Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1846 - Expel Lingshan

No one had expected that the Water Heaven Buddha would dare to rebuke Tathagata in such a way. When they heard such blunt words, they revealed incredulous expressions.

Even his close friend who had spoken up for him was shocked, thinking, 'Do you have a death wish?'

Knowing everything, Tathagata remained calm. He said indifferently, "Since that's the case, then you should leave Mount Sumeru."

Taking this opportunity, Tathagata finally said these words smoothly.

Leaving Mount Sumeru meant leaving the Buddhist faith, which was an extremely severe punishment for a Buddhist disciple.

Therefore, as soon as these words were spoken, a Buddha immediately said, "Please reconsider, Buddha."

Not only him, but all the other Buddhas also spoke up, "Please reconsider, Buddha."

Seeing the Buddhas trying to stop him, Tathagata was stunned, and the Water Heaven Buddha was even more surprised. He thought, 'It's not like you're the ones being expelled, why are you making such a big deal out of it? When did I become so popular?'

What he didn't know was that these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with deep thoughts understood the principle of 'the rabbit dies, the fox grieves.' They knew that there had never been a case of expulsion from Mount Sumeru in the entire Buddhist faith. Even the Future Buddha Maitreya had only left Mount Sumeru because he had become a demon.

Therefore, they didn't want to set a precedent for a mistake, and this mistake was obviously a bit minor.

"Buddha, the Water Heaven Buddha has made great contributions to our Buddhist faith. Today, he is influenced by his emotions, please understand."

"Buddha, although the Water Heaven Buddha has made a mistake, it does not warrant such a punishment. Please withdraw your decree."

"Please withdraw your decree, Buddha."

… …

The Buddhas spoke one after another, trying to stop Tathagata.

Tathagata remained silent. Seeing this, the Water Heaven Buddha decided to go all-in. He immediately roared, "Tathagata, are you going to expel me from Mount Sumeru just because I don't respect you? On what basis? Are you just taking revenge for personal grudges?"

Hearing the Water Heaven Buddha directly call out the Buddha's name, the Buddhas were all shocked.

Even Tathagata's expression changed slightly. Although he knew this was acting, he still couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he heard it. He pretended to be angry and said, "Water Heaven Buddha, what are you saying?"

"What? I'm just telling the truth," the Water Heaven Buddha said loudly.

"Bold! From today onwards, you are no longer a disciple of my Buddhist faith," Tathagata said sharply.

In the next second, he raised his right hand, and a vast Buddhist intent burst out.

Golden light shone brightly, and endless power swirled and condensed within it, then transformed into a violent storm, whistling out with irresistible force.

The Water Heaven Buddha wanted to resist, but in the face of the tidal wave of Buddhist intent, he could only be scattered and fly directly away from the Great Thunderclap Temple.

This was because Tathagata had not used his full power, otherwise the Water Heaven Buddha would have been directly severely injured.

The Buddhas still wanted to say something, but seeing this, they were helpless.

After the Water Heaven Buddha was expelled, a Buddha asked suspiciously, "Buddha, is it possible that the Water Heaven Buddha has become a demon because he suddenly acted like this?"

"He has no缘 with my Buddhist faith, there is no need to say more," Tathagata said, and then left directly.

On the other side, after leaving Mount Sumeru, the Water Heaven Buddha pretended to head west.

Before long, he was stopped by the Hundred Rivers Buddha.

"I didn't expect the Water Heaven Buddha to be so bold," the Hundred Rivers Buddha stared at the Water Heaven Buddha with a smile on his face.

"Are you here to see me make a fool of myself?" The Water Heaven Buddha's face was frosty.

"Of course not, I'm just curious," the Hundred Rivers Buddha said indifferently.

Obviously, the Hundred Rivers Buddha still held a trace of suspicion about this sudden event.

The Water Heaven Buddha seemed impatient: "Curious about what? Hundreds of years ago, I was dissatisfied with that old guy Tathagata. I'm just taking this opportunity to explode."

After speaking, he turned to leave.

"Wait a moment, where are you going, Water Heaven Buddha?" the Hundred Rivers Buddha asked.

"The world is vast, I want to find my own path," the Water Heaven Buddha said pretentiously.

"Water Heaven Buddha, I have a place to go, I wonder if you are willing?" the Hundred Rivers Buddha said.

"If you're talking about the Avici Hell, I think I'll pass," the Water Heaven Buddha refused directly.

… …

Tathagata and the Water Heaven Buddha's plan was still in progress, and Chu Hao's vacation excuse was almost used up, so he returned to the Demon Subjugation Army.

On the Buddhist side, the Treasure Light Buddha obviously didn't know that Chu Hao had taken a vacation during this time. If he knew, he would probably collapse inwardly.

However, after the previous incident, he realized that although the Demon Subjugation Army was powerful, it could easily fall into the Demon Clan's trap if they were defeated one by one.

The seemingly peaceful Avici Hell was obviously not as simple as imagined.

Therefore, he didn't dare to say anything about continuing to move forward, and planned to let Chu Hao take the lead. Even if something happened, he wouldn't have to take the blame.

After Chu Hao returned, he put away the palace and led the Demon Subjugation Army to continue moving forward.

Before long, he saw the Small Thunderclap Temple on the outskirts of Avici Hell.

The demonic energy-filled world was shining with golden light because of the arrival of the Demon Subjugation Army. The rich light illuminated the sky, diluting the thick demonic energy a lot.

Although these gods and Buddhas did not take action, their own spiritual power formed an incomparably powerful and holy aura that affected the entire army.

The mighty army surged out of the clouds like a tide, dispelling the darkness and bringing light.

Chu Hao held the Godslaying Spear and stood proudly in front of the army, looking indifferently at the Small Thunderclap Temple.

"Lord Prison God, if you want to enter Avici Hell, you have to pull out that Small Thunderclap Temple first," the Treasure Light Buddha whispered beside him.

Mount Sumeru had long wanted to remove this thorn in its side.

"That's right," Chu Hao nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless Buddhist lights suddenly projected from within the Small Thunderclap Temple. The Buddhist lights were impassioned, stirring up a vast Buddhist intent, and Buddhas and Arhats appeared in the field.

It was the Buddhist disciples who had previously fallen into the Demonic Path.

Seeing these acquaintances, the Buddhist camp revealed a trace of pity. In the end, they still cared about these fellow disciples and couldn't bear to see them fall into the Demonic Path.

"Hahaha, it seems that this time the lineup is a bit big,"

At this time, a hearty laugh appeared, and Maitreya Buddha appeared on the opposite side.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Demon Subjugation Army, this Future Buddha Maitreya did not show the slightest fear, but his smile remained the same, not caring at all.

"Maitreya Buddha, it's one thing for you to fall into the Demonic Path, but you even want to drag my Buddhist disciples into the Demon Clan, it's simply audacious," the Treasure Light Buddha stared at Maitreya Buddha and scolded him angrily.

"They weren't dragged in by me, but volunteered," Maitreya Buddha said indifferently.

"Nonsense," the Treasure Light Buddha's face was frosty.

In his eyes, Maitreya Buddha was already an evil and unscrupulous demon.
