Chapter 1242 Chapter 536: Zhao Feng: After the Cataclysm, I Shall Grant You a Saint Position! (2)

The momentum of Qin's rise cannot be hindered by such means.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly, saying no more.

He understood in his heart that Zhao Feng's words were not without merit.

Now, after years of development and accumulation, Qin's strength is not to be underestimated.

Facing Qin's rise, the Heavenly Court's worries and unease are understandable.

The intention of soliciting other forces is indeed because the Heavenly Court is truly afraid and seeks self-preservation.

Just then, the sound of light footsteps drifted in from afar.

Only to see Zhen Yuanzi's two attendants, Qing Feng and Ming Yue, each carrying a delicate tray, walking steadily forward.

In the tray, held the famous Innate Spiritual Root Fruit in the Earth Immortal Realm, the Ginsengfruit.

The fruit, shaped like a baby, with a warm sheen, emitted a subtle spirit light, seemingly containing endless vitality and mysterious power.

"Your Highness."

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said, "This is the specialty of my Wuzhuang Temple."

"Though this Ginsengfruit offers limited enhancement to Your Highness's cultivation, it is nonetheless a scarce Spirit Fruit in the world, and I ask Your Highness to taste it."

Thus said.

Zhen Yuanzi raised his hand slightly, signaling the two attendants to place the Ginsengfruit on the table.

Qing Feng and Ming Yue carefully placed the tray on the table, their movements gentle for fear of losing this precious Spirit Fruit.

After placing it perfectly, they couldn't help but sneak glances at Zhao Feng, filled with curiosity.

In their hearts, Master Zhen Yuanzi is one of the top powerhouses in the world; he is knowledgeable, composed, and dignified. Yet today, in the presence of this Highness, he showed exceptional respect, which was surprising to them.

Looking at the Ginsengfruit on the table, Zhao Feng's lips curved slightly, revealing a smile: "How could I not accept the good intentions of a Daoist friend."

However, after a brief pause in speech, Zhao Feng's tone changed: "But, Daoist friend, I come to Wuzhuang Temple today not only for the matter of the Buddhist Sect's tribulation, but also for another matter."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's expression became serious, immediately waving to Qing Feng and Ming Yue: "You must withdraw first, until I instruct otherwise, no one is to approach."

"Yes, Master."

Qing Feng and Ming Yue respectfully bowed and then turned to leave swiftly.

After the two attendants left, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Zhao Feng, respectfully saying, "Your Highness, please speak."

At this moment.

Zhen Yuanzi focused his gaze on Zhao Feng.

"Since Daoist friend has joined Qin," Zhao Feng said slowly, his gaze deep with meaning, "I shall point out two paths for your future."

"Firstly, the Saint's Path."

"Secondly, the Primordial Chaos Dao."

"I promised to help Daoist friend prove the Dao and become a Saint, a method that requires the power of Primordial Heaven and Earth."

"However, the final choice still depends on Daoist friend's will."

After the words fell.

"May I ask Your Highness,"

Zhen Yuanzi gently furrowed his brow, pondering briefly before asking: "What are the differences between relying on Primordial Heaven and Earth to prove the Dao as a Saint and the Primordial Chaos Dao?"

At this moment.

In Zhen Yuanzi's eyes was doubt and the search for knowledge.

He naturally understood what the existence of a Saint is, but when it comes to the Primordial Chaos Daluo, Zhen Yuanzi was quite unclear.

After all, Hong Jun once severed the path of Primordial Chaos in the past.

At this moment.

Since Zhao Feng provided him with options, Zhen Yuanzi faced a significant choice concerning his future, naturally hoping to understand more clearly.

"Relying on Primordial Heaven and Earth to prove oneself as a Saint will closely connect one with Primordial Heaven and Earth, using the three Rule Powers, the Three Corpses Unification, achieving the Saint Realm, not only possessing the Saint's Power but also invoking the power of Primordial Heaven and Earth."

Zhao Feng patiently explained: "However, if Primordial Heaven and Earth were to fall, the Saints within Primordial Heaven and Earth would fall from their Saint Position and even face the risk of falling."

"The Primordial Chaos Dao is entirely different; this path requires comprehending and mastering rules to prove the Dao, enabling one to roam freely between Heaven and Earth, delve into chaos, travel through the heavens, unrestricted by the limits of Heaven and Earth."

"In Primordial Heaven and Earth, Saints are mighty, but beyond Primordial Heaven and Earth, the Primordial Chaos Daluo prevails."

