The sea of blood was endless, and the surroundings were filled with blood mist. The sky could not be seen at all.
Ji Xiu hurriedly activated his Fiery Eyes with all his might. Two beams of red golden light shot out from his eyes, cutting through the endless sea of blood and looking through the sky.
In the next moment, the blood sea and mist suddenly disappeared. Ji Xiu realized that he was still standing in the hall and hadn't moved at all.
The Blood Sea was just an illusion in Ancestor Netherworld's eyes!
He looked at Ancestor Netherworld River curiously and ended up falling into Ancestor Netherworld River's Blood Sea Illusion!
If it wasn't for his Fiery Golden Eyes that could break through all illusions and disguises, he wouldn't know how to get out of the illusion!
Seeing Ji Xiu wake up from the Blood Sea Illusion so quickly, Ancestor Netherworld could not help but show a hint of admiration.
However, he didn't say much. He just greeted Princess Iron Fan and Bull Demon King,"
"Get up!"
His voice was calm and gentle, just like an amiable elder in the family.
After Princess Iron Fan stood up, she immediately asked Ancestor Netherworld respectfully,"
"May I know what instructions the ancestor has for us?”
Ancestor Netherworld said,"
"From Boxun, you also learned about the rise of Buddhism and the eastward migration of Buddhism. "This matter is extremely disadvantageous to the Blood Sea. Therefore, I'm prepared to destroy this matter and prevent the Buddhist Sect from spreading their religion so smoothly in the Eastern Land!”
"I heard from my father that the Buddhist League's eastward expansion was jointly signed by the Heavenly Courts, the Dao Sect, and the Buddhist League. Although our Blood Sea is not weak, I'm afraid it's a little difficult for us to deal with three parties at the same time!？”Princess Iron Fan asked carefully.
Patriarch Netherworld stood up from the hassock. In the next moment, he appeared next to Ji Xiu and the other two.
With his hands behind his back, he explained to Princess Iron Fan,"
"It's fine. Although the Buddhist Sect's eastward preaching was jointly decided by the three factions according to the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, the three factions are not united. Although the Dao Sect has long arranged for their disciples to transfer to the Buddhist Sect in order to divide the luck of the Buddhist Sect, when the Buddhist Sect really crosses the east and is prepared to divide the offerings of the Dao Sect, the Dao Sect will still not be willing…"
Ji Xiu could not help but be shocked when he heard Ancestor Netherworld River say that the Dao Sect had already arranged for their disciples to transfer to the Buddhist Sect.
He knew that the Buddha of the Buddhist Sect, the Ancient Buddha of Dipamkara, the Merciful Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra were all disciples of the saints of the Dao Sect.
He had always thought that these people had defected to the Buddhist Sect. Now, it seemed that this matter was not as simple as defecting!
It was because the Sage had long predicted that the Buddhist Sect would prosper in the future, so he allowed his disciples to transfer to the Buddhist Sect in advance and share the luck of the Buddhist Sect.
The method of a Sage deducing the karma of the Heavenly Dao was indeed extraordinary!
This also explained Ji Xiu's doubts. How could Ci Hang, Wen Shu, and the others dare to betray the Sage Master after the Battle of Gods Investiture? Wasn't he afraid that the Saints would plot against him?
However, if their betrayal was instigated by a Saint, then it would make sense!
Ancestor Netherworld River continued,"
"Only the Jade Emperor wants to plant the earth gods, mountain gods, and city gods that belong to the celestial heavens all over the Western Ox Continent. He also wants to use the Buddhist League to balance the power of the Taoist League. That's why he's wholeheartedly cooperating with the Buddhist League…"
Ji Xiu used to work in the Heavenly Court, so he naturally knew that the Earth God, Mountain God, River God, and City God were all under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court's Jade Emperor. They were responsible for monitoring the human world and absorbing incense for the Jade Emperor.
However, the demons of the Western Ox Continent were the kings of the mountains, and the Buddhist and Taoist sects were powerful. In the past, the Jade Emperor could not place many land gods, mountain gods, and city gods in the Western Ox Continent.
After listening to Ancestor Minghe's explanation and recalling the original plot of Journey to the West, Ji Xiu suddenly understood the cooperation agreement between the Jade Emperor and Buddhism.
It was obvious that the faith on the surface belonged to Buddhism, while the earth, mountain gods, and city gods belonged to the Jade Emperor. Both sides would split the incense sticks of the human race!
Ancestor Netherworld:
" Besides, the Dharma cannot be passed down easily. It is not easy for Buddhism to spread eastward. It requires the consent of the Human Emperor of the East. The Human Emperor must issue a golden edict and personally send people to seek the scriptures. Only after experiencing endless tribulations will the Heavenly Axiom approve of Buddhism's eastward transmission. Therefore, it's not impossible for us to destroy it!”
"Then what does the ancestor want us to do?”Bull Demon King asked Ancestor Netherworld.
Ancestor Netherworld:
"The two of you happen to live in the Western Ox Continent. This is the only way to the Western Spirit Mountain, so I need you to develop your forces in the Western Ox Continent to destroy the scriptures. As long as the people who go to the Spirit Mountain to obtain the scriptures pass by your territory and capture them, you can delay the Buddhist Sect's great cause of imparting the scriptures for a thousand years!”
"It's only been delayed for a thousand years? In that case, the Buddhist Sect would still prosper in the future?”Princess Iron Fan was a little disappointed.
Ancestor Minghe smiled bitterly as if he was laughing at Princess Iron Fan's naivety."
"The rise of the Buddhist Sect is the great trend of the Heavenly Dao. Even a Saint can't stop it. If he wanted to completely stop the rise of Buddhism, he would have to destroy eighty-one scriptures in a row. How difficult was that? "As long as I can delay the rise of the Buddhist Sect for a thousand years, I can transform the human world into a sea of blood and use the righteous path to reach the Primordial Chaos. At that time, not to mention a mere Ksitigarbha, even if it's the Buddhist Sect, I'll flood the Western Spirit Mountain with blood!”
At the end of his speech, Ancestor Minghe's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, and a majestic and shocking aura burst out of his body. The raging fire of karma burned around his body. This was the Blood Sea Hierarch, the Netherworld Demon King!
Seeing this, Princess Iron Fan and Bull Demon King immediately replied respectfully,""Disciple will definitely not let down the ancestor's orders and will definitely kill that person!”
Ancestor Netherworld nodded and reminded,"
"This is not an easy task. You must be careful. "If it weren't for the fact that my personal disciples and I were too ambitious and would be detected by the old bald donkeys of the Buddhist Sect as soon as we left the Blood Sea, we wouldn't have asked you to do this!”
Princess Iron Fan and Bull Demon King nodded solemnly.
Suddenly, Ancestor Netherworld River took out two red jade boxes from his sleeve. He handed one to Bull Demon King and said,"
"Your current cultivation is still too low. I'm afraid you're not strong enough to stop the person who wants to retrieve the scriptures. Inside this box are the ten drops of Ancestral Sorcerer Blood Essence that I extracted from the severed limbs of the Ancestral Sorcerer Gonggong. You already have the bloodline of the Sorcerer Tribe, so these ten drops of Ancestral Sorcerer Blood Essence can help you advance to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm quickly.”
When the Bull Demon King heard this, he could not help but be overjoyed. He took the jade box and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him,
"Thank you, ancestor. I will definitely not let you down. When I return, I will contact the demon kings and destroy the scripture.”
Ancestor Minghe nodded and gave Princess Iron Fan another jade box."
