At this time, Tang Sanzang forced the Buddha Mahavadhisattva to abdicate, which was already a treasonous act. Yet the Tathagata actually agreed to it?
All the disciples of Mahayana Buddhism were all confused. Sun Wukong and others were not much better, they all looked at Tang Sanzang in disbelief.
Obviously, this matter must have been arranged by Tang Sanzang and the Great Sun Tathagata long ago, otherwise, the two parties would not have such a tacit understanding.
"Mahayana Buddhism is booming. I will soon complete my merits and transform into the supreme Buddha. From now on, Tripitaka will be the lord of Mahayana Buddhism!" said the Great Sun Tathagata.
As soon as the words of the Great Sun Tathagata finished, the figures of Patriarch Bodhi and Sakyamuni appeared, leading a group of Western disciples and said with a smile: "This is a great thing to say!"
The Great Sun Tathagata and Tang Sanzang both bowed to the incarnations of the two saints, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"From today on, I am the master of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism will merge with Western religions into one, without any barriers, and will be renamed Buddhism.
Name Sun Wukong as the fighting and victorious Buddha and take charge of the killing! Confess Zhu Bajie as the messenger of the altar! Conferred the title of Sha Monk as a Golden Arhat! Confer Ao Lie as the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guangli Bodhisattva of Namo!
From today onwards, our Buddhist sect will be greatly prospered, and we will go all out to the Eastern Lands to preach. We must make all people believe in our Buddhist dharma! "Tang Sanzang said loudly.
For a time, in the entire Xitianling Mountain, countless Buddhist disciples were immersed in the huge impact and did not know what to do at all.
Everything that happened today was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, and the changes were so huge that it was simply unimaginable.
In today's Mahayana Buddhism, who doesn't know that the Tathagata Mahavairocana and Western Buddhism are actually very different from each other, and they are not the same people at all.
But now, according to Tang Sanzang, Mahayana Buddhism and Western Buddhism are to be merged into one, and the two sides will no longer distinguish each other.
As for the question of who is more important and who is less important, looking at the smiles on the faces of the two incarnations of saints in Western religions, there is actually no need to say more.
Going all out to spread the word in the East is what we should do after the rise of Buddhism, so there is nothing surprising about it.
However, Tang Sanzang chose to canonize Sun Wukong and others at this time, and his intention was somewhat intriguing.
Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and White Dragon Ma Aolie are not pawns arranged by their Buddhist sect. There are people behind each of them.
The Taiqing Saint behind Zhu Bajie, the Heavenly Court behind Sha Monk, and the Dragon Clan behind White Dragon Ma Aolie, these are not easy to mess with.
Now, Tang Sanzang completely ignored the powerful people behind these people and wanted to bring all these people into Buddhism. What was he doing?
What's more, Tang Sanzang also named Sun Wukong as the victorious Buddha of Buddhism, which was even more incomprehensible to the powerful Buddhists.
It is reasonable to say that Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and White Dragon Ma Aolie worshiped Tang Sanzang as their disciples and Tang Sanzang accepted them into Buddhism.
However, Sun Wukong had never worshiped Tang Sanzang as his teacher. If Tang Sanzang wanted to bring Sun Wukong into Buddhism, wouldn't it be a fantasy.
Sure enough, after hearing what Tang Sanzang said, Sun Wukong was immediately furious. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice:
"Hmph! I, Old Sun, once promised the Human Emperor to escort Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, but I did not promise to enter Buddhism.
Now, the search for scriptures from the Western Heaven has been completed. No matter what your plans are, I will not accompany you! "
Sun Wukong was not stupid either. He saw Tang Sanzang's strange behavior and all the disciples of the Western Sect appeared at this time.
Sun Wukong can naturally see that this is actually a long-planned conspiracy, and he has no interest in participating in these things.
If it had been before the Buddhist scriptures in the West, Sun Wukong might not have known the twists and turns involved, and he might have jumped into someone else's trap without even realizing it.
But now Sun Wukong is no longer Wu Xia Amon. He now knows very well that the water in the Three Realms is very deep.
