Chapter 1323: Chapter 1321: Maitreya Buddha: I’m Losing My Mind
In the deepest part of the Underworld lies the Netherworld Blood Sea, an endless and vast expanse, truly imasurable.
However, as soon as Jiang Liu arrived at the Netherworld Blood Sea with the King of the Won’s Kingdom, Ancestor Minghe imdiately beca aware of his presence.
After all, the entire Netherworld Blood Sea is integrated with Ancestor Minghe, so naturally, any happenings within the sea are known to him.
The Blood Sea surged, and before Jiang Liu could reach the palace of the Netherworld Sect, the bloodwaters coalesced into the figure of a person—the technique of Ancestor Minghe’s Master Blood God incarnation.
“Sandalwood rit Buddha, long ti no see! What brings you here today?” After appearing, Ancestor Minghe greeted Jiang Liu proactively.
“Ancestor Minghe, long ti no see. Soone here is in trouble, do you know how to save her?” Jiang Liu asked directly without much formality, holding the King of the Won’s Kingdom in his arms.
“Let take a look…” Hearing that Jiang Liu sought help, Ancestor Minghe’s gaze fell on the King of the Won’s Kingdom, and he spoke.
Naturally, Jiang Liu carried the King of the Won’s Kingdom over to Ancestor Minghe.
Ancestor Minghe scrutinized the King of the Won’s Kingdom for a mont, then extended his hand to point at her forehead.
His finger transford into the Blood Sea’s water, seemingly rging into her body for a thorough inspection.
After a mont, Ancestor Minghe withdrew his finger, an expression of surprise erging on his face, and said, “No mistake, this is the consequence of cultivating the Brahma Tally thod!”
“Oh? You know, Ancestor? Can you tell more?” Seeing that Ancestor Minghe clearly knew the cause of the King of the Won’s Kingdom’s predicant, Jiang Liu urgently asked.
“This has to do with the Brahma Tally thod. A long ti ago, two saints road the Primordial Continent, converting beings to expand their forces. These two saints, rit Buddha, you should know…”
At this point, Ancestor Minghe glanced at Jiang Liu.
Though not naming which two saints, Jiang Liu was not foolish; from Ancestor Minghe’s insinuations, he could guess that the two saints were indeed Jieyin and Zhunti.
Legend has it that, in ancient tis, they were nearly obsessed with recruiting talents and treasures.
“At that ti, the Brahma Tally thod brought forth by the two saints tempted many beings. The greatest advantage of this cultivation technique is its rapid cultivation pace, advancing by leaps and bounds…” Ancestor Minghe explained further.
Listening to Ancestor Minghe, Jiang Liu nodded. This advantage indeed matches the symptoms seen in the King of the Won’s Kingdom.
The King of the Won’s Kingdom’s cultivation progress was known to Jiang Liu; in just a few years, she had reached the Returning Void Realm.
Soon, after overcoming the Three Calamities, reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm would not be out of the question.
Such rapid cultivation pace was almost comparable to Jiang Liu’s own quest advancent.
“However, this cultivation technique has a terrifying flaw as well. While rapidly advancing, one’s life force is also quickly depleted. The word ‘Tally’ in Brahma Tally thod signifies the transient nature! Now it’s because of the Brahma Tally thod that her life force is expended!” Ancestor Minghe continued, explaining the issue to Jiang Liu.
“Then, may I ask, Ancestor, is there a way to eliminate such symptoms?” Finding out why the King of the Won’s Kingdom ended up like this was crucial, but saving her was even more urgent.
“To eliminate it? The only way is to find the person who originally taught her the Brahma Tally thod. Only then could the symptoms be eradicated, for just as one who ties a bell must untie it, the two saints initially strengthened their followers using this thod!” Ancestor Minghe replied.
“I see!” Hearing Ancestor Minghe’s words, Jiang Liu finally understood.
The question of who taught the Brahma Tally thod to the King of the Won’s Kingdom? Jiang Liu naturally rembered—the King of the Won’s Kingdom had once told him it was taught by Maitreya Buddha.
“So, this is all part of Maitreya Buddha’s sche?” At this mont, Jiang Liu realized the situation surrounding the King of the Won’s Kingdom.
He had once wondered why, out of nowhere, Maitreya Buddha would teach her a cultivation thod, and now it seed the intentions were not pure at all!
When Jiang Liu found it difficult to save her, Maitreya Buddha would step in to rescue her, making Jiang Liu feel indebted to him?
And possibly, through the Brahma Tally thod, Maitreya Buddha could control the King of the Won’s Kingdom, thus achieving remote control over Jiang Liu?
Furthermore, perhaps due to this matter, another calamity could be added to the Journey to the West for Scriptures.
Maitreya Buddha’s sche truly achieved multiple objectives with one move!
