Honghuang: I am Kuiniu, and I instructed Nuwa to create humans at the beginning.

With the blessing of Heavenly Dao's merits, the cultivation levels of Tang Sanzang and his five disciples have begun to soar madly.

In the end, Tang Sanzang's cultivation level stopped at the half-step saint realm. As long as he had a holy mark, he could directly prove his path to sainthood.

Sun Wukong's cultivation level directly broke through to the late stage of Hunyuan Jinxian, while Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's cultivation level only reached the early stage of Hunyuan Jinxian.

Xiaobailong's strength was originally the weakest. It can even be said that for the original Xiaobailong, even breaking through to the Golden Immortal was a luxury.

Now, Xiaobailong's cultivation has reached the peak realm of Daluo Jinxian with the help of the merits of the Journey to the West.

As Tang Sanzang and his disciples broke through realms one after another, the fortune of Buddhism also began to rise wildly at this moment.

Finally, it actually climbed directly to an unprecedented height. Above the Western Sacred Mountain, waves of meritorious spiritual rains actually fell.

Suddenly, purple clouds appeared in the sky, and golden lotuses gushed out from the ground. Several creatures that had not yet developed spiritual intelligence also developed spiritual intelligence at this moment.

Even all the Buddhist disciples had their cultivation levels improved at this moment. The one with the biggest improvement even improved to a higher realm.

Logically speaking, the limit has been reached at this time, and the Journey to the West should have been successfully completed. After all, the Western Buddhist sect has already obtained all the benefits it deserves.

But at this moment, two people were very anxious. They were the two saints from the West who were observing all this in the chaos, in the Pure Land.

"Brother, why did the fortune of Buddhism suddenly stop rising? Could it be that the Journey to the West is still unable to awaken Buddhism?"

"Or do we need to do something? Do we have to sacrifice our own bodies to succeed, just like Hou Tu awakened the tunnel?"

The Taoist Jie Yin shook his head. "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. The fortune of Buddhism has suddenly stopped rising. It must be restricted by some force."

"If I am not mistaken, it must be Niu Kui from Jiejiao who is secretly causing trouble. After all, in the entire prehistoric world, Jiejiao is definitely the one that hates our Buddhist sect the most."

Hearing that it was Niu Kui who was secretly making trouble, Zhunti Taoist couldn't help but feel a little dejected. After all, even if he was given ten times the courage to face Niu Kui, he wouldn't dare.

In the end, they could only place all their hopes on Hongjun Daozu. After all, Hongjun Daozu had promised them that he could make them the spokespersons of Buddhism.

The two saints of the West left the Paradise without hesitation and went directly towards the Zixiao Palace.

Little did they know that when they left the Paradise and stopped paying attention to the Western Holy Mountain, Duobao Tathagata actually smiled.

The next moment, Duobao Tathagata took a step forward and appeared in the sky above the Great Leiyin Temple.

Even the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit under his feet had burst into brilliant light, enveloping the Tathagata in it.

Immediately afterwards, Vairocana Buddha simply waved his hand, and the three-level lotus platform flew out from his hand.

"My Buddha, how can the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit suppress the fortune of Buddhism? Let's quickly merge these three grades and return them to the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit."

Then, the third-grade golden lotus of merit was seen to merge directly with the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit under the feet of Duobao Tathagata.

With a burst of golden light of merit, the Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit, which had been lost for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, was finally reconstructed.

All of a sudden, the fortune of Western Buddhism began to rise wildly again. Soon it reached a critical point, and as long as it broke through, it would awaken the Buddha.

It's a pity that the two saints from the West didn't see this scene. They were on their way to Zixiao Palace, otherwise they would have been ecstatic.

At this time, Duobao Tathagata was already sitting cross-legged on the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus, silently chanting the Buddha's name. The next moment, Duobao Tathagata opened his eyes instantly, stared straight at the sky, and spoke.

"The Great Dao is above. I am the Tathagata of the Western Buddhist sect. I wish to awaken the Buddha with my own body. When the Buddha awakens, all living beings in the prehistoric world will be blessed by the Buddha."

"When Buddhism awakens, the incomplete world will be completed. I am willing to use my broken body to guide Buddhism to awaken and return."

As Duobao Tathagata finished speaking, brilliant light burst out from his body. Finally, his body shattered like porcelain.

Countless fragments were scattered across the vast land, as if Duobao Tathagata's body had been integrated into the entire vast land.

At this moment, countless evildoers felt guilty, put down their butcher knives, and knelt on the ground, sincerely repenting their sins, and even willing to go to the Nine Netherworld to accept punishment.

Because at this time, Buddhism did not have the rule of laying down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha immediately. At this time, Buddhism also believed that good and evil would be rewarded in the end, which was one of the true rules of the ancient times.

Those who had done good deeds in their lives also received the blessing of the Dharma at this moment. Not only did all their illnesses disappear, but even their lifespans were extended.

The souls who had committed evil deeds in their previous lives and were reborn as animals were redeemed at this moment, allowing them to be reborn as humans in the next life.

All of a sudden, Buddhist sounds were heard all over the vast land. All the Buddhist disciples sat cross-legged and chanted the Buddha's name.

Even those Buddhist believers were now shouting towards the direction of Lingshan Mountain in the west, "Namo Shakyamuni Buddha."

At this time, the luck of Buddhism finally reached its peak. A powerful will returned from the sky, and it was the Great Dao that was awakened by Duobao Tathagata.

As the will of the Great Dao returned, not only Daozu Hongjun felt it. Even the two saints from the West who had just entered the Zixiao Palace were stunned.

At this time, the voice of the Great Dao has sounded, "Buddhism's luck has reached its peak, and Buddhism has awakened."

As the sound of the Great Dao fell, waves of golden light appeared on the Western Holy Mountain. In the golden light, Duobao Tathagata returned stepping on the twelve-level golden lotus of merit.

At this time, Duobao Tathagata finally used the law of the Great Dao Buddha and successfully broke through to the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian realm.

Suddenly, purple air came from the east for 30,000 miles, golden lotus emerged from the ground, flowers fell from the sky, and long garlands hung from the sky.

Countless beings knelt on the ground to congratulate Duobao Tathagata for achieving the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, becoming the third saint in Buddhism after the two saints in the West.

At the same time, behind the Tathagata, the will of Buddha has awakened, and several holy marks of Buddha have also appeared.

"I am Duobao Tathagata. I have now attained the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and have been recognized by Buddhism and Taoism, becoming its spokesperson."

"Today, I, Tathagata, follow the command of the Buddha and establish the holy position for the Buddha. All Buddhist disciples, kneel down and listen to the Buddha's command."

As soon as Duobao Tathagata said this, all the Buddhist disciples, no matter which sect they belonged to, showed anticipation in their eyes.

After all, whether they can obtain the Buddha's holy mark represents whether they can achieve enlightenment and become a saint. Who can resist such a great temptation?

At the same time, the two Western saints who had just stepped into the Zixiao Palace collapsed to the ground. With an unwilling look on their faces, they asked Daozu Hongjun.

"Master, why is it like this?" (End of this chapter)
