Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 1167: Chapter 500: Lying Low, Waiting for the Right Moment

Inside the Heavenly Palace!

At this moment.

Zhen Yuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West were both deep in thought.

"If we hadn’t come to Qin this time, perhaps we would have never known such secrets of heaven and earth existed."

"Tao Ancestor!"

Zhen Yuanzi murmured, and upon reaching this point, he slightly shook his head and sighed heavily, his expression filled with regret and a hint of disappointment: "Originally, all beings in the Primordial revered him as the Immortal Path Ancestor and the Ancestor of All Laws, but to think, he calculated against the entire Primordial’s living beings."

Through today’s act of returning to Qin, the secrets of heaven and earth that Zhen Yuanzi learned completely overturned his long-held understanding.

It even left him with a sense of bewilderment and shock, unable to digest this unbelievable truth.

The Queen Mother of the West stood beside him, her feelings were just as complex, accompanied by a feeling of anger, and she said: "Stepping into the Quasi-Saint realm for so many years, the more I cultivate, the more something feels off."

"Initially, I only had doubts about the Corpse Cutting Method, but now I’m certain."

"Hong Jun, he did it intentionally, just to prevent the beings of the Primordial from escaping his control."

"Relying on the Corpse Cutting Method, it is simply impossible for the Three Corpses to unify, impossible to achieve Primordial."

"Hong Jun... he is unworthy of being the Tao Ancestor!"

"Originally, I thought he only schemed against me and the Eastern King."

"But now it seems, he conspired against the entire Primordial."

The Queen Mother’s voice was clear yet full of anger, echoing in the grand hall, lingering for a long time.

Once there was doubt.

But now!

This suspicion can be blatantly placed in the open, all of it was Hong Jun’s scheme.

Ying Zheng, with hands behind his back, was not surprised by their reaction, then said in a deep voice: "It is not strange for cultivators to have personal desires."

"But Hong Jun usurped the Heavenly Dao and controlled it with personal desire, this is a disaster to heaven and earth."

Ying Zheng’s voice was low and powerful, also carrying a criticism of Hong Jun.

All living beings have personal desires, and Ying Zheng is no exception.

But even as he governs Qin, his desire is merely to expand the Qin Territory.

In terms of the cultivation methods and the rules for all beings within the Qin Territory, he always treats everyone equally.

As long as the citizens of Qin can breakthrough in cultivation, even transcend, Qin welcomes it, and will never suppress it.

Zhen Yuanzi stepped forward, swung his horsetail whisk, and said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, now that the two of us have returned to Qin, the Wuzhuang Temple and the West Kunlun region, with more than tens of billions of beings, will all submit to Qin."

"Your Majesty can dispatch Qin officials at any time."

At this moment.

Zhen Yuanzi’s attitude was sincere, as he had already submitted, he would not renege.

Ying Zheng stopped and gently shook his head, saying: "No rush."

"A great calamity is about to begin, now is not the time for Qin to directly take over."

Ying Zheng gazed into the distance: "Now that the Eastern Continent has been completely conquered by Qin."

"The Heavenly Court, Buddhist Sect, and all the forces in heaven and earth are watching Qin."

"If Wuzhuang Temple and West Kunlun directly submit, it will make Qin the target of public criticism in an instant, allowing these forces to unite completely, which is unfavorable to the big picture."

Ying Zheng’s eyes showed deliberation, fully perceiving the situation in all of heaven and earth.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then what does Your Majesty require us to do?"

"Just lie low for now."

"In the Nan Zhanbu Continent, when the great calamity begins, Qin will launch an attack, advancing step by step."

"At that time, Wuzhuang Temple and West Kunlun will certainly aid Qin."

Ying Zheng turned around, smiling slightly.

"I understand now."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly.

Then.

He suddenly remembered something, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Speaking of which, when the great calamity started, the Buddhist Sect also sent someone to Wuzhuang Temple once."

"Eighty-one tribulations, allowing Wuzhuang Temple to complete one tribulation."

"After all, if indeed there is a child of calamity who starts Journey to the West, Wuzhuang Temple is also a necessary passage."

"So the Buddhist Sect is showing goodwill to us as well."

Upon hearing this.

Ying Zheng displayed a meaningful smile: "Since the Buddhist Sect is offering Merit Points, then take them."

"I might as well tell Daoist friend, the child of calamity determined by fate, two are already under Qin’s control, and they are the most crucial ones."

"In the past, when Tathagata personally came to Qin, was it because of this matter?"

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly realized, immediately recalling the day when Duo Bao Tathagata unexpectedly stepped into Qin.

However.

Aside from a few who paid attention, no one else knew of this.

And coincidentally, Zhen Yuanzi knew about it.

"Indeed. On the surface, I and Feng’er handed one of the child of calamity to the Buddhist Sect, but in reality, this child of calamity has already fully submitted to Qin, and what he learned and cultivated is our Qin Martial Arts."

"Now, we just wait for the great calamity to begin."

Ying Zheng smiled faintly, everything was under control.

"Moreover, I can tell the two of you that this great calamity is unlike any previous ones, perhaps even more involved and widespread than the Divine Enthronement calamity of the past."

"Heavenly Dao Hong Jun is also returning because of the onset of the great calamity, he will certainly have a grand scheme."

"Perhaps Saints will also return before long."

Zhen Yuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West, upon hearing this, both had a subtle change in expression, the two remained silent, silently absorbing this astonishing news.

They could never have imagined that in secret, Qin had already laid such a deep plan, with even the children of calamity being under Qin’s control.

Moreover.

Thinking about the return of the Saints, this also gave them an unspeakable feeling.

"In that case, we will follow Your Majesty’s command."

"Whenever it is necessary for Wuzhuang Temple and West Kunlun to fully integrate into Qin, Your Majesty only has to say the word."