“Thank you, Ancestor, for the information!” Since the matter was now clear and ti was of the essence, Jiang Liu decided not to waste any more ti in the Netherworld Blood Sea. After thanking Ancestor Minghe, he imdiately turned and left the Netherworld Blood Sea.
“Phew, he finally left…” As for Ancestor Minghe? Watching Jiang Liu’s figure disappear into the distance, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had long decided that as long as the Imasurable Kalpa of the westward journey was not over, he would never leave the Netherworld Blood Sea, nor et with the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.
Originally, when Xuanzang appeared at the Netherworld Blood Sea, it truly gave him a fright. But fortunately, it turned out to be much ado about nothing, as Xuanzang rely ca with inquiries.
After watching Jiang Liu’s figure leave the Netherworld Blood Sea, Ancestor Minghe’s form imdiately transford into a wave of blood water and rged into the vast and boundless Netherworld Blood Sea.
As for Jiang Liu, cradling the King of Won’s Kingdom in his arms, his face was full of gravity. Upon returning to the mortal world, Jiang Liu promptly notified Sun Wukong and the others.
The Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team turned back midway, heading straight to Eastern Temple in Eastern Shengshen State!
Under Jiang Liu’s instructions, Sun Wukong and the others quickly regrouped with Jiang Liu.
The Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team was now fully mobilized, heading towards Eastern Temple. In no more than a Chinese hour, Jiang Liu and his party had completely reached Eastern Temple.
His figure floated in mid-air, and at the sa ti, Jiang Liu’s voice rang out like a booming bell, “May I ask if Maitreya Buddha is here?”
Originally, Jiang Liu was contemplating between Maitreya Buddha and the Empress. He thought it more appropriate to act against the Empress during this opportunity.
But now, Jiang Liu felt that he should change his target, focusing on Maitreya Buddha seed more fitting.
“Sandalwood rit Buddha, aren’t you supposed to be within the borders of West Niuhe State?” Following Jiang Liu’s question, Taoist Boy Huangi soon ca up, looking at Jiang Liu and his group. Seeing their aggressive appearance, Taoist Boy Huangi asked in surprise.
“Where is Maitreya Buddha? Where is he?” Holding the King of Won’s Kingdom in his arms, Jiang Liu had no intention of wasting ti with Taoist Boy Huangi and asked again.
“Amitabha, I am here. May I know why Xuanzang and you have co today?” Maitreya Buddha’s voice rang out in response to Jiang Liu’s persistent questioning. At the sa ti, he erged from the temple, looking puzzled.
In fact, the reason he could initially break through to the Quasi-Saint level was because Xuanzang helped him defeat the Corpse Tiger Beast. From this perspective, he owed Xuanzang so karmic ties.
However, why did Xuanzang seem so furious today?
“Maitreya Buddha, I believe I’ve never wronged you, have I? I even assisted you, helping you return to the Quasi-Saint cultivation level!” Jiang Liu, arms cradling the King of Won’s Kingdom, spoke to Maitreya Buddha.
“That’s right, indeed, Xuanzang. There is no need to rush. Let’s clear things up first!” Seeing Jiang Liu’s accusatory tone, Maitreya Buddha nodded and comforted him.
“I only have one question for the Buddha, why did you teach her the Brahma Tally thod? You fully know the consequences of cultivating the Brahma Tally thod!” Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liu, trying hard to suppress his anger, asked Maitreya Buddha.
“Brahma Tally thod? No, when did I ever teach her the Brahma Tally thod?” Hearing Jiang Liu’s question, Maitreya Buddha himself appeared utterly baffled.
To be honest, he had absolutely no recollection of this!
“Could it be…” Startled, Maitreya Buddha quickly thought of a possibility, and his expression changed.
“Buddha, you might really not rember this. When you taught her the Brahma Tally thod, she hadn’t died yet. To be precise, it was the past-life you who taught her!”
Seeing Maitreya Buddha’s shocked expression, Jiang Liu realized that this version of Maitreya Buddha genuinely did not rember past-life matters, so he explained.
“I see…” Upon hearing Jiang Liu’s explanation, Maitreya Buddha had a look of realization while also wishing he could slap his past-life self a few tis.
Since his resurrection, Maitreya Buddha has never felt any benefits left to him by his past life. Instead, he felt constantly troubled by his past-life self.
And now? Another ss to clean up appeared before him.
“Buddha, it was the past-life you who taught the Brahma Tally thod. Do you have any way to eliminate the harmful effects of this Brahma Tally thod?” Realizing that it might have been an accident, Jiang Liu’s expression beca tense, and he seriously asked Maitreya Buddha.
“This…”
Seeing Jiang Liu’s inquiry, Maitreya Buddha showed a look of difficulty and then comforted, “Xuanzang, no need to worry about this matter. Let’s deliberate over it and slowly find a solution. There will be a way…”
