Ming Zhen bowed and placed his palms together, chanting a sutra softly.
The sutra was not long and only had 59 words and 14 sentences. However, those who heard it could not help but feel delighted, as though all their troubles had been eliminated and there was no resentment or hatred.
The countless vengeful spirits buried beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree that spanned a million kilometers were freed and reborn in paradise.
In midair, phantoms of infants appeared one after another. They looked at Ming Zhen with pure and clear eyes with a hint of gratitude. Childlike smiles appeared on their tender faces once more.
"This little monk is profound in the Buddhist Dharma and has a benevolent heart. He's merely a True Spirit but he managed to create such a scene by chanting the Rebirth Mantra."
Monarch North Kun praised.
Emperor South Roc shook his head gently. "There are too many infants buried here and billions of vengeful spirits are condensed with endless vengeance. This little monk's cultivation realm is not high enough. He definitely won't be able to withstand releasing billions of vengeful spirits."
In reality, that was indeed the case.
As Ming Zhen chanted continuously, his face turned paler.
If he ignored those vengeful spirits and vengeful spirits, there was a chance that some of their grievances would remain in the world and form malevolent spirits that would wreak havoc in the mortal realm.
At the very least, they would have a chance of reincarnation if their souls returned to the world and entered the cycle of reincarnation.
It was way too taxing for Ming Zhen to surpass billions of vengeful spirits. His Essence Spirit was getting weaker and his body was swaying slightly.
However, he had no intention of stopping and his gaze was resolute.
There seemed to be an unshakable determination and conviction in him.
It was a determination that he would not become a Buddha until Hell was empty!
It was a conviction that only by releasing all living beings would he be able to attain Bodhi!
In Tianhuang Mainland, even a peerless genius like Monk Daming would avoid Ming Zhen's gaze unconsciously and lament, "Vajra's glare is incomparable to that of a Bodhisattva. I've finally witnessed it today."
Ming Zhen's understanding of the Buddhist Dharma was clear.
"Namo Amitabha Night …"
Right then, another voice sounded. It was also a recitation of the Rebirth Mantra. Although it was a little sluggish, it was recited completely.
Momo was at the side. When she heard Ming Zhen reciting the Buddhist Dharma, she was filled with emotions and started reciting as well.
Momo did not know Buddhist Dharma nor had she read Buddhist scriptures.
He only had a sincere heart. He hoped that these dead souls could be released and have a good home.
Nian Qi's heart stirred, and she recited it as well.
More and more people helped Ming Zhen recite the sutra to share the burden.
Everyone was only speaking softly, but these little bits of sound continued to gather, finally erupting with an endless power of hope. Buddhist chants reverberated and buddhas manifested, ferrying millions upon millions of souls!
After some time, the chanting gradually died down, and the aura of resentment in the surroundings dissipated.
The sky above Langxiao Palace was usually shrouded in dark clouds all year round, making it difficult to see the sun.
At the same time, the sky above Lang Xiao Palace was clear and the air was clear. The Light of Buddha shone brightly, bringing a hint of warmth to the land.
Ming Zhen's palms were still pressed together and his eyes were closed. His body was bathed in a layer of golden light and a series of halos appeared behind his head. He looked dignified, as though he was about to ascend at the very next moment!
"This is …"
Everyone sensed Ming Zhen's condition and their expressions changed.
He was about to break through!
Prior to this battle, Ming Zhen was only a True Spirit at the Kongming realm.
Even if he broke through, he would only be at the Void realm. However, it was clear that he was about to advance to the Grotto-Heaven realm from the energy fluctuations emanating from Ming Zhen's body!
This was equivalent to him breaking through two cultivation realms consecutively and one of them was even a major cultivation realm!
Emperor North Kun lamented, "Ferrying millions upon millions of souls is an act of boundless merit. The reason why this little monk is able to have such an opportunity is because of the boundless merit he has."
"The concept of merit and virtue is illusory. It has always been untraceable."
