I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 47: Future and Past Buddhas
"Ancient Buddha Randeng requests to see you!"

The moment the ethereal sound rang out, Yuanshi Tianzun felt that the spiritual energy around him had become quiet, and even had a tendency to be still.

The ancient Buddha Dipamkara is also known as the Buddha of the Past and the Universal Light Tathagata. Wherever his body is, all directions are bright, and he does not need the sun, moon, or fire beads.

Yuanshi Tianzun closed and opened his eyes, and the spiritual energy around him returned to normal. He touched his upper and lower lips lightly and said: Please let Puguang Tathagata come in to discuss in detail!

As soon as he finished speaking, the candlelight in front of Yuanshi Tianzun became clearer and clearer, and finally a sixth-grade golden lotus appeared in front of him, on which sat a great monk. He looked very solemn, and his eyes were filled with soft light that made him even more compassionate. Buddha's light was all around him, making people want to get close to him.

"Pu Guang Tathagata is not at Vulture Peak, how could he have time to come here?"

"The Saint is so angry, I came at the wrong time."

The ancient Buddha Dipankara clasped his hands together and spoke with apology, as if he was really uneasy about disturbing the Yuanshi Saint.

Not only that, as the ancient Buddha Dipamkara finished speaking, tens of thousands of candles suddenly lit up, and the flickering candlelight was extremely warm.

The breathing of Yuanshi Saint became much softer, but his eyes as he looked at the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp were full of questions.

"As the only one who can maintain his true form under the Heavenly Dao, the Saint should not be angry. All emotions and desires are influenced by the Heavenly Dao. For the sake of the Saint himself, please stop being angry!"

Saint Yuanshi exhaled deeply, and the waves in his eyes immediately dissipated.

What the ancient Buddha Ran Deng said was right. The Heavenly Dao has been watching him all the time. If he really can't control his emotions, he may really be swallowed up by the Heavenly Dao directly, merge with the Heavenly Dao, and have to leave behind a clone like Laozi.

"Thank you, Pu Guang Tathagata!"

"You are so kind, Saint!"

"I wonder why Pu Guang Tathagata has come this time?"

“Looking at all the births and deaths in the past, I feel compassion in my heart, so I ask the saint to guard his mind to prevent the invasion of the heavenly way!” The ancient Buddha Dipankara waved his monk robe, and more candles lit.

For a moment, the light became brighter.

Seeing this scene, the Yuanshi Saint made a hand gesture with one hand, and the next second, he fell into the candlelight.

It begins with the evolution of the Yuanshi Saint, who was born at the beginning of the universe, and then became a disciple of the Hongjun Patriarch, and then he became a saint, and then he and his senior brother began to plan the catastrophes again and again, until the end of the Conferred God Catastrophe.

call!
The moment the hand seal ended, Yuanshi Saint absorbed all the candlelight into his abdomen, and a faint halo of light emanated from his body. The light was soft but made people feel sacred.

A smile appeared on the corner of the ancient Buddha's mouth. "The Saint's methods are truly becoming more and more superb. He is actually able to devour the entire evolution diagram and use it to fight against the Heavenly Dao. This way, I am relieved."

"Ancient Buddha, did you come here just to help me?" Yuanshi Saint looked at Puguang Tathagata.

"Indeed, I have been contemplating the Buddha's teachings on Mount Vulture Peak for many years. Now that the Buddha is in charge of the Western Paradise, it is very well organized, which has been of great benefit to me. I sensed that the Saint was lacking a helping hand in the Buddha's teachings, so I came here in person."

The voice of the ancient Buddha Dipankara was always slow, and every word he said seemed to come from a very far distance, carrying a heavy sense of vicissitudes.

Yuanshi Saint nodded slightly and said, "Thank you so much, Ancient Buddha. As the ancestor of all Buddhas, you have disregarded the barriers of your sects and are willing to help me. I will remember this kindness. I wonder if there is anything that Ancient Buddha can help me with?"

"The methods of saints have always been unfathomable, and their strategies and moves are beyond our comprehension. This is the last calamity under the Heavenly Dao. I believe the saints must have some plans. But this time, let's do it for the sake of the human race. Please stop!"

The moment the ancient Buddha Dipankara finished speaking, one chain of heavenly laws after another appeared. Thunder and lightning raged on each chain of heavenly laws, and they all fell towards the ancient Buddha in unison.

The ancient Buddha Dipankara lowered his eyes and said: "I have come from the past and have seen endless birth and death. The way of heaven and I are not here at this moment!" Crash!
The chains of heaven all dissipated the moment the ancient Buddha Ran Deng finished speaking, as if the previous powerful force was all fake.

The Yuanshi Sage narrowed his eyes as he watched this scene: "Could it be that the Ancient Buddha's methods can now evade the detection of the Heavenly Dao?"

"If it weren't for this, I would never have dared to come to the Ninth Heaven!" The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng smiled bitterly, "I just don't know what the Saint thinks of my previous proposal!"

Stop!

Just two simple words, but the meaning hidden behind them forced Yuanshi Sage to delve deeper.

In a sense, this Western catastrophe was caused by the Heavenly Dao to complete the cause and effect, which was of great benefit to the Heavenly Dao, but it was not the case for Him.

Therefore, the Yuanshi Saint has already made preparations. That is, at the last moment of the catastrophe, he will take some extraordinary measures and devour some merits for himself so that he can fight against the way of heaven.

But now the appearance of the ancient Buddha Dipankara has given him another possibility to fight against the way of heaven.

"I want to ask the ancient Buddha why he stopped me!"

"The will of heaven is unspeakable, but what I can tell the saint is that the outcome should be much better than what the saint did!" The ancient Buddha Ran Deng said with certainty.

The confidence of the ancient Buddha Dipankara made Yuanshi Saint stunned for a moment.

In his impression, the ancient Buddha Dipankara rarely spoke so confidently. After all, for a person of Dipankara's stature, every word he said was a divine law.

In this case, the fact that the ancient Buddha Dipankara was able to give such a positive answer is enough to show that some things are foreseeable.

"The ancient Buddha's wit is a little obscure to me. Please explain it a little more!" Yuanshi Saint bowed slightly.

The ancient Buddha Dipankara accepted this gift because it was asking about the secrets of heaven and would consume his lifespan.

Seeing that the ancient Buddha Dipankara accepted this gift so openly, the eyes of the Yuanshi Saint were even brighter.

"There are three Buddhas in the world. Besides me, there is also a future Buddha named Maitreya!"

After these words were spoken, Yuanshi Saint suddenly stood up.

puff!
At the same time, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng spat out a mouthful of blood.

Half of the Buddha's light around the ancient Buddha dissipated. Seeing this scene, Yuanshi Saint's face changed drastically.

He understood that, in other words, the ancient Buddha Dipamkara was using the numbers of the future to persuade him to stop.

"Well, I understand. I will try my best to follow the ancient Buddha's words and stop!" Yuanshi Saint bowed again.

A smile appeared on the face of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng: "The saints have their own plans. If they feel that the variables are too great when the catastrophe is progressing, they can certainly take action. But I, the Buddha, have said in the future that if the saints can observe from the sidelines, they will open up a great world!"

puff!
The ancient Buddha Dipankara spat out another mouthful of blood, and even cracks began to appear on his golden body.

"Is it worth it for Gufo to do this?"

"The fall of the Three Realms is the only variable. Even if I die today, what is there to fear?"
