The Buddha understood that he could no longer go back to the past.
After being sent to the Western Paradise by Laozi and becoming the founder of Buddhism, he could no longer become Duobao of the Jie Sect!
After all, regardless of whether he joined the Western Sect voluntarily, he ultimately betrayed the Jie Sect and became a member of the Western Sect.
He even rose to become the leader of Western religions and the founder of Buddhism!
Moreover, putting aside the fact that he has already betrayed the Jie Sect.
More importantly, over the years, he has become firmly bound to Buddhism!
He is not only the Buddha known to all, but his spiritual path is also closely related to Buddhism!
When Buddhism flourishes, the path of the Buddha will become smoother.
If Buddhism declines, the path of the Buddha will become extremely difficult!
...
For example, this Journey to the West, if the journey is successfully completed.
With the rise of Buddhism, the Buddha, as the master of Buddhism, will be able to reap immense benefits and take another step closer to enlightenment and sainthood!
Conversely, if the Journey to the West fails and Buddhism declines.
Then, the Buddha will also be implicated. Not only will his future cultivation become extremely difficult, but his long-cherished dream of attaining sainthood will also vanish like a bubble, drifting further and further away from him!
The Buddha could absolutely not accept this!
After all, cultivation is something of paramount importance to any cultivator.
As the saying goes, those who obstruct someone's path are sworn enemies!
The Buddha has reached this point in the Buddhist path; he is now completely intertwined with Buddhism and cannot be severed!
For the current Buddha...
Even if it was his former master, the Tongtian Sect Leader, who wanted to plan the Journey to the West, he would still have to stop him!
...
The Buddhas in the Vulture Peak were unaware that, in a short period of time, countless thoughts had already passed through the mind of the Tathagata Buddha.
After some thought, the Buddha made a decision.
Immediately, he composed himself and looked in the direction of Flower Fruit Mountain with eyes that seemed to see through everything.
He saw exactly as Guanyin Bodhisattva had described.
In the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain, the Queen Mother of the West, Jin Ning, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, Ao Tingxin, and others were all present!
Besides them, there was also a handsome young man who looked like a god, but who seemed to be just an ordinary mortal!
As the head of Buddhism and a top-tier expert below the sages, the Buddha's vision is far superior to that of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
He could tell at a glance that the Queen Mother of the West, Jin Ning, the Three Immortals, Ao Tingxin, and others who appeared in the Water Curtain Cave were all shrouded in a mysterious power, making it impossible for him to see through their true strength.
Furthermore, their temperament has become even more profound than that seen by the Buddha.
It was as if their strength had greatly improved in a short period of time!
...
Seeing this, the Buddha pondered to himself:
'Was it Master Tongtian and Aunt Nuwa who intervened, enhancing their strength and concealing their true power?'
'With their saintly strength, they could certainly accomplish this... but who is this seemingly mortal man?'
Why would Master Tongtian and Aunt Nuwa send him, along with the Queen Mother of the West, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and Daji, to participate in the Journey to the West?
The Queen Mother of the West, the Three Immortal Maidens, Daji, and others who followed Yin Zicheng to the Journey to the West world were all extremely powerful.
The Buddha could not see through their true strength, so he attributed it to the work of Nuwa and Tongtian Jiaozhu, and was not particularly surprised by it.
However, the Buddha was extremely surprised by Yin Zicheng!
He couldn't understand why someone he knew nothing about, who seemed to be just an ordinary person, would be chosen by the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Goddess Nuwa to participate in such an important Journey to the West!
...
Filled with surprise and doubt, the Buddha Tathagata activated his supernatural powers, wanting to check Yin Zicheng's information.
However.
No matter how much power the Buddha used or how amazing his supernatural abilities were, he could not find a single trace of information about Yin Zicheng.
It was as if Yin Zicheng did not exist in this world, and had not left even the slightest trace of it!
But how could that be possible?
Anything in the world, whether it be an ant, a mortal, or a demon or monster.
Even a stone or a grain of dust will leave its mark on this world, more or less.
The situation of Yin Zicheng, with a blank slate, is extremely strange. This is the first time the Buddha has ever encountered such a situation!
'I can't see through him! How could this be? I can't see through him at all; what is his background?'
This situation greatly shocked the Buddha.
He looked at Yin Zicheng with eyes full of surprise and doubt:
'Who...who exactly is he?!'
