Chapter 414 Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers
In the Southern Continent, there is the Liyang Guiyu, which is 600 miles away.

Somewhere in a deep cave.

When Jin Hu Duo Duo was extracting the memory of the heavenly soldier of the true immortal level that matched Princess Halloween, she was attacked by the “Six Paths of Reincarnation Restriction” set up by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The “Six Paths of Reincarnation Restriction” set up by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is truly extraordinary and powerful.

If an ordinary peeper unfortunately touches this restriction, he will instantly be violently counterattacked by the red lotus fire.

The peeper will be seriously injured on the spot, his soul will be severely damaged, and he will suffer unbearable pain, as if he was thrown into an endless purgatory of karma.

What’s even more terrifying is that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva not only has great supernatural powers and boundless magical powers, but there is also a spiritual beast called “Diti” lying under his desk.

This divine beast has sharp ears and eyes, and can investigate matters in the three realms. No matter the secrets of heaven or the trivial matters of the human world, nothing can escape its ears.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can use the magical power of the divine beast to calculate the whereabouts of the peeper, and then use his supreme magic power to wipe him out invisibly.

Fortunately, Jinhu Duoduo has two powerful protectors, the Golden Horn King and the Monkey King.

The Monkey King is the top demon in the Taiyi Golden Fairyland. He is extremely powerful and holds the innate spiritual treasure “Cui Guang Liang Yi Lantern” in his hand, which can counter the power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, allowing her to be safe and sound under the threat of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

And he, the King of Golden Horn, possesses the top-grade innate spiritual treasure “Baolian Lantern”, the Seven Treasures Magic Fire in it can heal Golden Gourd Duoduo and resolve the damage caused by the backlash of the restriction.

But the most crucial thing is another top-grade innate spiritual treasure in the hands of King Jinjiao – the “Ancestral Dragon Pearl”.

This pearl is mysterious and unpredictable. It is the pearl left by the ancient dragon. It can conceal the aura and cover up the secrets of heaven. Even gods and Buddhas find it difficult to detect its traces.

With the protection of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, Jin Hulu Duoduo’s whereabouts were like hidden in the vast heaven and earth, with no trace to be found.

Even the divine beast Di Ting finds it difficult to find its trace.

The protective power of the “Emerald Light and Yin-Yang Lantern”, the healing effect of the “Lotus Lantern”, and the concealing power of the “Ancestor Dragon Pearl”…

These three innate spiritual treasures each displayed their own abilities and complemented each other, perfectly offsetting the “Six Paths of Reincarnation Restriction” set up by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Such a powerful combination of spiritual treasures is rare.

You know, in the Three Realms, even for a Golden Immortal or even a Quasi-Saint, it is a great opportunity and fortune to be fortunate enough to possess a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Innate spiritual treasures are extremely rare.

What’s more, they are two “top-grade innate spiritual treasures” plus one “innate spiritual treasure” being used at the same time.

Only King Golden Horn is so rich that he can play like this.

He actually used such a precious combination of spiritual treasures to spy on the memory of a heavenly soldier who was merely a True Immortal.

You have to know that he is just a celestial soldier at the level of a True Immortal, with a humble status, and he doesn’t know many secrets of the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan.

Therefore, the counterattack of the “Six Paths of Reincarnation Restriction” did not show its ultimate power.

If it were Kang Jinlong, a core general in heaven, there would be so many secrets contained in his memory that it would be extremely difficult to spy on him, and it would be fraught with danger.

The Precious Lotus Lantern is a superb innate spiritual treasure and one of the best healing magic weapons in the Three Realms.

With Xiao Chen’s full strength activating the Precious Lotus Lantern, Jin Hulu Duoduo’s injuries healed quickly.

“Father, I am well now and can continue.”

Jin Hulu Duoduo gritted his teeth and spoke.

She also knew that her father’s trip was to save her five gourd brothers.

Therefore, she vowed to do her best to help her father solve his problems.

Subsequently.

As soon as his injuries healed, Jinhu Duoduo couldn’t wait to plunge into the next task.