For Sun Wukong, the matter of obtaining scriptures from the West has been completed anyway, and the agreement he and Jiang Heng had made can be regarded as completed.
No matter what idea Tang Sanzang had with the Western religion, it had nothing to do with Sun Wukong. He was not prepared to participate, and it was even less likely that he would join the Western religion.
Wouldn't it be happier to go find Yang Jian and have a happy fight, and then happily pursue the road in the Three Realms than to participate in these things?
It is understandable for Sun Wukong to think this way, but it is easy to participate in Journey to the West to measure the calamity, but it is not so easy to truly escape.
Just when Sun Wukong was about to leave Xitianling Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi had already taken a step forward and stood in front of Sun Wukong.
"Sun Wukong, you once studied under me. Speaking of which, I was also your mentor. You won't forget it, right?
Since then, you have entered the sect of my Western religion, and now you have returned to the sect and become a victorious Buddha, which is what you should do! "Ancestor Bodhi said.
This statement is correct. Sun Wukong did once worship Patriarch Bodhi as his teacher in Fangcun Mountain, and he can barely be regarded as a disciple of the Western religion.
"Hmph! Don't use these words to deceive me, grandson. You and I both know very well what it is like to study under a teacher!
Now, I, Old Sun, am not going to get involved in these things of yours. If you want to stop me, just come and try! "Sun Wukong said in a deep voice.
In the past, Sun Wukong might have been wary when facing the incarnation of a saint, but now, Sun Wukong has made a breakthrough.
In the Flower and Fruit Mountain, Yang Jian once resisted the incarnation of the saint alone. Sun Wukong didn't think that he would be any worse than Yang Jian at that time.
"Hahaha! Sun Wukong, ever since you set foot on the path to the West to learn scriptures, your destiny is no longer up to you!
Entering my Buddhist door is your only destination. No matter how hard you struggle, you cannot change it! "Tang Sanzang said in a deep voice.
"Oh! Then I, Old Sun, really want to try to break this damn fate!" Sun Wukong said.
The Ruyi Golden Cudgel instantly appeared in Sun Wukong's hand, and a powerful and terrifying aura began to emerge from Sun Wukong's body.
Patriarch Bodhi and other powerful men looked at Sun Wukong with indifferent expressions, but did not really take Sun Wukong seriously.
Once upon a time, Sun Wukong was able to suppress Sun Wukong at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain alone, let alone now.
Whether it is the Great Sun Tathagata or the incarnations of two saints from Western religions, suppressing Sun Wukong is not a big problem.
"Since you are so stubborn, I can only suppress your monkey first and then slowly tame it!" Ancestor Bodhi said in a deep voice.
This is a common trick used by Western religions. They first suppress the strong ones, and then rely on the methods inherent in Western religions to slowly convert them.
If two saints from the Western Sect were to save him, even Sun Wukong, who was at the peak of his cultivation as a quasi-sage, would be hard-pressed to resist.
Patriarch Bodhi raised his hand, and seven-colored rays of light emerged, carrying a supreme aura and shrouding Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong looked as usual. Even when he was facing the incarnation of a saint, there was no fear on his face. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.
Holding the Ruyi Golden Cudgel high, the fighting method of entering the perfect state began to operate, and the terrifying aura exploded on Sun Wukong's body.
At this moment, Tang Sanzang, Maharashtra Tathagata and Sakyamuni all looked at Sun Wukong in shock, looking at Sun Wukong in disbelief.
At this moment, the aura on Sun Wukong's body was so powerful, a terrifying aura that made people shudder.
Sakyamuni seemed to see a familiar figure, a being who had not yet become a saint, but who single-handedly stopped him.
Judging from the strength of the Great Sun Tathagata, Patriarch Bodhi and Sakyamuni, we can naturally see how terrifying the strength displayed by Sun Wukong at this time is.
"It turned out to be Yang Jian again. How long has it been?" Sakyamuni said in a deep voice.
It has only been more than a thousand years since Sun Wukong was born. For a saint, this is just a blink of an eye.
It is indeed incredible that Sun Wukong can cultivate to such a state from nothing, even more exaggerated than Yang Jian at the beginning.
