Chapter 164 Ksitigarbha makes a vow.
The saint Zhunti broke into the underworld and looked at the person in front of him, who was the ancestor of the Xuanming witch, with surprise on his face.
He couldn't figure out why Xuan Ming came, nor did he know whether Xuan Ming was sent by Empress Pingxin.
"Xuanming Ancestral Witch, what are you doing?"
The Ancestral Witch Xuanming looked at the Saint Zhunti and an unfamiliar person in front of him with a dark face.
"Saint Zhunti, the Emperor of Fengdu told me that someone broke into the underworld and asked me to come and take the person away."
"What surprised me was that the person who broke into the underworld was actually you, Saint Zhunti."
"Saint Zhunti, have you forgotten what Daozu Hongjun promised when the underworld was opened up?"
"The Emperor of Fengdu once said that those who are at the Golden Immortal level or above are not allowed to enter. If anyone breaks into the underworld by force, the people of the underworld will kill him and his soul will be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell."
"Saint Zhunti, this is something Daozu Hongjun promised himself. Have you forgotten it?"
"You have crossed the line by doing this. Aren't you afraid that Lady Pingxin will take action and suppress you in the underworld?"
"Don't you think that Daozu Hongjun won't suppress you after you get out?"
When the Saint Zhunti heard this, his expression did not change, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he forced himself to calm down.
"The Xuanming Ancestral Witch is joking. On that day, the Fengdu Emperor said that the Golden Immortals were not allowed to enter the underworld, but he did not say that the saints were not allowed to enter the underworld."
"Moreover, Daozu Hongjun also promised to grant Golden Immortals, not Saints."
"I still remember the events of that day vividly. When I think back on them now, it's as if they happened yesterday."
After hearing this, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming looked at the Saint Zhunti.
"Saint Zhunti, are you really not going to leave the underworld?"
The Bodhisattva Cundi smiled and shook his head.
"Xuanming Zuwu, I came here this time for an important matter. I will not leave until the matter is completed."
After hearing these words, Xuanming Ancestral Witch looked towards Zhunti Saint with helplessness in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, very good."
"Saint Zhunti, I have repeatedly asked you to leave the underworld, but you refused to leave. If something really happens, don't blame me for not reminding you."
After saying this, he walked back to where he came from.
As he walked, he shouted loudly.
"Emperor Fengdu, the person coming is the Saint Zhunti. He is too strong for me to defeat. You should just suppress him."
"I have already done my best to show my courtesy and repeatedly invited you, but Saint Zhunti just doesn't want to leave. You can just suppress him."
After Xuanming Zuwu said this, he disappeared.
When the Saint Zhunti heard this, his face turned pale.
He began to mobilize the power of heaven, preparing to face the crisis that might arise at any time.
However, no matter how he mobilized it, the power of heaven could not enter.
Moreover, in this underworld, he felt that his connection with the great heavenly way was becoming weaker and weaker.
At this moment, he already wanted to quit.
However, when he thought about the fact that what he had done was not yet completed, he forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and just looked at Ksitigarbha.
This operation concerns the future of Buddhism and must be successful.
If successful, there might still be a way out for their Buddhist sect.
If they fail, they will have to find a new way, otherwise it will be difficult to expand their sect in the future.
Thinking of this, he looked towards Dizang eagerly.
"Ksitigarbha, please take the oath quickly. Take the oath to the Great Dao."
At this moment, the Bodhisattva Cundi was a little anxious. He looked at Ksitigarbha and asked him to swear an oath to the Great Dao.
This was because, in the underworld, he could not feel the Way of Heaven. If he swore an oath to Heaven, it would be difficult to get a response.
Therefore, he asked Ksitigarbha to swear an oath to the Great Dao.
The Tao is everywhere. Even the underworld was founded by Hou Tu, the ancestor of witches, who swore an oath to the Tao.
As long as Ksitigarbha swore an oath to the Great Dao and received a response from the Great Dao, then there would be nothing to worry about. Ksitigarbha listened to the words of the Saint Zhunti, his face full of determination, and took a step forward.
Looking in the direction of the underworld, and then looking at the sky above the underworld.
It was grey and pitch black, and above the sky, there was a blood moon hanging, emitting an eerie red light.
Dizang looked at the sky above the underworld, clasped his hands together, and had a pious attitude.
"God is above, I, the disciple of the Buddha's guide saint, Ksitigarbha, make a vow today in the underworld."
“I, Ksitigarbha, will not attain Buddhahood until hell is empty.”
"From today on, I, Ksitigarbha, will save the souls of the dead in the underworld."
As Ksitigarbha's voice fell, he waited there.
The Bodhisattva Cundi looked at Ksitigarbha in surprise. He had never imagined that Ksitigarbha would make such a vow.
Remember, once a vow is made, it cannot be changed back.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful.
Although, for the sake of Buddhism, he can give up his own face and put aside the high and mighty face of a saint.
However, he felt a little regretful if he let his disciples spend their entire lives in the underworld.
The oath made by Ksitigarbha has already trapped himself in the underworld for the rest of his life.
Although, one can continuously convert the dead and eliminate their resentment, thereby earning merit.
But this is his disciple's life.
At this moment, he didn't want the Avenue to respond.
He would rather find a new way out than sacrifice his disciples.
However, he was disappointed.
The road is coming,
The Tao is responding to Ksitigarbha.
A pair of eyes appeared above the sky, looking directly at Ksitigarbha.
After staring for a while, a voice finally came out.
"allow."
From this moment on, Dizang could never leave the underworld again.
As the word "approval" was spoken from the Great Dao, merit and virtue followed closely.
Merit is divided into two.
A great merit went towards Ksitigarbha, and after it descended upon him, it directly raised his cultivation level.
By the time his merits were exhausted, Dizang's cultivation had already reached the Quasi-Sage realm from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
In the meantime, he directly crossed over to the realm of Daluo.
A small amount of merit came to the head of the Bodhisattva Cundi, but it disappeared before it even landed on his head.
It goes without saying that this is to repay the merits of heaven.
Inside the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island,
Master Tongtian was stunned by this scene.
"Is this even possible? This Dizang is really cruel. He is locking himself in the underworld for the rest of his life."
"This Zhunti is really cruel. He actually locked his disciple directly into the underworld, leaving him with no freedom in the future."
After hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Master Tongtian.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, is that all? Are you going to say something else?"
"Saint Zhunti has entered the underworld. What he did is a slap in the face of our Jiejiao. Do you just have a few words to express your feelings?"
"Are you sure you don't want to do something else? Or say something else?"
Chen Qing looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu, but looked at him with some mockery, and did not take Zhunti seriously.
For him, since Zhunti has entered the underworld, suppressing him would be a piece of cake, so there is no need to rush.
