Lady Pingxin and the rest of the Buddhists were speechless. After all, Lady Pingxin was the Dominator of Samsara in the Six Realms. She had great merits in Untainted Land and was respected by all living beings. She was also half the Lord of the Nether World. Compared to her, the rest of the Buddhists were outsiders. If it weren't for Ksitigarbha's great wish, they wouldn't have fought with this Absolute Saint. But now, the Buddhists had no choice but to fight.
Tathagata had to be thick-skinned and said," Your Majesty, you are wrong. The Nether World is the place where all living beings of the Three Realms reincarnate. It is very important to Untainted Land. However, there are many evil ghosts in the Nether World that are difficult to tame. Buddha is merciful and cannot bear to see the souls of the Nether World suffer such a disaster. Therefore, he sent Ksitigarbha into the Nether World to convert the evil ghosts and return the Nether World to peace. We didn't mean to offend the Empress. If we can allow Ksitigarbha to enter, why don't we let it go?”Ping Xin's face turned pale from anger. He had completely recognized the face of the Buddhist Sect.
"Humph! Stop pretending!" Minghe said disdainfully," The Buddhist League is too much. Everything was caused by you. Now you're making a countercharge. Forefather, you've finally learned something!"”After Minghe said that, the Blood Sea beside the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Nether World suddenly surged up. Countless monstrous waves carried the Ashuras. Suddenly, the Blood Qi filled the air, and the sky turned dark.
"Blood Sea Array!" Minghe shouted. Under the leadership of Boxun, Ashro, and Brahma, all the Asuras slowly moved in a mysterious way and then disappeared. It fused into the huge wave of blood sea.
When Tathagata saw this, he shouted,"Subduing demons and eliminating devils, Bodhi Grand Formation!"”
Then, with Rulai as the center, golden lotuses filled the sky. A Bodhi seed fell from Rulai's mouth and fell on the underworld. It grew at an incredible speed and covered the sky in the blink of an eye. Its roots coiled back and forth, tightly entangled with the earth, and attracted all the Buddhist disciples from the earth to surround the Bodhi tree. They sat in countless circles from top to bottom, meditating and chanting scriptures wholeheartedly. The swastika mantra was emitted from their mouths, fusing with the power of the formation to resist external attacks.
This was the first time that the Bodhi Formation had confronted the Blood Sea Formation. It was like a battle between fire and water. The two sides were clearly separated. The filthy blood at the intersection and the holy Buddhist light melted away as soon as they came into contact.
When Maha-Vairocana saw this, he revealed his Dharma Form of a Three-clawed Golden Crow. Above his head was a sun. Waves of extremely intense light shot straight at the blood wave that was as high as the sun, slowly evaporating the surface of the blood wave. The Asura people hidden in the blood wave were turned into ashes after being illuminated by the light. They howled and disappeared without a trace. They did not even have the chance to reincarnate.
On the other side, Ancestor Minghe immediately rushed over. Unexpectedly, Gautama and Dipamkara had a tacit understanding. They attacked together and instantly disintegrated the opponent's attack, stopping Minghe. Although Minghe had been cultivating for many years and his cultivation had reached the Peak of Sage-to-be, which was one of the best below the Sages, Rulai and Rulai were not weak. For a while, they were able to hold Ancestor Minghe back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Maha-Vairocana flew into a rage and revealed his true form. He transformed into a three-legged Golden Crow and swallowed the sky. He rushed out of the Bodhi Formation and shuttled back and forth in the Blood Sea Formation outside. Without Minghe's support, the Formation of Blood Sea was instantly broken by the pressure of Bodhi Formation and Maha-Vairocana's move. Countless asuras were illuminated by the Grand Sun Primordial Fire on Maha-Vairocana's body and the Buddhist light from the Bodhi Formation, and a large area of them disappeared.
Seeing this, Ancestor Minghe roared again and again. However, Dipamkara and Tathagata attacked together and surrounded Ancestor Minghe. Although Minghe was one of the few Great Gods in the world and was famous below the Sage, Gautama and Dipamkara were not easy to deal with. Therefore, the three of them could not defeat each other and could only fight with each other to consume Spiritual Power. On the side, after losing the Nether River to preside over things, the Ashura Tribe was obviously leaderless. Even with the four Heavenly Kings of the Cult of Asura, they were only Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals when faced with Maha-Vairocana's power. How could they resist? It was already very lucky for them to be able to protect themselves.
