Chapter 1059: Chapter 1057: Willing to Be Torn to Pieces 1

Chapter 1057: Willing to Risk Everything (1/3)

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators.

Dream-Making Expert.

The Buddha statue opened its eyes, and Buddhist light surged.

This single divine and bizarre scene instantly shocked the Great Monks of Ci'en Temple.

Before the Great Monks could even wail and cry out for the Buddha Ancestor to manifest.

The Tathagata, shrouded in golden light, flipped up like a carp.

Shocked and terrified, he cried out involuntarily.

"The Supreme Tathagata?"

"You, what point in time did you arrive?!"

The Buddha statue was silent, as if the earlier manifestation had already exhausted all of its power.

It merely kept its eyes open, gazing silently at the Tathagata.

Even though the Tathagata had weathered great storms, being stared at by a manifested statue of the Supreme Tathagata still made his heart palpitate, and he retreated repeatedly.

The Abbot of Ci'en Temple at his side immediately attentively reached out to support the Tathagata, smiling ingratiatingly.

"Son of Buddha, watch your step."

"Scram."

"Understood."

The Abbot of Ci'en Temple complied gladly, his aged body instantly becoming nimble as he rolled on the ground.

While rolling, he even asked with a chuckle.

"Son of Buddha, do you see this humble monk rolling well?"

The Tathagata was speechless, not bothering to acknowledge the Abbot of Ci'en Temple who had suddenly become like a sycophantic petty man.

His gaze flickered as he circled the statue of the Supreme Tathagata that had manifested earlier twice.

Seeing the statue silent, with only a pair of golden-glowing eyes following him.

The Tathagata then spoke again to probe.

"My Buddha Supreme, if that was truly your will descending just now, issuing a decree."

"Ordering this old monk to go beat that Heaven-Abandoning Emperor to death."

"Then please, My Buddha Supreme, bestow upon me a Demon-Slaying Dharma Artifact."

"This old monk is not greedy; just casually give me some Supreme Emperor Weapon you don't want."

The Buddha statue was silent, simply gazing at the Tathagata.

The Tathagata also widened his eyes, staring back.

Four eyes met, utterly silent.

The Great Monks nearby did not dare even breathe loudly, afraid of accidentally disturbing the sacred communion between the Son of Buddha and the Buddha Ancestor.

"So you plan to give nothing and have this old monk go empty-handed?"

The Tathagata exclaimed, his face flushing red.

There were many ways to insult someone.

But this was the most outrageous.

If this old monk could beat Lin Qi, then why the hell would I need you, the Supreme Tathagata, to give the order?

The Tathagata laughed in anger, closing his eyes and preparing to give up and slack off.

Damn it.

You want the horse to run, but you won't let the horse eat grass.

Whoever wants to do this job, do it!

Seeing the Tathagata about to slack off at the slightest disagreement, the Supreme Tathagata could only once again manifest the Buddha statue, his will surging.

"He wants the Law-Sealing Ancestral Star."

"With the vastness of the mortal world, to establish the supremacy of one era."

"This scheme is crude, but it has a chance of succeeding."

"You all must enter the fray and contend for my Buddhist order."

"If you can seize the initiative, in the future I can promise you the position of Lord of Spirit Mountain."

Using what I already have to tempt me into descending?

The Tathagata sneered inwardly, but quickly detected a trace of anger gathering within the Buddha statue.

The Tathagata's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head, speaking.

"My Buddha Supreme."

"The position of Lord of Spirit Mountain, this old monk dares not covet."

"This old monk only asks for My Buddha Supreme's permission, that in the future, this old monk may, like Dīpankara, the Ancient Buddha, forever guard the past for My Buddha Supreme."

The Supreme Tathagata's Buddha statue pondered for a moment before dropping a single word, "Granted."

"Thank you, My Buddha Supreme."

"Farewell, My Buddha Supreme."

The Tathagata immediately shouted joyfully, inwardly utterly relieved.

Because after learning that among the Buddhist Supremes there was also a Supreme Tathagata.

He had realized his own path forward was most likely gone.

After all, the Supreme Tathagata sat upon the throne of the Supreme Buddha.

He too was a Tathagata. Could he really push the Supreme Tathagata off and sit on that supreme throne himself?
