Wudang Mountain.
The two sages of the West saw that they could not do anything and would not stay for long.
Seeing that the matter had been settled and that the authority of the Hungry Ghost Dao had not fallen into the hands of the Western Cult, Sanqing also left one after another. However, the leader of Tongtian Cult silently glanced at Xuanchen a few more times as he left.
The idea is to let him cause less trouble and not have him everywhere.
Nuwa also left, and only Houtu, Zhenwu and Xuanchen were left at the scene.
"Congratulations to fellow Zhenwu Daoist for your successful transformation. I wonder what your plans are?" Hou Tu asked first.
Zhenwu pondered for a moment, there was really no good place to go now, and then he looked around again. Seeing that Wudang Mountain was beautiful and full of spiritual energy, it could be regarded as a paradise, so he planned to settle down here.
"I have nowhere to go for the time being, but this is a good place for a dojo. After I get back the spiritual treasure from my previous life, I will open a cave here and concentrate on practicing, hoping to become a saint as soon as possible."
"As for the authority of the master of the Demonic Beast Path, if I meet a suitable creature, I will enlighten it and complete the number of the twelve earthly branches."
As for why I didn’t go back to Beihai, it was because Beihai was too deserted.
Although there are many living beings, the only one who can be called a Taoist friend is the Zhiming Sage.
However, I have been playing chess with Zhi Ming for who knows how many years, and I am getting a little bored. At best, I can take the time to go back and see him occasionally.
Although there is a quasi-sage like Kunpeng in Beihai, Zhenwu doesn't like this kind of guy who adapts to the situation.
"Then I wish you fellow Taoist to attain enlightenment as soon as possible!" Hou Tu nodded and said.
This Wudang Mountain is indeed a good place, and it is qualified as a dojo for Zhenwu.
Xuan Chen also spoke respectfully at this time: "Senior, I have given your spiritual treasure to Junior Sister Gui Ling in accordance with your previous instructions. She should be at Jin'ao Island now. Do you need me to take you there?"
Zhenwu shook his head and said: "I'll go there by myself. I've been in Beihai for too long and I haven't had a good look at the ancient scenery. I just want to have some fun along the way."
"It's not a matter of urgency to take back the spiritual treasure."
That's right, with Zhenwu Hunyuan Golden Immortal's perfect cultivation level, even if he doesn't have a spiritual treasure, few people can do anything to him.
Moreover, he has been staying in Beihai since the beginning of the world, so he must be very curious about the scene of the prehistoric times!
So Xuan Chen didn't persuade him much, just bowed his hands and left.
The west.
Mount Sumeru.
The Second Saint of the West returned home in vain this time, naturally feeling a little unwilling.
Zhunti said to Jie Yin: "Brother, the power of reincarnation is of great use in improving our Western teachings. Do we really give up like this? The position of an authentic saint is so difficult."
"Houtu and Jumang used the black and yellow spiritual light to protect the true spirit, and then they used the power of the law to prove themselves to be true saints."
"Although the Heavenly Saints also have abilities similar to the Xuanhuang Divine Light, which can be said to be immortal in the prehistoric times, the great prosperity of the West was decided by the Dao Ancestors. If we switch to the Earthly camp, the gains will outweigh the losses!"
"And we don't have the opportunity to complete the prehistoric world. Houtu completes the reincarnation, Jumang takes the place of Kanzhou Mountain, and Tongtian completes the western earth line with his body. I really don't find any imperfections in the prehistoric world. ."
"If we had known that we would complement the Western Earth Line with our bodies and have a chance to become an authentic saint, we would have come here on our own. How could we have been taken advantage of by that guy Tongtian."
It has to be said that Zhunti's shamelessness once again set the lower limit of prehistoric times.
The leader of Tongtian used his body to complement the western land line, but not only did not receive the gratitude of the other party, but he thought that the other party had cut off his opportunity.
The Western Earth Line has been broken for an unknown amount of time. Although the Second Sage of the West is also working hard to repair it, they are all searching for resources from the East and have never thought about sacrificing their lives.
Jie Yin also had a sad look on his face and said: "How could I not know this? It's just that the Six Authentic Saints have now occupied three positions. Zhen Yuanzi and Beihai Xuangui are almost the authentic saints appointed by the emperor."