"However, if the future sees the elevation of Primordial Heaven and Earth, the Saints within will also benefit from it, their strength increased."

Zhao Feng's articulation was clear and concise, thoroughly explaining the differences between Saints and the Primordial Chaos Daluo.

After listening, Zhen Yuanzi fell into deep thought.

His eyebrows were tightly knitted, his eyes revealing a tangled expression.

These two paths each have their advantages and disadvantages; deciding which to choose proved difficult for him.

He understood well that this decision would impact his future Dao.

"Your Highness."

After a long while, Zhen Yuanzi lifted his head, his expression firm as he spoke: "I am born and nurtured by Primordial Heaven and Earth. If in the future Primordial Heaven and Earth face the threat of extinction, I will do everything in my power to protect it."

"Primordial Heaven and Earth brought me to life, so I shall live and perish with it."

"If I can become a Saint of Primordial Heaven and Earth, I will take safeguarding it as my duty."

Zhen Yuanzi's tone was decisive, his eyes filled with resolve and determination.

At this moment, he had made his choice.

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Feng's eyes flashed with appreciation; he was not surprised by the outcome.

In his view, considering Zhen Yuanzi's character and deep affection for Primordial Heaven and Earth, such a choice was natural.

"Very good."

Zhao Feng smiled, his tone carrying a hint of gratification: "After the tribulation, I promise you a Saint Position!"

This was Zhao Feng making an unshakable promise to Zhen Yuanzi.

"I thank Your Highness for your great kindness."

Zhen Yuanzi stood up, respectfully bowing to Zhao Feng, his eyes filled with gratitude.

At this moment.

Zhen Yuanzi's heart was also filled with anticipation for the Saint Position, as below a Saint, all others are mere ants; how could he not aspire for it!

"Alright."

Zhao Feng slightly waved his hand, gesturing for Zhen Yuanzi to sit down: "Now, let's talk about the Westward Journey Tribulation."

"The Buddhist Sect asked you to set up a tribulation, are you planning to use the Ginsengfruit as an opportunity to schematize the Buddhist Sect?"

After speaking.

Zhao Feng looked towards the depths of Wuzhuang Temple, where the Ginseng Fruit Tree was located.

"Your Highness, how did you know?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Internally, he marveled that Zhao Feng could see through his thoughts; this insightfulness was truly admirable.

Indeed.

This was something Zhen Yuanzi had not shared with anyone.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree held exceptional significance for Zhen Yuanzi.

It's not only the fruit borne from the Spirit Root administered by Zhen Yuanzi but also the embodiment of his benevolent thoughts.

All along, the Ginseng Fruit Tree lacked the opportunity for the Five Elements to converge, while the Three Light Divine Water held by the Bodhisattva Guanyin of the Buddhist Sect was what Zhen Yuanzi longed for.

If the Ginseng Fruit Tree could be watered with the Three Light Divine Water, not only would its foundation be strengthened, but Zhen Yuanzi's own cultivation might also improve.

For a cultivator of his realm, each cultivation advancement is as challenging as ascending to heaven.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't let this rare opportunity slip by.

On one hand, he aimed to utilize the tribulation to obtain some Merit Points; on the other, he hoped also to enhance his own power through it.

After all, Wuzhuang Temple sits at the junction of Nan Zhanbu Continent and Western Continent; the Buddhist Sect's scripture-seeking team is bound to pass through, a chance that Zhen Yuanzi would not miss.

"You want the Three Light Divine Water, I can give it to you."

Zhao Feng smiled.

With a raise of his hand.

A Jade Bottle appeared in his hand, which he then waved towards Zhen Yuanzi.

"Your Highness actually also has the Three Light Divine Water," Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed in surprise.

"Obtained by chance," Zhao Feng replied with a smile.

"Your Highness."

"Regarding the Buddhist Sect's tribulation, are you planning for me to do something?"

"Is it to hinder the Buddhist Sect's scripture-seeking? Or something else?" Zhen Yuanzi asked straightforwardly.

"Do you think the Three Ancestors of the Buddhist Sect genuinely coexist harmoniously?" Zhao Feng smiled, suddenly posing a question.

Upon hearing this question.

Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a moment, then said, "Not necessarily."

"Back when Duo Bao Tathagata transformed into a Bodhisattva, Dipankara was the sect hierarch of the Buddhist Sect, bearing endless Qi Fortune of the Buddhist Sect."

"Once Duo Bao Tathagata transformed, he became the sect hierarch, and Dipankara thus became the Past Buddha."

"But I understand Dipankara; his ambition is great, unwilling to stay behind the scenes."