Looking at Maha-Vairocana's actions, Minghe finally felt a sharp pain in his heart. The Ashura Tribe was not only related to Minghe's fate, but also had lived together for thousands of years. They were all created by Minghe and brought up by him. It could be said that they were Minghe's hope. After a few strikes from Maha-Vairocana, a large number of them fell. If this continued, wouldn't the Ashura Tribe be exterminated? Minghe's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Dipamkara, who was blocking his way. The two of them felt goosebumps all over their bodies. Then, a crazy Qi Power burst out from Minghe's body. His Blood Qi merged with the swords of Yuanbi and Tu. The two swords were nourished by the Blood Qi and showed signs of combining. Moreover, an extremely terrifying vital force was emitted from the swords. Dipamkara's twenty-four Ocean-Pacifying Divine Pearls and Tathagata's Nine-Grade Golden Lotus suddenly chirped, as if they were nervous after encountering a strong opponent. Gautama Dipamkara hurriedly took a few steps back. The two of them looked at each other and were somewhat surprised. To be able to cause such a change in a spiritual treasure, it was likely that things would not be so easy next.
As expected, the two swords in Minghe's hands merged into one, forming another Demonic Sword. The sword was completely red, as if it had been soaked in countless evil blood. It faintly emitted the sound of a group of demons howling. Moreover, its blade emitted an extremely evil aura, and the words "Hunyuan Sword" were faintly engraved on the sword spine. Holding the newly born Sword of Origin, Ancestor Minghe chuckled. Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. Minghe's Sword of Origin slashed at Dipamkara and Rulai. However, the two found that the surrounding space was suddenly filled with blood that could corrode bones and devour souls. They were temporarily trapped in one place and could not teleport. They could only pick up their Spiritual Treasures to resist Minghe's attack. With a ding, the Chaos Origin Sword suddenly expanded. It fought against two people alone and could not hold its ground against the twenty-four Divine Sea Calming Pearls and the Nine-Grade Golden Lotus. However, the situation didn't look good. Although the Chaos Origin Sword was blocked, blood continued to flow out of the sword, wrapping around Dipamkara and the others 'treasures and corroding them. In the blink of an eye, these two famous treasures seemed to have suffered significant damage. Coupled with the sharpness of the Chaos Origin Sword, they couldn't block it.
Dipamkara Tathagata felt sorry for his magic weapon and finally put it away. He stopped pestering Minghe and opened the encirclement. Minghe took advantage of the situation and rushed out, waving the Sword of Origin crazily in all directions. Countless sword qi swept across the land. All the Buddhist cultivators who were hit by the sword qi died one by one, and even their souls were corroded. Those Asura cultivators who couldn't avoid it in time were provoked by the sword qi. Although they were fine, they lost their minds. Their strength surged and they pounced on the Buddhist cultivators crazily. They self-destructed one by one, forming blood-colored mushroom clouds above the underworld. The Buddhist army suffered such an attack and their morale fell into chaos as they retreated. However, Minghe didn't seem to give up. He rushed into the Buddhist League and killed everyone in the area.
" Minghe, please don't. At the same time, Maha-Vairocana will use the Extreme Purple Golden Fire of the Sun, which is unique to the Golden Crow Tribe. This is the Fire of Yang, and its power is only inferior to the Fire of Chaos. As soon as the Purple Golden Fire appeared, it evaporated the surrounding Blood Qi, burned Minghe's body, and twisted the space in all directions. Under such pressure, Minghe could not help but weaken. Dipamkara also used the Buddha Palm to suppress the Nether River and built a barrier around the Nether River, surrounding the Nether River tightly. The others were also led by Guan Yin to wipe out Asura's people. Guanyin used the willow in the clear glass bottle to scatter it towards heaven and earth. Countless innate sunflower water fell to the ground, turning the Asura people who were stained into a pool of blood. The remaining Buddhist disciples chanted Buddhist scriptures, and golden scriptures flew out from their bodies, turning into countless swastikas that struck the Asura crowd, melting them one by one.
Minghe's cultivation at the Peak of Sage-to-be could not withstand the blow from the three Sage-to-be of Buddhism. Gradually, he was burned by the Purple Golden Fire of Maha-Vairocana and suppressed by Dipamkara Vairocana to the point where he could not exert his true strength. The situation had reached a critical moment. If he delayed any longer, the Asura Clan would be exterminated, and he would also suffer a great loss. However, Minghe could no longer struggle and resist!
On the other side, Pingxin mobilized the strength he could unleash and faced Medicine Master Glazed Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and the others. Everyone was trying to stall Goddess Pingxin. They used their divine powers and cooperated well, so they were evenly matched with Pingxin. After a long time, Pingxin was shocked to see Minghe defeated. He forced Medicine Buddha and others to retreat and came to help Ancestor Minghe. Seeing this, Dipamkara did not bother and left the battle. Minghe, who had just caught his breath, also rushed to Pingxin. Under his lead, the remaining Asura clansmen knelt on the ground and said to Pingxin,""Thank you, Empress!"
