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

Then the Buddha sighed again…

"Alas... Your Majesty, these are words that should not have been spoken by this humble monk."

"After all, saying these words will inevitably offend Dipankara Buddha, and Dipankara Buddha will probably hate this humble monk to death."

"But as the Tathagata Buddha, as the present Buddha of my Western Buddhism, I must be responsible for my Western Buddhism, for my Western Vulture Peak, and for the two sages!"

"Therefore, this humble monk has dared to speak these words today, and I beg Your Majesty not to take offense!"

"In my humble opinion, making Kunpeng the Great Bright King Bodhisattva of the West is not the best choice."

"The position of the Buddha of the Three Worlds in the West is currently unstable. According to the sage, we need to find a magic weapon for Dipankara Buddha to sever the three corpses again, but this will take time..."

"But if something unexpected happens in the primordial world during this period, how should our Spirit Mountain respond?"

"And what about the Xuanmen Heavenly Court? Will they take advantage of the instability of my position as the Three Buddhas of the West, and the instability of my Western destiny, to cause trouble?"

"The people of the Xuanmen sect lack martial virtue, especially that Li Xuancang. This boy acts without any regard for appearances, and even the Sage knows about it!"

"If the Heavenly Court were to cause trouble during this period when the three Buddhas of Mount Ling are unstable, it would be extremely detrimental to the Western Buddhist sect!"

"Therefore, this humble monk thinks that perhaps we can let Dipankara Buddha relinquish his position as the Buddha of the Past and let Kunpeng take over first."

"Kunpeng is incredibly powerful, reaching the peak of Quasi-Saint realm. He is fully capable of assuming the position of Buddha and of carrying the fortune of our Western Buddhism."

"Of course... this humble monk does not intend for Dipankara Buddha to completely relinquish his position as a past Buddha, but rather to temporarily relinquish it."

"After relinquishing the position of Buddha, Dipankara Buddha should continue to seek spiritual treasures and sever his three corpses as usual. When his strength recovers to the peak of Quasi-Saint, he should then have Kunpeng relinquish the position of Buddha and return it to Dipankara Buddha."

"Isn't this the best of both worlds?!"

"At that time, the fortune of my Spirit Mountain will be stable, and even if the Xuanmen wants to cause trouble, they won't be able to..."

The words of the Buddha caused the old Buddha Bodhi to fall into deep thought.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that the Buddha's arrangement is the most secure and beneficial one for Western Buddhism.

The Buddha's position is located atop the Kunpeng Peak, ensuring the stability of the Western Paradise's fortune and the Buddha's position remains as secure as ever...

The only problem is whether Dipankara Buddha will feel resentful.

After all, this matter requires Dipankara Buddha to temporarily relinquish his position as Buddha.

Seeing the hint of interest on Bodhi Buddha's face, Tathagata Buddha decided to strike while the iron was hot, and so Tathagata Buddha spoke again...

"Your Majesty, I know these words will offend Dipankara Buddha, but for the sake of Western Buddhism, I am not afraid to offend Dipankara Buddha!"

"Because everything I do is for the sake of Buddhism!"

"This disciple also knows that the ancient Buddha Dipankara must be unwilling to temporarily relinquish his position as Buddha."

"Therefore, this disciple is willing to offer a low-grade innate spiritual treasure to help the Ancient Buddha Dipankara sever his three corpses!"

As he spoke, the Buddha took out a magical artifact from his monk's robe...

This magical artifact is a lamp, but although it is called a lamp, its appearance is far inferior to the four innate spiritual lamps.

It looks more like a completely white candle, except that there's a lamp holder stuck in the bottom.

This treasure is called the Primordial White Candle Flame. It was a primordial magic weapon that the Buddha Tathagata found in the primordial world when he was still the Daoist Duobao…

It is classified as a low-grade innate spiritual treasure.

The Buddha Tathagata possessed many magical treasures, after all, his true form was a treasure-hunting rat, and in his early years, the Buddha Tathagata had collected many rare and precious treasures in the primordial world.

The fact that Bodhi Buddha was willing to give away a primordial spiritual treasure to Dipankara Buddha free of charge was quite touching…

After all, innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world have almost disappeared.

It is truly remarkable that the Buddha was willing to offer up a primordial spiritual treasure!

Moreover, this magical artifact seems to match quite well with the Dipankara Buddha.

The coffin lantern of the Dipankara Buddha used to be a sacred treasure. Now that the coffin lantern is gone, replacing it with a white candle seems quite nice.

But how could Bodhi Buddha possibly ask Tathagata Buddha to provide his magic weapon?

After all, the Buddha was wholeheartedly dedicated to the development of the West, so how could we allow the Buddha to lose his precious treasure for this matter?

So Bodhi Buddha immediately spoke.

"What does the Buddha mean by this?"

"The matter of Dipankara Buddha is a major event for our Western Paradise. How can we allow our Buddha Tathagata to lose his Dharma treasures? Dipankara Buddha's Dharma treasures will be handled by my senior brother and me."

"Therefore, Buddha Tathagata, you should quickly withdraw your magical treasure!"

Despite the Buddha's seemingly righteous and glorious words, he actually harbored considerable disdain in his heart.

Does the Buddha have any good magic weapons?

Of course there are! And quite a few!

But how could the Buddha possibly bring out his best magic weapon for the sake of Dipankara Buddha?

Leaving aside other low-grade innate spiritual treasures, even mid-grade innate spiritual treasures are something that Buddha Tathagata possesses several of. But is Dipankara Buddha worthy of using such a treasure?

Giving him a white candle to play with is already a good thing!

A dead coffin board, perfectly paired with a white candle.

However, it was impossible to express what was in one's heart. After hearing what Bodhi Buddha said, Tathagata Buddha hurriedly spoke up.

"Sage above! What is a mere innate spiritual treasure compared to the development of Western Buddhism?!"

"I bring this up today without any selfish motives; it is all for the sake of the West!!!"

While speaking of the Buddha, he placed the white candle in front of the Bodhi Buddha.

The old Buddha Bodhi was deeply moved…

"My Buddha Tathagata! If all the Buddhas of the West were like you, even without divine intervention, I hope they would still flourish!"

"In that case, this innate white candle flame will be handed over to the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, as one of his spiritual treasures for severing corpses. Rest assured, Buddha Tathagata, my senior brother and I will compensate you for your losses."

"As for your suggestion just now... I think we can test Kunpeng first. If Kunpeng is sincere and willing to relinquish the Buddha's position afterward, then let Kunpeng take his place for now..."

Upon hearing Bodhi Buddha's words, Tathagata Buddha knew that the matter was settled.

After that, I only need to give Kunpeng a little pointer, and I believe Kunpeng will definitely not give up this opportunity.

Once Kunpeng attains Buddhahood, then we'll figure out a way to cause some kind of accident to happen to Dipankara Buddha…

By then, who would care about Dipankara Buddha, who had lost his Buddhahood?

I'm afraid no one will care even if he dies!

In this way, the traitor to the Xuanmen sect, Dipankara Buddha, has been completely crushed by him!

Hehe ...
