Chapter 59 Concentrating the Spirit and Gathering Qi
The real trouble for Styx lies not in his cultivation, merits, or his cunning and meticulous scheming, but in the fact that through flattery and other means, he has now gained the deep trust of the Dao Ancestor.
On the day the Dao Ancestor of Zixiao Palace accepted disciples and distributed the Primordial Purple Qi, Styx actually obtained a Primordial Treasure and a top-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. His gains were even greater than those of the Dao Ancestor's disciples. Compared to him, the nominal disciples of the Dao Ancestors, Zhunti and Jieyin, seemed to be just by chance.
Now that the Earthly Immortal Path has emerged, as disciples of the Dao Ancestor, they can all feel the rising fortune of the Immortal Path and the Mysterious Sect. How could the Dao Ancestor not feel it?
If so, wouldn't their saintly teacher have even more faith in Styx?
"The Styx River has gone to any lengths to curry favor with the Dao Ancestor!" Yuanshi was furious, and for a moment, the area around Kunlun Mountain was filled with turbulent winds and clouds, and countless living beings knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
Cooperating with the Wu Clan? How could Styx even think of that? He really isn't afraid of causing chaos in the prehistoric world. If the Wu Clan were to occupy the prehistoric world, how miserable would all the beings in the prehistoric world be? Even Yuanshi doesn't dare to imagine it.
Even when the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin persecuted the creatures of the prehistoric world, they didn't exterminate them all. They would take care of their own lineage and the prehistoric races that had come to their aid!
Thinking of this, Yuanshi immediately wanted to go to Zixiao Palace, or to unite with many powerful beings in the prehistoric world to fight against the Styx River. But soon, Yuanshi realized that he had been confined by the Dao Ancestor.
Lao Tzu closed his eyes in deep thought, his face as calm as a vast ocean, yet containing turbulent waves within.
He had never encountered such an aggressive opponent as Styx before. Before they could figure out a way to turn the tide outside Zixiao Palace, Styx's killing move came again, and this move was an absolutely unsolvable open scheme.
"The Styx River must be eliminated, or the consequences will be endless." Unlike the others, who had already turned most of their attention to the Wu Clan's Yuanshi, Tongtian, and most of the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world, Laozi's gaze remained fixed on the Styx River. In fact, compared to before, Laozi was now paying even more attention to the Styx River.
His vision is limited; the upper limit of the Witch Clan is finite. Even if the Twelve Ancestral Witches refine their bodies to the extreme using evil energy, they still cannot become saints.
At the level of sainthood, their only opponent is the Styx!
Because there was a wisp of primordial purple energy in Styx's hand!
Moreover, the more Styx does this, the more it proves that he is trying to hide something and shift the attention of the entire prehistoric world from him to the Wu tribe.
"Minghe, what a clever scheme, but how could I fall for it so easily?" Laozi thought to himself, secretly alarmed by Minghe's methods.
But what should be done? Lao Tzu was also stumped. Dealing with the Styx was no easy task, especially now that the Styx possessed a wisp of primordial purple energy—
Wait, Primordial Purple Qi!?
Yes.
As long as the Sea of Blood never dries up and the River Styx never dies, it is indeed difficult for him to do anything to the River Styx with his current cultivation level. Even if he gathers the power to defeat the River Styx, it will probably be difficult to completely extinguish it. However, it would be enough to make the River Styx lose its Primordial Purple Qi.
This needs to be planned carefully; we can't rush it.
At this moment, Styx, having reaped a great deal of merit and fortune, disregarded the turbulent world and the various forces at hand, focusing solely on strategizing for his own path within the Netherworld Blood Sea.
He prepared to use the newly acquired Pangu essence blood to condense a body for himself.
It is similar to the previous Blood God Child, but there are also differences.
What they have in common is that, previously, relying on the Law of Blood, Styx used the seawater of the Netherworld Blood Sea to refine 480 million Blood God Children. Each of these 480 million Blood God Children was Styx's physical body, and each could be Styx. Now, this new body, condensed using Pangu's essence blood, will also be a "Blood God Child".
The difference lies in the fact that this body has a limitless future. In terms of value, upper limit, and physical cultivation, it is far superior to those Blood Gods who are condensed by the seawater of the Netherworld Blood Sea!
Styx formed hand seals and stood on the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus, seemingly meditating in seclusion, but in reality, his consciousness was already immersed in the Chaos Pearl.
With his current cultivation level of only the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, he cannot unleash the true power of a treasure like the Chaos Pearl. However, he is confident that he can borrow the chaos within the Chaos Pearl to condense a divine body with the potential to be invincible in the primordial world.
At the same time, taking out the essence blood of Pangu from the Chaos Pearl to condense a divine body was also to conceal the secrets of heaven.
"The essence of Pangu's blood has boundless potential." Styx waved his blood-red Taoist robe, and the Qiankun Cauldron was thrown out by Styx. As Styx continuously poured his magic power into the Qiankun Cauldron, it continued to grow larger and larger. In the end, it was already thousands of feet tall.
Styx retrieved the drop of Pangu's essence blood and put it into the Qiankun Cauldron.
It was described as a drop of essence blood, but in reality it was a huge "drop of blood" that fell into the Qiankun Cauldron, resembling a small sea of blood.
After Pangu created the world and sacrificed himself to create the primordial chaos, his primordial spirit split into three. One part of the spirit combined with the pure energy to become the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, while the other part of the spirit combined with the turbid energy to become the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Logically speaking, turbid energy and malevolent energy are the greatest enemies of living beings. Although they exist in the primordial world, they cannot be used by living beings. If the pure spirit is tainted by malevolent energy, it will cause the spirit to suffer from demonic possession at best, and physical and spiritual destruction at worst. Styx pondered this.
Therefore, in principle, the Twelve Ancestral Witches should not have been born, because the essence blood of Pangu, which was combined with evil energy and turbid energy, should not have developed intelligence.
However, in this world, many things cannot be done according to common sense. Hongyun never expected that she would die tragically because of her kindness in giving up her seat. Her good deed not only failed to bring good results, but also brought about her own demise, didn't it?
The same principle applies to the Styx River today. The combination of Pangu's essence and turbid energy can give birth to great supernatural beings like the Twelve Ancestral Witches. What if Pangu's essence and chaos were combined?
Looking at the "sea of blood" within the Qiankun Cauldron, which exuded waves of Daoist energy, Styx had this thought in his mind.
The Qiankun Cauldron has the power to recreate creation and return the acquired to the innate. He himself also cultivates the Great Dao of Qiankun and has the power to open up a small world and separate a region of purity and turbidity. Given this, it would be a waste of Pangu's essence blood to simply use the Great Dao of Blood to evolve a Blood God Child.
Why not take Pangu's essence and blood as the foundation, combine it with the chaotic energy, and at the same time absorb the pure energy and the turbid energy, use the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Heaven and Earth Cauldron to create again, use the Earth Dao to forge the roots and bones, use the Great Dao of Reincarnation to nourish the spirit, use the Great Dao of Blood to condense the flesh and skin, and use the Great Dao of Food to absorb nutrients?
If it really succeeds, even Styx himself can't imagine how strong he will be!
