Under the sea of blood, several streams of light shuttled back and forth, crushing the ferocious beasts of the sea of blood into powder.
A large number of Asura clansmen gathered everywhere and looked outside the sea of blood. At that moment, they did not dare to show their heads.
Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, the Goddess of Golden Spirit, Fairy Yun Xiao, and Perfected Yu Ding. The auras of the five experts suppressed the entire sea of blood. If they discovered any Asura experts approaching, they would retreat or kill them directly.
At the edge of the sea of blood, Li Changshou sat cross-legged on a cloud.
He was a little worried and troubled.
In front of him was a thirty-feet-tall pagoda. The pagoda was still 360 levels, but it was already dim. Cracks had appeared at the base.
Beneath him were large phantoms that looked like willow catkins in spring. They were at a loss and lost their spiritual light. There were less than seven days left.
It should be said that they were even more fragile than willow catkins.
Just as Lao Dao of the Western Sect, who had lost his mind, had said, 80% of the souls there would not be able to last for seven days. Due to the many years of "delay", if the True Spirit did not have the nourishment of living beings, it would be about to shatter …
Reincarnation was their only way to survive.
At that moment, the path in front of Li Changshou was mostly broken.
Fortunately, although the sea of blood was the place where the dirty springs converged, and the turbid power was showing a tendency to sink, it was not too harmful to the soul.
Why didn't he throw them into the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
The Six Paths of Reincarnation were not simply throwing souls into the Reincarnation Disc.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Book of Life and Death, and the Judge's Brush were a complete reincarnation system. Souls had to walk on it before they could reincarnate.
That way, there would always be an upper limit.
No matter how he deduced, the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation could only reincarnate ten percent of the souls there.
Moreover, the Six Paths of Reincarnation had already been blocked …
However, the Reincarnation Pagoda was different. It was divided into 360 levels. There were no restrictions on the Book of Life and Death. Each level could be used as a "path". The place of reincarnation was the various Burning Incense Divine Kingdoms.
If the Western Sect controlled the Reincarnation Pagoda and merged into the reincarnation system, it would be equivalent to completely controlling the Burning Incense Divine Kingdoms.
Now, the Western Sect's plan had been destroyed.
Li Changshou had already represented the Celestial Court and negotiated the conditions with the Saint of the Western Sect.
But unexpectedly …
A retarded Lao Dao was enough to make them the loser of this battle.
Once again, it proved that [0.2], which Li Changshou had been afraid of, really existed.
At this moment, the Primordial World was still extremely dangerous.
At the same time, the Goddess of Golden Spirit had attacked in anger, but she had only killed Lao Dao. Half of Lao Dao's essence soul had been saved by the Western Sect.
But this guy's fate should be incomparably miserable …
The Reincarnation Pagoda was shattered by the people of the Western Sect. These souls were schemed against by the people of the Western Sect. Moreover, they were all the main characters of the world, the human race.
As long as they were allowed to dissipate, they would become a negative karma of the Western Sect.
The Western Sect had long entered the calamity. Today, the Heavenly Dao had just taken advantage of the situation and schemed against the Western Sect. Anyone from the Western Sect who appeared today would have to bear this negative karma.
With so many living beings and human souls, he did not know if the twelfth-grade Gold Lotus could withstand it.
However …
The Heavenly Dao was heartless.
The souls of so many humans could be casually used as a catalyst to push the Western Sect into the calamity.
In the corner of his heart, he muttered softly, 'It's really unbalanced.'
He activated his clear Dao heart and entered the moment of a sage. A few Dao runes circled around Li Changshou as he sat there and pondered quietly.
That question was really difficult to solve.
A white figure flew over from the side. Her skirt and long hair fluttered slightly as she landed behind Li Changshou.
Li Changshou asked, "Where are the people from the Western Sect?"
Yun Xiao said softly, "They have already left the Netherworld. They said that they will return to the spiritual mountain to think of a countermeasure, but there's no need to count on them."
"These fellows." Li Changshou pursed his lips. "If they don't face the tribulation, the heavens will not tolerate it!
The Lord Sage … "
"They should have left," Fairy Yun Xiao said. "Master and the others don't want to fight the Heavenly Dao directly."
Li Changshou raised his hand and wiped his face. He sat there and fell into deep thought.
Yun Xiao sighed softly and pressed her slender fingers gently on Li Changshou's shoulder. "Don't force yourself too much. There are times when one's strength is exhausted. There are many things in the world that Saints can't do."
