I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 48 Maitreya's Life and Death Crisis
Yuanshi Saint sat upright on the cushion, thinking about what the ancient Buddha Dipankara had said before.

"Open the big world?"

Yuanshi Saint did not think that the Buddha Dipankara would deceive him. After all, he had just seen the Heavenly Dao send down chains and the Buddha Dipankara retaliate twice.

"If the two saints of the ancient Hongmeng had the same vision as the ancient Buddha, why would they have managed the West into such a state?"

Yuanshi Tianzun pointed to the void with one hand, and a mirror appeared among the dots of light, but no image appeared on the mirror.

"That is to say, the evolutionary diagram has truly given me peace of mind. Even though I sense what Heaven wants me to do, my mind is like a mirror, reflecting only myself!"

Yuanshi Sage kept muttering, "Stop! What a clean word! Since there is such a great and true Buddha in the West, I will just let him go. If the variables are more powerful than mine, then I will just enjoy myself."

"The saint lies high in the ninth heaven, and sees nothing of the suffering of the three realms!"

Yuanshi Shengren's eyes were tightly closed, and in the mirror in front of him, the image of Sun Wukong holding the Zhenhai Divine Needle faintly appeared. His eyes were clear and he glanced outside the mirror.

Sun Wukong blinked, and the mirror shattered immediately.

The corner of Yuanshi Saint's mouth curled up beautifully as he closed his eyes to practice, as if he had gained some insights from his practice.

Let’s talk about the Lingshan Mountain where the Western Paradise landed. The Buddha Tathagata woke up on the ninth-grade lotus and looked into the void. Not far away, the big-bellied Maitreya came flying on the clouds.

"Is the Buddha well these days?" The smile on the corner of the big-bellied Maitreya's mouth never disappeared. Even when facing the Buddha, he still kept smiling. He was not afraid of anything in the world and tolerated all the high and low in the three realms. This was Maitreya.

As if infected by Maitreya Buddha's smile, Tathagata Buddha's eyes became a little softer. With a wave of his monk robe, a crack appeared in the barrier, and the big-bellied Maitreya appeared in front of Tathagata Buddha with clouds flickering slightly under his feet.

The Tathagata Buddha nodded slightly and said, "Why is the Buddha from the East interested in coming to me?"

The sound of the Buddha coming from the East made Maitreya Buddha put his hands together and apologized: "Namo! Buddha is infinite, saying this is really embarrassing to me."

"The destiny of heaven has changed, and the calamity is hard to predict. Now all parties are eyeing me covetously. Even the Buddha from the East is about to betray our Buddhist sect. What's the point of saying that?" The voice of Tathagata Buddha was extremely cold.

"Sin, sin, I absolutely do not have such thoughts!!"

"Since the Buddha from the East has decided to rebel against Buddhism, why is he hiding so much? I don't deserve it! Today, I will definitely kill you!"

The Tathagata Buddha shouted loudly, and the Buddhist kingdom evolved in his palm, and he slammed his palm towards Maitreya Buddha.

As the Buddhaland in his eyes continued to expand, Maitreya Buddha exhaled deeply, and his eyes became clear again. Is there a certain probability that the Buddha guessed his true intention and betrayed Buddhism?

Seeing that Tathagata Buddha was about to speak, Maitreya Buddha immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Buddha, not long ago I heard a decree that the calamity has begun. I wonder if there is anything that you, the Buddha, can help me with?"

The Tathagata Buddha leaned back slightly and said, "I only heard about the Dao Order not long ago, and the changes are very serious. Not long ago, I let Jin Chanzi enter the calamity first."

Upon hearing this, Maitreya Buddha's pupils shrank slightly. "Having the Buddha in the West is truly a blessing for us novice monks! In that case, I will return to practice!"

After he finished speaking, Maitreya Buddha bowed and turned to leave.

Maitreya Buddha did not dwell on the matter of Jin Chanzi. He came today just to stop the Buddha's investigation, but he saw that he might die if he was not careful in the future. In this case, there was no reason for him to fight for it anymore.

After all, until now, the escaped variable has never come to find him and the ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp. For the sake of justice for the human race, they have done their utmost to do this.

