Chapter 34 Styx: Oh my god, is the Primordial Purple Qi rushing towards me?
Chapter 34 Styx: Damn it, is the Primordial Purple Qi coming at me? (1)
"The Way of Heaven takes nine as its limit. Including myself, there are at most eight sages."
"If the Nine Saints all appear, it will surely bring about an immeasurable calamity." Hongjun looked at the group of three thousand guests from Zixiao before him, and calmly took out a strand of Primordial Purple Qi, which was also the last strand of Primordial Purple Qi.
Kunpeng's mind went blank as he waited for the Dao Ancestor to continue explaining.
He had already figured it out, or rather, everyone had figured it out by now: the condition for being accepted as a disciple by the Dao Ancestor and receiving a share of the Primordial Purple Qi was to sit on one of the six futons at the very top!
Those who didn't receive the prayer mat in the first place aren't so upset right now; they're just regretting their initial fear of the Three Pure Ones.
Because they were wary of the "rules" and didn't fight desperately for the opportunity, one can imagine how Hongyun and Kunpeng felt at this moment, having once obtained the futon but then lost it.
This is the chance to become a saint.
When Hongyun abdicated, he thought he was only giving up an ordinary opportunity, which would at most affect his comprehension, and he could catch up after a few dozen more years of hard work.
Kunpeng's mind was now twisted, and even with his Great Luo Golden Immortal level of mental state, he was somewhat unstable.
A group of powerful beings were born to pursue the Dao, and the Great Dao was their only goal. However, their hope of achieving this realm was taken away from them by someone else!
At this moment, Kunpeng no longer dared to hate Zhunti and Jieyin, who had become disciples of the Dao Ancestor and future saints. However, if Hongyun had not yielded his position, how could he have been implicated? If it weren't for Hongyun's meddling, no matter how ruthless Zhunti and Jieyin were, they wouldn't have dared to attack him and Hongyun at the same time.
"Hongyun, you deserve to die!" Kunpeng's jealousy and resentment had reached their peak.
At this moment, his extreme hatred for Hongyun had made him let go of his hatred for Zhunti, Jieyin, and even for the Styx River, which had taken away his merit and opportunity in creating characters.
"This last wisp of Primordial Purple Qi—" Hongjun said, looking at the group of powerful beings before him, seemingly caught in a dilemma.
"Dao Ancestor, we brothers were born from the Sun Star. We are willing to serve you as your disciples!" Upon seeing this, Di Jun and Tai Yi immediately knelt down and looked at Hong Jun with fervent anticipation in their eyes.
Hongjun did not reply. This Primordial Purple Qi could not be given to Dijun. A sage—cannot be a Heavenly Emperor who rules over the primordial world.
"Sage, I am the sage who governs all immortals and educates all living beings. The great increase in the fortune of the immortal path during several cycles is proof of this."
"This primordial purple energy is the duty of a sage, and I, a humble immortal, am willing to undertake it." At this moment, the Eastern King Duke also stepped forward, holding the dragon-headed staff in both hands, and respectfully looked at the Dao Ancestor.
Hongjun remained silent; clearly, Dongwanggong was not the right person for him either.
Firstly, Dongwanggong also possesses a supreme destiny. Although he is not as powerful as Dijun, what difference is there between letting him gain power and letting Dijun gain power?
Secondly, the rise in the immortal's fortune during these few cycles seems to have nothing to do with the Eastern King Duke. It was the Styx who opened up the Ghost Immortal Path, created immortal texts, and preached the Dao in the primordial world, sacrificing his own cultivation time to piece together the fortune for the Dao Ancestor who had hardly protected him.
Thirdly, Di Jun knew that at this time, he should be addressed as Dao Ancestor.
"Sage, I—"
"I beg the Sage's mercy; if I were to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, I would surely—"
In Zixiao Palace, many powerful beings knelt down and looked at Hongjun, hoping that he would share some of the Primordial Purple Qi with them. After all, it was their last chance to become saints and their last hope for enlightenment.
If you don't become a saint, you'll always be just an ant.