"Let's wait for Senior Brother Taiyi to return."
As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, faint ripples appeared in the universe beside him. Two figures flew out of the ripples.
Perfected Taiyi had already changed into a light pink Daoist robe. He looked even more dazzling.
Yun Zhongzi walked over quickly from behind. When the Golden God of Fortune Source saw that scene, his body trembled.
"Ah, why did the Western Sect commit such a sin!?!"
"Senior Brother." Li Changshou stood up and bowed. "Senior Brother, you're good at refining artifacts. Please take a look and see if the Reincarnation Pagoda can be repaired."
Yun Zhongzi bowed and returned the greeting. He took two steps forward and sat in front of the pagoda to consider carefully.
Perfected Taiyi walked over with his hands behind his back. It was rare for him to be serious.
He pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Changgeng, what do you plan to do?
The souls here can be the negative karma of the Western Sect. After we discuss the God-Conferment, the Great Tribulation will descend. More than half of the Western Sect will definitely die. "
Li Changshou pursed his lips and continued to ponder.
Perfected Taiyi said, "No one will blame you if you don't do anything now. In fact, you have already contributed greatly to the Dao Sect.
Besides, what can we do?
These souls are already extremely weak. I just tried using merit. Even the most gentle Heavenly Dao merit cannot withstand a wisp of it. At that moment, they are like … willow catkins.
Apart from letting them reincarnate, there's no other way to save them. The Western Sect's considerations in this regard are very comprehensive. "
Li Changshou said, "But it's better than doing nothing."
Yun Zhongzi said, "The spirit of the pagoda has been destroyed. There are a total of 326,000 restrictions around it. It will take at least a few months to figure out these restrictions."
Li Changshou raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He said softly, "Senior Brother, please think of another solution."
"Alright." Yun Zhongzi agreed. Wisps of golden light emitted from his forehead and covered the pagoda.
Li Changshou turned around and asked, "Is anyone from the Western Sect willing to come over?"
Perfected Taiyi cursed, "Are you still counting on them? Now, these guys must be thinking about how to get away with it! "
"The Western Sect is unreliable," Li Changshou said softly. "They don't care about the living beings in the first place.
Don't forget the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom.
Their thoughts are very simple. No matter how many negative karma there are, there won't be much if they share it. They can use their incense offerings and merit to quickly wash it away. "
A cold voice rang out.
"We should start a massacre."
As he spoke, Five-colored Divine Light bloomed from the sky. Kong Xuan rushed over at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, he resolved his momentum and slowly landed in front of Li Changshou.
"The Shang Clan's luck is not enough," Kong Xuan said. "It's hard for them to help."
The atmosphere became even more oppressive.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and sat down to continue thinking.
Saving was equivalent to helping the Western Sect.
However, the difficulty was how to save him.
The soul there was so weak that it could not withstand any torment. Daoist Duobao had tried to put his soul into the Dharma treasure that nourished his essence soul. Thirty percent of it had died.
Yun Xiao pursed her lips. "If I use the power of these souls to protect my True Spirit and reincarnate with my True Spirit …
That's not right. Their True Spirits are damaged now. "
Kong Xuan said calmly, "When the Western Sect schemed against this matter, they must have only left the path of reincarnation."
"We only have seven days."
Li Changshou rubbed his eyebrows. "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, please discuss it together."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft sigh floated out from the bracelet on Li Changshou's wrist. A shadow slowly condensed, scaring Perfected Taiyi so much that he almost jumped out.
The shadow looked to be in his twenties. His long hair was tied up and he was dressed in a light blue Daoist robe. As soon as he appeared, he could not stand steadily and looked like he wanted to fall. He was naturally Little Grief.
Tears flickered in her eyes as she said miserably,
"I'm too miserable!
There are clearly seven of them, but they asked me to pass the message … Everyone. "
Little Grief's voice suddenly changed and became much more stable. Naturally, the Lady of Earth had used Little Grief's mouth to communicate with them.
"Do you have a good plan?"
Li Changshou could not help but be silent. He lowered his head and did not say anything.
The Lady of Earth sighed softly and turned to look at the layers of human souls above the sea of blood. Two drops of tears fell from her eyes.
However, the Lady of Earth did not say anything. She only sighed softly and said, "In two days, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc will have a gap. Save as many as you can.
