Aiming to Convert the Buddhas of the West and Establish Buddhism

The Interception Sect leads to the void of the West.

A bald, kind-faced Daoist priest wearing a yellow robe.

He was sitting cross-legged on the futon.

Its form transformed into yellow light.

It continued to fly away into the distance.

The speed was incredibly fast.

It has completely surpassed the realm of the Peak Quasi-Saint.

Although it is still far from the realm of Sage.

But this world is already enough to crush all living beings.

However, in a short while...

Duobao then arrived at the edge of the Western Region.

Looking at the western land forged from mountains of gold and silver, bathed in golden light.

The Buddhist aura, flying everywhere, surged and rippled in all directions.

Looking from afar.

It was a place filled with peace and tranquility.

And in that extremely luxurious setting.

There is a mountain range that appears dilapidated, yet contains pure spiritual energy.

Standing in the center of the western territory.

It is the Western Ancestral Vein, Mount Sumeru!

Back then, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Demon Ancestor Luohu fought a great battle.

Mount Sumeru was thus shattered.

The Western Ancestral Vein have been destroyed.

This led to the West gradually falling into poverty.

The Two Sages of the West were thus forced to travel east and west.

All for the sake of creating a favorable situation for the West.

Duobao took in all of this.

His eyes gleamed with a profound Buddhist aura.

A mysterious and profound expression also faintly appeared on his body.

Within one's soul, there seemed to be chanting sacred sounds.

A visible halo of Buddhist aura gradually emerged behind him.

The halo stopped behind Duobao.

Mysterious and profound runes and Daoist characters floated above it.

It emitted an extremely blinding light.

Once it appears.

It illuminated the entire space in gold.

Although the Western world is overflowing with gold and silver.

It can also emit light.

However, when Duobao appeared in the void of the Western Realm.

The light it emitted was just like the bright moon.

The light in the western region was like fireflies.

The two are completely incomparable.

The aura it exudes is far beyond what ordinary things can compare to.

How dare fireflies rival the brilliance of the bright moon!

And then there was the appearance of Duobao.

The resulting phenomena were far too astonishing.

His Buddha-nature instantly permeated the entire void.

All the Western beings present.

They all stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

In their respective gazes.

A look of astonishment flickered across his face!

Who is that!?

"He actually has a Buddhist halo on his body!?"

"The Buddhist influence is so strong, could it be the work of Patriarchs Jieyin and Zhunti!?"

"My God!"

Who exactly is this person?!

"Possessing so much Buddha-nature, one must be a highly accomplished Buddhist practitioner!"

"Judging from the Buddhist power emanating from him, it seems he's comparable to our grandmaster!"

All Western monks.

Monks and nuns practicing on Mount Sumeru, direct disciples, second-generation and third-generation disciples of the Western Teachings.

They all stared in shock and astonishment at the Daoist Duobao sitting cross-legged in the void.

Their eyes held a mixture of astonishment, admiration, and suspicion.

And just when they each had their own opinions.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Then, Duobao, who was sitting cross-legged in the void, slowly spoke.

"Daoist Duobao, the chief disciple of the Jie Interception Sect."

"Today I have attained Buddhahood."

"I proclaim myself: Duobao Tathagata, and from this day forward, in heaven and on earth, I alone am the most honored, and I hold the reins of all the wondrous and abundant Bodhi of all Buddhas in the present age!"

"To preach the Buddha's teachings on Mount Sumeru!"

"And I founded Mahayana Buddhism, and I am known Buddha Ancestor Duobao Tathagata!"

"Those who are destined to come may come before me and listen to my teachings on Buddhism."

As Duobao finished speaking...

All the living beings present widened their eyes in astonishment.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Duobao.

A look of surprise flashed across their faces!

"He's Duobao!?"

"The chief disciple of the Eastern Saint Tongtian's sect? Daoist Duobao?!"

"Wasn't he a disciple of the East? A Daoist cultivator, why would he switch to Buddhism?!"

"And what an arrogant tone he has, daring to say that he is the only one who matters in heaven and earth!?"

"And he's preaching Buddhism and Daoism under my Western tutelage!?"

