Chapter 86 Yuanshi: Oh no, we've fallen into their trap again.
The powerful beings felt a chill run down their spines. Many wanted to stop Styx from speaking, but fearing that Yuanshi had been reprimanded by the Dao Ancestor, they dared not speak out.
At this moment, Hongjun was also having a headache.
One or two people wanted to share the burdens of this saint, but in reality, what they were thinking about was not merit or good fortune.
He's already on the verge of merging with the Dao, yet Zixiao Palace is still restless. Alas—
He did not intend to bestow the remaining three Immortal Gathering Seals now. Without a doubt, those three Immortal Gathering Seals should belong to the great powers of the three types of immortals in the future. It concerns the Immortal Path and the Mysterious Sect. Given the current weight of the Mysterious Sect in the prehistoric world, this matter is not something he can decide with a single word.
The Primordial Heavenly Dao is watching.
"Why didn't I accept Styx as my disciple back then?" Hongjun already regretted it, but it was too late.
"I hereby inform the Dao Ancestor that I fully agree with the Dao Ancestor's correct decision."
"The Dao Ancestor is a sage, and he can know everything in the primordial world in a single thought. Naturally, he knows who is the most suitable person to take charge of the three immortal paths, but—" Styx stopped abruptly when he said this.
"Speak frankly," Hongjun said calmly, looking at the Styx River.
Hearing what Styx said made him feel much better.
When the Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, Zhunti, and Jieyin heard this, they were all shocked.
However, what follows is the key point.
Styx's schemes are about to begin again!
It's despicable that they habitually use these flattering tactics to deceive their teachers; they are truly treacherous.
"I wonder how they will scheme against us and the primordial world this time." Yuanshi felt utter contempt and disgust for the Styx's actions.
Hongjun, who had been listening to Yuanshi's thoughts, remained silent.
In comparison, Styx's words are more agreeable; this sage can know the cause and effect in an instant.
Deceived?
Even saints can be deceived?
Hongjun's trust in the Styx River was based on the fact that after repeatedly investigating the Styx River's inner thoughts and using the Heavenly Dao to deduce its nature, he found no problems. He could distinguish between loyalty and treachery.
As for the idea that even a sage could be deceived, once his disciple attains sainthood, he will realize how ridiculous this idea is.
To deceive Him in the present moment, one would need the cultivation of a Primordial Golden Immortal to merely obscure His detection as a saint. Moreover, one would also need to be able to deceive the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
The primordial world was created by Pangu, and many chaotic demon gods were also incorporated into it. The primordial heavenly way is the sum of the consciousness of the people in the primordial world. In the primordial world, if you want to deceive the heavenly way, let alone others, even Yang Mei cannot do it. The Styx River can deceive him.
Unless the Chaos Pearl is in Styx's hands, but that's impossible!
The Chaos Pearl is a supreme treasure of chaos. Hongjun, who possessed a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, knew all too well the value of a supreme treasure of chaos; it was definitely not something the Styx River could control.
Therefore, Styx was utterly loyal. As for why the Three Pure Ones were so hostile towards Styx, in Hongjun's view, it was nothing more than "fame and fortune".
"If this Immortal Gathering Seal were directly bestowed upon the person who will create three types of immortals in the future, and if someone were to obstruct or plot against him, the incident involving the head of the immortals would inevitably repeat itself. Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong has a magnanimous demeanor and possesses pure Yang energy. Dao Ancestor's choice of him as the head of the male immortals was truly the right one."
However, the situation in the prehistoric world changed later, and various forces intersected. If everyone could support Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong according to the Dao Ancestor's instructions, it would not be difficult to stabilize the prehistoric world. The difficulty lies in the fact that everyone has selfish desires, and selfish desires outweigh public good, so Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong cannot support the world alone.
The Dao Ancestor said that the three immortal paths are supreme and noble, and must be extremely important to the Xuanmen, the immortal path, and the primordial world. You should know that when the Dao Ancestor destroyed Rahu in the past, that demon swore that "when the Dao grows, the demon will disappear, and when the demon grows, the Dao will disappear." If the three immortal paths cause turmoil, damage the fortune of the Xuanmen, and the Demon Ancestor Rahu is resurrected, it would not be a blessing for the primordial world.
"It would be better to hide them in the primordial world, and wait for the three immortal paths to emerge. Then the three Immortal Gathering Seals will naturally return to their original owners." Styx looked at Hongjun and said eloquently.
"Good, good," Hongjun exclaimed upon hearing this.
Styx is right!
The reason why the Eastern King Duke was initially appointed as the head of the male immortals was because he was the embodiment of pure yang energy and was the most suitable person. In the end, the Eastern King Duke was impeached by the people, not because he was wrong, but because all the powerful beings secretly obstructed him. Otherwise, even if the situation in the prehistoric world changed too quickly, it would still be stable.
Of course, it was also because Dong Wanggong was incompetent and failed to seize the opportunity he gave him.
The Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, Taiyi, and others all had unpleasant, even extremely ugly, expressions.
This is like trying to sow discord between them and the Dao Ancestor.
Who are the people who are secretly obstructing things? Aren't they those who didn't support the Eastern King Duke but are now impeaching him?
Zhunti and Jieyin both breathed a sigh of relief. They had not been implicated in the previous impeachment of the Eastern King Duke, and the current sweeping attack from the Styx River would not affect them.
But before they could refute Styx's words, Hongjun spoke again.
"What Styx says is quite true. There are indeed people most suitable for creating these three immortal paths, and the great supernatural beings who can create these three immortal paths are all in Zixiao Palace today." Hongjun looked around and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, before the group of powerful beings could even process the enormous amount of information, Hongjun continued, "However, if I were to directly bestow the Gathering Immortal Seal upon you, you would inevitably repeat the mistakes of the Eastern King Duke. To protect you, let it be this way."
Once someone creates the three immortal paths and enhances the fortune of the Xuanmen (mystical sect), this Immortal Gathering Seal will naturally appear.
With a wave of his Daoist robe, Hongjun caused the three Juxian Seals, all of which were top-grade innate spiritual treasures, to disappear instantly.
The Three Pure Ones had already sensed something, especially Yuanshi. He had always paid attention to the movements of the Styx River and was skilled in scheming. At this moment, he felt that he had been tricked by the Styx River once again.
However, it's hard to pinpoint exactly where the Styx plotted against them, and even deducing the secrets of heaven remains shrouded in mystery.
"Teacher, is this fate?" Zhunti looked at Hongjun and asked in a sorrowful tone.
He had a premonition that those three supreme and noble immortal paths were probably none of their business. If that were the case, wouldn't they have missed a great opportunity to revitalize the West?
"No, the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Cycle is forty-nine. Where is there any such thing as destiny?" Hongjun shook his head.
In such matters, there is indeed only the most suitable, not the destined. Just as the Eastern King Duke was the most suitable leader of the immortals, but in the end, the one who ruled over all the immortals was not him.
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi immediately understood.
Yes, that's right, he was tricked by Styx again!
Yuanshi believed that if his guess was correct, the three types of immortals who created those immortals must have been one or two of the Three Pure Ones, or even all of them.
If the teacher had directly bestowed the Gathering Immortal Seals, the matter would have been settled. However, the fact that the three Gathering Immortal Seals have disappeared into the Heavenly Dao has given others the opportunity to compete for them! Especially Styx!
The other party has already created Earth Immortals and Ghost Immortals, so it's inevitable that they also know how to create other immortal paths!
