Maitreya Buddha was stunned when he heard Uchiha Shin's words.
Puppet Technique?
Are you kidding?
The Buddhist Sect's Puppet Technique was a profound secret art. Very few people in the Three Realms knew it, and all of them were members of the Buddhist Sect.
Only the Buddhist Sect itself could cultivate such a Puppet Technique. Outsiders were forbidden from learning it.
Even members of the Buddhist Sect were not necessarily qualified to cultivate it. Only suitable candidates could do so.
"Mystic Spirit King, we cannot meet that condition," Maitreya Buddha said.
"Why not? Don't you people of the Buddhist Sect know the Puppet Technique?"
"Our Buddhist Sect does know the Puppet Technique, but it cannot be passed on casually. Take Golden Cicada and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, for example. Their status in the Buddhist Sect was extremely high, yet even they were not qualified to cultivate the Puppet Technique. So I ask that the Mystic Spirit King choose another condition," Maitreya Buddha said to Uchiha Shin.
"Is it truly impossible? If you refuse, then I can only terminate these peace talks," Uchiha Shin said as he looked at Maitreya Buddha.
"If the Mystic Spirit King truly wishes to do so, then we can only agree to end them."
Maitreya Buddha's gaze was resolute.
"The Puppet Technique is of great importance. At times, even the Buddhas of the Buddhist Sect cannot casually learn or use it. If the Mystic Spirit King insists on this, then our Buddhist Sect can only prepare to fight you until both sides are crippled."
Judging from Maitreya Buddha's tone, their Puppet Technique truly could not be taught to outsiders so casually.
"Fine, then I'll change my condition."
Uchiha Shin had originally wanted to learn the Puppet Technique to see whether there was a way to help Goku remove