She flashed and came before the soul of the heavenly soldier of the True Immortal level that matched Princess Halloween.

Jin Hulu Duoduo made seals with his hands and cast the unique “Mind-Seeing Mark” to fight against the three souls and seven spirits of the heavenly soldier, and began to carefully extract his memory.

Xiao Chen and the Monkey King stood aside with solemn expressions, escorting Jin Hulu Duoduo in the process of extracting her memories.

The soul strength of a True Immortal is far beyond that of a Heavenly Immortal.

As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Jinhu Duoduo’s forehead, and her face looked a little pale.

But she remained unshaken and continued to cast her spell with full concentration, as if the only people left in the world were her and the spirit of the heavenly soldier in front of her.

Finally, at a certain moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a ball of memory light flashing with strange light appeared in her hand.

“Aunt Halloween, go on.”

Golden Gourd Duoduo gently flicked the ball of memory light and accurately delivered it to Princess Halloween’s hands.

“Okay, Duoduo, you’ve worked hard.”

Princess Halloween took the ball of light and a solemn look appeared on her face.

She closed her eyes, concentrated, sat cross-legged, and began to carefully digest the memories she gained from the soul of the heavenly soldier’s fetus.

……

The underworld, the netherworld.

Inside Cuiyun Palace, candlelight flickered.

A solemn and dignified monk, wearing a Vairocana crown and a cassock, holding a staff in his right hand and a Mani pearl in his left hand, sits upright on a lotus platform.

Its appearance is solemn, truly: “The bright pearl illuminates the road to heaven, and the golden staff shakes open the gate of hell.”

It is none other than the Lord of the Netherworld – Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sits upright on a lotus platform with his eyes slightly closed, immersed in endless meditation.

However, at this moment.

“Ok?”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s meditation was broken, and he felt the abnormal fluctuations coming from the “Six Paths of Reincarnation Restriction”.

“Listen carefully, detect any anomalies…”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva opened his eyes, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he slapped a small white animal lying under the scripture table.

This little white beast has a strange appearance, with a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and unicorn feet. It has the images of many animals combined into one, and it gathers the best of all creatures into one.

It is the “Divine Beast of Listening”.

The Di Ting divine beast is the mount and eyes and ears of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It can hear the sounds of all things in the world and observe the subtle changes of heaven and earth.

The divine beast listened carefully and followed orders. It prostrated itself on the ground in the Senluo courtyard, listening attentively.

After a moment, it raised its head, shook its head, and said:
“Unknowable, unknowable.”

What he meant was that, at present, the changes in the world were too complicated and bizarre, and even a powerful divine beast like him could not fully understand what was going on.

“Unknowable?”

Upon hearing this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva frowned slightly and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

He stood up and looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to see through the layers of clouds and mist and understand the mystery between heaven and earth.

After a long time.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva slowly spoke:

“Now, a great catastrophe is about to begin. The mortal world is filled with disasters. The secrets of heaven are obscure and difficult to understand. It is beyond human power to predict.”

“You can’t force it…”

He sighed softly, his eyes filled with heaviness and helplessness, and some worry in his eyes.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva knew that an unprecedented catastrophe was about to befall the three realms, but even he could not fully predict the direction and outcome of this catastrophe.

Lingshan, which is supposed to be a peaceful place for Buddhism, is now in chaos.

Previously, Jin Chanzi and Huang Mei had a battle of magic, and in the end both of them were demoted, which caused panic among the Buddhists.

Moreover, as one of the four great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can be regarded as a close confidant of Tathagata Buddha and has had many contacts with Tathagata Buddha.

He also realized that the path of cultivation of Tathagata Buddha seemed to have encountered some setbacks recently. The Buddha’s light appeared and disappeared from time to time, revealing an unusual aura that made people worried.

He actually knew a lot about the Buddha.

Before the Tathagata Buddha, there was Duobao Taoist. Duobao Taoist had been a disciple of Tongtian Sect Master, and devoted himself to the practice of Shangqing Immortal Law. He was the eldest disciple of Tongtian Sect Master and was highly valued by Tongtian Sect Master.

