Chapter 587: Four Seven Eight: Coercing the Buddha_3

This is a chance for the Buddha to lend his weight, a chance for him to fight for development and gain a certain level of influence upon the Spiritual Mountain.

Can the Buddhas of the Spiritual Mountain not tolerate me?

This is necessary for the Buddha to severely punish those Buddhas who wished to act against Jiang Chen. At the same time, this is a way to force the Buddha to clarify his position, to stand side by side with Jiang Chen in the upcoming Buddha Purification Action, and fully support his actions.

The Great Virtuous King Buddha, also known as the Buddha of Sins and Precepts, and the Buddha of Killing, not only shelters all beings, but also has the responsibility to cleanse the Buddhist door and maintain its precepts.

The so-called Buddha Purification Action is to purify the Buddhist door, and expel anyone who commits misdeeds and violates the precepts of the Buddhist door.

Severe offenders will be directly suppressed and locked up in Buddha Hell. If it is even more severe, they will be directly executed to establish Buddha’s authority.

Don’t even think about it — despite being incredibly beneficial to the Buddhist door and able to transform its image in the eyes of all beings, implementing this action still faces formidable resistance.

The Buddhas of the Spiritual Mountain will not support this action; they might even obstruct it in every possible way, preventing the Buddha Purification Action from taking shape.

Jiang Chen alone, without any foundation in the Spiritual Mountain, would definitely not be a match for the Buddhas of the Spiritual Mountain. Hence, promoting the Buddha Purification Action is simply impossible.

Therefore, he needs a helper, a powerful helper. And there is no better choice than the Buddha. The Buddha is the leader among the Buddhist door, and possesses the highest prestige and strongest power.

Having him shoulder the burden (scratch that out)

With him supporting from behind, there will be nothing that Jiang Chen cannot accomplish within the Buddhist door. Promoting the Buddha Purification Action would be a piece of cake.

Jiang Chen has not forgotten his plans till this day.

The West Journey was established by the Heavenly Dao, it counts as a trend. It is unavoidable, even for saints, let alone Jiang Chen. For this reason, Jiang Chen cannot stop it.

Since it is unstoppable, why not consider it from a different perspective? If you can’t change the source of things, then start from the outcome.

According to Jiang Chen’s plan, he wants to become a Buddha, spreading his teachings throughout the West, becoming the mainstream of the Buddhist door. Then, when the pilgrims come to the Spiritual Mountain to obtain the scriptures, what they will get will be his classics, his teachings.

In this way, what will be passed back to the Human Race will be his classics and teachings. In this way, he can control everything within his control.

Jiang Chen’s plan is indeed good, but it is extremely difficult to implement. The first step, turning into a Buddha, he was able to accomplish it, and accomplished it very perfectly.

However, the second step, which was to spread teachings, did not produce results for a long time. The reason being that Jiang Chen’s teachings were suppressed in the West, rejected by the Buddhas of the Spiritual Mountain, and considered heretical.

This is only to be expected, after all, among the teachings Jiang Chen spreads, there is one that advocates killing demons which are blamed for turbulences in the world and other demons that harm creatures.

Well, in the Xiniuhe Continent, the stronghold of demons, if you say that you want to exterminate all the demons, who will they reject if not you?

At least suppression is a lesser evil, be grateful that they didn’t annihilate you entirely.

The Buddhas of the Spiritual Mountain, which one of them does not have a large number of demons they breed?

Forcing them to completely eradicate the demons under their control would undoubtedly harm their interests. Therefore, what would make them agree to Jiang Chen’s teachings, they naturally view them as heresy, as ludicrous tales.

If the Xiniuhe Continent was without demons, the suffering that beings would have to experience would reduce by ninety percent. To the Buddhas of Spiritual Mountain, this would be a matter of great concern.

If beings are free of suffering, who will still have faith in him?

The more beings suffer, the more suffering they endure, the more they need a spiritual reliance, and their faith in Buddha will be more devout.

Especially, this Buddha will occasionally reveal themselves, save them, drive demons away, and rescue them from their suffering. This undoubtedly makes beings more devout in their faith of Buddha.

It must be said that the Buddhist door really understands the inner thoughts of its believers, only they did not apply it to the right path.

Being the Buddha of precepts, Jiang Chen naturally felt heavy pressure from this. Well, beings have faith in you so that you can redeem them, guide them to transcend their suffering, to achieve liberation.

But what about you? You are afraid that beings will find liberation. Seeing that beings have no difficulties, you simply bred a batch of demons to create suffering for beings.

How despicable!

Buddhas like this should die. This is the meaning of the Great Virtuous King Buddha’s birth.

Beings are sunk in difficulty and can’t break free, they are suffering day and night from the harm of demons, so they urgently hope that a great existence could be born to help them kill the demons and lead them out of suffering.

Every wish is answered!

Therefore, the Great Virtuous King Buddha was born. He took on the wishes of all beings, killed all demons, eliminated all troubles, broke through all suffering, and led all beings to attain liberation.

The Great Virtuous King Buddha is the Sin Buddha, the Questioning Buddha, and represents beings questioning Buddha for their sins. He, on behalf of all beings, questions those high above in the Spiritual Mountains. Why do they ignore the suffering of the beings below?

Such a Buddha, his teachings, will inevitably come into conflict with the Buddhas of Spiritual Mountain. Therefore, how could the Buddhas tolerate him, and could they afford to?

Originally, according to Jiang Chen’s initial plan, he planned to wait until his practice was accomplished and then use his strong power to convince the Buddhas of the Spiritual Mountain, before spreading his teachings.

But now, because of the need to suppress Sun Wukong, Jiang Chen has obtained bargaining chips to negotiate with the Buddha.

He can use Sun Wukong in his hands to pressure the Buddha and force him to stand on his side.

Jiang Chen is not afraid that the Buddha will disagree, because for the smooth progress of the West Journey, as long as it does not hurt the core of the Buddhist door, the Buddha will agree.

And Jiang Chen’s request will not only not harm the foundation of the Buddhist door but also give the Buddhist door a new look. Therefore, the Buddha did not hesitate much and directly agreed to Jiang Chen’s request.

With the help of the Buddha, Jiang Chen’s line is bound to flourish in the West.

By then, when he initiates the Buddha Purification Action and makes it a big deal, as long as he can achieve a little, he can expand his influence in the Buddhist door.
