Within the hall of Leiyin Temple!
Manjusri stood at the center, head bowed, a hint of cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
He dared not look directly at Duo Bao Tathagata seated high on the Lotus Platform, his heart filled with trepidation.
"How should I explain this to the World Venerable?"
"Originally, Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation was set to rule the Eastern Continent from the Heavenly Court, but now he has unexpectedly reincarnated into the domain ruled by the Qin Court." Manjusri felt a great panic, unsure how to face this situation.
The matter of Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation was supposed to be under his jurisdiction, yet such a significant error had occurred!
Jin Chanzi unexpectedly failed to reincarnate as planned into the domain ruled by the Heavenly Court north of Eastern Continent, and instead, reincarnated into the territory controlled by the Daqin Heavenly Court.
This unexpected change would disrupt the arrangement of the Buddhist Sect and affect it entirely.
After all, this matter concerns the great prosperity of the Buddhist Sect, a move to seize the Qi Fortune.
"Manjusri Bodhisattva."
"Do you have anything to report?"
Gazing at Manjusri who stood silently in the hall, Duo Bao Tathagata slowly inquired.
"World Venerable."
"Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation, there was an error."
Manjusri replied somewhat apprehensively.
"An error?"
Duo Bao Tathagata gazed intently.
Though he did not display anger, the pressure from him was palpable to Manjusri.
As the foremost power of the Buddhist Sect, his own pressure was unimaginable.
"Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation, our Buddhist Sect’s protector es forth."
"All of this was entrusted to you to arrange."
"How could there be an error?" Duo Bao Tathagata asked again.
"Replying to the World Venerable."
"There was an unexpected change in Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation!"
"Originally designated to reincarnate in the Northern Domain of the Eastern Continent under the Heavenly Court’s rule, he has now reincarnated into the Southern Domain controlled by the Qin Court." Manjusri respectfully responded.
Upon hearing this.
Duo Bao Tathagata’s expression revealed a hint of disturbance.
The expressions of many Buddhas in Leiyin Temple also drastically changed.
"How could such an oversight occur?"
"Wasn’t this matter already settled?" Samantabhadra asked in confusion.
It was also at this moment.
The atmosphere within the Great Leiyin Temple became solemn.
On the Lotus Platform!
Duo Bao Tathagata’s expression remained calm, his gaze profound as the sea, as if he could see through all causes and effects.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice resonating like a great bell throughout Leiyin Temple: "Manjusri, are you aware of the reason behind this?"
Upon hearing this, Manjusri’s heart trembled, and he quickly stepped forward, his hands clasped in respect, answering reverently: "Disciple is at fault, failed to detect the change in Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation, I request Buddha’s punishment."
"However, I am unaware of the cause of this incident."
"The originally planned path of reincarnation for Jin Chanzi suddenly deviated."
When he spoke this.
Manjusri’s voice carried a tinge of guilt and unease, clearly confused by the matter as well.
Everything was arranged, how could this happen?
He was also puzzled.
Duo Bao Tathagata nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the congregation of Buddhas in the hall, he slowly stated: "The matter of Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation concerns our Buddhist Sect’s Qi Fortune and also the great tribulation of the cosmos."
"Now that he has reincarnated into the Great Qin Territory, this is no small matter. Manjusri, slowly elucidate the root cause of how Jin Chanzi departed from the area under the Heavenly Court’s control?"
Manjusri contemplated for a moment, his brows furrowed, seemingly in thought, he glanced at Duo Bao, speaking in a low voice: "Disciple has tried to deduce the reincarnation trajectory of Jin Chanzi, everything was within the reincarnation rules, yet inexplicably, the Power of Reincarnation suddenly became unstable, and Jin Chanzi’s True Spirit was drawn by a mysterious force, deviating from the original path of reincarnation. Despite my efforts to trace it, I have never found the source of that power."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Buddhas in the hall all showed signs of shock.
Jin Chanzi is a significant figure in the Buddhist Sect, his reincarnation concerns the future Qi Fortune of the Buddhist Sect, with a mysterious force interfering now, this matter is of grave importance.
Also.
If it were just for the former great prosperity of the Buddhist Sect, the dissemination of the Buddhist Law to the East, the Buddhist Sect might not be so worried.
But now the essence of Buddhist Sect’s prosperity has changed.
It has transformed into the Westward Journey Tribulation of the cosmos.
Although this affair is led by our Buddhist Sect, in the face of a great tribulation, cultivators in the cosmos are all unable to avoid it.
What then should be done?
"Could it be that all of this is due to the influence of the Power of the Tribulation?"
"Under the workings of the Heavenly Dao, did it interfere with Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation?"
"It’s truly possible."
"Our Buddhist Sect does have Ksitigarbha stationed in the Underworld, with his intervention, there should absolutely be no error."
"Moreover, the Power of Reincarnation was already set, Jin Chanzi’s soul naturally would be guided by the Underworld’s Reincarnation Rules to transmigrate, without external interference, deviation is impossible."
"What then can be done?"
"The Qin Court Territory, this is the Heavenly Court’s arch-enemy, and we have no connection with the Buddhist Sect."
"Now that Jin Chanzi has entered the Qin Court Territory, how should our Buddhist Sect lay out the strategy?"
"The Qin Court, they have many powerful figures, this time things have truly gone awry."
"What should be done?"
...
The Buddhas quietly discussed, some speculating this is a sign of the impending Tribulation, while others believed that someone is secretly plotting against the Buddhist Sect.
Of course.
The most crucial issue is that Jin Chanzi reincarnated into the Great Qin’s territory, which is the true difficulty.
If he had reincarnated under the control of the Heavenly Court, everything would still be within grasp.
But the Qin Court!
There is no cooperation with the Buddhist Sect, and the Qin Court’s strength is also something the Buddhist Sect cannot coerce.
This is the true crux of the problem!
After listening to what Manjusri had said.
Duo Bao Tathagata’s expression remained calm, as if nothing could affect him.
Perhaps, this is also the steadiness befitting the World Venerable of the Buddhist Sect.
After a moment.
Duo Bao Tathagata said again: "Within the cosmos, the number of existences that can interfere with the Power of Reincarnation can be counted on one hand, if it is not a change in the Heavenly Dao, then it is someone secretly orchestrating."
"Manjusri, continue to investigate this matter, be sure to uncover the source of that power."
