Chapter 340 - 301: Tathagata on Mount Meru Discusses the Pharmacist
It is said that Medicine Buddha had slain Pharmacist Buddha and reclaimed the Lapis Lazuli Pure Light Realm.
Using the Formless Divine Skill, Medicine Buddha swallowed the essence of Pharmacist Buddha. Even if Tathagata himself were to come, he wouldn’t notice that he had replaced Pharmacist Buddha. As soon as Tathagata arrived, he could act undercover within the Buddhist sect. When the great catastrophe of heaven and earth occurred and they eventually turned against the Buddhist sect, he would strike back at Tathagata, causing him substantial pain.
Daoist Equal to Heaven laughed and said, "Well done! Pharmacist Buddha is dead, and now that you control the Lapis Lazuli Pure Light Realm, we can plan even better. However, Medicine Buddha, you must also handle Tathagata well. Don’t let him see through you, lest all our efforts become futile."
Medicine Buddha replied, "Of course! Using the Formless Divine Skill to employ Divine Skills, I have merged with the soul of Pharmacist Buddha and obtained his memories. There will be no flaws when dealing with Tathagata, rest assured."
These true and false Buddhas were originally mixing up fortunes. Pharmacist Buddha had mastered the Lapis Lazuli Pure Light Realm, representing the future fortune of the Buddhist sect, but now that Medicine Buddha has reclaimed it, the fortune has blessed him instead, while Pharmacist Buddha faced his doom.
"Since you now control the Lapis Lazuli Pure Light Realm, we should also leave! Otherwise, someone from the Buddhist sect might come soon," said Daoist Equal to Heaven.
Medicine Buddha responded, "I still need to tidy up the aftermath within the Lapis Lazuli Pure Light Realm, you all go ahead."
Daoist Equal to Heaven said, "Let’s go!"
All the people rose on clouds and dispersed, as if this event had never happened.
Medicine Buddha employed Divine Skills to repair the entire Lapis Lazuli World. Daoist Equal to Heaven returned to the Great Pure Sky with the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda and handed it back to Laojun.
Meanwhile, Tathagata was resolving Wukong’s doubts on Mount Meru when he suddenly felt a surge of emotion, yet he couldn’t make out what had happened.
