"Where was my suchness?"
Buddha Mother Zhunti had felt as though he was about to soar into the sky, only to crash down the next instant. His heart felt utterly empty.
Buddha Mother Zhunti was, after all, an expert at the Dao Integration level.
He immediately released his Karma Sarira.
Karmic threads intertwined.
Tracing causes and pursuing effects.
At last, he discovered when something had gone wrong.
There had been an exceedingly unnatural instant when he thought about Shakyamuni Tathagata and Patriarch Bodhi.
"So that was when the problem arose."
"Zhou Qingqing had Shakyamuni Tathagata and Patriarch Bodhi ready to intercept me at that very moment?"
"Could she really do that?"
Though he phrased it as a question, she had in fact already done it.
Buddha Mother Zhunti truly had nothing to say now.
"..."
So while he had been absent, Zhou Qingqing had toyed with his junior brother again.
And over something so important, his junior brother had not told him sooner.
Now that he had lost the true nature he had painstakingly gathered, his heart ached terribly.
This power could certainly be gathered again, but it would inevitably cost him more time.
"I'm afraid Zhou Qingqing will use this power to create the Great Dao of Truth ahead of time. That would be troublesome."
Dream World.
Amitabha Buddha pressed his palms together.
"I understand your concern, Junior Brother. But her creating the Great Dao of Truth is only theoretically possible. Even if she intends to create it, the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerates likely will not permit it."
"You needn't worry too much about that."
Oh.
Amitabha Buddha could actually say a few nice things for once.
Who would care about your Great Dao of Truth? At most, this bit of suchness would become material for my ascension.