"But these two people are not easy to deal with. Zhen Yuanzi has a good relationship with Houtu Sanqing, and Beihai Xuangui has a lot of causal entanglements with Daozu. It is really not something we can make decisions about."
"So, the only thing we can plan for is the position of the last authentic saint."
"I will try my best to capture this last holy throne. When I have three saints in the west, will I still be afraid of Sanqing, Nuwa and others?"
The West has been in trouble for a long time, but both of them are determined people who will not give up easily.
Suddenly, Zhunti had an idea and said: "Senior brother, you said that when we were saints, our merits were not enough and we intercepted them from the way of heaven. Can an authentic saint also borrow them?"
"Ksitigarbha now has the realm of the underworld. Maybe you can give it a try?"
"There is also Jiejiao Xuanchen. He has his shadow behind Hou Tujumang's becoming a saint. He can be seen in many important events. Dao Ancestor also looks at him differently. I even suspect that he has escaped."
The Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and one of them escapes.
But it's a pity that Xuanchen is not the one who escaped, he is just a fish following the sign and going upstream.
The one that escaped was the great avenue of power. After transforming into the prehistoric world with his filthy body, Pangu replaced the one that escaped with the three realms of heaven, earth and man. Therefore, everyone in the prehistoric world was the one that escaped.
The word fate means fate is a fixed number and luck is a variable. Different choices will lead to different futures.
The Great God Pangu had long since given away his share to every living creature in the wilderness, but no one knew about it.
Daozu Hongjun must have known it, but Xuanchen had guessed it himself.
Life is like crossroads, where you are constantly making choices, and your choices determine your destiny.
If Hongyun didn't give up his seat, maybe he would have a place among today's Tiandao saints?
If the Duke of the East had been more humble and followed the example of the Queen Mother of the West, who lived in seclusion and practiced cultivation, maybe he would not have died twice?
In the same way, if Hou Tu had not chosen to reincarnate, would he have had the chance to become a true saint?
If Ju Mang didn't have the determination to move forward, even if Xuan Chen gave him the Xuanhuang Divine Light and told him that Tongtian Jianmu could replace Mount Buzhou, would he dare to try?
The leader of Tongtian may have also seen this, so he teaches without distinction and recruits many disciples, because among so many prehistoric creatures, there will always be those who choose the right path.
Jie Yin nodded and said: "This idea can be given a try. It just so happens that Ksitigarbha and Kinnara once worked with Xuan Chen to repair the Western Earth Line, and they have a friendship, so they can go and inquire about it."
"However, Ksitigarbha's current cultivation level is no more than the middle stage of Da Luo, so there is little hope of success."
Ksitigarbha is his disciple. If he can become a saint, it will be of great benefit.
It should be noted that these saints in the prehistoric era are either disciples of Taoist ancestors or people who have heard the sermon in Zixiao Palace. Even Hou Tujumang and his two brothers went there when they first preached in Zixiao Palace.
It’s just that the twelve ancestral shamans don’t cultivate their souls. Except for Hou Tu who was present for all three sermons, the other eleven ancestral shamans heard it for the first time and never went there again. ,
But once I heard it, I heard that all the saints in the prehistoric times had a connection with Tao Ancestor.
If Ksitigarbha can become a saint, doesn’t that mean that their Western followers are good?
In addition to the disciples of Taozu, if the disciples he leads become saints, doesn't it mean that they have the potential to become Taozu? Many talented people in the ancient times will also choose to join the Western religion. Then can the great prosperity of the West be far behind?
As for the consequences of borrowing money from Heaven?
Anyway, borrowing two is still borrowing, and borrowing three is still borrowing. Don’t worry if you have too many debts.
As long as the West can prosper, everything will be worth it.
Soon, Ksitigarbha received the news and learned about the plan to pick up Zhunti and the others. He first went to find Xuan Chen, hoping to find out from Xuan Chen the opportunity to be promoted to an authentic saint.
It's a pity that Xuanchen doesn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't tell Ksitigarbha.
Hou Tu was her own opportunity. Although Ju Mang was his idea and Xuanhuang Youling Divine Light, he did not have a second chance of that kind and could not think of a second chance.