Such a powerful strength of Sun Wukong only strengthened the idea of the two saints of the Western Sect to recruit Sun Wukong into the Western Sect.
Once Sun Wukong is conquered, the Western religion will have a strong man who can rival the incarnation of the saint, and its own strength will definitely increase greatly.
no way! Among the disciples of the Western Sect, the limited number of quasi-sages were all killed by Jiang Heng. Now the disciples of the Western Sect have become somewhat inactive.
Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong joining the Western Sect will greatly supplement the strength of the Western Sect. The two saints of the Western Sect will naturally be tempted.
Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi and Sun Wukong were about to take action, a figure appeared in the West Sky Spirit Mountain and appeared in front of Sun Wukong.
"It's really a wonderful show. I shouldn't have come too late!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.
In an instant, the entire Xitian Lingshan became silent, and all eyes were focused on Jiang Heng.
A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow! Today, Jiang Heng has a great reputation in the entire earthly immortal world.
This is the terrifying power brought about by killing the incarnation of a saint. Anyone who sees a strong man like Jiang Heng will feel a little scared in their hearts.
Patriarch Bodhi and Sakyamuni looked as usual. Jiang Heng's appearance at this time was actually within their expectations.
Sakyamuni took a step forward and was about to say something when another figure appeared next to Jiang Heng.
It was the saintly incarnation of Lord Tongtian who came, and he was looking at the Tathagata with a gloomy expression, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Duobao! I didn't expect you to make such a choice. It's really unexpected for me!" Tongtian Cult Master said in a deep voice.
"Teacher! The past has become a cloud, and the present Duobao is already the Great Sun Tathagata of Buddhism!" said the Great Sun Tathagata with a normal expression.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! In this case, the tens of millions of years of fate between you and my master and disciple will be completely severed today!" Tongtian Cult Leader said in a deep voice.
There was a look of struggle on the face of the Great Sun Tathagata, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly and bow to the leader of Tongtian Cult.
Although the Great Sun Tathagata didn't say much, he had already explained everything with his actions and had made his own choice.
"Human Emperor! Saint Tongtian, this is an internal matter within our Western religion. Why are you here?" Sakyamuni said in a deep voice.
The Western Sect has been making various calculations since the Lich Tribulation period, in order to make the Western Sect flourish.
But in front of Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor, not only did the various calculations of the Western Sect fail, but they themselves also ended up in a huge defeat.
Over the years, not only have the two saints of the Western Church suffered setbacks, but the Western Church itself has suffered heavy losses as a result.
Nowadays, the two saints of the Western Sect have finally succeeded in their calculation once, and naturally they will not be willing to let Jiang Heng ruin the good situation again.
"If I don't come, how can you continue to perform this scene? Tang Sanzang is a disciple of your Western Sect?" Jiang Heng said.
The situation before us could not be more obvious. Tang Sanzang's behavior today is naturally not without reason.
The most likely possibility is that Tang Sanzang was originally a disciple of the Western Sect, which is why he did such an earth-shattering thing today.
"Yes! Tang Sanzang was originally the reincarnation of my direct disciple Jin Chanzi!" Sakyamuni did not deny it, but admitted everything openly.
"If you can hide it from the emperor's eyes, it won't be the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and it will be Daozu himself who took action!" Jiang Heng said.
If Jin Chanzi was reincarnated and re-cultivated through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it would be impossible to hide it from Hou Tuzu Witch, let alone Jiang Heng.
However, when he first met Tang Sanzang, Jiang Heng did not feel the traces of these two saints from Western religions.
At that time, Tang Sanzang was only the second disciple of Mahavairocana. Because of this, Jiang Heng had many plans for Tang Sanzang.
Now it seems that Jiang Heng's encounter with Tang Sanzang's previous life in Wuzhuang Temple should have been a plot that had been planned long ago.
And being able to hide it from Jiang Heng's eyes, so that Jiang Heng couldn't see anything unusual, was very unusual.
It's not that Jiang Heng looks down on the two saints of the Western religion, but with the strength of these two saints, it is completely impossible to achieve such a level.
