That Heavenly Venerate, Immeasurable!
Although the ninth-grade Merit Golden Lotus and Green Lotus were good, they were too resource-intensive.
The ninth-grade Green Lotus was still fine. As long as there was enough Three Light Holy Water, it could be nurtured.
Sixth and third-grade lotus thrones and lotus seeds could be supplied continuously.
However, the Grade Nine Merit Golden Lotus was not that simple.
If he wanted to continue to harvest in the future, he would have to obtain Sixth and Third-Grade Merit Lotus Thrones and seeds.
Then the merit could not be cut off.
Without the help of merit, even if the ninth-grade golden lotus was there, it would not bloom again.
Merit!
" I've planned everything to get to where I am now. If I were to supply the Merit Golden Lotuses in the future, I really can't afford it."
Not to mention Zhao Gongming, even a few Saints might not be able to afford it.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Gongming could only put this matter aside.
I beg!
Wasn't it just lotus seeds?
Even without the golden lotus, I still have the green lotus.
Humph!
It was just that the green lotus seed did not have the effect of washing away karma.
At this point, Zhao Gongming understood something.
No wonder Jieyin and Zhunti dared to use the twelfth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit as an item to suppress the fate of a great sect.
So this thing was not only a lotus platform, but also a combination of merit.
Even though it was only a supreme-grade primordial spiritual treasure, its effect of suppressing the fate of a great sect was not inferior to Sect Master Tongtian's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which was a primordial supreme treasure.
In addition, Zhunti had assisted in establishing the sect and had treasures to suppress the luck of the great sect. At that time, the luck of the Western Sect was as stable as Mount Tai.
What a pity!
The foundations of these two westerners were too weak. No matter how stable the luck of the great sects was, it was useless.
He could only rely on the autumn wind to survive.
This was like installing the engine of an airplane on a motorcycle.
The result was obvious.
It was no wonder that the two of them immediately jumped out of the mysterious gate after eating and drinking their fill during the Great Tribulation of Deification.
The Buddhist Sect was about to take off. The engine of the plane was already installed and the kerosene was filled. Naturally, they did not want to be the motorcycles of the Taoist Sect.
The gorgeous transformation naturally began.
However, Zhao Gongming suddenly smiled wretchedly.
It turned out that Zhao Gongming had thought of that damned mosquito.
At this moment, Zhao Gongming really wanted to interview Jieyin and Zhunti." Excuse me, how is your Golden Lotus of Merit?"”
The two Saints, who had schemed everything, did not expect to fall at the hands of that mosquito.
The twelfth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit had lost three grades to that mosquito.
It would probably be difficult for him to settle down in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Gongming suddenly realized that since the luck of the Buddhist Sect would not be peaceful in the future, he would not be able to do so.
Doesn't that mean that my chance has come?
With such a shocking change happening to the item that suppressed the fate of the great sect, it was a foregone conclusion that the Buddhist Sect was in trouble.
If he did not take the opportunity to do something, Zhao Gongming would feel that he had let down the opportunity given by the Buddhist Sect.
Zhao Gongming had the idea of targeting the Buddhist Sect, so the Buddhist Sect was not idle either.
After Zhao Gongming left, the Light King Buddha immediately summoned Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The Light King Buddha said to Ksitigarbha,"Ksitigarbha, the souls of the dead in hell are suffering. Countless souls are wailing day and night in hell.
I hope to be saved all day long. My Buddha is merciful and wants to save everyone. This important task will be handed over to you.”
Ksitigarbha listened to the description of the Light King Buddha. Immediately, the image of countless souls wailing in hell appeared in his mind.
This scene made Ksitigarbha feel great grief, so he replied,"Amitabha! Buddha is merciful! This disciple will not shirk his responsibility!"
Seeing that Ksitigarbha had agreed, the Light King Buddha waved his sleeve, and a strange beast appeared in front of Ksitigarbha.
"Ksitigarbha, this is Truth Listener. From now on, I'll hand it over to you as a means of transportation.”
"Amitabha! Disciple thanks Buddha!"
"Okay, you go!"
"Amitabha! This disciple will take his leave!"
After Ksitigarbha left Spirited Mountain, he didn't even return to Jiuhua Mountain and went straight to the Netherworld.
Outside the gates of hell, Ksitigarbha looked at the dead souls lining up to enter the gate, and his compassion suddenly rose.
He immediately threw his staff and stood in front of the gates of hell, sending down the Great Hongyuan: "I am Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect. I feel the pain of the dead souls. Today, I make a great wish.
Only when all living beings are saved can one attain Bodhi!"
Ksitigarbha made a great wish. Under the Heavenly Dao's perception, a huge amount of merit immediately fell.
It directly entered Ksitigarbha's head.
In the Purple Myrtle Palace, Zhao Gongming was filled with admiration when he heard Ksitigarbha's grand wish.
No matter what Ksitigarbha's purpose was, he made this great wish.
However, just this compassion was enough to make Zhao Gongming admire him.
If hell was not empty, he would not become a Buddha.
What kind of willpower was required?
This hell isn't just the eighteen levels of hell that I've set up.
The real hell was actually below the Nine Levels of Underground.
It was on the same level as Dipamkara's punishment, and there were even places below it.
If he wanted to convert those souls, he would first have to face the test of the environment.
Hellfire was just an ordinary existence. There were even more terrifying existences beneath the land of Hellfire.
After passing the test of the environment, he still had to face the stubborn souls of the dead.
The souls there were not only sinful, but also unrepentant.
As the saying goes, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
The souls there were like this. They were already clear-headed, but they were unwilling to repent.
Even though Zhao Gongming had set up the eighteen levels of hell and punished them for their sins, they were unwilling to repent. Naturally, they would not be able to return.
In other words, I know I'm wrong, but I don't want to change. What can you do to me?
Even gods and buddhas would find it hard to save those who were unwilling to save themselves.
This was the greatest test.
Becoming a Buddha was only a fruit position and would not affect the advancement of one's cultivation. This was still acceptable.
However, if he did not attain Bodhi, the consequences would be severe.
To the people of the Buddhist Sect, attaining Bodhi was the threshold to enter the Quasi-Sage Stage.
With the help of the Heavenly Dao, Ksitigarbha became a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
However, from now on, the hell was not empty, and all living beings were not saved. Ksitigarbha's cultivation could not be improved anymore.
No matter how much merit he had, he couldn't become a Quasi-Sage.
How could Zhao Gongming not admire such perseverance?
Some people might say that it was already very rare for Ksitigarbha to advance from a Primordial Immortal to a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal in a day.
But was that really the case?
This was not how accounts were calculated.
Why didn't Heavenly Lord Yuanshi use the Nine Transformations Golden Pill to restore the cultivation of the disciples of the Clan of Enlightenment?
Wasn't it for the future of Chan School's disciples?
This meant that Ksitigarbha's Dao path had been cut off before he could complete his grand wish.
From then on, he would always be at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm.
Ksitigarbha's grand wish had shocked the Light King Buddha.
When he heard Ksitigarbha's grand wish, the Light King Buddha was so angry that the scripture in his hand fell to the ground.
This Penniless Monk asked you to convert the souls of the Netherworld, but you directly fell into it.
With Ksitigarbha's aptitude, he would have been qualified to step into the Quasi-Sage realm after the Buddhist Sect flourished.
Now, no matter how prosperous the Buddhist Sect's luck was, Ksitigarbha's cultivation could not improve anymore.
