Excuse Me, Is Your Mother Home?

The underworld.

It is located to the left of the Buddhist realm.

In the vast starry sky.

Lu Changsheng walked calmly.

Now that he has reached the Immortal King Ninth Heaven, Lu Changsheng is capable of traversing the universe.

Normal Immortal King find it difficult to traverse the universe because there are many terrifying things in the universe, such as Starry Sky Giant Beast, auroras, and some terrifying magnetic fields that form Innate Grand Array, which even Immortal Emperors must be careful to avoid.

However, although Lu Changsheng was at the Immortal King Realm, he was no less powerful than the Immortal Emperor. In addition, his mastery of formations was extremely high, so he was not afraid of these dangers.

Traversing the universe is a symbol of strength.

The underworld is indeed not too far from the Buddhist realm, much closer than the distance between the Buddhist and immortal realms. However, even with the Great Teleportation Art, Lu Changsheng would need to use it at least hundreds of times to reach the underworld.

With his current cultivation level at the Immortal King Ninth Heaven, Lu Changsheng can cover a distance of billions of miles in a single Great Teleportation Art.

If Lu Changsheng were to reach the Immortal Emperor Realm, he could use the Great Teleportation Art to reach the Underworld with just a thought.

However, Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli had already arrived in the Underworld. They had other means, especially Nanming Liuli, who used a World Breaking Talisman to arrive in the Underworld in an instant.

Bodhi Wisdom also possessed corresponding treasures, and the two of them dared not traverse the universe alone. Even though Nanming Liuli was already at the Immortal Emperor Realm, they did not want to encounter any trouble along the way.

In other words, Lu Changsheng was reckless enough to directly traverse the universe with his physical body.

Inside the Great Thunder Ancient Temple, three celestial mirrors illuminated the three of them. The cultivators watched as Lu Changsheng traversed the universe, speechless with astonishment.

Even the Divine Monk Jialan was somewhat shocked. After all, he could also traverse the universe, but he wouldn't dare to do it so directly.

Boom!

Nanming Liuli was the first to appear in the underworld.

Indeed, in the underworld, there are howling ghosts and howling wolves, and all kinds of wronged souls gather together. The entire underworld is spherical, and although there is land, everything is nothingness.

The air was filled with the wailing of vengeful spirits, the howling of ghosts and gods, and all sorts of other sounds, creating a scene resembling hell.

A three-headed Ghost General reached out and grabbed tens of thousands of vengeful spirits, then stuffed them into his mouth, absorbing a large amount of their essence to strengthen himself.

This is a world where people truly eat each other, and all sorts of scenes appear, with bloodshed and killing constantly taking place here.

Furthermore, various terrifying hallucinations appeared.

A general waved his hand, and a million heads fell at once. The corpses burned for ten days and ten nights, and the ashes filled the sky, a nauseating sight.

A cultivator, holding a blood-red square flag, waved it, and ghosts flew out, annihilating all the humans in an ancient city.

The battle between the two unparalleled experts caused the collapse of hundreds of thousands of mountains and rivers. Countless people died tragically, their corpses littered the fields, rivers of blood flowed, and resentment filled the sky.

What's even more terrifying is that countless vengeful spirits are constantly pouring into the underworld. In the five realms, people die unjustly every moment. Some die innocently, while others die from resentment. Their obsessions lead them to the underworld.

The underworld is even more cruel.

Here, the way to become stronger is to devour other souls, but you need to refine their obsessions and strengthen your own. If you can't withstand their overwhelming obsessions, trouble will ensue.

Therefore, in the underworld, you devour me and I devour you. Although a few major powers have settled this rule of devouring each other, the major powers are still fighting each other, and whoever loses will also be devoured.

Moreover, because this place is extremely eerie, there are far too many vengeful spirits. After all, vengeful spirits from the five realms—the human realm, the Buddhist realm, the immortal realm, the demon realm, and the devil realm—all have to enter the underworld. Some vengeful spirits are born very powerful. For example, if an Immortal King dies and his obsession is deep enough, he can also transform into a vengeful spirit of Immortal King.

However, there is a fundamental difference after becoming a vengeful spirit.

