Chapter 1 The Underworld

The Underworld.

Located to the left of the Buddhist Realm.

In the vast starry sky.

Lu Changsheng walked calmly.

Now having reached the ninth level of the Immortal King realm, Lu Changsheng was more than capable of traversing the universe.

Normal Immortal Kings found it difficult to cross the universe because there were many terrifying things within it, such as giant cosmic beasts, auroras, and some terrifying magnetic fields that formed innate grand formations, which even Immortal Emperors had to be wary of.

However, although Lu Changsheng was only in the Immortal King realm, he was no weaker than an Immortal Emperor, and coupled with his own extremely high attainments in formations, he feared none of these dangers.

Traversing the universe was a symbol of strength.

The Underworld was indeed not too far from the Buddhist Realm, at least much closer than the distance from the Buddhist Realm to the Immortal Realm, but Lu Changsheng still had to use the Great Teleportation Technique hundreds of times to reach the Underworld directly.

With his current cultivation at the ninth level of the Immortal King realm, Lu Changsheng could travel a distance of ten billion miles with each use of the Great Teleportation Technique.

If he reached the Immortal Emperor realm, Lu Changsheng could reach the Underworld with a single thought, using the Great Teleportation Technique.

However, Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli had already arrived in the Underworld. They had other methods, especially Nanming Liuli, who used a Realm-Breaking Talisman, instantly arriving in the Underworld.

Bodhi Wisdom also had corresponding treasures. Neither of them dared to cross the universe alone, even though Nanming Liuli was already in the Immortal Emperor realm, they didn't want to encounter any trouble along the way.

Only Lu Changsheng was reckless enough to directly cross the universe with his physical body.

In the Great Thunderclap Ancient Temple, three immortal mirrors shone upon the three people. The cultivators watching Lu Changsheng traverse the universe were speechless with astonishment.

Even Galan Divine Monk was somewhat shocked, because even though he could traverse the universe, he wouldn't dare to do it so directly.

Boom!

Nanming Liuli was the first to appear in the Underworld.

Within the Underworld, there were indeed wailing ghosts and howling wolves, and all kinds of wronged souls gathered. The entire Underworld was spherical in shape, and although there was land, everything was illusory.

Resentful souls surged, ghosts cried and gods howled, and all kinds of sounds rang out, like a scene from hell.

A three-headed ghost general stretched out his hand, grabbed tens of thousands of resentful souls, and then stuffed them into his mouth, absorbing a large amount of the essence of the resentful souls, thereby strengthening himself.

This was a truly man-eat-man world, with all kinds of scenes appearing, and bloodshed and slaughter constantly occurring here.

Even more terrifying illusions emerged.

A general waved his hand, and a million heads fell to the ground, the corpses burning for ten days and ten nights, the sky filled with flying ashes, which was nauseating.

A cultivator, holding a blood-colored square flag, waved it, and ghosts flew out, wiping out all the human race in an ancient city.

Two peerless powerhouses fought fiercely, and with their collision, ten thousand mountains and rivers collapsed, and countless people died tragically, corpses lay everywhere, blood flowed like rivers, and resentment soared to the sky.

And even more terrifying was that countless resentful souls were constantly pouring into the Underworld. In the five realms, people died unjustly at all times, some died innocently, and some died unwillingly. Their obsession brought them to the Underworld.

And the Underworld was even more cruel.

Here, to become stronger was to devour other souls, but it was necessary to refine the other party's obsession, and strengthen one's own obsession. If one could not withstand the other party's monstrous obsession, it would cause trouble.

Therefore, in the Underworld, you devour me, and I devour you. Although several major forces had settled down this rule of devouring, the major forces fought each other, and whoever lost would also be devoured.

Moreover, because this place was extremely strange, there were too many resentful souls. After all, the Human Realm, the Buddhist Realm, the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Devil Realm, the resentful souls of the five major realms had to enter the Underworld. Some resentful souls were naturally very powerful. For example, after an Immortal King died, if his obsession was deep enough, he could also transform into an Immortal King resentful soul.

It was just that there was a fundamental difference after becoming a resentful soul.

You would lose all your rationality. You would not understand who you were, nor would you know who you were. You would not understand your past, nor would you understand your future. It was just an obsession, unless you became a Ghost Emperor, otherwise, you would hardly have any consciousness.

