Side Quest: Counterattack
[As a sage, your cultivation is now sealed, and you are imprisoned with no freedom whatsoever. Please break free from your confinement in the Zixiao Palace, return to the primordial world, gradually break free from the control of the Fallen Saint Pill, restore your cultivation as a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and gradually pursue the Great Dao.]
Styx: ...
Is it the true lineage of Pangu? To revive the Jiejiao tradition?
Putting aside the question of whether he has connections to the highest levels, is he even qualified to do this main quest?
In the current primordial world, the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches all claim to be the true lineage of Pangu. If he were to get involved, he would surely be antagonized by both sides.
As for the great lineage of religions, although he may establish the Asura religion in the future, can the Asura religion compare with the Human Religion, the Chan Religion, the Jie Religion, and the Western Religion?
Under the will of Heaven, the general trend cannot be changed. What kind of sect will have how much fortune, when it will prosper and when it will decline, has long been arranged clearly. The planning of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun over countless years is no joke.
However, he's not in Zixiao Palace right now, nor has he been poisoned by the Fallen Saint Pill, so could it be...?
[Congratulations! Your side quest progress has far exceeded expectations. You've so easily escaped your confinement and even the control of the Fallen Saint Pill.]
[Rewards are as follows: God-Slaying Spear, Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation (Great Dao of Sword, Great Dao of Slaughter), Heaven-Covering Pearl (Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure)]
Please keep up the good work.
"A fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation?" Styx's eyes flashed with thousands of divine lights. The Jade Disc of Creation recorded the three thousand Great Daos in the Chaos. It was the origin of the Great Dao of Chaos and contained the three thousand laws. For the innate saints who were born with the Dao, it was an extremely rare treasure.
The God-Slaying Spear is the magical treasure of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, renowned for its power. The fragments of the Creation Jade Disc, which record the Great Dao of Killing and Sword, are also said to be related to Rahu. After the last great calamity ended, Rahu perished, and these two treasures disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, they were delivered to his hands today.
The importance of these two treasures to him is unimaginable. The Great Dao he cultivates is the Great Dao of Blood and the Great Dao of Slaughter, with the Great Dao of Slaughter as the main one and the Great Dao of Blood as the auxiliary one.
The God-Slaying Spear is a supreme treasure of the path of killing. It has forty-eight restrictions and is among the top-tier innate spiritual treasures. If one can refine the killing principles and innate spiritual light contained within it, enhancing combat power will be secondary; it will be of great benefit to one's cultivation of the Great Dao of Killing.
The fragments of the Creation Jade Disc, which record the Great Dao of Killing and Sword, have unimaginable benefits for his cultivation.
To put it simply, the Styx River ranks the current power of the great beings of the primordial world.
In the present prehistoric world, apart from Hongjun, there are many powerful beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level... Hongjun has not yet passed down the immortal path, and there is no division of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level in the prehistoric world. Among the great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world, without a doubt, Taiyi, who has the innate treasure Chaos Bell, and Taiqing Laozi, who is the head of the Three Pure Ones, are in a class of their own.
Below them are those with the merits of creation, whose cultivation is smooth and who are close to the Primordial Beginning and the Heavenly Connection, as well as the strongest among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who belong to the second tier.
Following them are figures like Di Jun, Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi, Nuwa, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Hongyun, who belong to the third tier. Of course, the difference between the second and third tiers isn't significant, far less than the difference between the first and second tiers.
However, with the God-Slaying Spear and the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc, Styx was confident that he would only need tens of thousands of years at most to refine the spiritual treasures and sort out his own Great Dao and magical power. He could definitely leap from the strongest group of the third tier to the first tier and stand shoulder to shoulder with Taiyi and Laozi!
Tens of thousands of years is neither a long nor a short time, but for these top-tier supernatural beings in the prehistoric world, this amount of time is meaningless. Sometimes, traveling through the prehistoric world may take more than this amount of time.
And... the Heaven-Covering Pearl?
"A top-grade innate spiritual treasure?" Styx was somewhat surprised, but after a careful examination, he understood. This treasure had the ability to conceal the secrets of heaven, which was its only function. After refining it, one could shield the secrets of heaven according to one's own wishes.
Unless someone captures him and searches his soul, even a sage cannot discover what he wants to hide by simply deducing the secrets of heaven.
"Not bad," Styx thought to himself. In a way, this system is quite intelligent. Although it found the wrong host in the wrong timeline, it still gave him a magical artifact that could conceal the secrets of heaven. It's really good.
"But that's all there is to it." Styx sighed. The rewards for the side quest seemed generous, but in reality, they were only given because of completing the two most important points: first, leaving Zixiao Palace, and second, getting rid of the Fallen Saint Pill. The rewards for reaching the Great Dao would definitely not be as generous.
After all, this system is evaluated based on the standards of the future Sage of Heaven.
To compete for the title of Pangu's true lineage means to challenge the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. To revitalize a great religion means to compete with the Humans, the Chan, the Jie, and the Western Sects in the era of sage rule after the Wu-Yao Calamity. In the prehistoric world, this is not an easy task to solve.
"Let me refine the spiritual treasure first and sort out my own Great Dao." With this in mind, Styx stopped thinking and sat cross-legged on the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to begin refining the newly obtained spiritual treasure. At the same time, he comprehended the Great Dao of Slaughter on the God-Slaying Spear and the Great Dao of Slaughter and Sword on the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc.
And just like that, 30,000 years passed in the blink of an eye.
Above the sea of blood, Styx opened its eyes once more.
At this moment, he stood atop the sea of blood atop the twelfth-grade karmic fire lotus, his feet treading on the crimson lotus. With a flick of his wrist, the Yuan Tu Sword appeared in his palm, humming and trembling. Crimson light spread from the sword's spine, and the void shattered where the sword's edge pointed. Above the sea of blood, countless vengeful souls howled and wailed.
This sword strike contained 129,600 true killing intents, and the power of its blood-red sword energy almost caused the sea of blood to churn. However, in the end, Styx withdrew his sword intent and did not unleash this strike.
He couldn't have done that sword strike 30,000 years ago, nor could he have blocked it.
In just 30,000 years, he has pushed his own Great Dao and magical power to the extreme under a certain rule of heaven and earth. With the help of the God-Slaying Spear and the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc, in addition to his understanding of the Great Dao of Killing far surpassing his previous understanding, he has also cultivated the Great Dao of Sword.
The Yuan Tu Sword was originally a spiritual treasure born with the Styx River, and it was in sync with the Styx River's mind. It was almost an extension of the Styx River's life. This divine weapon, which was both a spiritual treasure of the sword path and a spiritual treasure of the killing path, also unleashed an unprecedented terrifying power after the Styx River's understanding of killing and the great way of the sword far surpassed what it had been before.
The Styx River is now confident that he can easily defeat his past self from 30,000 years ago. Of course, he can't kill his past self from 30,000 years ago, since he has the Blood God Child supernatural power. Unless the entire Netherworld Blood Sea is destroyed, no one can do anything to the Styx River.
