"The sea of bitterness is boundless, turn back to the shore before it is too late. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha. This is what the Buddha said. All life has a Buddhist nature. Good and evil, turning back and clinging to it, it is all in a single thought. If one's heart turns to Buddha, one can become a Buddha with one thought! "
Suddenly, boundless Buddhist chanting rang out in the surroundings of the Sea of Oblivion, merciful and merciful, calling for all life to turn back and become a Buddha.
When the Buddhist chanting entered Xiao Chen's ears, a seed appeared in his heart.
All the evil deeds he had done in his life turned into a clinging thought in his mind, inflicting unbearable pain.
That seed turned into a benevolent old monk sitting in a lotus flower, materializing a world of bliss. The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was created. There was joy everywhere and the light of Buddha shone brightly. There was no pain or torture.
This startled Xiao Chen. This was to purify him, turning him into an idiotic follower. If he really listened to this Buddhist chanting and turned back, everything in the past would vanish like smoke. Losing himself would be even more horrifying than death.
The purple Lightning Talisman above Xiao Chen's head quickly entered his sea of consciousness and shattered all the evil thoughts. The planted seed also disappeared.
"Huang dang!"
After losing the protection of the will of thunder, Xiao Chen felt the world spin around him. It was like he fell from a tall cliff. When his feet landed firmly on the ground, he discovered that he was standing on Qing Cheng's Specter Ship.
"Xiao Chen, why are you here?!"
Qing Cheng, who was at the bow of the ship, asked in shock. Her voice also contained a trace of unexpected joy.
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. Right now, he was probably like Qing Cheng, his body shrunk countless times.
At this moment, the Buddhist chanting still lingered. Xiao Chen could not leave even if he brought out the will of thunder again. He could only speak to Qing Cheng and wait for an opportunity to leave.
When Qing Cheng heard what Xiao Chen said, she could not help but turn pale. It turned out that everything that happened earlier was just walking on the spot. There was no way to cross this sea of bitterness.
Qing Cheng said coldly, "This Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva is really capable. He is trapped in this land of reincarnation, blocking the path of hope. He is no different from a bandit trying to take advantage of the situation."
Xiao Chen thought about it and agreed. Since Hell had been destroyed, the evil spirits in Hell would naturally want to reincarnate and become human again.
But this guy just had to die and block this place, causing people to be unable to cross this sea of bitterness for the rest of their lives. Then, he took the opportunity to preach about Buddhism, enlighten all living beings, and recruit followers.
To put it nicely, he swore not to become a Buddha until hell was empty.
"It's fine. I'll bring you out after his Buddhist voice fades away," Xiao Chen said calmly.
However, Qing Cheng shook her head resolutely, "You should go. I'm not going back. I must personally see the cycle of reincarnation shatter. Otherwise, I will not give up."
Xiao Chen's expression flickered as he thought of something. "You want to resurrect someone through reincarnation, don't you? The Six Daos have already been shattered, reincarnation no longer exists. This is impossible. "
Qing Cheng countered with a question, "Did you see it for yourself? Since I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it means that there's still hope. As long as there's a trace of hope, I won't give up. "
Xiao Chen said calmly, "I only believe in this life, not the next. Even if I see it with my own eyes, I won't believe it."
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a resplendent saber light appeared in the sky, illuminating this black-and-white world with many colors. The instant that saber light froze, it was like time and space were behind it.
All the Buddhist chants vanished in an instant. The Withered Skeleton Evil Ghost that was struggling in the sea of bitterness suddenly became quiet, no longer screaming.
The saber light flashed and instantly entered the headless Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva's back. The world turned black and white again.
"What kind of saber light is this? How is it that even the might of the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva could not block it? It easily pierced through it," Xiao Chen muttered to himself. Although he felt excited, he still could not understand it.
Qing Cheng said, "This is the saber light that the Qing Emperor left behind ten thousand years ago. The Qing Emperor was the one who chopped off the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva's head. This is hope. If the six paths of reincarnation no longer exist, why would the Qing Emperor put in so much effort to fight this Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva? "
Could the saber light from ten thousand years ago illuminate the entire Yellow Springs River?
The Buddhist voice had already faded. If Xiao Chen wanted to leave, all he had to do was take out the will of thunder that contained his Great Perfection saber soul and leave the sea of bitterness. There was no need to struggle here.
However, when Xiao Chen saw the stunning saber light that flashed by, he was certain that the Qing Emperor had chopped off the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva's head.
Xiao Chen's heart wavered. Just because he did not want to think about some things did not mean that he did not want to know the answer.
"What's wrong? The Buddhist voice has already faded. Are you not going to leave?" Qing Cheng asked with a smile.
Xiao Chen replied calmly, "I'm not leaving. You don't have to leave either. Wait for a while. I'll bring you through this headless bald donkey."
Qing Cheng's eyes lit up. She said, "You have a way?"
"Just wait." Xiao Chen did not reply. He sat cross-legged at the bow of the warship and cultivated calmly, waiting for that saber light to arrive again.
When that saber light arrived earlier, the Blue Dragon in the Universe Ring stirred restlessly. Whether it was as he guessed or not, he would be able to find out once more.
When Qing Cheng saw the situation, she could only helplessly sit beside Xiao Chen. She took out a green pearl and stared at it in a daze.
A strand of soul was fixed in the transparent pearl, maintaining a leaping posture.
