Chapter 512
"Hmph, I have nothing to say to you, bald donkey!"
Sun Wukong was not someone who could keep his cool, so as soon as Duobao Daoren finished this sentence, Sun Wukong prepared to drive him out.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, Duobao Daoren revealed key information.
"Great Sage, asking you all to go on the Journey to the West this time is not to obtain scriptures, but to exterminate the Western Buddhist Sect!"
Hearing this, Sun Wukong, who had already swung his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, stopped abruptly.
"What do you mean by that?"
Sun Wukong naturally had no affection for the Journey to the West, but if the Journey to the West was about exterminating the Buddha, then Sun Wukong had great interest.
Because of the existence of *Wukong Biography* and *Journey to the West*, Sun Wukong was very hostile toward the Western Buddhist Sect, so upon hearing that he was to exterminate the West,
Sun Wukong became interested. Even if he didn't participate, knowing about this plan was a good thing.
"Just as you know, Great Sage, not long ago, I, Duobao, was still the Buddha Tathagata of the Buddhist Sect."
"So my understanding of the Journey to the West and the Buddhist Sect can be said to be very deep."
"Therefore, I know the biggest loophole in the Western Buddhist Sect: the Hinayana Buddhism has a fatal flaw."
"And I, as Buddha Tathagata, have improved upon it; there is a Mahayana Buddhism that, once it can be spread within the Western Buddhist Sect,"
"even if it cannot exterminate the Western Buddhist Sect, it can at least cause it to split."
Duobao Daoren laid out his plan completely.
"Why would a Mahayana Buddhism have such huge power?"
"To the point of being able to exterminate the Buddhist Sect under the noses of the two Western Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, or at the very least, cause the Buddhist Sect to split?"
Sun Wukong remained skeptical about what Duobao Daoren said.
Not to mention that because he had read *Wukong Biography* and *Journey to the West* in Wu Feng’s grocery store, he remained vigilant toward Duobao Daoren at all times.
Just this statement from Duobao Daoren was something no cultivator in the Primordial World could believe.
"Great Sage, don't disbelieve me. Let me explain this to you properly."
"The Western Buddhist Sect spreads Hinayana Buddhism. What is called Hinayana Buddhism is a Buddhist Dharma that proclaims the Buddha is already destined; the other Arhats and Bodhisattvas, although they also cultivate within the Western Buddhist Sect, have no way to become Buddhas."
"Precisely because of this, within the Western Buddhist Sect, although ten thousand Buddhas come to pay respects to the Buddha, it still looks lifeless."
"Of course, more importantly, although Hinayana Buddhism proclaims that the Buddha is destined, and even to demonstrate this, the Western Buddhist Sect is divided into the Buddha of the Past, the Buddha of the Present, and the Buddha of the Future."
Sun Wukong had absolutely no understanding of the internal affairs of the Western Buddhist Sect; after all, although *Journey to the West* wrote about it, it didn't show much.
Besides, even if *Journey to the West* showed a lot about the Western Buddhist Sect, it was useless, because Sun Wukong hadn't seen where *Journey to the West* talked about the Western Buddhist Sect yet.
Therefore, Sun Wukong could only turn his head to look at Jin Chanzi beside him. ### CHAPTER 907
After all, Jin Chanzi was originally the second disciple under Buddha Tathagata, so he naturally knew a lot about the Western Buddhist Sect.
"Duobao Daoren’s words are true; the Western Buddhist Sect is indeed like this."
"And because Hinayana Buddhism sets the status of the Buddha very high, both the Buddha of the Past, Dipankara Buddha, and the Buddha of the Future, Maitreya Buddha, are eyeing the position of Buddha." ### CHAPTER 908 **The Advent of Mahayana Buddhism**
"It’s just that the former Buddha Tathagata was powerful and could suppress both the Buddha of the Past, Dipankara Buddha, and the Buddha of the Future, Maitreya Buddha, so that no internal strife occurred within the Western Buddhist Sect."
"However, now that Buddha Tathagata has returned to the Jie Sect and has even picked up the Daoist title of Duobao Daoren again, with the position of Buddha vacant,"
"the Western Buddhist Sect will inevitably fall into internal strife."
After hearing Jin Chanzi’s explanation, Sun Wukong had a certain understanding of the Western Buddhist Sect.
"Duobao Daoren, just as Jin Chanzi said, since the Western Buddhist Sect is now in internal strife, I can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Why should I take the risk of going on the Journey to the West to spread Mahayana Buddhism for you?"
Sun Wukong’s thought was indeed correct; since the Western Buddhist Sect was in internal strife, why should he intervene?
After all, no matter what, the West had two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, presiding over it. Unless necessary, and given his insufficient strength, Sun Wukong really didn't want to participate in the internal strife of the Western Buddhist Sect.
"Great Sage, you are mistaken. Although the Western Buddhist Sect is now in internal strife, you must know that once the Buddha of the Past, Dipankara Buddha, and the Buddha of the Future, Maitreya Buddha, decide the winner,"
"because of the special nature of Hinayana Buddhism, it will inevitably make the Buddhist Sect unprecedentedly united afterward. After all, those who cultivate Hinayana Buddhism have absolute worship for the Buddha."
"And this time will not be long. I believe that during this Journey to the West Great Calamity, the Buddha of the Past, Dipankara Buddha, and the Buddha of the Future, Maitreya Buddha, will be able to decide the winner."
"I wonder, Great Sage, are you willing to see such a situation?"
Hearing this, Sun Wukong shook his head.
Sun Wukong naturally did not want to see a united Western Buddhist Sect.
"But if, during this period, you go on the Journey to the West and spread the Mahayana Buddhism I have into the Western Buddhist Sect, then the Western Buddhist Sect will inevitably split, and it is not impossible for it to collapse directly!"
"My Mahayana Buddhism teaches that everyone can become a Buddha; compared to Hinayana Buddhism, it is more than a cut above."
"Therefore, once people in the Western Buddhist Sect come into contact with the Mahayana Buddhism I have, they will no longer switch to cultivating Hinayana Buddhism."
"In this way, it can cause the split of the Western Buddhist Sect."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong raised his own question.
"Since you say so, Duobao Daoren, why don't you go down yourself and deliver this Mahayana Buddhism? Why must the four of us deliver it personally?"
"Great Sage, do you know that Mahayana Buddhism has been in existence for over a thousand years, but why have I not spread it?"
Duobao Daoren did not answer Sun Wukong’s question but instead asked him back.
"I don't know. Please enlighten me, Duobao Daoren!"
"This is precisely because the advent of Mahayana Buddhism requires it to be born in response to the calamity, and it requires the person born in response to the calamity to reveal it personally! And this was the original plan of the Western Buddhist Sect for the Journey to the West Great Calamity."
"After all, only Mahayana Buddhism can spread rapidly in the East and raise the prestige of Western Buddhism."
"Hinayana Buddhism is simply too backward."
"So that’s how it is. But why do you want to do this, and why should I help you?"
Sun Wukong had understood Duobao Daoren’s plan, but precisely because of this, his doubts deepened. ### CHAPTER 909 **Unifying the Current Primordial Demon World**
