CHAPTER 566: CHAPTER 365: COOPERATION ACHIEVED, HEAVENLY DAO CONTRACT_2

They place great importance on Merit. If those Merit-bearing disciples lose their past life’s memories and become disciples of Buddhism, it will be a significant loss.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Plate is in the hands of Lady Ping Xin, and it is indeed very easy for the two Saints of the Earthly Hell to achieve this.

Although the capacities and cultivation levels of the reincarnating lives are low, they form the largest group within Buddhism.

Just think, if this group were truly lost, Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint would feel a great sense of loss.

Especially with the pressing need for Merit as they sense the Primordial Heavenly Dao catching up behind them, they feel an urgent need for Merit.

Jieyin Saint looked at Emperor Fengdu, who appeared calm, and sighed softly.

"Sigh."

"Daoist Feng Du, the three parts of Merit from those Buddhist disciples will be entrusted to you two, with hopes for a lasting cooperation between Buddhism and the Netherworld."

Jieyin Saint was also quite helpless at this moment; under these circumstances, he had no choice but to agree.

If he and his brother had not come to the Earthly Hell and had not explained the matter.

Normally, Buddhist disciples reincarnate, and a portion would reincarnate into the Western Primordial and re-enter Buddhism.

However, once the matter is clarified, and the cooperation between Buddhism and Earthly Hell is not achieved, then perhaps those lives that would have reincarnated into Buddhism may reincarnate elsewhere.

Under these conditions, does Jieyin Saint still have room to refuse?

"This undertaking is thanks to the efforts of Lady Ping Xin, so naturally, the Merit belongs to Lady Ping Xin,"

Emperor Fengdu said.

He does not control the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate; thus, he has no need to work for it and naturally cannot claim any of the Merit.

As an Underworld Saint, it is only natural for him to stand united with Lady Ping Xin.

Hearing Emperor Fengdu’s words, the previously silent Lady Ping Xin suddenly spoke: "This matter was single-handedly facilitated by Daoist Feng Du, so naturally he should reap some benefit."

"Of this three parts of Merit, Daoist Feng Du should have one-tenth, I should have one-tenth, and the remaining one-tenth should be split in half."

"One part goes to the Netherworld, and the other part to the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate."

"With this arrangement, does Daoist Feng Du have any objections?"

Lady Ping Xin looked at Emperor Fengdu and asked.

Emperor Fengdu didn’t refuse the good intentions of Lady Ping Xin any longer; he shook his head slightly, indicating he had no objections.

Seeing this, Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint looked displeased, their eyes lowered, feeling uneasy within.

These were their Buddhist disciples’ three parts of Merit, being divided right in front of them.

They dared not voice any objections, for once the Buddhist disciples enter the Netherworld and reincarnate, the three parts of their Merit no longer belonged to them.

Of course, if the Buddhist disciples retain their memories and reincarnate back into Buddhism, then Lady Ping Xin naturally wouldn’t collect this Merit.

Of course, if the reincarnating beings themselves are unwilling, neither Lady Ping Xin nor Emperor Fengdu can claim their Merit.

Merit requires that the beings willingly contribute their own Merit before it can be collected.

Otherwise, even Saints cannot alter it at will.

As for how to make Buddhist disciples willingly contribute their own Merit, Lady Ping Xin and Emperor Fengdu are not concerned.

That is Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint’s matter; they just need to do their part according to the terms of cooperation between the two sides.

Jieyin Saint had realized this as well, so he looked at Lady Ping Xin and said, "I wonder how Daoist Ping Xin plans to establish a Heavenly Dao Contract with our Buddhist disciples, to ensure mutual rights and responsibilities?"

Hearing Jieyin Saint’s words, both Emperor Fengdu and Lady Ping Xin understood that to secure this three parts of Merit, establishing a Heavenly Dao Contract was the best approach.

After all, the true nature of beings can change at any time - for instance, they may think one way while living within Buddhism, but have another mindset after dying and entering Earthly Hell.

Herein lies the role of the Heavenly Dao Contract.

Of course, all this is predicated on Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint being able to persuade Buddhist disciples to sign this Heavenly Dao Contract.

Emperor Fengdu did not speak on the matter but waited for Lady Ping Xin to make a decision.

