284: Chapter 187: Stunned_2 284: Chapter 187: Stunned_2 Amitabha Buddha’s words instantly put a big hat on Tathagata Buddha. Tathagata Buddha naturally would not admit it. He smiled faintly and said, “As for the Heavenly Court, I only recognize the Heavenly Court ruled by the Jade Emperor, the Ziwei Heavenly Court; let them truly rule the Three Realms before we talk.” “The Jade Emperor has already died. Now the Ziwei Heavenly Court is the only Heavenly Court. Even if the Jade Emperor truly isn’t dead, when he returns, he won’t be able to change this fact. Your denial means nothing,” Amitabha Buddha said indifferently. Without waiting for Tathagata Buddha to speak, he continued, “If you dare to make a move, then just come at me directly. There’s no need for so much idle talk. You said it yourself, the position of Lord of the Buddhist Realm belongs to the strongest. If you can kill me, then you are the Lord of the Buddhist Realm.” Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and the others were all shocked, looking at Amitabha Buddha with changed expressions. They were seeing Amitabha Buddha’s ferocity for the first time, so bullish even when facing Tathagata Buddha. In contrast, Tathagata Buddha, whom they thought to be even stronger than Amitabha Buddha in their hearts, was indecisive and unwilling to make a move. Tathagata Buddha scoffed with disdain. Laughing coldly, he said, “Amitabha Buddha, do you even have a brain? You’ve fallen for the Ziwei Heavenly Court’s divide and conquer strategy. The moment we engage in a fight to the death, as soon as one of us falls, it will be much easier for the Ziwei Heavenly Court to deal with the Buddhist Realm. When the Buddhist Realm is destroyed, can you bear that responsibility?” Amitabha Buddha responded with a faint smile, “I trust the Ziwei Heavenly Venerate.” “Old Sun guarantees that as long as the Buddhist Realm doesn’t commit any egregious deeds, doesn’t plot any rebellion, the Ziwei Heavenly Court will definitely not harm the Buddhist Realm. Now you can make your move, right?” Wukong said. Glancing at Sun Wukong, Tathagata Buddha responded with a cold laugh, “Why should I trust you? Humph, I can’t be bothered to argue with you. Amitabha Buddha, you’d better wake up too, don’t be confused by the schemes of the Heavenly Court.” Having said that, Tathagata waved his hand, casting out a Buddha’s Light, and led Maitreya Buddha and the others away. They left? The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Pure Land were all somewhat confused, None of them had expected that Tathagata Buddha, of all beings, would just walk away like that. What happened to the struggle for the position of Lord of the Buddhist Realm? What happened to suppressing Amitabha Buddha? It turned out that when Amitabha Buddha stood his ground, Tathagata Buddha dared not engage with him. They had all thought that Tathagata Buddha’s presence would suffice to keep Amitabha Buddha in check. Instead, he had first been beaten up by Sun Wukong and Master Erlang. When it came Amitabha Buddha’s turn to take action, Tathagata Buddha actually fled. This disordered everyone’s perceptions, completely overturning their prior understanding of Tathagata Buddha. All were speechless, unsure of what to say. “That’s it?” Amitabha Buddha looked surprised. Only Sun Wukong knew why Tathagata had run away. All of his schemes were about to be unveiled. In the meantime, he didn’t want to sustain any damage. Thus, Tathagata avoided the battle with Amitabha Buddha. If Tathagata knew that all his years of arrangements amounted to nothing, one could only imagine how colorful his expression would be. “Since Tathagata has withdrawn, Immortal Master Erlang and I will also take our leave. Congratulations to Amitabha Buddha for repelling Tathagata Buddha. From now on, you are the first among the Supreme Honored Buddhas of the Buddhist Sect,” Wukong said with a smile. Amitabha Buddha knew very well it was not because he had driven Tathagata away. But since Wukong had said it, he would accept it. Today, he felt as though a weight had been lifted from his chest, and both his cultivation and realm were swiftly advancing. Maybe it wouldn’t be long before he truly wouldn’t be suppressed by Tathagata anymore, able to stand on equal footing with him. “I must also thank the Great Saint. If it weren’t for the Great Saint and Immortal Master Erlang, I might not have been able to secure this position in the Buddhist Realm today,” Amitabha Buddha expressed his gratitude. Wukong spit out a mouthful of blood, disdainfully saying, “Tathagata is not as frightening as you imagine. He’s a smart man, but a smart man’s worries are often greater. Rest assured, he also won’t rashly engage with you in the future.” Although Amitabha Buddha didn’t understand why, he still thanked Wukong. He no longer doubted his words. “Thank you for the reminder, Great Saint. From now on, I am no longer afraid of Tathagata. If it comes to it, I’ll just fight,” Amitabha Buddha said with a smile. Sun Wukong nodded and he, along with Master Erlang, took their leave. Having left the Pure Land, Yang Jian asked, “Are you alright?” He was somewhat worried; Sun Wukong had been struck so many times by Tathagata, his injuries must be very serious. Sun Wukong coughed lightly, and a trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He took a deep breath and circulated his Mysterious Skill to heal his wounds. “Don’t worry, these injuries are nothing to me, and I will recover soon. Otherwise, my Immortal Body would be a joke,” Sun Wukong replied. Yang Jian looked skeptical. He felt Sun Wukong might be downplaying his injuries to avoid worrying him when, in fact, they were severe. Just then, he saw Wukong take out a Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill and swallow it. All the injuries within Sun Wukong’s body healed in an instant. Yang Jian was left staring, dumbfounded. Was that a Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill? A pill that could allow even a mortal to become a Celestial Immortal was devoured just like that by Sun Wukong. “Didn’t you say the injuries weren’t serious?” Yang Jian asked, with an odd look on his face. Sun Wukong nodded and said, “Indeed, they weren’t serious, but the injuries that would take time to heal... I always have a feeling that Tathagata might still have plans to ambush me, so it’s better to be in peak condition, am I wrong?”
