Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 72: Salvation of Wronged Souls!

This time, the Sage of Taiqing had Grand Master Xuandu bring Jiang Heng to Taiqing Realm, seemingly just briefly mentioning the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

But who is the Sage of Taiqing? When one reaches the level of a sage, every move he makes has profound meaning, so how could he make a move at will?

From the words of the Sage of Taiqing, Jiang Heng could easily tell that some of his secrets had already fallen into the Sage's eyes.

Putting aside everything else, the Supreme Saint of Taiqing probably already had some idea of ​​Houtu's current state, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned the Six Paths of Reincarnation to Jiang Heng.

What puzzled Jiang Heng was the attitude of the Taiqing Sage. As the head of the Six Sages, the Taiqing Sage was the most mysterious of all.

People often say that the sage Taiqing is tranquil and inactive, but Jiang Heng knows in his heart that there is no such thing as a being who is completely detached from emotions and desires.

The Sage of Taiqing is tranquil and inactive; however, his Daoist heart is already as still as a deep well, because ordinary things can hardly move him.

On the other hand, once the Supreme Sage sets his mind on something, it will inevitably be a momentous event.

"It seems there are some things that need to be done quickly!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

Not long after Jiang Heng returned to the human race, the disciples of the Western Sect, who had been silent for a long time, finally made a move again.

Upon receiving the message, Jiang Heng dared not delay and immediately set off towards the location of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The disciples of the Western Sect have been silent for so long, and now that they have made a move again, it is naturally not a rash action.

Jiang Heng quickly arrived in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and from the words of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, he soon learned about the specific movements of the Western Sect disciples.

Having learned from the previous two experiences, the disciples of the Western Sect were noticeably more cautious this time and did not enter the cycle of reincarnation at all.

But those Western disciples were not idle; they were performing tricks to convert wronged souls at the entrance to the cycle of reincarnation.

The followers of Western religion euphemistically call it a sign of Heaven's benevolence in cherishing life, as they cannot bear to see the wronged souls suffer the torments of the eighteen levels of hell.

Therefore, disciples of the Western religion, with a compassionate heart, silently recite the true scriptures outside the six realms of reincarnation, thereby washing away the endless sins of wronged souls.

You know what, the disciples of the Western Sect are indeed quite capable. Under their guidance, they have indeed helped many wronged souls wash away their sins.

Once the wronged souls have cleansed themselves of their sins, they no longer need to endure the torment of the eighteen levels of hell and can immediately reincarnate in the six realms of reincarnation.

This action not only alleviates the sins of the wronged souls, thereby reducing the malevolent energy in the world, but also lightens the burden of the six realms of reincarnation.

This is a great act of merit! Even if the Witch Clan dislikes the disciples of the Western Religion, they cannot stop them from doing this.

"Damn it! The disciples of the Western Sect chant scriptures at the entrance to the Six Paths of Reincarnation every day. It's so annoying!" said the Ancestral Witch Xuanming, looking displeased.

The wisest thing the Western religion did this time was not to truly enter the cycle of reincarnation, which left the witch clan powerless.

The first two times, the disciples of the Western Sect entered the cycle of reincarnation. This was the territory of the Witch Clan, so naturally everything was decided by the Witch Clan.

Even if it's white, they can turn it into black. Western disciples can only suffer in silence, unable to express their bitterness.

This is actually the same principle as when Lin Chong, the Leopard Head, broke into the White Tiger Hall at night. That's why the Western Sect disciples were completely under Jiang Heng's control the first two times.

But this time, the disciples of the Western Sect learned their lesson. They simply refused to enter the cycle of reincarnation and instead chanted scriptures. The Wu Clan couldn't interfere, could they?

That being said, the fact that the Western Sect disciples have been guiding wronged souls at the entrance to the Six Paths of Reincarnation is not a good thing for the Witch Clan.

Putting aside the fact that helping wronged souls is a good deed in itself, which is a meritorious act that benefits heaven and earth, one can still gain some merit.

Although the merit gained from converting a wronged soul is not much, over time, the accumulated merit can become quite considerable.

These merits originally belonged to the Wu clan, but now they have been earned by the disciples of the Western Religion. How could the Wu clan in the underworld be happy about this?

Moreover, if the disciples of the Western Sect continue to convert wronged souls at the entrance to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, over time, they may become too powerful to control.

When all the wronged souls are converted by the disciples of the Western Sect, the creatures in the primordial world will probably only know about the Western Sect and not about the existence of the Underworld.

However, if the witch clan in the underworld forcibly prevents the disciples of the Western Sect from saving the wronged souls, then the witch clan in the underworld will be in the wrong, giving the Western Sect an opportunity to take action.

Although the Underworld Witch Clan severely punished the Western Sect disciples in the previous two incidents, no one would believe that the Western Sect actually only had that much strength.

Moreover, it would be incredibly foolish for the Western Sect disciples to make a comeback without taking into account the strength of the Underworld Witch Clan.

"This time, the Western Sect disciples came prepared, so they are naturally not easy to deal with, but that's what makes it meaningful!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Tell me quickly, how do you plan to deal with those Western Sect disciples?" Xuanming Ancestral Witch asked expectantly.

