Suddenly, Styx realized that the sage would help him.
The Dao Ancestor will help him.
He was certainly not qualified to create a script that would allow all living beings in the primordial world to "share a common language," but as a sage who preached the Dao in the primordial world and passed down the immortal way, Hongjun was absolutely qualified!
If the demon race has its own demon script, why can't the immortal path have its own "immortal script" or "Taoist script"?
If this matter succeeds, as the path of immortality gradually becomes the mainstream in the primordial world, and with the rise of this path, the written language created will naturally become the written language used by all living beings in the primordial world.
He's not qualified, but he can use Hongjun's name to create characters, right?
With this in mind, Styx no longer hesitated and immediately set off.
……
For its first stop, Styx chose the East Sea.
Among the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin, most of the remaining members of the phoenix clan are eternally imprisoned in the immortal volcano. As for the qilin clan, Styx doesn't even know if they are extinct. However, although the dragon clan is now in decline and there is no powerful figure in the entire clan who can compare with Styx, it still maintains considerable influence in the four seas.
With its feet planted on the East Sea, Styx waved its hand to push the East Sea aside and headed straight for the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
Hidden deep within the ocean, the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is a crystal palace suspended within a barrier of azure waves. Glazed tiles reflect a faint light, and coral pillars are entwined with golden dragons. Pearl curtains scatter starlight, giant clam flowers bloom like snow, and giant clams hold bright pearls. Amidst the bursts of jewel-like brilliance, one can still vaguely discern the former glory of the scaled and armored race that once reigned supreme.
With Styx's move, the entire East China Sea seabed shook violently, and countless sea creatures fled in panic.
Some powerful beings who were also listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace had their peace disrupted by Styx's actions. However, after recognizing Styx and seeing his murderous aura stirring up the four seas and heading straight for the East Sea Dragon Palace, they could only sigh and then leave without looking back.
Those who have survived from the last great kalpa to today know to mind their own business.
Behind the dragon-dragon tent in the main hall, the current Dragon King of the East Sea, who was embracing his dragon wife and concubines and enjoying the beautiful aquatic dancers' songs and dances, was stunned by the terrifying murderous aura and immediately lost his composure.
Sensing that the River Styx was approaching, he hurriedly dismissed his wives, concubines, and dancers, not even having time to tidy his clothes, and rushed out to greet them.
"Little Dragon Ao Ping greets Your Excellency. I was unaware of your arrival and apologize for not being able to welcome you properly." The Dragon King, along with his shrimp soldiers and crab generals, knelt down in the direction from which the Styx River had come, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
Ao Ping is the current Dragon King of the East Sea. As an old dragon who has experienced the great war of the last great calamity, he knows that the person who comes is terrifying and must not be offended.
The Dragon Clan is now suffering from the torment of karma, with few geniuses emerging from the clan. Moreover, the path to becoming a Dragon Clan genius is fraught with hardship, which is Heaven's punishment for them. As a result, the only remaining Great Luo Golden Immortal level experts in the Dragon Clan are unable to take action for various reasons and are simply enduring hardship, hoping to protect the Dragon Clan for a little longer.
Even he, the Dragon King of the East Sea, is only a newly entered Taiyi Golden Immortal according to the standards of the immortal path. This was unimaginable when the Ancestral Dragon was still alive.
"Dragon King, please rise quickly, why have you come to this?" Styx looked at the East Sea Dragon King who was kneeling on the ground, raised his hand, and used his magic to help him up.
"Your divine might, sir, compels me to bow in reverence." Ao Ping bowed respectfully to the Styx River.
"Quickly, quickly, prepare a banquet in the Dragon Palace. We have distinguished guests today, and we must not fail." Ao Ping looked at the aquatic servants around him and said anxiously.
Having said that, Ao Ping respectfully turned and bowed again to the Styx River: "May I ask your esteemed name, Immortal?"
"This humble Taoist is Styx." Styx looked at the Dragon King of the East Sea before him, thinking to himself that this old dragon was quite sensible.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the East Sea felt a chill run down his spine and inwardly cried out in alarm.
Spicy!
He had also heard of the Styx River's great name. It is said that there was a great being in the primordial world who entered the Dao through killing and lived in the Netherworld Blood Sea for a long time, with countless zombies and Asuras under his command. Recently, the Ghost Immortal Dao has also emerged because of him.
