Chapter 71 Late Stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal
"As long as we lure him into the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, killing him will be a piece of cake."
Once we capture his primordial spirit, what use are his many Blood God Children?
"At that time, you fellow Daoists and we can share the spiritual treasures, but we don't need that Primordial Purple Qi, so it will naturally be given to you fellow Daoists." Yuanshi looked at Dijun and Fuxi and said with a smile.
After careful consideration, Di Jun realized that the plan was indeed feasible. Given the respect that Styx held for Hongjun, it would definitely go to Zixiao Palace in its true form during the three lectures, instead of the Blood God Child. Moreover, it would carry the Primordial Purple Qi with it.
At this moment, the method of severing the three corpses has spread throughout the prehistoric world, and the value of the already scarce spiritual treasures has increased even more. Styx has many spiritual treasures on his body, and sharing them can be of great help. Moreover, that Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation for becoming a saint!
At that time, neither the Three Pure Ones nor Nuwa will need the Primordial Purple Qi. When the Primordial Purple Qi is distributed, rewards will be given based on merit. Given his and Taiyi's combat strength, this Primordial Purple Qi will most likely fall into the hands of their Great Sun Golden Crow. Whether he becomes a saint himself or Taiyi becomes a saint, it is the best choice.
"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi's plan is excellent, but the Styx River possesses great merit. Killing him will surely bring about tremendous karma. Who will bear this karma?"
Moreover, this Immortal Slaughtering Formation is incredibly powerful. Why did you three not only eliminate the Styx River, but also need our assistance? Fuxi looked at Yuanshi and began to fill in the gaps in Yuanshi's plan.
"We never intended to kill Styx. After capturing his primordial spirit, the best course of action is to seal it. All we need to do is prevent Styx from becoming a saint."
As for what Fellow Daoist Fuxi said about why we don't take action ourselves, Yuanshi thought for a moment, then looked at Fuxi and gave his answer: "Although my third brother's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is powerful, it is difficult to keep someone who has entered the formation if they are highly skilled."
"Without the help of several fellow Daoists, it would indeed have been difficult to subdue the rebellious spirit within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation."
If the Three Pure Ones alone could eliminate the Styx River, then they would have taken matters into their own hands. Not to mention, both Yuanshi and Tongtian among the Three Pure Ones have the desire to take on disciples and educate them. Wouldn't it be wonderful to leave that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi to their disciples in the future?
Before this, the Three Pure Ones had also analyzed the possibility of eliminating the Styx River with just the three of them. However, after some deduction, this possibility was rejected. The reason was simple: the Immortal Slaughtering Formation was indeed worthy of the Dao Ancestor's reputation that "it cannot be broken without the Four Saints." However, if the person who entered the formation was determined to leave, the sword formation would indeed be difficult to keep.
However, Styx's cultivation level was indeed too high. After the second lecture at Zixiao Palace, the Three Pure Ones had also been cultivating in seclusion for many days. Even if they were to fight against Styx outside Zixiao Palace today, they would not be able to guarantee a sure victory. They could only say that with the help of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the Taiji Diagram, it would not be a problem for them to retreat unscathed.
'If the Pangu Banner had not been taken by the Dao Ancestor, and there had been another innate treasure, perhaps—' Because of the loss of the innate treasure Pangu Banner, the Three Pure Ones currently lack decisive offensive capabilities, which also forces them to cooperate with Di Jun and others.
Thinking of this, Yuanshi hated the Styx even more. The enmity of being blocked from the path was irreconcilable. Moreover, the Styx had delayed him by more than a little bit. Now, among the Three Pure Ones, he had the lowest cultivation level, which made the usually proud Yuanshi feel quite embarrassed.
During the Investiture of the Gods, before the Four Sages broke the Immortal Slaughter Formation, both Yuanshi and Laozi entered and exited the formation. Although they could not break the formation, the Immortal Slaughter Formation could not keep them. This was also because they did not have the Pangu Banner. Yuanshi thought that even if he and his elder brother entered the Immortal Slaughter Formation together to hold back the Styx River, the Styx River could not break the Immortal Slaughter Formation and would leave on its own. It was really difficult to keep them.
The three lectures at Zixiao Palace are the only opportunity. If this opportunity is not seized, it will inevitably make Minghe more cautious. It is like trying to kill a tiger but failing to kill it; one will inevitably suffer the consequences.
They couldn't possibly watch the River Styx become a saint!
"Fellow Daoists Di Jun and Fu Xi, if you hesitate when you should act, you will suffer the consequences. If you fail to act when the time is right, you will suffer the consequences. If we fail to eliminate the Styx River this time, it will merge with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, making it even more difficult to deal with it."
"If the Styx's scheme is used by the Wu Clan, fellow Daoists, think about it—" Yuanshi looked at the four people in front of him, including Dijun, and analyzed. His analysis really made Dijun and the others change their expressions.
After careful consideration, Di Jun, Fu Xi, and Tai Yi all had drastic changes in expression.
You can say Styx is bad, but you can't say Styx is bad, given Styx's scheming skills and strength.
Di Jun and the others exchanged glances, and they all saw determination in each other's eyes: they absolutely could not let that happen!
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, do not hesitate any longer. With the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, plus the Taiji Diagram, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, and the Chaos Bell in Fellow Daoist Taiyi's hand, even if we fail, it will not be difficult for us to retreat unscathed."
Whether this matter succeeds or fails, we will help you fellow Daoists fight against the Witch Clan.
"If that's the case, what's there to hesitate about?" Laozi looked at Di Jun, who was already tempted, and continued to persuade him.
"Alright, fellow Daoist Laozi, if that's the case, I'll agree."
Let's make a plan—"
Several more cycles later.
Above the Netherworld Blood Sea, Styx successfully emerged from seclusion, his primordial spirit cultivation reaching the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
"Not bad." Feeling the unprecedented power and realm, Styx was very satisfied.
"Judging by the time, the three lectures at Zixiao Palace are almost here. I should use the remaining time to consolidate my cultivation level, and then study the alchemy and weapon-forging techniques passed down by the Celestial Venerable of Morality," Styx pondered.
If one doesn't possess sufficiently refined alchemy and weapon-forging skills, then this Qiankun Cauldron would be a huge waste.
"With my current cultivation level, severing the three corpses would be a piece of cake," Styx pondered as he studied alchemy.
The difficulty of severing a corpse at the level of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal is completely different from that at the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal. If he wanted to, he could sever both the good and evil corpses now and become a Quasi-Saint of Two Corpses. Before the end of the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, he could sever the most difficult corpse to sever and become a Quasi-Saint of Three Corpses.
But after thinking about it, Styx gave up on the idea.
The reason is simple: he wants to ensure that he can use all the means at his disposal to pursue a path with the highest potential.
At the end of the last great calamity, Luo Hou was already at the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm. He cultivated the Great Dao of Destruction and the Great Dao of Demons, and with the calamity energy of the great calamity, he reached his limit. The battles and killings between the three innate races and the scaled, flying, and running beasts reached their limit. His cultivation should have been infinitely close to that of the Hunyuan Luo Golden Immortal.
Of course, a slight difference can make all the difference, but Hongjun's ability to contend with him must have been due to his reaching the pinnacle of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, and then breaking through his limits again through the method of severing the three corpses. Styx pondered.
"The cultivation level of the three corpses severed by the method of severing the three corpses is equivalent to that of the original body after severing the corpses. The upper limit of the three corpses severed should depend on the upper limit of the spiritual treasure—"
