Appearing before Chu Hao was none other than the Past Buddha, Dipankara Buddha, one of the Three Buddhas of the Three Worlds!
His former identity was the Deputy Leader of the Chan Sect!
He was the chief disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu also called him their teacher. He was also the master of Li Jing and Yu Yi Xian, among the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.
During the Investiture of the Gods, Dipankara Taoist had already shown his prowess.
In the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation of the Jie Sect, Dipankara Taoist, under the guidance of his master Yuanshi Tianzun, used the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to defeat the Jie Sect's Tongtian Sage.
After the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods, Dipankara Taoist led Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, Cihang Daoren, and several other Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect to defect from the Chan Sect and join the Western Religion!
Dipankara Taoist used the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to evolve the Twenty-Four Heavens, attaining the Buddha status of the Western Religion, becoming the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas under the guidance of the Second Saints of the Western Religion, Amitabha and Zhunti, and enjoying unparalleled prestige for a time.
His significance to the Western Heaven is like the land of Mount Meru itself. It can be said that without Dipankara Buddha leading a large number of elites from the Chan Sect to join, laying the foundation for the Three Great Bodhisattvas, the Western Heaven would not be as prosperous as it is today.
Dipankara Buddha can be described as the "Leader of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the Origin of Ancestral Buddhas"!
Now, Dipankara Taoist is the Dipankara Buddha of the Western Heaven, in charge of the Great World of the Past. He originally did not interfere in worldly affairs, and even if treasures were stolen, he remained behind the scenes.
But today, in order to save his disciple, Dipankara Buddha finally made a move.
Yu Yi Xian quickly ran behind Dipankara Buddha, "Master, save me! Master, save me!"
Chu Hao looked at Dipankara Buddha warily, clutching the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, ready to activate the Heavenly Origin Magic Stone at any time!
Although Chu Hao had never met Dipankara Buddha, he had heard of him long ago.
This was no joke, Dipankara Buddha was a hundred times stronger than the Tathagata Buddha.
Chu Hao was very confident that the Heavenly Origin Magic Stone in his hand was just a toy in Dipankara Buddha's eyes.
If Dipankara Buddha disregarded everything and attacked Chu Hao, Chu Hao could only fight to the death.
However, although Chu Hao was so nervous and had made all the assumptions, things did not happen.
Dipankara Buddha looked like a kind old man, but he disregarded his position as an ancient Buddha of the Western Heaven.
Dipankara Buddha put his palms together towards Chu Hao and said in a gentle voice:
"Young Friend Chu, this old monk is Dipankara Buddha, greetings."
"My unworthy disciple, Yu Yi Xian, has caused harm to the brothers under Young Friend Chu, this is a great mistake. As his teacher, I apologize to you on his behalf."
Chu Hao raised an eyebrow, his heart filled with strange intentions. What the heck?
Dipankara Buddha apologized to him?
What, what is this all about?
However, Chu Hao did not relax his vigilance and said coldly:
"Dipankara Buddha, I am the Law Enforcement Hell God of the Three Realms. This time, Yu Yi Xian snatched a prisoner and fled in fear of punishment after injuring many of my subordinates."
"This violates the Heavenly Laws, how can I let him go?"
Dipankara Buddha smiled bitterly.
"This old monk knows that my unworthy disciple is at fault, but if the disciple is not taught, it is the teacher's fault. This old monk is willing to apologize for him."
Upon hearing this, the many Buddhas present were shocked and exclaimed:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Dipankara Buddha! Think twice!"
"This Hell God Chu Hao is arrogant and conceited. Although you are benevolent, Teacher, you must not help the evildoer and let him succeed!"
"Yes, he is still in the forbidden area of our Great Thunderclap Temple, committing murder. This is simply slapping our Western Heaven in the face!"
"If we condone this Hell God Chu Hao's sins today, this kind of evildoer will surely become more and more arrogant in the future. Who else will be able to suppress him?"
The three thousand Buddhas present spoke one after another, adding fuel to the fire, describing Chu Hao as a great demon king who kills without blinking an eye.
They seemed to have forgotten that just now, when Chu Hao attacked in front of them, they were all cowering in the corners, not daring to move, and could only lower their heads and chant the Rebirth Mantra.
Even the Fudo Myoo, who was naturally violent and subdued demons, pretended to be petrified. If I move, I lose.
But now, seeing Dipankara Buddha appear, they were like children complaining to their teacher, shouting.
It was truly laughable.
Chu Hao was not afraid of the Buddhas' slander, he raised his head and looked down, and laughed coldly:
"My actions are righteous, I enforce the law of the Three Realms, and my conscience is clear!"
"You Buddhas only dare to wag your tongues on the sidelines. I have never seen such shameless people!"
Even in front of Dipankara Buddha, Chu Hao did not show any timidity and reprimanded the Buddhas present without any politeness.
Righteous energy came from a thousand miles away.
A white robe shone brightly in the righteous energy, and even the Buddha's light seemed so dim for a time.
Seeing this, Dipankara Buddha couldn't help but sigh.
"The Hell God's heart can be seen by the heavens, and the heart of righteousness, how can yin and yang be thieves?"
"This time, we were wrong."
"My unworthy disciple has disregarded the Heavenly Laws, and the Western Heaven has shielded criminals and resisted law enforcement. It is indeed our fault."
"However, everyone makes mistakes, please give Young Friend Chu a chance. I am willing to pay compensation and will not commit any more crimes!"
He took the initiative to admit defeat? And also stated that it was the Western Heaven's fault, and even offered to pay compensation?
Upon seeing this, the Buddhas were dumbfounded.
What the heck is going on?
This is too outrageous, isn't it?
Dipankara Buddha, you are the dignified Past Buddha, the Leader of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the Origin of Ancestral Buddhas, and you are actually admitting your mistake to a young brat?
No way!
Everyone thought that Dipankara Buddha was deliberately using a delaying tactic.
But seeing Dipankara Buddha's sincere appearance, the Buddhas were terrified:
No, he's really going to pay compensation!
Seeing the Buddhas' unwillingness to accept the situation, Dipankara Buddha couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "You are stubborn and unrepentant. When did the Western Heaven's Mount Meru become like this? I think you have all been blinded by arrogance!"
"It should be known that even saints should respect karma, honor good and evil, and pay tribute to the right path. Now, the Law Enforcement Hell God is enforcing the law according to the law, and you are obstructing him? What is the reason for this?"
"In the Buddhist teachings, alas for all living beings. They often give rise to pride. There is pride, excessive pride, and pride beyond excessive pride, ego-pride, increased pride, base pride, and evil pride. You should be vigilant!"
Upon hearing this, the Buddhas quickly lowered their heads and respectfully said yes.
Although Dipankara Buddha said so, regardless of whether they listened or not, this was the word of the ancient Buddha, who would dare not obey?
Seeing the Buddhas like this, Dipankara Buddha couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, "Young Friend Chu, let's talk about compensation."
Chu Hao didn't even think about it, "Then I'll just say it randomly. Equip my Nine Heavens Prison with 100,000 sets of top-grade immortal artifacts! One million sets of intermediate-grade immortal artifacts!"
Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed!
He's not just saying it randomly, he came prepared!
It should be known that Chu Hao has learned five or six hundred years of extortion, making outrageous demands!
However, Dipankara Buddha didn't even frown upon hearing this and said gently:
"Acceptable!"
