Chapter 2 Alternative Saints
Queen Houtu beat Emperor Gou Chen to death and incorporated her priesthood that set up a catastrophe for the monks in the world into herself. The authority of the underworld was greatly boosted, and it was not inferior at all compared to before the underworld. Even because of the diversity of the external catastrophe, it was slightly surpassed. However Queen Houtu did not dare to slacken in any slightestness. She knew very well that the current situation was just a fragile balance.
After all, he will be strong by himself. If you want to truly rest assured, you have to depend on your own ability. The three saints of Taoism and the two saints of Buddhism, and there is only one saint in the underworld lineage. Because of his body, Empress Houtu became a saint in the underworld, and after leaving the underworld, he can only be considered a sub-saint, not a complete saint. If the balance is broken and the three families fight to fight, the underworld will definitely suffer losses.
In this regard, Empress Houtu was naturally unwilling to accept this. In her opinion, even if the underworld does not seek to dominate the heavens and all realms and only protects itself from peace, another saint must appear, and he is a saint who is unrestrained and can freely walk the heavens and all realms and freely show his power.
Hutu Niang was able to achieve great merits in heaven and reincarnation in the world, but she could not become a true saint. She naturally understood how difficult it would be to cultivate a saint after birth. But no matter how difficult it was, it would be better than waiting to die. After much discussion with Nuwa, she and Nuwa finally made a plan.
Hearing this, Du Xuan's mood was completely aroused. He knew that this plan must be the key to his death or adventure.
"This plan is to break the book of life and death!" The triangular fragment paused and said in a deep voice, "The book of life and death is a divine artifact of heaven, higher than the heavens and connected to all worlds. Whoever gets it can walk freely in any place of the heavens and worlds. In this way, the monks who get it can use the resources of the heavens and worlds to practice.
Of course, this is not enough. Otherwise, the Empress Houtu has been in charge of the Life and Death Book for many years and will not have become a saint yet! Those who obtain the Life and Death Book must also perform the robbery tasks issued by Empress Houtu. These tasks are all in line with the way of heaven. As long as they are completed, they will receive blessings of merit. The more difficult the task, the greater the merit, and even the chance of gaining luck! In this way, the monks who obtain fragments of the Life and Death Book have consolidated their foundation in one aspect.
Moreover, every time you perform a task, there are rewards. These rewards are the personal treasures of the two empresses and are of great help to the monks' practice. In addition, the way of heaven in the book of life and death cannot always be in a state of division, and unity is inevitable. In this process of unity, the foundation of countless geniuses can be condensed into one and blessed on one person. This four-pronged approach, based on deduction, has the possibility of cultivating a saint."
"So, I am now a saint?" Du Xuan couldn't help it. He had fantasized about the pie falling from the sky countless times, but he never thought it would be such a big pie. Now, his resentment of being smashed to death by the triangular fragments has completely disappeared.
"In theory, yes!" At this point, the triangle fragment chuckled and said, "You have got a huge opportunity. But don't be too happy. You should know that the life and death book is divided into ten thousand pieces in our underworld lineage, which means you are just one in ten thousand.
Moreover, this plan has been taught by the second Buddhism and Taoism for a long time, so they also made similar plans according to the same method. Although the fragments of the life and death book in their hands are slightly smaller than ours, it is normal for each company to divide five or six thousand pieces. Therefore, you have more competitors!"
"I'm not afraid of this. Without competition, what's the point?" Du Xuan was just when his heart was full of energy. He didn't care about this. He immediately said, "Then now, can we start? Where should I go to perform the mission first?"
The Triangle Fragment has experienced dozens of masters, but none of them are like Du Xuan, so I couldn't help but be stunned. But soon he returned to his calmness and said with a smile, "Don't worry, listen to me for introduction to you. You must know that in your current situation, let alone where to perform the mission, a gust of wind can make you lose your soul!"
Now, Du Xuan thought of his state just now. He was depressed at first, but then said, "Didn't you say that you can only recognize the soul as the main focus? I guess this question is not a problem!"
"That is the main reason why our underworld lineage can only recognize the human souls. This is determined by the Queen Hutu and the Queen Nuwa." The Triangle Fragment immediately said, "There are no such regulations for the two lineages of Buddhism and Taoism. Most of them are assigned to outstanding disciples under their sects, and the innate starting point is much higher.
But you are right, those are not problems. After all, this plan is formulated by us and is the most complete, especially after so many years of continuous adjustments, it has long become a very strict system with almost no loopholes. Now, let’s do the first item first - recognize the master!"
"How do you recognize it?" Du Xuan said directly.
"You just need to silently recite in your heart and voluntarily give up the 5,600-year life span to make a contract with me!" The Triangle Fragment answered very directly and easily.
"Okay," Du Xuan nodded, but then he was shocked, "What did you say? Five thousand and six hundred years of life? You're kidding! Even if I don't get killed by you, I can only live a hundred years old at most. How can I have that many?"
"No joke, this is the benefit of the purebred human race I mentioned!" said the Triangle Fragment, "The purebred human race, created by Nuwa, contains the holy blood of Nuwa, and is born with 80,000 lives. Each has magical powers, carrying mountains and chasing the moon and picking stars with hands, are all casual. The ancestors of the human race are born strong, so they can surpass all races and become the overlord of heaven and earth.
The reason why it has not been completed now is that the bloodline has become thinner with generations. However, even if it is thin, it is still holy blood, and the nourishment of the soul is still there. Therefore, as long as it is a pure human race, the soul still has 80,000 lives. Only when the life span is over will it completely disappear and return to heaven and earth.
Why are the human races in charge of all the underworlds? It is not because the human souls are born with a lot of life spans. As long as you are willing to squander, you can’t get it under the principle of equivalents! After all, life span is the most important thing in the world, especially for monks. So, it is definitely a great luck to meet me. Because the underworld is the home court of the human race!”
"Since life span is so important, do you want more?" After hearing this, Du Xuan knew that his "wealth" was not small, but for him who had ambitious goals, he was unwilling to squander.
"There is no room for negotiation!" said the Triangle Fragment, "We are all controlled by the Queen Houtu. Queen Houtu is extremely fair and righteous, and is completely based on the principle of equivalence. The requirement of each basic fragment is a hundred years of life. The reason why I want so much is because I have merged fifty-five other fragments in the hands of the masters of all generations. Don't look at what you have paid more, but you actually get more!"
Du Xuan was silent for a moment, no longer saying anything, and immediately thought silently in his heart, giving up his five thousand and six hundred years of life, and letting the book of life and death recognize his master in fragments.
