Chapter 273 Netherworld Destiny
The power of the God of Incense and Fire comes from the sacrifices of future generations. This means that once the sacrifices of future generations are cut off and they have no source of power, they will become weaker and weaker, and the divine realm will follow. Collapse, then disappear.
But the Pure Land is transformed by the strong, and the great power comes from oneself. Even if the strong dies, the Pure Land will be severely damaged at most, but it will not be destroyed.
Unlike the Divine Realm, without sacrifices, it will soon be destroyed.
And compared to killing the strong, destroying the sacrifice is undoubtedly faster. The internal battles among the human race are extremely fierce. Every once in a while, the vassal states of Kyushu will usher in a new round of new cards.
At that time, I don’t know how many vassal states were rising and how many were declining.
With the rise of vassal states, their underground ancestors will undoubtedly receive more sacrifices and become stronger.
But if the vassal states weaken, then their underground ancestors will also weaken, and they may even be unable to maintain the divine realm and have to reincarnate.
The power of these sacrificial gods does not belong to themselves, but depends entirely on the abilities of future generations. The randomness is too great, and it is far less stable than the strong. Strong is strong, weak is weak, not sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
But no matter what, whether it is the divine realm or the pure land, they are essentially a resistance to the oppression of heaven, forcibly changing the harsh environment of the netherworld to make it suitable for ghosts to survive.
For ghosts, this is a good thing, but for heaven, this is a bad thing. Therefore, Heaven regards the Pure Land as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eye, and is always trying to remove it.
Of course, although Heaven hates the Pure Land, it can also realize that its methods are too drastic through the resistance of all living beings.
Therefore, He followed the trend and established the Netherworld Destiny. While uprooting the Pure Land, He also changed the operating mode of the Netherworld.
The reason why the environment in the Netherworld is so bad is simply that Heaven wants to use this method to force the ghosts who go to the Netherworld to reincarnate as soon as possible.
However, the method was too drastic, which aroused the monks' rebellious psychology, and they opened up pure lands one after another and went against the way of heaven.
In this case, all you need to do is set up a Yin Division, set up ghost envoys, recruit Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers, and let them escort the ghosts to the land of reincarnation.
In this way, there is no need to use harsh environments to force ghosts to take the initiative to reincarnate. After that, the harsh environment has no purpose and will naturally change, getting better and better as time goes by.
......
"The Yin Division, like the Heavenly Palace, is an important part of the cycle of heaven and earth. If it is established, it can extend the life of heaven and earth."
Ao Bing has a vague idea. What he has learned is that chaos cannot last forever. Only by establishing a stable order can the existence of heaven and earth be extended, and even the heaven and earth be promoted and derive more resources.
The Yin Division involves the continuation of heaven and earth, and even if its status is not as good as that of heaven, it cannot be underestimated. In later generations, Buddhism and Taoism achieved great prosperity by establishing the underworld.
Now that Ao Bing has taken the lead in setting up the Underworld Division, he can also win the opportunity for Shinto to prosper in a lifetime.
With this thought in mind, Ao Bing stepped forward and rushed towards the Netherworld region that he perceived as corresponding to the Dragon Realm.
Within a few steps, he arrived at his destination, which was an area shrouded in faint light. It was a very small area, only about a thousand miles in radius.
The light comes from the Dragon Qi. Threads of golden Dragon Qi pour into the Netherworld from the Dragon Realm, creating a small pure land. While illuminating this place, it also provides shelter for the souls of the Dragon Realm who enter it. .
Without the protection of this small pure land, the mortals who died in the Dragon Realm over the past hundred years would probably be killed by the Yin Qi and their souls would be scattered.
As for reincarnation, in order to destroy the Pure Land, the Yin Qi in the Nether World is getting heavier and heavier. Even Ao Bing will feel cold when he enters it.
He is like this, let alone a mortal. I was afraid that I would freeze to death halfway before reaching the land of reincarnation.
"Hey, is that the pure land of the Su Kingdom? The move was really fast."
Suddenly, Ao Bing seemed to feel something and looked not far away. There, a bright divine light swayed, like a bonfire in the dark night, extremely conspicuous.
This is also a pure land, and it is not far from the Dragon Realm Pure Land. No need to think too much, it must be the pure land belonging to the Su Kingdom.
Because the force closest to the Dragon Territory is the original Su State and the current Su State. In fact, the current location of Longyu Pure Land is the core of the original Su Pure Land.
It’s just that the Su Kingdom was destroyed before and was renamed Su Kingdom. Although the sacrifices were not stopped, the vitality was greatly damaged. They had to move to the divine realm and come to the area corresponding to New Sioux City.
It’s not possible without moving. The original Su City was sealed to Ao Bing, and correspondingly, the corresponding area in the Netherworld was also sealed to him.
