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

How would the Buddha react?

The Buddha was overjoyed...

What an unexpected surprise!

In fact, the Buddha Tathagata already knew that Dipankara Buddha would be displeased, but he did not expect that Dipankara Buddha would be so bold.

They actually questioned the saint in the Great Hall of the Buddha, in front of all the Buddhas of Mount Ling.

This is truly a great show, a truly spectacular show!!!

Perhaps Bodhi Buddha felt guilty towards Dipankara Buddha before and tried to compensate him in various ways, but with your outburst, much of that compensation might be lost.

After all, don't saints have any pride?!

To be questioned like this by someone at the early stage of a quasi-saint, how can a saint maintain his dignity before the Buddhas of Mount Ling in the future?!

All I can say is that Ran Deng has really lost his mind...

Kunpeng was just as happy as the Buddha.

Kunpeng hadn't expected that Dipankara Buddha would be so brave!

To contradict a sage in public is something even I wouldn't dare to do.

For a moment, Kunpeng secretly admired Dipankara Buddha and even couldn't help but sigh inwardly...

O Randeng, Randeng, in terms of courage, I, Kunpeng, would call you the strongest!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was extremely solemn.

Although Dipankara Buddha did not say anything particularly offensive, his public rebuttal to a saint was enough to terrify all the Buddhas present.

Bodhisattvas like Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, who were on good terms with Dipankara Buddha, were extremely nervous at this moment…

In fact, they never expected that Dipankara Buddha would do something so irrational.

What can you do even if you are extremely unwilling to do something that has already been decided by the sage?

Do you think that if you confront and question a sage, he will change what he has already decided?

it's out of the question!!!

So you'd be better off not questioning or arguing.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, sitting beside Dipankara Buddha, wanted to offer some words of comfort, but in the current situation, she hesitated to speak.

Bodhi Buddha narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Dipankara Buddha, suppressing his displeasure, and clasped his hands together, chanting a Buddhist prayer…

Amitabha Buddha~

"My Buddha Dipankara, you are indeed without fault, and you have indeed made great contributions to our Western Buddhism."

"But now that your cultivation has declined, you are no longer able to bear the fruit of the past Buddha of the Three Buddhas. If you continue to bear the fortune, it will only make the fortune of my Buddhist sect unstable, giving the Xuanmen sect an opportunity to take advantage of you."

"Everything is for the West, everything is for Buddhism... I hope that Dipankara Buddha can understand."

"Besides, I haven't finished speaking yet. May I allow you to finish?"

Dipankara Buddha's mind cleared up a bit at this moment, and after regaining his senses, he felt some regret, realizing that he had acted impulsively just now...

They actually questioned the saint in front of so many Buddhas.

I'm afraid even the sage would be displeased!

But those words have already been spoken, and it's too late to take them back.

Let's see what the sage wants to say first. From the sage's words, we can tell that there seems to be a chance for things to turn around.

Then, the Dipankara Buddha took a deep breath…

"Amitabha Buddha~ Your Majesty, I have just heard about this matter and find it hard to accept. Therefore, I offended Your Majesty for a moment. Please forgive me."

This time, the old Buddha Bodhi did not speak further, but simply nodded, and then continued…

"As mentioned earlier, Dipankara Buddha was asked to relinquish his position as Buddha. This does not mean that Dipankara Buddha will permanently relinquish his position as Buddha, but only temporarily."

"After all, the current cultivation level of Dipankara Buddha is unstable, which will lead to instability in the fortune of the West."

"With the Kunpeng on top, the three Buddhas of my Ling Mountain can stand side by side again, and the fortune of my Western Buddhism can be stabilized."

"As for Dipankara Buddha, during the time he relinquishes the position of Buddha, he should cultivate and recover his cultivation as soon as possible."

"This humble monk and the Buddha Tathagata each took out a primordial spiritual treasure and gave it to Dipankara Buddha to help him sever the three corpses again."

"Furthermore, the merits of our Western Buddhist sect will be used first to assist Dipankara Buddha in returning to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm as quickly as possible."

"Once Dipankara Buddha's cultivation returns to the peak of Quasi-Saint level, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng will return the position of Buddha to Dipankara Buddha, who will then once again assume the Buddha's throne."

Upon hearing these words from the Bodhi Buddha, all the Buddhas in the Mahavira Hall understood.

It turns out that it wasn't a complete abandonment of the Buddha's position by Dipankara Buddha. It was only temporary. Kunpeng would temporarily take over, and Dipankara Buddha would resume his position as Buddha after his cultivation recovered.

Maitreya Buddha, who had initially appeared solemn, suddenly felt that after understanding the sage's arrangement, this arrangement wasn't so bad after all…

After all, in this way, the three Buddhas of Buddhism will no longer have any flaws, and there will no longer be any instability in their fortune.

Overall, this matter is indeed more beneficial than harmful to the entire Western Buddhist community.

Moreover, the Sage also offered compensation to Dipankara Buddha.

The Buddha and the sage each contributed a primordial spiritual treasure to help Dipankara Buddha sever his three corpses, and they also agreed to allow Dipankara Buddha priority in using Buddhist merits...

In this way, Dipankara Buddha can return to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm as quickly as possible.

Although Maitreya Buddha felt that this arrangement was more beneficial than harmful to Western Buddhism as a whole, he still felt that there were some hidden dangers.

This hidden danger lies with Dipankara Buddha and Kunpeng.

After all, this is the position of Buddha, and the position of Buddha in Western Buddhism is almost equivalent to that of the Jade Emperor and the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Three Realms in the Heavenly Court.

Would the Jade Emperor be willing to relinquish his position as the Great Heavenly Venerable?

Therefore, even if there is some compensation, Dipankara Buddha will probably still harbor resentment.

Another potential problem lies with Kunpeng...

Kunpeng was entrusted with an important task by the Sage as soon as he entered Mount Ling. Although we don’t know what the Sage was thinking, one thing is certain: the Sage must have tested Kunpeng before, and Kunpeng must have indicated that he was willing to give up the position of Buddha in the future.

But this is the seat of Buddha...

Will Kunpeng really be willing to hand it over in the future?!

If Kunpeng is unwilling to relinquish the position in the future, or even secretly causes trouble to avoid handing over the Buddha's throne, it might actually be a loss for Western Buddhism...

Maitreya Buddha's mind raced, and within a short time, he had already thought of many things.

They had even thought through all sorts of potential problems clearly.

All I can say is that Maitreya Buddha truly lives up to his name.

The hidden dangers he thought of were indeed real hidden dangers!

This hidden danger is exactly what Kunpeng is about to do...
