Watching Nezha, the story of Nezha's suicide in the Investiture of the Gods brought tears to my

Nezha killed Tang Sanzang and his two companions. You stinky monkey, just wait twenty or a few decades. If all else fails, you can go and settle accounts with Nezha.

What's with trying to get Nezha to join you in causing trouble in Heaven?!

Even if you two end up being imprisoned under Five Finger Mountain, who will bear the losses caused by the chaos in Heaven (by Li Wang)?!

Nezha did such a good deed, how come he ended up being the one who suffered the most injustice!

The Jade Emperor suddenly looked at Nezha.

Nezha pouted, "That's not my fault. You didn't explain things clearly. You only told me to do everything I could to stop them from going on their pilgrimage. Now, aren't you doing everything you can to stop them?"

They didn't say they couldn't kill Tang Sanzang. The simplest way to stop them from going on their pilgrimage was to kill them all.

Venus closed his eyes: "But you don't need to actually succeed in stopping me."

If they actually manage to stop them, and the person dies on the way, what's the point of going on the pilgrimage?

Is it really possible to have Sun Wukong take Tang Sanzang's physical body to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and then bring Tang Sanzang's physical body back to the Tang Dynasty in the East to spread Buddhism?

Nezha clicked his tongue and said, "Alright, alright, I know now that if I really end up in one of those trials, I'll remember to spare their lives."

The Jade Emperor was still uneasy and announced loudly, "From today onwards, martial law will be in effect in Heaven!"

[176] Even the Buddha had to refer to himself as "this humble monk" when he saw him? Dipankara Buddha, the ancestor of all Buddhas!

The Buddha is the master of Mount Sumeru. After attaining the six-zhang golden throne on the snowy mountain peak, he became the first person in the history of Buddhism.

However, there was an ancient Buddha in Mount Ling who once pleaded for Sun Wukong's life. When he knelt before the Buddha, the Buddha was terrified!

The Buddha quickly replied, "How could this humble monk accept the kneeling of such a great monk as yourself?"

.......

"Little monk!? Tathagata calls himself little monk!?"

People throughout the myriad realms were shocked. Whether they were humans, gods, immortals, Buddhas, demons, or monsters, they were all terrified by the Buddha's self-proclaimed title of "this humble monk" in the heavenly canopy.

The Buddhist community, especially, was in an uproar.

"There's actually an ancient Buddha whose status is higher than that of the Buddha? Which ancient Buddha is this?"

"Pleading for Sun Wukong? This must be a world where Sun Wukong exists, for a great Buddha has appeared who can make Tathagata so humble!"

"Is this true? Is there someone with a higher status than him? How powerful must he be?"

Many people find it hard to believe. As Tianmu said, Tathagata is the number one person in Buddhism, and the method he cultivated is the most powerful six-zhang golden body in Buddhism.

This is the true, boundless Dharma.

But Tianmu never lies, which means that there really is an ancient Buddha whose status is even higher than that of the Buddha!

Moreover, for the Buddha to refer to himself as "this humble monk" and the other person as "this great monk" is no ordinary act of humility.

Who exactly is it that can make Buddha bow his head like this?

People from all the heavens and myriad realms looked up at the sky, not blinking an eye, afraid of missing any important information.

Journey to the West: A World in Action

Under the cover of night, Sun Wukong, arms crossed and golden cudgel tucked under his arm, leaned against a huge rock.

He looked at the assassin Guanyin who was always looking up at the sky, "Assassin Guanyin, do you know who he is?"

The white wolf beside her also cast a glance at the assassin Guanyin.

The assassin Guanyin shook her head. "I have never heard of such a person."

“Perhaps Buddha knows.” Sun Wukong straightened up and looked at the assassin Guanyin with a serious expression. “It’s still a bit risky for us to deal with Indra by ourselves alone.”

“The Dark Primordial Celestial Venerable and his ilk are no pushovers. As you all know, he even sent me to the underworld.”

"The more people there are, the more help we have, and the better our chances of winning. The Sacred Scripture must not fall into the hands of Emperor Shitian," White Wolf chimed in.

His eyes were fixed on the assassin Guanyin, his gaze almost tangible, as if he wished the assassin Guanyin could find this person immediately.

The assassin Guanyin glanced at them speechlessly, "There's a faster way."

"what?"

The assassin Guanyin pointed to the sky, "Otherwise, what do you think I'm looking at?"

Sun Wukong (White Wolf): ...

……

Wild world.

A quarter of an hour ago, the Jade Emperor filed a complaint with the Dao Ancestor, who was enraged and unleashed the Investiture of the Gods. Once the Investiture of the Gods begins, the three sects of Chan, Jie, and Ren will all have to face the calamity.

