Capítulo 1324: Chapter 592: West Continent War, A Perfect Match for My Skills (2)
As for the others, with the strength demonstrated by Maitreya Body, they were not enough to make the monk-robed man fearful.
On the other hand, just as the monk-robed man said—the temptation of the Future Buddha is the reason for his confidence.
Early the next morning, the monk-robed man seed to leave directly without saying goodbye, and Abbot Tian Yun approached Maitreya Body.
“Maitreya, my friend.” He got straight to the point upon arrival, “Would you be willing to join my Dharma King Association?”
“Dharma King Association?”
“The Dharma King Association is what I ntioned before, an alliance of sects big and small in the West Continent, where fellow cultivators can exchange resources. If you want to sell spiritual dicine, the best way is to join my Dharma King Association.”
“Leiyin Temple…”
Maitreya Body felt a surge of joy in his heart, wasn’t this organization coming to him? But he didn’t agree imdiately, and instead looked hesitant, as if afraid Leiyin Temple would make trouble.
“I’ve already told you, our backer is Leiyin Temple.” Abbot Tian Yun smiled slightly, “Why feign ignorance, my friend?”
Maitreya Body was silent for a mont, then sighed and said, “It’s because your backer is Leiyin Temple that I’m afraid. How could small figures like us get involved in the internal conflicts of such a big sect?”
“You’re being overly cautious, my friend!”
Maitreya Body smiled but said nothing, lying back and accepting ridicule.
Abbot Tian Yun shook his head and took out a jade box from his sleeve.
Exactly, that’s how it should be!
Did you really think you could keep the benefits the Buddha gave ?
Abbot Tian Yun was just about to speak when the sky suddenly darkened.
Maitreya Body couldn’t help but look up; the once azure sky had changed, divided into four sections.
The piece of sky where Maitreya Body and others were was a warm jade color, with the Eastern Glazed Buddha standing high, facing the west.
Behind the Western Infinite Buddha surged endless white light, looking solemnly back at the Eastern Glazed Buddha.
As for the Southern Non-empty Buddha and the Northern Bao Sheng Buddha, they too were facing off against each other, murderous intent brimming between them.
Maitreya Body heard Abbot Tian Yun take a deep breath and murmured, “It has finally co.”
The tone was full of anxiety.
Indeed, it has finally co.
After controlling the believers in their territories with Paradise Fragrance, the Four Directions Buddha were finally taking action against each other.
You could already see this would inevitably happen from the movents of those Leiyin Temple disciples earlier.
“The strength of these four has increased quite a lot compared to before.” Qingnv, hiding on a mountain peak, transmitted a ssage to Maitreya Body from afar: “I am no longer their match.”
Paradise Fragrance…
Maitreya Body finally understood the intentions of the Four Directions Buddha.
The Four Directions Buddha were not unaware of the dangers Paradise Fragrance posed to their own followers, nor were they ignorant that it was a strategy of exhausting resources.
But the problem is, if they don’t fish, even the fishing pond would belong to others.
None of them dared to gamble on others not using Paradise Fragrance.
“Liuli, Non-empty, I am the Ancestor Master’s personal disciple, the most senior Golden Immortal. You all beca enlightened under my teachings.” The Western Infinite Buddha spoke, “Do you really want to compete with for the position of Future Buddha?”
The Southern Non-empty Buddha laughed: “Since when does Leiyin Temple have to adhere to seniority? Besides, you’ve taken so many years, yet your strength isn’t much higher than ours, how can you convince the public?”
The Western Infinite Buddha’s face showed a hint of anger and turned to look at the Glazed Buddha, asking, “Are you also so obstinate?”
The Glazed Buddha clasped his hands together and bowed: “Infinite Senior Brother, though I was taught by you, the position of Future Buddha cannot be yielded to personal feelings.”
The Infinite Buddha shook his head, seeming sowhat regretful: “Still, it must be proven under hands, as the Buddha says, infinite light…”
A dazzling light rose from the west, causing all on the West Continent to close their eyes, hearing only the chanting of scriptures by the four great Buddhas in the sky:
“Neither empty nor not empty, neither perished nor not perished…”
“When I attain Bodhi in my next life, my body shall be like glaze, clear and translucent inside and out…”
“If there’s anyone who hears or sees, let them all arouse the Bodhi mind, and with this body, be born in the land of joy together.”
With their chanting, the endless sound of scripture chanting rose up across the West Continent, and the weakened followers in each temple were now flushed with excitent, vigorously praising the four great Buddhas.
