Chapter 901: Infighting Within the Western Fomen!
In this way, the two Western Saints would inevitably think that Ancient Buddha Randeng was incompetent, thus giving Maitreya Buddha a chance to ascend.
As for whether doing this would affect the interests of the Western Fomen?
For Maitreya Buddha, he didn't care at all; after all, in his eyes, there was only replacing Ancient Buddha Randeng now. If that didn't happen, no matter how great the benefits the Western Fomen obtained, it had nothing to do with him.
Therefore, in this situation, Maitreya Buddha completely opposed any proposal that was beneficial to Ancient Buddha Randeng or beneficial to the Journey to the West Kalpa.
As for excuses, there were truly as many as one could want.
Lack of fortune, insufficient background, inadequate comprehension, etc., could all become points for Maitreya Buddha to attack.
And on Ancient Buddha Randeng's side, because of Maitreya Buddha's opposition, Ancient Buddha Randeng had even changed three candidates, and one of them was even Maitreya Buddha's subordinate.
But Maitreya Buddha still opposed it, because what Maitreya Buddha wanted to do was to sabotage this Journey to the West Kalpa, lowering Ancient Buddha Randeng's value in the eyes of the two Saints.
So that he, Maitreya Buddha, could take his place.
Regarding this, Ancient Buddha Randeng was also very clear about what Maitreya Buddha was thinking.
However, it was one thing for Ancient Buddha Randeng to be clear in his heart, but his actions were another matter.
After all, the reasons Maitreya Buddha gave were real, so Ancient Buddha Randeng could not use this point to go and complain to the two Western Saints.
Besides, even if he caught Maitreya Buddha deliberately causing trouble, Ancient Buddha Randeng would not do so.
It wasn't because Ancient Buddha Randeng had a selfless spirit or anything, but because if he, Ancient Buddha Randeng, couldn't even solve such a small matter.
It is feared that in the eyes of the two Western Saints, his, Ancient Buddha Randeng's, evaluation would be even lower, and then, he probably wouldn't last long in this position.
After all, before him, there was the existence of Rulai Buddha, a pearl of great price.
Finally, seeing that if they continued to argue like this, even if the Journey to the West Kalpa opened, their Western Fomen might not be able to choose a candidate to replace Jin Chanzi.
For this reason, Guanyin Pusa stood out at this critical moment.
"In my opinion, what Maitreya Buddha says is not without reason. Since that is the case, let me serve as the pilgrim this time."
Guanyin Pusa belonged neither to Maitreya Buddha's side nor to Ancient Buddha Randeng's side; it could be said that Guanyin Pusa was a neutral existence within the Western Fomen.
Therefore, facing this proposal from Guanyin Pusa, both Ancient Buddha Randeng and Maitreya Buddha could accept it.
For Ancient Buddha Randeng, once the Journey to the West Kalpa had a pilgrim, it could proceed according to plan; in this way, his, Ancient Buddha Randeng's, value in the eyes of the two Western Saints would not drop.
And for Maitreya Buddha, although Guanyin Pusa becoming the pilgrim for this Journey to the West Kalpa did not achieve Maitreya Buddha's ultimate goal.
It could still strike at Ancient Buddha Randeng's prestige; after all, this pilgrimage was led by Guanyin Pusa, and most of the credit would be counted on Guanyin's head.
Thereby causing Ancient Buddha Randeng's position to remain unstable.
In this way, Maitreya Buddha could completely find another opportunity to topple Ancient Buddha Randeng later.
As for Guanyin Pusa, a woman, becoming the pilgrim, it was completely outside the range of concerns for Maitreya Buddha and Ancient Buddha Randeng.
Because Guanyin Pusa originally had no distinction of gender; back when she was Cihang Daoren, Guanyin Pusa was in a male body.
And after becoming Guanyin Pusa, she became a female body.
Therefore, after reincarnation, Guanyin Pusa could completely go on the pilgrimage in a male body. ===== CHAPTER 903 =====