"Calling himself Buddha? That's utterly outrageous!"

"Our Western Teachings is the orthodox school of Buddhism, and moreover, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. How can we allow an Interception Sect cultivator from the Jie Sect to disturb our peaceful cultivation and belittle us?!"

"With the two leaders absent, we must step forward and stop Duobao!"

"Otherwise, where would we, the Western Teachings, put our face?!"

Upon hearing this...

Some Western Teachings disciples were nearby.

A solemn expression flashed across their faces.

"Yes!"

"Walk!"

Go and stop him!

Many sounds faded away.

On Mount Sumeru, the Western Ancestral Vein.

Suddenly, three beams of light burst forth.

The light formed a multicolored halo.

It unleashed a tremendous spectacle.

Countless forces also rose and fell with it.

As the light shone brightly.

Three figures then soared into the sky.

The light surrounding them slowly faded.

Three bald monks wearing yellow robes were revealed.

They tread on nothingness.

His robes trembled.

Even more, the sunset glow shimmered.

The three of them also appeared unusually mysterious.

They looked at Duobao across the distance.

Even if they are separated by hundreds of millions of miles.

The forces released by both.

They are also in a standoff.

But.

Because the West is extremely barren.

These are the three Western Teachings disciples in front of me.

Their strength is not as great as imagined.

The three of them stood together.

Indistinctly.

Only then could they barely withstand the power released by Duobao.

This shows that...

The three of them were at most at the peak of the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal.

Even if he has the strength of Quasi-Saint.

It's also possible that they are only at the Early-Stage Quasi-Saint realm.

It couldn't be the Peak Quasi-Saint.

After taking all of this into view.

Duobao already understood.

"I am the chief disciple of the Interception Sect, Daoist Duobao, Buddhist name: Duobao Tathagata."

"What brings you three fellow Daoists forward?"

"Do you want to hear this humble Daoist priest preach?"

Upon hearing this...

The three Western Teachings disciples standing opposite Duobao had cold and stern expressions.

But.

Judging from their expressions alone, it's not clear what's going on.

Duobao now admitted to account theft.

The etiquette was impeccable.

They should reciprocate.

In.

The one standing at the head of the group appeared to be older, and his aura was stronger than that of the two Western disciples beside him.

Clearly, he is the most senior among them.

It should also be the most powerful of the Western Teachings.

But.

Duobao had never been to the West.

None of the disciples in the West had ever been to the East.

Only the Two Sages of the West Sage frequently traveled eastward.

Therefore, Duobao felt completely unfamiliar with these three people.

"This humble Fazhu!"

"The Western Paradise World awaits, to Saint Jieyin!"

"These two beside me are Tianzhu and Dizhu! They are the last disciples of my Zhunti!"

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

Before the end of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

The Earth Immortal Realm was never established.

So.

At this time, the Western Teachings had not yet changed its name to Buddhism.

Therefore, disciples within Western Teachings.

Most of them also refer to themselves as Mystic Gate).

I have not changed my title to "poor monk"!

I heard that they at least knew some manners.

Duobao nodded with a friendly expression.

"The two of you in my temple are of exceptionally high character, and your cultivation and talent are also extraordinary."

"Compared to the Buddhist followers in the West, they are far superior."

"Within the primordial spirit, a spiritual root naturally emerges."

"What do you three think of joining my Eastern Interception Sect?!"

"The Eastern Interception Sect is now a top-tier sect in the East, and it is also a disciple of Sage."

"Now that the Chan Sect is in decline, the Interception Sect is experiencing astonishing fortune. If the three of you could join their cultivation, you would surely be able to reach the peak of the Peak Quasi-Saint!"

When Fazhu heard that Duobao was clearly using a polite expression.

He actually said something about poaching someone's talent.

This almost made Fazhu's eyes roll back in his head.

He immediately started swearing!

However, this kind of behavior will only lower your own value.

He forced a deep breath to calm himself down.

Then a cold, sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He said calmly.

"Duobao Daoist Duobao, I have been cultivating in the West since childhood."

"It has close ties with the West."

"Moreover, even though we are all disciples of Sage and belong to the Mystic Gate)..."

