Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Li Shundao felt a little dizzy after just one glance from a distance.

Suddenly, several bubbles rose from the Netherworld Blood Sea, and four young men and women emerged from it. The women were naturally beautiful, while the two men were extremely ugly.

Having just emerged from the sea of ​​blood, with a few streaks of blood still occasionally flashing above his head, Li Shundao hurriedly concealed himself in mid-air, quietly watching the four.

The Asura race—Li Shundao had just thought of them when they appeared. Only the Asura race could survive in the Blood Sea. Moreover, the Asura men and women had a common characteristic: the women were all top beauties in the world, while the men were extremely ugly.

These four people, in terms of both physical characteristics and temperament, perfectly matched Li Shundao's impression of the Asura people.

The four walked outside and looked around. The slightly shorter Asura complained, "I told you there was no one here, but you didn't believe me. Who else would dare to come to our Blood Sea besides those bald guys?"

"Alright, Urum, shut up," the female Asura beside him glanced at the leading woman and said irritably to the shorter Asura.

The female Asura leader twitched her brows after hearing this, and looked around again, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. She had clearly sensed the presence of a living person just now, could it be that she had been mistaken?

In the end, the four of them returned to the Blood Sea. Li Shundao glanced at the female Asura who was leading the group, and slowly withdrew from the Blood Sea. It was impossible for him not to be curious. Not to mention that there was the Styx Ancestor, a veteran Quasi-Saint, in the Blood Sea, his four disciples were all Great Luo Golden Immortals, no less than him. Even if he had the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Court behind him, if he angered the Styx Ancestor, even the Jade Emperor probably couldn't save him in the Blood Sea.

After leaving the sea of ​​blood, Li Shundao soon saw faint Buddhist light emanating from the distance. The closer he got, the more and more evil spirits he saw, as well as many Asuras. They all appeared peaceful and kind, showing no signs of being evil spirits at all.

Especially those Asuras who usually had ferocious expressions, they were now not so scary. Li Shundao was secretly surprised, "The Buddhist sect is indeed the most adept at converting people to Buddhism."

Just as Li Shundao was about to leave, he suddenly heard a Buddhist chant in his ear, "Amitabha, since you're here, why not come in and continue our conversation!"

Li Shundao's expression trembled slightly. There were many people in the underworld with such power, but only one person possessed such Buddha light. He immediately understood that the one transmitting the message was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who had vowed "I will not become a Buddha until hell is emptied."

Now that he had been seen through, Li Shundao didn't hesitate any longer and stepped inside. Buddhism was different from the Blood Sea. Although there were two saints, they still had some respect for the Heavenly Court. Even if there was a conflict, it should be fine because of the Heavenly Court. Although Li Shundao didn't want to have any dealings with them now, he wasn't afraid of anything now that he had encountered them.

He had long admired Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and now that the other party had invited him, he was happy to go and see him.

The further Li Shundao went, the deeper his understanding of Buddhist scriptures became. Looking at the halo of Buddha behind these ghostly believers, he nodded to himself. Putting aside everything else, the Buddhist scriptures that just persuade people to do good are worth studying.

As for the idea that Hell would be completely empty, that's impossible. After all, the operation of the Three Realms will inevitably generate Yin spirits. If there were no Yin spirits and Hell were truly empty, then chaos in the Three Realms would not be far off.

Therefore, when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made his great vow, it actually meant that his path to sainthood had been severed. He might reach the quasi-saint realm, or even the perfect quasi-saint realm, but it was completely impossible for him to break through and become a saint.

However, it cannot be said that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great vow was wrong. At least with him around, Buddhism had a chance to get involved in the underworld. Moreover, in the entire prehistoric world, it is estimated that less than one in ten thousand people could become immortals, and as for the Golden Immortals with unlimited lifespans, they were even fewer.

Those who can reach the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal or even Quasi-Saint are extremely rare. As for those who can break through to Sainthood, even veteran Quasi-Saints like the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Zhen Yuanzi, and Kunpeng Ancestor wouldn't dare to say they have absolute confidence.

In fact, the rise of the sages of today, apart from their own extraordinary talents, is more due to their opportunities and luck, and their ability to seize opportunities.

Therefore, the number of people who can become saints in the entire prehistoric world is estimated to be no more than ten, and the probability of these potential saints breaking through is no more than one in a million... no, not even one in ten million. So the quasi-saint realm is already considered the end of the immortal path.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's choice to make a great vow not only severed a hopeless opportunity, but also provided him with a continuous stream of merit and strong support from the entire Buddhist community. As long as he continues to guide the spirits of the underworld, he can obtain endless merit.

According to Li Shundao's calculations, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva must have already broken through to the level of a Quasi-Saint, and he even believed that he was no less powerful than veteran Quasi-Saints like the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Styx Ancestor.

As Li Shundao walked further, the chaotic thoughts in his mind were gradually suppressed by the Buddha's light. Looking at the magnificent Buddha's light not far away, especially the fair and handsome young monk under the Buddha's light, he felt as if he were bathed in spring sunshine. Without saying anything, he had already accepted the other party in his heart, and he felt that the whole world was warm.

"Steadfast and unmoving, like the earth; deep and profound in meditation, like a hidden treasure," upon seeing him, Li Shundao recalled a famous saying he had read in his previous life, which perfectly matched the image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva before him.

"This must be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is widely known in Buddhism for his virtues of 'great filial piety' and 'great vows,' and is therefore commonly referred to as 'Great Vow Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva,'" Even though Li Shundao was already on guard, seeing him still broke half of his guard.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was unlike any of the quasi-saints Li Shundao had ever met before. Whether it was the rising star, the great disciple of the Human Sect, Master Xuandu, or the veteran quasi-saints like the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, the Ziwei Emperor, and the Gouchen Emperor, none of them shared the same temperament as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva before him.

He was as gentle and refined as a noble young master, showing no trace of the aura of a quasi-saint. Looking into his eyes, one could see sincerity and kindness. Without saying a word, just a glance was enough to make a stranger believe him.

If it weren't for his shiny bald head and the Buddhist beads around his neck, Li Shundao would have thought he was that big star!

However, the more this was the case, the more vigilant Li Shundao became. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was truly terrifying. He hadn't used any magic or supernatural powers, yet he had almost made Li Shundao, a Great Immortal, submit to him. If he were to actually recite a passage of scripture, Li Shundao really didn't have the confidence to believe that he could withstand the methods of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

If it weren't for the shock caused by the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Dropping Coin, and the superior innate spiritual treasure, the Ninth-Grade Pure World White Lotus, hidden within the Three Flowers, he might have truly fallen victim to it.

Especially the Ninth Grade Pure World White Lotus, whether it is a superior innate spiritual treasure transformed from the first generation seed of the Twelfth Grade Pure World White Lotus, its ability to purify all things is indeed strong. Just now, it even reacted faster than the Falling Treasure Coin, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Indeed, everyone has their own expertise, and this applies not only to people but also to spiritual treasures. Although the Treasure-Dropping Coin is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, all its functions are related to the God of Wealth. It ranks among the top spiritual treasures in the entire prehistoric world in terms of collecting spiritual treasures and performing divination. However, when it comes to defense, the Treasure-Dropping Coin is quite lacking.
