Chapter 41 Lao Tzu: Fellow Daoist Styx, excellent methods. I will remember this grudge (2)
After all, it seems that Styx is plotting against the Three Pure Ones, and the Three Pure Ones are also at odds with him. In this battle, Styx is likely to suffer a great defeat.
Even if he has 480 million Blood God Children, making it difficult to eliminate him in a short time, when his body is destroyed, his many spiritual treasures and Primordial Purple Qi will inevitably be exposed to the sight of the powerful beings.
Thinking of this, even people like Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were not lacking in spiritual treasures, were tempted.
After all, Styx possessed more than just one or two top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
Kunpeng's eyes were bloodshot, and black smoke billowed above his Dharma Eyes. Now, he no longer cared about Dao Ancestors or Saints. He was also a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Styx was also a Great Luo Golden Immortal. As Great Luo Golden Immortals, how much more powerful could Styx be than him?
Can Styx kill one of them now and become a quasi-saint?
Even if he could, could he survive the combined attack of Laozi and Tongtian?
Moreover, Kunpeng was no longer content with simply watching and then waiting for an opportunity to act. He was now going to take revenge for the loss of the merit and opportunity to create characters!
If we don't report it now, once Styx uses a supreme innate treasure like the Qiankun Cauldron to sever the corpse, there will be no more chances!
After all, no matter how much the Dao Ancestor favored Styx, a dead person could not continue to receive the favor of a saint. Besides, Styx was not the Dao Ancestor's disciple, was he?
Do not make mistakes.
Joining Laozi and Tongtian in attacking the Styx River will give us more confidence when it comes time to divide the spoils.
Meanwhile, the Styx River on the other side was immersed in excitement.
The newly acquired innate treasure and top-grade innate spiritual treasure were secondary; as for the Primordial Purple Qi, he didn't even consider it a threat.
Most importantly, this treasure acquisition at Zixiao Palace actually triggered a system reward!
[Congratulations, host! Through your actions in Zixiao Palace, you have weakened Yuanshi to some extent, avenging the collapse of the Jie Sect during the Investiture of the Gods. Furthermore, you have obtained the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure powerful enough to suppress the fortunes of major sects. Moreover, the Dao Ancestor's favor towards you has greatly increased.]
[Main Quest 2 completion rate slightly improved.]
Side quest completion rate slightly improved.
[You are now rewarded with: Silver Moon Disc (Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure), Qiankun Dao (Inheritance of the Qiankun Ancestor)]
"The Great Dao of Qiankun Ancestor—that works too." Although this person perished in the war between Dao and Demon, it is not shameful to lose to Luo. In that era, anyone qualified to stand before Luo was the pinnacle of the primordial world.
As soon as Styx left Zixiao Palace, he heard someone call out from behind:
"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
Styx turned around with some confusion.
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun's holy eyes swept over the various scenes outside Zixiao Palace, and his brows furrowed.
He had already made his point clear in many previous statements and expressed his support for the Styx River, yet some people still wanted to take action.
What does this mean?
Is this an expression of dissatisfaction with him, the sage? In other places, this sage wouldn't bother with it and would let them fight it out. Styx is a Primordial Golden Immortal, and he is definitely not someone that a bunch of "rabble" can defeat just because they have more people and more strength.
But was the act of taking action right outside the gates of Zixiao Palace meant to be a show for the Sage?
Is this an attempt to attack the Styx River, or an opportunity to establish authority, to humiliate Hongjun, and make him lose face?
We must tell all living beings in the primordial world: those who obey him prosper, and those who defy him perish.
"The Heavenly Dao merits on the Three Pure Ones must be consumed, otherwise the consequences will be endless," Hongjun thought to himself.
"Haotian," Hongjun called softly.
"Master." Upon hearing this, Haotian quickly came to Hongjun's side and respectfully greeted him.
"In a moment, outside Zixiao Palace, someone will try to attack the Styx River. Go and convey my decree to stop this fight," Hongjun said to Haotian.
"Yes, Master." Haotian was unaware of the situation and simply followed the decree. At the same time, he was also worried. Was someone going to attack Fellow Daoist Styx?
Thinking of the lotus seed of the twelfth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus that Fellow Daoist Styx had given him, Haotian fell into deep thought.
Why are we besieging Fellow Daoist Styx?
"Wait." Hongjun summoned Haotian, who was about to leave.
"Master, is there anything else you need?" Haotian hurriedly turned back and looked at Hongjun.
"Wait a moment, and wait until those people have suffered a bit before you stop the fight." Hongjun waved his robe, sending out two lotus platforms.
Both lotus pedestals have twenty-one flowers and sixty-three petals, representing the seventh grade. The lotus pedestals are surrounded by karmic fire, and amidst the crimson, there is a faint golden light of merit, giving people an ultimate and enchanting beauty.
"These are—those two lotus seeds?" Haotian was overjoyed upon seeing them.
These two lotus platforms were cultivated from the seeds of the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. Originally, they should have been sixth-grade lotus platforms, but with the merits bestowed by the Styx River and the cultivation by Hongjun using the methods of a sage, they were transformed into two seventh-grade lotus platforms. They are both offensive and defensive, and are among the top-tier acquired spiritual treasures.
"Thank you, sir." Haotian was overjoyed upon seeing this.
"Yes, go ahead." Hongjun nodded, then continued to close his eyes and comprehend the Heavenly Dao. Within the Heavenly Secrets, there are great opportunities and great fortunes. Moreover, because of the Styx River, Hongjun's progress in gathering fortune is much faster than before, and his progress in merging with the Dao has also increased considerably.
Of course, one can only achieve Dao integration after three lectures at Zixiao Palace, but this time, the gathered fortune is greater and naturally easier.
"Yes, sir."
"It's Fellow Daoist Laozi. What brings you here?" Styx looked at Laozi and Tongtian, who had blocked his way, and asked with a smile.
"Styx, don't be foolish. I had no intention of being your enemy, but you used this treacherous scheme to plot against my second brother. This matter must be resolved in a decisive battle." Tongtian's palm transformed a gentle breeze into a three-foot-long blade of grass, its sword energy dispersing the surrounding boundless, chaotic earth, water, and wind.
The fire points directly at the River Styx.
"Me, plotting against Fellow Daoist Yuanshi? What makes you say that?" Styx looked innocently at Laozi and Tongtian in front of him. Yuanshi, who was secretly watching this scene, felt a surge of anger rising in his heart again.
This kind of treacherous ruler truly has the potential to wreak havoc on the land.
and·.-
Yuanshi believed that the harm caused by the Styx River was even greater than that caused by Luo. If Luo were to be resurrected today, all that awaited him would be the siege of the prehistoric world. In the end, Luo would perish with the combined efforts of all the spirits of the prehistoric world.
In other words, no matter how powerful Luo is, the destruction he caused to the prehistoric world, as seen in the scene in the West during the last great calamity, was his peak. Even if he were to revive in the future, it would be difficult for Luo to have such a good opportunity again, with so many demonic offspring serving him under his demonic influence and stirring up the prehistoric world for him. Under the curse of karma, it would be difficult for him to gather his fortune again, and it would be difficult for his cultivation to return to its peak.
But Styx is different. He knows how to disguise himself, is better at leveraging power than Luo, and knows how to accumulate merit and good fortune. If we don't get rid of such a person, aren't we just waiting for a small harm to turn into a big one?
