Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 357 World! Venerable! Earth! Treasure! Prajna! Padme Hum!
A momentous change is taking place in the underworld that would astound even enlightened Buddhists.

Greatly Compassionate and Merciful, Holy Venerable Fahai!
He abandoned his boundless aspirations and resolutely used them to liberate millions of vengeful ghosts from the cycle of reincarnation.

This is compassion for all sentient beings. It means viewing all sentient beings as children, bringing them joy and relieving their suffering, and having an equal and absolute compassion arising from a mind free from discrimination and distinction.

This compassion can be considered as fulfilling part of the one-sided agreement with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Using the authority of the underworld to judge crimes, he assisted his 30,000 karmic ghosts in swiftly slaying 70,000 evil ghosts, thus cleansing the City of the Wrongfully Dead.

This is a steadfast and great mind, possessing the four powers. It eradicates all evil karma and sins of sentient beings, purifying them. It prevents all evil thoughts from growing. It can break through all afflictions and increase immeasurable blessings and wisdom.

This Vajra Heart also fulfills part of the unilateral agreement with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

In half a day, millions of vengeful ghosts returned to the cycle of reincarnation.

It is clear that in matters of salvation, willpower and authority are far more suitable than fighting and killing.

We can't make sure Hell isn't empty, but we can certainly make the City of the Wrongfully Dead empty.

The second mass salvation technique of the Pure Land School was a great success, marking another glorious achievement.

Anyone who sees this would have to praise him as a good holy monk.

This level of expertise surpasses the combined achievements of all the eminent monks and virtuous masters in the sect over the years; currently, only the White Lotus Holy Mother can truly rival her.

The other party's grand ambition to bring humanity into their vacuum homeland is too cruel, so the Holy Father will continue his efforts.

Furthermore, even the matter of the City of the Wrongfully Dead has not been resolved satisfactorily, so we should not be arrogant.

But the Howling Hell beneath their feet is quite different.

There wasn't a trace of resentment or malevolent energy to be found in the small hell. The air, swept by the Great Thunderclap Temple, was incredibly clean, and there was even a faint scent of sandalwood.

There wasn't a single ghost in sight, only golden light shining through, making it feel as if one had entered some kind of dark, sacred land.

It's not just here that's changed.

The entire underworld is completely different.

Calamity is brewing in the underworld, and all the ghost kings are on high alert, preparing to consolidate their power.

First, golden light shone like the sun descending, then the aura of Ksitigarbha spread, causing all the ghosts to kneel in submission. Next, millions of living beings flew into reincarnation, and finally, the spectacle dissipated as if everything had returned to normal.

Having no experience, they dared neither approach nor stray far.

Divining the secrets of heaven is nothing but a fog; one can only anxiously watch what has happened in the Sixth Great Prison.

"The Black Mountain Demon has been subdued by the Bodhisattva?!"

"Is this the great calamity of heaven and earth?"

"Impossible! There are no children of calamity in the underworld!"

"With immortals, Buddhas, and saints missing, and no powerful beings undergoing reincarnation or training, how can a calamity be triggered!"

All I can say is that they're a bunch of greenhorns.

The reason why the underworld has been peaceful for so long is that most of those who triggered the great calamity have already been annihilated, and there are very few ruthless people who have come down to the underworld and still insist on causing trouble without wavering.

While the ghost kings were still discussing, Xu Xuan did not stop what he was doing.

He is an ambitious person.

It is not enough to simply convert the people of one city.

The City of the Wrongfully Dead can accept those who died violently before their lifespan has ended, without going through the trial at the Ten Kings' Hall, making it a subsystem of the entire underworld system.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was kind-hearted and filled in the gaps.

However, when the main system went out of control, this subsystem became a bug and became the source of soldiers for the Black Mountain Demon.

Even if a million are saved today, this place will continue to receive new vengeful spirits as time goes on.

To make the Bodhisattva rest in peace.
Let's just destroy it.