Changgeng, don't be troubled. You have already done a lot. "
After saying that, the Lady of Earth turned around and bowed slightly to Li Changshou before flying back to the grass ring.
Li Changshou hurriedly returned the greeting. He knew that the Goddess did not want to give them pressure.
Perfected Taiyi asked again, "What do you mean, Teachers?"
Yun Xiao answered, "Master is definitely not a Saint who will watch others die and turn a blind eye to the suffering of all living beings. If we want to attack, we can."
"Senior Brother, let's call everyone over for a discussion."
A thought flashed across Li Changshou's mind. However, the thought disappeared too quickly and he could not catch it.
Not long after, streams of light flew back. The nine immortals and Yun Zhongzi, who had just been invited, discussed the matter.
After discussing for a long time, they came up with something that Li Changshou had said previously.
Do your best.
…
In a lonely corner of the heavy array formations on the spiritual mountain, Ksitigarbha sat cross-legged under the tree.
Ksitigarbha sat cross-legged under the tree. Beside him, Truth Listener used its long tail and body to conceal Ksitigarbha's figure. Occasionally, leaves would fall from its head.
The tree was gradually withering.
Beside the spiritual pool in the distance, a group of disciples of the Western Sect were gloomy. From an hour ago, the disciples who were usually close to Lao Dao, "Shi Lezhi", were cursing Lao Dao the most fiercely.
They were naturally thinking of countermeasures. However, they only said a few words about the consequences of that matter before falling silent.
"We have the merit of incense offerings to protect us. Actually, there's no need to worry."
With the old Daoist priest saying that, most of the old Daoists' expressions eased a little.
Ksitigarbha lowered his head and looked at the prayer beads in his hand. He was a little lost in thought.
Truth Listener muttered, "Master, don't think about it. The Great Lord Sage is on your side. That's enough.
In the future, cultivate in peace. Even if the Western Sect loses troops in the Great Tribulation, Master will still be able to live. "
"When did it become like this?"
Ksitigarbha muttered to himself.
A fallen leaf landed in his palm, causing Ksitigarbha's eyes to flicker.
"Why is the Dao Sect the main character of the world and the Western Sect is just a supporting character? Teacher, I will definitely make the Western Sect prosper! "
"The Dao Sect disdains to manage the trichiliocosm. However, if we take root and develop believers, we can use this to condense incense offerings and merit. We can also educate the human race."
"Second Teacher, leave a way out. We can use the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom to control the entire Major Chiliocosm. This is not compatible with the Heavenly Dao …"
】
"Truth Listener, how many living beings are there in the sea of blood this time?"
"I can't calculate in detail. Because this matter has been planned for too long, these souls have accumulated for a long time," Truth Listener said via voice transmission. "It's about equivalent to the total number of humans in the sixty Major Chiliocosm."
"Sixty …"
Ksitigarbha slowly clenched his fist and crushed the withered leaf in his hand.
Truth Listener said, "Master, don't worry. The Lord Sage will definitely not ignore this matter."
"It was clearly the Heavenly Dao who attacked just now. If the two teachers interfere directly, they will be treated as confronting the Heavenly Dao.
Teacher's attack is probably to stabilize the twelfth-grade Gold Lotus. "
"Even the Saint can't do anything. What can you do, Master?"
"I …"
Ksitigarbha paused and sighed dejectedly. He supported his forehead with both hands and lowered his head in silence.
His expression was exactly the same as Li Changshou's on the sea of blood.
A moment ago, Daoist Duobao said,
"Changgeng, I know you can't bear to do it, but we might as well not do it. Just as you said, we can do our best and have a clear conscience. There's no need to force ourselves.
This is a variable. It's difficult to be comprehensive. "
"Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi also said that the pearl shattered strangely. The surrounding restrictions were not destroyed, but the Reincarnation Pearl shattered itself."
"Be careful with your words."
"Everyone." Li Changshou lowered his head and held his forehead. His two index fingers gently scratched his glabella. "I …"
Two soft sighs were heard above the sea of blood and under the spiritual mountain tree.
Then, there was a long silence.
The silence was because he was thinking.
He was thinking because he did not want to go with the flow and did not want to believe in the so-called "destiny".
'What can I do? '
Li Changshou asked and Ksitigarbha searched.
On the spiritual mountain, Truth Listener swung its tail gently, as if it was chasing away the surrounding mosquitoes. It also seemed to be signaling for the Lao Dao beside the spiritual pool not to disturb it.
