Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 1086: Chapter 460: Uniting Against Qin Court? (2)

Thinking of this, Turquoise Pool’s heart was filled with entanglement and helplessness.

Duo Bao Tathagata saw Turquoise Pool’s expression waver and continued to press his advantage: "Daoist, everything is for smoothly passing through this Great Calamity! If we don’t firmly grasp this Great Calamity in our hands, it might truly evolve beyond control! If we want to get through it, then we must ensure this scripture‑retrieval undertaking is successfully completed."

"The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect should have joined hands from the start, advancing together and facing this Great Calamity as one."

"Cooperation and mutual benefit."

Turquoise Pool remained silent for a long time, weighing the pros and cons over and over in her heart.

In the end.

She gritted her teeth, gave a slight nod, and said, "Enough, enough, since it is for the Great Calamity, for that Merit and Qi Fortune, this palace will agree to this matter. But I hope the Buddha can restrain that child of the calamity well, and not let him cause too outrageous a disturbance."

Duo Bao Tathagata pressed his palms together, a smile on his face: "Amitabha, Daoist, you understand the greater good; the Buddhist Sect will surely remember this. Though the child of the calamity will make a ruckus, everything remains within our control; we will definitely not make things too difficult for the Heavenly Court."

Having said that!

"Then let it be as Daoist wishes," Turquoise Pool said.

Yet in the depths of her heart, looking at this seemingly gentle expression of Duo Bao Tathagata, Turquoise Pool was thinking that in this Great Calamity, all factions were contending in secret, and how things would ultimately develop in the future was truly beyond her ability to foresee.

The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect working together.

On the surface, the two strongest forces under Heaven joining hands looked like a sure thing, but there were far too many unstable factors lurking in the dark.

However.

For the Heavenly Court, for the gravely wounded Hao Tian.

For now they could only let the Buddhist Sect take the lead.

And having obtained Turquoise Pool’s consent, Duo Bao Tathagata secretly let out a breath of relief.

Of course.

On his face he still maintained a steady expression.

Duo Bao Tathagata paused slightly, then asked as if unintentionally, "Daoist, it has been a long time since I have heard any news of Daoist Hao Tian; I wonder if Daoist Hao Tian is well now? Has his cultivation made any progress?"

Hearing this question, Turquoise Pool’s heart suddenly tensed.

But her face remained calm and unruffled as she replied evenly, "Your Majesty is still in seclusion, focusing on comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi in hopes of going a step further."

"Daoist must also be aware that Hongmeng Purple Qi is the Foundation of Saint, its mysteries endless, naturally impossible to comprehend in a short time."

Turquoise Pool’s voice was steady, without the slightest ripple, as though everything were just as she said, entirely ordinary.

Duo Bao Tathagata gave Turquoise Pool a deep look, trying to catch the slightest hint of abnormality from her expression.

However.

Turquoise Pool’s disguise was nearly flawless; after all, she had sat in a high position for many years.

Duo Bao Tathagata did not discover any flaws.

"So long and yet not a single ripple."

"Hao Tian seems to have vanished between Heaven and Earth."

"Could this Hongmeng Purple Qi truly be as the Supreme said, not actually genuine Hongmeng Purple Qi?" Duo Bao Tathagata thought to himself.

Thinking that even now Hao Tian had not achieved any results.

This could not help but make Duo Bao Tathagata think more.

Still, since Turquoise Pool was unwilling to say more, it would not be appropriate to press her.

"So that’s how it is," Duo Bao Tathagata pressed his palms together and said slowly, "then I wish His Majesty Hao Tian an early comprehension of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, to prove the Dao and become a Saint!"

The tone clearly carried a few shades of polite formality; it could not possibly be sincere.

With that said.

"Since the Scripture Seeker has already been arranged."

"This poor monk will first return to Spirit Mountain."

Duo Bao Tathagata pressed his palms together again, then his Lotus Platform rose as he prepared to take his leave.

"Daoist, wait."

Turquoise Pool suddenly called out.

"Does Daoist have anything else?" Duo Bao Tathagata turned his head and asked.

"Has Daoist been to the Qin Court?"

There was a hint of interrogation in Turquoise Pool’s tone.

"Due to certain reasons, I have indeed been there," Duo Bao Tathagata said indifferently.

"Daoist should be clear about the relationship between my Heavenly Court and the Qin Court."

"In the future, the first thing the Heavenly Emperor will do upon leaving seclusion is to destroy the Qin Court."

"If the Buddhist Sect requires my Heavenly Court as a support, then do not interact too closely with the Qin Court." Turquoise Pool spoke with an unmistakably warning tone.

Hearing this.

Duo Bao Tathagata understood.

When he went to the Qin Court, he had not concealed his aura, so the Great Divine Ability Practitioners between Heaven and Earth could naturally observe it, all the more so since it had been an incarnation.

"Daoist can be at ease."

