The Western Teachings' Disciples Felt Like the Sky Had Fallen-Daoist Duobao as Their Leader?

"Hahahahahaha..."

Daoist Zhunti suddenly broke off his sermon and laughed aloud.

At this sight,

the Personal Disciples listening to him were utterly baffled.

"Teacher, what has made you so happy?"

"Yes! Could something wonderful have happened? Teacher, why not share it with us?"

"If Teacher puts it that way, there must be good news to share. Has the time come for the Western Lands to flourish?"

"I remember Teacher saying the West would flourish after this matter was over. Could today be the day the Buddhist Sect rises to greatness?"

"Hahahahaha! We've helped the Mystic Gate so much. It's only right that we flourish..."

The Registered Disciples present asked eagerly, their curiosity plain.

Daoist Zhunti's smile stiffened for a moment, leaving him rather embarrassed. But he quickly recovered and said with a chuckle, "Hahahaha! You're not far off. Though the time for the Western Flourishing has not yet arrived, this step is a sign of it!"

"Come. Follow me to welcome an honored guest!"

With that,

the Two Shakya rose and walked ahead at an unhurried pace.

"Welcome an honored guest?"

Maitreya, Akasagarbha, and the other disciples were perplexed, but they quickly followed.

They, too, were curious what their teacher had meant.

Before long,

the Two Shakya led a vast crowd of Western Teachings disciples outside, a dark sea of people stretching into the distance.

the Two Shakya stood there smiling and waited in silence.

How strange.

With such a grand reception, who could possibly warrant this kind of ceremony from the Western Teachings?

Could they be waiting for the Dao Ancestor?
