Heavenly Court.
When the Buddha's divine sense swept across the heavens, all the top beings in the Heavenly Court became aware of it.
Taiwei Yuqing Palace.
As soon as the Queen Mother of the West arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain, the Buddha's divine sense immediately swept over. As clever as he was, he immediately guessed that the Buddha had come to confirm whether the Three Immortals of the Clouds appearing on Flower Fruit Mountain were genuine.
His thoughts shifted, and he relayed a message to the Buddha:
"Buddha, have you also discovered that the Three Immortals of Huaguo Mountain and the others are fake?"
The Jade Emperor was certain that the Buddha had discovered this after him.
He felt that he was superior to the Buddha, and was quite proud of himself.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor took the initiative to convey a message to the Buddha.
...
At the same time.
Not only the Jade Emperor noticed the Buddha's investigation, but Doumu Yuanjun, the Lord of the Stars who was originally a disciple of the Jie Sect, and Zhao Gongming, the elder brother of the Three Immortals, also noticed the Buddha's investigation.
Doumu Temple.
Doumu Yuanjun, who was originally a disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu along with the Buddha, felt the Buddha's divine thought and her expression hardened:
'Could it be that the Tathagata's divine sense is spying on the Three Immortals and Gongming's side, perhaps harboring some ulterior motive?'
Although Doumu Yuanjun was originally a fellow disciple of the Buddha.
Although the Buddha did not voluntarily abstain from his religion and join the Western religion.
However.
Because of the Buddha's betrayal of the Jie Sect, and his failure to save the disciples of the Jie Sect despite climbing to such a high position in Buddhism.
This caused Doumu Yuanjun to have a very bad impression of the Buddha.
At this moment, upon seeing the Buddha suddenly and inexplicably probing the location of the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming, Doumu Yuanjun immediately became alert.
She frowned and coldly relayed a message to the Buddha:
"Buddha, what are you spying on?!"
...
Temple of the God of Wealth.
Zhao Gongming was chatting with the Three Immortals of Sanxiao.
Suddenly, he vaguely sensed that a divine sense was spying on him.
Immediately, Zhao Gongming's expression hardened, and he focused his attention to examine the matter carefully.
Sure enough, he discovered traces of the Buddha's spying.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Gongming's expression immediately darkened:
"Why is this traitor, Tathagata, suddenly spying on this place? Does he perhaps have some kind of conspiracy?"
Like Doumu Yuanjun, Zhao Gongming also had no good feelings towards the Buddha.
Upon discovering that the Buddha was spying on him, he immediately wondered if the Buddha had some kind of conspiracy!
...
Seeing the Three Immortals of the Clouds in the Heavenly Court, and confirming that the Queen Mother of the West and the Three Immortals of the Clouds who appeared on Flower Fruit Mountain were imposters of the Buddha, he felt much better.
Faced with the Jade Emperor's words, which were tinged with a sense of superiority, the Buddha did not feel any sense of defeat.
In his view, the Three Immortals were subordinates of the Jade Emperor, so it was perfectly normal for him to discover them a little ahead of time.
Therefore, the Buddha Tathagata calmly responded to the Jade Emperor:
"Jade Emperor, do you know who is so audacious as to impersonate someone from the Heavenly Court and appear at Flower Fruit Mountain, intending to provoke a conflict between the Heavenly Court and Buddhism?"
The Buddha knew very well that since he couldn't see through the true nature of these imposters from Flower Fruit Mountain, the Jade Emperor certainly couldn't either.
Furthermore, among those imposters were the Three Immortals of Heaven.
Therefore, the Buddha took this opportunity to make a fuss, saying that those people's actions were a provocation and a target of the Heavenly Court.
...
Taiwei Yuqing Palace.
The Jade Emperor was surprised by the Buddha's response.
Suddenly, his previously good mood turned gloomy.
Although the Jade Emperor was very reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that what the Buddha said was indeed true!
So, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Could it be that those people on Flower Fruit Mountain who impersonate the Queen Mother of the West and the Three Immortal Maidens are not only interfering in the Journey to the West, but also plotting against the Heavenly Court?"
