After meeting Hu Le's disciples, Ksitigarbha established his own dojo at the foot of Yin Mountain, near the Sea of Blood.
He established this temple not only to guide the dead and increase the fortune of the Western lineage, but his real target was the Asura race in the sea of blood.
There are six realms of reincarnation. The human realm and the animal realm are one thing, but they have profound foundations and their own destiny is even more immense.
There are countless races in the primordial world, but none can compare with these two races in terms of strength.
The Asura race is just one of those ordinary races; what makes it so special that it can claim a unique path in the cycle of reincarnation?
Previously, the Asura race had been hiding in the sea of blood, which meant that no one knew the true nature of this race.
Now that the Six Paths of Reincarnation have been established, the Asura race has finally been exposed to the eyes of a group of powerful beings.
They knew very well that the Asura race could take a share of reincarnation, and even if their strength was currently insufficient, their future potential was probably unimaginable.
As a result, some people with ulterior motives set their sights on the Asura clan.
But it was the Western Religion faction that struck first...
On this day, Ksitigarbha arrived above the Sea of Blood, erected a thousand-petaled lotus platform on the sea, and then began to sit on the lotus platform and preach the Western Path.
This teaching was personally passed down by the Daoist who guides us. The Daoist chants are filled with endless allure and have the power to save all living beings.
He had barely finished speaking when some Asuras were drawn to the airspace above the sea of blood.
They saw a tall, bald man sitting on a thousand-petaled golden lotus, preaching Falun Dafa.
The bald man was sixteen feet tall, wearing a gray robe, sitting cross-legged with a tin staff lying across his knees, and a halo of merit hanging behind his head. He exuded a pure and peaceful aura.
At this moment, their minds were drawn by the sound of the Dao, and they came to the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus in a daze, sat down, and began to listen to the Great Dao. Unconsciously, their bodies began to circulate according to the Qi refining method transmitted in the Great Dao.
His original cultivation foundation quickly dissipated and was transformed into the Qi refining method of the Western lineage.
In the blink of an eye, the crimson light on their bodies faded, turning into clusters of auspicious light that surrounded them.
Before long, countless more Asuras arrived, and unable to resist the temptation, they began to cultivate Western supernatural powers...
...
In the Pure Land of Qinghua in the East, Guan Kong also sensed the scene above the Sea of Blood. She couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling that Ksitigarbha's actions seemed inappropriate.
Isn't this a provocation against the Styx Ancestor?
However, since even the Styx Ancestor didn't step forward to stop it, she, as an outsider, naturally had nothing to say.
Such a grand commotion by Ksitigarbha could not escape the notice of the Styx Ancestor deep within the Blood Sea.
Upon seeing that he was a disciple of the Western lineage, he merely frowned, but because of the high level of cultivation of the two Venerables, Jieyin and Zhunti, he did not take any action.
Anyway, the Asura race numbers in the hundreds of millions, so even if those race members on the sea convert to Western magic and join the Western sect, it's not a big deal.
Therefore, the Styx Ancestor only glanced at it with his divine sense before withdrawing his attention and beginning his cultivation.
After all, he has already cultivated the method of severing the three corpses, and before he attains enlightenment, it is best to avoid forming karmic ties with others...
...
Above the sea of blood.
The preaching of Ksitigarbha continued for several days.
On this day, seeing that the time was right, he stopped preaching, glanced down at the area below the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus, and saw that tens of thousands of Asuras had gathered there, almost all of whom had cultivated Western supernatural powers.
He was quite satisfied.
"I wish to establish a pure land in the underworld. You are all destined to be here. Are you willing to take refuge in me, help me create this pure land, and accomplish immeasurable merit?"
Ksitigarbha's voice rang in the ears of the Asura clan.
"I wish to convert!"
An Asura prostrated himself before Ksitigarbha.
"We are also willing to convert."
The remaining Asuras echoed this sentiment.
"That's excellent!"
Ksitigarbha smiled slightly, and the halo of merit behind his head suddenly generated a huge suction force, pulling all the Asuras into it.
This halo of merit is an achievement of Western secret techniques, profound and extraordinary. It can not only be used to protect oneself and prevent one's cultivation from regressing and falling into the demonic path, but it can also be used to store objects and guide living beings.
As for the source of merit, that's even simpler.
Since he became a disciple of the Western Guide, he has been repairing the Western spiritual veins and dispelling evil energy. Later, he also spread the Tao among humans, naturally accumulating much merit.
It's more than enough to refine just one merit wheel.
In the past, Taiyi, after accumulating enough merit, refined eighty-one Golden Wheels of Merit. That was the supreme and wonderful method to turn misfortune into good fortune and calamity into peace...
Ksitigarbha took away tens of thousands of Asuras and returned to his sacred site on a thousand-petaled golden lotus.
After releasing the Asuras, he selected some with good wisdom and potential and directly refined them into his own guardian deities.
As for the rest, he transformed them into Western warriors. In any case, he didn't waste a single Asura, and took them all under his command...
After doing all this, he rested for several days and then went to the Blood Sea again, converting tens of thousands of Asuras in the same way.
This time, it finally aroused a trace of anger in the Styx Ancestor.
When will this ever end?
At this rate, no matter how many Asuras he has under his command, they can't withstand Ksitigarbha's continued wreaking havoc...
However, this time, he held back.
Just as Ksitigarbha arrived above the Sea of Blood for the third time and sat down on the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus, before he could even speak, a streak of light flew from the depths of the Sea of Blood.
A moment later, the light descended in front of him, and the Styx Ancestor emerged from it.
Ksitigarbha quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Ksitigarbha greets the Ancestor."
"Ksitigarbha! How dare you try to convert my Asura clan three times? Do you really think your ancestor has a good temper?"
The Styx Ancestor glared hatefully at Ksitigarbha and rebuked him with a gloomy expression.
He had already given Jieyin and Zhunti face, but this junior was far too presumptuous.
"Ancestor, you flatter me. I have come here only to convert some Asuras to join me in exploring the Western Dao and enjoying boundless bliss."
"As the venerable Asura Ancestor, you shouldn't be stopping it; on the contrary, you should be happy to see it happen. How dare you blame a junior like me!"
Ksitigarbha also spoke with great conviction.
Although he was only at the Taiyi realm, he showed no fear whatsoever in the face of the Styx Ancestor…
"What a sharp-tongued brat! My Asura clan has its own Great Dao to cultivate, why would we care about your damned Western Great Dao?"
For the sake of Jieyin and Zhunti, if you retreat now, the Ancestor may forgive and forget.
But if you remain stubborn, then don't blame the Ancestor for taking you to Mount Sumeru to find your master and demand punishment.
Ksitigarbha showed no fear on his face and honestly said, "Ancestor, you are mistaken. I have come here on my master's orders. Why should you make things difficult for a junior like me?"
If you're truly still angry, then go to Mount Sumeru and confront my master..."