The sky was covered by the variegated Buddha light, and Maitreya Body could not see the battle status of the four Golden Immortals.
However, Abbot Tian Yun took out a prayer bead, his expression slightly changing.
“What’s wrong?”
“The disciples of Leiyin Temple under the Four Directions Buddha have also started fighting, each attacking the temples, seemingly wanting to cut off the other’s faith.”
Maitreya Body shuddered slightly in his heart.
He really did not expect, once the Four Directions Buddha started fighting, it would beco so intense, an all-out war at all levels.
Abbot Tian Yun’s tone also carried so lantation: “These four have known each other for many years, they understand each other too well, and it’s a one-on-one duel; afraid it will be hard to decide victor in a short ti.”
“On the contrary, a victory can be determined by targeting the believers.”
Maitreya Body nodded slightly, he didn’t have much understanding of the Four Directions Buddha, but Abbot Tian Yun seed to have anticipated this. It was probably not his own insight, but what that mysterious monk-robed man usually said.
It seems this battle of the Four Directions Buddha will not be over soon.
Only the ordinary folk of the West Continent must be suffering greatly now.
“These Four Directions Buddha simply don’t understand the true essence of the Future Buddha!”
Yet Abbot Tian Yun sneered, showing so disdain for the four Golden Immortals.
Maitreya Body looked over in doubt, just to hear Abbot Tian Yun say, “The Future Buddha is the Buddha who ends the age of chaos. When he attains enlightennt, the land of the West Continent will be abundant, human lifespans eight thousand four hundred years, the long night secure, benefitting many.'”
“These Four Directions Buddha have long since strayed to the heterodox path.”
Saying this, Abbot Tian Yun finally handed the jade box to Maitreya Body, smiling as he asked, “My friend, open and have a look.”
Maitreya Body opened the lid of the jade box, only to see inside was a fruit the size of a fist, orange in color, with white light faintly flowing over it.
“What is this?”
“This is the seed of the Dragon Flower Holy Tree.” Abbot Tian Yun introduced, “The Buddha’s decree once said, when the Dragon Flower Holy Tree matures, the Future Buddha will attain enlightennt and preach the Dharma under the tree.”
“The Dragon Flower Holy Tree matures?” Maitreya Body was still confused.
“The Dragon Flower Holy Tree can only grow in a Paradise where the Buddhist Law is widely spread.” Abbot Tian Yun said, “These Four Directions Buddha simply do not understand the true aning of the Future Buddha. Now they’ve strayed into heresy, causing turmoil in the West Continent, an utter contradiction.”
Maitreya Body’s heart trembled, and suddenly he rembered sothing—
Could the conflict among the Four Directions Buddha correspond to the so-called chaotic age?
From the perspective of the Earth Emperor Corpse, it was the stage where the foundation of Buddhism was severed.
But from the perspective of those behind Abbot Tian Yun, this was the stage for the birth of the Future Buddha?
The Four Directions Buddha are definitely not stupid, they likely received incorrect information…
Even this current situation was probably steered to benefit soone behind the scenes. These four are absolutely unluckily paving the way for a king—to appear formidable, but actually without backing.
“How does the Dragon Flower Holy Tree mature? Is there only this one seed?”
Maitreya Body asked two key questions again.
Abbot Tian Yun first answered the latter question: “In our Dharma King Association, anyone with potential is awarded this item, to select the Future Buddha.”
It seems that mysterious monk had a favorable view of this colony.
“Additionally, we do not fully understand this Dragon Flower Holy Tree.” Abbot Tian Yun glanced at the jade box in Maitreya Body’s hand, “We only know it will truly mature when the true Maitreya Pure Land erges.”
Maitreya Body furrowed his brow.
That explanation was as good as none.
This thod of selection was excessively idealistic, making it the most troubleso.
“However…” Seeing the frustration on his face, Abbot Tian Yun smiled, “Our Dharma King Association does have so factions that have tried to plant this Dragon Flower seed and discovered so patterns.”
“What?”
“First, once the Dragon Flower Tree sprouts, it can conceal the heavenly chanisms, avoiding the surveillance of Leiyin Temple.”
This was a valuable feature.
“Secondly, the more prosperous the Buddhist Law, the more devout the people, the faster this item grows.” Abbot Tian Yun said, “That’s why I said, the Future Buddha is probably looking not at battling Dharma, but…who can propagate the right Dharma, even establish a true Paradise.”
Maitreya Body felt his heart stir, finding his specialized area!
