Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 652 Secret
Fairy hero, lord of the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

To be honest, Xu Yang was a little surprised by this result.

Although immortals are the top rank of heroes, Xu Yang had not expected that the scope of this immortal rank is so broad that even Ksitigarbha, one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, is included in it.

Ignoring those worlds of false Buddhism and pseudo Taoism, as far as the earthly immortal world, the blue star world, the real world and other worlds where Buddhism and Taoism are manifested are concerned, whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, or other major sects, they all emphasize equality.

This equality is not the equality of people, but the equality of Tao and Dharma. It is the equality of the three thousand great ways, all of which lead to the same destination. There is no high or low in Tao, but there are differences among practitioners, and they are uneven, so there are ups and downs.

Taking Buddhism as an example, the three major sources, Tathagata Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Wrathful Vajra King, actually all have the same level of attainment.

As long as one can cultivate to the highest level, there is no difference between the three. Just like the Taoist Three Purities, can you say that Taiqing is stronger than Yuqing, and Yuqing is stronger than Shangqing?
Taoism is equal, there is no high or low, the strength is only between the individual practitioners.

Ksitigarbha is one of the highest levels of Buddha and Bodhisattva. No matter in the world of earthly immortals, the world of blue stars, or the real world, there is the tradition of Ksitigarbha's great vows. Even in the world of blue stars where immortals and Buddhas exist, there is a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who is said to be the top powerful one among the earthly immortals and is almost a celestial being.

Although every world has its own Tao, and has immortals and gods like the Three Pure Ones of Taoism and Sakyamuni of Buddhism, the same Tao does not mean the same realm, and the same realm does not mean the same strength.

For example, the Supreme Taoist Ancestor of the Taoist world has the power to create the world. It is conservatively estimated that he is a Golden Immortal or even a Daluo.

The Supreme Immortal of the Blue Star World is clearly a celestial immortal, because the Immortal Emperor of the Blue Star World is also a celestial immortal, and the masters of all major pantheons are all celestial immortals.

Apart from the great creator god, whose existence is unknown and who is extremely taboo among the major pantheons, no one in the Blue Star Realm has attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, and the Supreme Immortal is naturally no exception.

Comparing in this way, Ksitigarbha of the Blue Star Realm and Ksitigarbha of the Xuanhuang Realm should be on par with each other, because the status of the Blue Star Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm are similar, both are immortal worlds with celestial immortals but no golden immortals.

The world's status is similar, and the status of immortals and gods should not be far apart. Ksitigarbha of the Blue Star Realm is an earthly immortal who is almost a celestial immortal, so no matter what, Ksitigarbha of the Xuanhuang Realm can never fall out of the status of an earthly immortal.

Therefore, Dizang's arrival was beyond Xu Yang's expectations.

This immortal hero even includes earthly immortals?
Where is that fairy?

Isn't he among them?
In addition, when the Emperor of Heaven was defeated and the Xuanhuang Realm became a demonic land, all the immortals and gods decisively withdrew. As an earthly immortal, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva should have been among them as long as he did not die. How could he become the hero of the Tower of Babel?
Did he run back again?

Xu Yang had many questions in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to ask them. He stood aside and waited for Ksitigarbha to save the dead souls.

There are different levels among the immortals. The previous Shibi was at most middle to upper level, and Ksitigarbha was the top-notch one. After all, Xu Yang estimated that it was highly unlikely that a celestial immortal would become a hero, and an earthly immortal was the most likely.

As a top fairy hero, Dizang has reached the third level of perfection when he first arrived, unlike Ao Chi, who needs to be trained from scratch.

In addition, his attributes and skills are also excellent. His first special skill, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, grants high attribute growth, extreme values ​​and damage reduction. Compared with it, Shibi is simply a dwarf.

The second special skill, Hell is Not Empty, is a heaven-defying auxiliary skill that can revive fallen heroes and soldiers after the battle.

Although Xu Yang has the Wushuang Command Platform and can revive heroes, it takes time and is limited by the building level of the Command Platform. He can only revive third-level heroes at most, and it takes a long time to accumulate hero soul points.

