Anger, helplessness, hesitation, pain … All kinds of emotions tormented Tang Zheng. Fortunately, his nerves were strong enough. Otherwise, in this desolate place, he would have broken down.
He had someone he cared about in his heart, so naturally, he would not break down so easily. He had to find a way to leave this damned place.
He had already tried many methods, but none of them worked.
"The sea of bitterness is boundless, turn back to the shore …" He kept repeating this sentence, certain that the mystery was in this sentence.
But how to turn back was a big problem.
"Could the answer be in the Ksitigarbha Sutra?"
He had an idea, and his mouth naturally began to recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra, Sanskrit after Sanskrit words came out of his mouth.
The golden light emitted by the Sanskrit words dyed the sea of bitterness golden. The golden light rippled, as if he was in a golden world.
The Ksitigarbha Sutra was recited over and over again. More and more Sanskrit words appeared, falling into the sea and disappearing.
He was very familiar with the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
As the saying goes, reading a hundred times will reveal its meaning. When he recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra over and over again, he was more and more convinced that the Ksitigarbha Sutra was the key to leaving the sea of bitterness.
He recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra tirelessly. More and more Sanskrit words flew out of his mouth, surrounding his entire body.
After a while, he became a golden man, completely surrounded by Sanskrit words, shining with golden light.
He simply closed his eyes, but he "saw" the golden light penetrate his skin bit by bit, drilling into his body.
His body only had one main meridian, the eight main meridians were completely destroyed. His body structure was very different from ordinary people.
The golden light penetrated his skin, muscles, and bones, and merged into the only main meridian left. After a while, the main meridian was also dyed in gold.
Boom!
Suddenly, the energy in the meridian became violent.
Back then, he absorbed the energy of the nine souls of the Golden Crow. Although with Li Xiaotian's pure Yin energy, he succeeded in harmonizing the pure Yang energy.
But this energy was not completely refined, it was only temporarily stored in the body.
When the golden light rushed in, it clashed with the energy, and both sides became restless.
The two energies clashed, both trying to suppress the other.
Tang Zheng let out a low roar of pain. Of course, he wouldn't just stand by and watch them run amok. He immediately urged his True Qi and aggressively rushed over.
The three energies clashed and entangled with each other, and the situation immediately changed dramatically.
The true energy and the Golden Crow energy did not repel each other. Instead, they cooperated with each other. The Golden Crow energy threw away its armor and fled in all directions.
The two energies chased after each other, refining the Golden Crow's energy. The Golden Crow's energy fled even faster, but the meridians were only so big. In the end, the Golden Crow's energy could not escape.
The refined Golden Crow energy turned into two types of energy. One was true energy, and the other was golden energy.
This golden energy was born from the Ksitigarbha Sutra. It was a type of Buddhist energy. As it increased, the golden light on Tang Zheng's body became more and more intense.
Tang Zheng's cultivation had already reached the ninth stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. He was only one step away from the Great Realization Realm. As the true energy in his body increased, there were signs of him breaking through this threshold.
He was extremely happy. This was really a blessing in disguise. Although he was trapped in the sea of suffering, if his cultivation improved, there was no doubt that he would have a greater chance of escaping this sea of suffering.
However, his joy did not last long. This was because when the true energy increased and seemed to be about to break through the limit, the golden energy suddenly exploded. It actually suppressed the true energy, causing it to be unable to grow any further.
On the contrary, the golden energy seemed to have gone crazy as it rapidly grew. In an instant, Tang Zheng's internal organs and eight extraordinary meridians were completely occupied by the golden energy. The true energy and the Golden Crow's energy were all pushed to a corner.
Tang Zheng was dumbfounded. What was going on? Why was the golden energy so strong?
He hurriedly urged his energy, and the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll quickly began to circulate. At the same time, the Heavenly Book also began to circulate quietly.
The Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll was the general outline of the Heavenly Book. When the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll was completed, the Heavenly Book would naturally circulate in succession.
The Heavenly Book was a supreme technique that allowed one to peek into the Heavenly Dao and become a Heavenly Emperor. It was a technique that only the Heavenly Emperors of each generation could cultivate.
Its power could be imagined.
Suddenly, the true energy seemed to have changed, and it actually stopped the trend of being defeated.
With the circulation of the Heavenly Book, the power of the true energy increased greatly. It actually counterattacked and forced the golden energy to stop.
The two completely different energies went from cooperating to confronting each other. All of these changes were too mysterious.
Tang Zheng was dazzled. For a moment, he could not guess the profound meaning of this change or what it meant.
However, the true energy had stopped the trend of being defeated, which made him very relieved. After all, this was the result of his countless years of cultivation. Of course, he did not want to be defeated by the golden energy.
He did not know that these two completely different energies were of different attributes. The true energy belonged to the Heavenly Way, which was abbreviated as Dao Energy. The other was the power of Buddhism, which was abbreviated as Buddhist Energy.
The Buddhist Energy and the Dao Energy seemed to directly regard each other as opponents. They were confronting each other and did not give in at all. They both wanted to defeat each other.
This was also because Tang Zheng was big enough and did not investigate the reason. If the Dizang Of Goguryeo saw this scene, he would definitely investigate deeply.