Six Paths of Reincarnation, the core of the Netherworld, is in the hands of Lady Ping Xin.

Not only is Emperor Fengdu waiting, but also Daoist Jie Yin and Daoist Zhun Ti are awaiting.

On this matter, Daoist Jie Yin and Daoist Zhun Ti harbored no other thoughts.

Since the conditions for collaboration had been met, they would naturally not breed any more trouble, after all, they were very clear that the initiative for cooperation had always been in the hands of the two Saints of the Earthly Hell.

Thus, they doubted that the guidance of the Pangu God was directed at the Netherworld, rather than pointing the way forward for Buddhism.

Lady Ping Xin pondered for a long while before finally speaking: "Please wait a moment, the two fellow Daoists."

She did not look to see any reaction from Daoist Jie Yin and Daoist Zhun Ti, her gaze instead falling upon the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate beneath her feet.

The two Saints of the Earthly Hell had given her the confidence to somewhat ignore the two Saints of Buddhism to a certain extent.

With a thought from Lady Ping Xin, the boundless Power of Six Paths Reincarnation detached from the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate and surged upwards to coalesce.

For a moment, Emperor Fengdu and both Saints, Daoist Jie Yin and Daoist Zhun Ti, raised their heads to gaze upon the swirling, condensing Power of Six Paths Reincarnation above.

The Power of Six Paths Reincarnation, constantly churning above, underwent changes following the intentions of Lady Ping Xin.

After a while, the Power of Six Paths Reincarnation kept condensing and gradually formed an entity composed of such power.

This entity was an exact replica of the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate beneath their feet.

However, compared to the real Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, this ’Six Paths Reincarnation Plate’ seemed illusory, even though it had acquired form.

Moreover, in terms of aura, it was not as pure and concentrated as the real Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.

At this moment, Lady Ping Xin looked up to see the ’Six Paths Reincarnation Plate’ floating in the air, her fair hand waving gently.

Six different paths of reincarnation on the real Six Paths Reincarnation Plate each emitted an aura, drifting towards the false ’Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.’

Instantly, this ’Six Paths Reincarnation Plate’ became more realistic, its aura purer.

Of course, it was merely formed from the Power of Six Paths Reincarnation and naturally could not be confused with the real thing.

Seeing that this ’Six Paths Reincarnation Plate’ had taken shape, Lady Ping Xin could not help but nod in satisfaction.

Then she did not pause; her Primordial Spirit communicated instantly with the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

Suddenly, the majestic pressure of the Heavenly Dao emerged, albeit faintly and covertly, imperceptible to non-Saints.

Under the testimony of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, golden Heavenly Dao Text emerged above the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.

This was precisely the content of the Heavenly Dao Contract for cooperation between Buddhism and the Netherworld, with both Emperor Fengdu and the two Western Saints staring intently at the golden Heavenly Dao Text.

"Daoist Jie Yin, Daoist Zhun Ti, is there anything amiss with the Heavenly Dao Contract?"

Lady Ping Xin inquired.

"There is nothing amiss."

The voice of Daoist Jie Yin resonated.

Lady Ping Xin nodded, with a wave of her sleeve, the golden Heavenly Dao Text swirled into the illusory ’Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.’

With the disappearance of the Heavenly Dao Text, Lady Ping Xin willed it, and the ’Six Paths Reincarnation Plate’ moved in front of Daoist Jie Yin and Daoist Zhun Ti.

"The two fellow Daoists, this item serves as a token, it contains the Heavenly Dao Contract within."

"If your Buddhist disciples truly wish to contribute thirty percent of their Merit to protect the memory of their Reincarnation, they may sign the Heavenly Dao Contract with this item."

"Once the Heavenly Dao Contract is signed, those Buddhist disciples will bear this item’s mark, and when their time comes, I will naturally make the corresponding arrangements."

Lady Ping Xin spoke in an unhurried tone.

"Besides, this item is just as authentic, taking a trace of the Power of Six Paths Reincarnation from it, one can summon its projection, which has the same effect."

"Please pay attention to its use, Daoist Jie Yin and Daoist Zhun Ti. If the Power of Six Paths Reincarnation is depleted, you may come here to find me."

While Lady Ping Xin spoke, Daoist Jie Yin’s gaze had already settled on this ’Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.’