And how difficult it was to become a Ghost Emperor, needless to say.

If you had not become an Immortal Emperor before your death, it would be even more difficult to become a Ghost Emperor after your death, especially the higher the realm of the deceased soul, the more difficult it would be to become a Ghost Emperor.

However, even if you could not become a Ghost Emperor, you could still kill in all directions in the Underworld, and even be subdued by the Ghost Emperor and brought under his command.

Nanming Liuli appeared.

Seeing so many dead souls, the look of compassion on his face deepened. He shook his head, put his hands together, and he was really too experienced in saving the dead souls.

"Amitabha."

Nanming Liuli landed on a deserted mountain. In an instant, hundreds of millions of resentful souls roared. They rushed towards Nanming Liuli, without any wisdom, just wanting to devour Nanming Liuli.

"The world is full of suffering, all living beings are like ants, the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back to the shore, the surging resentment is endless, I have a Buddhist kingdom, rebirth to blissful paradise, all benefactors, put down your obsessions, wash away your sins, and enter my Buddhist kingdom."

Nanming Liuli's voice rang out.

His voice was like an ancient bell, resounding for hundreds of thousands of miles around. Golden light surged from under his feet, and ten thousand rays of Buddhist light bloomed behind him. The phenomenon of the supreme Buddhist kingdom appeared, illuminating this world.

These resentful souls, he was chanting scriptures, and at the same time, the auspiciousness in the Buddhist kingdom appeared, and golden Buddhist light bathed these resentful souls. For a time, everything was washed away, and all the dirt on these resentful souls was washed away quickly.

Those sins, those ugliness, and those obsessions also disappeared.

Each resentful soul that had been cleansed of sin was bathed in a light golden Buddhist light. They suddenly woke up and understood the cause and effect. They knelt on the ground, extremely devout, and then merged into the Buddhist kingdom.

The supreme Buddhist kingdom appeared, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of resentful souls were saved, and then entered the Buddhist kingdom.

At the same time, Nanming Liuli was also chanting Buddhist scriptures, intending to save these resentful souls.

In the Great Thunderclap Ancient Temple.

Millions of monks, seeing this scene, could not help but put their hands together and said, "Amitabha, well done, well done."

What Nanming Liuli did was indeed a great merit, and they naturally admired it.

"In one breath, he can save ten thousand resentful souls. At this rate, there are thirteen thousand five hundred breaths in a day. That is to say, Nanming Liuli can save one billion three hundred and fifty million dead souls in one day. Heavens!"

"One billion three hundred and fifty million dead souls a day, how much is that in a month, how much is that in a year, how much is that in ten years? Unimaginable."

"This kind of saving method is indeed terrifying, and if Nanming Liuli is allowed to keep saving here, even if he does not get the Buddhist mark, just such merit, coupled with his Buddhist kingdom, will undergo a huge change."

"It's a pity, some of the strong in the Underworld will not sit idly by. Such saving will inevitably cause trouble. When the Ghost Emperor appears, it will be troublesome."

"Yes, if it is possible to save peacefully, the Underworld is a supreme treasure land for my Buddhist disciples, but there are also some fierce resentful souls in the Underworld. Throughout history, many eminent monks in my Buddhist world have gone to the Underworld, but almost none of them have been able to return alive."

Everyone spoke, they marveled at Nanming Liuli's means of salvation, and at the same time, some people were curious that if this continued, wouldn't Nanming Liuli get supreme merit?

But some eminent monks spoke out and said the biggest problem in the Underworld.

Throughout history, many eminent monks have gone to the Underworld, wanting to save the resentful souls of the Underworld.

Who doesn't know that there are many resentful souls in the Underworld? Who doesn't know that if you go to save them, you can get merit?

But if you don't have enough strength, after going to the Underworld, you will encounter the Ghost King and Ghost Emperor of the Underworld. People won't listen to your nonsense. It's normal for them to kill you with a stick.

So saving is not a big problem. The problem is how many days can you save?

Several hours later.

Bodhi Wisdom also appeared in the Underworld.

Bodhi Wisdom was very smart. He did not choose a place too far away from Nanming Liuli, because if a Ghost Emperor really appeared, he and Nanming Liuli could join forces to suppress him.