"This seat has no significant entanglements with the Qin Court."

"On the contrary."

"There may well be enmity between our Buddhist Sect and the Qin Court in the future."

"Once the Great Calamity ends, perhaps our Buddhist Sect can join with the Heavenly Court."

Duo Bao Tathagata said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this!

A flash of joy streaked through Turquoise Pool’s eyes.

"Daoist, are these words true?" Turquoise Pool asked.

"Naturally true."

"The existence of the Qin Court."

"Affects our Buddhist Sect, and affects the Heavenly Court even more."

"It should not remain."

Duo Bao Tathagata spoke with great seriousness.

That day in the Qin Capital, seeing so many Buddhist Practitioners, so many pure Buddhist Practitioners, yet they did not revere him at all.

The Qin Court Territory was so vast, and Duo Bao Tathagata could clearly sense that within Qin there existed countless Buddhist Practitioners; if these Buddhist Practitioners were to take refuge in his Buddhist Sect, it would bring endless Qi Fortune.

But!

They did not revere the Buddha, did not revere him, and did not regard their Spirit Mountain Buddhist Sect as the highest sacred authority.

"Good!"

Turquoise Pool also nodded with a face full of smiles.

"In days to come, when the Great Calamity ends, my Heavenly Court will join hands with the Buddhist Sect; we must wipe out this Qin Court."

"Their existence has gone too far." Turquoise Pool said coldly.

Ever since the Heavenly Court lost more than half of the Eastern Continent, it had lost how much Spiritual Charm, and how much Power of Faith.

Only the Heavenly Court truly knew all of this.

After the Qin Court took command of that territory.

The Divine Temples of those Heavenly Court Divine were all torn down; the source of the Heavenly Court Divines’ Divine Power, besides the Divine Authority granted by the Heavenly Court, also included the Power of Faith that allowed them to enhance their strength.

It was easy to imagine how much they had lost.

"Then it is settled."

"In the days to come, destroy Qin."

Duo Bao Tathagata said in a deep voice.

"Settled," Turquoise Pool nodded at once.

After the two finished their verbal agreement.

Duo Bao Tathagata turned into a streak of Tunneling Light and left.

Watching him depart.

Turquoise Pool’s expression immediately turned cold.

"Buddhist Sect."

Turquoise Pool murmured softly.

Then she turned into a streak of flowing light and vanished from within the Palace of the Polestar.

When she appeared again, she had already arrived at the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

"Turquoise Pool!"

"What did Duo Bao come for?"

Seeing Turquoise Pool arrive, Hao Tian immediately asked.

"Husband, how is your recovery?" Turquoise Pool asked with concern.

"The Physical Body might recover in another hundred years or so."

"But the wound to the Primordial Spirit is very difficult; even after thousands of years it will be hard to heal, perhaps it will never heal." Hao Tian said with a face full of hatred.

All of this was Zhao Feng’s doing.

If not for this Hongmeng Purple Qi, how would he have suffered such trauma.

Wounds to the Primordial Spirit are hard to heal!

"Husband."

"Today Duo Bao came for the matter of the Great Calamity."

"And to ask whether the Scripture Seeker had been decided."

"Besides that, he said the child of the calamity will in the future cause a disturbance in our Heavenly Palace." Turquoise Pool said gravely, briefly recounting the matter.

"You agreed?"

Hao Tian’s brows furrowed.

Because of the Qin Court, the Heavenly Court’s prestige had already taken a huge blow; if they let someone wreak havoc again, the Heavenly Court’s prestige would fall to its lowest point.

"For the twenty percent of Merit from this Great Calamity, and the Qi Fortune."

"I had no choice but to agree."

"Husband is now heavily wounded; perhaps only the Merit Power can repair it."

"For husband’s recovery, it is no matter if my Heavenly Court sheds some prestige."

"Furthermore."

"Duo Bao already plans to cooperate with my Heavenly Court; after the Great Calamity, the Buddhist Sect will join with my Heavenly Court to destroy the Qin Court." Turquoise Pool said coldly, killing intent surging in her eyes.

"Twenty percent of the Merit after the Great Calamity."

Hearing this.

A burning light also flashed in Hao Tian’s eyes.

"Given my current injuries, perhaps only this Merit can repair them."

"Enough, enough."

"Since the Buddhist Sect wants to let that child of the calamity grow, and under the Great Calamity wants to let that child of the calamity create a commotion, let him be."

"Everything is for Merit."

Hao Tian let out a sigh.

For the sake of his own recovery, Hao Tian no longer cared about anything else.

Seeing this.

Turquoise Pool also let out a breath of relief.

She had truly been worried that Hao Tian would give up this twenty percent of Merit for the sake of the Heavenly Court’s dignity.

"Husband, just focus on nursing your injuries."

"Everything in the Heavenly Court, leave to me." Turquoise Pool comforted him.