In the end, apart from the six powerful figures on the six prayer mats at the very front, almost all of the three thousand guests of Zixiao prostrated themselves on the ground, except for... Styx.
The reason why Styx did not kneel down and beg Hongjun to give him the Primordial Purple Qi was very simple. First, he knew that in the end, this Primordial Purple Qi would still fall into Hongyun's hands and become the key to Hongyun's demise.
As for why a sage would scheme to eliminate Hongyun, the Styx River finds it hard to understand, but that's how things were in the primordial world.
Secondly, Styx didn't know if Hongjun's methods were present in this Primordial Purple Qi. If he were to sense the Chaos Pearl, the Heaven-Covering Pearl, or even the hidden fragments of the Creation Jade Disc and the God-Slaying Spear within his primordial spirit—spiritual treasures that were not convenient to reveal at this stage—he would have no way of explaining it.
Seeing that among the three thousand guests of Zixiao, only Styx had not knelt down, Hongjun felt both gratified and heartbroken.
The relief came from the fact that Styx did not kneel down with these people, but instead tried to persuade the sage to also hand over the Primordial Purple Qi to them through pleading and other means.
You should know that before the second lecture at Zixiao Palace, the Styx River, which added bricks and tiles to his name as the Dao Ancestor, opened up the Ghost Immortal Path and created the Immortal Text, was more qualified than anyone else to ask him for this Primordial Purple Qi.
However, Styx did not. In order to reduce the pressure on his body, after some divination of heavenly secrets, Hongjun did not find anything unusual, which further confirmed Hongjun's idea.
After all, who could resist the temptation of becoming a saint? Put yourself in Hongjun's shoes, even he himself could not resist the opportunity to become a saint. Wasn't everything in the previous eon for this position of saint?
Let alone other people?
As for feeling sorry for him, Hongjun was also surprised. How could Styx be so sensible?
"Styx." To everyone's surprise, Hongjun looked at Styx, the only one still sitting peacefully on the futon, and asked with a kind smile, "Don't you want this Primordial Purple Qi?"
This question startled all three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace present.
Even Yuan Shi found it unbelievable.
Before this, the excitement of becoming a disciple of the Dao Ancestor and obtaining the innate treasures Pangu Banner and Hongmeng Purple Qi made him overlook Styx. However, now that he thinks about it, Yuanshi also finds it strange. Styx, this treacherous Marquis, did so many things to please the Dao Ancestor, so why was he so indifferent to the pursuit of Hongmeng Purple Qi?
All three thousand guests of Zixiao looked towards the Styx River.
Why are you all staring at me? I'm waiting to create the world and prove my Dao within the Chaos Pearl. What are you all waiting for?
"Is it the Lich Tribulation or the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?" Styx looked at the group of powerful beings watching him, quite surprised.
However, since Hongjun had asked the question, he naturally had to answer it. Who can't say nice things?
"The Dao Ancestor, with a heart full of great compassion, has imparted the Dao, taught us knowledge, and resolved our doubts. Now he has passed on this method of severing the three corpses, for which I am truly grateful."
These six fellow Daoists are disciples of the Dao Ancestor, and from now on they will be able to serve the Dao Ancestor, which I greatly admire.
But I know that in the heart of the Dao Ancestor lies the vast universe, all living beings in the primordial world. The future of the primordial world rests on the shoulders of the Dao Ancestor. The three Daoist friends, the Three Pure Ones, are the true descendants of Pangu and have the ability to govern the world. Daoist friends Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin also shoulder the heavy responsibility of heaven and earth.
The Dao Ancestor chose them for the future of the primordial world.
"This last wisp of Primordial Purple Qi will surely be bestowed upon a wise and virtuous person by the Dao Ancestor. For the sake of all living beings in the primordial world, with the Dao Ancestor's impartial heart, no matter who this last wisp of Primordial Purple Qi falls into, I am willing to do my utmost to assist the sages in governing the world." Styx looked at Hongjun and said a lot of good things.
Upon hearing this, all three thousand guests of Zixiao were dumbfounded.
what?
