Chapter 24: Netherworld and Black Ksitigarbha
"Although these so-called Lords of the Netherworld are powerful, they are no match for me as long as I am given enough time! Netherworld, prepare to bear my wrath!" Li Ye clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.

"Master, what is the origin of this Netherworld?" Li Ye couldn't help but ask.

"This netherworld is a long story. Its establishment is related to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"Do you know the origin of the underworld?" the master asked Li Ye.

"Master, Li Ye doesn't know." Li Ye was stunned at first, then shook his head.

"More than four thousand years ago, the Great Thousand Worlds created the Underworld. They created the four sacred trees, Linghuai, Longtao, Diyu, and Fusang, and placed them in the four corners of the spiritual realm. The Yuling Clan appeared. They were the original inhabitants of the Underworld. The gods of the Great Thousand Worlds created four sacred beads and handed them over to the Yuling Clan, letting them be the managers of the Underworld. They were given the power and responsibility to manage the dead, protect the balance of the Underworld, prevent evil spirits from wreaking havoc, and maintain order in the human and ghost worlds. From then on, the Great Yutian and the eight Yuling Envoys ruled the Underworld."

"He also sent Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to supervise the Yuling Clan. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, with great love in his heart, vowed not to attain Buddhahood until hell is empty, and he continues to save the evil spirits."

"But the good times didn't last long. Soon an accident occurred. Ten suns appeared in the sky. Hou Yi shot down the suns and crushed the Fusang tree, causing the three realms to separate."

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had no choice but to leave the underworld and return to the universe, but he knew that his great wish of not becoming a Buddha until hell was empty had not yet been fulfilled, so he spent a lot of time and effort to create an avatar to let the avatar save the evil spirits on his behalf."

"But the incarnation is not Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva after all. The purpose of creating this incarnation is to save evil spirits. It has an innate obsession. Over the long years, the incarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has lived in the underworld, saving evil spirits day and night without rest."

"This incarnation does not have the invulnerability of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's original body. During the long process of converting evil spirits, it was infiltrated by the aura of the underworld, disturbed by the boundless malice of evil spirits, and coerced by the suffering and evil thoughts of the world. Finally, it deteriorated and became evil. After it was blackened, it called itself Black Ksitigarbha!"

"This, this is a bit like the script of the Evil Sword Immortal, who was influenced by malicious evil thoughts and turned evil." Li Ye said to himself.

"Black Ksitigarbha's obsession with not becoming a Buddha until hell is empty led him to want to destroy the entire underworld. He then recruited and coerced many vicious criminals and extremists to form the Netherworld Organization."

"This Netherworld Organization has eight Lords, all of whom are top warriors of the Great Scorch Reaper. Each Lord has ten followers under him. Originally, they hid in the dark and rarely took action, but since the destruction of the Samsara Gate, their actions have gradually become more frequent."

The Master told Li Ye everything about the Netherworld Organization.

"Sure enough, this underworld is more complicated than the one in the comics of my previous life, and the water is much deeper. I remember that the Bodhisattva was mentioned by the Hell Boy in the comics, but now, Black Ksitigarbha has already emerged in the underworld." Li Ye's mood was complicated.

Li Ye's inner fighting spirit is even stronger. This is the grand world of Zhenhun Street. He wants to reach the pinnacle in this world and leave an indelible mark of his own in this world.

"Also, your grandfather asked me to tell you that after you leave Dead Soul Island, go to Chang'an City in the human world. Your grandfather has something to tell you."

"Ah? Okay, I understand. Thank you, Master." Li Ye was stunned at first, then nodded.

"It's nothing, you can leave now." The teacher smiled kindly and ordered him to leave.

"Okay, come visit me again when you have something to do. I'm leaving first." Li Ye stood up and left the yard.

The Master and Confucius watched Li Ye's back as he left, in silence. The Master then put away the chessboard, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea until he finished the last sip. He put the cup down, stood up, looked into the distance, and whispered:
"This is a time of great contention. There are three martial gods, two of the most powerful human martial spirits, Youming, Huangfu Longdou, and those strong men from different time and space. Now there is also the monster Li Ye. What a cruel era, and what a dazzling era."

Confucius also stood up and spoke slowly: "Heaven is vigorous, so a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement; the earth is gentle, so a gentleman should be virtuous and bear all things! How can a golden fish stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will transform into a dragon!"...

Li Ye realized more clearly that the top priority now was to improve his strength. His enemies and opponents were more numerous and stronger than he had imagined.

Xiang Kunlun and Diao Lingyun are much older than him. If he wants to successfully seize the Hall of Heroes, he must defeat Xiang Kunlun and Diao Lingyun. He must seize every minute and every second to practice and improve his strength.

Not to mention the people from the Netherworld, the eight great lords are all extremely powerful. Their target is the Seven Star Dragon Spring, which means that he will also be their target.

An inexplicable sense of urgency weighed on my heart.

After passing the assessment, they became students in the intermediate class, and the curriculum changed significantly.

In the following time, Li Ye attended classes seriously, practiced diligently, and practiced day and night. His spiritual power and physical body improved in tandem, and his strength increased rapidly.

There is no plot like the urban cool novels in which Long Aotian pretends to be cool and picks up girls, and tramples on the Dead Soul Island. There is no youth campus plot with affectionate and sweet love, and falling in love on the Dead Soul Island.

Life on the Dead Soul Island is quite boring, with classes and practice being the only things we do.

Under the leadership of Li Ye, Fang Shuwen, Gao Chong, Yang Tianyu, four members of the Wang family gang, and Li Xianyi also worked very hard.

Most of the other gifted students in the genius class also know how to train hard, and often stay in the practice room for ten days or half a month.

On the way, a man named Yang Sui led people to cause trouble for Li Ye. Yang Sui was a descendant of the Yang family, the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. He had a guardian spirit, Yuwen Chengdu, who was a top-level A-level human martial spirit. The second hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, known as General Tianbao, was known for his bravery and invincibility.

He is also surrounded by a group of descendants of the heroes of the Sui Dynasty, such as Yang Yun, whose guardian spirit is Yang Lin, also an A-level human martial spirit, known as the King of Backers. There is also Han Xun, whose guardian spirit is Han Qinhu, an A-level human martial spirit and a famous general of the Sui Dynasty. He Han, whose guardian spirit is He Ruobi, also an A-level human martial spirit and a famous general of the Sui Dynasty. Shi Qiang, whose guardian spirit is Shi Wansui, an A-level human martial spirit and a famous general of the Sui Dynasty. There is also Lai Ye, whose guardian spirit is Lai Huer.

This person was originally in the intermediate class, but is now a student in the advanced class.

Yang Sui was a descendant of Yang Guang. He heard that Li Ye was a descendant of Li Tang and had performed brilliantly in the assessment and became famous, so he came to cause trouble for Li Ye.

Li Ye was not vague and went straight to the fighting arena. This battle attracted a lot of attention. After all, they were both top guardian spirits, and it could be said to be a peak showdown. Moreover, it was the descendants of Li Tang versus the descendants of Yang Sui, involving the grievances between the two dynasties, the grievances between the Li and Yang families, and the show effect was maximized.

Life on the Dead Soul Island is boring, with people either practicing or attending classes. This showdown is a good spice. Many people are looking forward to this battle, and many have decided to go to the Soul Fighting Arena to watch.

The war is about to break out, and everyone is waiting to see.
