In the Chaos, Hongjun gradually walked further and further away. He had already finished reading the jade slip given by River Styx. He was slightly surprised by the information in it. Although he had guessed it, it was proven by River Styx that the Good Corpse of River Styx, Qiankun Taoist, cultivated the Dao of World Ascension. This could be seen from the fact that he had devoured the Origin of the Great Desolation. When River Styx went back and forth to the Chaos, Qiankun Taoist's strength had skyrocketed. At that time, Hongjun guessed that Qiankun Taoist might have devoured other worlds.
Sure enough, the Treasure Realm and the Beast Realm. He did not expect that Qiankun Taoist had directly devoured two mini worlds. It was no wonder that River Styx's luck had skyrocketed. It turned out that he had gathered the luck of two mini worlds. Another piece of information shocked Hongjun even more. It was the Exotic Beasts of Chaos that possessed the Origin of Chaos. It should be known that the 3,000 Demon Gods had already slaughtered them long before Pangu split open the sky.
The 3,000 Demon Gods had the Origin of Chaos in their bodies. The Origin of Chaos in these Ominous Beasts was the best tonic to strengthen their own Origin. One could imagine the fate of these Ominous Beasts of Chaos. Thinking of this, Hongjun could not help but frown. The Ominous Beasts of Chaos that should have been extinct had appeared again. Could it be that some changes had occurred in the Chaos?
However, this was also good news for Hongjun. As long as he could collect enough Origin of Chaos, it would not be impossible for him to restore the True Body of the Demon God of Chaos. Of course, Hongjun's scheme was not limited to this. After all, he was the reincarnation of the remnant soul of the Demon God of Chaos. He was naturally more aware of the magical effects of the Origin of Chaos.
Hongjun was also very wary of River Styx. River Styx's rise was too fast. It was so fast that he found it hard to believe. Even though he was now at the peak of Primordial Chaos, he was not completely confident that he could defeat River Styx. Otherwise, he would have done it long ago instead of allowing River Styx to continue growing. Perhaps one day, River Styx would surpass him.
Thinking of this, Hongjun showed a mocking smile on his face and muttered to himself, "River Styx, River Styx, you are still too inexperienced. If you were the reincarnation of the Demon God of Chaos, you would have surpassed me.... What a pity...... Although the secrets I gave you are true, I did not say all the secrets of the Great Desolation of Chaos!"
… ….
On the other side, River Styx had already finished reading the jade slip that Hongjun gave him. It recorded a lot of information about the Chaos before the Great Desolation of Chaos. The more useful thing was an incomplete map of the Chaos. In the Chaos, it was most difficult to distinguish directions, but it was not impossible. For example, there were some strange places, such as the vortex of Chaos that never dissipated all year round, or the place where the laws were violent, and so on. With these places for comparison, a simple map of the Chaos could be drawn.
But the Chaos was so vast that even the 3,000 Demon Gods back then could not explore all of it. Therefore, this map was probably obtained before Hongjun's reincarnation. According to this incomplete map and River Styx's previous experience in the Chaos, he could roughly estimate his location. He could even calculate the approximate location of the destroyed Treasure Realm and Beast Realm.
With this map, it would be more convenient for River Styx to do things in the Chaos. Moreover, as he traversed the Chaos, he could continue to perfect this incomplete map. There might be Middle Worlds and Great Worlds in the Chaos, but some of them could not be obtained by River Styx now. He could only record them on the map for future use.
The rest was information about the 3,000 Demon Gods, the Chaos Lingbao, and the Treasure of Chaos. However, in River Styx's opinion, it was basically useless. River Styx had already embarked on the path of the Chaos Demon God, so the information about the Chaos Demon Gods could only be used to verify his own path. Although some information about the Chaos Lingbao and the Treasure of Chaos were introduced, it did not go into detail, nor did it mention how to refine them.
After reading it, River Styx immediately understood. He had long guessed that Hongjun could not have told him everything. This was evident from the oath he had made to the Great Dao. However, River Styx was the same. He had never told anyone about the greatest secret he discovered in the Chaos. Thinking about that place, River Styx's expression was still extremely solemn.
However, it did not matter. Information about the Chaos Magic Treasures was at least somewhat useful to River Styx. In the information left by Hongjun, the Chaos Lingbao and the Treasure of Chaos originated from the Chaos Origin. The restriction on the magic treasures was also very different from the restriction on the Treasure of Chaos and the Innate Lingbao. It was the Chaos Restriction.
However, Hongjun did not elaborate on what the Chaos Restriction was, nor did he mention how to transform the Origin of the Treasure of Chaos into the Origin of Chaos. How could Hongjun tell River Styx such an important secret so easily? If River Styx refined the Chaos Lingbao, it would be a great danger to Hongjun. Although Hongjun and River Styx had not completely fallen out, Hongjun would not do anything even if there was a one in ten thousand chance of him aiding his enemy.
