Chapter 44: The Story of Ksitigarbha, Li Daoran's Worry

The reason why there are rumors is because they are spread by powerful forces like Tianji Tower, and that's how people come to know about it.

The reason why Li Daoran is so concerned about this matter is because both the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and the Heavenly Water Sect belong to the same domain.

In terms of geography, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect blocks most of the natural dangerous areas filled with demons and monsters, such as the Samsara Sea and the Demon Cloud Mountain, from the Heavenly Water Sect.

With the existence of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, the development of the Heavenly Water Sect has always been relatively stable.

But now, hearing that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's Great Buddha has been severely damaged, this is undoubtedly extremely bad news for the Heavenly Water Sect.

Seeing Li Daoran's surprise, Bai Yunzi couldn't help but sigh and nodded again.

"Yes, senior brother, I am very certain that this is true because not long ago, the Buddhist Gate announced the closure of their sect."

"The vast territory of tens of thousands of miles has now shrunk to a size of only millions of miles."

"Now, almost all the Buddhist Gate's Buddhas have retreated to the Small Pure Land."

"So far, the Buddhist Gate's influence that still exists in the Southern Domain is only limited to temples with Seven Realm Buddhas like the White Horse Temple and the Tian'en Temple."

"The rest have almost all been withdrawn."

Saying this, Bai Yunzi couldn't help but sigh again.

He also knew very well what kind of impact the severe damage to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's Buddha head, Fa Zang, would bring to the Heavenly Water Sect.

But what can they do about it?

The incident has already happened, and they have no choice but to accept the reality.

Then, Bai Yunzi continued to speak.

"Not only that, it is said that at that time, Emperor Song's strength was so strong that even the Supreme Sword Pavilion and the Martial Pavilions remained silent."

"Even the Fire Departing Venerable of the Taiyi Gate greeted him as an equal."

"This Emperor Song is probably truly becoming a giant of the Eight Realms, just as the rumors say."

"Now, with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect gone, there is only one Emperor Song left beside our Heavenly Water Sect."

"If we don't establish a good relationship with them, we will probably have endless troubles in the future."

After Bai Yunzi finished speaking, his face was filled with worry.

With the means of the Heavenly Water Sect, they couldn't compete with Emperor Song. This was almost a question that didn't need much thought.

But the problem lies in the fact that the Heavenly Water Sect has never had any dealings with Emperor Song.

If Emperor Song slightly restrains them during this period of time, the days of the Heavenly Water Sect will not be easy.

"Junior brother, let me think about it."

Listening to Bai Yunzi's words, Li Daoran's face gradually became serious.

As Bai Yunzi said, if the Heavenly Water Sect wants to develop, they must pass this hurdle of Emperor Song.

But, as the saying goes.

The Heavenly Water Sect and Emperor Song have never had any relationship.

To obtain a peace agreement from the other party, it is probably not an easy task.

"By the way, junior brother, have you found out about the changes in the positions of the Hall of Rebirth? Is this Ksitigarbha person really there?" Li Daoran asked again.

Since he couldn't make any progress with Emperor Song, he planned to change his approach.

And this approach was the Ksitigarbha that he heard about some time ago.

Bai Yunzi cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, I have also investigated this matter to a great extent."

"Although I am not sure why the Hall of Rebirth decided to reinstate the position of Ksitigarbha."

"But what I can confirm now is that the new Ksitigarbha has indeed taken up the position."

"And from now on, 'He' will take charge of the Nether Sea, replacing the City God."

"Ksitigarbha will take charge of the Nether Sea?"

Upon hearing Bai Yunzi's words, Li Daoran was momentarily stunned.

The Nether Sea does not refer to a single sea, but rather a large area.

In this region, the scope is very large.

For example, the Heavenly Water Sect's Heavenly Water Domain is essentially one of the Underworld Seas!

The person in charge of the Hall of Rebirth, who governs the Underworld Sea, is like the uncrowned king of the underground forces in this region!

In the past, the uncrowned king of this region was the City God, but now it has been replaced by Ksitigarbha.

In other words, from now on, the uncrowned king of this region will become Ksitigarbha!

This is not good news.

After all, they know nothing about this Ksitigarbha!

"Yes, senior brother," Bai Yunzi nodded and continued, "According to reliable information, the former City God, who was in charge of the Underworld Domain, has withdrawn from his layout in the Underworld Sea and is only waiting for the new Ksitigarbha to arrive to complete the handover."

"However, I don't know why this Ksitigarbha didn't complete the handover immediately after taking office."

So that's how it is?

Li Daoran fell into contemplation. If what Bai Yunzi said is true, then the breakthrough point for the Heavenly Water Sect will undoubtedly become this Ksitigarbha.

"Junior brother, do you have any information about the identity or preferences of this Ksitigarbha?"

"I'm sorry, senior brother, I don't."

Bai Yunzi shook his head. If he had information about Ksitigarbha, he wouldn't be smiling bitterly the whole time.

"None?"

Seeing Bai Yunzi shake his head, Li Daoran instantly understood his situation and couldn't help but mutter.

This is really not good news.

According to the information he received, Ksitigarbha joined the Hall of Rebirth three years ago and started as a peripheral member.

Then, in just two short years, he became a Soul Reaper.

And in the selection activity for Ksitigarbha, he came out on top.

Finally, he was appointed as Ksitigarbha by Emperor Song.

Li Daoran didn't know the specific assessment of Ksitigarbha by the Hall of Rebirth, but the fact that he could stand out from the thousands of underworlds alone is enough to prove that this Ksitigarbha is extraordinary.

If the Heavenly Water Sect wants to gain favor under this person in the future, it may not be an easy task.

"Ah~!"

Thinking of this, Li Daoran couldn't help but sigh.

He really is confused about the future of the Heavenly Water Sect.

After sighing, Li Daoran seemed to remember something and asked Bai Yunzi again.

"Oh, by the way, senior brother, any news from our master?"

"No, senior brother." Bai Yunzi shook his head.

"I tried to contact our master several times, but there was no response each time."

"The only good news is that our master's soul lamp is still lit."

"Well, junior brother, you can go down first. Once there is news from our master, be sure to notify me first."

Li Daoran said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, senior brother." Bai Yunzi clasped his hands.

Then he said, "Senior brother, if there's nothing else, I'll go down first."

"I have to preside over the introductory training for the disciples soon. The disciples from various peaks should be arriving soon."

"Well, thank you, junior brother."

Li Daoran nodded.

Compared to worrying about those unknown things, it is more important to deal with the present matters.

The introductory training for the newly recruited disciples is of utmost importance to the sect's cultivation of new talented disciples and cannot be delayed.
