Chapter 15 Yuanshi: Why is the River Styx so sinister?
Since transmigrating to this world, Styx's purpose has been incredibly simple: to cultivate great supernatural powers and magical strength, and if he can attain the Great Luo of the Primordial Chaos, he will. If he cannot, he will wait until after the Investiture of the Gods, when the saints will be unable to enter the Primordial World, and then he can live a carefree and happy life.
Of course, if it could improve his cultivation, strength, and foundation, he would absolutely not let it go.
After all, with the Netherworld Blood Sea at his back and 480 million Blood God Sons, killing Styx was indeed no easy task.
As for the powerful beings, including the sage Hongjun, the goal was to cultivate good relationships with them whenever possible.
Make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.
A group of powerful beings left Zixiao Palace. At this moment, they saw Dongwanggong, who had been appointed by Hongjun as the head of the male immortals, leaning on his dragon-headed staff and calling to his friends.
Moreover, quite a few powerful figures did choose to talk to the Eastern King Duke. Some of them were old friends of the Eastern King Duke, while others valued the fact that the Eastern King Duke had the endorsement of a sage and was now acting as the law enforcer on behalf of Heaven.
Styx shook his head. For him, the most urgent task was to return to the Blood Sea, complete his plan, and earn more merit and fortune. However, just as Styx was about to set off, he felt a sudden urge and an opportunity was about to arise.
"Oh?" Styx immediately headed toward the direction of the opportunity he had sensed.
And the place where that opportunity lay... was Mount Buzhou.
"At this point in time..." Styx had already guessed something in his heart. After a little deduction, he knew where the opportunity lay: the innate gourd vine!
After a moment's thought, Styx activated his supernatural powers, increasing his speed even more than before.
In the original story, the seven gourds on the gourd vine were divided among a group of powerful beings, while the gourd vine, the soil that nurtured it, and the divine water of the three lights were taken away by Nuwa, who later accomplished the merit of creating humans.
However, the Styx River did not gain anything from this battle for the gourd.
"I may not be able to get the gourd, but I can try to figure out if I can get my hands on the innate gourd vine, the Breath Soil, and the Three Lights Divine Water. They might come in handy in the future," Styx thought to himself.
"Where is the Styx?" Tongtian asked, holding the Qingping Sword, searching everywhere.
"Such fast movements." Seeing that Styx had already disappeared, Yuanshi silently put away the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and sighed inwardly.
The Styx River can share a portion of Pangu's fortune... This is no ordinary being, so we must strike hard.
"My two virtuous brothers, please don't do this," Lao Tzu said silently at this moment.
"It was through flattery that the Styx caused the sage to slip up and lose a portion of his fortune," Yuanshi said, bowing respectfully to Laozi.
In fact, Yuanshi's mind was not so narrow, but since it concerned the fate of Pangu, it was something that could not be taken lightly.
This is a point where the Three Pure Ones absolutely cannot back down.
"Second brother, be careful what you say." Laozi looked at Yuanshi. Although they possessed great merit and fortune, it was really inappropriate for them to criticize the sage.
"Since the Styx River has such intentions, it will surely reveal its weaknesses in the future. The most urgent task is to retrieve that opportunity." Laozi looked at Yuanshi and Tongtian and continued.
They all sensed that an opportunity belonging to them was at Buzhou Mountain, and they should go and retrieve it. As for the Styx River... they'd deal with it another time, after all, this one has 480 million Blood God Children...
We can't really evaporate the Netherworld Blood Sea, can we?
Immediately afterwards, the Three Pure Ones also headed towards Mount Buzhou.
Meanwhile, a host of powerful figures, including Fuxi, Nuwa, Dijun, Taiyi, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi, also went to the scene. In fact, the number of powerful figures participating in this "battle" for the gourd vine was quite large.
……
The innate restrictions trembled, and seven-colored precious energy surged like a dragon breaking through the sea, soaring straight to the heavens. Deep within the secluded valley, seven uniquely colored gourds appeared and disappeared among the vines, subtly echoing the Big Dipper's alignment, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. The mountain wind swept across the jade-like rock walls, creating a clear, shattering sound like jade shattering.
Before long, a group of powerful figures arrived at the place.
One after another, powerful beings such as the Three Pure Ones, Fuxi, Nuwa, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, Dijun, and Taiyi arrived at this valley.
Styx also arrived here. To be honest, compared to other powerful beings, Styx was half a step ahead.
At this moment, the two sides were in conflict. Fuxi and Nuwa's auras were connected, and they warily looked at the powerful figures around them. Nuwa could vaguely sense that there was an opportunity of great importance to her today, which she could not miss.
The Earth Book appeared around Zhen Yuanzi, attracting boundless earth vein power and protecting Hongyun behind him. At this moment, many powerful figures gathered here, which could easily lead to a chaotic battle, and anything could happen in the midst of such a battle.
Such examples are not uncommon in the primordial world.
Taiyi held the Chaos Bell in his hand, the bell's surface engraved with the stars of the heavens. Dijun had also summoned the Hetu and Luoshu, and the illusory image of the golden crow of the great sun drew upon the boundless true fire of the sun, making people dare not approach.
The three Pure Ones did not take out any spiritual treasures, but just standing there made people feel that they were unchallengeable. As the transformation of Pangu's primordial spirit, the three of them originally carried Pangu's inheritance and had a profound foundation. They were the most profound beings besides the Chaos Demon God who entered the prehistoric world. Now, they have also received Hongjun's teachings, which greatly increased their understanding of the Great Dao and their magical power.
Styx stood silently in place, neither taking out any magical treasures to prepare for battle nor releasing any aura.
In fact, Styx had the confidence to back it up. Although he was alone, he was definitely not the weakest among the various forces on the field.
Moreover, Styx wasn't originally after the treasure gourds. Having them would be a bonus, but not having them wouldn't be a big deal. Although six of the seven treasure gourds were top-grade innate spiritual treasures, compared to the opportunity to share in the merit of creating humans, a few spiritual treasures were insignificant.
At this moment, in addition to the group of powerful beings who arrived first, many more powerful beings who sensed the opportunity are also heading towards this place.
"Gentlemen, there are few spiritual treasures but many powerful cultivators. A bloodbath is inevitable." Upon seeing this, Taiyi decisively turned around, preparing to intimidate the group of powerful cultivators who had arrived later.
Taiyi is confident in his own strength, but once the melee begins, he will inevitably be taken advantage of.
His terrifying aura was like a blazing sun, making it difficult for many powerful beings to breathe. Immediately, Zhen Yuanzi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Fuxi and other powerful beings joined forces to release their auras, preparing to scare away the powerful beings who arrived later.
One less person means one less problem.
Before long, with the combined efforts of the most powerful among the three thousand guests of Zixiao, the powerful figures who arrived later were almost all driven away, leaving only a few who dared to watch from afar.
"Everyone, we, the Three Pure Ones, are the true descendants of Pangu. We should have a share of the spiritual treasures here." A gentle breeze rose from the tip of a ripple on the palm of Tongtian, and he looked at the other powerful beings present, speaking calmly.
