Chapter 54 Di Jiang: Styx, tell me, what should we do?
By this point, Dijiang was almost completely convinced by Styx.
Because Styx has indeed analyzed the many problems facing the Wu Clan clearly, both long-term and short-term, and Styx's arrival today most likely brings solutions.
Now, it all depends on the conditions of the River Styx.
"The conflict between the Styx River and the Three Pure Ones can be exploited!" Houtu thought to herself. As one of the more intelligent of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Houtu suddenly realized this possibility.
From the very beginning, Houtu had been pondering the purpose of Styx's visit. However, considering the already heated conflict between Styx and the Three Pure Ones, Houtu believed that she roughly understood Styx's intentions.
However, Houtu was not averse to this, and even welcomed it. The reason was simple: although they were all descendants of Pangu, the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were like pure qi and turbid qi, with an irreconcilable conflict.
If neither of them were truly helpless against the other, and if they weren't both protected by the merits of creation, they would have destroyed each other long ago. After all, they were genuinely vying for the title of the true lineage of Pangu and the immeasurable fortune contained within it.
"Fellow Daoist Styx was born from the Netherworld Blood Sea, so in a sense, he is related to us by blood."
"Now that you've come, you must have a way to solve our Wu tribe's problem?" Houtu looked at the Styx River, her tone softening slightly, and said with a smile.
"Well, my true form is outside the Pangu Temple. Since you are all interested, then come and find my true form." Styx looked at the five Ancestral Witches in front of him. This avatar turned into blood light and dissipated from the Pangu Temple.
Of course, he couldn't enter the Pangu Temple in his true form. He didn't even send the Blood God Child. He simply condensed an avatar and entered the Pangu Temple.
"Brother, the Styx City is quite cunning, could it be—" Zhu Jiuyin looked at Di Jiang with some worry.
"Let's go and hear what methods he has!" Dijiang shook his head. There are many more cunning people in the prehistoric world. As long as it can bring enough benefits to the Wu clan and help them unify the prehistoric world, it doesn't matter.
Not long after, outside Buzhou Mountain, Styx and the five Ancestral Witches, including Dijiang, gathered together. Styx had already explained the Way of the Earth Immortals to the Ancestral Witches.
"There is such a 'Dao'?" Di Jiang was greatly surprised as he analyzed the Dao of the Earth Immortals that the Styx River had told them.
He was not worried that Styx would deceive him. At the same time, as the head of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the de facto leader of the Witch Clan, Dijiang also knew the role of the emergence of the Earth Immortal Path for the Witch Clan. It should be known that the Witch Clan was naturally extremely compatible with the primordial land and had a close connection with it. The Witch Clan's method of improving itself was to use baleful energy to temper their own physical body.
If the Wu Clan had the ability to connect themselves with the primordial earth veins, then without a doubt, the cultivation speed of the Wu Clan, including the Twelve Ancestral Witches, would be greatly improved. Moreover, according to Styx, they could also gain merit in the process of managing the earth veins, which indirectly solved another problem for the Wu Clan.
The expansion of the Wu tribe was accompanied by bloodshed, and unbridled killing could not help but bring karma. However, this karma was insignificant compared to the merits of the Wu tribe in creating the world. And since the Wu tribe was in a period of rising fortune, that little bit of karma was really not worth their attention.
To give an analogy, the Witch Clan enhances its fortune through expansion, much like filling a pool with water while simultaneously releasing water. The water released comes from the fortune brought about by the expansion, while the water released comes from the karma created by the Witch Clan.
However, if the Wu Clan has a path to earn merit through the Earth Immortal Path, then they will no longer have to worry about karma. It's like blocking the previous channel for releasing water and even adding another channel for filling water.
Moreover, the Wu clan, who are connected with the earth's veins, will become the "masters" of many earth veins in the prehistoric land, and thus become the rulers of those regions. This is of great benefit to the Wu clan's unification of the prehistoric land. Furthermore, compared to before, now, those beings cannot even sense that they are being ruled by the Wu clan. By the time they realize it, the Wu clan has already achieved its great power.
Since the Wu tribe is connected to the earth's veins, they can naturally use the earth's veins to enhance themselves. In this way, they don't even need to worry about blood offerings, since the effect of blood offerings is far less than the evil energy in the earth's veins.
"Then, Fellow Daoist Styx, what is the price?" Di Jiang looked at Styx, appearing before him in the form of an innate Dao body, and asked.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Such a generous gift, perfectly suited to the Wu tribe, will likely come at a price that will not be easy for them.
"The Wu clan who cultivate this path of Earth Immortals shall henceforth refer to themselves as Earth Immortals," Styx said calmly. In this way, his title as the ancestor of Earth Immortals was confirmed, and he would naturally receive merit and fortune. The rest was no longer his concern.
"It's just a title, no problem, is that all?" Dijiang even felt that Styx was asking for too little.
Houtu pondered, "An earth immortal?"
Immortal?
How can the Wu tribe, who lack a primordial spirit, become immortals?
But that's perfect!
If all the earth veins of the primordial land could be bound to the Wu clan, then the deficiency of not having a primordial spirit would not be a problem, and an earth immortal would be fine!
Even the noble Wu clan knows that the path of immortality is the mainstream of the future of the primordial world. If that's the case, what is there to be dissatisfied about?
"I have already told you the method. In that case, I will take my leave." Styx looked at the ancestral witches in front of him, not intending to linger at Buzhou Mountain any longer. He turned and left, returning to the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Are those eighteen levels of hell still waiting for him to oversee their construction?
Moreover, the path to becoming an Earth Immortal is not exclusive to the Wu Clan. Or rather, it's just that the Wu Clan is surprisingly compatible with the Earth Immortal path. In fact, this was originally a path for all living beings in the primordial world. Once the Wu Clan has established the reputation of the Earth Immortal path, it is estimated that many more beings will also embark on the path of Earth Immortals.
After Styx left, the ancestral witches present all looked at each other.
"They just left like that?" Xuanming asked in disbelief.
The way Styx left so decisively at this moment made several Ancestral Witches a little uneasy, especially Xuanming, who had witnessed Styx's methods with Houtu outside Zixiao Palace.
She found it hard to believe that, with Styx's methods, he hadn't taken the opportunity to cut a large chunk of flesh off the Witch Clan.
From the perspective of the Wu Clan, Styx gave too much and asked for too little. Combined with Styx's cunning and calculating nature over the years, this was something they could hardly imagine.
"Or perhaps, what we are doing is exactly what Styx wants us to do. What he wants, he has already obtained from the moment we accepted the path of the Earth Immortals," Houtu said in a low voice.
"Girl, don't say such creepy things." Zhu Rong felt a chill upon hearing Hou Tu's words.
