Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva
"Your sincerity is certainly sufficient, but your conditions are not."
Li Boyang stared intently at the boy and made his stance clear without any hesitation.
Even if you don't intervene, this Mara poses no threat to me or Xiluo.
"On the contrary, if you hadn't sent Ox-Head and Horse-Face to deliver that page of the Book of Life and Death, I could have easily annihilated that Mara."
Li Boyang was not making unfounded accusations, but rather concisely stating an established fact.
Mara was a formidable enemy in the eyes of Fu Kui and his companions; they risked their lives if they were not careful.
However, in Li Boyang's view, that Mara was nothing more than a minor ailment and not worth taking seriously at all.
If the other party hadn't intercepted a page of the Book of Life and Death, Li Boyang wouldn't have even given them a second glance.
Even so, dealing with that Mara was only slightly more troublesome, and it didn't affect the final outcome.
"I've brought my sincerity, and I've brought my terms."
Imitating Li Boyang's gesture, the boy raised his eyebrows slightly and then turned his gaze to a hidden trench beneath him.
That was where Mara imprisoned Miaoshan; a thick black mist shrouded everything.
"Na Xiluo wanted to prove the ' Dao of Divine Spirits,' but the Yin Deity and Ghost God belonged to my jurisdiction."
"I know you copied a list of the pools, but how can a single list help Xiluo Dao Proving?"
The boy laughed as he waved towards the thick fog.
The next second, the black mist that had trapped Miaoshan instantly transformed into a page of the Book of Life and Death, falling into the boy's hands out of thin air.
"However, that list becomes different when you add this page from the Book of Life and Death."
"From this day forward, the Yin Deity and Ghost God under my command will also be bound by the ' Dao of Divine Spirits '."
"Are you satisfied with this sincerity?"
Without giving Li Boyang a chance to refuse, the young man pushed the page of the Book of Life and Death towards him.
Unfortunately, although Li Boyang readily accepted the page from the Book of Life and Death, his attitude remained firm.
"Doing a favor for someone who's doing you a favor isn't always a good deal."
"You know I'm reforging the ' Jade Pool Heavenly Book,' this page from the Book of Life and Death merely accelerated its formation."
Even without this page from the Book of Life and Death, I would only have to spend more time and effort.
In this situation, even the young man couldn't help but fall silent.
As the most powerful being in the world, the Netherworld Lord and Li Boyang actually share a certain tacit understanding.
When Li Boyang repeatedly rejected the boy, the boy realized the other party's true intentions.
But it was precisely for this reason that the boy chose to remain silent.
"I am single-mindedly pursuing the Great Dao and have no intention of getting involved in the grudges and entanglements between those Dao Proving One."
"Especially symbolic existences like 'pond'."
With a slight upturn of his lips, Li Boyang simply smiled nonchalantly.
"As long as you still have desires, it's only a matter of time before you get involved in the grudges and entanglements between those Dao Proving One."
"I didn't force you; you brought all this on yourself."
"You know about the relationship between Xiluo and me, so you're trying to use that relationship to get me to make concessions."
"If that's the case, why hold back?"
Looking at the silent boy, Li Boyang smiled and continued.
"As for that 'pool' you mentioned?"
I don't actually care about the existence of "Chi".
"I'm standing here only because Xiluo wants to Dao Proving."
"Xiluo is proving the ' Dao of Divine Spirits,' which is destined to offend many beings who practice this way."
"Whether in the past, present, or future, unless the Chis are willing to give up their divine status, they will more or less be constrained by Xiluo."
"Moreover, with 'Chi' stirring things up, Xiluo's Dao Proving is destined to be met with enemies from all over the world."
"In comparison, this Mara is merely the most insignificant of them all."
After a slight pause, Li Boyang looked at the boy and said very seriously.
"Help me stop the pools that might affect Xiluo's path to Dao Proving —for example, those Dao Proving One from the Netherworld." "As long as you help me stop the pools, I'll handle the rest."
The Netherworld Lord is the ruler of the Netherworld, the supreme Yin Son of Heaven of the Underworld.
All the Great Heavenly Deity born from the Netherworld, regardless of which era they live in, have inevitably received favors or influences from the Netherworld Lord. As long as the Netherworld Lord is willing to intervene, they will more or less give him face.
As for more?
Li Boyang didn't ask for much, and didn't even care.
After all, the presence of the Netherworld Lord already possesses sufficient deterrent power.
"Then why don't you take action yourself?"
At this moment, the boy finally broke his silence.
Given Li Boyang's current status and his prestigious reputation as the "Dao Ancestor".
If he were willing to step forward and support Xiluo, the effect would be even better than with the Netherworld Lord, and he could also legitimately resolve the "pool" issue. However, from beginning to end, Li Boyang seemed to only intend to remain behind the scenes, providing various forms of assistance to Xiluo's Dao Proving, rather than personally intervening. "Now is not the time."
Taking a deep breath, Li Boyang revealed a rare hint of helplessness.
Nowadays, Li Boyang might only show such a human expression when he is with his family or in front of an opponent of equal caliber like the Netherworld Lord.
"At least before the 'formal birth of the Queen Mother of the West,' things hadn't progressed to the point where the Dao Ancestor needed to intervene."
The boy stared silently at Li Boyang, seemingly having seen through the other's intentions.
The Dao Ancestor before me is exactly the same as the one I first encountered.
They are always cautious to the point of being intimidating, and they are always planning some high-risk, high-reward moves. This time is no exception.
Are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole? Or do you have a bigger scheme in mind?
Fortunately, this time, the boy didn't let the silence last too long.
"Fine, whatever your plans are, I trust your choice."
"As a friend, I'm willing to lend you a hand..."
Not as the Lord of Mount Tai, but as the "future reincarnation of the Lord of Mount Tai"!
"But my requirements have to change. Now I not only want to take over the Six Desire Heavens, but you also need to arrange a sufficiently important identity for me..." After all, the Lord of Mount Tai may not care about those trivial details, but the future "I" must have enough ability to protect myself. As he said this, a human-like bitter smile also appeared on the young man's face.
As an incarnation destined to be abandoned by the Netherworld Lord, the young man seemed to have already foreseen a series of calamities after his reincarnation.
"In the Six Desire Heavens, I must be the ruler of a world."
"In the Netherworld, my status is no less than that of the Great Emperor of Fengdu."
"If necessary, I can even travel to the mortal realm and possess an identity recognized by the Three Realms."
"There is no place in the Three Realms Six Paths of Reincarnation, or the Six Desire Realms that I cannot go."
The boy's request was undeniably demanding, but Li Boyang agreed almost without hesitation.
"No problem. Whether before or after reincarnation, whether you are the Netherworld Lord or his reincarnation, you are my friend." "In the mortal realm, you will be a practitioner with all six supernatural powers..."
"In the Heavenly Realm realm, you will be the ruler of the Buddha Kingdom, recognized by the ancient Buddhas..."
"Back in Fengdu, you were also Ksitigarbha, sharing power with the Kṣitigarbha Great Emperor of Fengdu..."
"The Dao of Primordial Beginning is also unconditionally open to you and your true self. How does that promise seem to you?"