But if one person encountered a Ghost Emperor, it would be troublesome.

However, Bodhi Wisdom did not snatch business from Nanming Liuli. He appeared in a blood mountain fifty thousand miles away from Nanming Liuli.

This blood mountain was very terrifying, covered with all kinds of blood, the bloody smell was pungent, and countless resentful souls were fighting and devouring each other.

After Bodhi Wisdom appeared, hundreds of millions of resentful souls also pounced over, like locusts, covering the sky and the earth, and the resentment was overwhelming.

"Amitabha."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke slowly.

In an instant, ten thousand rays of golden light bloomed behind him, each ray of golden light pierced straight into the sky, breaking all evil laws. The Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared, with a dharma body of ten thousand feet. As the Bodhi tree branches waved, countless rays of light sprinkled down.

"The sea of suffering is boundless, turn back to the shore!"

Bodhi Wisdom spoke.

He chanted a salvation scripture, the Buddhist sound rolled, resounding within a million miles. With him as the center, all the resentful souls within ten thousand miles were evolved in an instant, and then knelt down under the Bodhi tree, awakened to wisdom, and finally merged into the Bodhi tree.

This method was even more miraculous.

Nanming Liuli felt something, he shook his head, but soon the Buddhist kingdom behind him also skyrocketed by ten thousand feet, and the world of bliss became more real, and the speed of salvation was more than a hundred times faster than before.

He had hidden something, and after Bodhi Wisdom appeared, he no longer held back.

In fact, he didn't want to reveal it, not because he was afraid of Bodhi Wisdom, but of Lu Changsheng.

But what he didn't expect was that Bodhi Wisdom's means of salvation were so terrifying, in an instant, the resentful souls of ten thousand miles were saved by him.

At this moment.

Bodhi Wisdom held the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, surrounded by seven-colored Buddhist light, evolving the Buddhist Pure Land, and saving all the dead souls.

He was like a true Buddha. In this regard, he did indeed suppress Nanming Liuli a bit.

To be honest, although Nanming Liuli's emotions were very stable, he had indeed felt something was wrong during this period of time.

He came from the Godly Sea, and was extremely noble. Although Bodhi Wisdom was a peerless genius of the Godly King Clan, Bodhi Wisdom had not completely awakened, and had not even obtained the true treasure of the Bodhi Clan.

How could he compare with himself? But in fact, Bodhi Wisdom did indeed possess great wisdom, and his Buddhist Dharma was superb. No matter what they compared, he was slightly stronger than himself.

But Nanming Liuli had absolute confidence in the Buddhist Heavenly Dao mark.

He had a trump card, even if he lost all three rounds, he had a way to get the Heavenly Dao mark.

That was why he was so confident.

The two continued to save the resentful souls of the Underworld.

Over time.

Finally, an Immortal Emperor-level ghost noticed it.

"Who dares to save souls in my Underworld?"

A terrifying voice rang out.

In the void, a blue-faced and fanged phantom appeared. This was the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld. He stared at Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli, his eyes filled with monstrous resentment.

"Amitabha, everything is born from cause, and everything bears fruit."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke, he looked at the Ghost Emperor, there was no fear in his eyes, on the contrary, his speed of saving souls was faster.

"Hahahaha, ignorant fellows, want to save the resentful souls of my Underworld? You're dreaming."

The Ghost Emperor of the Underworld laughed. He stretched out his hand, a giant hand covering the sky and the earth, and endless karma permeated.

With this palm falling, millions of miles of mountains and rivers were shattered with one palm, and I don't know how many resentful souls were directly killed. When resentful souls died, they died completely, but they would leave behind even more terrifying resentment.

This kind of resentment permeated the Underworld, and was swallowed by other resentful souls, which could enhance their strength, but would also make them lose themselves even more.

Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli disappeared at the same time. They dodged the Ghost Emperor's attack, but were also interrupted from saving souls.

"Amitabha, benefactor, don't be obsessed."

Nanming Liuli spoke.

"A your mother's head, you bald donkeys, all you do all day long is tell others to let go of their obsessions, why don't you let go of your own obsessions? Go to hell!"

The Ghost Emperor's voice rang out, filled with anger.

"Benefactor, you are obsessed."