Ao Ping had never met the Styx River, but he knew that the being standing in front of him, who possessed so many titles such as the creator of the zombie race, the ruler of the Netherworld Blood Sea, the creator of the Asura race, the ancestor of the Ghost Immortals, and whose reputation for killing and bloodshed was known throughout the prehistoric world, was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Putting aside everything else, the drowning and aquatic corpses that have turned into zombies have caused immense suffering to the dragon clans of the four seas.
If this one person is unhappy, the entire East Sea might have to sacrifice the Yuan Tu and Abi swords that kill without incurring any consequences.
"Little Dragon pays respects to Ancestor Styx. I have long admired your benevolent name, and today I am finally able to meet you."
Little did I know what brings the immortal to me today. But if I had any orders, I would have ascended to the summit of Mount Buzhou and descended to the Netherworld Blood... the underwater purgatory.
"With the manpower and resources of my Dragon Clan, we will surely fulfill the Ancestor's command today." Ao Ping looked at the River Styx before him and continued, his voice trembling.
Styx: ...
"I have come here today to bother you, Lord Long. There is nothing of great importance to it. It is just that I have been listening to the Dao Ancestor preach the Great Dao of Immortality in Zixiao Palace. After thinking for a long time, I have no way to repay him. Therefore, in order to repay the kindness of the Ancestor in passing on the Dao, imparting knowledge, and resolving doubts, and also to spread the great love of the Dao Ancestor, I have decided to travel through the prehistoric world and spread the Great Dao of Immortality to all living beings."
"I have come today with the intention of preaching to the beings of the East Sea for a hundred years." Styx looked at the Dragon King of the East Sea before him, smiled, and continued, "Dragon King, why are you so nervous?"
"Oh my, this is truly a joyous occasion!" Ao Ping, now with a dragon's head and a human body, forced a smile on his dragon face that was hardly more attractive than a grimace.
"However, Immortal, the Dao cannot be easily passed on. I wonder how we can repay the karmic debt for the Immortal's teachings?"
"Rest assured, Immortal, our Dragon Clan possesses the wealth of the four seas. Whatever you require, I, the humble dragon, will do my utmost." Ao Ping looked at the Styx River and continued respectfully.
Ao Ping: It's alright. Before robbing them, they at least knew to preach for a hundred years, so it wasn't outright robbery.
"Dragon King, you are overthinking it. The dragon race does not need to pay anything. Why make things so complicated if we have to repay the debt of karma?"
This humble Taoist priest does this to repay the kindness of the Taoist Ancestor in passing on the Tao. If the Dragon King wishes to repay, he should repay the Taoist Ancestor.
"As long as the Dragon King is willing to acknowledge the Sage as the Ancestor of the Dao and sincerely worships the Ancestor of the Dao, that is enough. Why bother with such mundane things?" Styx looked at the Dragon King in front of him and waved his hand.
What he wants is the merit of creating characters and the fortune of being the ancestor of literature. Under the guise of repaying the kindness of the Dao Ancestor, he collects rare treasures. What is the difference between that and buying the fields of disaster victims under the guise of the Weaving Bureau?
"Oh my, Ancestor, you are truly compassionate! I will now summon all the creatures of the East Sea to listen to your teachings." Ao Ping was somewhat incredulous. Styx was considered one of the most powerful beings in the prehistoric world. Even if he had only been a hundred years old, it would have been enough to greatly benefit many dragons and aquatic creatures.
At the same time, by taking advantage of the opportunity to preach in the Styx River, the East Sea Dragon Palace can even build up a network of connections, since opportunities to listen to top-level experts preach are rare.
He could hardly believe that the dragon race, burdened by karma, could encounter such good fortune. But surely no one would joke about a saint.
"Of course, I also have two small personal requests. First, if the Dragon Clan has any written language, I would like to borrow it for a while."
Secondly, after the First Yuan Gathering, this humble Taoist wishes to perform a sacrifice to Heaven and Earth and pay homage to the Taoist Ancestor at Shouyang Mountain. I would like to invite the Dragon King to join me. Is this permissible?
"Of course it's possible!"
Ao Ping was ecstatic. What kind of request was this?
