Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#828 - Overseas Buddha seeks immortality, but the West Heaven hides malicious intentions

The calamity at Flowing Sand River was just a day and a night away.

Although countless major events occurred within this day, time would not stop for any suffering.

Time quickly came to the second day, when the sky was about to dawn. Buddha Tathagata left to arrange the Journey to the West.

Of course, the scripture seekers for the Journey to the West, except for Tang Seng, had already been arranged near the Flowing Sand River, waiting for the official departure.

Buddha Tathagata had previously obtained the Soul Restoration Pill given by Chu Hao, and now he only needed to revive Tang Sanzang.

This also meant that the Journey to the West team would soon return to the Flowing Sand River as if nothing had happened.

However, Buddha Tathagata was not in a hurry, because Amitabha had now given Buddha Tathagata another task.

Buddha Tathagata recalled Amitabha's words last night in his mind.

Amitabha looked at Buddha Tathagata with a cold gaze,

"Disciple, I know you are very puzzled and angry, wondering why I would easily promise that Prison God Chu Hao high officialdom and generous pay."

Buddha Tathagata was indignant and said bluntly:

"He is completely unworthy. He is just a newly promoted quasi-sage. What virtue or ability does he have!"

"This disciple does not dare to question the teacher's decision, but this child has already been a great anomaly and cannot be controlled."

"Now, ordering him to join the Journey to the West and become the sixth member is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house and seeking our own destruction!"

Amitabha's expression was calm,

"But you must know that the Journey to the West is important and brooks no mistakes. Anomalies cannot be controlled, but they can be tied to a stake. Only under our surveillance can there be no greater mistakes."

"As for the high officialdom and generous pay, I don't intend to give it to him easily. It's just that he relied on the pressure of the Sages, and we had no choice but to retreat in order to advance."

Buddha Tathagata's eyes lit up. Although Amitabha did not name who he wanted to find, the person who had a deep friendship with Vairocana Buddha,

and who was also sleeping, was only him!

As the largest force that has survived from the Primordial Era to the present and is thriving, the Western Paradise's cards are naturally immeasurable.

They can't get all this just by being shameless.

Especially after the Investiture of the Gods calamity, the Western Paradise was constantly on the move. The Chan and Jie sects were both badly injured, and the Western Paradise picked up a bargain.

Many of the strong who were scattered in the human world were being converted by the Western Paradise.

And that one was just the time to use him.

Buddha Tathagata suddenly said:

"The matter of the Prison God is not to be mentioned for the time being, Teacher. The Asura race is now wreaking havoc in the Western Aparagodaniya Continent. Not to mention that it will have a great impact on the Journey to the West,"

"it is even more likely to throw the Western Aparagodaniya Continent into chaos. How should they be dealt with?"

Amitabha said indifferently:

"Don't worry, the Asura race is not to be feared. Dipankara Buddha will lead a group of Buddhas to keep an eye on the River Styx Blood Sea, and Peacock King will also keep an eye on them."

"The River Styx Blood Sea seems to be menacing, but it is actually a paper tiger. We only need to temporarily hold them back and protect the Journey to the West. When the time comes to clean them up, it will be easy!"

A trace of understanding flashed in Buddha Tathagata's eyes. Peacock King was also going to take action?

With Peacock King and Dipankara Buddha, the River Styx Blood Sea would not be able to make much waves.

Although the Asura race did delay a part of the Western Paradise's strength, it completely eased the Asura race's crisis.

It was just a pity that the Ksitigarbha's power needed to suppress the unknown existences in the five turbid worlds and could not leave the five turbid worlds. Otherwise, if the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came to the human world,

with the full strength of the Western Paradise, it would only be a matter of time before the River Styx Blood Sea was wiped out.

Buddha Tathagata had always been deeply aware of the power of the Western Paradise. Otherwise, Buddha Tathagata, who had caught a glimpse of it at the time, would not have chosen to join the Western Religion.

Amitabha said to Buddha Tathagata:

"Take my Dharma seal and go. Awaken him, and he will naturally know what to do."

"Subduing Prison God Chu Hao will only take some time. He doesn't know how powerful my Western Paradise is."

"Disciple, you must remember that the road to dominating the Three Realms and Six Paths is very long. If you are impatient, you will easily harm yourself."

Buddha Tathagata respectfully lowered his head. Although he had suffered some anger before and was very unhappy in his heart,

Amitabha's majesty was still so powerful, because his control over the Western Paradise had never weakened.

And the strength of the Western Paradise on the surface has always been just the tip of the iceberg.

At this moment, Buddha Tathagata was on his way to the overseas immortal island.

Suddenly, Buddha Tathagata only felt that the surrounding aura had changed. It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at him between heaven and earth.

A cold voice rang out in the air,

"Should I call you Senior Brother or Buddha Tathagata?"

"What is the purpose of this visit?"

Buddha Tathagata sighed and said bluntly:

"Vairocana Immortal is dead."

The voice in the air instantly froze, and a strange wail faintly came!

"One of my brothers is now gone!"

"Who is it! Who can kill my brother!"

"The Western Paradise is so powerful, why would Brother Vairocana Immortal still die!"

Obviously, Vairocana Immortal's death had a great impact on him.

After the end of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, he fled to the overseas immortal island and did not ask about worldly affairs.

But the Western Paradise soon came to recruit him, and it was Buddha Tathagata who personally came to recruit him.

Vairocana Immortal was the first to be unable to resist the temptation of the Western Paradise and joined the Western Paradise, becoming Vairocana Buddha.

At that time, Buddha Tathagata vowed that no one could harm the people of the Western Paradise, let alone Vairocana Immortal, who had already become a Buddha!

But now, Buddha Tathagata was acting as the role of a messenger of death, and his mood was complicated.

Buddha Tathagata took a deep breath, but recited a Buddhist chant, and tears flickered in the corners of his eyes,

"Forgive me, this incompetent senior brother, for not taking good care of him. It's all my fault. I should have taken good care of everyone..."

The voice in the air paused for a moment, full of resentment and dissatisfaction,

"Buddha Tathagata, don't pretend. You are no longer Daoist Duobao!"

"Vairocana Immortal must have been dead for a long time, right? You only came to tell me now because you want to use me as a pawn?!"

"You are also responsible for his death!"

The tears in Buddha Tathagata's eyes slowly disappeared. He knew that he could no longer call him with his own strength,

after all, there was only Sakyamuni in the world, and no more Daoist Duobao.
