Chapter 170 The Styx River Establishes Taoism, All Beings Are Astonished
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, where is the Sage Nuwa?" At this moment, Laozi looked at Fuxi and asked.
For some reason, he had a vague, very bad feeling in his heart, as if some extremely important opportunity was about to leave him.
At this moment, the primordial calamity was surging too violently, and the secrets of heaven could no longer be deduced. Laozi felt a sense of powerlessness and helplessness, as he could only watch others take away his important opportunity.
This feeling made him so preoccupied that he couldn't even think about the decline in the fortunes of the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan.
In his haste, Laozi chose to first inquire about the whereabouts of Nuwa. Nuwa was a sage and the creator of humankind. At this moment, he had this feeling. And among the great changes in the primordial world, only the humankind's fortune had surged. Therefore, Laozi felt that his sudden feeling was probably related to humankind.
Whether facing the chaotic secrets of heaven or the soaring fortunes of humanity, if you have any questions, then asking the sage Nuwa is the right thing to do.
Upon hearing this, Fuxi recalled Nuwa's instructions to him, and for a moment he was at a loss, unsure whether to speak or remain silent.
Nuwa created the heavens beyond the sky as a dwelling place for the sages. She had previously instructed him to call upon her if he needed anything, and if not, to consider how to sever his karmic ties with the Heavenly Court, lest the Heavenly Court's fortune turn against him during the great calamity to come.
If it were an ordinary person, receiving such a reminder from a sage would naturally not hesitate and would simply do as the sage instructed. After all, not everyone is qualified to have a sage go to great lengths to save them during a great eon. However, Fuxi was different.
"If we really do this, wouldn't we be harming all of you fellow Daoists?" Fuxi hesitated in his heart, thinking about how to say it to the group of great supernatural beings present, so as not to betray the Heavenly Court and not to disappoint his sister's good intentions.
However, soon, a Heavenly Oath that made Laozi's expression change drastically saved Fuxi from the predicament.
In the human settlement, seeing that the preaching had ended, the Styx River withdrew its thousands of saintly incarnations and then, in the capacity of a saint, swore an oath to the primordial Heavenly Dao.
"Heaven's Way is above, and the Dao Ancestor bears witness."
Now that the River Styx exists here, in accordance with the virtue of Heaven's benevolence and the impartial heart of the Dao Ancestor, I wish to establish a great teaching today to enlighten all living beings in the primordial world.
Today, I have passed down the Great Way of "Humanity" to the human race as a testament. Styx made a vow in the dignity of a sage, and soon after, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and purple aura came from the east. All sorts of strange phenomena symbolizing the identity of a sage dazzled people and manifested in the primordial world.
Even the teachings passed down by the Styx are named after the word "human".
Upon hearing this, the ancient human race, who had just received the teachings from the Styx River, understood perfectly. Now that they had received the teachings from a great master, they all knelt down and were grateful for the kindness of the Styx River's teachings.
"Now there is the River Styx here. I wish to use it as the foundation to establish a great teaching, which I call 'the Way'."
"With the Qiankun Cauldron, the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus, the Gathering Immortal Seal, and the Primordial Measuring Ruler to suppress the Taoist fortune, Taoism shall be established!" Styx continued to swear, since he had many spiritual treasures on him that were capable and qualified to suppress the fortune of a major sect, so he might as well stake them all on.
At this moment, as Styx's voice fell, immeasurable Heavenly Dao merits once again gathered in the sky, eventually settling around Styx. The merits for establishing a religion, especially since it was the first religion established in the prehistoric world with the human race as its foundation, were extremely abundant.
Styx accepted the merit, but this small amount of Heavenly Dao merit was merely one of the rewards given by Heaven after Styx established Taoism.
Before long, strange light rose again in the primordial world, and two great seals containing boundless treasures appeared in the primordial world.
Firstly, there is the Gathering Immortal Seal, which was forged by the Dao Ancestor. This Gathering Immortal Seal symbolizes the path to becoming a human immortal.
The other is the Dong Seal, a supreme treasure of humanity. Holding this seal not only allows one to enjoy the fortune of the human race, but also has an unparalleled influence on the future development of the human race.
Especially in matters of great importance to the human race, such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, holding the Dong Seal allows one to act as a player in the strategic planning.
Across immeasurable space and time, the two newly born seals were held in Styx's palm. In an instant, Styx, who felt that he was blessed with immeasurable fortune, looked at the primordial world again and felt a sense of exhilaration.
"I'm about to break through." Styx sensed the loosening of his cultivation. With this boost of luck, he was one step closer to the second level of the Primordial Golden Immortal.
The path of sages and Primordial Golden Immortals is like this: if one has sudden enlightenment, or receives great merit and good fortune, one can make a breakthrough in a short time. If not, even after countless years of hard work, one can only accumulate some magical power and make little progress in cultivation.
With the added blessing of his saintly status, Styx's combat power will undoubtedly reach an unprecedented level after his breakthrough in cultivation. However—this is actually not important. After all, for Styx now, he still cannot defeat Hongjun, who has already achieved Dao, and others were not his match before their breakthroughs.
At this moment, the system, which had been silent for many days, once again provided feedback to Styx.
[Congratulations, host! After countless years of hardship, you have finally re-established your great religion.]
Main quest two has been completed.
Side quest completed.
[Congratulations! You have received the merger reward: Inheritance of the Great Dao of Power (Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm)]
"The inheritance of the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm?"
"Could it be a Pangu inheritance?" Upon seeing this, Styx accepted the inheritance while playing with the newly acquired Kongtong Seal and Juxian Seal.
"This reward is quite generous. With this reward, the speed of my cultivation will greatly increase." Styx pondered. After roughly browsing through the contents of the inheritance, Styx felt that before the Great Tribulation of the Gods, he might not be without the ability to fight against the Dao Ancestor.
Of course, whether it will come to that point is another matter, but whether he has the ability to do so is also very important.
"Also, shouldn't the side quest have been completed long ago?" Styx thought carefully for a moment. The side quest only said that he should obtain the cultivation level of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. This standard is based on the Tongtian standard. Logically speaking, it should have been completed long ago.
He was at the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal and a Dao-Merging Saint. In terms of cultivation, his starting point was even higher than that of Tongtian at his peak. There's no reason why the side quest is only now being completed.
However, thinking about this not-so-intelligent system, Styx had a premonition: could the system have linked the establishment of a religion and the attainment of sainthood together?
After all, for the Three Pure Ones, who were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, it was their innate duty to educate all living beings in the prehistoric world, a duty that was closely related to their path of cultivation.
If the system truly regards him as Tongtian, then all of this is entirely possible, because at this moment, the Styx, who established a great religion, has finally been recognized as a saint by the system.
"That's good too." For Styx, receiving a side quest later and being able to inherit the Great Dao of Power is a very beneficial thing for his path.