Dizang is different, because the special skills are bound to the hero's level. The special skills will be effective according to the hero's level, so Dizang can revive all heroes of the same level, which is equivalent to an efficient and constantly upgrading Wushuang command platform.

The final great wish to save the world, the Lord of the Netherworld, Ksitigarbha, can greatly enhance Ksitigarbha's personal and collective combat power. He can not only train disciples, but also summon former attendants, or appoint disciples as attendants.

As a great Bodhisattva in Buddhism, Ksitigarbha's attendants are also immortals and gods. Not to mention Di Ting, even the Kings of Hell, no matter how bad they are, must have a mythological rank, right?
All in all, this is an extremely powerful fairy hero. As long as he does not die in the middle of the journey, he will surely enter the ninth calamity in the future, or even the tenth level. If he is released, I wonder how many lords will fight for his life.

But these are not what Xu Yang cares about most.

But...

"Namo Amitabha, Yesudataka, Duoyeduodiya, Taamiritupavi..."

The mantra of rebirth echoed in the battlefield. All one could see were rays of Buddha's light and Buddhist chanting. The phantom images of souls became reality.

"Mingxiao Daoists have resurrected!"

"The Yellow Turban Warrior has resurrected!"

"The Flying Tigers have resurrected!"

"The hero "Wu Song" is resurrected!"

"Successfully converted the soul of the enemy hero, Jin Qiaojue gained a personal guard - a disciple of Ksitigarbha!"

"..."

With the cold prompt sound, the heroes and soldiers who had died in the battle were resurrected one after another. Even the souls of the enemy heroes were converted by Ksitigarbha's Dharma and transformed into black-robed monks who came to sit upright beside Ksitigarbha.

This went on for who knows how long before the chanting of the mantra for rebirth ceased, all the dead souls on the battlefield disappeared, and there was no more cold and gloomy wind.

Instead, there are resurrected soldiers and heroes, as well as hundreds of enlightened disciples of Ksitigarbha.

In this war, more than hundreds of heroes and soldiers were killed on both sides of the enemy side, but Ksitigarbha's Hell Is Not Empty is a probabilistic skill and cannot revive everyone or save everyone, so the final result was only this much.

But it was also quite good. The resurrected person was very happy. He came to pay homage to Xu Yang and then paid respect to Ksitigarbha.

Dizang also stood up and came to Xu Yang, clasped his hands together, and sighed: "My power is not enough to save all the souls. Please punish me, my lord!"

Between words, the name changes.

"What are you talking about, Bodhisattva?"

Xu Yang shook his head, helped him up with his empty hands, and invited him to the city: "Would you like to sit in my temple?"

"How dare you disobey your orders!"

"please!"

Xu Yang smiled and led him into the city and into the Taiping Palace.

Then, he got straight to the point and said to him, "I have many doubts, and I hope the Bodhisattva can help me." Dizang smiled and understood, "Is it about the Tongtian Tower and the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss?"

"Not bad!"

Xu Yang nodded and asked in a deep voice: "Is the Bodhisattva the ancient immortal Buddha of Xuanhuang?"

"Yes!"

Dizang did not try to be mysterious: "I am a Xuanhuang Buddhist, and I can indeed be called an ancient immortal Buddha."

Xu Yang nodded and asked again: "In the final battle of ancient times, the Sky Emperor was defeated, Xuanhuang became the Desire Realm Demon Land, and all the great immortals, Buddhas and saints broke through the realm and left. Why did the Bodhisattva end up here?"

"The demon is so powerful that no one can defeat it. The immortals withdrew and the Buddhas went into seclusion in order to preserve Xuan Huang's chance of survival!"

Dizang shook his head and sighed, "I stayed here because I made a vow to save all the suffering beings. I couldn't withdraw when they were in trouble, so I stayed in Xuanhuang to fight with the demon. In the end, I was defeated and died. Only this soul was led here by the Tower of Babel."

"I see!"

After hearing this, Xu Yang's doubts were resolved, but his brows furrowed instead.

This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not follow the crowd and instead chose to stay in the Xuanhuang Realm. He was eventually defeated and killed. According to the procedure, he was taken to the Tower of Babel and became a hero.

Isn’t this similar to Ao Chi’s fate?

