When Summon and Zhunti heard this, their faces turned bitter. What River Styx asked for was not too much, and it was something they could afford. For the teacher of the Human Sovereign, they had no choice but to agree. Summon took out three Golden Lotus Seeds and a Bodhi branch that Zhunti took out and handed them to River Styx.
After receiving the items, River Styx said, "Since that's the case, the matter of the teacher of the Human Sovereign is settled. My Daoist Friend Nüwa, please send my Daoist Friend Fuxi back to Samsara as soon as possible. The Poor Way is to take my leave." With that, he left the Purple Cloud Palace, leaving no time for the other Sages to react.
As soon as River Styx left, the other Sages also took their leave. Although they had paid a price, at least they got what they wanted. River Styx was the biggest winner. The elixirs and Lingbao were secondary. What he had always wanted were the lotus seeds of the Golden Lotus of Virtue and the Bodhi branch, one of the Five Great Innate Spiritual Roots. These were his biggest gains.
After returning to the Blood Sea, River Styx immediately planted the Bodhi branch and irrigated it with the Triple Brilliance Holy Water. Gradually, it showed signs of taking root and growing, which was good news. However, the Golden Lotus of Virtue that had been nourished by the Triple Brilliance Holy Water showed no reaction at all. River Styx even suspected that these Golden Lotus Seeds were fake.
Holding the three Golden Lotus Seeds, River Styx carefully examined them. These three Golden Lotus Seeds did not seem to be fake, and they contained part of the origin of the Golden Lotus of Virtue. But why was there no reaction at all after being nourished by the Triple Brilliance Holy Water?
While thinking, River Styx suddenly had an idea. He summoned a ball of golden light from his hand and injected it into one of the Golden Lotus Seeds. The Golden Lotus Seeds reacted at once. Seeing this, River Styx patted his head and was speechless. What kind of treasure was this? It was simply a big money-grubber.
That ball of golden light was none other than the Golden Light of Virtue, the Golden Lotus of Virtue. River Styx had never thought that the Golden Lotus of Virtue was nourished by the Golden Light of Virtue. No wonder the Golden Lotus of Virtue of the West was absorbed by the Mosquito Taoist in the War of Gods. It could only be repaired by virtue of virtue.
Although River Styx was reluctant to give up the Golden Light of Virtue, the Golden Lotus of Virtue still needed to be cultivated. The Evil Corpse Red Lotus Taoist only needed the Golden Lotus of Virtue to achieve perfection. In comparison, virtue was nothing. Over the years, the Blood River Formation and the Nether World had accumulated a lot of virtue for River Styx, which was just right for him to cultivate the Golden Lotus of Virtue.
Countless Golden Light of Virtue were injected into the Golden Lotus Seed, which immediately underwent a great change. A golden lotus appeared in front of River Styx. As the Golden Light of Virtue was continuously injected, the golden lotus grew bigger and bigger. Level one, level two, level three … The speed of its growth was astonishing.
After a long time, River Styx finally stopped. Looking at the Level Nine Golden Lotus of Virtue in front of him, he finally felt relieved. He had used up more than half of the virtue he had accumulated over the years to cultivate this Level Nine Golden Lotus of Virtue. The remaining virtue was not enough to create another Level Nine Golden Lotus of Virtue. Thus, River Styx gave up and put away the remaining two Golden Lotus Seeds. They might be useful in the future.
After sending the Golden Lotus of Virtue to the Red Lotus Taoist, River Styx was about to call Liu Er and Kong Xuan to tell them about the Teacher of the Human Sovereign. However, he suddenly thought of how could Fuxi be reincarnated? Given the relationship between the Demon Tribe and the Wu people, how could Houtu sit and watch Fuxi enter the Samsara?
… ….
On the way back to the Wahuang Heaven, Nüwa suddenly remembered that if Fuxi wanted to be reincarnated as a human, he had to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation. However, the Six Paths of Reincarnation was controlled by Zu Wu Of Houtu. Given the hatred between the Liches and the Demons, how could Zu Wu Of Houtu sit and watch Fuxi enter the Samsara?
Nüwa could not help but regret that she had settled the Karma with River Styx in the Purple Cloud Palace just now. She should have also let the remnant soul of her brother Fuxi enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation. River Styx's Good Zombie was in charge of the Nether World. It was not difficult for him to do this without Houtu's knowledge. However, now that the Karma had been settled, it was not appropriate to go to River Styx.
After thinking about it, Nüwa changed her itinerary and went to Mount Shouyang. As the First Senior Brother of All Sages, Lao Tzu was the most powerful one. If he was willing to help, Fuxi's reincarnation would not be a problem. Most importantly, Lao Tzu still owed Nüwa Karma. Although it was a little convenient for Lao Tzu to settle the Karma, it could not be helped.
