Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 226: Heaven-sent Merit

Such a tumultuous event occurring in the Netherworld naturally attracted the attention of powerful beings from all realms.

Strong figures dwelling in the Netherworld quickly discovered that the source originated from the Blood Sea. Figures like the Ksitigarbha King, Yama, the King of Hell, other Netherworld kings, as well as the Abyss King, the King of Pain, and the King of Slaughter from the Asura Realm, all rushed to the Blood Sea.

What they then saw was a massive whirlpool of reincarnation swirling beside the Blood Sea, devouring the earthen forces converging from all directions, in its midst an ancient array plate remained unmovable amidst the boundless earthen forces.

Meanwhile, Tai Yi, Ancestor Ming He, Meng Po, and Sun Wukong, these four renowned Quasi-Saints from the three realms, were casting spells to alter all of this.

At that moment, Ancestor Ming He stood above the Blood Sea, his arms gently outstretched.

Suddenly, the Blood Sea surged ferociously, merging the countless forces of the Blood Sea with those malevolent spirits, resentful and murderous intents into ethereal spiritual entities, which in an instant formed countless blood-red figures, obscuring the void above the Blood Sea.

"Four hundred and eighty million Blood God children, using the path of Asura as the lead, can it shake the treasures of reincarnation?" Ancestor Ming He’s eyes blazed red as he exclaimed, "Today, the Netherworld Blood Sea connects to the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

Subsequently, countless Blood God children shrieked and charged into the whirlpool of reincarnation, entering the Asura path within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, attempting to shake the reincarnation wheel.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The massive whirlpool of reincarnation spun even more terrifyingly, shaking the entire Netherworld, causing all ghosts to wail.

The somewhat visible Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel, under the onslaught of countless Blood God children, finally began to tremble slightly, shaking the already stable Earth Path that was with it.

At the same time, the section representing the Asura Path emitted an even brighter dark red glow, and mysteriously, the Netherworld Blood Sea henceforth became connected with the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Meanwhile, the boundless earthen forces had gathered even stronger power, as if finding an outlet for release, and immediately surged crazily into the Six Paths Reincarnation Wheel.

[Congratulations, you have completed the suggestion—please involve Tai Yi to jointly replenish the Earth Path and receive a Tier-Six Treasure Chest]

[Congratulations, you have completed the suggestion—please involve Ancestor Ming He to jointly replenish the Earth Path and receive a Tier-Six Treasure Chest]

Without needing prompts from the advisory system, one could see the section representing the Earth Path on the Six Paths Reincarnation Wheel becoming more solidified, with the Earth Path consequently elevating.

"Hehe, it’s done!" Sun Wukong was extremely delighted.

Having planned for so long to replenish the Earth Path and the Human Path, the Earth Path was now the first to be enhanced, and the Human Path would benefit from this as well.

According to the explanations from wisdom netizens, due to the deficiency of the Earth Path, the roots and abilities of beings passing through the reincarnation after accessing the Myriad Spirits Scripture weaken progressively.

Once the Earth Path was enhanced, the roots of beings undergoing reincarnation would improve.

Meng Po, Tai Yi, and Ancestor Ming He all breathed a sigh of relief. Although their calculations had forecasted a high chance of enhancing the Earth Path, until the final moment, no one would know if it would actually be successful.

Moreover, what was more important, this success meant that there was hope for completely replenishing the Earth Path!

The three of them then turned to look at the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the Monkey King alongside them, both surprised and admiring.

It seemed Sun Wukong exerted the least effort, but in reality, his contribution was the greatest.

If it weren’t for his conception of this method and gathering them together to jointly cast spells, the Earth Path might not have had this opportunity for who knows how long, or it might never have changed at all.

Hum...

In that moment, it was as if heaven and earth also acknowledged their endeavors.

When the enhancement of the Six Paths Reincarnation Wheel this time ended, a delightful humming sound resonated across the realms, and the whole universe rejoiced.

There appeared a massive amount of brilliantly multicolored energy, like a starry nebula, descending with sacred radiance upon the lands of the Netherworld.

Meng Po, Tai Yi, and Ancestor Ming He, who were all powerful beings from ancient times, were all too familiar with this scene.

This was Heavenly Merit descending!

And they had all received it before. Although in quantity, these were less than what they had received in the past, in the current Three Realms, it was exceedingly rare.

In the distance, Ksitigarbha King, Yama, the King of Hell, and others, including Green Radiance Great Emperor Tai Yi and the Mountain God of the Eastern Peak, who had just arrived at the court of hell, witnessed this scene and were all shocked; many envied what they saw.

Soon, countless merits converged into clouds above the sea of blood and then split into four parts.

Four-tenths of it descended upon Sun Wukong, instantly transforming into a shining golden wheel of merit behind him.

The remaining six-tenths fell upon Meng Po, Zhen Yuanzi, and Ancestor Ming He, each receiving two-tenths.

It was clear at a glance who had contributed the most.

However, the following scene left everyone exchanging glances in surprise.

Wukong did not cherish the hard-earned golden wheel of merit; he took out his Ruyi Jingu Bang, and merged all the newly acquired merit into the divine weapon, enhancing its power even further.

Then, everyone realized that, being a Quasi-Saint who proved the Dao with laws, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven needed no merit to sustain him or to elevate his cultivation.

Afterward, under the watchful eyes of many, Meng Po cast another spell, dissipating the immense whirlpool of reincarnation and allowing the six paths’ reincarnation plate to vanish into nothingness.

Zhen Yuanzi also retracted his divine treasure, the Earth Placenta.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong looked at the many powerful beings who were drawn to the scene and said to Meng Po with a smile, "Grandmother, since everyone is here, why not discuss the upcoming matters now? It would save the trouble of inviting them over again later."

Meng Po, leaning on her cane and squinting her eyes, responded, "Indeed."

...

Meanwhile, as the six paths’ reincarnation plate became more solidified, a subtle change seemed to happen across the three realms.

Heavenly Court.

The Jade Emperor stood with his hands behind his back in Tongming Hall, his eyes swirling with galaxies, seemingly observing everything in the three realms.

At that moment, his majestic face revealed a slight smile.

Taibai Jinxing praised from the side, "Truly worthy of Sun Wukong. Completing such an almost impossible task has indeed been done by him!"

Following this event, the entire situation in the three realms was set to change.

The Jade Emperor then said solemnly, "It’s only a minor improvement, far from complete."

Taibai Jinxing quickly agreed, expressing his faith in Sun Wukong.

...

Mount Ling, the Great Temple of Thunderous Sounds.

The Buddha was still listening to Jia Ye speaking when he suddenly shifted his demeanor, his profound eyes flashing with golden light, as if he could see everything in the three realms.

"The earthly path of reincarnation has changed."

Jia Ye also sensed the subtle changes in the cosmos and his expression shifted immediately.

He understood what this meant; for the Buddha Sect, it was a message with both good and bad news.

The Buddha Sect wanted to spread Buddhist Law to the Eastern Land of the Southern Jambudvipa, not just because it was destined to promote Buddhism but also as a major pretext to use the collected human karma of the Eastern Land to strengthen the Luo Tian Seal.

Now that the earthly path had grown stronger, the seal at the entrance of the Heavenly Demon Realm would also become stronger, since the seal was composed of the power from the heaven, earth, and human paths. This made promoting Buddhism less urgent.

Heavenly Court could use this as a reason to temporarily restrain the Buddha Sect from spreading Buddhist Law to the east.

With this in mind, Jia Ye solemnly said, "Buddha, the human realm’s situation has been set. I request the decree to immediately support Wang Mang in establishing his nation to prevent the situation from changing."
