I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 511 The Pain Points of the Elysium System
Upon hearing Ksitigarbha's words, the expressions of those at the meeting were not good, because this involved a problem with the Bliss pantheon—the Bliss pantheon cannot be considered an "independent" pantheon.

Strictly speaking, the Pure Land school is not a "Buddhist" system, but rather a lineage that evolved from various legends that branched out independently from the Pure Land school of Buddhism.

But the Pure Land School, despite its rapid development, large scale, and numerous followers, and its seemingly perfect existence, can never truly "exist independently."

Take the Western pantheon as an example. Whether it's Asgard, Olympus, or the Celts, they all possess a worldview that "only their own pantheon exists."

In the East, both the myths of the Central Plains system, based on ancestors, stars, and history, and the myths told by civilizations living in the shadow of the Central Plains system, have complete and relatively independent worldviews.

However, the concept of the Pure Land does not exist. It is either based on the Brahma system or the Heavenly Court system, and it is very rare for it to exist independently (Note ①).

Despite their apparent status in the celestial realm, countless pantheons secretly refer to them as "parasites."

This has resulted in all planes within the Elysium system having other pantheons that can compete with them.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha has always had the idea of ​​attaining Buddhahood in the Pure Land system, but from the moment the first Journey to the West world merged into the Heavenly Realm, there has never been anyone capable of wearing the armor of the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

To become the Victorious Fighting Buddha, one must first be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. But the moment one becomes the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, one dons the armor of a Heavenly God and is then taken away by the Heavenly Court. How could one possibly fall into the hands of the Blissful Kingdom?

It's not just the Victorious Fighting Buddha and the Cleansing Altar Messenger in the Journey to the West series that have this problem; various divine positions in the Investiture of the Gods and the Primordial Era series also suffer from the issue of being hijacked.

Even traditional deities such as Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Vaishravana are often taken away by the Heavenly Court.

Not to mention the Heavenly Court faction, even those bastards from Takamagahara would occasionally come and snatch a few away. This is why, despite having a huge fortune, the Bliss faction could only rely on deception and fraud to recruit new members.

But the more they cheat and swindle, the worse their reputation becomes; the worse their reputation, the less people want to join them, so they have to cheat and swindle even more.

Swindling and deception require money; becoming a Buddha requires money; seizing a plane of existence requires money...

All these factors combined have led to the current predicament of the Blissful Sect, which is obsessed with money, has poor interpersonal relationships, and a bad reputation.

Fortunately, they are indeed quite capable, and they don't have any conflicts with the Western faction, which can be considered a kind of "befriending distant states while attacking nearby ones" strategy in a sense.
Now that this has been said, almost all the high-ranking members of the Blissful System feel a burning embarrassment.

Nothing is more unattainable than this.

"This might be an opportunity!" the Buddha's incarnation suddenly spoke, causing the crowd, who were feeling dejected, to turn their heads slightly.

Venerable Kasyapa smiled slightly, displaying his true nature as a straight man in a comedy duo—

"You mean, before he's even properly donned his armor, we should forcibly extradite him here?" "No, even if we capture him, he won't become the Victorious Fighting Buddha without the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's armor! It's not worth making enemies of the Heavenly Court just to vent our anger." Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head, indicating that this would be a losing proposition.

But Venerable Kasyapa simply smiled and said:
"It takes time to don the armor. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven had to rebel against Heaven, then be granted amnesty, and then cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace before he could don the armor. As for the Victorious Fighting Buddha, as long as we suppress him the moment he finishes causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, we can directly interrupt the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's armor-donning process and switch him to the path of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. Once he is suppressed, is it difficult to sign a contract?"

"We've tried this idea before, but the problem is how do you suppress him on Heaven's territory?"

Ksitigarbha shook his head. How could the Blissful Sect not have had designs on the Victorious Fighting Buddha, their beloved white moonlight?
Although Venerable Kasyapa had figured out how to explain it, he did not speak, because it was up to the Tathagata.

As expected, seeing that the topic had come to this point, the Tathagata gave Kasyapa an approving look, while simultaneously forming a Dharma-teaching mudra with his hand, and said:
“The monkey demons who donned armor before all followed the path of their predecessors. They were cultivated by the Heavenly Court itself, so they naturally chose the location for donning the armor. But this time, it’s a genius who will write a legend! For him, the Heavenly Palace may not be the Heavenly Palace of the Heavenly Court! Our Blissful System has palaces in the Heavenly Realm, so why can’t it be the Heavenly Palace? Capture him, deliberately let him escape, let him cause trouble on our territory, and once he successfully dons the armor, suppress him directly. Then find another world and send him there to go through the journey to the West. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?”

"So it seems feasible, but the question is, how do we capture him?" Although Guanyin Bodhisattva only used a remote divine avatar to confront the temporary worker, it was clear that the opponent was not weak. In addition, considering that she had previously destroyed Ksitigarbha's divine avatar, she was obviously not very optimistic about this plan.

"That guy's magic is strange. His divine thought avatar is suppressed by him. Let the armored Arhat who cultivates the form of the King of Light go down. His true body can retain more strength when he goes down to the mortal world. His karma will also be shallow, so it is not easy to cause world turmoil. As long as we provide him with one or two suppression-type magic artifacts and leave him a channel for transmitting his will power, there should be no problem."

Ksitigarbha, who had actually fought Feng Xue, spoke in a solemn tone. Upon hearing this, Tathagata nodded and said:

"Okay, but don't use those temporary workers, let your trusted subordinates do it."

"It's natural."

……

After a group of bigwigs finished their meeting, a bald man who was cultivating merit in the mortal realm immediately received the news.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Blissful Sect's recruitment mainly relies on deception and trickery; there are still loyal followers, and these loyal followers are naturally the bloodline descendants of the big shots.

Although in principle, the Blissful Lineage should practice asceticism and cultivation and should not have offspring, there is a loophole that the Blissful Lineage can exploit: "reincarnation cultivation." They can find a Netherworld, retain their memories, reincarnate into a lower world, have a few children, bring them back and raise them, and that would make them the direct descendants!

The one who was notified at this time was an armored Arhat whose bloodline came from a high-ranking incarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The so-called armored Arhat is not actually an Arhat, but an apprentice Arhat who is putting on armor. Unlike the Buddha, who could obtain an incarnation and divine position simply by having "money", an Arhat must truly accumulate merit, create a golden body, and fulfill all causes and effects. The one who follows the path of the Vidyaraja is even more so, having earned his status through battle.

Although the process of donning the armor is arduous, the strength gained is undeniable. If one is lucky and has high aptitude, one can write a legend and perhaps even develop a new divine position.

With a single punch, he obliterated the thug in front of him. Although somewhat puzzled, the high monk still pulled out his equipment from his pocket. As the gate to the heavens opened, his figure vanished from this world...
