"Hmm." Hongjun nodded, feeling even more satisfied with the Styx River's progress.
It should be noted that the original intention of giving the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Universe Ruler to Styx was to allow him to perform some good deeds, but unexpectedly, Styx understood the meaning so quickly.
There are also the eighteen levels of hell, which are necessary for managing the six realms of reincarnation in the future. The Styx River is truly remarkable. Based on this, Hongjun deduced that the Styx River already has some rules for managing the countless wronged souls in the Netherworld Blood Sea.
The cycle of reincarnation is still incomplete and needs further improvement, but the Styx River, who possesses the Great Dao of Reincarnation, can definitely accomplish all of this with ease. However, for Hongjun, the Wu Clan undoubtedly needs to be more careful in their calculations.
However, compared to letting the Styx River, who was absolutely loyal to him, take charge of reincarnation, Hongjun felt that making this small change to his plan was still worthwhile.
"Ah!!!" Upon hearing Haotian's words, the Kunpeng primordial spirit let out a desperate roar amidst the raging karmic flames atop the twelfth-grade karmic fire lotus.
The many punishments described by Styx were so cruel that even he, a powerful being known for his ferocity, found them cruel. What made Kunpeng even more desperate was that he feared he would have to endure endless torment in the Netherworld Blood Sea for countless years to come.
And the karmic fire that was currently burning him, Kunpeng could feel that his cultivation level, the cultivation level he was most proud of, was rapidly declining due to the burning of the karmic fire, just as his primordial spirit had become the nourishment for the burning of the karmic fire and the development of the twelfth-grade karmic fire red lotus.
At the same time, the other powerful beings also looked at the Styx River with eyes full of apprehension.
Kunpeng was considered one of the few powerful beings among the three thousand guests of Zixiao, much stronger than the vast majority of other powerful beings. However, at this moment, Kunpeng was powerless to fight back against the Styx River, and even his death was not peaceful.
Their primordial spirits suffered the torment of being burned in the karmic fire, coupled with the terrifying punishments of the eighteen levels of hell, which truly made them fearful.
Yuanshi, seeing this scene, could no longer tolerate it.
In particular, he had hoped that Haotian would come to resolve the conflict, but looking at Haotian, who was standing on the seventh-grade karmic fire lotus platform and chatting and laughing with the Styx River, Yuanshi felt that this disciple of his own teacher did not seem like someone who would solve problems.
It's as if they've been bribed by the River Styx and are now colluding with it!
"Haotian, I think we should consider the matter of Hell more carefully."
"You might as well petition the teacher first and see what the teacher decides." Yuanshi suppressed his anger and looked at Haotian, who was currently talking with the Styx River.
As for Kunpeng, Yuanshi didn't care. He only had himself to blame for falling into the hands of the Styx. After all, the Three Pure Ones hadn't asked Kunpeng to help; it was all Kunpeng's own choice.
"Brother Yuanshi, please don't be offended. This is what the master means."
"Furthermore, Senior Brother Yuanshi, weren't you 'confined' by the Master? Why don't you hurry back to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate your mind and body?" Haotian looked at Yuanshi, his brows furrowing, but quickly relaxed, and smiled at Yuanshi.
Deep down, Haotian felt that Yuanshi's decision to stand up and question him at this moment was indeed somewhat problematic.
Without the consent of a sage, how could he dare to act on his own initiative regarding such a momentous matter, which would at least affect the entire prehistoric world?
So what are you, Yuanshi, doubting now?
Does he doubt Haotian's loyalty to Hongjun?
I could tell, but I was still dissatisfied with Hongjun's decision?
Considering Yuanshi's defiance of Hongjun in Zixiao Palace, Haotian felt there was no need to explain to Yuanshi himself. After all, Yuanshi was a direct descendant of Pangu and a disciple of his master. Moreover, Yuanshi dared to defy his master, let alone him.
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi was furious, and the three gods of the household became enraged. Among them, the evil corpse was the most active. If given some more time, he would probably be able to slay the evil corpse and become a quasi-saint of the first corpse.
Why was he so angry? Because Haotian's words were undoubtedly stepping on his landmines and "dancing" against him.
His teacher was so benevolent, how could he agree to such a cruel suggestion as establishing eighteen levels of hell? Moreover, it was Styx who clearly wanted to use public office for private gain and take revenge on Kunpeng.
If this hell were truly established, how could the living beings of the primordial world ever have a peaceful day?
Is this the intention of their master, or are you, a mere disciple, falsely conveying the decree of Hongjun?
Furthermore, Hongjun's actual order to him was "confinement," but he also used the pretense of having him go into seclusion, precisely because he was concerned about Yuanshi's face-saving personality among the Three Pure Ones. But now, even this last fig leaf has been torn away by Haotian, how could Yuanshi not be furious!?
"How dare you! I am the disciple of the Dao Ancestor, and you are merely his attendant. How are you qualified to address me as 'fellow disciples'?" Yuanshi looked at Haotian, furious, and rebuked him.
Haotian addressed Styx as fellow Daoist, and now he also addresses me as fellow disciple. Doesn't that mean that Yuanshi and Styx are on the same level? Doesn't that mean that I, Yuanshi, a true descendant of Pangu, am on the same level as you, Haotian, a mere child?
This is intolerable! Absolutely intolerable!
He, Yuanshi, was a true descendant of Pangu, of noble birth and high moral character. How could he be compared to a mere mortal like the Styx River, born from a sea of blood?
How can we compare them to treacherous officials?
Upon hearing this, Haotian's expression changed.
This is a real insult to him.
Why can't we address each other as fellow Daoists?
You, Yuanshi, are both Great Luo Golden Immortals, and so am I, Haotian. Why can't we address each other as fellow Daoists? It's true that you, Yuanshi, are my disciple, but after listening to the Dao, you must leave Zixiao Palace. What about him?
In Zixiao Palace, who among Hongjun's own people is he not aware of?
Moreover, because of the respect Styx had shown him before, Haotian had an even greater need for respect. After all, even someone with Styx's cultivation, merit, and power respected Haotian, so how dare you insult me like this?
Moreover, he came to deliver a decree on behalf of his master. Right here outside Zixiao Palace, how dare you, Yuanshi, insult him, the Dao Ancestor's attendant? Do you even respect Hongjun?
If you have the will of Hongjun behind you and can suppress it, wouldn't that make the sage lose face?
What will his master think? Will he, as a servant, be able to do it again next time something happens?
"Those eighteen levels of hell are acts that harm living beings. I don't believe you can't see it. The Styx River did this evil deed that angered both heaven and man in order to humiliate and retaliate against Kunpeng, and incidentally shake the prehistoric world."
How could the teacher possibly agree to such an absurd proposal?
In my opinion, it is because you accepted a bribe from Styx that you are here falsely conveying the Master's decree and colluding with Styx from both inside and outside!
Do you know the consequences of doing this?!
"I want to see my teacher! I want to see my teacher!" After saying this, Yuanshi prepared to return to Zixiao Palace.
