Bitter Zen placed his palms together, and his Light of Buddha retracted. In an instant, the silhouettes of Buddhas in the sky vanished, and everything returned to a calm state. It was as though nothing had happened.

He bowed towards Ye Futian and said, “I have spent a millennium on Spirit Mountain and only managed to catch a glimpse of the Path of Buddha. Benefactor Ye, you have merely cultivated Buddhist doctrine for dozens of days and already have such high attainment. I am ashamed of myself.”

It was not quite fair to compare Ye Futian’s dozens of days of contact with Buddhist doctrine with his own millennia spent on it. They were not even on the same level. However, it was with this background that Ye Futian made his way up here and defeated the various Buddhist cultivators. Although Ye Futian eventually admitted his defeat to Bitter Zen, in reality, he had only lost in terms of the duration spent on Buddhist doctrine.

Bitter Zen was a monk who had followed the Lord of All Buddhas for more than a millennia. The influence of his surroundings greatly aided him in cultivating the Buddhist Path..

The various Buddhas watched the two humble men. This outcome was expected. After all, it was Bitter Zen who had stepped forward.

Ye Futian imitated Donghuang the Great of the past. However, in the end, Ye Futian was not him. When Donghuang the Great came to the Western World, his cultivation was much stronger than that of Ye Futian, and he had also previously comprehended Buddhist doctrine for many years. If they disregarded his other abilities and only looked at his Buddhist doctrine attainment, Donghuang the Great was already a Buddha-level figure back then.

It was only under such circumstances that Donghuang the Great had managed to defeat all the various Buddhas.

It was normal for Ye Futian to fail at what the former had achieved. Moreover, the person who got in his way was Bitter Zen. It was already an extraordinary achievement for him to reach this stage and even defeat Shenyan Arhat. If it were any other person, it would have been nearly impossible for them to achieve what he had accomplished.

“Master Bitter Zen, you are too courteous. This person has come today to Spirit Mountain to challenge the Buddhist sects. If you did not step forward, he might have thought that no one in our sects could prove a match for him,” said Shenyan Buddha Lord. When he saw Bitter Zen treating Ye Futian so politely, he felt a sense of dissatisfaction. He swept a glance at Ye Futian and said, “Buddha is merciful. Today, you came to cause trouble on Spirit Mountain. However, since it is All Buddhas Fest, we will not find fault with you. Descend from the mountain.”

When he said this, a cold and indifferent look flashed past in his eyes. Under Buddha’s Clairvoyance, even if Ye Futian descended from the mountain, where could he go? Ye Futian would not be able to escape his Heavenly Eye.

He would settle the score with Ye Futian after All Buddhas Fest had ended. This cultivator from the Divine Prefecture had to remain in Western Heaven.

Although Ye Futian did not know what Shenyan Buddha Lord was thinking, he could sense the latter’s animosity towards him. It was normal for Ye Futian to be defeated today. When he came here, he never thought that he would be able to defeat the various Buddhas. He had merely given it a try. In the end, he lost to Bitter Zen in the final battle.

Of course, Ye Futian could accept this outcome. Since he had been defeated, he would need to leave soon. It was best that he left Western Heaven before All Buddhas Fest ended.

He turned around and glanced towards Hua Qingqing. He revealed an apologetic look. However, Hua Qingqing was smiling and seemingly did not mind.

“Wutian Buddha Lord was kind to us. Should we ask him to let you stay here and cultivate the Path of Buddha? That way, you will have a chance to meet the Lord of All Buddhas in the future,” Ye Futian asked Hua Qingqing over transmitted thoughts. If they left just like that, they wouldn’t have the chance to meet the Lord of All Buddhas.

If they missed this opportunity, who knows when they could return here?

“All that has happened on Spirit Mountain will not escape the eyes of the Lord of All Buddhas. If he is willing to see me, he will naturally do so. If he isn’t, it would be meaningless to stay behind,” Hua Qingqing replied softly. Ye Futian nodded his head slightly.