You will lose all reason. You will not understand who you are, nor do you know your past or your future. You will only have an obsession. Unless you become the Ghost Emperor, you will have almost no consciousness.

And it goes without saying how difficult it is to become Ghost Emperor.

If one did not become an Immortal Emperor in life, it is even more difficult to become Ghost Emperor after death, especially for souls of higher realms.

However, even if one cannot become the Ghost Emperor, one can still wreak havoc in the Underworld and may even be subdued by the Ghost Emperor and taken under his command.

Nanming Liuli appeared.

Seeing so many souls, his face showed even deeper sorrow. He shook his head, clasped his hands together, and said that he was extremely experienced in helping the souls of the dead find peace.

"Amitabha."

The Nanming Liuli landed on a desolate mountain. In an instant, countless vengeful spirits roared and rushed towards the Nanming Liuli Glass. They had no intelligence and just wanted to devour it.

"The world is full of suffering, and all living beings are like ants. The sea of suffering Wu Ya, but turning back is the shore. The surging resentment is endless. I have a Buddhist kingdom where you can be reborn in the Pure Land. Dear benefactors, let go of your attachments, cleanse your sins, and enter my My Buddha kingdom."

Nanming Liuli's voice rang out.

His voice, like an ancient bell, resounded for tens of thousands of miles around. Golden light surged from beneath his feet, and ten thousand rays of Buddhist light shone behind him. The extraordinary phenomenon of the Supreme Buddha Country appeared, illuminating this world.

These vengeful spirits were chanting scriptures when auspicious signs appeared in the Buddhist realm. Golden Buddhist light bathed these vengeful spirits, instantly cleansing everything and washing away all the filth from their bodies.

Those sins, those evils, those obsessions have all vanished.

Each vengeful spirit whose sins were cleansed was bathed in pale golden Buddhist light. They suddenly realized the cause of their past actions, knelt on the ground with utmost piety, and then disappeared into the Buddhist realm.

Supreme Buddha Country appeared, hundreds of thousands of vengeful souls were liberated in the blink of an eye and then entered the Buddha Kingdom.

At the same time, Nanming Liuli was also chanting Buddhist scriptures, intending to deliver these vengeful spirits from suffering.

Inside the Great Thunder Ancient Temple.

Upon witnessing this scene, millions of monks clasped their hands together and exclaimed, "Amitabha, well done, well done!"

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

"In a single breath, one can deliver 100,000 vengeful souls. At this rate, with 13,500 breaths a day, Nanming Liuli can deliver 1.035 billion souls in a single day. My God."

"One billion thirty-five million souls per day, how many per month? How many per year? How many per ten years? It's unimaginable."

"This method of deliverance is indeed terrifying. Moreover, if Nanming Liuli continues to perform deliverance here, even if he does not receive the Buddha Sect Mark, the merit he accumulates, combined with his Buddhist kingdom, will bring about tremendous changes."

"It's a pity that some powerful figures in the underworld won't sit idly by. Such a ritual will inevitably cause trouble. If the Ghost Emperor appears, things will get complicated."

"Yes, if the deceased can be safely delivered, the underworld is an unparalleled treasure for My Buddha disciples. However, there are also some extremely vicious vengeful spirits in the underworld. Throughout history, many eminent monks from our My Buddha community have gone to the underworld, but almost none of them have been able to return alive."

The crowd exclaimed in amazement at Nanming Liuli's methods of performing the ritual, while others wondered if Nanming Liuli would accumulate immense merit if things continued this way.

However, a high-ranking monk spoke up, revealing the biggest problem in the underworld.

Throughout history, many eminent monks have traveled to the underworld in an attempt to deliver the souls of the dead from suffering.

Who doesn't know that there are many vengeful spirits in the underworld? Who doesn't know that performing a ritual to help the spirits pass on to the afterlife will bring merit?

But if you're not strong enough, and you go to the underworld, you'll encounter the Ghost King and Ghost Emperor. They won't listen to your nonsense and could easily kill you with a single blow.

So the issue isn't the ritual itself, but rather how many days you can perform the ritual.

Several hours later.

