The Sect Leader of Tongtian said angrily, "Second Brother, is your disciple a disciple and mine not a disciple? As their master, I can't push them into the fire pit. In short, don't even think about it if you want my disciples to make up for the rest. If you want my disciples, you have to ask my Immortal-slaying Sword Formation first. "
As soon as the Tongtian Hierarch said that, although the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation did not appear, a majestic killing intent filled the entire Purple Cloud Palace. The Tongtian Hierarch comprehended the Sword Dao, and the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation contained the Chaotic Sword Essence. The Tongtian Hierarch had been comprehending it for many years, so his killing intent and sword essence were naturally tainted with the Chaotic Sword Essence.
Seeing that the Tongtian Hierarch was angry, Yuanshi suddenly felt that he had gone too far. However, he cared about his reputation, so it was impossible for him to throw away his pride and apologize to the Tongtian Hierarch. Moreover, the Tongtian Hierarch had spoken to him bluntly just now. Yuanshi was also a little unhappy. After all, he was the Tongtian Hierarch's second brother, but the Tongtian Hierarch's words just now really disrespected him.
Zhunti and Summon looked on coldly. Although Zhunti was expressionless, he was already overjoyed. He had always wanted to make the West prosper, but he never had the chance. Looking at the current situation, this Investiture of the Gods was a good opportunity. Now that the Cultivation Tribulation had just begun, Yuanshi and the Tongtian Hierarch were already showing signs of falling out.
In the Great Desolation, the East and the West were clearly divided. If the West wanted to advance to the East, they had to face Sanqing. Although River Styx was the strongest in the East, the Asura Tribe he established had the entire Asura Tribe to preach. The West's advance to the East would not cause any conflict with River Styx. Therefore, Sanqing was the biggest obstacle for the West to advance to the East. If they did not split, the West would never have the chance to prosper.
Lao Tzu saw that the Four Sages were quarreling, especially Yuanshi and the Tongtian Hierarch. Naturally, he was unwilling. Sanqing was one, not to mention that there were outsiders here. Therefore, he said, "Alright, let's stop arguing. Master has given us 300 years. let's go back and think about it. We will find a solution.. After 300 years, we will come back to the Purple Cloud Palace to sign the Investiture of the Gods."
When the Tongtian Hierarch heard this, he stood up and said, "Since Big Brother has said so, I will take my leave first." After saying this, the Tongtian Hierarch flicked his sleeves and left. He did not even bid farewell to Lord Yuanshi. Lord Yuanshi was naturally magnanimous. After saying goodbye to Lao Tzu, he left one after another. Then, the Two Sages of the West also left. Lao Tzu took a look at the Investiture of the Gods and also left the Purple Cloud Palace. The main hall of the Purple Cloud Palace suddenly became empty again. Only the Investiture of the Gods was still floating in the air, emitting a faint golden light.
On the Sacred Island of the Blood Sea, River Styx looked in the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace. He naturally knew that the Sages had parted on bad terms. Although the Sages viewed the world as dogs, it did not mean that they did not care about the lives of their disciples. All living things had emotions and desires. Even Lao Tzu could not completely cut off his emotions. At most, he could only hide these emotions in the bottom of his heart and not show them.
River Styx was the same. Although his cultivation was getting higher and higher, his vision was getting wider and wider. He also became less and less concerned about some things and only pursued the Supreme Way, which was to forget his emotions. However, emotions were not so easy to forget. Once he could follow the rules of Tendo and have no desires, what was the difference between him and a machine?
If he was emotionless, River Styx would have left the Great Desolation long ago. Why would he care about these things? Now that the Cultivation Tribulation was coming again, the Heavenly Design was in chaos. River Styx could only rely on his little foresight to make arrangements in advance. In this Cultivation Tribulation, the Four Sages — Lao Tzu, Yuanshi, Summon, and Zhunti — was not his main concern. His ultimate goal was to let River Styx attain Tao.
As for Houtu, River Styx was not in the mood to settle accounts with him for the time being. Houtu was now trapped in the Nether World. If he wanted to fight with her, the Nether World would be destroyed. When the Cultivation Tribulation was over, there would be a day to settle accounts with Houtu. He was not in a hurry.
