Chapter 245: Dizang Enters the Underworld
Three Dharma Aspects suddenly broke free of their bonds, terrifying power erupted on the phantom of the Receiving Guide Saint, and in an instant it was blasted to pieces.
The remaining fragments left only the Receiving Guide Saint's skull; gazing at the lotus leaf before him, a look of realization appeared in his eyes.
Which fellow Daoist actually used a leaf of the Chaotic Azure Lotus to seal my Azure Treasure Banner? What a grand hand!
The phantom of the Receiving Guide Saint shouted: "Why not come out and meet? Let this deity know which fellow Daoist has schemed against my Western Teaching."
However, there was not the slightest response in the void; what greeted him was a even more fierce attack from the three Dharma Aspects.
Fellow Daoist, this karma has been settled; someday, my Western Teaching will surely demand repayment!
As the phantom of the Receiving Guide Saint's voice faded, even its last trace of residual aura was wiped out by the rune spear of the Heavenly Dao Dharma Aspect.
After doing all this, Hou Tu Niangniang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, a lotus leaf slowly drifted down before her.
She reached out and caught the lotus leaf, and Hou Tu Niangniang clearly saw that a azure treasure banner was sealed within it.
This is a saint's treasure; who could have the audacity to seal a saint's treasure?
Meng Po, standing nearby, looked over with a curious expression.
Upon hearing this, Hou Tu Niangniang's face showed a hint of a smile as she said: "Someone you would never expect!"
Looking at Hou Tu Niangniang before her, Meng Po couldn't help but be slightly startled.
It seemed this was the first time she had seen Hou Tu Niangniang smile.
It turns out, her smile is this beautiful!
However, this smile was fleeting; Hou Tu Niangniang restrained her smile, and her gaze fell upon Dizang.
Facing Hou Tu Niangniang's gaze, Dizang showed neither sorrow nor joy, performed a salute, and said: "Lady, this humble monk has come here after making a vow to the Heavenly Dao; I vow not to attain Buddhahood until the hells are empty, and only after all beings are saved will I achieve enlightenment."
Damn it!
Upon these words, the faces of the surrounding underworld officials and deities turned grim.
For just as Dizang's words fell, the Heavenly Dao seemed to sense something.
In the next moment, the underworld officials and deities sensed that the fortune of the entire underworld had become tightly linked with Dizang.
Gazing at Dizang's calm countenance, Hou Tu Niangniang's eyes faintly showed a phantom of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, as if she were calculating something.
After a few breaths, Hou Tu Niangniang took a deep look at Dizang.
You really are good at scheming; it seems that making a vow to the Heavenly Dao and borrowing its power is just your Western Teaching's usual style!
Hou Tu Niangniang's face showed a hint of mockery.
However, facing Hou Tu Niangniang's mockery, Dizang's expression remained normal, as if he hadn't understood her ridicule.
She shook her head, turned to look at the Fengdu Great Emperor beside her, and said: "This matter, you decide for yourselves."
Upon hearing this, the Fengdu Great Emperor nodded with a solemn face.
He naturally also knew that with Dizang's arrival, he would not be easily sent away.
And the greatest problem remains the vow that the other party previously made to the Heavenly Dao.
This is like a holdout household has arrived!
However, regarding Dizang, Hou Tu Niangniang does not intend to interfere further, but directly leaves the worry to the Fengdu Great Emperor and his associates.
After all, these people previously sought trouble for her, and she still bears a grudge.
As for whether Dizang will siphon the underworld's fortune, Hou Tu Niangniang is not overly worried about it.
Because in her eyes, her path to sainthood is already a smooth road.
Once she attains sainthood, any further scheming by Dizang will be mere empty talk.
However, I underestimated him; I never expected him to lend me a hand at the critical moment.
She unconsciously glanced at the azure lotus leaf in her palm, and Hou Tu Niangniang's face once again involuntarily showed a smile.
She actually smiled again; who exactly helped her before?
Meng Po, standing nearby, muttered quietly to herself.
……
I actually failed!
In the Western Pure Land, the meditating Jieyin Daoist suddenly opened his eyes.
Senior brother, what happened?
As fellow disciples who had been together for an unknown number of years, Zhunti Daoist immediately sensed an anomaly.
Zhunti junior brother, on my journey to the underworld, a thread of my divine sense has been extinguished!
Jieyin Daoist said.
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Zhunti Daoist's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Could it be that Hou Tu?
Yes, and also no!
Jieyin Daoist shook his head and said: "The one who extinguished that thread of my divine sense was indeed Hou Tu, but the true cause of the failure is that someone sealed my Azure Treasure Banner with a leaf of the Chaotic Azure Lotus, leaving that divine sense without support."
What? A leaf of the Chaotic Azure Lotus!
This truly shocked Zhunti Daoist.
There's nothing to be done; this matter surprised him even more than the extinguishing of Jieyin Daoist's thread of divine sense.
Senior brother, initially five leaves of the Chaotic Azure Lotus transformed into a five-colored banner; how can any remaining leaves still exist in this world?
Zhunti Daoist said: "Whose leaf is this, senior brother? Do you have any clues?"
None!
The Receiving Guide Daoist shook his head and said: "The other party's aura is concealed; even I cannot figure it out, but I have a feeling that the hidden person may very well affect my Western Teaching's grand plan for prosperity!"
Upon hearing this, Zhunti Daoist's face showed a hint of ferocity.
The Western Teaching's grand plan cannot allow any mishap; on Dizang's side, could there be a problem?
Upon hearing this, Jieyin Daoist said lightly: "Dizang has made a great vow, already linked with the underworld's fate; even a sage cannot easily move him, so he has no problem, and what I truly worry about is that person hidden in the shadows!"
This...
For a moment, the two sages of the Western Teaching fell into silence.
After all, given their great wisdom, they likely already guessed that whoever could escape their calculations must possess great fortune.
Such beings, even within the Three Realms, are few in number.
But these people have terrifying backgrounds, not something they can currently act upon.
No problem!
Jieyin Daoist narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The calamity is imminent; once the Three Teachings enter the calamity, heavenly secrets will be obscured, and no one will be able to hide. At that time, the two of us will seek out that person and settle today's karmic accounts properly."
Good!
Zhunti Daoist echoed in agreement.
You, bastard!
Golden Mother of the Jade Pond looked at Ao Yifan with a face full of grief and indignation.
She had never seen such a shameless person.
Having bullied her wasn't enough; now he even dares to scheme against her private funds.
Mother-in-law, you don't want that, because my insufficient bridal gift will dissatisfy my father-in-law, and then Long Ji will be heartbroken!
Ao Yifan gently massaged the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond's shoulders, smiling as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond wore a look of resentment and thought: "You want to curry favor with your cheap father-in-law; rely on your own abilities, why scheme against my private funds?"
