Chapter 660: The Kingdom of Buddha in the Palm of Your Hand
The Holy Lord Blessing shouted loudly to the immortals and gods in the battle circle: "Your Majesty has a decree, and the gods obey your orders. This monster monkey is surrendered to the Buddha and Lao of the West for transformation!"

After hearing this, all the immortals and gods retreated from the battle circle.

Although the Monkey King was besieged by the immortals and gods, he had eyes and ears in all directions and had already noticed the arrival of the Tathagata Many Treasures.

The immortals and gods withdrew the encirclement, and the Monkey King also put away his magical power. He angrily walked up to Duobao Tathagata and asked loudly: "Where are you a monk from? How dare you come to stop us from fighting?"

Duobao Tathagata smiled and said: "I am Duobao Tathagata of Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the West. I am also the Supreme Buddha of Buddhism and now the Buddha. I heard that you are rampant by nature and have repeatedly rebelled against the heavenly palace. I don't know where you were born, when you attained enlightenment, and why. So cruel and rude?"

The Monkey King glanced sideways at Duobao Tathagata and replied: "I am a natural stone monkey raised by the earth and blessed by heaven and earth. I have the method of immortality and immeasurable magical power. I am respected by the strong in the world, and my power is boundless. Why? We can’t compete for the position of the Heavenly Emperor. What’s more, all the human kings have inherited it, so why is the Jade Emperor alone sitting in the Heavenly Palace?”

Hearing what the Monkey King said, Duobao Tathagata sneered and said: "How dare you, a monkey to become a spirit, to be so deceitful and false, to seize the throne of the Jade Emperor? The Jade Emperor has been practicing cultivation since he was a child and has gone through 1,750 hardships." Calamities, each calamity lasts for 129,600 years. How many years of practice does it take for him to enjoy the infinite path? How dare you, a fledgling beast, to speak so wildly? Quickly take refuge in Buddhism and stop talking nonsense! Otherwise, you will be attacked and your life will be destroyed in an instant. It is a pity that you have practiced for many years!"

The Monkey King heard Duobao Tathagata's words and replied without flinching: "Although the Jade Emperor has been practicing for many years, he should not occupy the heavenly palace for a long time. As the saying goes: 'The emperor takes turns to sit in my house next year.' As long as he is willing to move. Just go out and give me the Heavenly Palace; if he refuses to give in, then I will definitely disrupt the Heavenly Palace and make it never peaceful!"

Buddha asked the Monkey King: "What ability do you have that dares to occupy the heavenly palace?"

The Monkey King said: "I have the method of transformation and rapid movement; I have the method of immortality. I can live as long as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon have the same age. I have immeasurable magical powers, how can I not sit on the throne of the Emperor of Heaven?"

Buddha said: "In that case, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

The Monkey King rolled his eyes and asked: "How to make a bet!"

Buddha said: "You have the ability to move quickly, but you have the ability to get out of my hands. If you can get out of my hands, you will win. I will ask the Jade Emperor to live in the west and give you the Heavenly Palace. If you can't get out of my hands, I will ask the Jade Emperor to live in the west." In the palm of your hand, you lose, okay?"

As soon as Duobao Tathagata finished speaking, a cold snort resounded throughout the Lingxiao Palace! The Jade Emperor's cold and solemn voice sounded: "Honorable Guanyin, the Heavenly Palace was determined by the Taoist ancestors who exercised the authority of Heavenly Dao. When did Buddhism become qualified to determine the ownership of the Heavenly Palace?"

No wonder the Jade Emperor was angry. Duobao Tathagata and the Monkey King made a bet with the Heavenly Palace. No matter whether they win or lose, Duobao Tathagata's move is to put himself above the heaven! All over the world, in all heavens and all realms. Except for Daozu Hongjun, even the saints would not dare to do such a crazy thing. Taking the Heavenly Palace as a bet, this Tathagata of Many Treasures is so bold and confident.

After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, all the immortals and gods in heaven also glared at Guanyin Bodhisattva!

