Chapter 40 Lao Tzu: Fellow Daoist Styx, excellent methods. I will remember this grudge (1)
As Hongjun cast his spell, which required time, the Pangu Banner, which had already been absorbed into Yuanshi's primordial spirit, was taken back by Hongjun.
"You once said that those with unstable temperaments should not be entrusted with important responsibilities, and I wholeheartedly agree."
"This Pangu Banner is extremely dangerous, so we will temporarily take it back. We will bestow it upon you again after you have attained enlightenment and your Dao heart is stable," Hongjun said calmly.
What I give you is yours; if I don't give it to you, you can't take it from me!
Even if they are descendants of Pangu, so what?
This Pangu Banner was originally from Yuanshi, but the Heavenly Dao did not stipulate when it must be given to Yuanshi!
Yuanshi looked at Hongjun, his face pale. He never expected that his sincere heart would be met with such an outcome.
An unstable temperament is an absolute humiliation for Yuan Shi, who always respects those who follow him and whose character is excellent when entrusting important responsibilities. After all, to deny someone in the very place they admire most is an absolute act of destroying their spirit.
Sending Yuanshi back to Kunlun Mountain for seclusion is just another form of confinement, isn't it?
It's just that people from the sage's lineage don't say such harsh things.
Furthermore, the Pangu Banner is extremely compatible with the Great Dao that Yuanshi cultivates. As a supreme innate treasure, it can greatly make Yuanshi's cultivation path smoother. Moreover, the Dao Ancestor passed down the method of severing the three corpses, which is the only path for all the great powers to reach the realm above the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
If nothing unexpected happens, Yuanshi's first corpse will inevitably be cleaved out with the Pangu Banner, which will greatly enhance Yuanshi's strength. However, now that the Pangu Banner has been retrieved, this possibility has naturally been eliminated.
At least, before the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, this possibility was absolutely out of the question.
This will greatly affect the path of the Primordial Beginning, and this impact is difficult to express with written data, because cultivation is not a simple addition and subtraction, but a snowballing process of gradual accumulation. Every decision can potentially affect the endless years to come.
For example, without a doubt, the Pangu Banner will eventually be returned to Yuanshi. And after Yuanshi severs the three corpses, one of the spiritual treasures he uses will definitely be the Pangu Banner, a supreme innate treasure. However, the three lectures at Zixiao Palace mainly discuss the way of the sage. This is a lecture that is dispensable to most of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, but it is of great importance to the six sages of destiny.
When listening to this third sermon, one's own cultivation level will largely determine the amount of gain. Using the Pangu Banner or other spiritual treasures to sever the corpse will undoubtedly result in a difference, and this difference will greatly affect Yuanshi's gains in the third sermon, thus affecting Yuanshi's future path to sainthood, and even his cultivation level after becoming a saint.
The ultimate result is that Yuanshi remains Yuanshi, and the spiritual treasures remain the same, but Yuanshi's combat power may be greatly reduced, which will affect many things in later generations.
After all, at the level of a sage, since the world surrounds them, slight differences may be difficult to perceive, but when they are, they may lead to earth-shattering problems.
At this moment, Yuanshi was humiliated, and the Three Pure Ones all looked displeased, but Hongjun's finishing blow was not yet over.
After all, given that Hongjun, as a sage, only acted this way in the face of a coup, it was already quite magnanimous of him.
Looking at the now completely silent Zixiao Palace, Hongjun made a second decision.
"This is the Auspicious Cloud of All Heavens." Hongjun put away the cloud bed behind him, and in an instant, the Auspicious Cloud of All Heavens returned to its original form, transforming into a five-colored auspicious cloud that floated above the Purple Cloud Palace. For a moment, five-colored radiant light illuminated the heavens, and eight-tone celestial music resounded throughout the universe. Clearly, this was an extraordinary treasure.
"This treasure was transformed from the righteous energy in the heart of Fellow Daoist Pangu, and later I obtained it. Styx, you created the Ghost Immortal Path and created immortal texts, which have made great contributions to the primordial world and the Xuanmen. Today, I will reward you with this treasure for your wholehearted contribution to the primordial world."
"You have endured countless years of suffering in the sea of blood, yet you have maintained a pure heart. This treasure is a legacy passed down to you." With a wave of his hand, Hongjun also sent the auspicious clouds of the heavens into the Styx River.
Upon seeing this, Yuanshi became even more enraged.
What is so special about the auspicious clouds of the heavens?
Before the Dao Ancestor restored the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, Yuanshi felt that the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds had a great affinity with him, but now, seeing the Dao Ancestor's actions, that affinity had been completely severed.
This was undoubtedly another humiliation for Yuan Shi.
Tongtian, standing to the side, already sensed that his second brother was about to shatter.
"This sermon is now over. Go back and cultivate diligently." After saying this, Hongjun's figure disappeared from Zixiao Palace, unwilling to say another word.
The gates of Zixiao Palace opened, and Styx, who had received a wisp of primordial purple energy, a supreme innate treasure, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and a rare treasure of the Heavenly Dao, raised his head in a daze.
What happened?
"Second brother, you should go back to Kunlun Mountain first. We will take care of this matter for you." Laozi said to Yuanshi, whose face was calm but whose heart was filled with rage.
Whether as a teacher or as a sage, Yuanshi had been placed under house arrest, and he could not disobey the order. However, the sage only confined Yuanshi, not him and Tongtian!
Now that the Three Pure Ones are united, to insult the Primordial Beginning is to insult the Three Pure Ones. Even if Laozi does not want to cause trouble, it does not mean that he is afraid of trouble.
Moreover—although I felt that my second brother should not have contradicted the Sage in public, given the circumstances, I had no choice but to do so because of the bond of friendship with the Three Pure Ones.
Moreover, it is a fact that Styx retreated in order to advance, scheming and humiliating Yuanshi. If they did not respond, who would still take them, the true descendants of Pangu, seriously?
He knew that Styx's cultivation had improved again, but now that he had severed one of his corpses and his cultivation had greatly increased, Laozi couldn't imagine any reason why he would lose!
You must understand that even if the Taiji Diagram has not yet been refined, with the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, he and Tongtian can still stand invincible. And this is already the worst-case scenario that Laozi has envisioned.
No matter how high Styx's cultivation level is, he is still only a Great Luo Golden Immortal!
He couldn't possibly break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm!
After all, even the Ancestral Dragon and his kind in the previous great calamity only achieved this with a clear path to follow, along with the aid of scales, birds, and...
It was the fortune of the beast race, coupled with the merits of establishing the race, that enabled him to break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
In Lao Tzu's vision, no matter how strong the Styx River was, it was impossible for it to be on par with the Ancestral Dragon and the others at this stage. At this stage, Lao Tzu, who had already severed one of his corpses, considered himself to be the one with the highest cultivation among the three thousand guests of Zixiao.
Moreover—if we wait until Styx refines that innate treasure and uses it to sever the corpse, it will be even more difficult to deal with Styx.
Meanwhile, the three thousand guests of Zixiao also had their own thoughts, such as Kunpeng and Dongwanggong.
Judging from this situation, the Three Pure Ones and the Styx River will definitely start fighting soon, and then they can take advantage of the chaos.