This is everyone else's territory. If they don't move away, they are disrespectful. When Ao Bing comes to his senses, he might just kill them.
If you don’t want to die, you will naturally want to move away.
"The weakening of the Pure Land is as simple as that. With Su Pure Land, we will be unlucky next. I am afraid that many ancestral spirits will be forced to reincarnate or be devoured by powerful enemies."
Looking away, Ao Bing shook his head and sighed.
Due to the harsh environment in the Netherworld, competition is even more fierce. If ghosts want to become stronger, in addition to absorbing Yin Qi and incense, there is also a more direct way, which is to devour each other.
By devouring the remaining ghosts and refining their soul power, you can quickly increase your strength.
In the past, Su Pure Land was extremely powerful and was the overlord of the nearby area. The Pure Lands from all directions would offer a large number of ghosts to it every once in a while.
But as I said, that was in the past, but now the Su Kingdom has been destroyed and fallen into the Su Kingdom, and the Su Pure Land's strength has plummeted. Pure Land, which was previously oppressed by him, will never let go of this opportunity and will definitely come back with revenge.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Yousu Pure Land is a huge piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite.
The reason why they haven’t taken action yet is because Su Pure Land’s prestige is too deep, and the surrounding forces cannot understand its depth for a while, so they dare not take action.
You can wait for a while. When Su Jingtu's weakness is completely exposed, the surrounding forces will swarm him. Not only will they eat him up, they will also severely damage him and reduce him to a low-level force.
"With the Su country's millions of years of heritage, it can be regarded as a big opportunity. Instead of taking advantage of outsiders, it is better to take advantage of me, a son-in-law with a Su family."
After thinking about it, Ao Bing felt that since Su Pure Land was destined to him, he really shouldn't take advantage of outsiders. In other words, all the pure lands in the Netherworld are destined to him and should be acquired by him.
With just a cursory glance, Ao Bing discovered that there are as many pure lands in the Netherworld as there are stars, large and small, scattered all over the Netherworld, too numerous to count.
And if you want to open up a pure land, even the smallest pure land, you need the cultivation of a heavenly being. Just looking at the number of these pure lands, you can tell how many powerful people there are in the Netherworld.
No wonder there are so many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Dharma protectors, messengers and Arhats in the Buddhist path in later generations. Ao Bing probably understood how Buddhism and Taoism rose in later generations.
There are really too many pure lands in the Netherworld. If they were integrated together, they would undoubtedly be an extremely terrifying force.
There is no doubt that the prosperity of Buddhism in later generations started from the annexation, no, it should be said from the transfer of these pure lands.
Every time you cross a piece of pure land, the strength of Buddhism will become stronger. If all of them are transformed, Buddhism will inevitably grow into a behemoth. Even Jie Jiao, who is now at its peak, will be far behind. Jiejiao is just a sect, even if the leader has different teachings, the immortals he can teach are far less than what he has accumulated over countless years in the Nether World.
Since then, the Earth Lady has transformed into reincarnation and opened up the Netherworld, which has become the home of the dead.
Now, hundreds of millions of years have passed, and even though most of the dead souls have dissipated, the number of remaining dead souls is still extremely terrifying. Most of these dead souls are concentrated in the Pure Land.
If Buddhism can transform all the pure lands, its power will expand so fast. Just thinking about it makes people stunned. No wonder Buddhism in later generations can compete with immortality.
Three thousand Buddhas are nothing. If you master the underworld, even thirty thousand Buddhas can be created.
Of course, transforming all the pure lands is just talk. Buddhism has not done it, nor is it capable of doing it.
After all, the strong men in the East are not blind. It is impossible for them to know nothing about the actions of the West. At most, they will lose the opportunity, but it is impossible for the West to take advantage of all the benefits.
In addition to the Pure Land of Buddhism, the Immortal Path also has a Pure Land in the Nether World, which is called the Pure Land of the Ten Directions. It is controlled by Taiyi, the leader of the Netherworld, who saves suffering.
It can be seen that after Buddhism and Taoism, Immortal Taoism also set its sights on the underworld, and did not allow Buddhism and Taoism to dominate and take advantage of it.
But, thinking of Taiyi rescuing Ku Tianzun, if Ao Bing’s prediction is correct, this person should undoubtedly be Taiyi Zhenren.
But Zhenren Taiyi had already been put on the list of gods by him before. I don’t know if Taiyi can still become the Suffering Heavenly Lord after being listed on the list.
Probably not because he is on the list, but because Ao Bing has set his sights on the Netherworld. In this pure land, Buddhism can transform it, immortality can guide it, and Ao Bing can naturally educate it as well.
Whoever makes the first move belongs to him.
"Humph, I have the destiny of the Netherworld and am responsible for establishing the Underworld. The pure lands in the Netherworld are all my obstacles and I must remove them one by one."