"What do you want to teach me, Your Majesty?" asked Tathagata. Could Ksitigarbha be allowed to preach in the netherworld?”Pingxin looked at the Buddhist army and then at the dispirited Asura clan beside him, but he frowned. Seeing that Pingxin didn't answer, Rulai said,""Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is merciful and has made a great wish to save all the souls of the dead in the underworld. The heavens have mercy on us and bestowed us with great merit. We are only protecting Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and have no intention of offending him.”Pingxin raised his eyebrows and smiled. He said to everyone present,"If I don't allow this Ksitigarbha to enter the netherworld, wouldn't I be being unreasonable and betraying Ksitigarbha's great compassion?”Ancestor Minghe was puzzled by Pingxin's words. What did Pingxin eat? After all, the Wu Tribe was not in a good state after Ksitigarbha sent him to the Nether World.
Tathagata didn't expect Pingxin to be so easy to talk to. The words that he had prepared were all swallowed in his stomach and couldn't be spat out. After a long time, just as he was about to express his gratitude, he was interrupted by Pingxin. " However, Ksitigarbha is a Bodhisattva of Buddhism. His status is very different. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for him to enter the netherworld. If he can..." Pingxin did not continue. Tathagata and the others were originally filled with joy, but after being stirred by Pingxin, it was as if they had fallen from the sky into the air. Seeing that they were about to land, they desperately grabbed onto their last straw of hope. Dipankara Buddha stood up and asked,""Empress, it's fine to say it. As long as it's not too much, our Buddhist Sect will definitely agree!”Dipamkara also knew that it was impossible to take advantage of the Sorcerer Tribe without paying a price. The Netherworld was of great importance. As long as the price was right, it did not matter if the Buddhist Sect suffered a loss.
"Ksitigarbha is not from the netherworld, and entering the netherworld will always hinder his status. How about this, he was originally the Saintess of the Asura Clan. Although he broke out of the Asura Clan, it could not change the fact that he was from the Asura Clan. Since he came from the Path of Asura, he would let him give up his male body and return as the Saintess of Asura. This way, he could stay in the netherworld permanently!”The moment Ping Xin's words came out, it set off a monstrous wave. By letting Ksitigarbha return to the Asura Clan, wasn't this inciting his fellow disciples to betray the sect in front of his own people? The people of the Buddhist League were furious. If they had done this in a fair manner, Ksitigarbha would have entered the underworld, but he would no longer belong to the Buddhist League. If he had broken away from this relationship, why would they have come here to live in vain? Moreover, they had blatantly poached him in front of the Buddhas of the Buddhist League. This was intolerable! Minghe and the other members of the Wu Tribe laughed. Once Ksitigarbha returned to the Saintess, he would have to listen to Ancestor Minghe. At that time, Ancestor Minghe could do whatever he wanted!
"Your Majesty, this is indeed inappropriate," Tathagata said with a gloomy face.”The group of Buddhist cultivators beside him also echoed. Ksitigarbha was even more anxious.
Seeing that the Buddhist Sect showed signs of making a move again, Ping Xin knew that he could not go too far. Now that the Buddhist Sect was powerful, he could not become their enemy. If this continued, it would not be good to offend the Buddhist Sect. Thinking of his own scheme, he had no choice but to temporarily agree. Pingxin looked at Ancestor Minghe. Minghe seemed to struggle for a long time, but he still nodded. Pingxin said,""Since Ksitigarbha has made a great wish and has been approved by the Heavenly Dao, I will agree to Ksitigarbha's residence on behalf of the Netherworld. The Yin Mountain of the Nether World is a place where vengeful souls gather. Since Ksitigarbha has made a great wish to save the vengeful souls, I will reluctantly allow him to set up a Taoist temple on the Yin Mountain, but he must not leave the Yin Mountain range. Otherwise, if any accidents happen, we can't guarantee it.”" That's right," Ancestor Minghe agreed." We will only allow him to live in the Yin Mountains. He is not allowed to take half a step out of the Yin Mountains. Otherwise, we will not care about his life or death!"”
Seeing that Lady Pingxin and Ancestor Minghe had already said so much, Rulai and the others did not dare to push their luck. They knew that allowing Ksitigarbha to open a Taoist rite in Yin Mountain and convert the resentful souls was already close to Pingxin's bottom line. If they wanted to go further, it was hard to guarantee that no accidents would happen. The Buddhas agreed after discussion. Ksitigarbha was already very fortunate to be able to enter the netherworld, but he did not dare to overstep his boundaries. After Gautama Dipamkara and the others had arranged everything, they left behind a sixth-grade lotus throne cultivated by the Buddhist League to protect Ksitigarbha and withdrew. Ksitigarbha also settled down in Yin Mountain safely. As for the incarnations of the six Bodhisattvas, they did not dare to ask for anything else. The storm had disappeared without a trace. As for the future when the Buddhist League planted spies in the underworld, they were prepared for the future calamity.
After the agreement was reached, Pingxin and Minghe also retreated. However, the seeds of conflict had been planted. All Karma would be resolved in the next Great Tribulation.