On the sea of blood, Yun Xiao sighed softly and whispered,
"Eldest Senior Brother, please go to Fengdu City with my big brother first and suppress those fierce souls. Let's free up the Six Paths of Reincarnation as soon as possible."
"Sure!"
Duobao agreed and turned into a stream of light with Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit. They shot towards Fengdu City.
Yun Xiao continued, "I'll continue to wait here. Please go to the sea of blood again. Don't let the ferocious beasts in the sea of blood harm living beings."
Kong Xuan cupped his hands and sent a voice transmission. "Don't worry. Just take good care of Changgeng.
He's from the human race and has never seen the tragic state of living beings when the Great Tribulation descends. I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand this scene. "
"Yes." Yun Xiao nodded slightly. "Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist."
Liuguang became Liuguang. The people who had gathered here to discuss the matter to no avail dispersed once again. They went about their own business and did what they could.
Half a day later.
The sky of the Netherworld seemed to be getting lower. The sea of blood was silent. The helpless lonely souls wandered numbly, as if they wanted to drown the sea of blood.
Li Changshou slowly heaved a sigh of relief. The confusion and hesitation in his eyes disappeared.
He muttered, "I can still do something."
Yun Xiao asked gently, "Can you discuss it with me?"
"It's just some ideas. I'm not sure if I can do it." Li Changshou stood up. "No matter what, it's better than waiting here. The longer I wait, the longer I have.
I'll go to the Fire Cloud Cave and return in two hours.
Two hours later, please call Senior Brother and the others back. I want to discuss something important. "
"Yes." There was a faint smile on Yun Xiao's lips. "Don't leave any regrets for your Dao heart."
"Definitely."
Li Changshou's body was wrapped in the Taiji Painting. He jumped into the realm outside the painting and rushed from the Netherworld to the five continents.
An hour later, Li Changshou rushed in in front of the Fire Cloud Cave.
A moment later, Li Changshou and a burly man dressed in a fisherman's attire walked out quickly!
Li Changshou used the Taiji Painting to open the Void Gate and rushed to the sea of blood with Emperor Da Yu!
At the spiritual mountain, Ksitigarbha released his palm. Fine ashes scattered out. The confusion in his eyes disappeared, and the light in them flickered continuously.
He understood. He had completely comprehended it.
This was a tribulation.
This was the tribulation of the Western Sect. It was a tribulation sent by the Heavenly Dao. However, it was also an opportunity for the Western Sect!
The Saint was still playing and scheming!
Those living beings were the focus of the Saint's game. The Saint's silence was waiting for his disciples to stand up.
Would the Water God give up on those living beings?
No, definitely not. No matter how dirty this fellow's heart was, he had a sense of belonging to the human race. He, the Water God, would definitely not ignore the souls of the human race in the sixty Major Chiliocosms!
Ksitigarbha suddenly stood up and walked forward.
Truth Listener trembled and hurriedly said, "Master, what are you doing? Stay here obediently. "
"Shut up!"
Ksitigarbha shouted softly and looked at the group of Lao Dao. He continued to walk forward and said loudly, "Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, do you know how to repair the Reincarnation Pagoda?"
"Senior Brother Ksitigarbha, we don't know …"
"Junior Brother Ksitigarbha, why are you asking? Even if we can repair the Reincarnation Pagoda, it will not take a few days. Everything is too late. "
"That's right. Even if we are tainted with negative karma, we can still use the merit of incense offerings …"
Ksitigarbha's expression turned gloomy. He said calmly, "If no one knows, I'll ask Teacher. Everyone, there's no need to say anything."
After saying that, Ksitigarbha cupped his hands and bowed. He turned around and was about to head into the depths of the spiritual mountain.
Truth Listener stood up, its eyes filled with hesitation. It ignored the warning signs in its heart and shouted,
"Master! The Saint and the Lord Sage are not at home! "
Ksitigarbha replied, "Teacher must have an incarnation guarding the Golden Lotus."
"Ah! Master! "
Truth Listener wanted to say something else, but two gazes shot over like knives, causing Truth Listener to tremble.
The Truth Listener divine beast subconsciously looked over and saw a person smiling at it from Lao Dao at the spiritual pool. His eyes were filled with warning.
When Truth Listener returned to its senses, it could no longer find Ksitigarbha. It had already entered the mystic realm of the spiritual mountain.
Truth Listener immediately put on a bitter expression and silently lay down, wagging its long tail in boredom.
