Chapter 197: Merits and virtues can bring salvation to the whole family!
"I have heard that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who sits in the Eighteen Layers of Hell, has already accumulated countless merits and possesses the qualifications to attain the status of a saint. However, he did not ascend to the saintly position in order to fulfill the great vow he made in the past."

"It seems that this time he is planning to use the immeasurable merits he has accumulated to attain the status of a saint..."

Dong Wanggong stood aside, looking at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who was constantly gathering golden light of merit, his expression also extremely solemn.

He was not afraid that Ksitigarbha would bring him trouble after attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint.

He just doesn't understand.

Today's rules of the Dao have been tampered with by Hongjun.

What's the difference between the other party becoming a saint now and committing suicide?
"Be careful, this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is from Hou Tu. Hou Tu must have told him about the tampering of the Dao rules. Now that he has attained enlightenment and become a saint, he must have other tricks up his sleeve..."

Queen Mother of the West reminded in a low voice.

After hearing this, Duke Dong immediately became alert.

"Do you want to stop him?"

"Let's try it..."

The two looked at each other and prepared to interfere with Ksitigarbha.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, a saintly pressure burst out from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, which shocked the entire Three Realms and Six Paths.

Followed by.

Suddenly, bursts of dazzling Buddha's light flashed out from the great Buddha statue, like the rising sun, illuminating the entire Nine Netherworld as if it were daytime.

Those Buddha lights contain the prayers and karma of countless living beings, as if they are a force formed by the gathering of countless souls in the entire underworld.

They continued to gather together, and finally gradually condensed into a huge golden Buddha statue around Ksitigarbha.

This Buddha statue is more solemn than the great Buddha's body, and its brows reveal an aura that transcends the world.

"Infinite merits, attaining sainthood!"

The voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came from the Buddha statue, shaking the sky and carrying an unquestionable majesty.

And as his words fell.

An unprecedented aura of saintliness suddenly burst out from the Buddha statue, tearing through the void and rushing straight into the sky.

The Ancestor of the Styx, the King of the East, and the Queen Mother of the West looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.

They never expected that at this critical moment, Ksitigarbha would choose to attain sainthood in this way.

"This guy's boundless merits are so terrifying that he can be compared to Nuwa back then..."

Duke Dong murmured to himself, with a hint of shock in his voice.

Although sanctification through merit is the easiest of the three methods of sanctification.

But in three hundred and sixty lines, he will be the number one scholar.

Anything, once done to the extreme, will become complicated.

The so-called sainthood through merit is a competition of the infinite merits accumulated in one's body.

He and the Queen Mother of the West were both saints who became saints through their merits.

Therefore, it is clear how much influence a person's merits will have on his or her level of strength after becoming a saint.

simply put.

The more immeasurable merits a saint accumulates when he attains sainthood through merit, the higher his state of sainthood will be.

Just like Nuwa from the demon clan.

She became a saint by combining the two great merits of repairing the sky and creating human beings.

Although he is a saint who has attained enlightenment through his merits.

But his strength is enough to be on par with the innate saints like the Three Pure Ones who have killed the three corpses, and is even better.

This is the best proof!

And this moment.

The boundless merits emanating from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are comparable to those possessed by Nuwa back then.

This made the three of the Styx Patriarch instantly realize the seriousness of the problem.

"What a great Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! I never thought he had accumulated so many immeasurable merits. If he could release all of them, his sainthood would surpass ours."

Queen Mother of the West couldn't help but sigh.

Although her position is different from that of Ksitigarbha, at this moment.

She felt a little admiration for the guy in front of her who had been able to hide for so many years.

After all, the realm of saints is the realm that all practitioners dream of.

Once many people have the opportunity to attain enlightenment, they cannot wait to go into seclusion to seek a breakthrough.

However, the other party has endured until now to achieve enlightenment, and that was under such a dangerous situation, which shows his great perseverance.

If such a person succeeds in attaining enlightenment, it would be extremely terrifying.

Nezha and Taiyi Zhenren also felt mixed emotions at this moment.

They were happy for Ksitigarbha's achievements.

But at the same time, I am worried about him.

soon.

Under the gaze of everyone, the huge golden Buddha statue suddenly began to rotate slowly.

Every time it rotates, the surrounding space will cause it to vibrate.

As the Buddha statue's rotation accelerates.

Huge amounts of merit and karma suddenly surged out from the Buddha statue and transformed into golden torrents, sweeping around.

The remaining souls of the underworld gods that were swallowed by the sea of ​​blood of the Styx seemed to have received some kind of summons at this moment. They broke free from the sea of ​​blood and began to circle and dance around the golden Buddha statue.

Their faces were filled with smiles of relief and peace, as if they had achieved transcendence at this moment.

"Is this... a merit-based salvation?"

The face of the old man of the Styx changed drastically.

He didn't expect that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could perform such miracles when he became a saint.

This is no longer the manifestation of Ksitigarbha's personal merits.

Rather, it is a baptism and purification of the entire underworld and the entire netherworld.

The saying "When one person succeeds, all the people around him will benefit" is exactly about this.

As the merits and karma of the Buddha statue continued to be released, the golden light inside Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's body began to become more and more dazzling.

At last.

All the merits and Buddha's light gathered together and turned into a dazzling light that shot up into the sky, breaking through the Nine Netherworlds, and rushed straight to the outside of the Thirty-three Heavens, completely connecting with the Avenue.

That beam of light seemed to contain the faith and hope of the entire underworld.

The figure of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is made to look extremely tall and sacred.

"Welcome Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to attain enlightenment and become a saint!"

At this time, some evil official from the Eighteen Levels of Hell shouted.

Afterwards, the entire Nine Netherworld was filled with shouts of welcome.

this moment.

All the dead souls in the underworld felt unprecedented peace and relief.

Even those evil and wicked ghosts who had committed many evil deeds in their lives and refused to obey discipline after death became quiet at this moment.

They seemed to be expressing their admiration for Ksitigarbha in their own way.

only.

When all the evil spirits in the underworld were immersed in this feeling.

A beam of divine light suddenly fell from the sky and directly covered Ksitigarbha.

"Amitabha~"

"The karma of sentient beings in the southern Jambuvipa who do evil is like this. The power of karma is so great that it can rival Mount Sumeru, be as deep as the ocean, and can hinder the path of the saints..."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed to have known that the divine light of the Great Dao would fall at the moment he became a saint, and did not seem too panicked.

He turned around to look at Nezha who was resisting the Styx Patriarch, then smiled and said, "Third Prince, I will go ahead, and the rest is up to you..."