Later, during the Battle of the Gods, Taoist Duobao was also involved.

In the Zhuxian Formation, Taoist Duobao attacked Saint Taiqing, but was captured by Saint Taiqing with the Wind and Fire Cushion.

However, the Saint Taiqing showed his magnanimous side.

Not only did he not punish Duobao Taoist, but he took a fancy to his qualifications and potential, allowed him to listen to his teachings, and taught him the Taiqing Immortal Method.

As a result of this chance encounter, Taoist Duobao received the true teachings of Saint Taiqing, and his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

Later, the Saint Taiqing, with his unfathomable wisdom and strategy, carefully arranged a reincarnation plan, allowing the Taoist Duobao to reincarnate in the West and become the prince of Kapilavastu, named “Shakyamuni”.

Sakyamuni was gifted with extraordinary wisdom. He inherited and carried forward the wisdom of Taoist Duobao. On the basis of “Hinayana Buddhism”, he took a different approach and founded the unique “Mahayana Buddhism”, spreading the true meaning of Buddhism to all directions and taking away a part of the fortune of Western religions.

This move was later called “converting barbarians into Buddhas.”

Although “converting barbarians into Buddhas” has been passed down as a good story by later generations, the twists and turns and profound meanings involved are not fully understood by outsiders.

The initiative of “converting barbarians into Buddhism” was initially devised by the Saint Taiqing in order to divide and rule and weaken the power of Western religions.

However, things are unpredictable and plans cannot keep up with changes. This plan of “transforming Hu into Buddha” did not go completely as expected.

The Saint Taiqing originally wanted to take away the luck of the Western religion and use the Taoist Duobao to weaken the Western religion, but the result was counterproductive.

The decision of the two Western saints was beyond everyone’s expectations.

The two saints in the West are very generous and they also favor Sakyamuni.

Originally, in everyone’s eyes, the position of the leader of the Western Church was reserved for Maitreya Buddha, and it should be Maitreya Buddha who sat on it.

It seems that it has long been a foregone conclusion that Maitreya Buddha will be the best candidate to inherit the position of the Western leader.

However, the two saints of the West unexpectedly broke this convention and gave the position of the leader of Western religion to Sakyamuni.

Maitreya Buddha, the “Leader of the West” who was supposed to ascend the throne, has once again become the “Crown Prince”. I’m afraid only he himself can understand the feeling of this.

However, this magnanimous move by the two Western saints directly allowed Sakyamuni to enjoy the supreme fortune of being the leader of Buddhism, and also completely brought Sakyamuni into the camp of Western religion.

After all, who can refuse to enjoy the good fortune of a religion and make rapid progress in cultivation?

Be the first disciple or the leader?
Is it hard to choose?
A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a soldier who doesn’t want to be the leader’s first disciple is not a good first disciple.

……

However, this decision of the two Western saints was not groundless.

For the two saints of the West, the Western religion had a small population at first, and its basic base and the foundation of its rise all originated from the catastrophe of the Conferred God War.

At that time, during the Conferred Gods Battle, the Two Saints of the West converted many disciples of the Jie Religion with the supreme Buddhist teachings in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and transformed them into the Three Thousand Buddhas of the Western Religion. As a result, they became the backbone of the Western Religion and the cornerstone of the sect’s prosperity.

Compared to Maitreya Buddha.

It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for these three thousand Buddhas to be led by Tathagata Buddha, the former eldest brother of Jiejiao, and he is definitely more cohesive than Maitreya Buddha.

The Tathagata Buddha was once the eldest brother of the Jiejiao sect. His prestige and leadership among the Jiejiao disciples are by no means comparable to that of Maitreya Buddha.

Compared with Maitreya Buddha, Tathagata Buddha is more capable of uniting people’s hearts and leading Western religions to a more glorious future.

Since then.

Sakyamuni ascended to the position of the leader of the Western Religion. He combined the three unique skills of “Shangqing Immortal Method”, “Taiqing Immortal Method” and “Western Religion Method” in one person. His strength was unparalleled in the world.

