All Heavens: Start with the Heaven-Covering Sacrifice

Chapter 122 Amitabha and Maitreya Zhao Qian
In the Western Paradise, the future Maitreya entered the other shore temple belonging to Amitabha Buddha and personally performed to Amitabha Buddha the scene that he had witnessed with his own eyes.

"Amitabha, Yuanshi Tianzun seems to have achieved the state of Taoism with the help of Meng Qi's practice of reducing and seeking emptiness." Maitreya Buddha Zhao Qian bowed down in worship to the golden statue of Buddha standing tall in the center of the Pure Land of Buddhism.

The golden body of Amitabha Buddha stands tall and upright, and the perfect and flawless bright wisdom light behind his head shines upon the entire Western Paradise, making all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who hear the Dharma in the Pure Land become more wise and clear-minded, and their understanding of the sea of ​​suffering in the world become more profound.

The scenes of the future Maitreya's evolution did not seem very surprising, which made the future Maitreya confused.

This is a matter of great importance concerning transcendence. The strong men on the other side have been fighting for countless epochs for what they have sought, and now someone has transcended the world again. Amitabha Buddha actually had this reaction, which made Maitreya a little confused.

Amitabha looked at Maitreya with his Buddha eyes and said, "Maitreya, don't take this matter to heart. I and many fellow Taoists already know about this matter. There are mysteries in it, so it is inconvenient to explain it to you."

"Amitabha..." Maitreya heard the words of Amitabha and chanted the Buddha's name for a long time.

But his heart was not at peace. What mystery could make an ancient figure like Amitabha Buddha, who could compete with the Lord of Morality, remain silent?

And from the tone of Amitabha Buddha, he could not sense any panic, neither hurried nor slow, as if the transcendence of Yuanshi Tianzun and Jin Huang had no effect on this ancient Buddha.

He wanted to ask, but didn't know how to say it. However, when he thought of Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang both reaching the other side, the hesitation in his heart disappeared instantly, and he boldly asked what was in his mind.

"Amitabha, you seem to be indifferent to the transcendence of Yuanshi Tianzun and Jin Huang. Can I know the reason?" Maitreya looked at Amitabha and asked.

"Of course, Maitreya," Amitābha responded.

For a moment, a feeling of great joy permeated the pure land of the Western Paradise. That was the joy of all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

"Maitreya, all Buddhas, look at how I am different from before." The voice of Amitabha Buddha spread throughout the Pure Land of Buddha.

All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were puzzled when they heard this. As Amitabha is the oldest Buddha in Buddhism and has existed since the creation of the world, how could he be different?
The next moment, when their eyes turned to Amitabha Buddha, they realized that there was a difference in their own memories. Waves of memories emerged in the minds of countless Buddhas and Perfect Enlightenment Bodhisattvas in the infinite world.

The Amitabha in my memory and the Amitabha in front of me are not the same person!

"Amitabha……"

In the Western Pure Land of Bliss, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas chanted the Buddha's name in unison, their hearts trembling endlessly, almost falling from the eternal and unchanging state of perfect enlightenment, the inner demons of all living beings.

Among all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Maitreya was the one with an expression of disbelief.

He was a person with great supernatural powers. He could maintain his own reality in the midst of dreams and illusions. He was also the object of Amitabha Buddha's practice of reduction and emptiness. However, he had never noticed that this most ancient Buddha had been replaced by someone at some point.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, Miroku's body became extremely stiff.

This face is exactly the same as the Yuanshi Tianzun seen in Yuxu Palace!
Even when his mind was extremely empty, Maitreya discovered that the appearance of the Golden Mother was very similar to his own.

"Who are you? Where has Amitabha gone?" Although Maitreya's heart had sunk to the depths of hell, he calmed down his thoughts after a moment and calmly started a conversation with the mysterious strong man who replaced Amitabha.

Maitreya didn't know why this strong man suddenly cleared the fog of memory and revealed his true appearance.

But he realized that if he wanted to know where the real Amitabha Buddha had gone, he might only be able to find out from the mouth of this fake Amitabha Buddha.

"I am also Amitabha. As for the Amitabha in your memory, he has transcended the world and achieved the realm of Tao fruit." Amitabha said, and the Buddha's voice spread throughout the three realms and six paths, and in the Buddha and Bodhisattva realms, stabilized the state of mind of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

It is true that Amitabha Buddha has already transcended and attained enlightenment?

When Maitreya heard this, his first feeling was that it was fake, but his spiritual intuition told him that it was not a lie! Thinking about himself as the object of Amitabha's reduction and seeking emptiness, and thinking about Amitabha's silent transcendence, Maitreya felt complicated for a while.

Is he an illusion created by Amitabha Buddha?

“It’s not what you think. If I weren’t there, you would indeed be the object of Amitabha’s practice of reduction and emptiness. It’s just that because of my arrival, Amitabha has a better choice.” said the incarnation of Amitabha.

Miroku didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long while, he finally calmed down and looked at the new Amitabha Buddha in front of him, and asked, "Then I don't know why you suddenly revealed your true self and let me see this scene. What is your purpose?"

"Amitabha~, since you asked about the reason, I will tell you the reason. There is no other reason." said the incarnation of Amitabha.

At this point, the incarnation of Amitabha paused, looked up into the void, and said, "Amitabha, do you want to respond to your good disciple?"

? ?
When the future Buddha Maitreya saw this scene, he was full of question marks.

He looked towards the void of the Buddha's kingdom and did not feel anything unusual. He glanced at this 'Amitabha' and did not know what He meant.

"Maitreya, just follow him and practice. Maybe we will meet again someday."

Suddenly, Maitreya heard a familiar voice coming to his ear, which was the Buddhist voice of Amitabha in his memory.

"Amitabha, is that you? Have you really achieved enlightenment?" Maitreya couldn't help but shout out.

But Amitabha did not respond to him again.

Maitreya looked at the fake Amitabha in front of him and felt that this mysterious and powerful person was playing a trick on him.

But the next moment he heard the words of Amitabha again, but they were not spoken to him, but a conversation with this mysterious and powerful man.

“Fellow Daoist He Lang, stop playing around and quickly create the Supreme Daluotian that you mentioned to lend a helping hand to us. In the future, if you have any requests, we will do whatever you want.” The voice of Amitabha was a little hazy, but Maitreya was very sure that it was the voice of Amitabha.

We? It seems that Amitabha Buddha is not the only one who has transcended. Could it be that?
When Amitabha thought of this, his heart trembled.

I couldn't help but think of the two ancient figures, Yuanshi Tianzun and Jinmu, whom I saw in Yuxu Palace.

After hearing what Amitabha said, he realized that the real name of the mysterious and powerful man who replaced Amitabha was He Lang.

He Lang?

A flash of light emerged from his memory. Several decades ago, there was a being called He Lang in the real world who appeared briefly and then disappeared. At that time, he was walking in the real world as a disciple of Tushita Palace. He originally thought that he had returned to Tushita Palace, but he didn't expect...

What shocked Maitreya even more was that He Lang could actually communicate with a transcendent person!
Before this, there was only one Dao Zun who reached the Dao Fruit realm. However, after Dao Zun achieved the Dao Fruit realm, he never appeared in the heavens and myriad worlds. All living beings conceded that the Dao Fruit realm could not interfere in the world.

From what we see, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Amituo was just about to listen to the conversation between He Lang and Amitabha, but found that he could not hear anything clearly. He looked at He Lang and found that he was still there, as if communicating something with someone.
