As for the human race, Taixu ordered Ji Fa to be the emperor, and the human race naturally obeyed. Thus, the apotheosis ended just like that.
This time, Zhunti, who had come to the human world, had taken in a few people who were not very powerful and had come to the West. After that, he began to have ideas about the underworld. All Saints knew how important the Netherworld was. If they could get involved, it would definitely be beneficial to the West. So this time, Zhunti quietly came to the netherworld while everyone was fighting with that force.
When Zhunti went to the netherworld, he also brought a person from the west. This person was the key to his intervention in the netherworld. Zhunti had already known about it as soon as he arrived at Houtu of the Netherworld. Although he was very confused about Zhunti's intention in coming to the Netherworld, he couldn't lose the courtesy of a Sage and quickly showed himself.
Zhunti knew that Houtu was much more powerful than him as soon as she came out. He was not happy that he had become a Sage much earlier than Houtu, but now he was much weaker than Houtu because of karma. How could he stand it? But he came here today for the Nether World, so he had to ask the master of the Nether World.
Zhunti smiled and said to Houtu," Goddess Houtu, how have you been? You won't not welcome me here today, will you?"”
Houtu smiled and said,""What are you talking about, Sage Zhunti? Of course I welcome you to visit my netherworld.”There was another meaning in his words: " The netherworld is my territory. If you want to cause trouble here, you're not welcome.'
Zhunti was old and shrewd, so he knew what Houtu meant. Although he was furious, he still said for the sake of his face,""Since that's the case, then that's good. I'm not familiar with this underworld, so please show me around this underworld, alright?”After saying that, he looked at Houtu with a smile.
Although Houtu felt that something was wrong, she didn't think too much about it and said,""Of course. No matter what, I'm the owner of this place. Of course, I have to bring you, a guest, to see the scenery of my Netherworld. However, the environment in the Nether World isn't very good. I hope Sage Zhunti won't laugh at me.”After saying that, he made an inviting gesture and took Zhunti around the netherworld.
Along the way, Zhunti looked at the netherworld with greedy eyes. Her eyes darted around, and no one knew what she was thinking. And the person he brought with him had a bitter expression when he saw the vengeful souls in the underworld. He shook his head occasionally. He nodded occasionally. At this moment, Houtu began to feel uneasy. Sage Cundi's reputation wasn't very good. This time, he might have taken a fancy to something in the netherworld. It seemed that he had to be more cautious.
He had such thoughts. Houtu looked warily at Zhunti and the man he had brought. He only brought them to some unimportant places. Other important places such as: Six Paths of Reincarnation. He didn't bring them to see his cultivation place. Of course, Zhunti also saw through the thoughts of the land. He kept sneering in his heart.
After they had toured all over the netherworld, Houtu took Zhunti and the others to find a place to sit down. They talked about some boring topics leisurely.
In the end. Cundi couldn't help it. He said,"Don't you think that the underworld still needs help?" You see, there are so many vengeful souls here. If they could be freed. Isn't that a merit?"
Hearing this, Hou Tu's heart skipped a beat. She immediately looked at Zhunti vigilantly and said,""I wonder what Sage Zhunti means by that. I don't think the netherworld needs anyone's help.”These words indicated that he didn't want Cundi to get involved in the netherworld.
Seeing Houtu's appearance, Zhunti knew that it was impossible to persuade the westerners to intervene. "Your Majesty," he said solemnly. Don't you think it's annoying that you occupy such a big place in the netherworld? It was inevitable that others would say something unpleasant. And Empress, can you manage it all by yourself?”
" Hmph!" Houtu snorted angrily." I don't need you to ask me whether I can handle it. You're not welcome here now. Please leave."”His words implied that he wanted to chase them away.
Zhunti's face immediately turned ugly. Although his cultivation was not as good as Houtu's, he was still a Sage after all. How could he be humiliated by a Sage? Zhunti snorted and said," Goddess Houtu, I don't think you can manage the Netherworld as a woman. I'll help you out of kindness."”
