Chapter 2448 - The Secrets of the Buddhas’ Negative Karma
The Buddha of the Future had returned to his true appearance. His skin was as smooth as jade, and he had the countenance of a Buddhist statue, his gaze profound and full of the vicissitudes of countless years.
When he poured his power into the bodhi leaf, a curtain of light appeared, reflecting the Dipankara Buddha seated beneath the bodhi tree once more.
When he saw that the Buddha of the Future was no longer hiding his true appearance, the Dipankara Buddha seemed to realize something. “Did you fail?”
The Buddha of the Future nodded. “He didn’t just not take the bait; he seemed to see through it. He managed to catch me off guard at a critical juncture.”
He then launched into a concise explanation of the battle before sighing, “I can say with certainty that someone is guiding him in secret. He couldn’t have seen through our arrangements otherwise.”
The Dipankara Buddha fell briefly silent for a while before murmuring, “I’d originally thought that our plan was all but certain to succeed, but in the end, it seems we miscalculated.”
It sounded as if he found this a terrible pity.
The Buddha of the Future said, “The Well of Turbulent Daos is damaged, and the Maitreya Tower has been invaded. It’s no longer usable. I’m no longer at all confident that I can kill Su Yi here in the Boundless Battlefield.”
The Dipankara Buddha said suddenly, “Do you think he’s grasped our secret?”
The Buddha of the Future’s gaze focused. “It’s entirely possible.”
The Dipankara Buddha’s brow furrowed, and he sank deep into thought. The atmosphere silently grew stifled.
The Buddha of the Future said, “At the very least, we managed to borrow Su Yi’s hands to destroy the negative karma of our heart, body, and soul. We needn’t fear the Tribulations of Destiny going forward!”