Although the Ghost Race had the ability to collect souls after death, they did not have the ability to resurrect people. They could only refine all sorts of combat-type souls. Furthermore, after refining a soul, it would not be the original soul. It would just lose its intelligence and memories.
"Who is this person? Is she someone you want to resurrect?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked as he opened his eyes and looked at Qing Cheng.
A nostalgic expression appeared on Qing Cheng's beautiful face. "This is my mother. When she died, I was only six years old. My master kept her soul after she died. However, he could not bring her back to life.
"I've wanted to come to the Yellow Springs Road for a long time already. However, I could not make up my mind. I kept finding excuses for myself, saying that Last Breath Lake is too dangerous and that I should go when I am stronger.
"Haha! Actually, I know this myself. I'm just afraid of this final hope shattering, not daring to face it. If not for you wanting to come to the Yellow Springs Road, I do not know when I would be able to take this step. There are some things that I have to see for myself before I can feel at ease. "
Xiao Chen could hear the sadness in Qing Cheng's voice. She also knew that even if he crossed this sea of bitterness, all that awaited him was a sad ending.
However, as she said, there were some things that he had to see for himself before he could feel at ease.
"Three Life Stone, Soul Returning Grass, and Paramita Flower. You collected these to revive the Item Spirit, right?" Qing Cheng asked Xiao Chen, changing the topic.
Seeing Xiao Chen's somewhat surprised expression, Qing Cheng smiled and said, "Don't find it strange. This secret technique actually originated from my Ghost Race. Unfortunately, it is useless on living creatures.
"However, based on your expression, you do not seem to be very happy. Didn't you already collect all three items?"
Unexpectedly, this Qing Cheng was so observant. Xiao Chen answered honestly, "I missed the timing. I did not expect that I would have to walk the Yellow Springs Road for three months."
Xiao Chen's original plan was to collect the three items and return within three months. That way, he would be able to participate in the Saber School Ranking competition and obtain the ten-thousand-year-old Flame Crystal, successfully reviving Ao Jiao.
After that, it would be the King conferral ceremony in another two months. Everything was going according to plan.
However, who could have imagined that just the Yellow Springs Road would take three months? Adding on the one month before that, the Saber School Ranking competition would definitely start.
Xiao Chen would definitely not be able to obtain the ten-thousand-year-old Flame Crystal. He did not know how to inform Situ Leihong.
Qing Cheng smiled and said, "In that case, it looks like you are in some trouble. Situ Leihong is a very difficult person to talk to. He does not even give face to a Sovereign Martial Emperor."
Xiao Chen did not feel confident. If he had no other choice, he could only ask the Sect Master to personally make a trip.
"The sea of bitterness is boundless. Repent and the shore is at hand …"
The Buddhist chanting rang out once more. The many Skeleton Phantoms in the sea of bitterness all struggled and roared in pain.
However, Xiao Chen, who was on the Specter Ship, had been waiting for a long time already. As he resisted the torture of the Buddhist chanting, he waited quietly in anticipation.
The saber light that illuminated the entire Yellow Springs Road appeared once more, shattering the Buddhist chanting and illuminating this black-and-white world with many colors again.
The Blue Dragon Medallion in the Universe Ring started trembling intensely again. Without saying anything, Xiao Chen grabbed the Blue Dragon Medallion with a flip of his hand.
"Whoosh!"
A strong light shot out. Xiao Chen and Qing Cheng closed their eyes at the same time. When they opened their eyes again, they were shocked to discover that the saber light was no longer there. Instead, the Blue Dragon Medallion became dazzling.
The Blue Dragon Medallion lit up the surrounding one hundred meters with many colors. It was a stark contrast to the black-and-white world on the sea.
Unexpectedly, the Qing Emperor's Medallion sucked in that saber light that had existed for ten thousand years.
At the same time, Qing Cheng was shocked to discover that the Skeleton Phantoms beside the Specter Ship earlier were now as small as ants.
The distance between the two and the headless Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva was no longer endless. There were only five kilometers left. This would not take much time for the two.
"Let's go. I'll bring you over."
The Specter Ship carried the two into the air and flew. The five kilometers were covered in less than the time it took to brew a pot of tea.
When the two got closer, they discovered that blood flowed continuously from the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva's head. The sea of bitterness before them was made of the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva's blood.
When the two saw this, they could not help but feel horrified, their hair standing on end.
After flying past the headless Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, the other party's might vanished. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and grasped the Blue Dragon Medallion above his head. He revealed a smile on his face.
No matter what, this unexpected harvest of saber light was indeed a big surprise.
In the future, if Xiao Chen met with an opponent he could not defeat, he could use this saber light to defeat the Blue Robed Emperor.
Behind the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva were the six paths of reincarnation. There were six huge, shattered whirlpools. Each whirlpool represented a cycle of reincarnation.
From the right, they were the Heavenly Dao, the Asura Dao, the Human Dao, the Animal Dao, the Hungry Ghost Dao, and the Hell Dao.
Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. The six paths of reincarnation were shattered beyond recognition. There was no way to reincarnate. The worry in his heart vanished.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to say something, he saw Qing Cheng walk over to the whirlpool representing the Heavenly Dao and toss in the pearl containing her mother's soul.
"You … this is …" Xiao Chen felt confused.
The shattering of the six paths of reincarnation did not seem to affect Dao Qing Cheng. She smiled and said, "Consider it a thought. According to rumor, after one enters the Heavenly Dao, they can be reborn in the Immortal World. They can leave their mortal bodies and not suffer the pain of the six paths of reincarnation."