Lao Tzu had just returned to Mount Shouyang when he heard someone say, "Senior Brother Lao Tzu, Nüwa requests an audience." Lao Tzu frowned when he heard this. They had just parted ways in the Purple Cloud Palace, and Nüwa had come looking for him. What was the matter?
Lao Tzu transmitted his voice, "Junior Sister Nüwa, please come in." As soon as he finished speaking, Nüwa appeared in the palace. Lao Tzu asked with some confusion, "Junior Sister, why did you come to Mount Shouyang in such a hurry instead of returning to Wahuang Heaven?"
Nüwa said, "It's about my brother Fuxi's reincarnation. Senior Brother, you know that the Six Paths of Reincarnation are controlled by Zu Wu Of Houtu. If I want my brother to be safely reincarnated as a human, I can only come here to beg you. As long as you can help my brother be successfully reincarnated as a human, the Karma that you owe me when you established the Ren School will be settled. What do you think?"
Lao Tzu naturally understood after hearing Nüwa's words. He instinctively wanted to refuse. If he sent Fuxi into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he would definitely offend Houtu. It would be detrimental to him. How could Lao Tzu agree to such a thankless task? However, when he heard that Nüwa was willing to use this matter to settle the Karma between them, Lao Tzu swallowed his words of refusal.
Other than this matter, Lao Tzu really couldn't think of anything else that could repay Nüwa's Karma. Since Nüwa said so, Lao Tzu could only agree. "Alright, Poor Way agrees. Then give Fuxi's Daoist Friend's Remnant Soul to Poor Way!"
Nüwa's face lit up when she heard this. She released Fuxi's Remnant Soul from the Mountain River Map. Fuxi bowed to Lao Tzu and said, "Thank you, Sage Taiqing." After all, Lao Tzu was a Sage. Although he called Fuxi his Daoist Friend, Fuxi was still very self-aware. He still had to be polite.
Lao Tzu nodded and put away Fuxi's Remnant Soul. His mana surged, and he pointed a finger and shouted, "Reincarnation Passage, open." Lao Tzu actually used his supreme mana to forcefully open the Human Path Passage in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. With a wave of his sleeve, Fuxi was successfully sent in.
However, at this moment, Houtu's furious voice rang out. "Don't even think about it. The power of reincarnation, vanish!" Houtu, who was in the Underworld, had already sensed Lao Tzu's forceful opening of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. After all, the Six Paths of Reincarnation was formed by her previous physical body. She knew everything that happened in the Six Paths of Reincarnation like the back of her hand.
Houtu saw that Lao Tzu wanted to send Fuxi's Remnant Soul into the Six Paths of Reincarnation so that he could be reincarnated as a human. No matter what, Fuxi was still a member of the Demon Race. How could Houtu let Fuxi be reincarnated? He immediately made his move, wanting to use the power of reincarnation to vanquish Fuxi's Remnant Soul completely.
Lao Tzu expected Houtu to make a move. The Taichi Diagram appeared in his hand and turned into a golden bridge, protecting Fuxi's Remnant Soul within it. Houtu's power of reincarnation was unable to break through the golden bridge's defense. It seemed that Fuxi's Remnant Soul was about to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Houtu said angrily, "Lao Tzu, don't even think about getting your way. Even if I can't vanquish Fuxi's Remnant Soul, I won't let him off so easily." A huge amount of power of reincarnation surged forth, causing a crack to appear on the golden bridge. A gush of Qing Shui passed through the crack and poured onto Fuxi's Remnant Soul. Then, Fuxi's Remnant Soul entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
When Nüwa and Lao Tzu saw this, their expressions changed. That gush of Qing Shui was no ordinary water. It was Meng Po's Soup, which was used in the Underworld to make the reincarnated people forget their past lives. When Meng Po's Soup was poured onto Fuxi's Remnant Soul, it would most likely cause the person to forget their past lives after reincarnation.
On the other hand, Lao Tzu's expression changed slightly. It was not only because of the Meng Po's Soup that was poured onto Fuxi, but also because he was shocked by Houtu's strength. In the Six Paths of Reincarnation, although Houtu did not use the Bell of Chaos, he was still able to win against Lao Tzu when he used the Taichi Diagram. One could only imagine how strong Houtu was. Even if Houtu's strength increased in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, after establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Houtu's strength would not be too far off. Moreover, Houtu still had the Bell of Chaos.
After the next Cultivation Tribulation, Houtu would be able to regain his freedom. At that time, there would be another strong opponent among the Saints. Moreover, Lao Tzu could not predict how much Houtu's strength would improve by that time. At that time, Houtu would probably become a strong opponent.
Now, Lao Tzu looked at the worried Nüwa and said, "Nüwa Daoist Friend, don't worry. Fuxi's Daoist Friend is a Renhuang, so he will definitely be fine. Moreover, River Styx's Daoist Friend will also send disciples to guide him. There's no need to worry. When Fuxi's Daoist Friend achieves the Renhuang Dao Fruit, he will definitely regain his memories of his past life."