When an auspicious beast that said "you know too much" …
It was really difficult.
…
In the sea of blood.
As soon as Li Changshou and Emperor Da Yu appeared, Duobao and the other immortals, who had been waiting for a while, surrounded them.
Kong Xuan was still patrolling the sea of blood. He used his pressure to force the ferocious beasts in the sea of blood to not dare to float up. The Asura Clan did not dare to move.
Emperor Da Yu and the immortals of the Dao Sect addressed each other as fellow Daoists and exchanged pleasantries. Li Changshou went straight to the point.
"I've thought of some solutions.
There are still six days left. There are actually many things we can do. First, I'll explain my thoughts.
There are three main things we can do. The first is to extend the lives of these souls. Everyone can continue thinking in this direction.
The second is to increase the speed of reincarnation in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. I'm already prepared. I invited Emperor Da Yu here because of this.
The third is to repair the Reincarnation Pagoda in time. I'll have to rely on Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi. "
Yun Zhongzi, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the Reincarnation Pagoda, looked up and gave an ugly smile.
Daoist Duobao asked, "How do we increase the speed of reincarnation in the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
"Don't forget my position as a Deity in the Celestial Court."
Li Changshou swiped his left hand and drew a long blue river. "I want to build a long river. For the time being, it will go from the sea of blood to Fengdu City. If this method can be used later, I can build it everywhere in the Netherworld.
Previously, I had modified a river in the mortal world and made it contain the True Spirits of many Magi babies. This method can be used here after some slight changes.
I want this river to be divided into three levels. If a soul's merit and negative karma are balanced, or if there is not much merit or negative karma, it will be in the middle level. The middle level will flow normally and directly connect to the Ten Yama Kings.
There is more merit in the upper level. The upper level flows the fastest and connects to the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
The lower level flows the slowest and directly connects to the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
The most important thing about this idea was to let the "kind" enter the reincarnation cycle early and use the space in the Eighteen Levels of Hell and the Six Paths of Reincarnation as a buffer. That way, the pressure on the Book of Life and Death would be much less.
In that case, at least 30% of the souls here could be saved. Moreover, good people would be prioritized!
Why are you all looking at me like that? "
"Ss …"
Daoist Duobao took a deep breath and was puzzled. "Why do you have so many ideas?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Previously, I heard rumors from the mortals that there is a three-way river in the Netherworld. However, there is clearly no river in the Netherworld. I was also inspired by that."
What a joke. He could not say the concept of the assembly line and automatic screening directly.
Li Changshou said, "Forgive me for my offense. Can you let me give the order directly?"
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "Of course! Speak! "
"Why don't you tell us what we want to do?" The Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted softly to express her dissatisfaction.
Perfected Yu Ding also said, "If we can save more living beings, it will be merit for us."
Li Changshou nodded slowly. His eyes flickered, and his clear Dao heart was activated again to ensure that he would not be affected by the calamity.
"Emperor Da Yu, I'll leave the exploration of the river to you."
Da Yu nodded with a smile and casually grabbed the Mountain-Splitting Axe, indicating that it was his professional strength.
"Senior Brother Duobao, Senior Brother Yu Ding, please assist Emperor Da Yu together," Li Changshou said. "This river has to connect to Fengdu City from the edge of the sea of blood. We have to ensure a sufficient distance for the souls to be distinguished."
"Okay."
"Leave it to me."
"Senior Sister Jin Ling, Senior Brother Taiyi, come with me to Fengdu City."
Li Changshou said firmly, "The key to resolving this matter is whether I can use the Deity Position of the Celestial Court to create a river that distinguishes the negative karma of the soul."
Zhao Gongming asked, "What should I do?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Brother Gongming, go to the Celestial Court with Yun Xiao and meet the Jade Emperor directly. Tell him that I need a million troops to set up the river here."
"Sure!"
Fairy Yun Xiao said, "There's no need for us to invite him."
She slowly opened her slender hand and a cloud surged out. She naturally used the Cloud Mirror Technique.
The Cloud Mirror Technique illuminated the edge of the world and the edge of the East Ocean. There were streams of light that filled the sky and descended along the Heavenly Pillar. Among the streams of light, there were Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, and Fairy Chang 'e.
At the front, Mu Gong and a few third-rank righteous gods quickly rode a cloud. Qin Tianzhu's figure could be seen behind them.
Li Changshou was stunned for a moment before he could not help but laugh.
