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

The Buddha silently gave himself a thumbs up for his own cleverness.

I, the little mouse, am just too clever!

Not only could he make Kunpeng a sharp weapon in his hands, but he could also scheme against Dipankara Buddha and establish a strong public image in front of the Western saints.

I, the Buddha, am willing to donate even innate spiritual treasures free of charge. Who will dare to say that I, the Buddha, am not wholeheartedly dedicated to the development of Western Buddhism?!

If anyone dares to say such a thing in the future, the sage will probably slap him across the face first!

After seeing that Bodhi Buddha had agreed to the matter, Tathagata Buddha spoke again.

"Sage... If it were to directly test Kunpeng in a moment, it would be too abrupt. So, perhaps I should first test Kunpeng to see if he has the spirit to dedicate himself to the West."

"If Kunpeng is worthy of the position of Buddha, then the sage can test him a bit more. But if Kunpeng comes to my Western Mountain only to seek benefits and has no intention of making any contribution, then this matter will be dropped."

The Buddha's suggestion was not actually to test Kunpeng, but rather to have a pre-emptive exchange with him...

At this moment, the Buddha Tathagata was unaware that Kunpeng had already set his sights on the Buddha's position as the Ancient Buddha of Dipankara.

Therefore, the Buddha was thinking that he could give Kunpeng a boost and make Kunpeng set his sights on the position of Dipankara Buddha.

Bodhi Buddha naturally didn't know what Tathagata Buddha wanted to do. He thought Tathagata Buddha was real and wanted to test Kunpeng in advance. He even thought that Tathagata Buddha's arrangement was quite prudent.

After listening to the Buddha's words, Bodhi Buddha nodded in satisfaction.

"Amitabha Buddha~~ Excellent, excellent~~"

"The Buddha's arrangement is naturally excellent!"

"Perfect timing. The banquet in the Great Buddha Hall is still being prepared. Buddha Tathagata can take this opportunity to test Kunpeng first."

"If Kunpeng is willing to make the sacrifice, then this humble monk can then speak and finalize the matter."

"This way, there will be absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!"

"As for Dipankara Buddha, you need not worry about him, Tathagata."

"It is this humble monk who proposes that Dipankara Buddha temporarily relinquish his position as Buddha, so our Buddha Tathagata need not worry at all that Dipankara Buddha will hold a grudge against you."

"Not to mention you're willing to offer up a primordial spiritual treasure. Not only will Dipankara Buddha not resent you, he might even thank you..."

"When Dipankara Buddha's cultivation returns to the peak of Quasi-Saint, that will be the time for him to ascend to the position of Buddha again."

"By then, Dipankara Buddha will surely understand our good intentions."

Upon hearing this, the Buddha was taken aback, not expecting such a pleasant surprise!

Bodhi Buddha's words were clearly an attempt to take the blame for himself!

This matter was proposed by Bodhi Buddha. At that time, even if Dipankara Buddha wanted to hate, he would only hate the Western Saints, not me, the Tathagata Buddha.

Even I, the Tathagata Buddha, might become his benefactor, since I gave him a primordial spiritual treasure free of charge.

Hehehe………

The villains are played by Bodhi Buddha, while I, Tathagata Buddha, am not only a good person on Kunpeng's side, but also on Dipankara Buddha's side.

At that time, I, the Rat, can completely use this persona to scheme against Kunpeng and Randeng!

After all, in their eyes, I, the Buddha, am always a good person.

At this moment, the Buddha began to plot again, but he did not show it on his face.

The Buddha Tathagata respectfully bowed to the Bodhi Buddha…

"Amitabha Buddha~~ Excellent, excellent~~"

"Previously, I was quite worried that Dipankara Buddha would resent me, and that he would be at odds with me after he returned to the peak of Quasi-Saint and ascended to the position of Buddha."

"I never imagined that the sage would even think of this..."

The old Buddha Bodhi simply waved his hand dismissively.

"Ah... Buddha Tathagata, there is no need to be alarmed. You have devoted yourself to the Western Buddhist path, and as a saint with three corpses, it is only right and proper for me to bear some of the burden for you."

"This matter is settled. Buddha Tathagata need not say more. You go and test Kunpeng first. I will bring up the matter of Dipankara Buddha."

Upon hearing this, the Buddha stood up and respectfully performed another Buddhist salute.

"Amitabha Buddha~~ Excellent, excellent~~"

"Your disciple will humbly obey the Sage's decree!"

Thus, the conversation between the Buddha and the Bodhi Buddha settled all the subsequent developments of this matter.

Even the Buddha himself did not expect that everything would go so smoothly.

We'll see what Kunpeng does in a moment. If Kunpeng intends to seize the Buddha's position from Dipankara Buddha, that would be perfect.

If Kunpeng doesn't have it... then we must make sure he does, no matter what!

Anyway, Kunpeng and Randeng are destined to fight, that's what I, Duobao, said!!!

After the matter was settled, Bodhi Buddha and Tathagata Buddha left the meditation room one after the other.

The main hall was as lively as ever, with a banquet being prepared. Kunpeng, a newcomer, was still talking with a large group of Western Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Maitreya Buddha showed no unusual reaction, continuing to watch the scene unfold in the main hall with a smile…

The ancient Buddha with the combustible lamp became increasingly restless.

Because Dipankara Buddha discovered that ever since Kunpeng arrived at the Mahavira Hall, his own sense of urgency had become increasingly stronger.

Especially whenever I look at Kunpeng.

There will always be that feeling of unease in my heart...

The ancient Buddha of the combustible lamp had pondered this countless times, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out.

Why did Kunpeng inspire you to do something so impulsive?

Why do I feel uneasy when I see Kunpeng?

Why is this happening...?

Kunpeng cannot be an enemy of the West, so naturally it will not be an enemy of this humble monk.

But a sudden whim can't be faked!

Something is wrong!

Something is very, very wrong!

etc…………

Where did the Buddha go?

And where did Bodhi Buddha go?

I didn't notice for a moment what the two of them were doing.

Dipankara Buddha had been keeping an eye on Kunpeng; after all, the feeling of that sudden impulse was too strong, and Dipankara Buddha couldn't help but pay attention to Kunpeng.

Therefore, Dipankara Buddha did not notice the scene of Tathagata Buddha and Bodhi Buddha leaving the Mahavira Hall for the meditation room...

Just as Dipankara Buddha noticed that the two were not there, he saw Tathagata Buddha and Bodhi Buddha return to the Mahavira Hall one after the other.

Upon seeing the two, Dipankara Buddha felt not at ease, but rather his unease intensified.

This made Dipankara Buddha almost go numb...
