Chapter 31 The Primordial Golden Immortal, Hongjun's Scheme
At this moment, above the boundless Netherworld Blood Sea, Styx sat in meditation atop the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, digesting all the inheritance he had just received.
At this moment, Styx didn't care what Kunpeng and Yuanshi thought of him. His most urgent task, or rather, his goal from beginning to end, had never changed: to improve his own strength.
Moreover, the newly acquired Chaos Pearl filled Styx with confidence for the future; it was a true treasure for proving one's Dao.
Styx knew perfectly well that in Hongjun's plan, apart from the "Six Heavenly Saints" who would sit on the six futons at the very front of Zixiao Palace, no one else would be able to become a saint. Therefore, Styx was not very motivated at first. Compared to improving his own cultivation, he was more interested in accumulating great merits.
However, when you clearly know that you can attain enlightenment within the Chaos Pearl, it's a completely different and expansive realm.
Styx's current small goal is to reach the limit of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible, and then try to open the heavens and prove the Dao in the Chaos Pearl, so as to raise his own cultivation to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
"The Earthly Inheritance, it's incredibly powerful." While refining the newly acquired spiritual treasure, Styx also digested the newly acquired Earthly Inheritance, and at the same time, he compared it with the Great Dao of Reincarnation, the Great Dao of Soul, and the Great Dao of Blood that he had already cultivated.
At the same time, what surprised Styx even more was that this authentic inheritance also contained the Great Dao of Earth, and even the Dao of Earth Immortals.
A group of innate demon gods were born to pursue the Dao. As their understanding of the Great Dao became more and more profound, even though under the current Heavenly Dao, the limits of all living beings were restricted to the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, Styx was still able to slowly improve himself, exploring step by step where the so-called limit really was.
Whether it was the great merits he had accumulated, or the immense fortune he had gained as the progenitor of the Primordial Scriptures, the progenitor of Ghost Immortals, and the creator of the Asura race, all of these factors had made the path of the Styx smoother.
I don't know the difference between severing the three corpses to become a Quasi-Saint and directly attaining the Primordial Golden Immortal, but there is no doubt that if one truly wants to attain the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal within the Chaos Pearl, the method of severing the three corpses alone is definitely not enough.
"We must find a way to attain the Primordial Golden Immortal realm." Styx was famous for his calm and meticulous planning.
At this moment, the sword and killing techniques that Styx comprehended from the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation, as well as the Great Dao of Reincarnation that combines the inheritance of the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the inheritance of the Chaos Demon God, undoubtedly point directly to the realm above the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Now, as Shandu City was built by the Ghost Immortals and the Asura Clan during a great eon, the strength of the Asura Clan and the Ghost Immortals has increased, and the Styx River, which can share a portion of the fortune from it, has naturally risen accordingly.
On his path of cultivation, there were several times when, as his cultivation improved and he gained new merits and fortune, Styx felt that the bottleneck that had been trapping him was showing signs of loosening. In terms of the Great Dao and fortune, Styx believed that, after accumulating several times, including the fortune of the Ancestor of Ghost Immortals and the Ancestor of Primordial Literature, he should not be inferior to the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Primordial Qilin who founded the three innate races.
However, all of them are now suppressed by the current Heavenly Dao.
Clearly, the difficulty of attaining the Primordial Golden Immortal realm in this era is vastly different from that in the previous great calamity.
Moreover, during the last great calamity, few of those Primordial Golden Immortals attained enlightenment through their own comprehension. Most of them either relied on the merits and fortunes of creating their race or on the merits and fortunes gained from slaying rebellious gods.
Even they are like this, so it is truly unrealistic for Styx to rely solely on himself to attain enlightenment.
"No wonder there hasn't been a single Primordial Golden Immortal in this entire era." Styx sighed. Besides the interruption of the lineage, with everyone's inheritance only reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Heavenly Dao was also a major reason.
Combined with the prevalence of the Three Corpses Severing Method, "Time waits for no one. Fine, I'll consume some of my merits." Styx finally made up his mind. He had accumulated so much merit, so consuming some of it to break through the bottleneck set by the Heavenly Dao was a helpless move.
Styx knew that if he waited until the Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao before considering the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal, it would be too late.
Hesitation and timidity will ultimately prevent one from achieving great things.
The bottleneck that had been holding him back had already loosened several times, and even if it needed to be used up, it wouldn't consume much.
As for whether merit or cultivation is more important in the long run, that's a matter of opinion.
Immediately, Styx began to use its accumulated merits to melt the Heavenly Dao. As the merits were invested, the bottleneck that Styx could not break through began to loosen and melt rapidly, and Styx quickly entered a state of enlightenment.
At the same time, the Styx River also began to rapidly verify its own Great Dao, verifying the Great Dao it had cultivated and verified with the current world.
Finally, after consuming a full three million acres of Heavenly Dao merit, the bottleneck that had trapped the Styx River was finally broken. The Styx River's aura surged, and its magical power and Dao both reached the realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
In that instant, all living beings in the entire Netherworld Blood Sea, and even those in the vicinity of it, were overwhelmed by the fortune unintentionally emanating from the River Styx.
Styx: I did it! I did it!
Styx looked up at the sky, preparing to undergo his tribulation. He knew that this great tribulation did not allow the emergence of a Primordial Golden Immortal. This action was against the will of Heaven and would surely bring down a heavenly tribulation. However, after observing for a long time, he did not see any tribulation clouds gathering. Although he was puzzled, he did not wait any longer and went back to consolidate his own cultivation. The second lecture at Zixiao Palace was about to begin.
Although the Primordial Purple Qi had nothing to do with him, the Dao of Severing the Three Corpses could still be used to improve his own cultivation. More importantly, the Dao Ancestor was going to distribute treasures on the Treasure Distribution Cliff. How could he miss that?
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
"A Primordial Golden Immortal? Impressive." Hongjun, who had suppressed a heavenly tribulation for the Styx River, rarely praised him. After all, he was now a saint and the ancestor of the Primordial Dao, and his perspective was different from before. It was quite difficult to receive his praise now.
As a sage of the Heavenly Dao, no one understands better than Hongjun how difficult it is to attain the Primordial Golden Immortal realm in this era. Without the right timing, location, and people, it is not easy to accumulate enough merit and fortune to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and to have enough cultivation to qualify for the breakthrough.
This requires a great deal of personal ability.
So far, aside from these chaotic demons and gods, only a handful of beings in the primordial world have been able to attain the Golden Immortal realm through this method. And now, Styx has undoubtedly surpassed his predecessors in this era.
What's even more remarkable is that, compared to the other three thousand guests of Zixiao, Styx is exceptionally loyal.
The other three thousand guests of Zixiao were either busy improving their own cultivation or expanding their power. Who would have thought of him, the "Dao Ancestor"?
