Myth[]
Vajrapāṇi (Sanskrit: "Vajra in [his] hand") is one of the earliest-appearing bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism. He is the protector and guide of Gautama Buddha and rose to symbolize the Buddha’s power.
Vajrapāni is extensively represented in Buddhist iconography as one of the earliest three protective deities or bodhisattvas surrounding the Buddha. Each of them symbolizes one of the Buddha’s virtues: Manjushri manifests all the Buddhas’ wisdom, Avalokiteśvara manifests all the Buddhas’ immense compassion, and Vajrapāni protects Buddha and manifests all the Buddhas’ power as well as the power of all five tathāgatas (Buddhahood of the rank of Buddha).[3][4]
Vajrapāni is one of the earliest Dharmapalas of Mahayana Buddhism and also appears as a deity in the Pali Canon of the Theravada school. He is worshiped in the Shaolin Monastery, in Tibetan Buddhism and in Pure Land Buddhism (where he is known as Mahasthamaprapta and forms a triad with Amitābha and Avalokiteśvara). Manifestations of Vajrapāni can also be found in many Buddhist temples in Japan as Dharma protectors called Nio. Vajrapāni is also associated with Acala (Immovable), who is venerated as Fudō-Myōō in Japan, where he is serenaded as the holder of the vajra.[5]
Appearance[]
He was a bald man that had a height of three meters, a muscular body, and golden skin that can easily defend against any number of 'Heavenly Tribulation Hydrogen Bombs'.[6]
He has a whole body like a muscular cast Vajrapani Buddhist monk statue, muscles of his whole body are exceptionally exaggerating. When looking at him, Song Shuhang has an misconception, as if All Heavens and Myriad Realms of 'muscle’ radiated from this monk's body. Even his eyes can easily withstand an Eternal Life Being's standard attack.[7]
His body is noted to be the 佛门不灭身 (Fómén Bù Miè Shēn) Unextinguished Buddha Body that is top ranked among Eternal Life Beings.[8]
Personality[]
At Alliance headquarters, the Great Master has a habit of sitting or meditating on the open hand of a great golden muscular Vajrapani statue similar to his appearance. He sometimes greets others with Buddhist scriptures or greeting.[9][2] He has a smile that warms the hearts of others.
He also holds deep patience to the level of allowing Song ONE to temporarily possess his Unextinguished Buddha Body and not daring to reopen his legacy during the entire reign of the Eighth Heavenly Way..
He views the Alliance's group name as too foolish and wishes to change it. He also holds a severe grudge against the Eighth Heavenly Way and wishes to destroy its plans of complete restoration. This grudge made him join the Heavenly Way Must Step Down Alliance.[9]
Until the rise of Tyrant Exterminate, the Great Master rarely shown his Eternal Life Being's Moon Wheel Halo out of secrecy and vengence.[2]
As the founder of the Vajrapani Temple's buddhist arts, the Great Master had a simple OCD naming sense and named each technique sets' styles with I, II and III so on...[10][11]
The Great Master is similar to Song Shuhang, sharing his black belly[12], monetary values[13] and kind personality[9][7].
Before the Eighth Heavenly Way[]
The Vajrapāni Temple Great Master has been an Eternal Life Being existing since before the era of the Holy Man. Rare among Eternal Life Beings, the Vajrapāni Temple Great Master had no interest in Vying for the Heavenly Way.
The Great Master founded the Vajrapani Temple and it thrived as a school of body tempering arts, fist arts and cultivating Strength of Karmic Virtue before the ascension of the Eighth Heavenly Way. The arts of the Vajrapani Temple were still remembered as allowing its practitioners to still use the techniques as solid foundations for later cultivation Stages similar to RPG growth skills.
800 years ago (before 2019), the Vajrapani Temple legacy was broken[14] by the will of the Eighth Heavenly Way through its Ruler counterpart's cooperation. The main reason is because the Vajrapani Temple's combat arts extremely bring pain and harm to Fat Ball and its invasion plans' demon minions. If the popular and strong foundation cultivating Vajrapani Temple continued to exist, the Ruler's plans would likely fail and affect the Eighth Heavenly Way's loathing desire to successfully eradicate its pre-Heavenly Way grudges.
Tyrant Song[]
The Great Master watched all of Song Shuhang's sermons.
Song ONE Imitation[]
Battle of Clear Water Pavilion[]
With his permission, Song ONE impersonated the Vajrapāni Temple Great Master to thwart the invading Ancient Heavenly Court survivors in the Battle. However, because of Song ONE's personality and subordinate Eternal Life Beings like the Northern Great Emperor, the imitation was easily exposed.[6][15]
It is later revealed Song ONE borrowed the Great Master's physical body to exhibit less than 100% his abilities.Until luckly encountering on January 1, 2020 Seventh to Eighth Stage transcending Song Shuhang's low divided body, Song ONE intended to borrow the Great Master's Unextinguished Buddha Body to fight with his 5 member Eternal Life Being group against the Son of Heaven.[8]
Beast Realm[]
During a brawling fight between muscular Blue Wave and another muscular body tempering Spirit Venerable, Chu reminisced about Song ONE's imitation of the Vajrapāni Temple Great Master.[16]
White Bone[]
After the years long fight between White Bone and Kun King, Chu projects her meeting with Song ONE during the Battle to White Bone as evidence of his continued existence.[17]

Battle of Ruism[]
During the Battle of Ruism, the Great Master and Daozi witness afar the Holy Man obsession's manifestation. Once noticing Eternal Life Being Daozi beginning to cry, the Great Master immediately set two small jars he retrieved from his chest's clothes underneath the crying man for immeasurable material collecting and Karmic Virtue actions against danger results.[13]

With the rise of the Ninth Heavenly Way, the Vajrapāni Temple Great Master received a Heavenly Way's blessing brand mark that had assistive functions tailored for a Buddhist Eternal Life Being of his rank. He is blessed for being one of many who contributed to both Ninth Heavenly Ways' ascension. After Song Shuhang's rank up to Transcendence, it is possible the Vajrapāni Temple Great Master received an imperishable granule because of his relationship with Shuhang. It is also likely the Great Master reopened his legacy with the assistance of Benevolent Corpse - Tyrant Benevolent.

Song Shuhang in return holds intimacy through his foundation techniques' resonance and attraction to the Vajrapani Temple.[7] The Vajrapāni Temple Great Master is one of the few who knows and believes Tyrant Song's true cultivation history.
He has a desire to teach Shuhang successor techniques from the Vajrapani Temple and guide him to Buddhism by attracting Shuhang with Ruism magecraft.[12] It is due to noticing Shuhang's talent in body tempering arts, fist techniques and abnormally strong Karmic Virtue, main aspects of the Vajrapani Temple's Legacy.