This mental journey only passed through my mind for a moment, and then I decisively grasped the desire that was equal to my willpower and held it in my hands.

Then, using the Heavenly Dragon Spell, he brought Zhu Yingtai and Zhang Hua into the air. Staying in the city would be dangerous. His magical power surged, like a mighty wind filling all directions, and the fluctuations in his aura were distorting space.

In the void, demonic energy and Buddhist intent are perfectly merging, completing their union in an unprecedented way.

The holy monk placed his right hand on his chest in reverence for the compassion of the enlightened one, while his left hand slowly turned over to suppress countless desires.

The sound of thunder traveled for thousands of miles.

It is no longer the compassion and love shown during the time of salvation.

Rather, it conveys a sense of majesty, dominance, power, greatness, and transcendence.

Each syllable of the mantra is gathering supreme power.

"World Honored One! Ksitigarbha! Prajnaparamita! Padme Hum!"

This incantation is not simple.

The World Honored One refers to the Buddha, and Ksitigarbha refers to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

This is Xu Xuan unilaterally explaining what he wants to do and hoping that the Bodhisattva will understand.

Prajna means wisdom, Padme means the heart of the Lotus Family, and Hum means the heart of the Vajra Family.

This is the Great Bright Mantra, which wards off and extinguishes the harm caused by evil spirits in the world, purifies the karmic obstacles of the six realms, and extinguishes all the five poisons and afflictions.

The two combined mean: Bodhisattva, I want to destroy the City of the Wrongfully Dead, please protect me.

Click! ! ! ! !

Billions of desires transformed into raging winds, floods, raging fires, and divine power, manifesting countless calamities that rushed downwards.

The City of the Wrongfully Dead was blessed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and recognized by the rules of the underworld as soon as it was established.

Every brick and tile is imbued with divine power; the entire city can be said to be a derivative of the rules.

Even bodhisattvas who have attained immortality and achieved enlightenment will eventually perish. The divine path, evolved from the innate and acquired, will collapse; a city is truly nothing in comparison.

Black Mountain watched everything unfold from the seabed, its mountain range trembling as if it had suffered a brain attack.

No! That's one of the most precious treasures in the underworld of the City of the Wrongfully Dead! You monk, have you gone mad? You've gone mad!
How arrogant! This completely contradicts the original intention of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Pure Land sect, someone come and take a look! This monk has gone mad!!!

The seabed lies above the howling hell, and Black Mountain roars across the boundary barrier:

"That demonic monk, how dare you destroy a single brick or tile of my City of the Wrongfully Dead! I will skin you alive, tear out your tendons, gnaw on your bones, and eat your heart!"

The enormous black face was reflected above the City of the Wrongfully Dead, appearing even larger than the five-hundred-mile-long city itself.

An ordinary person would naturally weigh the pros and cons, but who is Xu Xuan?

Upon arriving in this world, he used his iron palms to suppress Qiantang. Upon entering the Dao, he became the White Lotus Saint Father. His every move stirred up the cultural heritage of Jiangnan. The opponents he fought against were all like Judge Lu, Five Dynasties Dragon Qi, and Dragon Subduer.

You lowly Montenegrins, get out of here and join the queue!

"Fall! Fall! Fall!"

No matter how crazy Montenegro goes, it cannot stop the madness of these desires accumulated over thousands of years after they are unleashed.

The raging winds of desire, like a runaway beast, swept through hell with the rage of not receiving a response from the Bodhisattva.

"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva! Why can't I transcend this!"

"He suffered endless humiliation in his lifetime and had no chance to take revenge in the future. It's unjust! It's unjust!"

"I've been trapped in the City of the Wrongfully Dead for five hundred years, when will I be able to reincarnate?!"

The deafening roars seemed to devour the entire world.

The ancient city walls, unchanging through the ages, now appeared so fragile under the raging wind. The black bricks on the walls crumbled and fell away as if being snatched away by an invisible giant hand.