The Tongtian Cult Leader's use of Shenhe to complement the Western Earth Line was his own understanding and had little to do with Xuan Chen.
At most, Xuan Chen and Zhen Yuanzi's restoration of the Western Earth Line gave him some inspiration.
Looking at Ksitigarbha's leaving figure, Xuanchen secretly thought that the Second Saint of the West would not give up the power of reincarnation so easily, but he just didn't know what the other party would think of.
But it has little to do with myself.
The conditions he set were so difficult. If the Western religion could really achieve the Three Saints, it would be worthy of its great success, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Ji Zang returned to the Netherworld with a disappointed look on his face, and then remembered what Jie Yin said to him.
Looking at the ghosts wandering in the underworld, he seemed to have made up his mind.
"Heaven is above, but Ksitigarbha is a poor man. Seeing the misery of all sentient beings, they will also suffer from the karma of cause and effect after death. There are endless ghosts in the netherworld and hell. I hereby make a vow to save the hundreds of millions of ghosts in hell."
"If hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha. Only when all sentient beings are saved can I realize Bodhi."
"Please let Heaven take note of this."
Immediately, Heaven rained down countless merits, which represented the recognition of Ksitigarbha's vow.
The two sages of the West were overjoyed when they saw this. Most people would not lend merits to Heaven if they borrowed money from Heaven. However, Ksitigarbha has the realm of the underworld and is recognized by Heaven in a sense.
Sanqing was also shocked. Could it be that the position of the last authentic saint was really going to be occupied by Western religions?
Loan? Wouldn't it be true that there will be many guys who borrow money from Tiandao in the future?
The merits enter the body, and Ksitigarbha directly uses them to improve the realm.
The late Daluo Jinxian.
Daluo Jinxian is perfect.
Early stage of quasi-sage.
Quasi-sage mid-term.
But it stopped abruptly at this time, no more merit entered the body, and Ksitigarbha's cultivation also completely stopped at the mid-stage quasi-sage level.
"How could this happen? This vow can be said to be as good as the forty-eight major vows we made. Why are there only so many merits and why is Ksitigarbha not sanctified?" Zhunti asked in disbelief.
Unfortunately, no one answered him.
Sanqing saw that Ksitigarbha had stopped in the quasi-sage stage and felt relieved. Is becoming a saint so easy?
Hou Tu smiled even more. After Ksitigarbha made this vow, his cultivation will be permanently bound to the Netherworld.
Isn’t hell empty? Do you vow not to become a Buddha?
In this ancient world, people die every moment. How can there be an empty day?
As long as there is no empty day in hell, Ksitigarbha will work for himself every day.
I got a quasi-sage mid-stage coolie for nothing, this wave of blood gain.
Duobao, who was with Xuan Chen, sighed: "This Taoist fellow Ksitigarbha has such great perseverance. If the hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha. I am afraid that even a saint would not dare to take such a big oath!"
So this is the plan of the Two Saints of the West, to let Ksitigarbha learn from them and borrow money from Heaven?
"Hahaha!"
Xuan Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing. Sure enough, Jieying Ksitigarbha was indeed a master and disciple. Didn't the whole family think that they could obtain the position of the last authentic saint by just making a vow?
Duobao asked in confusion: "Junior brother, why are you laughing? I think that fellow Taoist Ksitigarbha is also a man of great perseverance! Otherwise, how could he make such a grand vow?"
Looking at Duobao's serious look, Xuanchen suppressed a smile and explained: "Brother, you don't know, Ksitigarbha wants to learn from the two Western saints and borrow merit to become an authentic saint, but he swears to heaven. Isn't this funny?"
Want to be a real saint, but swear an oath to heaven?
What is the difference between this and using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the current dynasty?
That is to say, Heavenly Dao and Earthly Dao exist on equal footing. Heavenly Dao recognized Ksitigarbha’s vow, but Earthly Dao just ignored it. Otherwise, Ksitigarbha could reap good fruits?
He knew that Ksitigarbha made this vow, but he didn't expect that the reason was to seek the position of an authentic saint.
This was the reason why Xuan Chen burst out laughing.
After hearing this, Duobao found it ridiculous and difficult to understand.
Just now I thought Ksitigarbha was a man of great perseverance. Why does he seem so stupid now?
