In Mount Shouyang, Celestial Master Yuanshi, who had left Golden Rooster Ridge, went straight to Lao Tzu. Upon seeing Lao Tzu, Celestial Master Yuanshi said angrily, "Big Brother, River Styx is getting more and more arrogant. He allowed his disciples to kill the disciples of the Taoism Sect and the Sect of Enlightenment. He doesn't care about you and me at all. If this goes on, I'm afraid we will become the laughingstock of the Great Desolation."
Lao Tzu looked at the angry Yuanshi and said, "Second Brother, you should understand that this is not a good time to fight River Styx. The most important thing now is the Apotheosized Battle. If we fight with River Styx now, it will only benefit others." The 'others' that Lao Tzu was referring to was the Tongtian Sect Leader.
Yuanshi naturally understood this, but he still couldn't hold back his anger. He said, "I understand what Big Brother is saying, but River Styx is unrestrained. If he joins forces with the Tongtian, what should we do? If River Styx joins forces with the Tongtian, even if we join forces with Summon and Zhunti, I'm afraid we won't have any chance of winning."
Lao Tzu's expression changed slightly. After thinking for a while, he said, "The Tongtian and River Styx are both arrogant. I'm afraid the two of them won't join forces. However, we should still take precautions. It's not impossible to force River Styx to not interfere in this Apotheosized Battle. We can put in some effort on Liu Er."
Yuanshi Tianzun was puzzled. "Six Ears? What can we do on Liu Er? Besides, I'm afraid River Styx has some tricks on his three disciples. If we attack Liu Er, I'm afraid we will only anger River Styx and have the opposite effect. "Yuanshi could not figure out Lao Tzu's thoughts. It was the same in the past.
Seeing this, Lao Tzu explained, "Junior Brother, you should know who Liu Er is. He is one of the Four Spiritual Monkeys, Six-Eared Macaque. He is the direct disciple of River Styx and walks the same Way of Chaotic Demonic God as River Styx. Liu Er has severed both the Good and Evil Separations, leaving only the Obsession. The object he used to sever the Separations is the Origins of the other three Four Spiritual Monkeys."
Hearing this, Yuanshi was shocked. Four Spiritual Monkeys, Chaotic Demonic God, sever the Separations with the Origins. How could he not understand Lao Tzu's implication? But it was really hard to believe. Yuanshi blurted out, "Liu Er wants to use the Origins of the other three Four Spiritual Monkeys to sever the Three Separations. Then, he can combine the Three Separations and transform into the Real Body of Chaotic Demonic God to prove Origin."
Although Yuanshi had said it, he was still shocked. Chaotic Demonic God, the Way of Origin. Liu Er had only cultivated for a short time, but he had already reached the threshold of proving Origin. In the Great Desolation, many Primordial Demonic Gods could not reach his level in their whole lives. Now, in the Great Desolation, only Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun had the highest chance of proving Origin. Now, it seemed that Liu Er was going to be one more.
Even so, it was not so easy to sever the Three Separations. In the Great Desolation, only Hongjun and River Styx could successfully sever the Self-separation. Other than them, even Lao Tzu, the head of the Sanqing, could not sever the Self-separation. Although Liu Er was extraordinarily talented, it was unlikely that he could sever the Self-separation.
At this moment, Yuanshi envied River Styx's disciple for the first time. In comparison, Guangchengzi, whom he was most proud of, had just stepped into the Way of Quasi-saint. However, River Styx's first disciple, Liu Er, had already touched the Way of Origin. Although it seemed that Liu Er's chances of proving Origin were slim, at least he had a goal to strive for.
Seeing that Yuanshi was somewhat absent-minded, Lao Tzu said, "During the period of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the one who abducted Shennong's daughter was Redbone Horse Monkey, one of the Four Spiritual Monkeys." Speaking of this, Lao Tzu's expression changed slightly. He then continued, "After that, Redbone Horse Monkey fell into the hands of River Styx. I'm afraid that Liu Er has already used his Origin to sever the Self-separation. As for which Four Spiritual Monkeys Liu Er used to sever the other Self-separation, I don't know. Now, what Liu Er lacks is the Origin of the last Four Spiritual Monkeys."
At the mention of Redbone Horse Monkey, Yuanshi's expression changed slightly. Although he knew that it was the Demon Tribe who abducted Shennong's daughter, he did not know the exact background of the abductor. At that time, the Divine Mystery was obscured. The only people who knew the background of the abductor were River Styx, who had seen the abductor, and the initiator of the abduction.
