The arena fell into a deathly silence.
At this crucial moment, Amitabha finally spoke.
Amitabha chanted, his voice ringing out:
"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Your Excellency, the Prison God, possesses unsurpassed cultivation and wisdom, yet you misinterpret it as lewdness. You should reflect upon yourselves, lest your Dao hearts be stained by the mortal world."
"I also believe that His Excellency, the Prison God, would not utter such rude, ignorant, and shameless words."
The Buddha also quickly added, "Let's all pretend nothing happened."
Chu Hao looked at the three thousand Buddhas with disdain.
Good heavens, they were the most vehement in their accusations just now, and now they all look so disappointed.
The way this Western Paradise is unfolding is all wrong.
Manjusri and Samantabhadra looked slightly better, but only Guanyin Bodhisattva was sullen.
What a pity…
Manjusri Bodhisattva said in a cold voice:
"Qiu Shou Xian is my mount, we have been together for countless years, why should I give him to you!"
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was also exasperated.
"Prison God Chu Hao, don't go too far! A gentleman does not seize what others cherish!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva did not speak, still immersed in the disappointment just now.
Chu Hao waved his hand and said:
"Hey, even the Buddha's Golden Lotus of Merit was taken by me, what do you think your mounts are worth? Doesn't thinking like that make you feel better?"
The Buddha: "…"
Damn it!
An innocent bystander gets shot!
Chu Hao's desire for the mounts of the three great Bodhisattvas was not a sudden whim.
Because Chu Hao suddenly remembered that he also had an identity, that of the senior disciple of the Jie Sect.
As the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, Chu Hao was also fortunate enough to receive the grace of the Tongtian Sect Leader, taking his cultivation methods.
And the key is that Chu Hao is concerned about the feelings of the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Three Xiao Goddesses.
Chu Hao needs the power of the Jie Sect, but Chu Hao does not want to revive the Jie Sect. This is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, and Heaven cannot be defied.
The Jie Sect's fortune has already been exhausted in the Investiture of the Gods. Even if Chu Hao fully revives the Jie Sect, he will only get an incomplete, disunited Jie Sect.
It is better to take these forces for his own use.
Chu Hao is about to advance to the Quasi-Saint realm, which also means that Chu Hao is about to become the Gouchen Emperor.
It would be too embarrassing for a Great Emperor to have no capable subordinates, wouldn't it?
Therefore, Chu Hao has set his sights on the mounts of the three great Bodhisattvas.
The cultivation of the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden Roar is actually not weaker than the three great Bodhisattvas themselves, all possessing the cultivation of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
These Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden Roar are not ordinary demons. They were originally among the Seven Immortals who attended the Jie Sect.
Qiu Shou Xian, Lingya Xian, and Jinguang Xian!
They were also famous in the Investiture of the Gods, but because the Jie Sect was defeated in the Investiture of the Gods, the three demon immortals were taken as mounts by the three great Bodhisattvas.
Their status was originally similar, but they were reduced to being the mounts of their enemies.
The three demon immortals felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts, but they had no choice but to endure.
Moreover, Western Paradise has also devoted a lot of effort to cultivate them, which can be regarded as increasing the strength of Western Paradise.
Of course, the control over the three demon immortals is also very much in place, and they all have Amitabha's restrictions added to their bodies.
With the crucial supervision of the three great Bodhisattvas, subduing them is not a problem in front of Western Paradise.
Chu Hao had actually thought about the eldest brother of the Seven Attending Immortals, but he knew it was unrealistic, so he didn't ask too much.
"Three Grand Luo Golden Immortals in exchange for an initial Quasi-Saint, plus Tang Seng's dog life, you make a bloody profit!"
Chu Hao said with a reluctant expression.
Amitabha twitched the corner of his mouth,
If this White Lotus Boy and Tang Seng weren't both from our family, I would almost think we were really making a bloody profit.
Manjusri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattvas strongly disagreed and angrily rebuked:
"Dream on! We will never agree!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly remembered something and quietly said to the Buddha:
"Buddha, the three demon immortals also have four tribulations arranged in the Journey to the West. If they are really given to Chu Hao, wouldn't it be a mess?"
The Buddha nodded and quietly transmitted his voice to Amitabha, informing him of this matter.
However, Amitabha ignored the Buddha and instead said to Chu Hao in a gentle voice:
"Prison God Chu Hao, I agree to the conditions you want!"
"Three great Bodhisattvas, please give up your mounts. Don't worry, I will give you compensation later."
The Buddha was anxious,
"Teacher, you can't! This matter concerns…"
Amitabha looked at the Buddha coldly,
Without saying another threatening word.
But the Buddha felt Amitabha's extreme dissatisfaction.
Obviously, Amitabha was already tired of the Buddha challenging his authority again and again.
Amitabha has his own measure in his heart. Saints stand above the Three Realms,
They are not moved by non-merit, and they do not sympathize with things that are not their own.
Even if the Buddha has made contributions to managing Western Paradise, he should not repeatedly offend his superiors. This is a taboo.
The three great Bodhisattvas are the Buddha's subordinates. Letting out the mounts of the three great Bodhisattvas is a warning to the Buddha.
Amitabha casually transmitted his voice to the Buddha:
"You can think of other ways for the tribulations of the Journey to the West. Teacher believes you can do it."
A trace of humiliation and grievance flashed in the Buddha's eyes, but he could only lower his head and accept his fate.
He saw that this was intentional.
But there was no way, this was his teacher.
The Buddha knew very well that when Lao Tzu transformed into a Hu, these two Western teachers gave him the opportunity, and he was able to have the position of the Lord of the Central Saha World today.
If he suffered a loss, he would admit it!
The Buddha secretly transmitted his voice to the three great Bodhisattvas:
"Three great Bodhisattvas, I'm sorry for you…"
The expressions of the three great Bodhisattvas changed. They were still angrily rebuking Chu Hao, but in the next second, they looked back at the Buddha in shock and incomprehension,
"Buddha!"
But the Buddha's face was full of vicissitudes, filled with forbearance.
Chu Hao glanced at the three great Bodhisattvas, and saw the Buddha's forbearance and Amitabha's gentleness.
Chu Hao seemed to understand something.
What a Western Paradise, it is truly a world with a clear hierarchy.
The three great Bodhisattvas were helpless, knowing that even the Buddha could not protect the three demon immortals, they could only endure!
Of course, Chu Hao was not stupid either. Only after confirming that the restrictions on the three demon immortals had been lifted did he nod and give out the White Lotus Boy and the Nine Revolutions Great Revival Pill.
The White Lotus Boy moved back happily and triumphantly,
"Hahahaha! Your grandpa is back again. As expected, I am the protagonist of the Three Realms. Good people are blessed by Heaven!"
"The world will be shrouded in my shadow! Hahaha!"
Seeing the White Lotus Boy's triumphant appearance, the Buddha's face darkened a few more degrees.
He was forced to give up the mounts of the three great Bodhisattvas, only to get back a mentally retarded child?
Coming back to disgust me?
He was extremely uncomfortable!
The strong members of the Dragon Clan saw that the matter had come to a satisfactory conclusion, and greeted Chu Hao.
"Little friend Chu, our Dragon Clan owes you a debt of gratitude. Feel free to ask if you need anything! Our Dragon Clan will always be your friend, Chu Hao!"
The Jade Emperor still wanted to stay and watch the show, but Chu Hao was in a hurry and quickly said to everyone in the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison:
"Let's slip away quickly, there's no time to dawdle!"
Chu Hao was a little guilty.