Bodhi Wisdom sighed, and said so.

"Your house is on fire."

The Ghost Emperor's voice rang out again, but in an instant, doors of hell appeared, and a large number of resentful souls poured out from each door. These resentful souls turned into ghost generals and rushed directly towards the two of them.

"Don't you like to save souls? Okay, today I'll let you save to your heart's content. There are more resentful souls in the Underworld than there are grains of sand in the Ganges, and even if the living beings in the five realms are added together, there are not as many resentful souls as there are in the Underworld. Even if one resentful soul dies, the monstrous resentment will be swallowed by the next resentful soul, giving birth to a new resentful soul."

"The resentful souls are immortal, I want to see, how many resentful souls can you actually save? Hahahahahahaha!"

This Ghost Emperor laughed loudly.

In an instant, countless resentful souls rushed towards Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli.

One propped up the Pure Land.

One propped up the Buddhist kingdom.

The two of them were indeed constantly saving these resentful souls, but what the Ghost Emperor said was not wrong, the number of resentful souls was like the sands of the Ganges, it was impossible for them to completely save them all.

Once their Buddhist power was exhausted, trouble would come.

In the Great Thunderclap Ancient Temple.

Many monks frowned, worried for the two of them.

At the same time.

Lu Changsheng had just arrived in the Underworld, a full four hours late.

However, the place where Lu Changsheng landed was countless miles away from Bodhi Wisdom and others.

He landed... outside a vast palace.

This was where the Ghost Emperor lived.

The number of resentful souls was extremely large, and what was even more terrifying was that the weakest of these resentful souls were all in the Immortal Lord realm.

"Big Brother Changsheng, Shan Ting is afraid!"

Shan Ting landed, and seeing the surrounding scenery, he couldn't help but speak, appearing somewhat afraid.

"Don't panic."

Lu Changsheng said indifferently.

And after Lu Changsheng descended here.

The Ghost Emperor also sensed it in an instant.

"To dare to appear in front of me, you are really bold."

The Ghost Emperor's voice rang out, he was somewhat angry.

Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli did not dare to land here, but Lu Changsheng landed here.

Countless monks in the Great Thunderclap Ancient Temple, seeing this scene, their faces changed drastically.

Lu Changsheng landed here, it was simply courting death.

Boom!

The Ghost Emperor's phantom appeared, his ten thousand-foot body overlooking Lu Changsheng.

"Do you also want to dance?"

The Ghost Emperor's voice appeared, he stared at Lu Changsheng, his eyes filled with coldness.

In the wilderness.

Lu Changsheng was peerless and graceful.

After seeing the Ghost Emperor, he was also slightly surprised. He never thought that he would encounter the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld as soon as he landed. This luck was really unbelievably good.

It was just that what surprised Lu Changsheng even more was.

This Ghost Emperor actually started playing memes with him?

"Amitabha, the so-called capture the thief, capture the king first. Saving more resentful souls is not as good as saving the most powerful resentful soul. Once the dragons have no leader, everything will be easy to say."

Lu Changsheng said, he was very confident.

He had already understood the Scripture of Salvation on the way, and had absolute confidence, otherwise he would not dare to do this.

"Capture the thief, capture the king first? Oh, you want to save me? Hahahahahahaha, you are overestimating yourself."

The Ghost Emperor laughed. In his eyes, Lu Changsheng was like a madman, actually daring to say such words. However, he was not in a hurry to attack. After all, Lu Changsheng could call himself the strongest in the Underworld, and he was also very happy, so he wanted to say a few more words to Lu Changsheng and play slowly.

It was just that Lu Changsheng shook his head, smiled slightly, and said.

"Nay, nay!"

The voice rang out, and the Ghost Emperor couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Capture the thief, capture the king first, was clearly talking about himself.

Why was it nay, nay again?

He was very curious, and looked at Lu Changsheng.

Not only the Ghost Emperor.

Some of the surrounding ghost generals were also very curious.

Countless monks in the Great Thunderclap Ancient Temple were also curious.

At this time.

Lu Changsheng slowly spoke.

"May I ask, is your mother home?"

Lu Changsheng smiled indifferently, and asked kindly.

The voice fell.

Everything was silent.

Including the Buddhist world, it also completely quieted down.
