Chapter 189 A New Path

Amitabha Buddha shook his head and sighed, "I don't know either. The reason for this is this..."

Amitabha Buddha projected his thoughts to Zhunti Taoist about his recent discovery of the Human Emperor and his intention to bring him into the religion. He then told him everything about his conversation with Li Qing.

After finishing his words, Amitabha Buddha smiled and said, "I originally intended to accept him into the sect, but unexpectedly, his few words made my mind waver. I don't know what to do. Zhunti, what do you think, should my Buddhism follow the calamity, or cooperate with the Human Emperor and give it a try?"

After listening to what Amitabha Buddha said, Zhunti Taoist frowned for a moment, slowly sat down cross-legged, and began to think.

Amitabha is not in a hurry either, he just waits calmly.

After thinking for a while, Zhunti Taoist slowly raised his head and looked at Amitabha Buddha. He said in a deep voice: "My brother, in fact, I had already had some thoughts on the way here before."

"oh?"

When Amitabha Buddha saw Cundi, he was obviously very interested.

Zhunti said calmly, "Originally, I planned to have my brother join us in this great calamity. However, on the surface, we are helping Senior Brother Taishang and Second Senior Brother Yuanshi, but in reality, we are extraditing qualified and capable monks from the Jiejiao, Chanjiao, and Renjiao, as well as the Shang nobles, to join our Buddhism and strengthen its influence."

Upon hearing this, Amitabha's eyes lit up. Yes, Zhunti's method is quite good! Nowadays, Buddhism is in decline and its teachings are not well known, but if we can take advantage of this great disaster to recruit more disciples and great monks, then we can naturally expand the influence of Buddhism!

"but."

After Zhunti finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and shook his head, saying, "But I never thought that my brother would tell me such shocking news! The Human Emperor actually saw through the secrets of heaven? He knows the general trend!"

"So, what should we do? You and I should still help teach and explain the teachings?"

Upon hearing this, Amitabha sighed and asked inquiringly.

"If this hadn't happened, I would have let my brother and I participate in the great calamity. But since this has happened, once the Human Emperor goes to tell Third Senior Brother Lingbao about this conspiracy, the conspiracy will be exposed. By then, how many Jiejiao disciples will be able to join our Buddhism?"

Taoist Zhunti frowned slightly and said softly, "Since that's the case, my brother, why don't you and I join the Shang Dynasty? With you, me, and Third Senior Brother Lingbao, what can Senior Brother Taishang and Second Senior Brother Yuanshi do? The most important thing is, if this matter is exposed, Jiejiao will definitely be at odds with others, and the two sects of Chan will completely tear each other apart. In the future war, there will be no loss of opportunity and many casualties. Then you and I will have no chance to extradite Jiejiao disciples, so if we help Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, it will be tantamount to working in vain!"

At this point, Zhunti just sneered and said, "It's all in vain, so forget it! The point is, I don't believe that the eldest and second brothers will allow my brother's teachings to spread in Dongsheng Shenzhou!"

After Zhunti finished speaking, he waved his whisk and sat there, waiting for Amitabha Buddha's final decision.

But Amitabha Buddha had his eyelids drooped, thinking quietly.

It would not be a problem if Lingbao was offended alone, but if the two senior brothers Taishang and Yuanshi were offended, Buddhism would be in great trouble in the future.

But similarly, if this calamity could be reversed, and the Shang Dynasty could be helped to destroy the Western Zhou Dynasty, and His Majesty the Human Emperor pardoned Buddhism as the state religion, then within a hundred years, Buddhism would surely become the world's greatest religion! Its teachings would spread throughout the four continents, the three realms, and the six paths.

"My brother, can this fate be reversed?"

After thinking for a moment, Amitabha suddenly spoke, looked at Jun and asked.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti burst into laughter. He waved his whisk and said calmly, "What is destiny? My brother and I are both immortal and incorruptible Daluo Primordial Golden Immortals. So what destiny can bind you and me? Even if there is destiny, it belongs to our master, Hongjun of Dao, not Taishang Laojun or Yuanshi Tianzun."

When Amitabha heard this, he understood everything. He smiled calmly and nodded slightly.

Zhunti continued, "This great calamity was initiated by Senior Brother Taishang and Second Senior Brother Yuanshi because they could not stand the fact that Jiejiao's teachings had already overwhelmed the human and orthodox teachings. Their goal was to kill Jiejiao's demonic cultivators and destroy its teachings. How could this be considered destiny? My brother, if Buddhism flourishes in the future, they will treat us the same way."

Amitabha nodded slightly and said, "Indeed."

Upon seeing this, Zhunti understood what his brother, who shared the same roots with him, meant. He immediately burst into laughter and stood up, saying, "Since that's the case, I will travel to Chaoge on my brother's behalf! Let's meet the tyrannical Emperor whom you admire so much!"

"Okay."

Amitabha nodded, then closed his eyes and said nothing.

Zhunti smiled and turned away, saying, "The Human Emperor has given us one month to respond. If that's the case, I'll go after the 29th! Hahaha!"

As he spoke, the man turned into yellow light and disappeared without a trace.

Not to mention the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Li Qing turned and walked away. After a moment, he stopped. After standing there for a while, he slowly turned around and looked at the location of the Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue has disappeared without a trace, and the projection of Amitabha Buddha's consciousness has obviously returned to his original form.

"Fuck..."

At this point, Li Qing suddenly let out a breath of air, and a trace of sweat seeped out of his forehead.

Not afraid? Bullshit!

This is the Guided Taoist! This is Amitabha Buddha! This is one of the Six Saints!

Among all the myriad things in the universe, the billions of beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths, there are only six: the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian! The Infinite Supreme Master!

What kind of existence is this? This is an existence that can completely end Li Qing's journey of traveling through time with just a breath!

Not to mention that Li Qing no longer has the purple energy to protect his body, even if he did, he would not be able to withstand a single flick of the finger of this saint.

How could he not be extremely fearful when such a person talked to him?

But at the same time, precisely because of his fear, he couldn't show his weakness! That's why he shouted loudly and spoke righteously, wanting to gain the upper hand with his momentum.

Moreover, he had been planning to win over the Western religion. Now that Amitabha Buddha was in front of him, he didn't have to go to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain or the Western Paradise to look for it. Therefore, he took the opportunity to express his thoughts.

Of course, even if he cooperates, he must take the initiative and cannot beg the West to save him.

“Huh~”

Li Qing took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, then muttered to himself expressionlessly, "In a month, I wonder what Jie Yin and Zhunti will do. Will they continue to serve as thugs for Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun, and use this as a way to recruit Jiejiao disciples, or will they choose to cooperate with me on this new path?"

After saying that, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned and walked away again.
