"Reincarnation Seal!" Meng Qi, who was locked in fierce battle with Dingguang Ancient Buddha, blurted out. "The Demon Buddha actually lent you the Reincarnation Seal."
Dipankara Ancient Buddha smiled faintly, returning to his earlier air of having everything under control. "With an Other Shore Divine Weapon in hand, Donor Su and Fellow Daoist Cheng Tang should stop struggling."
Meng Qi recovered from his shock and smiled slightly. "Not necessarily."
"Oh? What other contingency did that Sacred Emperor prepare for you?" Dipankara Ancient Buddha asked.
At that moment, a calm and gentle voice came from afar. "This humble monk, Wutian, pays respects to Dipankara Ancient Buddha."
At the sight of that familiar blazing white light, Dipankara Ancient Buddha instinctively wanted to flee. "Supreme True Buddha! You actually brought this monster here!"
Wutian sighed in disappointment. "No self, no person, no living being, no lifespan. Ancient Buddha, you are attached to appearances."
Dipankara Ancient Buddha halted his retreat, but his heart grew ever more incredulous. "What did the Sacred Emperor do to him? How did he make that sort of monster attain enlightenment?"
In truth, Meng Qi was equally astonished.
He had encountered the Supreme True Buddha before and knew of the Supreme True Buddha's pathological craving for Buddhas. Yet upon seeing Dipankara Ancient Buddha this time, the Supreme True Buddha had behaved remarkably normally.
Wutian pressed his palms together. "At His Majesty's request, this humble monk has come to ask Dipankara Ancient Buddha to remain here for several days."
Dipankara Ancient Buddha said gravely, "And if I refuse?"
Wutian let out a long sigh. "Then this humble monk can only ask the Ancient Buddha to enter nirvana."
Dipankara's eye twitched slightly. So it really is a fiend at heart.
"Since that is the case, I can only call for another helper."