"Everyone, let's get to work!"
"Ahem." Perfected Taiyi cleared his throat. "Changgeng, are you sure you want to do this? Saving the souls of the mortals here is to help the Western Sect resolve the calamity in the future. "
Li Changshou looked at Perfected Taiyi and smiled. "Just take it that I can scold the people of the Western Sect confidently in the future."
The corners of Perfected Taiyi's mouth twitched.
Li Changshou looked at the sky and took a deep breath. He said, "The Western Sect will definitely return what they owe.
However …
The immortals schemed and did not harm mortals. "
At that moment, Fairy Yun Xiao's eyes were filled with splendor. The immortals nodded and chuckled.
Soon.
The sky was pulled open, and a million Heavenly Soldiers came from the east. Each of them held their weapons and began to … dig the soil.
In Fengdu City.
A group of disciples from Chan School and Jie School rushed over when they heard the news. They helped stabilize the surroundings and kill the evil ghosts and fierce souls that were causing trouble everywhere.
Li Changshou entered and exited the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc and kept trying to change his thoughts.
He quickly realized that it was impossible to make the three different types of river water exist in a stable manner. Souls were extremely fragile. The river water that flowed at different speeds could easily destroy these souls.
Therefore, he only needed a river that could protect these souls. That way, the threshold would be much lower.
However, the design of the layered river was much more complicated and troublesome.
Li Changshou summoned the Water God's Divine Power Treasure. After meeting with Qin Tianzhu, he rushed to the "construction site". He kept pondering and studying. He quickly proposed plans and quickly overturned them.
Qin Tianzhu was very open-minded. After encountering trouble, he shouted at the surroundings. Whoever could come up with a solution would return to the Celestial Court and advance.
It was really a group effort.
The Netherworld suddenly became extremely lively. From the Blood Sea to the Netherworld, the ghosts of the Netherworld, the Magi of the Netherworld, and even a small number of Asura Tribes had joined the project of digging the river.
King Chujiang could not help but tease him. He said that the Water God had really had foresight when he asked him to gather the army.
It was exceptionally convenient when digging the river.
At the Six Paths of Reincarnation, there were already ghosts transporting the ghosts on the sea of blood back and forth to reincarnate.
The Yama Lords rolled up their sleeves and left the stage. The judges were busy and sweating profusely. The big ghosts and little ghosts had broken their legs from running. Ox-head and Horse-face were exhausted.
In less than a day, the rivers that accepted the ghosts from the sea of blood were built.
In just two days, the main road was 80% completed.
Li Changshou had countless new ideas. At that moment, he had already opened up a huge lake beside the sea of blood. He used the Taiji Painting to attract the water of the Heavenly River and threw it into it, turning the water there into "living water".
Water nourishes all living beings but does not compete. Water nourishes all living beings but does not conceal it.
The water was only used to carry souls. Li Changshou racked his brains and used the Water God's Divine Power to the extreme, allowing the water there to reach a certain extreme purity.
That way, he would not hurt those souls.
On the third day, the "Three Paths River" was completed. There was only the final part left to guide the water.
Li Changshou and more than ten experts from the Dao Sect gathered beside the Great Lake. At the same time, they attacked and guided the water of the Great Lake into the river.
On both sides of the river, the million Heavenly Soldiers followed Mu Gong's orders and began to slowly accelerate the flow of the three layers of water. The sea of blood began to receive souls into the river.
When the first batch of hundreds of souls merged into a "tributary", they were affected by the three types of Dharma artifacts that were stuck to various parts of the river. When they flowed forward, they slowly split into three layers.
Deafening cheers came from all over the riverbank. Li Changshou smiled faintly and heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Li Changshou's smile quickly froze. He frowned slightly and shouted, "Slow down the flow of the main road!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of souls that had entered the upper level of the main road from the tributary suddenly collapsed in the river that had sped up a little.
The cheers quickly fell silent. The Heavenly Soldiers hurriedly stopped casting their spells. Zhao Gongming activated the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and stopped the water flow. Then, he slowed down.
The water could not be too fast.
And this also affected the overall efficiency.
Li Changshou smiled bitterly. "In that case, I can only save 25%."
"A quarter is already very good." Daoist Duobao smiled and said, "This is a huge merit. Changgeng, don't be harsh on yourself."
Qin Tianzhu said seriously, "Lord … Water God!"
"Huh?"