He enjoyed the supreme fortune of being the leader of the Western religion, and his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

It can be described as a brick in a wall—”coming from behind and being on top.”

Although the original intention of the Taiqing Saint’s plan to “convert barbarians into Buddhas” may have been to divide the fortune of Western religions, the result was counterproductive. It achieved the glory of Sakyamuni and made Western religions even stronger under the leadership of Sakyamuni.

now.

The strength of Tathagata Buddha has surpassed many veteran quasi-saints such as Minghe and Ran Deng. Even in the Battle of Conferred Gods, Kong Xuan, who was hailed as “the number one person under the saints”, was eclipsed by Tathagata Buddha.

The Tathagata Buddha subdued the Peacock Kong Xuan in the Snow Mountain to demonstrate his power.

At the beginning, when he, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, was entering the underworld, the ancestor of the Styx came out to stop him.

The Buddha Tathagata appeared again and suppressed the ancestor of the Styx with the force of thunder and lightning, and recruited the Asuras under his command as the guardian army of Lingshan.

The Eight Divisions of Heaven and Dragon: one is the Heavenly Beings, two is the Dragon Beings, three is the Yakshas, ​​four is the Gandharvas, and five is the Asuras…

Since then, the “Asuras” have appeared in the Lingshan Army of the Eight Immortals.

In the eyes of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, in this era when no saints appear, Tathagata Buddha is the most powerful existence in the three realms today.

However, even such a powerful Buddha Tathagata seems to have some problems with his practice?

Moreover, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva realized that this problem seemed to be quite serious.

If something happened to the Buddha, what would happen to their Buddhism today?

Which side should Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stand on and who should he choose?

“The kalpa is samsara, and all living beings are chess pieces.”

“When the great catastrophe of heaven and earth comes, who can remain unscathed?”

“Alas, even a clay Buddha can hardly save himself when crossing the river…”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed softly, withdrew his gaze, and brought his thoughts back to the matters at hand.

In the workplace, whether in heaven or the underworld, accuracy is always the top priority when reporting work.

Don’t say anything about uncertain data or vague things.

Because you have drawn a conclusion, but there is a possibility that your conclusion is wrong, then you will not be able to get out of this.

However, as the lord of the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shoulders the important task of protecting the peace of the underworld.

As long as the underworld is peaceful, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will have no merits and no faults. Everything else seems so unimportant in comparison.

After thinking for a moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva summoned a ghost from the underworld.

The ghost stood with his body bowed, waiting for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s instructions.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked serious and instructed him:
“The Ghost Gate has been strictly guarded recently. Anyone passing by, regardless of their status, must be carefully checked. No slackness is allowed.”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said in a deep voice:

“If there is any unusual movement, no matter what the situation is, you must report it to me in a timely manner without delay.”

“Yes! I will follow the orders of the Netherworld Cult Master.”

Upon hearing this, the ghost messenger from the underworld immediately stood up, took the order and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the dark Cuiyun Palace.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva watched the ghost of the underworld leave, and thought to himself:
“I hope I’m overthinking it.”

……

At this moment.

In a deep cave.

The memory of the heavenly soldier who was similar in size to Xiao Chen was also read by Jin Hulu Duoduo using the “Mind-Seeing Mark”, and his memory was sent to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to digest this memory. He stored the three souls, seven spirits and physical bodies of the three heavenly soldiers one by one in the “small world of Qiankun” in his abdomen.

Moreover, Xiao Chen used the “Baolian Lantern” to save their lives.

After doing all this, Xiao Chen’s gaze fell on Jinhu Duoduo.

Seeing that she seemed a little tired from casting spells, Xiao Chen immediately used the “Baolian Lantern” to heal Jin Hulu Duoduo’s injuries.

After the golden gourd Duoduo recovered, Xiao Chen began to read the memory of the heavenly soldier.

A series of information gradually emerged in his mind:

“Name: Yang Guoshan.”

“Identity: Silver-armored Heavenly Soldier.”