"Is there nothing else you want to ask, Buddha from the East?" The voice of Tathagata Buddha sounded behind Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha did not turn around, but replied seriously: "The Buddha's plan must be very comprehensive. If the Buddha needs me, I will definitely call me. I just need to obey your orders!"

The Tathagata Buddha was silent for a long time, and the Maitreya Buddha stood there quietly with his back to the Tathagata Buddha, motionless.

"Ok!"

After a long while, Tathagata Buddha finally spoke softly. It was just one word, but to Maitreya Buddha's ears it sounded like the sound of nature: "With that, I will take my leave."

Maitreya Buddha slowly stepped out of the barrier, clouds appeared under his feet, and gradually disappeared from the sight of Tathagata Buddha.

"If He truly harbored rebellious intentions, He would definitely not expose His back to me like this. Am I overthinking this?"

The silence just now did not mean that there was no confrontation. On the contrary, during that silence, as long as Tathagata thought about it, Maitreya Buddha would definitely die today.

"But if you really have no intention of rebelling, why are you showing such weakness?"

Tathagata narrowed his eyes slightly and began to make hand gestures with one hand, but Maitreya Buddha's cultivation level was comparable to his, and if he forced the gestures, it might hurt his foundation.

Finally, he slowly loosened his hand and looked quietly at the Buddha Kingdom in his palm. Just now, as long as Maitreya Buddha had made the slightest movement, Tathagata Buddha guaranteed that this attack would be launched.

"I hope this is just my illusion! This catastrophe is also a touchstone for the rectification of Buddhism. Maitreya, you must not make a mistake. I am training you as the next successor!"

As Tathagata Buddha spoke, he clapped his hand towards the void, and suddenly, a curtain of light appeared.

The location where the light curtain appeared was the East China Sea. At this time, the water above the East China Sea was rippling and very calm.

Buddha Tathagata shook his head slightly: "I guess it's because I've been thinking about the kalpa a lot lately, so I have some intuition!"

He waved his hand again, and the light curtain shattered.

The Tathagata Buddha looked in the direction Maitreya had just left and murmured, "Maitreya! Don't make a mistake!"

After leaving Lingshan, Maitreya wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The Buddha is different now. After taking charge of Lingshan in the West, the Buddha's aura has become increasingly dark, and his actions have become increasingly ruthless."

"If this continues, the human race will have a very difficult time living at the foot of Lingshan Mountain in the future. The two saints' clones have disappeared since they were deified. I wonder if the ancient Buddha will find a way out for Buddhism this time!"

"Alas!" Maitreya Buddha let out a deep breath.

"Although the ruthless Buddha can indeed lead the West to a higher position, his followers will become pigs and sheep kept in a pen to provide incense. If the Heavenly Dao really can dominate, it will be fine, but now the voices of the Underworld Dao are getting louder and louder!"

"Buddha, have mercy on me. I hope you can understand why I'm doing this!"

Maitreya Buddha immediately sat down cross-legged, and a cloth bag appeared behind him. The moment the cloth bag appeared, it grew straight up in the wind, and in a breath it became ten thousand meters wide. The black bag was like a black hole.

"I have a bag that can hold karma! Now I, Maitreya, in the name of the future Buddha, will store the karma line of the West. Here, there is no karma of countless kalpas!"

Maitreya Buddha pointed his finger at the cloth bag in the sky. Suddenly, a powerful suction force came out from the pocket, and the slightly illusory cause and effect lines were swallowed into it.

For a moment, the spiritual energy here became stagnant and heavy.

Not only that, as the suction of the pocket grew stronger, the sacred mountains in the distance became a little more ethereal.

Puff! Not until Maitreya Buddha spat out a mouthful of blood did the bag stop sucking and turned into a small bag again, falling in front of Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha slowly stood up and said, "Let's make the sound of the tunnel a little louder. This will help the invisible variables a little more."

Let’s not talk about Maitreya Buddha for now, let’s just say that Ye Xuantian left the Ksitigarbha Temple and headed towards Mount Futu.

Ye Xuantian flew through the clouds at an extremely fast speed, his face full of seriousness: "The ancient Buddha's aura is calling me over. Could it be that he wants to unseal the Saint Jieyin?"