Only Taoist ancestor Hongjun and Tiandao took action in person, so that Tang Sanzang could be reincarnated and rebuild without going through the six paths of reincarnation, and this could be hidden from Jiang Heng's eyes.
Everything is a long-planned game. Daozu Hongjun and Tiandao seem to be indifferent to the calamity of Journey to the West, but everything is under their control.
"Hmph! Human Emperor, you have many shocking plans, you are indeed terrifying! But in the three realms, you are not invincible!
Above you, there is a teacher and the supreme heaven. Even you cannot do whatever you want! "Ancestor Bodhi said.
At this time, Patriarch Bodhi must have been very proud, and even the smile on his face was no longer concealed.
No wonder! The two saints of the Western Sect suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of Jiang Heng, and finally gained the upper hand. You can imagine how proud they felt.
"Hahaha! Daozu is really good at calculating! Where is the Great Sun Tathagata? When did he completely fall over to your Western religion?
Just relying on the strength of your Western religion, I am afraid it is impossible to accomplish this easily. Let me guess, could it be that Daozu himself took action? "Jiang Heng continued.
Since Jiang Heng already knew that Daozu Hongjun was planning behind all this, it was not difficult to guess the truth of some things.
The Great Sun Tathagata is not only a direct disciple of the Tongtian Cult Master, but also a pawn of the Taiqing Sage. How could he fall to the Western Cult so easily?
What's more, as long as we can steal the luck of Western religions, it won't be a big problem for Tathagata Mahavairocana to become a Buddha himself.
And why do we have to completely fall to the Western religion? In that Western religion, no matter how high the status of the Great Sun Tathagata is, it is still lower than the two saints of the Western religion.
But if Daozu Hongjun takes action himself, no matter what means he uses or what promises he makes, it will be difficult for the Great Sun Tathagata to refuse.
"Hahaha! Human Emperor, you are right! The Mahayana Buddhism of the past is undoubtedly like a stick in the throat for my Western religion!
You think you have control over the general trend of this calamity, but you don’t know that the Great Sun Tathagata completely turned to my Western religion before this calamity started!
This calamity has been under the control of my Western religion from beginning to end. Everything you see is just a show! "Ancestor Bodhi said with great pride.
Before this, perhaps in the eyes of everyone, the one who gained the greatest benefit during this journey to the West was undoubtedly Mahayana Buddhism.
As for Western religion? Not only did the existence of Mahayana Buddhism take away a lot of luck, but he also suffered heavy losses during the calamity of his journey to the west.
Three quasi-sages of the Western religion, including Maitreya, the Medicine Master, and the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lights, have fallen, and even the incarnations of two saints of the Western religion have fallen.
In order to condense a new incarnation, the two saints of the Western religion paid a huge price.
Especially for Saint Zhunti, this was already his second incarnation as a saint, and the price he paid was far greater than the last time.
At the end of Journey to the West, the Western religion had basically gained nothing good except for a little merit.
What is popular is Mahayana Buddhism, and its greatest benefits are also from Mahayana Buddhism. It is related to Western Buddhism, but not that big.
To use the word "big defeat" to describe the Western Sect's gains during the journey to the West, it must be that there is no big problem.
But who would have thought that this time it was actually a game. At the last critical moment, the Western Church made a comeback and became the biggest winner.
Mahayana Buddhism and Western Buddhism merged into one. Not only did Western Buddhism suffer no loss at all, but its strength increased instead of decreasing.
In addition, the Journey to the West Tribulation has now come to a successful conclusion, and the great prosperity of the Western Sect is now a certainty.
Perhaps the only thing that the two Western Saints did not expect was that Jiang Heng would be so ruthless.
If Maitreya, the Medicine Master, and the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lights had not fallen, the current Western religion would definitely be more prosperous, and dominating the immortal world would not be a problem.
With all these things going on, it is only natural that Patriarch Bodhi should be so proud, especially in front of Jiang Heng.
"Hahaha! Dao Ancestor is really a good calculator. He did such a thing that was hidden from the sky, but he did it so well!" Jiang Heng praised.
