Chapter 74 How did the Styx River end up inside the Purple Cloud Palace?
"Don't worry, senior brother, this is a good thing."
"You must know that people are all driven by self-interest." Zhunti looked at Jieyin. His senior brother was so concerned that he made a mistake. Even without his reminder, Jieyin would have figured it out sooner or later.
"Yes, yes, good, good." Upon hearing this, Jieyin instantly understood the situation. It was understandable that Dijun and Fuxi were close, but with the addition of the Three Pure Ones, it was no longer a force to be reckoned with against ordinary people.
Since they united to fight against a certain entity, wouldn't their opportunity come when the great war begins?
If the East remains in chaos, the West will never have a chance!
"Junior brother, something's strange." Jieyin looked around and searched carefully before turning to Zhunti.
"What is it?" Zhunti asked subconsciously as he admired the Daoist aura emanating from the walls of Zixiao Palace.
They had all severed one of their corpses and achieved the Quasi-Saint realm, and this was the moment when Zhunti was feeling very proud and self-satisfied.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Styx?" Jieyin asked Zhunti telepathically.
Upon hearing this, Zhunti suddenly realized, "The Styx?"
What about the River Styx?
Since the Western Corpse Disaster, Zhunti has been paying close attention to Styx's movements. However, the more he pays attention, the more alarmed he becomes. He simply cannot understand many of Styx's schemes. Yet, in the end, Styx uses these operations that he cannot comprehend to accumulate power and merit that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Even the Three Pure Ones suffered a great loss at the hands of the Styx River. To scheme against the Three Pure Ones was something Zhunti would never have dared to even think about before.
But Styx succeeded through his scheme.
The Styx River—playing a grand game.
The movements of the Styx River are very likely related to the future trends of the prehistoric world. Therefore, Zhunti also found it very strange that the Styx River did not come during the third sermon at Zixiao Palace.
Before long, another wave of chaos swept in, and many powerful beings took action to resist it.
"Second brother, I'm afraid the Styx River isn't coming, is it?" Tongtian asked Yuanshi with some surprise.
If Styx doesn't come, then all their preparations will have been in vain.
"Probably not. Let's wait a bit longer. If he doesn't come, he will have heard the Dao one less time than we have, and his threat will be greatly reduced."
"At the same time, he doesn't come when the teacher is lecturing, so it's time for the teacher to see his true colors." Lao Tzu said to Tongtian Dao.
Di Jun looked at the three ancient and profound Daoist characters on the plaque of Zixiao Palace, his eyes filled with worry.
This time, he used the Hetu and Luoshu to deduce many things. In his deductions, the Styx River was no match for them. In other words, as long as the Styx River came, according to the previous agreement, this wisp of primordial purple energy would most likely belong to him and Taiyi.
This is the foundation for achieving sainthood!
However, Di Jun, who was worried that Styx would not come, did not know that Styx possessed the Chaos Pearl and the Heaven-Covering Pearl. Although the River Chart and the Luo River Book were powerful, they could not compare with the Chaos Pearl. Even though covering the secrets of heaven was only the most inconspicuous ability of the Chaos Pearl, at this moment, it led Di Jun's deduction in an absolutely wrong direction.
A great master whose physical body has reached the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal and whose primordial spirit cultivation has reached the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal is far beyond the ability of several Quasi-Saints to contend with. Even with the Zhuxian Sword Formation, it would be difficult to capture him.
After all, the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Primordial Golden Immortal is no joke, and they are not Quasi-Saints with very high cultivation levels right now, but Styx is no ordinary Primordial Golden Immortal!
Time passed second by second, and finally, as time ran out, the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened. Haotian and Yaochi, riding on lotus platforms made of karmic fire red lotuses, came out to welcome the group of great supernatural beings, and at the same time proclaimed the ancestral decree, welcoming the great powers into Zixiao Palace.
In the end, none of the powerful beings saw Styx. At the same time, Houtu and Xuanming did not come either. The Wu Clan was busy expanding their territory and had no time to come to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao that they could not understand at all.
Zhen Yuanzi ultimately failed to find Styx and shook his head.
When the path of the Earth Immortals was born, he had a feeling, especially since he possessed the Earth Book. The title of the Ancestor of Earth Immortals was originally bestowed upon him by the heavens, but it was forcibly taken away by the Styx River!
The hatred of those who obstruct the path is irreconcilable, and this applies to any great supernatural being, including Zhen Yuanzi. From the moment Styx stole the title of Ancestor of Earth Immortals, they became enemies. Of course, given Zhen Yuanzi's temperament, he would never act like Kunpeng.
If you can avenge the person who blocked your way, do so; if you can't, don't get yourself involved.
Zhen Yuanzi knew perfectly well that he was no match for Styx, but that did not mean Styx was invincible forever.
Zhen Yuanzi is indeed no match for Styx now, but that doesn't mean he'll never have a chance.
Putting everything else aside, would the Three Pure Ones watch the Styx River ascend to the highest position step by step?
With mixed feelings, the group of powerful cultivators entered the Zixiao Palace. They found that although the sermon had not yet begun, flowers were falling from the sky and golden lotuses of magical power were emerging from the ground. A Taoist in a blood-red robe was refining the golden lotuses of magical power in his seat, clearly having been cultivating for a long time.
It's the River Styx!
Apart from the first few powerful individuals who knew that Styx had entered Zixiao Palace, the vast majority of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace had strange expressions.
They blew chaos outside the Purple Cloud Palace, enduring endless erosion from earth, water, wind, and fire, while the Styx could enjoy itself inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
Is this fair?
At this moment, the Three Pure Ones had also figured out the key point: the Styx River hadn't failed to come; on the contrary, it had arrived long ago!
The teacher opened the door early and released the Styx River into the Zixiao Palace alone.
At this moment, even with the mental cultivation of the Three Pure Ones, they were extremely indignant. Why?
They were clearly the teacher's disciples, clearly the ones who cared most about the prehistoric world, clearly loyal to Hongjun, unlike Styx who was so selfish.
But why does the teacher only trust Styx?
Who exactly is the teacher's disciple?
Yuanshi suppressed the grievance in his heart that "I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch." Sooner or later, there would be a time to deal with the Styx and pacify the primordial world. No matter how much the teacher trusted the Styx, as long as the Styx lost the foundation for becoming a saint and lost the primordial purple energy, it would be nothing to fear!
As long as Styx comes, it will be good. Once he comes, he will inevitably be surrounded and killed.
He, Yuan Shi, will eventually bring peace to the world; why should he bother with someone who is about to leave the stage?!
The most urgent task is to impeach the Eastern King Duke and ask the Dao Ancestor to establish a new Immortal Leader. After all, their purpose in this trip is not just to obtain the Styx River. They need the position of Immortal Leader to gather all the races of the prehistoric world and fight against the Wu Clan. The prestige and fortune of the Wu Clan cannot be increased any further!
And is there anyone more suitable for the position of Immortal Leader than those who were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu?
"Our plan may fool the Styx, but it will never fool our teacher. With such faith in the Styx, can our plan truly succeed?" Lao Tzu asked worriedly.
