407 Maitreya
You didn’t use all 36 Sea-Pacifying Pearls.

If he were to use all of them, it would be difficult to explain.

After all, there were only 36 Sea-Pacifying Pearls in total. How could Zhao Gongming have a few more? The others also had some.

24 beads were just right. The power of the primordial formation was not weak. Even Cundi nodded approvingly at the Saint-to-be’s attack.

“Not bad, not bad. With this technique, even those old Quasi-Saints won’t be able to gain an advantage over you.”

Now, Cundi regarded you as one of his own. He was very satisfied with the western religion for having such a strong man.

In the face of the 24 Sea-Pacifying Pearls.

Cundi didn’t move a single step, but simply waved his hand.

The seven-colored flowing light flew out and instantly froze the 24 Sea-Pacifying Pearls in the air.

“How is it?”

You shook your head helplessly as you looked at the Sea-Pacifying Pearls that had been frozen in place. A Saint was so terrifying.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll join your western religion.”

At the Great Thunderclap Temple…

The Great Thunderclap Temple was not as prosperous as it was during the Journey to the West.

At the very top, there were two lotus thrones, which were the seats for the two saints of the western religion.

And below them were two or three small fish and shrimp.

The only people who could be called by name were only two Buddhas. One was the future Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and the other was the Medicine Master Buddha.

The Maitreya Buddha was at the early stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, while the Medicine Master Buddha was at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

From this, one could see how desolate the western religion had become.

Jieyin was currently giving a sermon to the disciples below the stage.

The advantage of having fewer disciples could be seen from the level of education.

In this entire world, whether it was the Enlightenment Sect or the Jie Sect, the preaching of the Sect Leader was a rare event that only happened once in 10,000 years.

There was a Saint who was teaching at every moment.

However, none of their disciples were capable. Their aptitudes were mediocre, and even if a Saint personally taught them, it was useless.

At this moment, Jieyin was preaching to the disciples as usual.

Suddenly, Jieyin was stunned. During the lecture, all the disciples looked at the Saint Jieyin above.

Very quickly, they understood.

It was the return of the Saint Cundi.

Cundi led you directly into the Great Thunderclap Temple.

“Junior Brother, it’s only been a few days since you left for the eastern lands. Why are you back so quickly?” Jieyin asked Cundi curiously.

His eyes were constantly sizing you up. When he saw that your physical body had reached the Golden immortal realm, he immediately nodded his head in satisfaction.

“Haha, Senior Brother, I met a fated person on the way here, so I invited him over to take a look. He said he wanted to join us,” Cundi said and pointed at you.

You immediately stepped forward and said, “Great Shang’s General Zhao Hao greets Saint Jieyin.”

As soon as they heard your name, the entire Great Thunderclap Temple was filled with shock.

Even the Saint was a little confused.

“You actually have such cultivation? It’s no wonder that Yuan Hong was captured by you.”

The more Jieyin looked at you, the more satisfied he was. A Golden Immortal’s body could be ranked in the top three among the entire western religion’s disciples.

“Zhao Hao, since you’re going to join our western religion, you can’t call me by my real name anymore. Now that there’s an empty position in our sect, I’ll let you comprehend the Buddhist scriptures and determine your fruit position.”

At that moment, Cundi returned to the upper lotus platform.

When he said that, he took out the Connate Cardinal Treasure, the Grade-12 golden lotus.

Accompanying it was the eight-treasure merit pool of the western religion.

The Grade-12 golden lotus slowly grew larger and floated to your side.

“Enter the golden lotus, pour the water of merit on it, and comprehend your own Buddhist path.”

Before you could even react, you were sucked into the Grade-12 golden lotus.

Inside the Grade-12 golden lotus…

The essence of Buddhism kept floating to him.

You were standing on a Grade-9 golden lotus and comprehending Buddhism in the vast water of merit.

The wisps of scriptures kept entering your sea of consciousness.

It’s as if your entire person had been enlightened.

“Not good. The old monk tricked me.”

You were shocked. You could indeed sense all kinds of Buddhist paths here, and you could easily sense the Buddhas of the righteous path.

However, what came with it was indeed a baptism for your soul. You would be completely loyal to the western religion.

Your reaction was very fast.

You took out the Grade-12 black lotus from the Jade Star Map.

The Grade-12 black lotus was a Supreme treasure on the same level as the Grade-12 golden lotus.

There were mutual augmentation and restraint attacks in the first place.

The Grade-12 black lotus has already been refined by you and entered your glabella, sitting in your sea of consciousness.
With the protection of a Connate Cardinal Treasure, the Grade-12 black lotus, all the scriptures and the profound meaning of Buddhism couldn’t enter your body and affect you.

“Yes. I can’t just stay here like this. Let’s just do whatever I want.”

You thought about it and flipped through the scriptures in your mind.

The Devil Buddha Sutra was definitely not going to work. This sutra was only good for ordinary monks, but it would be wishful thinking if they wanted to deceive a Buddhist Saint.

“There is…”

After pondering for a moment, the figure you saw in the Great Thunderclap Temple just now flashed through your mind.

As the western religion did not have a large population.

The moment you entered, you were able to see everyone.

Among them, the one that left the deepest impression on you was Maitreya Buddha, who had the highest cultivation base.

As for that Medicine Master Buddha, he was only an early-stage Golden Immortal—you didn’t even put him in your eyes.

Maitreya, on the other hand, had an arrogant look on his face, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was now the third master of the western religion.

“You…”

You did not hesitate to directly choose the future position of Maitreya Buddha and immediately said, “There is no life in the future, and the world is in a vacuum!”

The next moment…

A Buddhist chant resounded throughout the entire hermit-like area. The Buddhist chanting was ethereal and resounded throughout the world.

You sat cross-legged on the Grade-9 golden lotus. Your figure slowly flew out and floated in front of the Buddhas.

Millions of gentle white lights shone in all directions.

They saw you put your hands together.

Behind the bright and clear figure, streaks and streaks of incomparably mysterious seven-colored halos emerged.

In the seven-colored radiance, there were shadows of you sitting cross-legged.

They represented the future.

‘Maitreya, Maitreya!

‘Today, I’ll cut off your future and your opportunity. Let’s see how you’re going to deal with this.’

You judged in your heart.

A Maitreya Buddha with a big belly was originally sitting cross-legged in the main hall.

He had a kind face, his white brows were floating, golden light was shining around him, and the sound of Sanskrit chanting was heard.

Suddenly, he felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his head.

A golden light appeared on Maitreya’s face, and he spat out a mouthful of golden blood on the ground.
