They're pushing their luck.
If this King of Judgment still doesn't know when to stop, then let's replace him with a ghost as King of the Underworld.
Lin Yi couldn't possibly confine himself to the underworld; he had many more things to do. At the same time, he was unwilling to reveal the Tai Su Refining Formation.
Even the Buddha said, "Scriptures should not be lightly transmitted, nor should they be obtained for nothing." This supreme Daoist method, which directly points to the Five Primordial Elements, is something Lin Yi would not agree to exchange even for the five volumes of the Heavenly Book from the world of Zhu Xian.
Five months later, Puzhi led eighteen monks, who looked as if they were cast in bronze, to Mount Kongsang. Upholding the fearless spirit of "If I don't go to hell, who will?", they entered the underworld and began to suppress the Heartless Sea that was gradually turning red.
The waves surged, their color like blood.
An endless stream of filth and sin accumulates and transforms here, perhaps giving birth to beings similar to the Blood River Daoist of the Seven Phoenix Realms in the future.
Eighteen monks formed the Arhat Subduing Demon Formation, their bodies radiating a continuous Buddhist light that transformed into a great cloud of light, floating above the Sea of Indifference.
The monks chanted scriptures together, their chanting resounding through the void. The blood-red waters of the Sea of Indifference slowly faded and became clear.
Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction and said to Puzhi beside him, "From now on, I will entrust the matter of the Underworld Sea to you masters."
Puzhi did not answer.
Lin Yi sensed something was wrong and turned around to see Puzhi's face contorted in a ferocious expression. On the jade prayer beads in his hand, there was a round bead that was neither jade nor stone, but a deep purple color and dull luster. At this moment, it was radiating a rich, blood-red light.

Chapter 113 The Immortal's Guidance
Upon seeing this situation, Lin Yi immediately realized that Master Puzhi had messed up.
The blood-red bead in Puzhi's hand, radiating a terrifying light, is actually the infamous "Blood-Devouring Bead."
This bead has an unknown origin but possesses a strange property: it craves the life essence of living beings. If any living creature approaches it, it will be devoured of its life essence and die within a short time by this "blood-devouring bead," leaving only a shell. It is truly an extremely terrifying and evil object.
Over a thousand years ago, this pearl was obtained by the Black-Hearted Elder of the Demonic Cult. Due to its ability to devour essence blood, the elder refined it into a magical treasure, which was invincible for a time, killing countless righteous people and gaining great fame. It later became one of the four treasures of the Demonic Cult.
After the wicked old man died, the pearl disappeared without a trace and its whereabouts remain unknown.
More than 20 years ago, Puzhi discovered this pearl by chance in the Western Great Swamp. At that time, within a radius of dozens of miles, there were piles of white bones and no living creatures. It was a scene of devastation and resentment.
Puzhi, moved by compassion, used Buddhist magic to subdue it. He then used Buddhist secret methods to subdue demons on it every day and night for more than 20 years without interruption.
At the same time, he also strung together the Buddhist treasure "jade prayer beads" to resist the bloodthirsty evil thoughts with its pure energy. Finally, he suppressed the evil spirit and tightly bound it in the beads, preventing it from seeing the light of day under layers of Buddhist power.
Unexpectedly, after arriving at the Bloodstained Sea of Mercy today, the Bloodthirsty Pearl took advantage of the terrain and launched another attack.
The eighteen bronze statues nearby noticed something was wrong and immediately showered Puzhi with layers of Buddhist light.
Puzhi's expression gradually changed from ferocious to peaceful, clearly indicating that he had gained the upper hand in the battle against the evil thoughts of the Bloodthirsty Bead.
Seeing this, Lin Yi's mind raced. He was somewhat interested in the Bloodthirsty Bead, this evil object. However, since they were all acquaintances and would continue to cooperate in the future, he felt embarrassed to make a move directly.
Now that the opportunity has arrived, should we seize it?
Well, there's a saying that goes something like this: "Treasures and rich resources belong to those with virtue."
Having found a reason for himself, Lin Yi pointed his fingers like a sword, and a sword aura flew out, directly striking the Bloodthirsty Bead.
The Bloodthirsty Bead was slashed away and fell into the Merciless Sea with a "plop".
Puzhi opened his eyes, opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he only said "Amitabha".
Lin Yi felt like he had bullied an honest person and felt quite embarrassed. He said, "I was presumptuous. Please forgive me, Master."
Puzhi shook his head and said, "Benefactor Lin was so eager to save people, how could this old monk blame you?"
After losing the Bloodthirsty Bead, he suddenly felt that the dark cloud that had been hanging over his heart had dissipated considerably.
As one of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple, Puzhi was revered throughout the world and enjoyed the highest honor. But for him, what was more important was to unravel the mystery of life and death and untie the knot of eternal life and death.
In the original course of events, in order to realize his idea of merging Buddhism and Taoism, Puzhi had Lin Yi successfully join the Qingyun Sect and slaughtered dozens of people in Caomiao Village.
It must be said that this has become a demonic thought, a demonic thought that keeps growing under the influence of the Bloodthirsty Bead.
Gain, lose, let go, find liberation.
Three circles of Buddha light appeared behind Puzhi's head, and within the Buddha light was a crystal heart lamp.
This is a Buddhist supernatural power, the Lapis Lazuli Heart Lamp Method. It can illuminate the inner mind with the pure fire of lapis lazuli, preventing external demons from invading.
Lin Yi said solemnly, "Congratulations, Master."
Puzhi clasped his hands together and said, "Severing afflictions leads to enlightenment; only today do I realize who I am."
Having said that, he rose into the air and walked towards the Arhat formation composed of eighteen bronze figures. With each step he took, a golden lotus flower bloomed.
This is the second Buddhist supernatural power that Puzhi comprehended: the power of lotus-born feet with every step.
The three circles of Buddha's light represent the three supernatural powers. What will be the third supernatural power that Puzhi comprehends?
Lin Yi shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about it.
………………
Half a month later, Lin Yi temporarily entrusted Baiyun City to Puzhi and others for care, and then left Kongsang Mountain.
This time, he plans to take on two apprentices to support his business in the future.
South of Qingyun Mountain lies Heyang City, and Shanhaiyuan.