Bodhi Wisdom also appeared in the underworld.

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

But if someone encounters the Ghost Emperor, then they're in trouble.

But Bodhi Wisdom did not compete with Nanming Liuli for business; he appeared in a blood mountain 50,000 miles away from Nanming Liuli.

This mountain of blood is terrifying. It is covered with all kinds of blood, and the stench of blood is overwhelming. Countless vengeful spirits are fighting and devouring each other.

After the Bodhi Wisdom appeared, billions of vengeful spirits rushed over, like locusts, covering the sky and the earth, their resentment overwhelming.

"Amitabha."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke slowly.

In an instant, ten thousand golden rays bloomed behind him, each ray piercing the sky and dispelling all Evil Method. The Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared, its form vast and majestic, and with a wave of its Bodhi Tree, countless rays of light were scattered.

"The sea of suffering Wu Ya, but turning back is the shore!"

Bodhi Wisdom speaks out.

He chanted a sutra for deliverance, the sound of Buddhist chanting resounding for millions of miles. Centered on him, all the vengeful spirits within tens of thousands of miles were instantly transformed, then knelt under the Bodhi Tree, awakened to wisdom, and finally disappeared into the Bodhi Tree.

This method is even more divine.

Nanming Liuli had some insights, and he shook his head, but soon the Buddhist kingdom behind him also surged by tens of thousands of feet, making the Pure Land World even more real, and the speed of salvation was more than a hundred times faster than before.

He had been hiding something, but after the Bodhi Wisdom emerged, he no longer kept it to himself.

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

Unexpectedly, Bodhi Wisdom's method of deliverance was so terrifying that in an instant, he delivered countless vengeful spirits from thousands of miles away.

This moment.

Bodhi Wisdom holds Seven Treasures Mystical Tree, surrounded by Seven Colors Buddha light, evolving into Buddhist Pure Land, and liberating all departed souls.

He was like a true Buddha, and in this respect he truly suppressed Nanming Liuli.

To be honest, although Nanming Liuli's emotions were very stable, he did feel that something was wrong recently.

He came from the God Sea, and was of unparalleled nobility. Although Bodhi Wisdom an unparalleled genius of the God King Clan, he had not fully awakened and had not even obtained the true treasure of the Bodhi Clan.

How could he be compared to himself? But in fact, Bodhi Wisdom truly possesses great wisdom and profound Buddhist teachings. He is slightly better than himself in every way.

However, Nanming Liuli has absolute confidence in the Heavenly Dao Mark of the Buddhist Realm.

He has a trump card: even if he loses all three trials, he still has a way to obtain the Heavenly Dao Mark.

That's why he's so confident.

The two continuously redeemed the vengeful spirits of the underworld.

Over time.

Finally, a ghost at the level of a Celestial Emperor noticed it.

"Who dares to perform rituals for the deceased in my underworld?"

A terrifying sound rang out.

In the void, a phantom with a blue face and fangs appeared. This was the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld. He stared at Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli with boundless resentment in his eyes.

"Amitabha, everything arises from causes, and everything falls into effect."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke, looking at the Ghost Emperor with no fear in his eyes; on the contrary, he accelerated the process of delivering the deceased.

"Hahahaha, you fools who don't know their own mortality, you want to send my vengeful spirits to the afterlife? You're dreaming."

The Underworld Ghost Emperor laughed loudly. He stretched out his hand, and a giant hand covered the sky and the earth, with endless karma spreading everywhere.

With this slap, millions of miles of mountains and rivers were shattered, and countless vengeful spirits were instantly killed. Once the vengeful spirits died, they were gone forever, but they left behind an even more terrifying resentment.

This resentment permeates the underworld, and when it is devoured by other vengeful spirits, it can enhance one's strength, but it can also lead to a greater loss of self.

Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli disappeared at the same time. They escaped the Ghost Emperor's attack, but their salvation was interrupted.

"Amitabha, benefactor, do not remain stubbornly deluded."

Nanming Liuli spoke.

"You son of a bitch! You bunch of bald monks, all you do is tell others to let go of their attachments, why don't you let go of your own attachments and just die?"

