He Gave the Book of Life and Death a Classification and Conferred the Title of Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate of Salvation! Taiyi's Mockery!

The Netherworld.

Inside the Underworld Court.

Pingxin and Qingyuan sat at a tea table, drinking tea.

They were discussing Ksitigarbha.

Pingxin frowned. "Fellow Daoist, the Two Shakya are greedy beyond measure. They actually had their Personal Disciple Ksitigarbha make the Great Vow, 'Until Hell is empty, I vow not to become a Buddha,' to seize the Netherworld's Fortune Aura!"

Why couldn't Pingxin turn that against them?

The two talked for a long while.

Pingxin suddenly took out the Book of Life and Death and set it
