Chapter 156 Proving the Dao at the Styx River, Laying the Foundation for the Era of Saints (2)
The Styx River did not stagnate in the slightest. The primordial divine light on the Primordial Measuring Ruler was profound and mysterious. It continued downwards, drawing out a second perfect primordial divine light.
"Measure the land!"
This foot, based on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth built by the Styx River, with earth, water, wind, and fire as its supporting elements, divides the universe and lays the foundation.
Where the ruler's edge struck, boundless primordial divine light emanated from its body, and the three thousand Great Daos within the Chaos Pearl continuously manifested. Hundreds of millions of divine lights of laws condensed into a dazzling river of laws, which was then bestowed upon the Styx River.
A Dao Fruit is continuously taking shape within Styx's primordial spirit, and Styx's cultivation level is also being elevated to an unprecedented height once again with the blessing of this unprecedented river of laws.
The primordial divine light emanating from the Primordial Measuring Ruler, empowered by the three thousand Great Daos within the Chaos Pearl, allowed the earth of the world before them to take shape. The three thousand Great Daos, carrying numerous elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, began to manifest all things within the already formed world.
There was something as clear and pure as flawless glass, which, carrying earth, water, wind, and fire, broke free from the heavy shackles of chaos, soared upwards, and transformed into a boundless, clear, and shimmering blue sky with the faint light of stars.
There was something turbid and heavy, like the ancient black and yellow of eternity, carrying the immense power of creation, which crashed down and manifested the myriad mountains, rivers and seas on the earth. At the same time, it also nurtured life on the earth. Before long, life will be born in this new world.
The Styx River stood alone between this nascent, turbulent world.
The opportunity to attain enlightenment is now!
"To be in harmony with the Way of Heaven!"
The three thousand Great Daos within the Chaos Pearl had already converged into a prototype of the Heavenly Dao of a world. Now, combined with the Styx River, the Heavenly Dao of this new world has been fully formed. At the same time, the Dao Fruit that was condensing within the Styx River's primordial spirit has also been fully formed.
It became.
He has finally achieved the Great Golden Immortal of Primordial Chaos!
Styx's figure instantly became both incredibly majestic and incredibly illusory. At this moment, in the newly created world within the Chaos Pearl, Styx clearly felt his "presence" beginning to dissolve, but it was not annihilation; rather, it was infinitely spreading, permeating, and imprinting itself.
In some ways, Styx felt that his current state was similar to Hongjun's merging with the Dao, but there were also differences.
Compared to Hongjun's merging with the Dao, the world within the Chaos Pearl was created by Styx himself. Although it is far weaker than the primordial world, it has the advantage of being completely under Styx's control.
The world within this Chaos Pearl, the will of the Styx River, is the will of Heaven!
The Dao Fruit of the Styx is the fundamental law governing the operation of this world!
"The first level of the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm, is this what it feels like to be a Primordial Golden Immortal Realm?" Feeling his current state, Styx smiled slightly. This was a feeling that was completely different from before.
At this moment, Styx had a deeper understanding of the saying that all people below the level of a sage are like ants. For example, if he were to face the Zhou Tian Star Array again, he could break it with a single thought. Moreover, in that single thought, he had countless ways to break the Zhou Tian Star Array.
But—it's not over yet. When the world is created, there will be a reward of merit. This merit is not the merit of the Heavenly Dao, but the merit of the Great Dao.
Within the Chaos Pearl, an immeasurable will descended. Before long, an extremely vast expanse of golden light of merit condensed from the newly formed world within the Chaos Pearl. Ultimately, it split in two, with one part (eighty percent) falling onto Styx and being collected by him.
The Styx River is all too familiar with the wondrous uses of the Great Dao's merits.
The other 20% fell onto the Primordial Measuring Ruler, elevating this acquired treasure of merit to a new level. At the same time, it also acquired the identity of a treasure for creating the world and proving the Dao.
"Follow me, you won't regret it." Styx smiled as he put away the Primordial Measuring Ruler. In the current prehistoric world, the Primordial Measuring Ruler's achievements far surpassed those of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda in Laozi's hands. Spiritual treasures possess spirits, and at this moment, the Primordial Measuring Ruler and Styx were as close as one.
At the same time, Styx took out the Primordial Purple Qi, preparing to prove his Dao and become a saint.
With the body of a Primordial Golden Immortal, it would be difficult for him to travel between the prehistoric world. Although he possessed the merits of the Great Dao and the immeasurable merits of the creation of the world, it would not be a problem for him to travel between the prehistoric world even if he forced himself to do so. But why doesn't he prove the Dao and become a saint?
From then on, it was perfectly legitimate for him to roam the primordial world; to disrespect the Styx River was to disrespect the sage.
What? If one attains sainthood and entrusts their primordial spirit to the Primordial Heavenly Dao, they will become a slave to the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
This is similar to the Investiture of the Gods, where the dead beings were listed on the Investiture of the Gods list. Their bodies were formed from the Investiture of the Gods list, so they were naturally subject to its control and controlled by others. Moreover, their path to the Great Dao was cut off, and their cultivation could never make any further progress.
Those who achieve physical sainthood are undoubtedly much freer. The only constraints on them are luck, merit, and opportunity. Once they have enough skill, improving their cultivation level will come naturally.
Saints are far more noble than the gods conferred by the Investiture of the Gods, but the principles are largely the same. Take Zhunti and Jieyin as examples. They were quasi-saints, and they became Great Luo Golden Immortals with the power of Hunyuan Golden Immortal by severing the three corpses. Their method of becoming saints was a combination of severing the three corpses and becoming saints through merit.
Alternatively, it wouldn't be a problem to define the path to sainthood for the Six Sages of Destiny as achieving sainthood through merit, since the method of severing the three corpses accounts for a very small proportion of their path to sainthood.
The merits of Zhunti and Jieyin in achieving sainthood are even borrowed from the Heavenly Dao. Such saints are not subject to the control of the Heavenly Dao, which is truly unreasonable.
The River Styx is different.
Styx is now a genuine Grand Luo Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos. To become a saint, he only needs to simply entrust his primordial spirit to the Primordial Heavenly Dao through the Primordial Purple Qi. What's so special about that?
This is called physical sanctification.
Moreover, Styx becoming a saint is not a burden for the Primordial Heavenly Dao, but a blessing. At that time, not only will it not consume merit, but the Primordial Heavenly Dao will also have to give Styx merit.
Thinking of this, Styx disappeared from the world within the Chaos Pearl and reappeared in the primordial world. The primordial purple energy trembled. On the other side, Styx was also enlightened.
Before long, the Primordial Purple Qi had transformed into a connection between the Styx Primordial Spirit and the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
A mysterious and immense power was bestowed upon Styx.
The Three Thousand Laws manifested like a golden dragon soaring in the sky, with flowers falling from the heavens and golden lotuses emerging from the earth. At this moment, Styx sat upright on the nine-layered cloud platform, with stars hanging upside down in his eyes. With a single thought, all the laws of nature merged, and profound sounds resounded throughout the primordial world.
The auspicious clouds of the heavens combined with the righteous energy of heaven and earth, surging and churning. The spiritual veins of the universe resonated in unison. In an instant, the holy might spread throughout the primordial world, and trillions of living beings felt the pressure and bowed their heads in worship.
At the foot of Mount Buzhou, in the thirty-three heavens, in the primordial western region, all is like this.
At the same time, boundless golden light of merit condensed in the heavens and finally fell upon Styx. This was a reward for Styx, who, as a Primordial Golden Immortal, blessed the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.