Emperor South Roc shook his head gently and smiled. "I think that he's the one who's accumulating his strength."
Boom!
Right then, a tremendous energy fluctuation burst forth from the crowd once more!
A Dao Fruit that shone with a bedazzling brilliance floated out from the consciousness of Scholar Immortal Yun Zhu. Its power rose rapidly and reached its peak before exploding. The surrounding void collapsed and a grotto-heaven appeared vaguely!
Yun Zhu was breaking through and was about to advance to the Grotto-Heaven realm!
Splash!
Right then, the sound of a tsunami could be heard from Nien Qi's body as well. His blood qi surged and his body shone with a resplendent golden light. A Dao Fruit appeared slowly and was accumulating energy continuously.
Nien Qi was preparing to advance to the Grotto-Heaven realm at any moment as well!
A violent energy fluctuation burst forth from the crowd.
Instantly, many cultivators sensed something and broke through.
Emperor North Kun looked at Emperor South Roc and asked with a smile, "Do you still think that the concept of merit is illusory?"
Emperor South Roc shook his head with a bitter smile.
Most of the cultivators who broke through had cultivated for a long time and accumulated experience. For example, Scholar Immortal Yun Zhu, the only reason why she was stuck at the Void realm was because she lacked an opportunity.
But this time round, under Ming Zhen's lead, everyone joined forces and ferried millions upon millions of souls, bestowing boundless merit.
Although merit was illusory, it possessed an indescribable might.
With the addition of merit, many people would obtain an opportunity to break through!
For example, Su Zimo had just attained greater mastery of the Grotto-Heaven realm. Even if he received some merit, his cultivation realm would not change at all.
With the protection of the Imperial Lords, it was the safest place for everyone to break through. They would not be disturbed at all.
Not only that, people like Yun Zhu, Ming Zhen, and Nien Qi had all reached the Grotto-Heaven realm. Although they cultivated different Dao techniques, their Great Daos were similar.
They could gain something from observing each other.
After this matter was over, Su Zimo would bring everyone to the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain to settle the final grudge.
Emperor Jin of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, the Flaming Sun Immortal King, and the Azure Sun Immortal King of the Divine Firmament Palace had joined forces with the Academy Patriarch to kill him back then!
Emperor Jin also had a blood feud with Feng Cantian!
Su Zimo pondered for a moment before looking at Momo beside him. He asked with his Divine Consciousness, "How is Xie Qingcheng of the Flaming Sun Immortal Kingdom after all these years?"
Emperor Jin and the Azure Sun Immortal King were easy to deal with. After all, the Flaming Sun Immortal King was the father of Xie Qingcheng and the Red Rainbow Countess.
Su Zimo had some ties with Xie Qingcheng and the Red Rainbow Countess. If he wanted to take revenge on the Flaming Sun Immortal King, he had to consider the two of them.
At the mention of this matter, Momo couldn't bear it and said, "That Xie Qingcheng is so pitiful. Ever since Young Master's accident, his status as the Spirit Dawn Countess was abolished by his father."
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
Back then, he was the one who helped Xie Qingcheng obtain the status of the Spirit Dawn Countess.
He didn't expect that after his accident, the Flaming Sun Immortal King would immediately fall out with him and abolish Xie Qingcheng's status as the Countess.
Momo continued, "Later on, Xie Qingcheng went to ask the Flaming Sun Immortal King about Young Master's matter. During that time, he contradicted the Flaming Sun Immortal King and angered him. He crippled his cultivation and sent him to prison!"
Su Zimo's face darkened.
He had long heard that because Xie Qingcheng's mother was born in the lower realm, he didn't have a good relationship with the Flaming Sun Immortal King and was never valued.
He didn't expect the Flaming Sun Immortal King to be so ruthless!
Just because he contradicted him a few times, he was so ruthless!
In the heart of the Flaming Sun Immortal King, he probably never saw Xie Qingcheng as his own flesh and blood.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so heartless!