In order to let Liu Er attain Tao, River Styx had to find the Long Armed Ape Monkey. However, the Heavenly Design was in chaos and the Long Armed Ape Monkey was nowhere to be found. River Styx could not deduce his whereabouts at all. He could only take one step at a time. The Battle of Gods Investiture was a war between King Zhou of Shang and Western Zhou. It was very likely that the Long Armed Ape Monkey would appear. As long as he appeared, it would be the opportunity for Liu Er.
Now, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou, had not been born yet. It was a good opportunity to start planning. River Styx certainly would not miss this great opportunity. Therefore, he sent a message to his three apprentices. Although the Cultivation Tribulation was dangerous, there were also opportunities. With the cultivation of his three apprentices, blindly cultivating was not enough. They could take advantage of this opportunity to have a good experience.
Not long after, Liu Er, Kong Xuan, and Black Tortoise came in front of River Styx and bowed to River Styx together. Seeing this, River Styx said, "Today, Hongjun Daozu summoned me and the Seven Sages to discuss a new round of Cultivation Tribulation. In this Cultivation Tribulation, the Celestial Court needs to be deified. This time, I summoned you here for this matter."
River Styx naturally saw the doubts on his three apprentices' faces. He continued, "The Four Religious Groups of Human, Chan, Jie, and Western Religions committed a murderous tribulation when they assisted the Human Sovereign. Therefore, they need to go to the mortal world to experience the Tribulation. This has nothing to do with the lineage of the Blood Sea. However, in the Cultivation Tribulation, the Tendo is unpredictable. Although it is dangerous, there are also opportunities. Now, your cultivation is successful, but you still lack experience.
You still need to go to the mortal world. "Hearing this, Liu Er touched his head and said with a smile," Teacher, my cultivation is already at this level. Even if I go to the mortal world, there is no tribulation for me to experience. I'd better not go. " Liu Er's cultivation had reached the late stage of Quasi-saint. In the Great Desolation, except for the Sages, there was hardly anyone who could pose a threat to him.
River Styx looked at the reluctant Liu Er and said, "Liu Er, you have to go to the deification this time. Long Armed Ape Monkey, one of the Four Spiritual Monkeys, is very likely to appear in this Cultivation Tribulation. This Cultivation Tribulation is also the best opportunity for you to achieve the Real Body of Chaotic Demonic God and prove the Origin. If you miss it, you may not have such a good opportunity again."
Hearing River Styx's words, the smile on Liu Er's face immediately disappeared. Proving the Way was not a joke. River Styx had paved so many paths for him in order for him to prove the Way. Liu Er naturally would not let River Styx down. So he nodded and said, "Then I will follow your orders. I'd like to see what tricks they will play in this Cultivation Tribulation."
After finishing his words, River Styx looked at Kong Xuan and said, "Kong Xuan, you are the steadiest among my three disciples. In this Cultivation Tribulation, I have nothing to tell you. Since you have comprehended your own Tao, you should go on and follow your heart. You only need to remember that I will support you."
Hearing this, Kong Xuan bowed to River Styx. River Styx then said to Black Tortoise, "Black Tortoise, you are lazy by nature, which is also caused by your habits in your previous life. Now that you have been trapped at the peak of Daluo Jinxian for a long time, it is time for you to make a breakthrough. When you recover your cultivation as a Quasi-saint, you will remember the past.
You will not be like the past. "Hearing this, Black Tortoise could only nod in agreement. River Styx finally said," Killing is blind in the Cultivation Tribulation. Just follow your heart. If you meet disciples of the Ren, Chan, and Western Religions, as long as you don't like them or if they attack you, just kill them. I will support you. "
Hearing this, Liu Er laughed. He had always hated those disciples of the Sages who thought highly of themselves by relying on the power of the Sages. Since River Styx had said so, Liu Er would not show any mercy if he met them. Kong Xuan and Black Tortoise also nodded. Now that the three religions were completely hostile to the Blood Sea, they would not show any mercy if they met them.
After Liu Er and the other two left River Styx, they parted ways on the island. Since they were going through the Tribulation, it was meaningless for them to stay together. With their cultivation, few disciples of the Sages could be their opponents. It was better for them to separate and look for their own Fated Chances. Their Tao was different, so naturally, their Fated Chances were different.
After Liu Er left the Blood Sea, he went to find Yaoji. When Peach Blossom Fairy was freed, Liu Er and Yaoji went to visit her. Unexpectedly, River Styx suddenly summoned Liu Er, so Liu Er could only come back alone. Now that he was going to descend to the Mortal World to experience the Tribulation, he naturally needed to discuss it with Yaoji.