Jiang Heng never mentioned Western religion. Behind this matter, Daozu Hongjun was planning, and Western religion was actually just a chess piece.
Otherwise, with the little ability of the two saints taught by the West, trying to hide it from Jiang Heng's eyes is just wishful thinking.
"Hmph! Human Emperor, since you already know the cause and effect of the whole thing, you should know that you are powerless to change the world!" Shakyamuni said in a deep voice.
Naturally, the two saints from the Western religion were extremely afraid of Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor. But this time, the two saints from the Western Church were full of confidence.
Jiang Heng did have the ability to overturn the table, but the person standing behind the Western Sect was Taoist Hongjun, and they were not afraid of Jiang Heng overturning the table at all.
As long as Jiang Heng dares to take action, Daozu Hongjun can take the opportunity to take action. By then, with Jiang Heng's strength, it would be impossible to gain the upper hand.
"Hahaha! I haven't taught you a lesson for a few days. You have really grown up. How dare you talk to me like this?
It seems that the lesson I taught you last time was not profound enough, and you have forgotten it so quickly! Jiang Heng said expressionlessly.
"Human Emperor! Since the victory or defeat has been decided, it is meaningless to talk about these things now. Why don't you and I just let it go?" Shakyamuni said in a deep voice.
"The victory or defeat has been decided? You think too highly of yourselves, and you underestimate me too!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, the expressions of the two incarnations of Western saints changed slightly, and a bad premonition inevitably appeared in their hearts.
Although they are quite confident in this plan, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun is backing them up, the person in front of them is the Human Emperor!
The two saints of the Western Sect can't remember how many times they have done this. Anyway, ever since Jiang Hengzhan came to prominence, the Western Sect has been defeated many times when facing Jiang Heng.
I think back then, before Jiang Heng entered the realm of a saint, he had destroyed the Western religion's plan to plan six paths of reincarnation.
Even in the current period of Journey to the West, several innate spiritual treasures of Saint Zhunti are still in Jiang Heng's hands.
Even during the period of Conferring Gods and Measuring Tribulation, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not take action, but everyone knew what the final outcome would be.
Now, although it seemed that the Western Sect had a sure chance of victory, when they faced Jiang Heng, the two saints of the Western Sect were not so confident.
"Hmph! Human Emperor, it's already reached this point, and you still refuse to admit defeat? I don't believe you have any other methods!" Shakyamuni said in a deep voice.
After thinking carefully for a moment, neither Bodhi Patriarch nor Sakyamuni could think of any reason why he would lose to Jiang Heng.
The plan this time has reached this level. Unless Jiang Heng has the strength to overturn everything, everything will be a foregone conclusion.
It can be seen from the Fengshen Measuring Tribulation that although Jiang Heng's strength is strong, it is not enough to fight Daozu Hongjun.
Even if Houtu Zuwu is included, Jiang Heng is here alone today and still wants to make a comeback? I'm afraid it's even harder than climbing to the sky.
"Hahaha! Do you believe it or not, today my emperor will not only completely reverse the situation, but also make your Western religion disappear?" Jiang Heng said calmly.
Patriarch Bodhi and Sakyamuni looked at Jiang Heng solemnly, and unknowingly, they were secretly on guard.
If Jiang Heng was determined to die, even if Taoist ancestor Hongjun came forward in person, heavy losses to the Western Sect would be inevitable.
Of course, the two saints of the Western Church did not believe that Jiang Heng would really die. After all, Jiang Heng is not really carefree.
"Human Emperor! There is no need to talk about these big words. If you have any means, just use them, and I, the Western Sect, will take over today!"
If you have no other means, the Emperor must leave as soon as possible. This is the center of my Western religion, and the Emperor is not welcome! "Ancestor Bodhi said in a deep voice.
Jiang Heng looked at the incarnations of the two Western saints with disdain, shook his head, and said, "You really don't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
Jiang Heng raised his hand and waved, but no powerful aura emerged. Just when the strong men of the Western Sect were confused, Tang Sanzang suddenly wailed.
The intense Buddha light soared into the sky from Tang Sanzang's body, turned into Buddha light, and enveloped the entire Xitian Lingshan Mountain.