"This is the destiny! "
"Only I, with the talisman of the heavenly way, am qualified to educate and transform the Pure Land. The rest, whether it is the immortal way or the Buddhist way, can't take action against the Pure Land without my consent. "
"Otherwise, it will be against God's will and will be punished by God!"
Thinking that after the Conferment of Gods was over, the Buddhist, Taoist and Immortal societies would come to the Nether Realm one after another to compete with him for opportunities, Ao Bing decided to insure himself to the Tao first.
It’s impossible to win. The two families are so powerful that he can’t compete without using some means.
Thinking like this, Ao Bing did not rush to connect the human world and the underworld and build a city god system. Instead, he first set up an altar in the center of the Dragon Realm Pure Land to prepare sacrifices to heaven.
"The way of heaven is above. Now my disciple Ao Bing sees that the underworld is disordered and reincarnation is abnormal, so he wants to establish the underworld and set up eighteen levels of hell. The judges are impermanent, and the underworld soldiers and ghosts..."
In front of the altar, Ao Bing told the responsibilities of the Yinsi in future generations one by one, helping Heaven to evolve the underworld system, thus firmly holding the destiny of the Yinsi in his hands.
In this way, even if someone wants to seize the opportunity in the future, they must first seek his consent. For example, if he does not agree to transfer to the Pure Land, then no matter who transfers to the Pure Land, it will be regarded as violating God's will.
Of course, heaven will not care about this trivial matter, and there will be no punishment even if it is violated. If Ao Bing has the ability to stop it, that's fine. If he doesn't, he can only stare.
But no matter what, he got the name. Maybe he didn't have the strength to stop it at the time, but it didn't matter. After he became stronger, he could liquidate it at any time.
A benevolent king does not raise unknown soldiers. He must first grasp the righteousness, and then he can fight whoever he wants. This is very important. After all, there was order in the prehistoric times. It does not mean that you can beat whoever you want.
Before starting a war, there must be a reasonable reason, otherwise it will lead to public anger and be easily attacked by the crowd.
Boom!
As soon as Ao Bing finished reading his memorial speech, a thunderbolt sounded in his mind.
Then, a force of heaven came to his sea of consciousness, rolling and gradually evolving into the appearance of the underworld.
The Yellow Spring and the Styx, the Gate of Hell, the Wangxiang Terrace, the Evil Mirror Terrace, the Naihe Bridge, the Eighteen Levels of Hell...
The dense ghostly aura filled the air, rendering Ao Bing's sea of consciousness into a The black color gradually becomes colder, revealing a third degree of evil intent, like a demon from purgatory.
But the strange thing is that there is no evil in Ao Bing's body, but he reveals infinite righteousness.
Evil intention and righteousness are two completely opposite breaths, but they are mixed together strangely. Maybe this is the legendary righteousness and evil.
The Lord of the Netherworld, who controls the Netherworld on behalf of Heaven, must be extremely righteous. But dealing with evil spirits all the year round, it is inevitable to be contaminated with evil spirits, which looks quite scary.
But it is precisely because of this that evil spirits can be deterred.
“Netherworld Taoist Scripture!”
After coming back to his senses, Ao Bing understood the origin of the Netherworld in the Sea of Consciousness. It was a top-level innate Taoist scripture that specialized in cultivating the soul. After it was completed, it could evolve into the Netherworld in the Sea of Consciousness and silently capture the soul.
It sounds like an evil law, but according to the law of heaven, how could it be an evil law? This is the first dharma of the underworld, deduced by heaven based on the underworld framework proposed by Ao Bing.
Therefore, this method is both the method of cultivation and the design of the underworld.
Create the netherworld according to this picture. After success, you will not only gain immeasurable merits, but also become the supreme master of heaven and earth, control the netherworld, and be with heaven and earth.
“Although it is a method of cultivating the soul, the vitality can transform into the physical body and the soul, and I can also practice it.”
The physical body and the soul cannot communicate with each other, but the vitality is based on the two and takes the best of both. It can evolve both the physical body and the soul.
So, whether it’s the Soul Cultivation Technique, the Body Cultivation Technique, or Qi Cultivation, you can practice it.
"The destiny has been obtained. Next, it is time to establish the Yin Division."
The goal has been achieved, Ao Bing no longer hesitated, turned his back to the altar, faced the Dragon Realm Pure Land, and prepared to proceed. The first step in establishing the Underworld Division is to build the City God system.
The matter of clearing the Pure Land can be postponed, but the matter of escorting the ghosts to reincarnation cannot be delayed. Because this is what Tiandao values the most. If Ao Bing dares to delay, Tiandao will dare to take back the Netherworld's destiny.
The purpose of the city god system is to collect the souls of the dead, examine the good and evil, and then send them to the underworld.
It can be said that the City God system perfectly meets the needs of heaven and can be realized immediately. This is the reason why Ao Bing can obtain the destiny of the underworld.