Qin Tianzhu slowly raised his right hand and flicked his thumb. "Yes!"
The Jade Emperor felt that it was very praiseworthy.
"Ah." Li Changshou smiled and sighed. He stood beside the river and scanned his immortal senses. He looked at the living beings there and said, "Open the gates and accept the souls!
The righteous god of the Celestial Court rushed to Fengdu City to help the Netherworld deal with the ghosts.
Please allow the Heavenly Dao to temporarily relax the Book of Life and Death! "
With a rumble, thunder sounded in the world. It was the Heavenly Dao's response.
Suddenly!
"Water God, I have a way to save the souls here."
Li Changshou, the immortals, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals turned their heads and saw golden light shining above the sea of blood. A young Daoist rode on the back of a green-furred dog and smiled as he walked down.
Ksitigarbha.
Li Changshou frowned slightly and gestured for the experts behind him who were about to rush forward to fight.
Li Changshou said loudly, "Do you have a way to repair the Reincarnation Pagoda?"
"Yes."
Ksitigarbha agreed. In the blink of an eye, he was already 500 kilometers away. He lowered his head and scanned the souls above the sea of blood. However, he jumped down from Truth Listener's back and patted its back.
A talisman appeared in his palm and was casually shattered by Ksitigarbha.
"I'll let you go today. The immortal contract between us has ended. Let's go."
Truth Listener was stunned. Then, it lowered its head and kowtowed to Ksitigarbha. Clouds appeared on its four feet and it stopped on the spot.
Ksitigarbha rode a cloud forward. His white robe fluttered gently, and his long hair fluttered in the wind.
Daoist Duobao said loudly, "Ksitigarbha, why are you the only one here?"
Ksitigarbha said calmly, "I've already said that I have a way to repair the Reincarnation Pagoda."
"The tragic situation here is all caused by the Western Sect!" The Goddess of Golden Spirit cursed. "What do you mean by being so high and mighty now?
Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you!?! "
Ksitigarbha stared at the Goddess of Golden Spirit and whispered, "I'm different from them."
However, he smiled and said, "I'm the same as them."
After saying that, Ksitigarbha bowed deeply to Li Changshou on the cloud and said loudly, "I'm the disciple of the Saint, Ksitigarbha, from the spiritual mountain of the Western Sect. Today, I'm here to sever karma for the Western Sect.
On account that we are old friends and on account of the innocent souls here, allow me to repair the Reincarnation Pagoda for the Celestial Court! "
Li Changshou looked at Qin Tianzhu, who gestured for Li Changshou to make his own decision.
"How confident are you?" Li Changshou asked, "How long will it take?"
Ksitigarbha said, "I'm 100% confident. In a moment."
"Oh?" Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and looked at Ksitigarbha from 50 kilometers away.
One of them was dressed in a green robe, while the other was dressed in a white robe. When their eyes met, they were no longer as hostile as before.
Li Changshou suddenly said something that others could not understand. "I swear that the Reincarnation Pagoda will merge with the Six Paths of Reincarnation and will not be interfered with by anyone. I will only listen to the Lady of Earth's orders."
Ksitigarbha nodded slowly and sat down cross-legged. He raised his left hand and shouted,
"I, Ksitigarbha of the Western Sect, swear a Great Dao oath …"
As he shouted, a dark cloud flew over from the sky. The rich power of the Heavenly Dao enveloped Ksitigarbha, and his voice echoed throughout the world …
An hour ago, in the mystic realm of the spiritual mountain, beside the twelfth-grade Gold Lotus, the figure who had been kneeling for three days was still unwilling to stand up.
Lao Dao, who was sitting cross-legged beside the lotus pond with his back facing him, had been silent for two days. At that moment, he finally spoke again.
"Ksitigarbha, have you really thought about it?"
"I'm willing to do this. Teacher, please grant me the method to repair the Reincarnation Pagoda."
"You were going to inherit my legacy."
"Teacher, am I the only one who can do this?"
Lao Dao was speechless.
Ksitigarbha looked up and smiled. "It's because of my pure Dao heart."
"Once you go, it will be difficult for you to return to the spiritual mountain."
"However, Teacher, if I don't go, the living beings will be plunged into misery and suffering. How can the Western Sect stand in the world again? How can they prosper? Teacher brought me back here. I'm willing to go … "
Ksitigarbha smiled faintly. "Teacher, I have already succeeded in my cultivation. It's time to leave."
"You really … Forget it."
