Maitreya Buddha felt his mind and spirit had been struck; to think that eating could awaken mystical abilities, and acquired ones at that!
This was something he had never dared to imagine before.
Apart from the Wings of Wind and Thunder awakened by Lei Zhenzi of the Chan School after consuming Immortal Apricots, he had never heard of anything else possessing such magical powers!
And this mystical ability was a bit too strong.
It could absorb living creatures, draw on their cultivation, and rebound attacks!
Without realizing it, Maitreya Buddha patted his belly; he never thought that one day this belly would become his secret weapon.
Excited as he was, he did not overlook one issue: where did Sun Wukong, a mere Golden Immortal, get such a grand resource?
How could he offer up this divine object that awakened mystical abilities?
And to all the immortals in the Heavenly Court no less!
Do not be fooled by Maitreya Buddha's simple exterior; he was quite astute inside.
