In response to Kunpeng's doubts, Hongjun did not respond, but simply watched Yuanshi calmly.
Among the three thousand guests of Zixiao, there are those who can make Hongjun respond or even take notice, but—what are you, Kunpeng?
"Teacher, as Fellow Daoist Kunpeng said, Styx mainly cultivates the Great Dao of Slaughter, and is wicked by nature. He has always been fond of flattering and fawning over the ruler. How can he be entrusted with such an important task?" Yuanshi looked at Hongjun and respectfully bowed.
He absolutely could not allow his beloved sage teacher to be deceived by the River Styx, and for this reason, he was willing to contradict the sage in public.
Hongjun looked at Yuanshi, his brows furrowing slightly, but quickly relaxed.
This is no easy feat. After all, Hongjun is a Chaos Demon God who has cultivated in the prehistoric world for countless years. It is not easy for him to lose his composure even now that he is a saint, and not just any ordinary saint.
Yuanshi's words were really too much, so much so that even Hongjun himself couldn't have imagined that these words could come from Yuanshi, whom he thought the most among the Three Pure Ones.
In fact, at this moment, both Hongjun and Yuanshi were caught in a misunderstanding.
In fact, most great beings could not even imagine that sages would have desires and wants, let alone think of repaying sages.
After all, among the three thousand guests of Zixiao, there are quite a few who preach the Dao to all living beings, but very few great supernatural beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level would ask the primordial beings who listen to their sermons for any reward in return.
This leads to the view that, from Yuanshi's perspective, Styx is a sycophant of Ashi. Moreover, Styx also cultivates the Great Dao of Slaughter. A person's path of cultivation largely determines their character, because in the prehistoric world, one must also "prove the Dao," just like the Demon Ancestor Luo.
Moreover, the Styx River is now considered a descendant of Pangu recognized by the Heavenly Dao. The Twelve Ancestral Witches are already troublesome enough. If another descendant of Pangu were to become a saint, how troublesome would that be? Even Yuanshi dared not imagine.
Therefore, Yuanshi would do everything in his power to prevent the Styx from obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi. The Sage knew the thoughts of all beings in an instant, and Yuanshi believed that his Sage teacher would never betray his sincere heart.
"At this point, Kunpeng is no longer a creature adorned with scales and feathers, but your fellow Daoist?" Hongjun looked at Yuanshi and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Kunpeng's face turned pale and then red, looking quite unpleasant. Of course, Kunpeng did not dare to hold a grudge against the sage, but instead recalled the embarrassment of having his prayer mat taken away.
Hongjun could certainly see the thoughts of everyone, and therefore, under the protection of the Chaos Pearl, from Hongjun's perspective, Styx was a grateful person who was loyal to him.
sincere?
Zhenxin was actually instigating the Twelve Ancestral Witches to attack the Netherworld Blood Sea while he was clearing obstacles for the Immortal Path in the Styx River.
The truth is, even now, they are unwilling to follow even a single word about the "Taoist Ancestor".
If Hongjun wanted it, would a sage like him lack a sincere heart?
Furthermore, the phrase "wicked by nature, fond of flattering the ruler" – could it be interpreted as implying that this saint behaved improperly?
After all, if the ruler has no evil intentions, how can there be treacherous officials flattering him?
That's quite a boast.
Seeing this, Taiyi also wanted to stand up and join Yuanshi and Kunpeng. After all, with their connections, as long as they suppressed the Styx River first, who could be their opponent?
Is it the Eastern King Duke?
If the Primordial Purple Qi was absolutely not going to come into his hands, and he had to choose between Di Jun and Dong Wang Gong, Taiyi was confident that he could mobilize the majority of people to choose Di Jun, but he was stopped by Di Jun.
"Among the three thousand Great Daos, there is no distinction between high and low, noble and base; all can attain the Dao. Moreover, the main Dao cultivated by the Styx River is not the Dao of Killing," Hongjun continued, and then he was about to push the Qiankun Cauldron and the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag towards the Styx River.
Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance upon hearing this.
They never doubted the words of the sage, only—
"Fellow Daoist Styx, you've been hiding your strength well." Zhunti and Jieyin thought to themselves at this moment. They knew that they had fought with Styx before and were well aware of his power and how terrifying his Dao of Slaughter was.
Is this not the Great Dao that Styx primarily cultivates?
"Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World has seen through Styx's nature, and so have I. Alright, that's enough." With that, Hongjun decided not to continue the discussion.
Yuanshi was his newly accepted disciple, and he also possessed the merit of creating the world. Further discussion of this topic would either diminish his dignity as a sage or cause Yuanshi to lose face, which was something he did not want to see.
But the righteous Yuan Shi clearly didn't think so.
"Teacher, please forgive me. In this world, great villains often appear loyal, and great falsehoods often appear true. In the past, when Luo punished the gods and established the demonic path, he also received merit from the Heavenly Way. But at that time, who could have imagined that he would later instigate conflict and trigger a great calamity?"
Because of Luo's despicable character, the powerful beings failed to stop him in time, which allowed him to create the Great Calamity, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
"This disciple is sincere in his heart, and does not wish for the tragedy of the West to repeat itself. I hope Master will take heed." Yuanshi looked at Hongjun, engaging in a final debate.
"Why is Second Brother acting like this today—" Tongtian looked at Laozi, momentarily puzzled, and unsure of what to say.
Is that correct?
Is this still his second brother, who plans everything meticulously and meticulously?
"Alas." Lao Tzu sighed deeply. Perhaps it was because the primordial deduction had reached its final stage that he decided to step forward.
Hongjun couldn't hold back any longer.
You must know that he still has a share in the karma of the Western Paradise's destruction in the last great kalpa, and he hasn't paid it off yet. What is this?
Does failing to stop Luo earlier mean that he, as a saint, was incompetent?
That's Demon Ancestor Luo! He absorbed the energy of the three innate races and fought against countless birds, beasts, and scaled creatures, generating calamity energy. He was only one step away from destroying the primordial world and regaining the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!
The Demon Ancestor Luo, who could force Qiankun, Yin Yang, and Yangmei to join forces against him!
It was the kind of formidable enemy in the struggle for Dao that even Hongjun himself didn't know if he could win if he had to start over!
"Whether it is true or false, I will make my own judgment. Styx has repeatedly performed meritorious deeds and is a rare and blessed immortal in the world. His creation of the ghost immortal path has made immeasurable contributions to all living beings in the primordial world and to the Xuanmen immortal path. There is no need to say more." Hongjun immediately pushed the two spiritual treasures in front of Styx.
What, are you, Yuanshi, going to challenge me, a sage?
"Teacher, please reconsider! There are great sages in the world, so that another great calamity will not occur. The Xuanmen sect can tolerate honest advice, so that its fortune will not decline. The calamity of the three innate races is just around the corner." Yuanshi knelt down before his teacher, still showing respect.
"So, if we don't listen to you, Buzhou will collapse, heaven and earth will perish, and the Xuanmen will die out?" Hongjun looked at Yuanshi, then quickly looked at Laozi and Tongtian.
