Chapter 777: Journey to the West Sequel - Salvation Merit 3
"As long as you make me the Avalokitesvara Buddha, I will work with you!" If I can really become the 36th Buddha, who cares whether the Buddha is Tathagata or Wu Tian? It doesn't matter who you work for, right?
Wu Tian laughed wildly with confidence, feeling very proud, "Okay, this Buddha will now confer upon you the title of Avalokitesvara, the Self-Aware Buddha. I want you to know that following me is much more beneficial than following that hypocritical fellow Tathagata!"
"Come here, inform them that from today on, this Guanyin Bodhisattva is a member of our New Lingshan. From today on, he is named the 36th Buddha, and his name is Guanyin Self-Awareness Buddha!"
"Yes, Buddha Wu Tian!"
"Congratulations to Guanyin Self-Awareness Buddha for ascending to the position of Holy Buddha!"
"Congratulations to Guanyin Self-Awareness Buddha for ascending to the position of Holy Buddha!" XN
All the Buddhas in Xinling Mountain bowed to Guanyin and congratulated him on becoming a Buddha. Guanyin felt like she was floating in the air amid the congratulations from the crowd, thinking that her long-cherished wish had finally come true. It was a pity that her cultivation level did not increase with her promotion to Buddhahood, which soon sobered Guanyin up from her ecstasy.
He asked Wu Tian: "Why has my cultivation level not changed at all? I am still a Bodhisattva?"
"If your cultivation doesn't improve, then this kind of self-awareness as a Buddha will be nothing but a decoration, without any substantial benefits?" Guanyin didn't say anything more unpleasant after all. At that moment just now, he really wanted to scold Wu Tian for deceiving himself, and the phrase "becoming a Buddha" was just empty talk.
When Wu Tian heard Guanyin's question, his expression froze for a moment, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye without letting Guanyin notice. Wu Tian explained: "To ascend to Buddhahood, not only do I, the Buddha, need to speak, but I also need the proof of heaven and earth."
"You also know the current situation. A catastrophe is coming and the heavens are in chaos. As long as we successfully deal with the reincarnation of Tathagata and grab all the 17 relics, once the catastrophe is over, I will naturally be the Buddha in the true sense, and you will also be the Avalokitesvara Buddha in the true sense!"
Wu Tian's words sound nice, but the actual meaning is that he is now a traitor who is plotting to usurp the throne, and the position of Buddha is self-proclaimed and does not actually count. Only when he has completely dealt with the previous emperor Tathagata, can he be considered the new emperor with full justification. At that time, as a minister appointed by the new emperor, it will naturally be legitimate.
"......" Guanyin understood and was speechless. For some reason, he felt like he was being cheated again, exactly the same feeling as when he was in charge of the Journey to the West.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." The words have been spoken. It's probably too late to go back on her word and say she doesn't want to work with Wu Tian anymore. Guanyin is very open-minded. At worst, she can just take her time. Anyway, even if Tathagata comes back in the future, he won't really do anything to her!
The first task that Wu Tian gave to Guanyin was to go to Huaguo Mountain to lure Sun Wukong, ask Sun Wukong to help collect the seventeen relics, and hunt down the reincarnated spirit boy of Tathagata.
But he was rejected by Guanyin. Not only did Guanyin reject him, he also looked at Wutan with a very strange look, as if he was not looking at Wutan, but at an uninformed bumpkin who came from nowhere.
Although Wu Tian did not understand Guanyin's eyes, it was true that such eyes made him very annoyed. He asked Guanyin angrily: "Guanyin, why are you looking at me like this?"
Guanyin did not directly answer Wu Tian's question, but asked Wu Tian thoughtfully: "Buddha Wu Tian, how long have you not been out? You were not locked up in a deserted place until recently, right?"
"......." Wutan, who had been imprisoned in the Asura Realm and had just escaped, had nothing to say.
Next, Guanyin focused on explaining in detail to the new Buddha Wu Tian what happened in the Three Realms during the time he was imprisoned, and carefully emphasized a series of things such as how Sun Wukong was voluntarily released by the mentally ill Tang Sanzang.
These two people tacitly ignored the most crucial point, that is, how did Wu Tian, who was imprisoned in the Asura realm, know the monkey Sun Wukong, and accurately know the situation after the original plan of Journey to the West was successful?
Ruyi is still wandering around in the mortal world, not knowing what to do to complete the task.
After three hundred years of preparation and thinking, Ruyi has finally figured out the main contradiction between the Great Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Dao in "The Sequel to Journey to the West", which is the dispute over rules.
The battle of rules, as the name suggests, means that the two heavens are fighting for the rules that this comprehensive world will ultimately abide by. Judging from the plot and ending, the three worlds of "Journey to the West", "The Lotus Lantern" and "The Lotus Lantern Prequel" all abide by similar rules. However, the rules in "Journey to the West Sequel" are a bit different. Not only has the personality of each character changed greatly, but even the protagonist Sun Wukong has lost the spirituality of the psychic stone monkey, and has completely turned into the Buddhist Fighting Buddha.
It’s not that Fighting Buddha is bad, it’s just that Fighting Buddha is just Fighting Buddha, and is no longer the Monkey King Sun Wukong who is loved by the people!
Whoever he thought of would appear before him. When Ruyi was thinking randomly, he flew randomly and happened to fly over the Flower-Fruit Mountain, where he was discovered by Sun Wukong.
After not seeing each other for three hundred years, Sun Wukong's cultivation had successfully broken through. He was originally a celestial immortal, although the lowest one. He was once suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years and had degraded a lot. With the qualifications of a celestial immortal, he could barely display the strength of a mid-level earthly immortal.
Now, from Ruyi's point of view, Sun Wukong's powerful strength has reached the level of a true celestial being.
As soon as he saw Ruyi, Sun Wukong was very excited to ask Ruyi for advice. After he came out of seclusion, he went around challenging famous war gods, such as Yang Jian and Nezha, who were all defeated by him. After winning, he became bored.
Up to this point, Sun Wukong has tasted the loneliness of "seeking the defeat alone". Now when he sees Ruyi again, he is pleasantly surprised to find that Ruyi's cultivation is still higher than his. This makes Sun Wukong very surprised.
Ruyi did not refuse. After all, if she wanted to maintain her strength, she had to fight often. Before, she had been hiding in this world. Her first reaction when she saw people was to hide. She had no chance to fight with others.
Now that Ruyi has received a commission from the Great Heavenly Dao, no matter whether the words of the Great Heavenly Dao are effective now, in name, Ruyi is no longer a smuggler, but an assistant invited in through formal channels. Even if he meets the top three saints, he does not have to be afraid, and naturally he does not have to hide anymore.
"Come! Great Sage, come, let me fight you!"
"Hahahahahaha, sister, you are straightforward. Here I come, Old Sun!" Sun Wukong laughed heartily and immediately took out his golden cudgel and hit Ruyi with it. Ruyi dodged sideways and raised his hand to counterattack with a palm.
