Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

Hearing Kunpeng's words, Bodhi Buddha was overjoyed.

Kunpeng has already made his point so clear, so isn't it a done deal?!

In other words, from now on, Kunpeng, this innate holy and quasi-saint peak powerhouse, will be the Buddha in the Western Buddhist sect!

The joyful Bodhi Buddha couldn't help but think of Kong Xuan.

You, Kong Xuan, betrayed my West and joined the Xuanmen. Now, Kunpeng has come to my West. When my West prospers, I will make you, Kong Xuan, pay the price you deserve!

Didn't you, Kong Xuan, abandon the position of the Great Bright King Bodhisattva?

Since that is the case, this Bodhisattva position will be handed over to Kunpeng, and from now on Kunpeng will be the Kunpeng Great Bright King Bodhisattva of my Western Vulture Peak!

The old Buddha Bodhi's idea was to hand over the Bodhisattva status of the Great Bright King Bodhisattva to Kunpeng.

After all, the previous Great Bright King Bodhisattva was Kong Xuan, who was also a peak Quasi-Saint. So, it is not an insult to Kunpeng to have Kunpeng become the Great Bright King Bodhisattva.

Furthermore, the Bodhisattva status of the Great Bright King Bodhisattva is also very important to Western Buddhism...

Previously, Kong Xuan occupied the position of the Peacock King Bodhisattva, partly because he carried a portion of the Western fortune and merits, and partly because he connected the West with the Phoenix Clan behind Kong Xuan.

The Kunpeng of today is similar in spirit.

Kunpeng is a demon master of the demon race. Although the ancient demon court has been destroyed, Kunpeng still has some influence in the North Sea...

In the primordial world, the North Sea Demon Master Palace can be considered a powerful force.

Although the true lineage of the demon race is not with Kunpeng, and most demons reside in Beiju Luzhou, there are still quite a few demons in the North Sea who are under Kunpeng's protection.

Now that Kunpeng has entered Mount Ling, it is equivalent to the North Sea Demon Master Palace's forces entering Mount Ling. Kunpeng's occupation of the Great Bright King Bodhisattva position can also merge the fortunes of Mount Ling and the Demon Master Palace behind Kunpeng into one.

For Western Buddhism, and for the Demon Master Palace behind Kunpeng, an arrangement like that of Bodhi Buddha is undoubtedly excellent…

However, Kunpeng didn't just want the position of Bodhisattva. Similarly, there was also a Buddha on Mount Ling who didn't want Kunpeng to only be eyeing the position of Bodhisattva.

The old Buddha Bodhi smiled and began to speak...

"Amitabha Buddha~ Excellent, excellent~~"

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, your willingness to enter Mount Ling is a double blessing!"

"Fellow Daoist, as you also know, there was previously a Peacock King Bodhisattva in the West."

"But alas, Kong Xuan was ignorant of destiny and did not cultivate good fortune."

"This great calamity of the Journey to the West comes at a time when our West is flourishing, yet Kong Xuan has turned his back on our West and turned to the Xuanmen sect. He is truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

"Now that Kong Xuan has already relinquished the status of the Great Bright King Bodhisattva, since you, fellow Daoist, are willing to enter my Western Paradise, in this humble monk's opinion, it would be better to..."

Before the Buddha could finish speaking, Kunpeng was suddenly startled.

What does that mean?!

What does this mean?!

What does it mean? !

Are they trying to place me, Kunpeng, in the position of the Great Bright King Bodhisattva?!

Dog shit!!!

Who wants to attain the status of a Bodhisattva?!

What I, Kunpeng, desire is the Buddha's position!

You think you can fob off a beggar with a mere Bodhisattva statue?!

Do you really think I, Kunpeng, am like you bunch of bald Western monks, begging for food everywhere?!

No, no... I have to think of a way. I absolutely cannot accept this Bodhisattva status.

I had previously thought that if I had the chance, I would like to have a conversation with the Buddha…

Let's see if we can get the Buddha to lend me a hand.

But who could have imagined that the Bodhi Buddha wouldn't give me a chance at all? If this matter is settled today, how will I ever be able to plot for the Buddha's throne again?!

Kunpeng was extremely anxious, his mind racing as he racked his brains, trying to figure out if there was any way to refuse the Bodhisattva position.

Before Kunpeng could come up with a good idea, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang out, interrupting the old Buddha Bodhi's words...

The one who uttered the Buddha's name was none other than the present Buddha of Vulture Peak, the Tathagata Prabhutaratna.

The Buddha also did not want Kunpeng to become the Great Bright King Bodhisattva of the West. After all, in the Buddha's mind, Kunpeng could become a sharp sword in his hand, a sword to cut down Dipankara Buddha.

If Kunpeng were to become the Great Bright King Bodhisattva, what if Kunpeng didn't aspire to become the future Buddha of Dipankara Buddha?!

So, after understanding the meaning behind Bodhi Buddha's words, the Buddha Tathagata hurriedly shouted a Buddhist chant, interrupting Bodhi Buddha...

Bodhi Buddha, who had been interrupted, frowned slightly and turned to look at Tathagata Buddha, while also thinking to himself.

Why did the Buddha interrupt me?

Does the Buddha not wish for Kunpeng to become the Buddha of the West?

This shouldn't be happening...

The Tathagata of Many Treasures is a good Buddha and a good disciple of our Western Paradise. The matter of the Kunpeng entering the West is entirely beneficial to our Western Buddhism.

How could the Buddha possibly refuse? How could he possibly oppose it?

Is there something this humble monk hasn't considered?

So, was the Buddha reminding this humble monk?

It can only be said that the image that the Buddha had established before was too solid. In the eyes of the two Western Saints, the Buddha was the good Buddha and the good disciple of Iron Rod!

Their only concern is Western Buddhism, and they are single-mindedly pursuing development for the West.

Therefore, when Bodhi Buddha was interrupted by the Buddha, he did not question the Buddha. Instead, he reflected on himself and wondered if there was anything he had not thought of.

Then Bodhi Buddha turned to look at Tathagata Buddha, who was holding a flower in his hand and had a mysterious smile on his face...

"Amitabha Buddha~ Excellent, excellent~"

"With the Sage above and the Demon Master newly arrived, how could our Spirit Mountain not prepare a feast?"

"Why don't we hold a banquet first to entertain the demon master, and then discuss the rest after the banquet?"

Upon hearing the Buddha's words, Bodhi Buddha felt that there was a deeper meaning in the Buddha's words, and that there was a high probability that the Buddha wanted to say something to him, but it might not be convenient to say it in the current situation.

So Bodhi Buddha immediately nodded.

"It was my oversight that led to this - fortunately, the Buddha Tathagata reminded me."

"Today, we will set up a banquet in the Great Buddha Hall to invite Fellow Daoist Kunpeng to our Spirit Mountain."

Kunpeng hadn't expected that the Buddha would actually give him a helping hand. He was originally thinking about how to refuse the position of the Great Bright King Bodhisattva, but he didn't expect that the Buddha would interrupt his plans.

It seems that the Buddha is very likely to be my benefactor, Kunpeng!

no………

I must find an opportunity to communicate with the Buddha.

If the Tathagata Prabhutaratna supports me, then my future Buddhahood will be secure!

Meanwhile, the Buddha was thinking the same thing.

Finally, we managed to fool them...

No, no, I must take advantage of this banquet to communicate with Kunpeng and make him set his sights on the future Buddha position!
