Chapter 2566: A Small Character

Meanwhile, on the Western Lingshan, Rulai slightly opened his eyes, a faint smile on his face.

Rulai said, "Randeng, Maitreya, how do you view this Kalpa Tribulation?"

The Ancient Buddha Randeng looked at Rulai, a flash of thought in his eyes, and said, "Rulai, don't you think this Kalpa Tribulation is indeed too difficult for Sun Wukong alone?"

Rulai frowned slightly and said, "Difficult? Which past Kalpa Tribulation wasn't difficult? I want to see how much ability this monkey really has."

Maitreya, as if sitting in a lotus flower, did not rush to speak. He just pinched his fingers in a lotus gesture, calculated, and said, "The Kalpa Tribulation has changed."

Rulai immediately looked at Maitreya and said, "Where has it changed?"

Maitreya remained full of smiles and said, "Cannot be said."

"Besides, hasn't it changed long ago? Rulai, haven't you noticed? Your plan was originally that Wukong would go to find the Buddha of the East and then come to find me; you should know this, right?"

"However, who would have expected a Rhinoceros Beetle to pop up here?"

Rulai heard this, chuckled, and said, "This is irrelevant; it will not affect the outcome at all. This Rhinoceros Beetle is just a small character."

"Indeed a small character, just as you have never taken Sun Wukong's life or death to heart."

Maitreya, with a smile on his face, looked at Rulai and said very calmly.

"Heh, Maitreya, what do you mean?"

"Since I have the intention to recruit Sun Wukong to become a Buddha, would I not care about his life or death?"

Rulai looked at Maitreya with anger in his eyes and said.

"I heard a story: an eagle gives birth to a nest of eaglets. When their feathers are full and they start to fly, the eagle makes all the eaglets fly down from a high cliff."

When Maitreya said this, his expression remained calm, looking up slightly at Rulai.

"What on earth are you rambling about?"

Rulai was clearly enraged, looking at Maitreya.

"Rulai, since I have said this in front of all the Buddhas, I will finish it."

"Some of those eaglets complete their flight the first time and can soar in the sky from then on, while others cannot do it and fall into the abyss."

"In your eyes, Sun Wukong is just a small eaglet. You set a Kalpa Tribulation of such difficulty; if he survives, he will surely be reborn, and if he cannot, he will be reduced to ashes. Am I right?"

Maitreya, with a smile on his face, looked up at Rulai.

Maitreya's words also caused all the Buddhas of the West to look at Rulai at this moment.

It seemed that no one had realized the difference in this Kalpa Tribulation, because this Yellow-Browed Old Monster was no weaker than Sun Wukong in cultivation and possessed many powerful magic treasures.

Rulai tightened his face, his gaze fixed on Maitreya.

He did not know how many times he had wanted to replace this Future Venerable, who always gave him no face in front of all the Buddhas.

And this Maitreya, for some reason, was not afraid of him at all and always exposed his shortcomings.

"I am merely tempering Sun Wukong, just like when Sun Wukong was in the Eight-Trigrams Furnace, enduring the Dan Yang Fire for forty-nine days to forge his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze."

Rulai quickly calmed his emotions, knowing that all the Buddhas were watching him, and said immediately.

Maitreya smiled slightly and stopped speaking, instead lying back, his entire body submerged in the lotus flower.

And Rulai, looking at the spiritual sense image below, suddenly frowned. ===== CHAPTER 2568 =====