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

"Benefactor, you are attached to appearances."

Bodhi Wisdom sighed and said this.

"Your house is on fire."

The Ghost Emperor's voice rang out again, but in an instant, gates of hell appeared one after another, and a large number of vengeful spirits poured out from each gate. These vengeful spirits transformed into Ghost General and rushed directly towards the two of them.

"You like performing rituals to help the dead pass on? Fine, today I'll let you do your best to help the dead pass on. There are countless vengeful spirits in the underworld. The total number of vengeful spirits in all five realms combined is not as many as there are in the underworld. Even if a vengeful spirit dies, its overwhelming resentment will be devoured by the next vengeful spirit, giving birth to a new vengeful spirit."

"The vengeful spirits will never die! I'd like to see just how many vengeful spirits you can actually deliver from suffering! Hahahaha!"

The Ghost Emperor laughed loudly.

In an instant, countless vengeful spirits rushed toward Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli.

One opens up a pure land.

One opens up a Buddhist kingdom.

The two were indeed constantly trying to deliver these vengeful spirits, but what the Ghost Emperor said was also true. There were so many vengeful spirits, like the sands of the Ganges, that it was impossible for them to deliver them all completely.

Once their Buddhist power is exhausted, trouble will ensue.

Great Thunder Ancient Temple.

Many monks frowned, worried about the two.

Meanwhile.

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

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

He landed outside a vast palace.

This is where the Ghost Emperor resides.

The number of vengeful spirits is enormous, and what's even more terrifying is that the weakest of these vengeful spirits are all at the Immortal Lord Realm.

"Brother Changsheng, Shan Ting!"

Shan Ting to the surroundings, and upon seeing the scene around him, he couldn't help but speak, sounding somewhat frightened.

"Don't panic."

Lu Changsheng spoke calmly.

And then Lu Changsheng arrived at this place.

The Ghost Emperor noticed it in an instant.

"How dare you show your face in front of me? You're really bold."

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

Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli dared not land here, but Lu Changsheng did.

The monks of Great Thunder Ancient Temple were visibly shaken by what they saw.

Lu Changsheng is practically courting death by landing here.

Boom!

The phantom of the Ghost Emperor appeared, his ten-thousand-foot-tall body looking down at Lu Changsheng.

"Would you like to dance too?"

The Ghost Emperor's voice appeared, and he stared at Lu Changsheng with a cold look in his eyes.

And in the desolate mountains.

Lu Changsheng was exceptionally handsome and talented.

Upon seeing the Ghost Emperor, they were slightly surprised. They hadn't expected to encounter the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld so soon after setting foot there. Their luck was truly incredible.

What surprised Lu Changsheng even more was...

This Ghost Emperor is actually making fun of me?

"Amitabha, as the saying goes, to catch the thief, first catch the king. No matter how many vengeful spirits you pray for, it is not as good as praying for the most powerful one. Once the group is leaderless, everything will be much easier."

Lu Changsheng spoke, and he was very confident.

On the way here, I had already understood the Salvation Scripture of Salvation and had absolute confidence; otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to do this.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king? Oh, you want to send me to the afterlife? Hahahaha, you overestimate yourself."

The Ghost Emperor laughed loudly. In his eyes, Lu Changsheng was like a madman who dared to say such things. However, he was not in a hurry to make a move. After all, he was happy that Lu Changsheng could call himself the strongest in the Underworld. So he wanted to talk to Lu Changsheng a few more times and play with him slowly.

Lu Changsheng simply shook his head and smiled slightly.

"No, no!"

Upon hearing the voice, the Ghost Emperor was slightly taken aback.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king"—this saying clearly refers to himself.

Why is it "neither yes nor no" again?

He looked at Lu Changsheng with curiosity.

It wasn't just the Ghost Emperor.

Some of the Ghost General around were also very curious.

The monks of Great Thunder Ancient Temple were also curious.

It was at this moment.

Lu Changsheng spoke slowly.

"Excuse me, is your mother in?"

Lu Changsheng smiled calmly and asked kindly.

The sound faded.

Everything was silent.

Even the Buddhist realm has fallen into complete silence.