"This matter is actually very simple, we just need to do this and that," Jiang Heng slowly explained his plan.

After talking for a while, Jiang Heng realized that the Xuanming Ancestral Witch still looked confused, so he slapped his forehead, speechless.

Jiang Heng realized he had been foolish; he had actually conspired with the Ancestral Witches. Wasn't that like casting pearls before swine? He was simply asking for trouble.

"Don't worry about so much, just do as I say, and you'll soon see interesting results!" Jiang Heng said.

Xuanming Ancestral Witch nodded as if waking from a dream. Trusting Jiang Heng, she didn't think too much and acted according to Jiang Heng's instructions.

"Let's see what methods the Western Sect has prepared this time!" Jiang Heng muttered to himself, gazing at the entrance to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

At this moment, at the entrance to the six cycles of reincarnation, a group of Western Buddhist disciples, led by Ksitigarbha, are continuously guiding wronged souls to salvation.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation was established relatively recently, while the number of wronged souls accumulated in the primordial world over countless long periods of time is innumerable.

Therefore, every moment, countless wronged souls are summoned by the Six Paths of Reincarnation and come to the entrance of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Normally, when these wronged souls arrive, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face of the Underworld will escort them into the Underworld.

However, now, before these wronged souls enter the cycle of reincarnation, they are first attracted by the chanting of scriptures by the disciples of the Western Sect.

The chanting of scriptures by the Western Sect disciples seems to have a mysterious attraction for wronged souls; countless wronged souls will unconsciously come to the side of the Western Sect disciples upon hearing the chanting.

As the Western Christian disciples continued chanting, a golden light slowly rose, enveloping the wronged souls within it.

Slowly, wisps of black smoke will rise from the wronged souls shrouded in golden light. This black smoke is the sins of the wronged souls, the source of their malevolent energy.

At such times, the wronged souls who have been cleansed of their sins will involuntarily kneel down and worship the disciples of the Western Sect.

"Brother Ksitigarbha, there are countless wronged souls here. If we can help these wronged souls for ten thousand years, we will surely reap a great deal of merit."

With the blessings of merit bestowed upon you, even the supreme enlightenment of Buddhahood is no longer a mere pipe dream!

One of the Western Religion disciples said with unusual excitement, which was also the common thought of all the Western Religion disciples at this moment.

Everyone knows that the benefits of the six realms of reincarnation are countless; otherwise, the Western religion would not have gone to such lengths to plan the six realms of reincarnation.

But these Western religion disciples never imagined that even without entering the cycle of reincarnation, they could gain so much merit simply by saving wronged souls.

The Western believers became extremely motivated as a result, chanting scriptures with great effort and constantly trying to save the wronged souls.

Because they have seen the benefits, many disciples of the Western Sect have begun to have higher expectations for the cycle of reincarnation.

If the Western Sect were to take control of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, what would become of them? Putting aside everything else, the boundless merit alone would probably be enough to greatly advance the cultivation of many Western Sect disciples.

Ksitigarbha did not go to deliver the wronged souls; his gaze remained fixed on the six realms of reincarnation, with a faint expectation in his eyes.

"How exactly will you handle this? I'm really looking forward to it!" Ksitigarbha muttered to himself.

Suddenly, the previously peaceful Six Paths of Reincarnation began to tremble, and a large group of ox-headed and horse-faced demons rushed out from within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The disciples of the Western Sect immediately became alert, no longer caring about converting any wronged souls, and all stood ready, waiting for the witch clan to make their move.

The disciples of the Western Sect have been training hard for this day. As long as the Witch Clan dares to make a move, they will immediately fall to the ground and not get up.

They even practiced the posture of lying down many times, so that they could make it perfectly lifelike and so that the witch clan would not notice anything unusual.

Yes! These disciples of the Western Sect never intended to fight to the death with the witch clan in the underworld; they were simply there to get beaten up.

Once this is done, the matter of the Underworld Witch Clan beating the Western Sect disciples without cause will also be settled, and then the initiative will fall into the hands of the Western Sect.

"Ouch! I'm badly injured!"

They watched as the group of bull-headed and horse-faced demons charged out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation with overwhelming force, getting closer and closer to the disciples of the Western Sect.

One of the Western Sect disciples was perhaps too nervous, because he actually fell to the ground and began to wail.

Although the other Western Sect disciples despised this Western Sect disciple, they secretly prepared themselves to fall to the ground as soon as the Witch Clan made their move.

But the next moment, all the disciples of the Western Sect were dumbfounded! That group of menacing ox-headed and horse-faced demons actually bypassed them and went straight for the wronged soul.

The Western followers were filled with confusion. Weren't they supposed to be fighting? Why were these witches ignoring them?

Even Ksitigarbha was completely bewildered. He had considered many possibilities, but he couldn't guess what the Witch Clan was up to.

The group of ox-headed and horse-faced demons approached the wronged souls, skillfully taking out their soul-summoning banners and mourning sticks, and capturing each wronged soul in their hands.

"What are you trying to do?" A disciple of the Western Sect could no longer contain himself and asked.