"But Buddhism and Daoism are different; they are not the same thing."

"Therefore, I thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."

"If this is the very reason you've come, then please forgive us for not keeping you company."

"Please return to where you came from, fellow Daoist."

Fazhu refused outright.

And.

They've started chasing people away.

Pity.

Since Duobao has chosen to come here.

Of course, it's not something that can be easily dismissed.

He smiled amicably at the three of them, including Fazhu.

His eyes shone with an astonishing Buddhist aura.

The Dao Wheel behind him rotated slightly.

He was also enveloped in a golden light.

In an instant, it appeared radiant and natural.

It possesses a sacred and inviolable aura.

"Since the three of you are unwilling to join the Interception Sect..."

"It's because Buddhism and Daoism are different."

"Then why not just join the Buddhism I just founded?"

"I also practice Buddhism, although my practice differs somewhat from yours, it is still rooted in the Buddhist tradition."

"Under my tutelage, your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

Fazhu: "..."

"Fellow Daoist, are you really determined to persist in this entanglement?"

"You, a disciple of the Daoist Mystic Gate sect, are not focusing on diligently cultivating the Tao."

"He actually deviated from the orthodox teachings and switched to practicing Western Buddhism."

"This is something that Heavenly Dao itself cannot tolerate."

"Even if Buddhism were established in this way, how could it compare to Western Teachings?"

"Since its founding, Western Teachings has made continuous progress in its study of Buddhism."

"Now it has reached an unfathomable level; all those who cultivate Buddhism will not enter hell, nor will they be subject to reincarnation."

"Buddha can save him."

"Isn't it much better than you, a beginner who has just switched from Daoist to Buddhist practice?"

Upon hearing this...

Duobao simply smiled faintly.

"What you say is correct, fellow Daoist."

"Western Teachings have always been studying Buddhism."

"But I am a latecomer to this path."

"In terms of seniority and experience, I am indeed inferior to you all."

"However, the reason I recently founded Buddhism is to come to the Western Teachings and guide all of you who practice Buddhism."

"It's not arrogance."

"It's redemption!"

Seeing that Duobao was stubborn and unyielding, Fazhu couldn't help but shout angrily.

"You've only practiced Buddhism for a few years? How dare you claim it's salvation for us!"

Duobao retorted, "Cultivate Buddhism? Cultivating Daoism is enough for me."

"The demon is the Tao, the Tao originates from the Tao, and all things and laws originate from the Tao."

Therefore, Buddha is originally the Tao.

"So-called Buddhism is nothing more than Daoism, just expressed in a different form!"

"Having cultivated the Tao for countless years, I suddenly attained enlightenment in Buddhism. The Tao I cultivated before has been integrated into it, and I see no error in it!"

Upon hearing this...

The three disciples of the Western Teachings Sage, Fazhu, Tianzhu, Dizhu, widened their eyes in astonishment.

In their respective gazes.

A look of surprise flashed across his face!

Buddha Is the Dao?

Buddha Is the Dao!?

This statement.

This is the first time I've ever heard of this!

Fazhu wanted to refute this.

But the moment he heard Duobao say those words...

In the darkness.

It seemed to possess the power of a law.

It spread continuously from within his body.

It actually gave him a sense of enlightenment!

As if.

Duobao said, "Buddha Is the Dao."

It is a proverb!

In this world where everyone claims to practice Mystic Gate Daoism.

The idea that Buddha Is the Dao.

It was nothing short of creating the world!

Only.

The monks of Dharma Fazhu, Dizhu, Tianzhu, and all the western lands.

While in a state of complete confusion.

Duobao's voice came again.

But this time...

Duobao's words also resonated with all the Western beings present.

I was shocked!

"Therefore, I have attained enlightenment of the Great Accomplishment Buddhist Dharma!"

"Yet you all have been clinging to Hinayana Buddhist Dharma, failing to see the true Buddha, and wasting your time in your practice!"

"But they will never become Buddhas!"

"I came here because I saw how pitiful you Western Teachings practitioners are."

"What's wrong with coming to redeem someone?!"

Upon hearing this,

The entire West was immediately thrown into a state of turmoil!