At this time, the three religions were in a slump, and when they looked up and saw the sky about to reveal a clearly extraordinary Buddhist figure, they were even more furious.

In the future, Taoism will decline while Buddhism will flourish. Just one Buddha is already so powerful, and now another ancient Buddha with an even higher status than Buddha has been revealed.

After the Investiture of the Gods, is there really no place left for the three Taoist sects?

The three brothers, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Taishang Laojun, gathered together, all with stern faces and troubled expressions.

"If the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods had not descended, the Western Paradise would not have been superior to the Daoist sect in the future." Yuanshi Tianzun sighed.

“The Buddhist sect will flourish, but it will also decline in the future,” Lao Tzu said calmly. “Just like our three religions, when they flourish, they will fall into a great calamity. The Buddhist sect is not far from that point.”

But even if it wasn't far off, look how weak their Daoist sect had become back then! The Tongtian Sect Leader gritted his teeth, somewhat indignant.

"I'd like to see what other talents this Buddhist sect has!"

……

Who exactly is this ancient Buddha, whom even the Buddha himself treated with utmost respect, who calls himself a "minor monk" yet refers to himself as "Buddha"?

He is Dipankara Buddha.

Even the great demon Wutian, who once forced the Buddha to reincarnate, lowered himself before Dipankara Buddha, referring to himself as a humble monk.

Dipankara Buddha is the Buddha of the past, one of the Buddhas of the Three Times, and his status surpasses that of all other Buddhas.

Even the all-powerful Buddha was merely his disciple.

Dipankara Buddha prophesied to Shakyamuni that he would become a Buddha in the future.

As predicted by Dipankara Buddha, Shakyamuni later became the Tathagata Buddha, the foremost of all Buddhas.

For the sake of the future and development of Mount Ling, Dipankara Buddha passed on the position of Buddha of Mount Ling to Tathagata.

He was essentially the retired emperor of Mount Ling, becoming the ancestor of all Buddhas.

[Amidst the dazzling Buddhist light emanating from Mount Ling, forty-seven Buddhas and fifteen Bodhisattvas were arranged according to their rank, with the serene Dipankara Buddha prominently positioned at the very top!]

……

The world of Journey to the West.

The dazzling Buddha light in the sky seemed to be pouring down from the heavens, and the four members of Tang Sanzang's group involuntarily stopped.

Tang Sanzang hurriedly dismounted and respectfully knelt down to pay homage to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas on the celestial canopy.

“Goodness,” Pigsy smacked his lips, staring dumbfounded at the sky, “Ancestor of all Buddhas, this title sounds even more powerful than the Buddha’s title of head of all Buddhas.”

Sha Wujing swallowed hard, then respectfully clasped his hands together in a Buddhist salute before replying, "The Buddha Tathagata is a disciple of Dipankara Buddha, so naturally the master must be more powerful."

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie instinctively looked at Tang Sanzang, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"You two unfilial disciples! Why are you looking at your master when Wujing says such things?"

"Hahahaha! Master, stop pretending to be stupid and fooling yourself," Sun Wukong said with a few steps forward, squatting down and laughing.

"Among the three of us, who isn't more capable than you, the master?"

Tang Sanzang was choked, but Sun Wukong didn't have time to pay attention to him, gazing thoughtfully at the sky.

"As Tianmu mentioned before, this Dipankara Buddha once pleaded for me, so I still owe him a favor. I'll make time to repay him when I go to the Western Paradise."

Although he didn't know what he would do in the future that would require a Buddha from the Western Paradise to plead for him, since he would owe it in the future, he might as well find a way to pay it off first.

Once you pay it back, you can feel at ease owing more.

……

Senior brother, oh senior brother, the world.

On Sanxiao Island, Zhao Gongming stroked his long beard with a solemn expression. "The Western Paradise will never have such a figure in the future, and they have actually made great success of it."

Yunxiao frowned slightly. "All things arise and perish due to causes and conditions. Now that Taoism is flourishing, it is inevitable that Buddhism will flourish after the great calamity."

Those present naturally understood this principle, but they couldn't help feeling somewhat resentful.

Especially when he thought about how the Taoist sect might not be as powerful as the Western Paradise in the future, Zhao Gongming felt a burning anger and great distress in his heart!

[177] Dipankara Buddha? Dipankara Taoist? Dipankara: What did I do to you? Why are you exposing me!

"Isn't there any other way?" Zhao Gongming tried to come up with a plan. "Even if the Ancient Buddha Dipankara is powerful in the future, he may not be so powerful now. Why don't we find him first..."

The Golden Light Mother chimed in, "Then she went and staged an accident to extort him!"
