Chapter 36 Hard to Say (1)
Feeling the primordial purple energy that was dormant within his primordial spirit, Styx was at a loss for what to do.
At this moment, Styx thought about many things, such as whether Hongjun wanted to use this Primordial Purple Qi to get rid of him.
Just like eliminating the red clouds in the original primordial wilderness?
With the Netherworld Blood Sea present, and a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi nearby, how difficult would it be to kill him?
So why did Hongjun give Hongyun this wisp of Primordial Purple Qi that should have belonged to him?
"The Chaos Pearl seems to have suppressed the Primordial Purple Qi, but I wonder if Hongjun has noticed it or not." Styx looked at Hongjun's figure on the high platform, his heart pounding.
"Could it be that those hype stories had an effect?" Styx wasn't that naive, and therefore, he couldn't figure out why for a moment.
"Although we are in the reality of being master and disciple, we are not destined to be. Fine, since you have such good fortune today, I should give you a few spiritual treasures to protect you." Hongjun looked at Styx, who had obtained the Primordial Purple Qi but remained neither humble nor arrogant, and smiled as he presented the two treasures.
One of them is the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. In addition to its various wonderful uses, it also has the ability to suppress fortune. As one of the five innate flags, its wonderful uses are no less than those of the Twelve-Petal Lotus Platform.
Of course, there's not much to say about this. This spiritual treasure is destined to be with the River Styx. In the original primordial world, it was on the Treasure Distribution Cliff, and was eventually taken away by the River Styx.
Importantly, there is another spiritual treasure, which is a cauldron-shaped spiritual treasure with an ancient and mysterious design. The bottom center of the cauldron has a Taiji diagram, which is embraced by two Yin-Yang fish. The outer side of the cauldron is composed of the Eight Trigrams, and the Qi of Qian and Kun is distributed on the body of the cauldron.
Heaven and Earth Cauldron!
One of the supreme innate treasures alongside the Pangu Banner, Taiji Diagram, Chaos Bell, and Zhuxian Sword Formation!
When Hongjun took out these two spiritual treasures, Styx's train of thought was suddenly interrupted again.
Since the decision had been made to support Styx, Hongjun was generous in bestowing treasures upon him. Of course, if it were the original Styx, no matter how much he praised it, Hongjun would not have been able to offer such a precious treasure as the Qiankun Cauldron.
Although for a saint of Hongjun's level, a single innate treasure is no longer that important, what he wants is everything in the primordial heavenly Dao after he merges with the Dao, it is still an innate treasure, of extraordinary value, and cannot be given away easily.
But now, having attained the Dao of Reincarnation and become a Primordial Golden Immortal, and as the ancestor of ghost immortals, he actually controls the Styx River in the Netherworld Blood Sea, possessing a value that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
At the same time, Hongjun also wanted to use this opportunity to show all living beings in the prehistoric world what it meant to obey him and what it meant to defy him.
"I bestow these two treasures upon you for protection, hoping that you—" Hongjun looked at the Styx River, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Sage—Teacher, no!" Upon seeing this, Yuanshi immediately stepped forward, looked at Hongjun, and although anxious, still respectfully bowed and greeted him.
Zhunti: ( )
Introduction: ...—·
Now that Daozu is their teacher, and their teacher is so fond of Styx, do Zhunti and Jieyin feel any dissatisfaction?
Have.
It's impossible for it not to exist.
Even Nuwa, her closed-door disciple, could not completely ignore the Dao Ancestor's current favor towards the Styx River.
They are nominal disciples, which is true, but at least they are disciples. But what have they gained?
Each person only needs one top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
As Nuwa's last disciple, she only received two top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Although both contained great merit, the difference between top-grade innate spiritual treasures and innate supreme treasures is as vast as the difference between clouds and mud.
The Styx River isn't even a disciple of a sage, so what right does it have to obtain a top-grade innate spiritual treasure or an innate supreme treasure?
Only one of the Three Pure Ones obtained a supreme innate treasure.
Moreover, although the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Zhuxian Sword Formation each have their own unique and wonderful uses, if Zhunti and Jieyin were to choose, they would definitely choose the Qiankun Cauldron, which is more useful for development, without hesitation.
Of course, this is only if they have a choice; in reality, they don't have a choice at all.
Who exactly is the disciple of the sage?
Both Zhunti and Jieyin can confidently say that Styx is indeed—somewhat powerful.
Thinking of how they once joined forces to fight against Styx, only to be forced back by Styx's sword, Zhunti and Jieyin had to admit that Styx was very strong.
However, it seems that the Styx River obtained the Primordial Purple Qi mainly through flattering the Sage.
But if they wanted to flatter the sage, they could do that too. If they had known this earlier, why would they have bothered to make themselves look ugly in Zixiao Palace, or offend the dead Kunpeng and snatch this prayer mat?
However, both Zhunti and Jieyin were in a daze as they looked at Yuanshi who had interrupted the sage.
Is this the authentic Pangu?
How can a person be so audacious?
A great sage should be like this.
The powerful beings standing to the side, including Di Jun, Tai Yi, Dong Wang Gong, Kun Peng, and Hong Yun, felt a renewed sense of hope upon seeing Yuan Shi step forward.
Tongtian and Laozi looked at Yuanshi, who had interrupted the sage, and exchanged a glance, neither knowing what to say.
"My second brother seems to have a great prejudice against the River Styx." Tongtian was comprehending the mysteries of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation when he looked at his second brother's figure and pondered to himself.
"Second brother, you're in too much of a hurry." Laozi understood Yuanshi's thoughts. Firstly, given Yuanshi's approach of expounding the Tao and the heavens, he didn't want to see someone like Styx become a saint and spread evil among the people.
Secondly, the Three Pure Ones are considered the true descendants of Pangu, while Styx also claimed the title of the true descendant of Pangu by deceiving the sages. There is a competitive relationship between them and the Three Pure Ones. Once the Dao Ancestor finishes speaking, everything will be irreversible.
Watching the Styx gain momentum would be entirely detrimental to the Three Pure Ones, which is what sets the Styx apart from other powerful beings.
Even if we take a step back and assume that one day the Eastern King Duke or Emperor Jun obtain the primordial world, or if some other powerful being with a supreme destiny does so, as long as it's not the Twelve Ancestral Witches who obtain the primordial world, then the Three Pure Ones should still be respectfully worshipped.
This is the power of the title of the true descendant of Pangu, but the Styx-Sanqing do not feel the same way.
Moreover, compared to other powerful beings, the Styx River's speed in developing and accumulating merit is far too fast.
However, Yuanshi should not have stood up to contradict the sage at this time, especially since the sage had just accepted them as disciples and bestowed upon them innate treasures.
Moreover, if the Three Pure Ones are united and Yuanshi steps forward, what will happen to him and his third brother?
Hongjun looked at Yuanshi with an expressionless face, but in his holy eyes, countless Daoist principles were already surging like waves.
No?
Why not?!
The Primordial Purple Qi is his, and the spiritual treasure is his too! It's his spiritual treasure! Does he need to consult with others before bestowing it upon someone?
Even the primordial Heavenly Dao cannot interfere with this!
Di Jun and Tai Yi felt that they should stand up and say something for Yuan Shi, after all, that was the only Primordial Purple Qi, the opportunity to prove the Dao.
But they didn't know from what angle to agree with Yuanshi, until Kunpeng, with red eyes, knelt down and said to Hongjun, "Please, Dao Ancestor, think it over. The Styx River mainly cultivates the Great Dao of Slaughter. If it obtains the Primordial Purple Qi, it will surely unleash immeasurable calamity and wreak havoc on the prehistoric world."
