Chapter 561: Chapter 363 Test Results
Emperor Fengdu and she are both Underworld Saints, both originating from Pangu Hall, thus Lady Ping Xin naturally places great trust in him.
In the eyes of Lady Ping Xin, the spirits of the few souls captured by Jieyin Saint are not highly cultivated, and they come from all kinds of races.
Indeed, after all, Jieyin Saint himself has said that Buddhist disciples are of dull aptitude, otherwise, he would not have thought of using reincarnation to enhance his accumulation.
At the same time, the Book of Life and Death appears in Lady Ping Xin’s hands, and the information about these few souls floods into her mind.
Jieyin Saint, seeing Lady Ping Xin’s actions, is anxious in his heart, yet he does not speak but quietly waits.
According to the information known by Lady Ping Xin, the souls captured by Jieyin Saint indeed come from the Western Primordial and have indeed reached the end of their lives, facing death.
Subsequently, the Book of Life and Death disappears into Lady Ping Xin’s hands, and she waves her hand casually; the Power of Six Paths Reincarnation surges continuously on the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.
Six paths of reincarnation are opened on the plate: Heavenly Dao, Human Path, Beast Path, Hell Path, Hunger Ghost Path, Asura Path.
Under the pull of the Power of Six Paths Reincarnation, these souls are drawn and hover above the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, seemingly about to enter one of those six paths at any moment.
Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint look at those few souls while continuously deducing in their hearts.
They constantly calculate the merit contained within these souls, as according to Emperor Fengdu’s suggestion, they need to always pay attention to the changes in merit.
At this moment, Lady Ping Xin looks at Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint and speaks.
“Jieyin Daoist, Zhunti Daoist, I have adjusted the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, it will not wear down the memories within their souls.”
“However, if they wish to retain complete memories, they need to offset it with merit to eliminate their karmic obstacles.”
“If the merit is sufficient to offset the karmic obstacles, there is a great possibility to carry their own spirituality and memories through reincarnation.”
“If the merit is not enough to offset the karmic obstacles, their own memories and spirituality cannot be retained.”
“In such cases, the dissipation of merit results in loss.”
“Jieyin Daoist, Zhunti Daoist, do you wish to continue in this manner?”
Listening to Lady Ping Xin’s words, Zhunti Saint raises a question.
“If the merit is sufficient to cover karmic obstacles, even with some remaining merit, what should be done with this portion of merit?”
“It should naturally follow their souls through the cycle of reincarnation.”
Lady Ping Xin says expressionlessly.
Zhunti Saint nods his head and does not speak further.
Jieyin Saint looks at Lady Ping Xin and poses another question.
“I dare to ask Lady Ping Xin, can you accurately determine whether the merit of these few beings is sufficient to offset their karmic obstacles?”
“Pitiful creatures, if this is possible, it can reduce unnecessary loss of merit.”
“Alas, it’s not easy for them to accumulate merit.”
Jieyin Saint shows a compassionate expression, truly befitting of a ‘Saint’.
Lady Ping Xin still expressionless, looks at Jieyin Saint and says, “I indeed can do so, and doing so for these few souls is just a trivial loss.”
Hearing this, Jieyin Saint’s expression brightens, and he immediately says, “If that is the case, then I request Lady Ping Xin’s effort.”
As Lady Ping Xin hears Jieyin Saint’s words, her face reveals a sarcastic look, and she looks at Jieyin Saint saying,
“Why should I do this, just because this is what you, Jieyin Saint, have proposed?”
Upon hearing these words, Jieyin Saint is momentarily stunned, then without any hesitation he says,
“Lady Ping Xin, all beings suffer…”
Before Jieyin Saint could finish, Emperor Fengdu interrupts him, saying,
“No need to talk about the suffering of all beings anymore, the few souls here are all your Buddhist disciples.”
Jieyin Saint listens, falling silent.
Meanwhile, Zhunti Saint, with a mournful expression, says, “My Western World is poor, my Buddhist disciples…”
Before Zhunti Saint can finish his sentence, Emperor Fengdu interrupts him saying,
“Both of you are Heavenly Dao Saints, and Buddhism is indeed your foundation, a major religion in this era.”
“If even the disciples under the Saints feel distressed, then how should the common beings in the Primordial World manage?”
Hearing these words, even Zhunti Saint can no longer use the plight of Buddhist disciples as an excuse.
Emperor Fengdu is right; Buddhism is one of the major religions in the Primordial World, Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint can use the plight of Buddhist disciples, but they dare not use Buddhism itself to play the sympathy card.
That is their foundation, they cannot afford to belittle the basis of their own ascension to sainthood.
Thus, the best choice both Zhunti Saint and Jieyin Saint can make at this moment is to remain silent.
However, Emperor Fengdu does not intend to let Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint off the hook easily, he continues with a stern expression.
“What both of you are thinking, I understand—it’s nothing more than wanting Lady Ping Xin to exert effort, to preserve the essence of your Buddhism.”
“But why should my Earthly Hell’s Lady Ping Xin expend this effort?”
At this moment, Lady Ping Xin’s gaze also falls on Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint, filled with questioning.
Indeed, calculating the karmic obstacles these few souls need to endure is not difficult for Lady Ping Xin, only a trivial loss.
But according to Emperor Fengdu’s strategizing, when it comes to cooperation with Buddhism, will they still insist on asking Lady Ping Xin to do so?
