The Buddha paid a tremendous price to attain enlightenment and sainthood.
He betrayed the Jie Sect, which had once been like a family to him.
As an outsider, he went through countless hardships to defeat the Daoist Randeng, the True Man Cihang, the True Man Puxian, and others from the Chan Sect, as well as Maitreya, Ksitigarbha, Mahasthamaprapta, and others from the Western Sect, before finally becoming the master of Buddhism.
He devoted himself to the prosperity of Buddhism and did a great deal of work.
he......
The Buddha has done so much and sacrificed so much.
But in the end, he was never able to cross the gap between non-saints and saints and become a saint who was above all living beings!
He stood before the sage's gate, but could not enter!
...
Originally, in the vast world of Journey to the West, apart from the seven saints—Hongjun Laozu, Taishang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Nuwa Niangniang, Jieyin Daoren, and Zhunti Daoren—there were no other saints.
Even powerful beings with far more seniority than himself, such as Zhenyuan Daxian, Styx Ancestor, Queen Mother of the West, and Demon Master Kunpeng, failed to attain sainthood.
The Buddha felt much comforted.
It wasn't that he lacked ability, but rather that after the primordial world shattered, the difficulty of becoming a saint became even greater.
Given such a high level of difficulty, achieving sainthood solely through one's own efforts is virtually impossible.
The Buddha decided to emulate the advanced experiences of those who had attained sainthood in the past, such as the Guide Daoist, the Zhunti Daoist, and the Supreme Laozi, and with the help of Buddhism, he would cross the threshold of becoming a god and become the eighth saint!
...
Originally, the Buddha could use this reason to comfort himself.
But at this moment.
When the Buddha saw Yin Zicheng and his group who came from beyond the realm, he noticed that any one of them was a powerful saint.
The Buddha's emotions suddenly became uncontrollable, almost bursting out!
"Why should I?!"
"Why is this so unfair?!"
The Buddha exclaimed in his heart.
He boasts that his talent is top-notch, and his own efforts surpass those of others.
Why is it that, despite his excellence and hard work, he has never been able to become a saint?
How can these people from other realms become saints so easily?
This is so unfair!
...
At this moment, the Buddha's resentment from years of unfulfilled hopes of becoming a saint erupted all at once.
His heart was filled with resentment and complaints about the injustice of Heaven!
A deep sense of resentment and negative emotions constantly assaulted the Buddha.
His whole demeanor became strange.
Under the onslaught of overwhelming negative emotions and resentment, the Buddha's heart, cultivated over a long period of time, was like a small boat in a storm.
It seems that I could be overwhelmed by these negative emotions and resentment at any moment!
...
However, the Buddha was ultimately no ordinary being.
After so many years of cultivation, his willpower and Dao heart are incredibly strong.
Even though the resentment in his heart about the hopelessness of becoming a saint was enormous.
However, the Buddha's emotions did not remain uncontrolled for long.
After a while, the Buddha regained his senses and began to quickly suppress his negative emotions!
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, the Buddha's heart, which was being constantly attacked by negative emotions and resentment, burst forth with boundless Buddha light!
Accompanied by the brilliant Buddha light, it seemed as if billions of Buddhas were chanting scriptures all around, and the phantom images of Buddhas appeared all around.
Amidst the radiant light of Buddha and the chanting of numerous Buddhas.
The negative emotions and resentment in the Buddha's heart, as deep as the ocean, vanished as quickly as snow meeting the morning sun!
...
After a while...
The negative emotions and resentment in the Buddha's heart were finally eliminated.
"call......"
The Buddha breathed a sigh of relief: "That was close! I almost lost my resolve and fell into the demonic path!"
At this moment, the Buddha felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a calamity.
However, the Buddha believed that he had survived this crisis of falling into demonic possession.
But in reality, he got through it, yet he didn't completely get through it.
Because, amidst the onslaught of negative emotions and resentment, the Buddha's compassionate heart was not entirely unaffected.
A trace of negative emotion has already seeped into the Buddha's heart.
However, the number of negative emotions is very small.
Moreover, the Buddha was so engrossed in the Buddhist sect's grand plan to travel to the West and the Flower and Fruit Mountain that he failed to notice the subtle negative emotions seeping into his heart.
...
Eight Views Palace.
Laozi knew Jin Ning was powerful, but he never imagined that Jin Ning was this powerful!
With a simple gesture, he neutralized the attack of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
Even more so, Jin Ning, who stole the Jade Ruyi, one of the Three Treasures of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
Lao Tzu's white brows furrowed tightly:
"She's...that powerful?!"
With Lao Tzu's knowledge and vision, he knew very well how incredible it was to achieve what Jin Ning had just done.
That means that Jin Ning's strength completely surpasses that of Yuanshi Tianzun!
Although the battle between Yuanshi Tianzun and Jin Ning has only just begun.
Although the Primordial Celestial Venerable has not yet unleashed his most powerful treasure, the Pangu Banner, a primordial treasure renowned for its unparalleled offensive power!
However, the outcome of this battle was already predetermined.
