Chapter 332: Minghe's Arrangement

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

Minghe looked at Dipamkara kneeling before him and said coldly, ”Dipamkara, since you've made up your mind, you are formally my fourth inner disciple now. The Ninth-Grade Red Lotus of Fire marks my second generation disciple. Now I present it to you.” Minghe had only cultivated three Ninth-Grade Red Lotus of Fire, thus this fire for Dipamkara was refined by inserting two three-grades and the six-grade fire from Kunpeng, so it wasn't as powerful as Liu Er's and the rest.

Dipamkara ecstatically received the treasure from Minghe. He had never gotten anything valuable from Honored Lord of the Origin while being his disciple after such a long time, yet he gained a Top Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure just after becoming Minghe's. How ironic life was. Thus Dipamkara was even more convinced of his choice and longed for the Way of Origin promised by Minghe.

Minghe glanced at Dipamkara calmly. Honestly speaking, he appreciates Dipamkara whose Tao was the Way of Nirvana enlightened by himself. Yet he had chosen to be a disciple of Honored Lord of the Origin and learn the Great Way of ”Jade Pure One”, and had reached a high Realm. The Great Way of ”Jade Pure One”, though favorable, somehow conflicted with his own Great Way. Thus he advanced slowly in cultivation.

While it was in such a situation that Dipamkara had separated Good Separation and became a Sage-to-be, which proved his ability in comprehension and perseverance. What he lacked was a just proper chance to soar, which Minghe presented to him. Dipamkara was smart enough to catch it, and that was all.

As for Dipamkara's betrayal of his tribe, Minghe did not care for that. Just as the saying goes, a treacherous emperor alienates his officials and an unkind father estranges his son. Dipamkara had done more than enough for Clan of Enlightenment and Honored Lord of the Origin, but Honored Lord of the Origin had never viewed Dipamkara as his real disciple. Therefore, it was natural for Dipamkara to leave and there should be no judgment to be done.

Dipamkara collected the Ninth-Grade Red Lotus of Fire and stood behind Minghe while ignoring Honored Lord of the Origin's rage without a bit of shame. There was no absolute right and wrong in Untainted Land. The Three Pure Ones had betrayed each other for Luck, while Dipamkara had changed his tribe for his own future. No one could blame him for that.

Honored Lord of the Origin glared at Dipamkara furiously and felt even more outrageous while observing his impassivity. Though the three Manjusri had entered Buddhism, they at least showed some shame when confronting him. How could he stay numb seeing Dipamkara's lack of guilt? Yet due to the Way of Heaven's restraint, he could not take action against Untainted Land. And with Minghe there, it would all be futile efforts.

Honored Lord of the Origin glanced at Minghe and Dipamkara before looking at Jieyin, Zhunti, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Goddess of Mercy, then his expression turned chill. He said coldly, ”Humph! Minghe, Jieyin and Zhunti, you really know how to plot. I'll never forget what happened today and you're will pay for this.”

He then left after after saying those words. Actually, Honored Lord of the Origin was left with no choice. He could not make a move due to the Way of Heaven's restraint, and the betrayal of his disciple disgraced him greatly. The Clan of Enlightenment was seriously hurt through this, with only four of the Twelve Golden Immortals remaining and the loss of a Deputy Sect Leader. Though it had won the Battle of Gods Investiture, that could not cover such a loss.

When all was settled, Jieyin and Zhunti led the three Manjusri towards the west. Zhunti stared at Dipamkara before he left, since, compared with Manjusri the three, Dipamkara was the one he actually wanted. It was indeed a pity that Minghe had him. Now he had to search again for the proper candidate of Buddha of the past.

Though Buddhism sect was newly founded, it was actually the former Western Religious Sect with some changes. Thus they only needed to elevate the Medicine Buddha as Buddha of Medicine, Buddhas of the present, one of the three supreme Buddhas in Buddhism, and Maitreya to Buddha Maitreya, Buddhas of future, one of the three supreme Buddhas as well. Yet it lacked one Buddha of the past. Now that Dipamkara did not choose Buddhism. It could take a long time for them to find another candidate.

At the same time, Minghe led Dipamkara to Blood Sea. Liu Er, Kong Xuan and Black Tortoise welcomed them once they arrived. Seeing all three of them looking at him, Dipamkara greeted them saying, ”Greeting to you, senior brothers.” In fact, Dipamkara was older than Liu Er and the rest, but he entered the sect later.
