Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 991 - 908: The Sect Hierarch of Buddhism Reflects

Chapter 991: Chapter 908: The Sect Hierarch of Buddhism Reflects

Maitreya Buddha, suppressing the unease in his heart, said with equal authority, "Tathagata, you need not embellish your words. If you think you can force us to bow with your strength, then you are mistaken.

Life and death are like burning flames, filled with suffering. We, who have the heart to save all beings, have long seen life and death as illusions."

The Tathagata Buddha was also somewhat uncertain. This was not Maitreya’s usual style. With his understanding of Maitreya, before he could act, Maitreya would either flee in panic or surrender. He was not the kind of Buddha who would disregard life and death. Could it be that he had another plan, and instinctively thought of Tang Sanzang? Could it be that Maitreya had also pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Court?

The Tathagata Buddha’s thoughts moved, and in an instant, he explored the heavens. There were no Heavenly Court angels nearby, and the Heavenly Emperor was still at the Turquoise Pool and had not left. The Law Enforcement Team was also in the Heavenly Court, and there seemed to be no external aid. However, there was still a faint uneasiness in his heart. To avoid further complications, the Buddha decided to immediately suppress Maitreya and drive him back to the Spiritual Mountain.

The vast voice of the Tathagata Buddha echoed, "To split Buddhism is a great sin. Since you refuse to admit your guilt, I can only enforce punishment." He reached out towards Maitreya and Ran Deng in the distance.

A gigantic Buddha phantom appeared behind the Tathagata, towering to the Thirty-Three Heavens. The illusory Lotus Seat stood upon the earth, the Buddha’s immense head distinct and sharp within the Star Domain, looking down upon the beings below, indifferent and merciless.

The giant hand of the Buddha shadow slowly descended. Boom~ Heavy pressure came from outer space; a golden Buddha hand, blazing with flames, descended as if encompassing the world, every line in the palm resembling a chasm.

All cultivators across the Three Realms looked up in terror at the descending golden Buddha hand. Is this Heavenly Punishment? Is this the power of the Buddha?

Ran Deng and Maitreya could sense the terror of the hand even more acutely. Before it descended, it had already locked down space and time, and heaven and earth seemed to solidify, unable to be moved. A terrifying murderous intent targeted them, leaving no escape or evasion. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ran Deng hurriedly shouted, "Maitreya, aren’t you going to act?"

The Maitreya Buddha suddenly took out a scroll and shouted, "Multi-Treasure Fake Buddha, look, what is this?"

Immediately, he threw the scroll in his hand, and the scroll expanded with the wind, slowly unfolding like a portal standing between heaven and earth, with each character shining brightly.

The Tathagata Buddha’s eyes widened instantly, and the descending Buddha hand suddenly stopped, and the space and time that were locked suddenly relaxed.

Maitreya Buddha rejoiced in his heart; it actually worked.

The Guanyin Bodhisattva and Universal Virtue Bodhisattva were all astonished at the scroll. Qiao Ling’er? Isn’t this the reincarnation of the Buddha? How could the Buddha reincarnate and owe ten billion? All looked in shock at the back of the Buddha’s head—can he repay it?

The towering Buddha phantom in the Thirty-Three Heavens disappeared silently, as if it had never appeared.

Maitreya Buddha laughed heartily and shouted, "Tathagata Fake Buddha, didn’t you say you wanted to suppress this Buddha? If you have the ability, come on!"

The Tathagata Buddha’s face turned green, then white, then red, then green again, a surge of anger rising in his heart, shouting furiously, "Maitreya, you too bear the dignity of a Buddha, yet you colluded with the Heavenly Court’s Gouchen, becoming a Buddhist traitor and a sinner of Buddhism."

Maitreya Buddha laughed heartily and said, "I have never colluded with the Heavenly Court. This is an aid from Brother Gouchen, who sees the injustice within the Buddha Sect and the Evil Buddhas prevailing."

The Tathagata Buddha reprimanded angrily, "Do you not know his malicious intent? He intends to split Buddhism."