Looking in the direction Hongjun left in, River Styx muttered to himself, "Chaos Lingbao? Hmph! Hongjun, do you really think I can't do anything if you don't tell me? " With that, River Styx clenched his fist and the jade slip in his hand immediately turned into powder and scattered into the Chaos. As the Chaos Qi brushed past, it completely vanished without a trace.
River Styx stretched out his hand and a faint wisp of aura appeared in his hand. Looking at this peculiar wisp of aura, River Styx smiled. This wisp of aura was a wisp of aura from the Purple Cloud Palace that River Styx had intercepted when Hongjun left the Tendo and descended to the Great Desolation. Hongjun probably did not notice River Styx's move at that time.
In fact, when the Purple Cloud Palace descended to the Great Desolation, River Styx had discovered that it was actually a supreme-grade Primordial Treasure. Its power was probably even greater than the Three Heaven-Opening Treasures. It contained the aura of the Three Thousand Great Dao, which was similar to the Tendo Wheel that River Styx had refined back then. Most importantly, River Styx had discovered a wisp of aura that did not belong to a Primordial Treasure in the Purple Cloud Palace.
At that time, River Styx had paid attention to it. Taking advantage of Hongjun's unstable state of mind after leaving the Tendo, he had quietly intercepted a wisp of the Purple Cloud Palace's aura. Hongjun's Purple Cloud Palace was definitely not a simple Primordial Treasure. Hongjun probably wanted to refine the Purple Cloud Palace into a Chaos Lingbao, but it did not seem to be that easy.
The special aura of the Purple Cloud Palace was a little similar to the aura of the Origin of Chaos, but it was many times weaker. It was obvious that Hongjun had just begun refining the Purple Cloud Palace into a Chaos Lingbao. Now that Hongjun had gone to the Chaos, it was very likely that he wanted to refine the Purple Cloud Palace into a Chaos Lingbao. River Styx had to be on guard against this.
Although River Styx had never seen a Chaos Lingbao before, it was definitely much more powerful than a Primordial Treasure. Once Hongjun had a Chaos Lingbao, he would be a great threat to River Styx. At the thought of this, River Styx's expression turned somewhat grave. It seemed that he had to speed up. There were countless dangers in the Chaos, but it also contained infinite opportunities for him and Hongjun. Now, it was a competition of who was faster.
Looking at the strand of aura in his hand, River Styx knew that it was a glimmer of hope for him to explore the Chaos Lingbao. With the Taoist Mirror in hand, River Styx and the Three Corpses, River Styx could deduce some of the secrets of the Purple Cloud Palace. Of course, there was only one chance. This strand of aura was too weak. It probably wouldn't be able to withstand River Styx's second full deduction.
River Styx kept the strand of aura of the Purple Cloud Palace and continued to advance into the depths of the Chaos. Since there was only one chance to deduce, River Styx had to be fully prepared. The Taoist Mirror's tenfold amplification was indeed powerful, but it wasn't enough. River Styx wanted a hundredfold amplification. This would greatly increase the chances of him successfully prying into the secrets of the Purple Cloud Palace.
The Origin of Chaos was the only way to amplify the Taoist Mirror's hundredfold amplification with the Origin of Chaos. Moreover, the amount of Origin of Chaos was probably not small. As such, River Styx had to spend a lot of time searching for exotic beasts of chaos and collecting the Origin of Chaos in their bodies. Only when River Styx was completely confident would River Styx be able to deduce.
However, despite the vastness of the Chaos, it wasn't easy to find enough exotic beasts of chaos. Moreover, River Styx had basically killed off all the exotic beasts of chaos in this area previously. In order to find exotic beasts of chaos, River Styx had to go to places he hadn't been before. He hoped that he would be able to find something there.
River Styx did come across a few exotic beasts of chaos along the way, but there were only a few dozen of them in total. The Origin of Chaos they accumulated was just a drop in the bucket compared to what he needed. At this rate, when would River Styx be able to accumulate enough Origin of Chaos? River Styx hesitated at the thought of this.
In fact, there was a place with a large number of exotic beasts of chaos. There was no lack of Origin Realm beasts among them. However, that place was too strange. River Styx discovered it by accident and thought that he would be able to reap great rewards. In the end, he fled in a sorry state. Even with River Styx's current cultivation, River Styx's heart still palpitated at the thought of that place. That place was also the biggest secret that River Styx kept.
However, time and tide waited for no man. Hongjun's appearance gave River Styx a lot of pressure. Although the two of them might not necessarily become enemies, River Styx would never place his hopes on possibilities. Only when he was strong enough could he grasp the real initiative. Just like in the Great Desolation, River Styx was able to plot against the Sage without any scruples and was bold enough to seize the Origin of the Great Desolation. Why? It was because he was strong enough that even Tendo was aware of it. Otherwise, he would have been dead long ago.
After pondering for a long time, River Styx finally made up his mind. As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. River Styx had no choice but to give it a try even if it was dangerous. Besides, River Styx felt that there was an even bigger secret in that place. This time, he could find out what it was. Opportunities always came with danger. Moreover, there was the Origin of Chaos that River Styx desperately needed. River Styx had no choice but to go there.
