Upon hearing this mand.
Manjusri hurriedly nodded and responded: "Disciple accepts the World Venerable’s decree."
At this moment.
The Bodhisattva Guanyin stepped forward, joined her hands, and said: "Buddha, Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation has landed in the Great Qin Territory. Does this have any relation to the Daqin Heavenly Court? Great Qin has risen rapidly in recent years, and it seems there are powerful figures guiding them from behind. If their intention is to interfere with Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation, I fear there might be deeper implications behind this event."
As these words fell.
The expressions of numerous Buddhas inside Leiyin Temple also changed.
Thinking about it this way, it indeed seems possible.
Duo Bao Tathagata nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Qin Court has indeed risen rapidly over these years; there might be a mastermind behind this."
"Especially the Prince of Qin Court, Zhao Feng."
"His strength is formidable, even capable of challenging the Heavenly Emperor."
"The rise in his power is truly not to be underestimated."
"Moreover, he must have someone backing him."
"However, the matter of Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation pertains to a great calamity of Heaven and Earth; even the Daqin Heavenly Court would not dare to easily intervene. This matter requires cautious handling."
The Buddhas in the hall heard these words and nodded in agreement: "The World Venerable speaks wisely."
At this time.
Samantabhadra also spoke, his face filled with worry: "World Venerable, will Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation into the Great Qin Territory affect our Buddhist Sect’s plan for eastward transmission? If Jin Chanzi awakens within the Great Qin Territory, there might be entanglements with the Qin Heavenly Court, and our eastward path may thus encounter changes."
"Moreover."
"Whether Qin Court will allow Jin Chanzi to journey west for scriptures, this is a challenge."
"After all, there is no correlation between our Buddhist Sect and Qin Court, and truthfully, there is some animosity between us."
"In the past, when the Mortal World returned to the Earth Immortal Realm, it was through our Buddhist Sect’s intervention."
"The Heavenly Court attacked Qin and almost annihilated it."
"Perhaps Qin Court also harbors hostility towards our Buddhist Sect."
As these words fell.
The expressions of many Buddhas also turned grim.
If it were some minor factions, the Buddhist Sect might not pay such heed. When faced with the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, they could simply dispatch powerful figures to intimidate.
But Qin Court?
Thinking of the strength of Qin Court.
They did not possess such courage.
A trace of gravity flickered in Duo Bao Tathagata’s gaze, evidently, Samantabhadra’s words resonated in his heart.
In the end.
Qin Court is not under the control of the Buddhist Sect.
In the end.
There ultimately appeared variables this time.
"The reincarnation of Jin Chanzi indeed affects our Buddhist Sect’s plan for eastward transmission."
"However, since this matter is decreed by the Heavenly Dao, it has its own cause and effect. Our Buddhist Sect need only observe the changes, and respond when the time is ripe," Duo Bao Tathagata said.
The Buddhas in the hall, upon hearing this, could only nod in agreement.
However.
In their hearts, the Buddhas could not remain calm.
The matter of Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation not only pertains to the Qi Fortune of the Buddhist Sect but also to the great calamity of the Three Realms.
It even concerns the lives of countless cultivators between Heaven and Earth.
If they fall, it is truly a fall.
Although the Buddhist Sect has numerous strong figures, nearly every one of them is entangled in karma.
The great calamity is changing!
And, the great calamity is not yet truly initiated; the Buddhist Sect has already lost their lead over Jin Chanzi.
What is to be done in this predicament?
Now that Jin Chanzi has reincarnated into the Great Qin Territory, what mystery is hidden behind this event?
All the Buddhas were filled with doubts and worries in their hearts.
Clang!
At this moment, a sound of a bell suddenly came from outside the hall, distant and profound.
Duo Bao Tathagata raised his head to look outside the Great Leiyin Temple.
Then he slowly said: "The Chinese Hour has arrived, and today’s assembly ends here."
"Let all disciples return and cultivate quietly, we will reconvene when the time is ripe to discuss further."
The Buddhas, hearing this, rose one after another, respectfully saluted, and then slowly exited the grand hall.
But just as the Four Great Bodhisattvas were about to mount their Lotus Platforms to depart.
The voice of Duo Bao Tathagata echoed in their ears: "Three Great Bodhisattvas, please stay behind for now."
As numerous Buddhas left.
The Great Leiyin Temple, which was like a Minor World, suddenly became emptier.
Simultaneously.
After Duo Bao Tathagata called for the three Bodhisattvas to stay.
Manjusri, Guanyin, and Samantabhadra all had a slight stir in their hearts, they exchanged glances with each other, secretly speculating if the World Venerable had some important arrangements to instruct.