Lao Dao slowly closed his eyes and a golden lotus seed flew out of his hand.
"In the end, I still can't resist the will of the Heavenly Dao."
Ksitigarbha's hand trembled as he took the lotus seed. He slowly placed it in his mouth and swallowed it.
Then, he bowed three times in front of the Saint and stood up to leave. His back view was no longer as bleak as before. He was tall and carefree.
On the sea of blood, the power of the Heavenly Dao dissipated.
Ksitigarbha slowly stood up and asked Li Changshou, "Is that good?"
Li Changshou nodded and made an inviting gesture. He sent a voice transmission to Yun Zhongzi to leave the vicinity of the Reincarnation Pagoda.
Ksitigarbha raised his hand and pointed. The Reincarnation Pagoda slowly expanded and floated above the sea of blood, returning to its ten-thousand-feet-tall grandeur.
Ksitigarbha took a deep breath and looked up at the sky of the Netherworld. A thought flashed across his eyes, and he smiled calmly.
He was about to jump down …
"Ksitigarbha."
"Huh?"
Ksitigarbha turned to look at Li Changshou, who was standing before the immortal. The latter cupped his hands and lowered his head. He bowed deeply.
"I finally got the Water God's bow." Ksitigarbha smiled and said, "It's tough. If they see this, they will not be able to explain themselves."
After saying that, Ksitigarbha bowed to Li Changshou and turned around to jump down the cloud. His body was engulfed by the golden light.
He turned into a golden ball of light and illuminated the dark sky of the Netherworld. He sank into … the towering top of the Reincarnation Pagoda.
He burned this Dao Body, condensed this essence soul, fused the Gold Lotus Seed, and transformed it into the Reincarnation Pearl.
If I don't go to hell, who will?
If I want to prove this body, I have to escape from all suffering living beings.
I swear that I will do all the future tribulations and suffer all living beings. I will make it convenient and free you.
Teacher, I, Ksitigarbha, will not let down the Western Sect.
…
Five days later.
The mighty Heavenly Soldiers returned to the Celestial Court. After digging for another five days, they had completed the transformation process of the Three Paths River.
At that moment, the Three Paths River originated from the Great Swamp beside the Blood Sea. It received the water of the Heavenly River and flowed through the Gates of Hell in the east and south, rushing to Fengdu City.
Three of the ten Yama Halls had moved to the Three Paths River. Among them, the Reincarnation Hall stood on the Three Paths River, and beside it was the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
That way, the souls that floated over from the upper level of the Three Paths River could enter the process of reincarnation.
Apart from that, the lower level of the Three Paths River flowed through the Netherworld, and the middle level flowed through the periphery of the Reincarnation Immortal Island.
As the Three Paths River continued to drift forward, they left Fengdu City and arrived at a fertile land.
A tall pagoda stood there, shining with a faint light. It was considered the last place for living beings to reincarnate.
On the top floor of the pagoda, a young Daoist in white stood quietly. His figure was between solid and faint as he looked at the edge of the Netherworld.
It was quite good.
At least it was peaceful.
The Daoist thought of something again. He recalled the scene of the last batch of souls in the Blood Sea being sent away by the Reincarnation Pagoda. When the Heavenly Dao sent down merit, only a small bolt of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder landed on the Water God's head. He could not help but chuckle.
What's wrong with the Water God?
Why didn't the Heavenly Dao give him merit?
Could it be that he owed a second sum?
"This fellow said that he would come and drink tea with me later. It seems like he has gone to accompany his Dao companion.
Ah … I should do something. "
"Yo? Are you lonely? "
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his heart. The young Daoist frowned and turned around.
A green-furred dog squatted beside him and smiled with squinted eyes. "Do you want me to listen to the Three Realms and help you relieve your boredom?"
The young Daoist could not help but chuckle.
"Let me say this first. I'm not back to be your mount. We don't have an immortal contract now. If I see any good family, I'll leave immediately.
If you want to call me 'Master' twice, I'll reluctantly accompany you for a while. "
"Get lost!" Ksitigarbha cursed. "Go to Jie School to find your Goddess!"
"Look, look, you're anxious, aren't you?
You're working for the Heavenly Dao now. You have some status, self-restraint, and bearing!
Hey, don't sharpen your saber. I'm really leaving. Believe it or not, I'll be the mount of the Water God!
Hey, I'm wrong. Master, don't die. I'll tell you some good stories, Master … "
