"Fellow Daoist, this treasure has the power to return the acquired to the innate, and to nurture innate spiritual treasures to a higher level. It is a creation of nature. It was specially selected by the Master to reward you for your contribution to educating the beings of the primordial world."
"Fellow Daoist is the Primordial Ancestor of Literature, please do not refuse." Yaochi, standing to the side, also looked at Styx and advised him not to refuse.
"In that case, I thank you for your kindness, Dao Ancestor."
"My two fellow Daoists have worked hard. I will always remember your kindness. Our friendship will last forever." Styx looked at Haotian and Yaochi before him, accepted the three spiritual treasures, and said with a smile.
"Master is still waiting for us to return and report. Fellow Daoist Styx, farewell." Haotian, Yaochi, and Styx exchanged greetings.
The two then turned and headed towards the primordial chaos beyond the heavens, departing together.
"This is truly an unexpected delight," Styx thought to himself, then looked at the innate treasure gourd that had landed in his hand.
After checking it over, I was pleasantly surprised again.
Compared to the immature gourd of that time, this gourd is now fully mature. Originally, it should be called "Haotian Gourd", but now it should be called "Styx Gourd".
This gourd has the ability to nurture spiritual treasures. This effect can occur regardless of whether it is refined or not. Styx is not proficient in refining weapons and does not have any particularly good acquired spiritual treasures to nurture. Therefore, Styx put his companion spiritual treasures, the Yuan Tu and the A Bi swords, into the Styx gourd to nurture them.
Both swords are top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Putting them into the Styx Gourd would only enhance their power to a limited extent. However, as companion spiritual treasures closely connected to oneself, it would be good to have an extra edge.
Immediately, Styx took the gourd containing the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords into his primordial spirit and began to refine it.
At that moment, Styx suddenly realized that the surroundings were a little too quiet.
When he turned his head, he found that all the powerful figures present were looking at him with strange eyes, whether it was Fuxi,
Nuwa, or Dijun, Taiyi, or perhaps another race's representative.
The reason is simple: wasn't the reward Styx received a bit too generous this time?
Especially that treasure gourd, which can reverse the acquired to the innate. Just for this one ability, if this spiritual treasure had not been bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, countless powerful figures present would have tried to kill and seize it. Even though Styx was terrifyingly strong, he might have been killed in return.
There's no other reason than that this magical treasure is too precious, so precious that it can cloud the judgment of many people.
Nuwa looked at the Styx River, which had taken the three precious innate spiritual treasures into its pouch, and then at Wu Tian and Yaochi, who were heading into the distance. She was speechless for a moment.
Last time she sensed an opportunity and obtained a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but compared to the Styx River, the treasure gourd in her hand suddenly seemed less appealing.
"Elder brother, this—" Taiyi looked at Dijun, unable to discern for a moment whether the Dao Ancestor was rewarding Styx for creating characters, or simply that Styx's flattery had worked.
If a few flattering words could yield a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, then they really should investigate this carefully.
"Congratulations, Immortal Styx!" Ao Ping was the first to speak, offering his congratulations to Styx.
Ao Ping was not envious of the fact that Styx had received the spiritual treasure bestowed by Hongjun. No matter how powerful Styx was, he could not surpass the Ancestral Dragon of the previous great eon. For the current dragon race, spiritual treasures were all meaningless; only the survival of the race mattered.
Moreover, the fact that the Dao Ancestor bestowed spiritual treasures suggests that the Dao Ancestor had been watching this place and observing their actions all along.
If so, then wouldn't the first batch of dragons who responded to Styx's call also have the opportunity to "Congratulate Fellow Daoist Styx"? The powerful figures present were certainly envious and jealous, but now that things had come to this, they could only congratulate Styx.
At this moment, Kunpeng's silence was deafening.
For him, the best option would be to congratulate Styx, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Kunpeng himself is not weak. He cultivates both the Great Dao of Wind and Water. Among the three thousand guests of Zixiao, apart from a few, almost no one can defeat him without using spiritual treasures.
But spiritual treasures are also a part of strength.
This was not the first time Kunpeng had his opportunities taken away. Before this, his prayer mat was snatched away by Zhunti and Jieyin in Zixiao Palace.
This was a heavy blow to the proud Kunpeng. Kunpeng hated Zhunti and Jieyin for their forceful seizures, hated Yuanshi for his biased actions, hated the meddlesome Hongyun, and also hated himself for never having the chance to obtain a spiritual treasure.
If he had a protective magic treasure, he wouldn't have been so easily ambushed by Zhunti and Jieyin.
Later, here, he watched as Styx stole the merit of creating characters that should have belonged to him, and watched as Styx received three spiritual treasures bestowed by the Dao Ancestor because of the merit of creating characters: one top-grade innate spiritual treasure and two high-grade innate spiritual treasures.
If these three magical treasures, and even the merit of creating the characters, were all his, he couldn't imagine how happy he would be. But now, everything that originally belonged to him is gone, taken away.
Seeing Styx completely disregard the three precious innate spiritual treasures that were enough to shake the primordial world, and was currently chatting and laughing with a group of powerful beings, Kunpeng's heart was filled with jealousy and hatred.
Why?
Do you, Styx, lack this little bit of merit? Do you lack these two spiritual treasures?
Thinking of the two top-grade innate spiritual treasures of the killing path that Styx had casually stuffed into his gourd to nurture, Kunpeng's heart ached even more.
You're enjoying the finest delicacies, but why did you have to take away those two steamed buns that rightfully belonged to him?
There's no way around it; that's just how Kunpeng is. Just like in the Zixiao Palace, after discovering that the futon contained the opportunity to become a saint, he didn't dare to seek help from Zhunti or Jieyin, but instead hated Hongyun.
At this moment, he also came to hate the River Styx.
"Should we make a move? Find an opportunity—" Kunpeng looked at Styx's figure, his heart surging with killing intent, but soon he gave up the idea.
No, no, Styx possesses far too many powerful innate spiritual treasures, making him more difficult to deal with than Zhunti or Jieyin. Even if I were to sacrifice my life, I probably wouldn't even be able to severely injure him. Moreover, he has 480 million Blood God Children—
But if he waited any longer, until he had fully refined the three spiritual treasures bestowed by the sage, then it would be even more impossible to avenge the loss of his opportunity. Thinking of this, Kunpeng's heart ached even more. Why, why didn't he have a single decent spiritual treasure?
Are all the magical treasures of the primordial world on that bastard?
What should he do?
Hongjun: ?
Styx, however, didn't care what Kunpeng thought at all. With his accumulated merit protecting him, plus the 480 million Blood God Children,
With so many spiritual treasures, unless a sage were willing to sacrifice himself to kill him, he would not be threatened in the slightest.
And at that moment, the system's reward arrived.
[Congratulations, host. Creation has created a script that is suitable for all living beings in the primordial world, adapting to the present and the future. It has greatly gathered the fortune of the literary path, which has not only fulfilled some of the duties of teaching and enlightening living beings as the true lineage of Pangu, but also potentially enhanced the potential of the soon-to-be-re-established Jie Sect.]
The completion rates for both main quests one and two have slightly improved.
