When Dipamkara Buddha declared his intention to head to the Wizard Civilization Battlefield, the several thousand Buddhas and Bodhisattvas within the Great Thunderclap Temple wore expressions of surprise, understanding, approval, and indifference.
Dipamkara Buddha held an extremely high position within the Buddhism Sect.
He even stood half a head above the Tathagata Buddha before him.
As early as the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, hundreds of thousands of years ago in the Immortal Domain Civilization, Dipamkara Buddha had been the vice pope of the Buddhism Sect's predecessor, the "Western Sect." Below only the two founding Sages, Jieyin and Zunti, he had been a renowned top-tier expert of the Prehistoric World.
After it was renamed the Buddhism Sect, Dipamkara Buddha had also become the Buddhism Sect's illustrious "Past Buddha," while Tathagata Buddha was the "Present Buddha."
In terms of treasures, Dipamkara Buddha could likewise be called immensely wealthy.
The Golden Bowl, Cosmos Ruler, Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, Glass Lamp, 108 Prayer Beads... these were merely the equipment Dipamkara Buddha had displayed openly. No one knew what other treasures this famous Buddhist cultivator of the Immortal Domain possessed, a man of immensely profound foundations who had even attended the ancient teachings at Purple Cloud Palace.
Great strength, a vast number of treasures, prestige sufficient to win universal respect, and profound foundations—after Dipamkara Buddha volunteered for battle, not a single other Buddhist cultivator present could offer an objection or propose a replacement.
Guanyin Bodhisattva's jade foot, which had originally stepped off the white lotus platform, withdrew once more.
Indeed, in terms of seniority, even Tathagata Buddha stood a little below Dipamkara Buddha.
Although Tathagata Buddha's current strength, prestige, and depth of Buddhist Dharma were no less than Dipamkara Buddha's, there was no need for him to contend with the latter over such a matter.
