Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 170: Randeng can't sit still anymore; he wants to establish Buddhism and become the Buddha? Jin'ao Island deals with Chang'er Dingguang!

Although Zhao Gongming did not know why his master did this, he had no objections and believed that his master would not harm him.

Subsequently, through the methods of the Tongtian Sect Leader, the Supreme Saint Law appeared, allowing Zhao Gongming to sever a wisp of his divine soul, which was then injected into the Ninth-Rank Merit Golden Lotus.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Zhao Gongming's avatar, formed from the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit, took human form.

He was born at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and was closely connected with the Western fortune. It can be said that, apart from the two Western Saints, this avatar of his possessed the most Western fortune!

After sensing the situation behind this mysterious clone, Zhao Gongming also revealed a smile. This clone of his was born at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. It was formed from a ninth-grade merit lotus. Its foundation, aptitude, and the Western fortune it possessed were comparable to his original body. It could be said that it had great potential in the future!

After surviving the tribulation, this clone of Zhao Gongming wore a golden robe and looked about five parts similar to Zhao Gongming, but his temperament was quite different.

"Greetings, Master~"

"Haha, no need for formalities. We are one body, and from now on we should address each other as fellow Daoists," Zhao Gongming said with a hearty laugh.

"Do you have a name, friend?" Zhao Gongming asked, quite pleased with this clone.

"No, please bestow a name upon me, fellow Daoist."

Zhao Gongming pondered deeply upon hearing his clone's words, but both the two Western Saints and Su Shao Chen listened attentively.

"From now on, you shall be called Puguang. When you are born, all directions will be bright, and the sun, moon, and fire pearls will no longer be of use. Because of this wonder, you will be named Puguang and Dingguang!" After Zhao Gongming decided on the name of his avatar, the Western fortune suddenly became more closely connected with Puguang.

This name subtly aligns with Western connotations, and it may even serve as a symbol of prestige in the past, present, and future!

"Haha, excellent! Our Western Paradise has gained another fellow Daoist. We should celebrate!" Seeing this, Jieyin had no other choice.

Moreover, if we put ourselves in their shoes, the West didn't lose out either. The Nine-Rank Merit Golden Lotus didn't leave the West and still plays an important role there.

Rather than harboring prejudice, it is better to accept it openly and treat it with sincerity, so that the other party can fully recognize the West and become a part of it.

"Puguang pays respects to the Sage of Heaven!"

"Good, no need for formalities." The Tongtian Sect Master also used his saintly power to lift up Zhao Gongming's clone. At the same time, his voice rang in Pu Guang's ears, and Zhao Gongming looked at Su Shao Chen with gratitude.

Su Shao Chen noticed Zhao Gongming's gaze and nodded with a smile. The karma between Zhao Gongming and Randeng was destined to clash one day. It would be better to seize Randeng's future resources this time, leaving him with nowhere to go after arriving in the West...

"Puguang pays respects to the Sage of Amitabha and the Sage of Cundi." Puguang then bowed before the two Western Sages.

"No need for formalities. Young friend, you possess the fortune of the West and are naturally one of us from the West. If you have any matters concerning cultivation, please feel free to bring them up at any time," Jieyin said with a gentle and welcoming tone.

Then the two Western Saints also gave them gifts, after all, they were from the West, and they didn't want the good stuff to go to outsiders.

After the compensation was agreed upon, the long-eared Dingguang, who had been ignored all along, now had eyes full of terror.

The two Western Saints were powerless to do anything about it. If it weren't for Chang'er Dingguang's stupidity, they could have brought him to the West quietly. They wouldn't even be afraid of Tongtian. But Chang'er Dingguang's actions were too foolish, and the West had no reason to intervene...

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Chang Er Dingguang with an extremely indifferent expression. With a wave of his sleeve, his figure, Zhao Gongming, Su Shaochen, and Chang Er Dingguang disappeared into the west.

The two Western Saints breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, they set up a temple for Puguang in Mount Sumeru. The two Saints then began to discuss in secret. When Zhunti said that he had obtained the inheritance of the demonic path, even Jieyin was shocked.

Rahu's acceptance among countless beings in the West is complex, and even the guidance of saints is based on this belief.

"Fellow Daoist, please do not disturb me. I have studied the methods of the demonic path and comprehended the great path that leads to the West—Buddhism and Taoism!"

"In the past, when the two of us became saints, we made a vow, and this cause and effect was formed in the dark. In the future, my act of betraying the sect in the West was in accordance with the time of heaven. Otherwise, Master would probably have already taken action. There are people in the prehistoric world who can deceive the heavenly way, but they cannot deceive Master."

"Since Master did not intervene, it means he acquiesced, so it is permissible. My fellow Daoist once said that our Western Paradise would have a time of great prosperity, and I also sensed this when I was studying the Dao. However, our Western Paradise needs to establish its own Dao and its own religion."

"Among my Western disciples, is Maitreya the one who will establish the teachings?" Jieyin also asked.

When a religion is established, merits will inevitably be accumulated, which is an opportunity for the Western disciples. However, these merits have almost no effect on the two saints, so they are not included in this list.

"Although Maitreya has already reached the high level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he is the future decree of the Western Heaven and cannot establish a religion," Zhunti also said.

"What about Miaoshan and Shizhi?"

After several deductions, it was learned that although Zhao Gongming occupied the Western Past Venerable, the Past Venerable and the Future Venerable rarely participated in the affairs of the sect in the future. The ones who truly took charge and were involved were the Present Venerable, Miaoshan, and Shizhi. Of course, there may be other people involved later.

For example, there are several people who will later join the Western Chan Sect, but these two Western Saints have also made preparations.

"In the future, Miaoshan and Shizhi may be called the Three Saints of the West and may establish a religion with outsiders. However, I feel that if the two of them establish a religion, there may be a big surprise." Zhunti said with a worried look on his face.

Jieyin wholeheartedly agreed with Zhunti's words. After all, the Three Pure Ones were not exactly honest people; it was good enough that they didn't cause trouble in the West...

"Since that's the case, everyone can establish a religion, everyone can revitalize the West. For the great prosperity of the West, it is our duty to embrace all paths and encompass the entire universe!" The resolute voice of the guide rang out.

"Brother Dao is truly kind!"

……

As the conversation shifted, just as Pu Guang was inheriting the Western fortune and occupying the position of the future Buddha of Buddhism, Randeng, who was in Xiqi, suddenly opened his eyes. For some reason, the fortune on his body had declined considerably.

In his mind's eye, Ran Deng felt that he had lost something, just like last time.

"Who dares to obstruct my path? I, Randeng, swear to be your mortal enemy!" Randeng roared in his heart, even his aura leaking out uncontrollably, which attracted the attention of Cihang, Wenshu, and the others, who all gathered around Randeng.

Dipankara looked at Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Julusun, and Huanglong. He instantly had some ideas, so he spoke his thoughts in a harsh tone. Cihang and the others were all shocked when they heard them.

But then, whether it was Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Huanglong, or Julusun, they all began to think seriously.

This is undoubtedly a complete gamble. If they win, they will have a bright future and will have more fortune in the West, surpassing their original status among the Western disciples.

But if they lose the bet and their master finds out, their fate will definitely be tragic...

"I have a premonition that the Western destiny is closely linked to ours. If we do not act now, its destiny may be usurped!"

"My mind is made up. I will establish a Western Buddhism in nine days. I wonder if any of you can assist me!"

They and Ran Deng were all in the same boat; they had very few choices, almost none, and could only grit their teeth and take a gamble.
