Chapter 225: On the Shores of the Blood Sea
After Pan Gu split the heavens and the earth to stabilize the Vast Wilderness world, he chose to transform himself into the heavens and the earth, with every part of his body transforming into the myriad things of the world, such as his spine becoming Mount Buzhou which connects the heavens and the earth, and his navel turning into a vast sea of blood.
The Sea of Blood was boundless, with surging waves of blood. No fish thrived, nor did birds or insects approach. The world’s resentment, grudges, and evil qi, and other impurities mostly gathered here.
Since it was located in the gloomy nether regions, the Sea of Blood was also known as the Netherworld Blood Sea by the myriad races of the Vast Wilderness.
After Houtu transformed herself into reincarnation and opened up the netherworld underworld, the cycle of the six paths of reincarnation was located near the Sea of Blood.
At this time, Sun Wukong, together with Houtu’s incarnation, Meng Po, and Zhen Yuanzi, the three of them arrived at the banks of the Sea of Blood.
No sooner had they stopped than the Sea of Blood, with its rolling waves, churned up towering gigantic waves.
"What brings the three of you here?"
As a deep voice sounded, a blood-red lotus platform enshrouded in scarlet flames slowly rose from the huge waves. It was the Twelfth Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus.
Standing on the lotus platform was a long-bearded elder, wearing red and black robes that danced without any wind. Various types of resentment, grudges, and evil qi and other impurities coalesced into existence, forming bizarre and grotesque ethereal spirits that howled menacingly around him.
"Greetings to Daoist Minghe," Meng Po said, leaning on her cane as she bowed politely.
