The Eastern Temple holds extraordinary significance for the Buddhist Sect; after all, it is the Taoist Arena of Maitreya, the Future Buddha!
Although it does not quite match the status of the Great Thunder Monastery, it is only slightly inferior.
However, with the fall of Maitreya Buddha, transformed into Maitreya, the status of the Eastern Temple naturally plummeted!
Despite his status as Future Buddha being unrevoked by the two Sage Sect Masters, his cultivation level fell to that of a Daluo Golden Immortal, memory lost, and his temperament changed completely...
So, from a fundamental perspective, is the current Maitreya really the same as the former Maitreya Buddha?
This issue is indeed quite ambiguous.