Maitreya straightened his back, righteously saying, "Everyone knows that Emperor Gouchen has a clear Dao Heart and a True Spirit without blemish, the conscience of the Primordial World. Do not measure Emperor Gouchen’s noble heart with your petty mind."

The Tathagata Buddha was furious!

Humm~ Suddenly, radiant multicolored light burst forth from the Merit Scroll, and a terrifying will descended out of nowhere.

The Tathagata Buddha’s face changed, and he immediately turned and vanished in an instant.

Only then did the scroll slowly settle down.

Maitreya Buddha laughed loudly and said, "He fled, the Tathagata Buddha actually fled?!"

Both looked up, toward the scroll above, which read: ’In the presence of All Saints, under the witness of the Heavenly Dao, I, Qiao Ling’er, under the guidance of my Master Bai Jin for ten years, in gratitude for his hardships, fully voluntarily offer ten billion Merit Coins as tuition for my Master’s teaching, establishing this as proof. I, Qiao Ling’er, swear by my True Spirit, to repay it in life after life.’

This is the debt scroll.\p>

Maitreya stretched out his hand, and the scroll slowly descended into his hand, his face showing excitement. "Master is amazing!"

Below, in the highlands, all the Buddha Bodhisattvas bowed in unison, excitedly shouting, "Praise to Mahayana Buddha, Namo Maitreya Buddha!"

Maitreya Buddha and Ran Deng disappeared from the sky and appeared in the Snow Mountain Temple, sitting cross-legged on the Lotus Platform.

Maitreya Buddha couldn’t suppress his smile, laughing heartily.

Ran Deng Buddha’s old face also showed a smile, unable to help saying, "I didn’t expect Bai Jin to have left such a move."

Maitreya Buddha laughed heartily and said, "Buddhism has no money; the Tathagata cannot repay it. As long as he cannot repay these debts, he would not dare to face this debt note."

Besides the Tathagata, what else is there to fear in Spiritual Mountain?"

Ran Deng Buddha smiled and said, "Buddha, our Laba Sect should not be limited to one place; we can preach to the outside."

"I leave it to you, Buddha."

...

In the Chaos, within the Pure Land, the Jieyin Buddha sat by the Eight Treasures Merit Pond.

Not far away, the Zhunti Buddha was holding a grass leaf weaving.

"Sigh~" The Jieyin Buddha sighed deeply and said, "Is this the great prosperity of Buddhism?"

The Zhunti Buddha nodded and said, "This is the great prosperity of Buddhism. Although there is competition between the three divisions, they stem from the same source.

In order to criticize the doctrines of the other two sects, each Buddhist sect will put all its efforts into preaching and nurturing disciples, making it more vibrant, not entirely a bad thing!"

"Sigh~ How did it come to this point?!"

The Zhunti Buddha placed the grasshopper woven from grass leaves on the ground and said with a smile, "There’s a saying in the East: people who do not share the same path cannot plan together; they all have their own persistence." The grasshopper came to life as it touched the ground and hopped away.

"Junior brother, why don’t we intervene and unify Buddhism?"

The Zhunti Buddha immediately shook his head and said, "No."

The Jieyin Buddha looked at Zhunti in confusion and asked, "Why?"

The Zhunti Buddha smiled and said, "Maitreya and the others have grown up. They know what they want and what they pursue.

In the past, when Buddhism was still the Western Sect, they developed arduously, with Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, and the Pharmacist working hard, and Ksitigarbha sitting at Yin Mountain for countless years to maintain the Qi Fortune of the Western Sect. I remember all these, but it was hard for them.

Later, when the great prosperity of Buddhism arrived, we let go of the sect leader position, for the first time, to attract Eastern talents, giving the position to Ran Deng, which was our apology for their effort.

The second time, when Multi-Treasure came from the west, to ensure Buddhism had the strongest one present, I secretly promised the position of Buddha to Multi-Treasure, which was again our betrayal to them.

Over the countless years, Buddhism’s growth has involved their contributions, and they owe nothing to Buddhism anymore.

Ksitigarbha leaving Buddhism to enter Taoism was a result of our mistakes as well. Now that Maitreya wants to pursue his own path, what right do we have to stop him? As long as Buddhism can flourish, nothing else matters."
