Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 407 The Supreme Being of the Earthly Path Fights Two Against One!

In the Immortal Realm, countless powerful beings widened their eyes in shock!

"That... could it be that Venerable Houtu has made her move!"

"Besides the Venerable Houtu, who else in the Netherworld could withstand a single blow from the Sage of Reception?"

"Legend has it that the Venerable Houtu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and her strength was far inferior to that of the Six Sages. But seeing this today, it seems that's not the case!"

In the Immortal Realm, countless powerful beings from the primordial era whispered among themselves, having made thorough preparations.

When sages clash, it is both a disaster and an opportunity.

Every action of a sage is a manifestation of the Dao. If one can comprehend even a fraction of it, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal can make great progress!

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, seeing that Houtu had also appeared, Jieyin no longer hesitated. With a flash, he flew to the Netherworld.

In the underworld, before the Gates of Hell, the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation flows, evolving into a massive black hole.

Houtu wore a pale yellow dress, her figure was slender, her body was spotless, and her long black hair cascaded down her back.

She was stunningly beautiful, beyond compare, but her face was cold, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay, as she slowly emerged from the black hole.

"Fellow Daoists Zhunti and Jieyin, why have you come to my Western Paradise to cause trouble?"

Houtu's voice was extremely cold, showing no respect whatsoever to Zhunti or Jieyin.

Houtu testified that she was a Great Dao Sage, and a Great Dao Sage meant that she was directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Dao.

Even the Heavenly Dao cannot interfere with Houtu.

Otherwise, when the Dao Ancestor divided the Three Realms and established the Four Continents at the end of the Investiture of the Gods, he wouldn't have specifically emphasized that the Netherworld was under the jurisdiction of Houtu.

Over the years, the underworld has developed rapidly, and every moment, countless souls enter the six realms of reincarnation.

For every soul that is reincarnated, the underworld gains a wisp of merit.

Over countless millennia, the strength of the Netherworld's fortune has become evident, and the power of Houtu, the ruler of the underworld, is even more unfathomable.

The guide, his face expressionless, bowed to Houtu and said, "Venerable Houtu, our Western Paradise has always considered helping and saving people as our own. There are countless wronged souls in the Underworld, and it is precisely the time when our Mahayana Buddhism is in need. I humbly request that Venerable Houtu grant permission for my Western disciples to help the Underworld share some of the burden."

Styx chuckled strangely, "You two fellow Daoists really know how to talk. If it's for the West, then it's for the West. Why come up with such a lofty and righteous reason? It only makes us a laughingstock."

Houtu thought for a moment and said, "The Netherworld has its own Underworld. The Underworld's duty is to guide the souls of the dead. You two don't need to worry about this matter."

"What if the West insists on participating?" Jieyin's eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward. The aura of the Holy Path flowed, and the pressure of the Saint transformed into a storm that swept across the Three Realms!

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the Great Crimson Heaven, in the Tushita Palace, Taiqing's eyes narrowed, his gaze deep and profound.

"Such a powerful aura! The West is no longer holding back for the sake of the Underworld. It seems that this plan of the Underworld is extremely important to the West!"

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, at the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi sat atop the auspicious clouds of the heavens, his expression momentarily frozen.

"This aura... I underestimated the West!"

As is widely known, among the Six Sages of Heaven, Tongtian Jiaozhu is the strongest in combat, Taiqing has the deepest cultivation, and Zhunti is the weakest.

Jieyin rarely takes action after attaining enlightenment, and is generally considered to be slightly stronger than Zhunti.

At this moment, in the Netherworld, the aura emanating from Jieyin was no weaker than his, demonstrating the depth of the West's hidden power.

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, at Biyou Palace, Tongtian smiled freely, stroking the Qingping Sword at his waist, a fighting spirit rising in his heart!

"What a capable guide! His strength is indeed formidable, but it's a pity this is in the Netherworld."

The Tongtian Sect Leader slowly shook his head. Although Jieyin was powerful, he probably still couldn't do anything to Houtu.

In the Netherworld, Jieyin stretched out his own aura, and Zhunti followed.

The combined auras of the two brothers swept across the four seas and eight wastelands.

All living beings in the Three Realms shuddered, their faces showing fear.

"snort!"

Styx gave a cold snort, with Abi, Yuantu, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus accompanying him, staring coldly at Zhunti.

Houtu frowned slightly. "Does the Western Daoist truly intend to make a move in the Netherworld?"

With a calm expression, Jieyin slowly said, "Ksitigarbha's entry into the Underworld is an inevitable trend and is also recognized by the Heavenly Dao. I hope that Your Excellency will not obstruct it."

Houtu smiled. The Netherworld had been peaceful for a long time, and she was unwilling to start a war.

However, the two Westerners are being extremely aggressive. If they are not taught a lesson, the underworld will likely never be peaceful again.

"Fellow Daoist Styx, thank you for your help this time. Please leave the rest to me."

Houtu nodded slightly towards the Styx River.

Styx chuckled and stepped aside. "No trouble at all. With the Venerable One taking action, there's naturally no problem."

Houtu turned around, glanced earnestly at Zhunti and Jieyin, and slowly said, "Fellow Daoists, please feel free to attack. If you can defeat me, Ksitigarbha can naturally enter the Underworld and do as he pleases. But if I win, you two will return to where you came from. How about that?"

These words caused a huge uproar in the Immortal Realm, even before the people of the Netherworld were affected!

"Hiss, is the Venerable Houtu going to fight two against one?"

"Not to mention the Sage Zhunti, the Sage Jieyin's strength is unfathomable. The combined power of the two of them is truly immense!"

"This time, it seems the Buddhist sect may truly be setting up camp in the underworld."

Countless powerful beings in the primordial world, from Xuanxian and Jinxian to Quasi-Saints, all had little faith in Houtu.

They all sensed the aura that was just released by the guide!

Although we don't know exactly how strong it is, we can compare it to Zhunti!

In comparison, Jieyin is at least several levels stronger than Zhunti. Houtu Venerable has lived in the underworld for a long time. Can he really win?

Even the saints were filled with doubt and uncertainty. With Jieyin's strength being extremely powerful and Zhunti's assistance, none of the saints, except Tongtian who set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation, were confident of victory!

Is Houtu really that powerful?

At Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at Zhao Gongming. "This concerns the next step of Buddhism's plan. It's a matter of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. If things get really bad, I can step in!"

The entry of Ksitigarbha into the underworld is of great significance. If successful, it would mean that Mahayana Buddhism has a continuous and outstanding seed production base.

When that happens, all the excellent seeds of the East will flow to the West, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "Master underestimates the strength of Venerable Houtu. Her body is a manifestation of reincarnation and an incarnation of the earth, which is not something to be trifled with. With just the two of you, you can't cause any trouble."

"it is good."

The Tongtian Sect Leader stopped trying to dissuade him. Since his disciple had said so, he must be absolutely certain.

In the Netherworld, Zhunti and Jieyin's eyes lit up. "Fellow Daoist, is what you say true?"

"The truth doesn't lie, so please feel free to make your move, fellow Daoists."

Houtu seemed to be getting impatient and urged Zhunti and Jieyin to make their move quickly.

"Alright, please don't blame me if I've accidentally injured any fellow cultivators!"

Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance, almost bursting out laughing!

They're going to win today!

Ksitigarbha entered the underworld and also entered a meditative state!

The will of Heaven is overwhelming, and Buddhism is flourishing. The Taoist Ancestor's words were indeed true!