After all, the matter of Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation had already placed the Buddhist Sect in a passive position. If no action is taken, it might affect the grand rise of the Buddhist Sect.
Duo Bao Tathagata’s gaze contained infinite depth, he slowly scanned the three Bodhisattvas, finally stopping on Manjusri, and spoke solemnly: "Manjusri, although the matter of Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation has slipped from our Buddhist Sect’s control, behind this may lie deeper cause and effect. Go to the Underworld, seek out the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva, and investigate why there were errors in Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation. The Underworld is the Reincarnation Land, where the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva resides, and there might be clues to be found."
"After all, it was initially entrusted to Ksitigarbha to assist with reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, Manjusri’s heart was shaken, he stepped forward hurriedly, joining his hands respectfully: "Disciple shall obey the World Venerable’s decree! I will definitely make every effort to find out the truth of this matter to uphold the foundation of our Buddhist Sect’s prosperity."
At this moment, Manjusri also understood that the Underworld is the foundation of Reincarnation, if there’s an error in Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation, the Underworld must have noticed. If Ksitigarbha can be enlisted to help, perhaps the truth behind this matter can be revealed.
Even if Duo Bao hadn’t spoken, Manjusri was already prepared to go.
Duo Bao Tathagata nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Guanyin, and slowly said: "The Bodhisattva Guanyin, head to Qin Court, observe their movements secretly, and look for opportunities to municate our intentions of goodwill from the Buddhist Sect."
"Qin Court has rapidly risen in recent years, with numerous powerful individuals emerging."
"There might be even stronger figures behind them."
"Now that the great calamity concerns the grand rise of our Buddhist Sect, and even its survival."
"Qin Court, cannot be offended at this time."
Upon hearing this, Guanyin frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.
There is no friendship between Qin Court and the Buddhist Sect, not to mention some enmity, pursuing goodwill may not be an easy task.
But Guanyin also understood that Duo Bao Tathagata’s actions must have deep meaning, so she respectfully replied: "As the disciple is manded, I will act cautiously and will not fail the World Venerable’s trust."
Duo Bao Tathagata’s gaze finally landed on Samantabhadra, speaking solemnly: "Samantabhadra, go to Huaguo Mountain, keep a close watch on Stone Monkey’s movements. The Stone Monkey is born of Heaven and Earth, its fate closely linked to Jin Chanzi. If there are any unusual movements from the Stone Monkey, report immediately."
Upon hearing this, Samantabhadra immediately placed his hands together and stepped forward quickly, respectfully accepting the order: "Disciple accepts the decree!"
"I will closely monitor Stone Monkey’s movements and will not fail the World Venerable’s trust."
Duo Bao’s calculations are boundless.
Samantabhadra understood that the Stone Monkey is not merely a Spiritual Object born of Heaven and Earth but a key step in the great calamity, vital for the grand rise of the Buddhist Sect.
Its fate is intricately connected with Jin Chanzi.
This journey to Huaguo Mountain might yield some clues.
Furthermore.
More importantly, it is to prevent anyone from implementing their plan on Stone Monkey, just like Jin Chanzi fell into this unresolved situation.
After the assignments were given.
Duo Bao Tathagata, seeing that all three had accepted their orders, further instructed: "On these missions, you must act cautiously, do not act rashly. The great calamity of Heaven and Earth is approaching, the situation across Heaven and Earth has begun to bee chaotic, our Buddhist Sect needs to prepare early to face possible changes."
"After all, we have made quite a few enemies over the years."
The three Bodhisattvas, hearing the words, respectfully saluted and said: "Disciple will heed the World Venerable’s teachings."
Seeing this.
Duo Bao Tathagata said no more, waving them off, indicating for the three Bodhisattvas to retreat.
The three Bodhisattvas respectfully saluted, then slowly exited the Great Leiyin Temple.
Inside the vast Great Leiyin Temple, only Duo Bao Tathagata remained alone. He looked towards the sky, a hint of profoundness in his gaze, and murmured softly: "The great calamity of Heaven and Earth is drawing near, and chaos will engulf the Three Realms. Jin Chanzi, where will your fate lead?"
"And where will the fate of our Buddhist Sect lead?"
Just as Duo Bao Tathagata pondered.
Boom!
Boom!
A terrifying Demonic Qi rushed towards Duo Bao Tathagata’s Lotus Platform.
It seemed.
The Lotus Platform of Duo Bao Tathagata was a seal.
"Moluo."
"This seat is still present."
"Descend for this seat."
Duo Bao Tathagata coldly intoned.
Buddha Light shone universally, dispersing and suppressing the Demonic Qi.