Looking at Lao Tzu, Yuanshi could not help but feel a little apprehensive. He really did not expect that the sensational event of the Great Desolation was actually planned by Lao Tzu behind the scenes. What on earth did he want? Yuanshi could not figure it out, nor did he need to. It was useless to talk about it now. Just now, Lao Tzu's expression changed slightly. Perhaps it was because of this.
However, this matter had nothing to do with Yuanshi, so he naturally would not mention it. Now, the most important thing in Yuanshi's mind was how to control River Styx and prevent Liu Er from proving his Tao. Yuanshi asked, "Brother, do you know the whereabouts of the last Four Spiritual Monkeys? As long as we have it in our hands, we can stop Liu Er from proving his Tao and control River Styx."
Lao Tzu shook his head and said, "I don't know the whereabouts of the last Four Spiritual Monkeys. Since the beginning of the Cultivation Tribulation, it has been obscured from the Divine Mystery. I'm afraid River Styx is also looking for it now. Even if we find it, I'm afraid we can only use it to make a deal with River Styx. It's impossible to use it to threaten River Styx."
Upon hearing Lao Tzu's words, Yuanshi's expression changed slightly. He said hurriedly, "Brother, if we use the last Four Spiritual Monkeys to make a deal with River Styx, even if we can prevent River Styx from interfering in the Battle of Gods Investiture, if Liu Er proves his Tao, the strength of the Sea of Blood will increase greatly. At that time, even if we can suppress the Tongtian, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat River Styx."
River Styx and the Three Separations were four Masters of the Origin, including the Puppet of the Origin. If Liu Er proves his Tao, the Sea of Blood alone would have the combat capability of six Masters of the Origin. Now, in the Great Desolation, only the Seven Sages and Nüwa remained neutral. The Tongtian had already fallen out with them. Even if Houtu escaped after this Cultivation Tribulation, they would only have five Sages, including Summon and Zhunti.
Lao Tzu was naturally aware of Yuanshi's concerns. However, this was the only way to eliminate the possibility of River Styx and the Tongtian joining forces. Lao Tzu could only say, "I understand your concerns, Second Brother. But now, this is the only bargaining chip we can use to make a deal with River Styx. Even if Liu Er obtains the Origin of the last Four Spiritual Monkeys, he still needs to cut out his Self- Corpse. Otherwise, he won't be able to prove his Tao."
Yuanshi looked at Lao Tzu. Although Lao Tzu said it lightly, Yuanshi was very worried. If everything in the world could go as he wished, what was there for him to worry about? However, what made him curious was that Lao Tzu's words seemed to reveal an unknown confidence, as if he had an unknown trump card and was not afraid of River Styx at all. However, Yuanshi did not know what it was.
Lao Tzu naturally had his own trump card. After all, he was the head of the Sanqing. However, Lao Tzu did not want to use such a trump card unless it was absolutely necessary. Once it appeared, it would definitely shock the world. This was also something that Lao Tzu did not want to see. Even during River Styx's Tribulation last time, Lao Tzu had never thought of using it. Lao Tzu glanced at Yuanshi with an unnatural look in his eyes. However, it disappeared in a flash, and Yuanshi did not notice it at all.
… ….
River Styx naturally did not know about Lao Tzu and Yuanshi's secret plan. He had just come out of the Aquamarine Palace. After learning that Kong Xuan had killed more than ten Daluo Jinxian disciples from the three sects, he could not help but smile. Yuanshi and the others did not choose to attack him directly because they were afraid of him. However, they did not know that River Styx and the Evil Corpse were both refining treasures in the Aquamarine Palace and had no time to spare. They had wasted such a great opportunity.
Now that the Tongtian had reached an agreement, River Styx was looking forward to the end of the Battle of Gods Investiture. River Styx was not a philanthropist. Since he was able to offer such conditions to the Tongtian, he naturally sought more generous returns. As for the Battle of Gods Investiture, River Styx did not want to participate in it personally. Lao Tzu and Yuanshi were too worried. River Styx would not waste his efforts on something that did not benefit him.
After leaving the Golden Turtle Island, River Styx went straight to Chentang Pass. This Cultivation Tribulation was a great opportunity for Liu Er to prove his Dao. If he missed this opportunity, the danger would greatly increase. Now, River Styx only needed the Origin of the Four Spiritual Monkeys. Although River Styx had searched for it in every possible way, there was still no news. He was somewhat worried. If it fell into the hands of other Sages, it would not be good.