Tathagata Duobao dares to arbitrarily determine the location of the Heavenly Palace. This act of deceiving Heaven does not take Heavenly Palace into consideration at all. He regards heaven as a Buddhist kingdom under the command of Buddhism! This makes all the gods in heaven not angry.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's face was distressed, and he knew that the Tathagata Many Treasures was overstepping his bounds. But Duobao Tathagata is the Supreme Buddha of Buddhism, so how can she be restrained? At the moment, she can only remain speechless, not knowing how to reply! The immortals and gods in Heaven in the Lingxiao Palace were furious, but the Tathagata Duobao was smiling.

With the wisdom of Tathagata Many Treasures, how could he not know that his words would dissatisfy the gods and immortals in heaven! But if Buddhism wants to rise in the Journey to the West, it must create a supreme reputation. Putting Buddhism above the heaven is the best and fastest way to build the prestige of Buddhism!

Moreover, Heaven has been used by the Monkey King as a stepping stone to help him become famous in the fairy world! It doesn’t hurt to have one more Buddhist!

Besides, as long as I can successfully suppress the Monkey King, this problem in Heaven will be solved. Even if the gods in heaven are dissatisfied, they can only hold their noses and admit it! After all, now that the Monkey King is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he has already reached outside the Tongming Palace, and has completely rubbed the Heavenly Palace's face on the ground. Compared with the Monkey King's madness, his few words are nothing!
The Monkey King looked arrogant and said: "You are the Holy Spirit of the West, how can you be the Lord of the Heavenly Palace? Are you trying to trick me?"

The Buddha said softly: "Amitabha, monks don't talk wildly."

When the Monkey King heard this, although his expression was still doubtful, he was smiling in his heart! He had been planning for a long time and was waiting for this moment! The Tathagata Duobao acted so wantonly and recklessly, all he relied on was the magical power of the Buddha's kingdom in the palm of Buddhism. If the Monkey King is only in the realm of Daluo Jinxian, it will naturally be difficult to resist the supreme magical power of Buddhism. However, the Monkey King's true cultivation is that of Hunyuan Golden Immortal (quasi-sage). With the cultivation of the Tathagata Many Treasures, the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand cannot trap him at all!
The Monkey King said: "Since you can make the decision for the Jade Emperor, I will make a bet with you."

Duobao Tathagata looked at the Monkey King's eager figure, but for some reason there was a sense of something wrong in his heart. However, at this moment, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, and there is no room for him to go back on his word!

Banishing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Duobao Tathagata said nothing and stretched out his right hand, the palm of which was as big as a lotus leaf.

The monkey king put away the wish-fulfilling stick, cheered up, jumped up, and stood in the palm of the Buddha's hand.

Then, the Monkey King shouted: "Old monk, I'm going out!" After saying this, the Monkey King saw the clouds flickering all the way and disappeared without a shadow.

Many Treasures Tathagata looked with his wisdom eyes, and saw a world in his right hand that seemed both real and illusory. In this world, the Monkey King was speeding along the cloud road.

The Monkey King is actually right, his magical power of speed is really extraordinary! When it comes to this speedy method alone, there are few immortals in the earthly immortal world who can be as fast as the Monkey King.

The layers of clouds and mist were instantly broken open by the Monkey King. Not long after, the Monkey King saw five flesh-red pillars in front of him, supporting a cyan aura.

Seeing the pillar supporting the sky, the Monkey King said to himself: "This must be the end of the sky. I should win this bet!"

After saying that, the Monkey King was just about to turn around, but he said to himself: "Since I have reached the horizon, I should leave some marks. Otherwise, if the old monk doesn't recognize me, it will be troublesome."

In the void, Many Treasures Tathagata looked at the Monkey King in the Buddha Kingdom in his palm, smiling. This monkey head is interesting, but it can't defeat his magical power!
Duobao Tathagata was so contented at this moment that he could not detect a hint of sneer on the corner of the Monkey King's mouth!
The Monkey King took out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from his ear and turned it into the thickness of a bowl. He secretly accumulated his magic power and struck hard at the flesh-red pillar in the middle!
Only a loud "click!" was heard!