It turned out that Dao and Buddhism were incompatible.
When the Dao Energy and the Buddhist Energy collided, they both refined the Golden Crow's energy and replenished themselves. Tang Zheng's body became the battlefield.
For a moment, his mind was completely immersed, as if he had forgotten that he was in a sea of suffering.
In the World of Spirits and Souls, earth-shaking changes were happening rapidly.
When the Dizang Of Goguryeo returned again, everything had changed. He was no longer silently delivering all living beings.
Instead, he was making a big fuss.
Although Song Jiangwang's little trick was seen through, the Dizang Of Goguryeo still selflessly gave him the power to become the right-hand man of the Dizang Of Goguryeo.
Song Jiangwang became his emissary to deliver all living beings from torment. Wherever the emissary went, the power of Buddha rippled, and batch after batch of ghosts were converted, becoming the most loyal followers of Ksitigarbha.
Li Xiaotian looked on coldly, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.
However, the Dizang Of Goguryeo did not want her to stay out of it. He actually taught her the Ksitigarbha Sutra and made her an emissary to spread his beliefs and Buddhism for him.
Li Xiaotian originally refused, but when she thought about how she was now weak and was just a ghost, if she did not cultivate, she would not be able to help Tang Zheng.
Therefore, she changed her mind and practiced the Ksitigarbha Sutra diligently.
The Dizang Of Goguryeo did not hide anything. He guided her in the cultivation of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
The Ksitigarbha Sutra was not the same as ordinary cultivation techniques. It focused on epiphany. Before epiphany, there was no specific cultivation level.
Once epiphany, powerful cultivation would come uninvited. This was just like the Dizang Of Goguryeo, who directly advanced to the Mahayana Realm after an epiphany.
Although Li Xiaotian cultivated the Ksitigarbha Sutra, she did not work for the Dizang Of Goguryeo in good faith. She did not do her best to spread Buddhism for him.
On the contrary, the followers of the Dizang Of Goguryeo who followed her spared no effort in spreading the news. She was like a bystander, witnessing the increase of the Dizang Of Goguryeo's followers little by little.
Many a little makes a mickle, and water makes a sea. These followers gathered into an ocean, and the belief that all living beings were equal was deeply rooted in their hearts.
This spread was very successful. Without the obstruction of the Ten Kings of Hell, it was almost like a spark of fire starting a prairie fire.
Li Xiaotian witnessed all of this, but her belief was not shaken in the slightest.
All of this seemed to indicate that in the next moment, all living beings would be equal in the World of Spirits and Souls, and everyone would be followers of the Dizang Of Goguryeo.
Song Jiangwang was in despair. It seemed that he had underestimated the influence of the Dizang Of Goguryeo and the power of the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
Once the spread was complete, his life would come to an end.
However, he was helpless. Under the eyes of the followers of the Dizang Of Goguryeo, there was no way to stop all of this. Even slacking off would not have much effect.
The Dizang Of Goguryeo seemed to believe that success was imminent.
However, things did not go as planned, and a turning point appeared.
An opposing force appeared out of nowhere. This force not only had vested interests in the original World of Spirits and Souls, but also the most ordinary ghost citizens.
The World of Spirits and Souls did not only have vested interests like the Ten Kings of Hell, but there were vested interests in every class.
Although most of them were converted, a small number of them finally chose to rebel.
This rebel force and the converted force had a fierce confrontation, and both sides suffered casualties. This immediately thwarted the Dizang Of Goguryeo's plan.
This was also like a spark of fire. At the beginning, other rebel forces also emerged and fought fiercely with the followers.
The World of Spirits and Souls was in chaos.
This was completely beyond the expectations of the Dizang Of Goguryeo.
However, he was not angry because he firmly believed that the rebel forces were just a flash in the pan, and he would eventually achieve the final victory.
He had to achieve the final victory.
Song Jiangwang was overjoyed. He almost jumped up and cheered. This was what he had dreamt of. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the resistance forces could hold on a little longer and not be destroyed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
In fact, Song Jiangwang did not believe that the rebel forces would be useful. At most, they were just stalling for time.
As long as the Dizang Of Goguryeo struck, they would definitely fall apart and suffer a crushing defeat.
Li Xiaotian was different. When she heard about the rebel forces, her heart was set. This meant that her judgment was the same.
No matter how powerful the Dizang Of Goguryeo was, it was impossible for him to convert every single one of them and destroy every single rebel force.
Humans were different individuals and had their own personalities. The World of Spirits and Souls was no exception. Therefore, to unify everyone's thoughts, there might be a certain degree of success, but it would never be a complete success.
This was a truth that went against the laws and human nature, and had been tested by countless history.
Li Xiaotian cultivated the Ksitigarbha Sutra. She did not believe in the philosophy of the Dizang Of Goguryeo, but she did not reject the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
The Ksitigarbha Sutra was a scripture, and naturally, it was all-inclusive. It also had the concept of salvation and equality. She absorbed it selectively and actually benefited a lot.
The Dizang Of Goguryeo did not sit idly by. He saw that there were more and more signs of resistance, especially in the wilderness outside the cities, there were especially many rebel forces.