Xu Yang looked at Dizang and did not hide his suspicion: "Does the Bodhisattva know the origin of this Tongtian Tower and the Wanmo Abyss?"

"The poor monk doesn't know."

Dizang shook his head and said calmly: "But I guess it is closely related to the dispute between Emperor Zun and Mara!"

"Emperor?"

Xu Yang murmured and fell into deep thought.

The emperor mentioned by Dizang is of course the emperor high in the sky.

As the master of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Emperor of Heaven respected by Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, Qiong Gao is the leader of all the Xuanhuang immortals. His strength is even above that of the Buddha and Taoist ancestors of the Xuanhuang Realm. He is the closest golden immortal to this realm.

Such an existence, even if defeated, is unlikely to die.

After all, that Demon Luo was probably not a Golden Immortal. As both were top celestial immortals, even if Qiong Gao was defeated, it would not be a problem for him to retreat and escape.

This is indeed the case. According to Ao Chi, no matter whether it is the immortals and gods who broke through the boundary or the cultivators who stayed in Xuanhuang and struggled to hold on, they all believed that the Emperor of Heaven was not dead and would make a comeback one day.

and so……

Xu Yang looked at Dizang and asked, "Are these Tongtian Tower and Wanmo Abyss the work of the Emperor of Heaven and Mara?"

"I dare not speak nonsense."

Dizang shook his head and said quietly, "Besides the Emperor of Heaven and Mara, I can't think of a third person who can change the principles of a world to this extent. Or is it that a great being from another world can help Xuan Huang with the power of a Golden Immortal?"

Xu Yang pondered over Dizang's words for a long time before speaking: "Then according to the Bodhisattva, at what stage will the battle between the Tongtian Tower and the Wanmo Abyss end?"

"I don't know!"

After hearing this, Dizang still shook his head: "But the situation of opposition between good and evil has already been established. The Lord has come to meet the destiny. He has the destiny in his body and will be the key to breaking the situation. He is the Lord of Xuanhuang who will save the world!"

"The Bodhisattva has such high hopes, I am afraid I cannot bear it."

Hearing this, Xu Yang also shook his head, then smiled and said, "Well, there must be a way out when the car reaches the mountain, let's go first and see how he does."

"The Lord is so wise!"

Dizang put his hands together and smiled: "Although I have only a limited ability, I am willing to help you, Lord, to accomplish this great cause of slaying demons and saving the people."

"Thank you Bodhisattva!"

Xu Yang nodded, and suddenly thought of something. He waved his sleeve and a divine light was swept out, and a figure appeared under the palace. It was the demon spirit Shibi: "The Bodhisattva's Buddhist teachings are profound. Can you convert this demon and make him turn from evil to good?"

As mentioned before, high-level lords have some special means that can purify unusable Demon Abyss heroes, Demon Abyss soldiers, and weapons and equipment and turn them into usable ones.

Compared with offering directly to the wonders of civilization, this method of purification is more efficient and has better effects.

Although Xu Yang does not have such means, "creating something out of nothing" has always been his strength. After several lifetimes of practice and accumulation from various realms, he is not lacking in methods to transform demons. As long as he transfers them over and generates corresponding skills, he should be able to purify the monsters.

This was Xu Yang’s original plan.

But now he has changed his mind.

Because he is really too busy and doesn't want to waste his time on this. Now that he has a tool who fits the bill, there is no reason not to make full use of him.

Dizang glanced at Shibi, who was immobilized by the five-colored divine light, and was in a state of shock and anger but unable to move. He also chuckled and said, "Although this person has entered the devil's way, he still has some goodness in his nature. If he is taught the right way, he may be able to turn his evil ways. I am willing to do that for you, my lord."

"Then I'll trouble the Bodhisattva."

Xu Yang nodded, and released the nine-child mother demon that Jiupanpo's soul had been deposited in: "There is still one demon here, I dare to ask the Bodhisattva to do more."

The nine-son mother demon fell to the ground. She was terrified when she heard Xu Yang's words, but she was restricted by the five elements and could not move at all. She could only watch the two men decide her fate.

Dizang glanced at Jiupanpo and nodded calmly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best!"
