I lay in the Ling Mountain Thunder Sound Temple, surrounded by mangled limbs.

"Tianpeng..."

A feeble voice of the Buddha resounded, and as I lifted my eyes, I saw the Buddha sitting on the throne.

He was left with only a head, floating in a foul-smelling mucus.

"Tianpeng, I'm afraid Zhu Bajie can't hold on any longer!"

"Jade Emperor, did he give you the Nine Transformation Golden Pill?"

The Buddha saw the Nine Transformation Golden Pill floating above me.

"I can't hold on any longer, Tianpeng. I have protected the Thunder Sound Temple, but I cannot protect the future. So, take this as well."

The Buddha's head "cracked" and shattered.

From the shattered head, a golden Bodhi flower emerged.

In mid-air, the Buddha's primordial spirit began to fade, and his voice continued, "I became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree, and the Bodhi is my true form. Take this golden Bodhi, although it may not defeat Maitreya, it will at least give you some room to breathe."

"Buddha, I didn't expect you to be so generous."

"This was originally one of the rewards for you and your master's journey to the Western Heaven."

As the Buddha's words fell, the scriptures in the Thunder Sound Temple turned into golden inscriptions, like spells, penetrating my whole body.

The golden Bodhi fell into my hands.

But it was attracted to the Nine Transformation Golden Pill, and they fused together, integrating into my limbs and bones.

Suddenly, my spiritual power increased dramatically.

I felt a sense of breaking through the bottleneck of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Looking outside again, within the black mist, the enormous figure of Maitreya was continuously expanding the gap in the sky.

But with the Five-Colored Divine Stone, no matter how large the heavenly passage became, it would instantly be repaired.

My gaze sharpened, and my body shot out!

Master came to intercept me, but I couldn't bear to harm him.

So, I forcibly extracted the golden Bodhi from my body and pressed it against my master's forehead.

The golden Bodhi had the effect of enlightening the mind.

Perhaps, it could save my master.

Immediately, a vision appeared, and the sound of great compassion resounded all around.

The ancient chants were like exorcism spells, allowing my master to quickly merge the merit of the journey to obtain the scriptures and the Buddha's golden Bodhi.

The peculiar insects on his body emitted a mournful sound and dissipated at an astonishing speed.

He underwent rebirth once again, radiating golden light!

The dragon-horse face on my master's head also disappeared.

The sky and earth resounded with countless Buddhist chants.

He became the present Buddha.

"Bajie, there is a problem with the water of the Milky Way. Master just saw it!"

"Master, don't speak for now! You have become a Buddha!"

My master became the present Buddha.

Unseen forces gave the Buddhist sect a powerful boost.

Allowing the Buddhist sect to continue in a new way, and giving sentient beings a new reliance.

At this point, the power of the heavenly dao surged, coupled with the sky-repairing effect of the Five-Colored Divine Stone.

The sky became increasingly solid, and it became almost impossible to break through the gap.

Even if it was broken, it would only be a tiny gap.

Without the support of the peculiar insects' source, Maitreya's power greatly diminished.

"Tianpeng!" The giant face on Maitreya's abdomen shouted, "Let's divide the Three Realms equally. The Heavenly Court belongs to you, and Ling Mountain belongs to me! How about it?"

I sneered, "Then how should we arrange my master?"

Maitreya looked at my master again, who already had a towering golden light, reconstructing Ling Mountain.
