Honghuang: I am the first disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the gatekeeper of the Great Dao

Chapter 159 Internal strife in the Western Church, on the eve of the catastrophe!
On the top of Mount Sumeru, the sound of Sanskrit is lingering endlessly.

The Buddha and Bodhisattvas chanted Buddhist scriptures in unison, and hundreds of millions of believers and monks put their hands together, showing their piety.

Immersed in the profoundness of Buddhism, the soul can be sublimated in this sacred atmosphere.

At the highest point of the palace, the ancient Buddha Dipankara slowly opened his eyes and his gaze swept across the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas around him.

His face was filled with pain and struggle, and his aura became heavy and vast. His former sharpness and greatness were completely hidden at this moment.

"Fate is inevitable!"

"In the past, Wu Tian personally ended the life of Fu Hu Luo Han, and then disappeared in the nine heavens."

"Now, he has been preparing for a long time and is heading straight for my Mount Xumi. A catastrophe is about to begin."

The ancient Buddha Dipankara sighed softly.

After months of hard work, he still couldn't find a good way out of the impasse, and his anxiety and helplessness were fully revealed.

The two saints of the West went into seclusion to practice, leaving him alone to guard the foundation of Western religion.

However, his realm of cultivation is far inferior to Wujitian, so how can he be willing to sit there and wait for death?

As an innate deity, the ancient Buddha of Dipankara had the honor of listening to the sermons of Hongjun Daozu in Zixiao Palace. Naturally, he disdained to commit the evil deeds of slaughtering all races and seeking personal gain.

However, because he enjoys the honorable position of Buddha, he absorbs countless incense from the world.

As the first person after the two saints of the West, he should have rectified Western religions, but he chose to turn a blind eye and failed to truly sympathize with all living beings.

Under the interweaving of cause and effect, even the ancient Buddha Dipankara cannot escape the entanglement of karma.

Now, Wutan has regarded him as his primary enemy. Although he has taken strict precautions, it is still difficult for him to survive.

"Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, do you have any solution to this problem?"

"To confront Wu Tian head-on is tantamount to seeking one's own death!"

"However, if we give in a little, how can we gain a broader horizon?"

"Anyone who wreaks havoc on the world will be punished by the heavens."

"Even I, the Buddha, cannot protect myself, let alone you!"

"Could it be that we really want to witness the tragic scene of rivers of blood and corpses everywhere?"

When the ancient Buddha Dipankara saw that everyone was keeping their heads down and silent, he felt heartbroken and beat his chest and sighed.

It is indeed difficult to change the situation on one's own.

However, Medicine Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and others all have clear minds of Taoism, great wisdom and great fortune.

The ancient Buddha Dipankara naturally hoped that they could give him some guidance.

The atmosphere in the hall was dead silent, and time and space seemed to have frozen at this moment.

Guanyin Bodhisattva holds a jade bottle in his hand, exuding an extremely peaceful aura.

She spoke softly, her voice flowing like a spring, and said: "Amitabha, Dipankara Buddha, I think the situation has not yet reached the point where both sides will be at risk."

"Since Wu Tian wants to settle accounts with the Western Religion, we will temporarily avoid their attack."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded slightly and continued, "It is true that most Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not truly understand the Buddhist path. They simply occupy high positions, enjoy the incense and worship of the world, and perform the appearance of universal salvation. However, this sin does not warrant death."

"Only those Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, believers and monks who, like the Subduing Tiger Arhat, have killed the lives of all races will fall into eternal damnation and be thrown into the endless hell by Wu Tian."

“So I suggest that we take the drastic measure of cutting off one’s own arm, and let Wu Tian’s might wreak havoc first, and then look for another opportunity.”

As one of the Twelve Golden Immortals in the ancient history, he was a powerful being who had planned eighty-one tribulations during the Journey to the West.

Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly understood the meaning of the Heavenly Way.

Since we are unable to resist, we will just surrender for now.

She knew very well that as long as everyone truly repented and worked hard to benefit all people, she might be able to obtain forgiveness from the God of Heaven.

