I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 178 Heavenly Man
“My son is destined for great things, how can I hold you back?” Mother Liu’s words were sincere and heartfelt.

Liu Boqin forcefully wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

“Mother, how did you end up here? I was fighting with Mara, did He pull your soul here?” Liu Boqin was extremely serious when he said this.

His murderous aura was so intense that it seemed he could tear the barrier around him apart at any moment.

"It seems you have truly absorbed the essence of Buddhism. Although the Illusion Bell of Mara is not as powerful as that of Brahma, it is not weak either, yet you are unaffected here. It seems that my choice to make you the guardian of the Two Realms Mountain was indeed the right one."

The sudden sound made Liu Boqin's face show a hint of panic.

Instinctively shielding Liu's mother behind him, he looked toward the source of the sound and saw Ye Xuantian slowly walking out, his eyes full of admiration.

Liu Boqin seemed completely taken aback by Ye Xuantian's appearance and immediately knelt down, saying, "Boqin greets the Sage!"

"Your mother was willing to sacrifice her life for your great cause. Seeing your sincere heart, I went to the underworld to settle her. In this way, your mind will be without any regrets. I just don't know if you can endure the loneliness. After all, the spirits and monsters are hard to exterminate in the Two Realms Mountain. Leaving the Two Realms Mountain is the path to immortality. Can you resist such temptation?"

Upon hearing Ye Xuantian's question, Liu Boqin immediately said in a deep voice, "I was originally an orphan, but I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful wife. After my wife died, thanks to the sage's methods, we were able to reunite and were each granted a path to immortality. I was also given a wonderful mother, which made my heart even more fulfilled. Moreover, I have been given Buddhist scriptures to study and comprehend. I have no regrets!"

“I have gained some insights from observing the Two Realms Mountain recently. All the humans who have reached this place have shed their beastly hearts and gained the existence of human hearts. If I teach them the principles and guide them to do good, then the human race will also have a path to immortality. I am foolish and do not know if what I have realized these past few days is in line with the heart of the sage, or if I can follow it.”

Ye Xuantian let out a deep breath, his eyes filled with satisfaction. It was worth all the effort he had put into bringing this person under his command; today, his usefulness was finally being demonstrated.

"Shuangcha Ridge is the gateway between good and evil in people's hearts. If one tends towards good, one becomes a human; if one tends towards evil, one becomes a beast! Liangjie Mountain is the boundary between heaven and man. The way of heaven can govern the way of man, but the way of man cannot fully govern the way of heaven. Therefore, not everyone can become a saint. This is why this mountain exists. As you said, if any human beings come to this place, have a filial heart, and have a heart that reveres reincarnation, and do good deeds, you can help them pass through the boundary between heaven and man and wholeheartedly pursue the way."

At this moment, Liu's mother felt dizzy, as if Ye Xuantian was reciting a lullaby. Although her eyes were glazed over, there was a faint golden light around her.

"Indeed, it is a stroke of luck that you were able to comprehend the method of cultivation based on just one sentence from me. Since that is the case, I will send you into the cycle of reincarnation so that you may find a place to accumulate merit!"

With a wave of his hand, Ye Xuantian created a spatial rift beneath Liu's mother, which swallowed her whole.

Liu Boqin knew what the golden light on his mother meant: she had come to understand the difference between heaven and man, and had comprehended the ways of heaven and man. She already had the potential to become an immortal, and this reincarnation would surely bring her great success.

filial piety!
good!
Liu Boqin recited: "Filial piety is the origin of all virtues, and kindness is the treasure of a lifetime! This is the ultimate of humanity and the beginning of immortality! Boqin has memorized it."

hum!
As soon as Liu Boqin finished speaking, his aura became incredibly solid, instantly reaching the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Boqin bowed again respectfully.

"Go forth, the Asura lineage is incomplete in yin and yang, a heretical and unorthodox path, outside the Heavenly Way, and even more so outside the Human Way. With beast's head and human body, they are not tolerated by Heaven and Earth, and should—"

boom!
His cultivation, at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, suddenly erupted. Liu Boqin's eyes widened in fury, displaying a fierce, Vajra-like aura. He pressed his palm down again. "Execute him immediately!"

The power of the Buddhist kingdom in Liu Boqin's palm transformed into Daoist energy, which directly struck Tian Bo Xun's head.

Bang!
Tian Bo Xun's head exploded, turning into countless black blood foams that sprayed everywhere. However, the blood foams seemed to be afraid of something, and not a single drop sprayed onto Liu Bo Qin's body.

Upon seeing this scene, the villagers on the outskirts all knelt down: "Greetings, Guardian of the Mountain!"

Without exception, all the deities for whom temples were built and golden statues were created in folk religion were pragmatic.

The villagers of Liangjie Mountain have lived here since childhood and know how many wolves and tigers roam the mountains and forests. Today, Liu Boqin's actions have truly eliminated evil, so everyone knelt down.

"Although these tigers are all dead, there are still many dangers deep in the forest. You can only hunt on the outskirts. If you really need to hunt, be sure to go to my house and let me know. I will go into the mountains with you to hunt. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

After everyone responded, they gradually dispersed. Liu Boqin looked at the tiger carcasses scattered all over the mountain and finally shook his head helplessly.

These tigers, who usually reside deep within the area and possess a strong sense of territory, rarely appear here. Today, they have suffered an undeserved calamity, as Tianbo Xun's strength is too great, and he has possessed a true tiger king, making it even easier for him to control this group of tigers.

Liu Boqin sat cross-legged and began chanting scriptures. A palm-sized portal appeared before him. Liu Boqin pointed to the portal and said, "Let us enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

Whoosh whoosh!
A whooshing sound was heard, and the spirits of these tigers began to fly into it.

In the eerie ghost palace, above the clouds at the very top of the River of Reincarnation, an eye slowly opened, watching the souls of the tigers sink into the River of Reincarnation. That eye then took on a more serious expression.

"Another entrance has been opened between the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao? And it's the purest soul that's being activated. The selection process is quite thorough. This aura, this technique? Another person from the Xuan Tian Sect? Interesting, very interesting. It seems that the power of reincarnation can really be used at will in his hands. He truly doesn't take this Great Emperor seriously!"

The voice from within the clouds was extremely hoarse, and there wasn't much emotion hidden in its words, but for some reason, one could vaguely sense thunder brewing. After a long while, one eye slowly closed.

"Why should I be in such a hurry? What does the Heavenly Way and the Human Way have to do with my Earthly Way? Even the Jade Emperor isn't worried, so why should I care about him!"

As these words fell, his eyes closed completely, and the breath in the room slowly dissipated.

At the same time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appeared above the River of Reincarnation, looking at it with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Is Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun opening a back door? Why am I sensing the power of reincarnation? Has he gained new insights?"
