Chapter 756: Buddha and Demons Appear in the Western Regions

After simply determining the whereabouts of the monsters that might appear in the future, Chu Tai discussed with Taoist Shou the issues concerning ghosts and gods in the underworld and local gods.

Among them, Chu Tai said that the ghosts and gods of the underworld must be strictly controlled, and there must not be any possibility of favoritism and abuse of power. As for the local land gods, mountain gods, river gods, and forest masters, they can be handed over to practitioners in various places, and even some sects are allowed to confer titles on their own. The Dongyue Taishan system only retains the right to supervise and punish.

"We only reserve the right to supervise and punish..."

Taoist Shou looked at Chu Tai and said with a smile, "You really used this word very cleverly. It seems that you have also understood some of the essence of Jun Mo's methods."

Chu Tai smiled when he heard this and said, "I only realized after reaching this position that some things are unavoidable. But after they are dealt with, all living beings will be able to live in peace in the future."

"That's true. What do you plan to do with the gods in the world? They may not be of high status, but they involve thousands of households. We must be cautious."

In response to Shou Dao Ren's question, Chu Tai did not hide his thoughts: "If possible, I hope to select some of the lives that were sacrificed this time and deify them."

As he spoke, Chu Tai materialized the shadows of many dead souls. Most of them were incomplete, with a faint spiritual light emanating from their bodies. They were either chanting to leave quickly, or trying to protect something, or supporting something.

They all died to save others during the calamity, and most of them had obsessions ingrained into their souls, so that after death their souls continued to help others and protect other souls, causing themselves to suffer in the calamity. Even after Chu Tai rang the Donghuang Bell, he was unable to completely save them.

"It turns out that their innate spiritual light has been affected. No wonder the great magical power you used earlier did not allow them to recover. Their current situation is somewhat similar to that of my junior brother. It is not due to external interference, but a problem with their own spiritual light reaction. In this case, Conferred Godhood is indeed a solution."

Taoist Rong Zhen took a look and understood the problem. He said with emotion, "However, the difference between you and me is that you need such emotions to stimulate yourself, while they need your pure emotions to ease their emotions."

When he said this, Taoist Rong Zhen looked at Taoist Yu and said, "Junior brother, how about when you help Taoist Shao Siming, you can also go to various places, see them, feel their aura, and assimilate their emotions with your own aura."

Although he didn't know what his senior sister really thought, based on his past experience, Taoist Yu immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

Shao Siming smiled and waved the purple bamboo branch in his hand. Red lines fell down and floated in front of Taoist Yu. He said softly, "These are the breaths of the dead souls. If you have nothing to do, you can go by yourself. Although my work is busy, your cultivation level is easy to handle. Just come back regularly to deal with it."

Seeing this, the mountain ghost next to him couldn't help but say, "Well, you told me you were too busy to help me, but now you don't want to use him just to get someone here."

When saying this, the mountain ghost pointed at Chu Tai, and finally looked at Taoist Yu: "If it doesn't work, let him come to help me. He was born in the mountains and forests, just in time to help me manage those mountain spirits and wild ghosts. You know, I am only a fourth-grade celestial being. Although I can split into thousands, the power of each clone on the mountain is weak and it is easy to be bullied."

"So you're planning to bully my junior brother, right?"

Taoist Rong Zhen looked at Chu Tai, but even though she said that, when she saw Taoist Yu who was a little at a loss, a hint of smile appeared in her eyes.

Taoist Shou felt the same way when he saw this. They could both feel that Taoist Yu's emotions were richer when he was around the mountain ghost, who also had the aura of mountains and forests, and Shao Siming, who was the gathering place of many causes and conditions. He was obviously influenced by the two and was in line with their purpose of bringing him to the human world.

As the conversation between the several people continued, some immortal fate gradually became entangled with Mount Tai, Dongyue, and many cultivators who were secretly observing also felt these changes. Earth immortals and ghost immortals like Yinshan Dizun, who had achieved enlightenment with the help of the fragments of the underworld in the past, were all thinking about whether to join Chu Tai.

They are not fools. They can see that the current situation is not simple and a war may break out again at any time.

But they also know that given the status of the Central Plains, the East and the Southern Border, if a war breaks out in the future, there will be no place to rest in the entire continent.

In the future, the immortal path will use Mount Tai in the East as a springboard to intervene in the changes of humanity, overthrow the Saint King Avenue of humanity, and suppress the Demon Lord Avenue.

That is, the Junmo Avenue will swallow up the Shengwang Avenue, expel the influence of the Immortal Avenue, occupy the sovereignty of humanity, and become the representative of humanity.

Or maybe the Saint King Avenue could reproduce its ancient glory, suppress the two major factions of the Immortal Path and the Demonic Path at one time, and continue to maintain its own sovereignty.

"Logically speaking, the chances of winning for the Immortal Path are the greatest, and the chances of winning for the Demonic Path are the second greatest, but the difference between the two is not that big. If I go alone, will I be ignored, or even lose the Underworld and get nothing?"

Yinshan Dizun was still a little hesitant. After all, his relationship with Chu Tai was not really good.

The incarnation of Ksitigarbha beside him was about to speak when he suddenly felt something and looked towards the west.

In the void, infinite Buddha light descended, covering half of the Western Regions. In the thousands of temples there, countless monks knelt in front of the Buddha statues in the most pious posture, chanting scriptures non-stop, turning prayer wheels, and the sound of Huangzhong and Dalu bells flowed automatically without wind.

Outside the temple, there were countless nobles wearing gold and silver, led by a group of monks, kneeling in front of the Buddhist temple, with extremely pious expressions, praying non-stop.

Behind them were civilians whose number had increased ten thousand times. Most of them were ragged and skinny, but at this moment they were all prostrating themselves on the ground.

Some of them were also extremely pious, but most of them had numb faces and just mechanically followed the people next to them, constantly knocking their foreheads against the hard frozen soil, their cracked lips opening and closing with the people next to them, and prayers with a little blood echoing all around.

These voices, some calm, some firm, some pious, some fanatical, some panicky, and some confused, echoed over the Western Regions and combined with the Buddha's light, transforming the sound of the wind in the sky, the sound of water on the land, and the calls of animals into incomparably solemn heavenly chants.

In the Western Regions, the human order was gradually eroded by the power of Buddhism. At the same time, many demons gathered there, corroding and absorbing the foundations and principles of most of the Western Regions.

Many animals that originally had no intelligence also began to emit some Buddha light, as if they were about to transform into guardian beasts.

"Damn it, how did the Buddha and the devil end up like this? No, I can't stay here alone."

Yinshan Dizun acted decisively, brought his own underworld fragments and many incarnations and quickly contacted Dasi Ming to express his desire to join the Dongyue Taishan system.