As for those Western religious people who have committed serious sins, they can only let go with great pain.

After Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the hall.

Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas wailed incessantly, their bodies trembling, as if they had foreseen their own tragic end.

Most of the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas showed joy at having survived a calamity and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Medicine Buddha said righteously: "All Westerners should unite to fight against the evil demon Wu Tian." "If we abandon our former fellow disciples, what is the difference between us and those evil beasts who do not respect etiquette and morality?"

"Put down the butcher knife, and you will become a Buddha instantly; the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, turn back and you will find the shore!"

"I think that asking fellow disciples to atone for their sins with their own death is absurd and against the harmony of heaven."

"Buddha Dipankara, please consider carefully and do not hurt the feelings of your fellow disciples."

As the head of Western religion, Medicine Buddha knows that he cannot give in.

Otherwise, the foundation that Western religions have worked so hard to build and its prestige in the ancient world will be destroyed.

He and his disciples will also be subject to criticism, become the target of public criticism, and become a laughing stock.

No matter how despicable the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, believers and monks are, Medicine Buddha cannot betray Western Buddhism.

He firmly believed that he must stand together with Western religions.

"Big Brother, you are so kind, we are so grateful!"

"Although Wu Tian is an evil demon, no matter how high his realm is, he cannot destroy my entire Western Religion."

"Although we have committed many sins, we still have backbone."

The Happy Arhat is wearing a scarlet cassock, his face is solemn, and a compassionate smile appears between his eyebrows.

Among the Eighteen Arhats, his cultivation is second only to the Dragon-Subduing Arhat and the fallen Tiger-Subduing Arhat.

Although everyone knew that he appeared to be kind, he was actually lustful and indulgent.

He is well versed in the art of dual cultivation, and often uses the fusion of yin and yang to improve his own realm.

Since joining the Western Church, he has been secretly doing evil things. Many high-level female fairies and goblins have unfortunately become his cauldrons and reduced to tools for him to improve his strength.

After hearing the righteous words of Medicine Buddha, Joyful Arhat naturally agreed with him for the purpose of self-protection.

He was full of worries, fearing that he would be punished by Wutan and end up with a terrible end of being destroyed both physically and spiritually.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

On the cushion, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng shouted angrily, and the powerful aura of the early quasi-saint swept out like a surging wave.

The restless crowd was immediately suppressed by this momentum and dared not say a word.

His eyes were filled with fierce murderous intent as he stared at Happy Arhat.

They were afraid that he would spread false rumors to confuse the people, incite Medicine Buddha, and thus push Western religion into the abyss of destruction.

As the Buddha, he would never want to be alone and lose the foundation and prestige of Western religion.

After careful consideration, the ancient Buddha Dipankara repeatedly considered various options.

In the end, he decided that Guanyin Bodhisattva's idea was the safest and most feasible.

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng waved his jade sleeves lightly, and the sound of Tao flowed, and he said calmly: "Our dispute with Wu Tian is actually a dispute over doctrines and the great way."

“But then again, Mahayana Buddhism is so profound that even this Buddha and the two saints have not been able to see through its essence.”

"For the sake of the Buddhist truth and the foundation of Western religion, we have no choice."

"Medicine Buddha, please put the overall situation first and don't make mistakes!"

The rolling Buddhist sounds resounded throughout the palace, and the solemn sound seemed to penetrate the soul.

After the ancient Buddha Dipamkara said this, he looked directly at the Medicine Buddha.

The latter was unable to stand alone, and under the majestic gaze of the ancient Buddha, he could only lower his head like a frost-bitten eggplant and close his eyes helplessly.

At this moment, a faint demonic energy swept towards Mount Sumeru like a surging wave.

Wu Tian sat cross-legged on the twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction, with an upright posture and a stern look.

Around him, several figures exuded thick and pure demonic energy, and the powerful aura made people feel terrified.

Obviously, Wutan came well prepared this time, with unstoppable momentum.

The day of catastrophe for Western religion has finally arrived.
