Chapter 227: The Obsession of Ksitigarbha
Many strong beings were attracted to the commotion by the bank of the Blood Sea, but in the end, Meng Po only kept those related to the underground paths, such as Green Radiance Great Emperor, Emperor Dongyue, Yama, the King of Hell, and the Underworld Sect Leader Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The others, still unable to calm their astonishment, left the Blood Sea one after another.
Allowing Ksitigarbha to participate in establishing the City God system was something Sun Wukong agreed with.
Because Hell is an indispensable part of the cycle of reincarnation, and the City God system, serving as a supplement and perfection of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, naturally involves Hell as well.
And since the idea of Ksitigarbha guarding Hell had the approval from the two Western Saints, he couldn’t be driven away, only brought into the fold.
This could also have a certain divisive effect on the Buddha Sect.
Because Ksitigarbha belonged to the Future Buddha’s lineage in the Buddha Sect, just like Maitreya Buddha, the Pharmacist Buddha, and Mahasthamaprapta, as disciples of the original Western religion.
In terms of status, his position in the Buddha Sect was even comparable to the Future Buddha’s, forming a lineage of his own.
Perhaps, this could even help spread the City God system to the West Niu Hezhou in the future.
Sun Wukong remembered a reward he had obtained a long time ago, which was Ksitigarbha’s obsession.
