Chapter 10 The Primordial World is Not Just About Fighting and Killing, It's About Human Relati
Upon entering the Zixiao Palace, the powerful figures naturally noticed the neatly arranged prayer cushions.
Especially the six futons at the very front. Each of the futons placed in the Zixia Palace has a Daoist charm, but only the six futons at the very front can be recognized as special at a glance.
A group of powerful figures rushed forward to scramble for it, but the result was decided in no time.
In the end, the six people who sat on those prayer cushions were the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Hongyun, and Kunpeng.
The remaining powerful beings who failed to obtain a futon did not dare to act recklessly in Zixiao Palace. They could only sense the Daoist energy within the palace and search for a suitable futon.
"Fellow Daoists, thank you for your trouble." At this moment, a voice made all the powerful figures in Zixiao Palace turn their heads.
It was Styx who took out two lotus seeds of the twelfth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, intending to give them to Haotian and Yaochi.
The twelve-petaled lotus platform, the twelve-petaled purple lotus of reincarnation given by the system of unknown origin, and the twelve-petaled black lotus of world destruction in Rahu's hands are unknown to Styx, but the twelve-petaled red lotus of karmic fire in his hands and the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit in the future West can all produce lotus seeds.
If these lotus seeds are cultivated, they can grow into small lotus platforms, which will be an important benefit and symbol of status for many future Buddha-level and Bodhisattva-level leaders in Buddhism.
It can be said that in an era when the Dao Ancestor did not distribute treasures at the Treasure Distribution Cliff, and when spiritual treasures were extremely scarce in the primordial world, even the Three Pure Ones did not possess many innate spiritual treasures. Furthermore, in an era when figures like the Kunpeng had not obtained a single innate spiritual treasure in countless years, these two lotus seeds from the Styx River were not insignificant.
Although the Karmic Fire Red Lotus can produce lotus seeds, the Styx River has neither good soil nor good water, so the lotus platform cannot grow. In addition, due to its personality that prioritizes its own cultivation, the vast majority of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus seeds are refined by the Styx River.
"How can this be? You're too kind, esteemed guest." Haotian pretended to decline, knowing the intricacies of the matter. If he did this in front of all these powerful figures, what would become of his master's reputation?
"Haha, fellow Daoist, please don't be offended."
"I was being presumptuous." Styx looked at Haotian before him, knowing the other's concerns.
He didn't intend to be like other time travelers, immediately becoming enemies with the Three Pure Ones, the Two Buddhas of the West, and Hongjun.
The road ahead is long and arduous; for him now, why make enemies everywhere?
"I was fortunate enough to be born from the blood of Father God Pangu, to guard the land where all souls return, and to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the sea of blood."
"Thanks to the grace of the Father God, I have received a twelfth-grade innate lotus platform. Every now and then, a few lotus seeds will grow. This is just a small gift and is not precious. You two fellow Daoists are overthinking it." Styx looked at Haotian and Yaochi in front of him and said with a smile.
Styx embellished this passage to some extent, after all, he couldn't very well say that he was born from the filth of Pangu's blood and had been holed up in the Netherworld Blood Sea, the most filthy place in the primordial world.
As for receiving the grace of the Father God, which living being in the primordial world does not receive the grace of the Father God?
Upon hearing this, many powerful beings looked towards the Styx River with varying expressions.
"The road ahead is long and arduous, and I will search high and low for the truth. The pursuit of the Way is difficult, as hard as ascending to heaven. The sage is selfless and imparts the Way to us. This is a great grace, a grace akin to being reborn." After saying this, Styx revealed his golden light of merit. Among tens of millions of acres of merit, he separated two acres of Heavenly Dao merit and placed them on the lotus seeds of the two Karmic Fire Red Lotuses.
Kunpeng: ?
Sanqing: ?
The powerful beings: ? ? ?
"Although I am of meager virtue and dare not overstep my bounds, I wish to treat you two fellow Daoists with the respect due to fellow disciples. The sage is selfless, spreading the Dao throughout the primordial world without seeking anything in return. I wish to honor the sage as the 'Dao Ancestor,' and in the years to come, even without a formal title, I will still serve him with the respect due to a disciple."
"My two fellow Daoists, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't refuse it." Styx looked at Haotian and Yaochi before him and said with a smile.
It's just two acres of Heavenly Merit; the Blood God Child will bring back tens of thousands of years' worth of corpses and wronged souls from the West.
"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist." After looking at the radiant red lotus seed of the Karmic Fire, and with the impeccable reason given by the Styx River, Haotian "reluctantly" accepted it.
"I should thank you for accepting this gift, fellow Daoist, to ease my guilt and gratitude."
To my shame, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus produced many lotus seeds, but I was unable to raise them. It is thanks to the virtuous people like you two that they have found a good way out.
"Now I can finally concentrate on listening to the teachings without feeling guilty," Styx said, looking at Haotian and Yaochi before him.
"Fellow Daoist, please." Haotian looked at the Styx River and greeted him solemnly.
The Styx River gave them something they couldn't feel from the other powerful figures in the Purple Cloud Palace: "respect." Even though the other powerful figures marveled at Haotian and Yaochi's cultivation, as people who came to listen to the Dao under the sage's tutelage, they essentially regarded Haotian and Yaochi as "children."
This kind of respect is something everyone appreciates.
"Since you are also a descendant of the Father God Pangu, how can you sit down without someone to guide you?"
"Please." Haotian looked at the Styx River and smiled as he led the way.
Among the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi and Tongtian, and most of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, all showed unusual expressions, but quickly recovered.
What else could the children of the sages say when they spoke?
To refute it, right here in Zixiao Palace?
Moreover, they are merely descendants of Pangu, not the true lineage of Pangu, so there's really no reason for them to be so nervous.
Until the Styx was led to a seat that contained the essence of the Great Dao of Killing, Eating, Soul, Reincarnation, Blood, and Sword.
The Daoist aura on the futon is the Great Dao cultivated by Styx, including the Great Dao of Blood and Slaughter inherited from his predecessor, as well as the Great Dao of Reincarnation obtained from the system.
Styx understood.
"Fellow Daoist Styx, don't rush. What suits you best is the best." Haotian looked at Styx and said something quite profound.
"What you say is very true, fellow Daoist. It is indeed a profound truth. Hearing your words has enlightened me greatly." Styx looked at Haotian and Yaochi in front of him and said. As a transmigrator, he knew the weight of these words.
"We'll be going now." Seeing that Styx had nothing more to say, Haotian and Yaochi greeted him and left.
"Fellow Daoist, you've worked hard." Styx returned the greeting with a smile, and then closed his eyes to rest.
Politeness takes you everywhere, as for whether there are many social customs in the ancient world... just look at the story of Journey to the West and the Great Tribulation to find out.
With this matter settled, Styx was able to close his eyes and rest, but most of the powerful figures in Zixiao Palace could not close their eyes.
What is the most feared thing in a group?
What I fear most is someone who is high-profile and perfect in interpersonal relationships; what I fear even more is... that the other person's perfection creates a stark contrast with my own.
Even if they are called "boys," they are only boys in front of the sages. They are boys in Zixiao Palace, but once they leave Zixiao Palace, are they still called boys?
The group that only sought opportunities and ignored other powerful beings stood in stark contrast to the Styx River.
Styx's actions have put many powerful beings in a precarious position.
Because none of the powerful beings present know what the Sage will think of this scene.
