Mount Putuo in the South China Sea, also known as Luojia Mountain.
Dressed in white and radiating Buddhist light, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who appeared incredibly holy, was now staring wide-eyed in a rare display of disarray.
She stared blankly at the two Queen Mothers of the West inside the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain, completely unable to distinguish the real from the fake, utterly bewildered:
"Two Queen Mothers of the West?!"
"How could this be? Isn't the aura of a Quasi-Saint a powerful being something even Saints find difficult to perfectly imitate?"
"Why are there two Queen Mothers of the West appearing on Flower Fruit Mountain at the same time?"
"Which of these two Queen Mothers of the West is the real one?"
...
Xiniu Hezhou, a sacred and spiritual land.
When the Buddha saw the two Queen Mothers of the West appearing at the same time, although he did not lose his composure as much as Guanyin Bodhisattva, he still could not remain calm.
He stopped preaching again, looking in surprise towards the direction of Flower and Fruit Mountain:
"I... am completely unable to distinguish between the real and fake Queen Mother of the West?!"
"Is there really such an incredible art of transformation in the world?"
"Who exactly is this person, transforming into the Queen Mother of the West? What does she want to do?"
The twists and turns on Flower Fruit Mountain caused the Buddha to frown deeply.
He never expected that such a change would occur at the crucial moment when the Spirit Stone Monkey was about to set sail!
...
While being shocked that two Queen Mothers of the West appeared at the same time on Flower Fruit Mountain, it was difficult to tell who was who.
A thought suddenly flashed through the mind of the Buddha:
"If the Queen Mother of the West was an incarnation of someone else... then, could the Three Immortal Maidens, Jin Ning, Daji, and Ao Tingxin also be incarnations of someone else?"
"Perhaps it wasn't Master Tongtian or Aunt Nuwa who were plotting against Journey to the West, but someone else?"
When this thought arose, the Buddha could not restrain himself and immediately took action.
His divine sense first turned toward the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
When the Buddha saw another Ao Tingxin in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, he was shocked:
"Sure enough, there are two Ao Tingxins. The Ao Tingxin from Flower Fruit Mountain is also a transformation created by someone else!"
...
The fact that there were two identical Queen Mother of the West and Ao Tingxin was enough for the Buddha to confirm that the Queen Mother of the West and her entourage who appeared on Flower Fruit Mountain were all imposters.
He thought for a moment, and to be absolutely certain, he then directed his divine sense toward the Heavenly Court.
"Buzz..."
An incomparably powerful divine sense followed the aura of the Three Immortals.
Soon, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao were found in the Heavenly Court.
At this moment, the Three Immortals are visiting their elder brother Zhao Gongming.
Upon seeing that the Three Immortals of the Clouds were staying in the Heavenly Court, the Buddha Tathagata was immediately certain that the Three Immortals of the Clouds, the Queen Mother of the West, and others on Flower Fruit Mountain were all imposters!
"call......"
Seeing this, the Buddha breathed a sigh of relief.
...
In the eyes of the Buddha.
Since the Three Immortal Maidens and the Queen Mother of the West are all imposters, his previous deduction that the two great saints, the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Goddess Nuwa, conspired to plan the Journey to the West is also invalid.
Without the sage's targeting, the Buddha felt much more at ease.
He knew very well that among the saints in the world, even including the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, there were only eight: Hongjun, Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti.
Among them, Hongjun Daozu merged with the Dao, which best follows the general trend of the Heavenly Dao and would not target Buddhism.
Jieyin and Zhunti are the patrons of Buddhism, so naturally they would not target Buddhism.
The Supreme Lord and the Primordial Lord owed the Western Sect a karmic debt during the Investiture of the Gods, and therefore would not target Buddhism.
Therefore, among the saints, the only ones who might target Buddhism are Tongtian Jiaozhu and Nuwa.
Now that the schemes of the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Goddess Nuwa have been ruled out, there are naturally no saints targeting us.
...
The Buddha believed that since no sage had plotted against the Journey to the West, there was nothing else to worry about.
But what he didn't realize was that his perspective was far too narrow.
At this moment, in the world of Journey to the West, a powerful being appeared who was countless times more powerful than the Journey to the West Saints.
Furthermore, this powerful entity doesn't like Buddhism and has already set its sights on it!