Without waiting for Houtu to respond, he shouted,""Ksitigarbha, do what you should do.”While Houtu was still in a daze, Ksitigarbha, who was brought by Zhunti, had already received Zhunti's order. With a benevolent look on his face, he flew into the air and put his hands together, saying,""This Penniless Monk is willing to live in the netherworld forever and reform the Asura tribe to achieve positive results. Vow: All living beings have been saved, only to achieve Bodhi, hell is not empty, vow not to become Buddha.”As soon as he finished speaking, Buddhist light burst out from Ksitigarbha's body, and a golden light of virtue descended from the sky to cover Ksitigarbha's body.
Seeing this, Houtu knew Zhunti's intention of coming to the Nether World. When she wanted to stop him, the Golden Light of Merit had already hit Ksitigarbha. Knowing that it was irreversible, Houtu's face became very ugly, blaming herself for neglecting this sinister Zhunti.
While Houtu was blaming herself, Zhunti chuckled and looked at Houtu, saying,""Thank you for your help, Empress." Hearing this, Houtu immediately shouted and wanted to attack, but Zhunti said,""Niangniang, this is the netherworld. If you fight, I'm afraid your netherworld will be destroyed.”Threatening, this was a blatant threat, but Houtu had no choice but to accept his threat. After all, this was her place. If they fought, she would only lose herself in the end. He could only stop and look at Zhunti, who was smiling proudly. He was thinking that Zhunti would find trouble with him after he left the Nether World, and he couldn't let Ksitigarbha take advantage of him.
Just as Houtu was thinking about how to find trouble with Zhunti, four presences suddenly descended from the sky, and they were all presences that only Sages had. Feeling the pressure, Houtu's face finally looked better. If the Three Pure Ones were here, they might have a way to solve the problem of Ksitigarbha.
Zhunti was a little surprised, but he soon felt relieved. After all, the matter of Ksitigarbha was so serious that it was normal for other Sages to know about it. However, he was worried now. If the Three Pure Ones refused to give in on the matter of Ksitigarbha, it would be very troublesome.
Soon, four figures appeared in their line of sight. They were the Three Pure Ones and the Saint of Jieyin from the west. The four of them went to Houtu and the others.
When Houtu saw them coming down, she went forward and said,""Greetings, senior brothers." Laozi and the others also returned the favor one by one, doing what the saints did.
Laozi was the first to speak,"Goddess Houtu, did something happen in the netherworld? Why is Cundi here?" When Houtu heard Laozi asking, Primordial and Tongtian nodded and told them everything.
After listening to Houtu's answer, Laozi and the others 'expressions were not too good. If the West intervened in the Nether World now, their orthodoxy would be in a bit of danger in the future. Moreover, it was interfered under their own eyes. When Jieyin heard Houtu's words, he was ashamed. Why was his junior brother like this? He only knew how to take advantage of others. Couldn't he do it with his own strength? Looking at their faces, they knew that it would be very troublesome if they wanted to come to the East to do anything in the future.
Seeing them like this, Zhunti stepped forward and said,""I'm thinking for the sake of the vengeful souls in the underworld. Look at how many vengeful souls are suffering in the underworld. Wouldn't it be better if we used our western Buddhist Dharma to purify them?”
Tongtian immediately jumped out and cursed,"You, Zhunti, are really shameless. You let Ksitigarbha enter the netherworld without the permission of Goddess Houtu. I really don't know if you have lived like a dog all these years.”His words were blunt. Laozi and Primordial nodded. After all, this Cundi had already endangered their interests.
Seeing Tongtian scold him like this in front of the Sages, Zhunti was immediately displeased. He pointed at Tongtian and scolded,""What right do you have to criticize me? Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because your strength is higher than mine.”After saying that, he raised the Tree Staff of Seven Wonders and pointed it at Tongtian.
Houtu frowned at Zhunti's words and snorted angrily,""Zhunti, you really don't care about your face. This is my place, not your west. Watch your words. Otherwise, I'll make you scram to the west from here.”After saying that, he began to release his aura.
Seeing Houtu like this, Tongtian laughed and released his Qi Power to suppress Zhunti. Zhunti was immediately enraged by Houtu's words and released his own imposing manner. The three auras collided continuously in this space, and the surrounding space was pressed down to the point of making creaking sounds, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Just as the three of them were competing, another pressure descended from the sky. This pressure was a little more powerful than theirs. For a moment, the expressions of the few Saints present changed drastically. This aura clearly did not belong to the Venerable One. Then who did it belong to?