Buddhist superpowers were miraculous. The Lord of All Buddhas was certainly proficient in many Buddhist techniques. Everything that had occurred here would surely be known to him.

When Ye Futian heard Hua Qingqing’s response, he knew that she was very clear about this, so he did not say anymore. He turned to face the various Buddhas and said, “Today, I came to seek pointers on the Path of Buddha and have gained much insight. There is no limit to Buddhist doctrine. Many thanks for your guidance. I apologize for having disturbed you all. Farewell.”

He placed his palms together and the Light of Buddha flowed around his figure as he said this. He bowed towards the various Buddha Lords and prepared to descend the mountain and leave.

“Wait a moment,” a voice called out just as Ye Futian was turning to leave.

Ye Futian looked towards the person who had spoken. He was a Buddha Lord who was seated at the very top. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Futian with a smile. It was the Buddha Lord who Shenyan Buddha Lord had been very polite to and referred to as Buddha.

“Buddha Lord,” Ye Futian greeted. He bowed when he heard the other party calling him. “Is there anything else?”

Shenyan Buddha Lord and the other Buddhas all turned towards the Buddha Lord who had spoken. They were somewhat surprised. This Buddha Lord rarely spoke. Now, he had actually held Ye Futian back. What was he about to do?

“Benefactor Ye, you will know in a moment,” the Buddha Lord said with a smile. He narrowed his eyes and looked up into the sky. Ye Futian felt somewhat curious. Wutian Buddha Lord also smiled and looked up into the sky above Spirit Mountain. This Buddha Lord cultivated Omniscience. If he wanted Ye Futian to wait, he naturally had his reasons for doing so.

“Is something above Spirit Mountain?” asked Ye Futian. He looked up but did not see anything. The mountain was quiet. Everyone was waiting. It seemed that everyone here paid attention to every word and act of the Buddha Lord.

Just then, rainbow light descended from the sky. The next moment, the light enveloped Spirit Mountain. A gigantic Buddha figure appeared in the heavens above.

Right now, the entire mountain was bathed in the divine Light of Buddha.

Seemingly realizing that something had occurred, the various Buddhas on Spirit Mountain all got up and bowed towards the heavens. They had respectful expressions and appeared pious.

“Greetings, Lord of All Buddhas.”

“Greetings, Lord of All Buddhas!”

Their voices reverberated throughout Spirit Mountain. The various Buddhas were all bowing. Regardless of their level, all the Buddhas were in the same pose, bowing with their palms together.

Ye Futian naturally understood who had arrived. Only the Lord of All Buddhas could make all the various Buddhas bow and welcome him simultaneously.

Ye Futian’s heart stirred. He was somewhat moved. The Lord of All Buddhas had actually come.

That meant that the Buddha Lord before this had asked him to wait because he knew that the Lord of All Buddhas was coming.

When he realized this, Ye Futian also bowed and placed his palms together. Hua Qingqing looked up at the sky with her beautiful eyes at the Lord of All Buddhas. Seemingly noticing her gaze, the Buddha in the sky looked towards her and revealed a kind smile. Hua Qingqing immediately felt her heart tremble. She bowed and said, “Greetings, Lord of All Buddhas.”

“I merely came to visit Spirit Mountain. Everyone, you need not be so ceremonious,” said the Buddha in the sky to the various Buddhas below as he placed his palms together. He appeared very polite. This scene moved Ye Futian. It appeared that the Buddhist sects indeed had different manners compared to other worlds.

Just as the various Buddhas had said before this, although all life was equal and the Buddhas were no exception, there was a difference in their comprehension of Buddhist doctrine. The Lord of All Buddhas did not have a high and mighty attitude, but his comprehension of Buddhist doctrine was the most profound among the Buddhist sects. Hence, he was the Lord of All Buddhas, and the various Buddhas bowed to him!
