Land and the Heavenly Court are undeniably implicated.

"Immortals and Gods possess lifespans ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years; why then would they still require extended lifespans?" Zhao Feng questioned, a hint of puzzlement in his tone.

"Prior to the upheaval of Heaven and Earth, this was indeed the case."

"But after the upheaval, Heaven and Earth were altered, the established laws became chaotic, the Heavenly Dao lost its authority, and the lifespan of those residing above the Immortal realm is no longer as it was during the clarity of Heaven and Earth Laws."

"Within the Immortal Realm, it is not Mortal Life that is cherished, but Immortal Life."

"An ordinary Immortal's lifespan is merely a thousand years; even upon reaching the Golden Immortal stage, it extends to less than ten thousand years."

"Time."

"Lifespan."

"These have become incredibly precious commodities within the Immortal Realm." Maitreya Buddha articulated slowly.

"So, a distinction exists between Mortal Life and Immortal Life." Zhao Feng expressed considerable surprise.

"Thus, the emergence of the Tribulation Qi Pill can be logically explained."

"The consumption of the Tribulation Qi Pill instigates endless slaughter throughout the Immortal Realm as cultivators seek to elevate their cultivation and prolong their lifespans. Through the Tribulation Qi Pill, they grow stronger, becoming stained with countless sins. Subsequently, the Buddha Land and the Heavenly Court can then logically eliminate them, seize their Spiritual Charms, and claim their lifespans."

At this precise moment.

Ying Zheng experienced a profound moment of realization.

"The Emperor Qin indeed possesses the acumen of a ruler, perceiving the situation with such clarity." Maitreya Buddha also offered a smile.

"Why have they directed their attention towards Shenzhou?"

"What is it about Shenzhou that instills such eagerness in them?" Ying Zheng pressed for further details.

Maitreya Buddha smiled, then articulated four pivotal words: "Chance for Transcendence!"

Ying Zheng appeared bewildered.

However, Zhao Feng understood with deep insight: "The Human Dao?"

The Human Dao!

The Dao encompassing all sentient beings.

Heaven and Earth are undergoing significant transformations, and the Heavenly Dao appears to have relinquished the rules that once governed the world.

The Earth Dao remains concealed, confined within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The ultimate Dao, the Human Dao.

This represents the Dao of all beings, and also the path to salvation for all beings.

"Benefactor."

"This humble monk does not have much time remaining in the mortal world; I shall soon dissipate."

"Here, I also convey a message."

"The Heavenly Court is preparing to dispatch forces to the Mortal World to eradicate your Qin nation and sever the Qi Fortune of Shenzhou."

"You must approach this matter with extreme caution."

"As for the Buddhist temples within the Mortal World, I shall ensure those Buddha Golden Bodies are dispersed. You are correct; Buddha is inherently formless. Why is a golden body necessary? If Buddha resides within the heart, Buddha permeates everywhere you are. If both the heart and body embrace Buddha, then you are Buddha!"

Maitreya Buddha smiled serenely.

The Buddha Light emanating from his form suddenly dissipated.

In the ensuing moment.

Within the grand halls of numerous temples across various nations in the Western Borders, countless Buddha Golden Bodies transformed directly into Buddha Light and dispersed. Subsequently, the character "Buddha" manifested upon the main seat of tribute.

With the complete dissipation of Maitreya's Golden Body in the Mortal World, a profound silence fell upon Zhangtai Palace. Those present were left utterly speechless by the spectacle.

After a considerable pause, Ying Zheng finally regained his composure. "Feng'er," he inquired, his voice filled with awe, "is this the true power of a Great Divine Ability Practitioner? To be summoned and arrive across realms?" He expressed his deep appreciation, noting how the manifestation of Maitreya Buddha had truly astonished him.

"He is a practitioner of great divine abilities from the ancient era of Heaven and Earth, naturally possessing such profound skills," Zhao Feng explained with a smile. "His appearance today has also granted me a much clearer understanding of the Immortal Realm, dispelling much of my previous confusion."

"An ancient practitioner of great divine abilities, just how powerful is he?" Ying Zheng asked, his curiosity piqued.

"If the Saints of the past represented the absolute pinnacle, then he is a power just below the Saints, having once been a disciple of a Saint," Zhao Feng replied.

"To witness an incarnation of such a Great Divine Ability Practitioner descend today, even breaking through Qin's National Fortune shield, one truly must not underestimate any Immortal or Buddha," Ying Zheng remarked with deep emotion.

"This Buddha wields great divine skills, which are not easily attained," Zhao Feng continued. "Moreover, his arrival has illuminated my understanding that not all Immortals and Buddhas are submerged in Tribulation Qi; many have not yet fallen. In the future, these individuals could become allies that Qin can strive to ally with."

"Indeed," Ying Zheng nodded in complete agreement.

"However," Zhao Feng's expression turned serious, "he mentioned that the Heavenly Court is planning to dispatch soldiers to the Lower Realm. It seems the Heavenly Court has indeed found a method to descend. We must approach this with utmost caution."

Although the exact means by which the Heavenly Court could breach the spatial barrier to send Heavenly Soldiers to the Lower Realm remained unclear, Maitreya Buddha's words of caution were undoubtedly genuine.

"The Heavenly Court descends, Immortals and Gods descend," Ying Zheng stated, his expression also becoming tense. "Our strength in Qin might not be sufficient. I do not know how many Immortals and Gods they will send."

"Do not worry," Zhao Feng countered with a sneer. "The fundamental laws of the Mortal World remain intact. If they exceed the limits the Mortal World can bear, they will be rejected by its World Law. Furthermore, this is Qin's home ground; whoever dares to come will be slain." Zhao Feng was confident that as long as the Divine Continent was not integrated into the Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Court could not deploy powers beyond the Golden Immortal Realm. Any threat below that level, Zhao Feng believed he could handle, a testament to the absolute strength derived from his All Attributes.

"Moreover," he added, "this time, I have also acquired the Postnatal Treasure, the Fake Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation."

"Father," Zhao Feng announced, "starting today, I will enter closed-door training, emerging only once a month. Each month, those who are to enter the cultivation grounds should be allocated outside Xianyang City, with rotations occurring when I emerge. Only by rapidly enhancing Qin's overall strength can we forge a path forward. And the numbers can be increased without limit," Zhao Feng declared.

"I will issue the necessary orders regarding this," Ying Zheng affirmed. "Grand Commandant, aside from the main battle Elite Soldier Camps, the Logistics Army may also select soldiers with Martial Arts talent above Mid Grade to enter the cultivation grounds for training."

"Additionally," Ying Zheng continued, "we must continue recruiting soldiers, selecting fifty thousand elite soldiers from the camps to join the Imperial Guard Army. I intend to expand the Imperial Guard Army to one hundred thousand. Furthermore, the Capital City Army will also be expanded to one hundred thousand. Henceforth, Qin's five camps will focus on offense, with the Imperial Guard Army and the Capital City Army tasked with guarding Xianyang," Ying Zheng stated solemnly.

"I shall follow your decree," Wang Jian responded immediately.

"One day in the heavens is equivalent to one year in the Mortal World," Zhao Feng mused. "The Heavenly Court's advance shouldn't be too swift. Father, I will return to my residence to train first. The affairs of Qin are now in your hands. During this period, Qin's military advancement must not be interrupted."

"Also, supervise the Array Hall in setting up the Transmission Array, accelerating Qin's control over the Mortal World," Zhao Feng instructed.

"I understand this matter," Ying Zheng nodded.

With that, Zhao Feng departed from Zhangtai Palace.
