On the Sacred Island of the Blood Sea, River Styx, Red Lotus Taoist, and Qiankun Taoist, who had just returned from Wu Zhuang Guan, sat on the ground and formed a tripartite formation. The Hongmeng Purple Qi was fixed in the center and could not move at all. Above the Hongmeng Purple Qi was River Styx's proudest magic treasure, the Mirror of Dao. The three of them and the power of the Mirror of Dao were comprehending the mystery within.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi was something that manifested naturally from the response of Heaven and Earth. It was abnormally mysterious. If one did not grasp the essence, one could comprehend it for millions of years without gaining anything. However, if one was lucky enough, one could comprehend it in one day and attain the Origin Dao Fruit.
One day, one month, one year, ten years, one hundred years. For a total of three hundred years, River Styx and the Good and Evil Corpses had been comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi. River Styx and the Good Corpse Qiankun Taoist did not gain much. On the other hand, the Evil Corpse Red Lotus Taoist had gained a lot. He was close to mastering the Law of Slaughter and was only a step away from attaining the Origin Dao Fruit.
After comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi for hundreds of years, River Styx naturally understood some of its mysteries. The Hongmeng Purple Qi was born from time to time and contained the origin of Tendo. This was also the fundamental reason why becoming a Saint through virtue would not cause the foundation of a Saint to be unstable.
Those who became a Saint through virtue would activate the origin of Tendo in the Hongmeng Purple Qi. After absorbing the origin of Tendo, one would naturally be able to raise one's mana and state to the state of a Saint without leaving any hidden dangers. It could be said that becoming a Saint through virtue was the best shortcut to attaining the Origin Dao Fruit as long as one had enough virtue.
River Styx had a lot of merits, and he would be able to achieve them in the future. However, becoming a saint through merits was not what he wanted. The Evil Corpse Red Lotus Taoist was about to attain Dao, and the White Lotus of Purification had already grown to its limit, blooming to the eleventh grade. Although it was only a step away from perfection, it had no hope of reaching the twelfth grade.
Daoist Red Lotus' true form was the twenty-first grade Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, which had fused with the White Lotus of Purification, while his Nascent Divinity was comprehending the Law of Slaughter. If both of them could attain the Fruit of Origin, River Styx would have the confidence to face a Saint, which would be of great help to his future plans.
However, this Hongmeng Purple Qi was now useless. Although River Styx coveted the Tendo Origin inside, he did not want to become a Tendo Saint because of this Tendo Origin. If so, it would be difficult for him to transcend in the future.
After Red Lotus Taoist and Qiankun Taoist finished their comprehensions, they went into closed-door training respectively. On the contrary, looking at the Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand, River Styx did not know what to do with it. He had no use for it, and if he left it to his disciple Liu Er, it would only harm him. Liu Er was just a Daluo Jinxian, how could he protect this Hongmeng Purple Qi? After all, he could not protect Liu Er all the time.
After pondering for a long time, River Styx's eyes suddenly lit up. He had thought of an excellent place for this Hongmeng Purple Qi. His figure flashed and he was already out of the Blood Sea. However, he did not make a big fuss this time. Instead, he hid his figure and quietly left the Blood Sea, heading for the Great Desolation.
… ….
In the Pangu Hall, the twelve Zu Wu were gathered together. However, judging from their condition, it was obvious that they had not fully recovered from the injuries caused by the backlash of the formation when they summoned the Real Body of Pangu last time. Their breaths were unstable, and their blood and Qi were somewhat weak.
Even so, Zhurong was still full of energy and his voice was as loud as a bell. "Brother, what does Hongjun mean? How can he stop us from destroying the Monster Clan? The Great Desolation was created by Father God, and we, the Wu people, should be the masters of this world."
Upon hearing this, Di River sighed and said, "That's enough. Hongjun is so powerful that I'm afraid that even the Real Body of Pangu is no match for him. However, it's good that we haven't fully familiarized ourselves with the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation yet, especially when we summon the Real Body of Pangu. If we can fully master this formation, the Monster Clan will be no match for us even after ten thousand years."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Zu Wu eased a little. However, the Candle Dragon said worriedly, "Brother, even if that's the case, if the Nüwa of the Monster Clan becomes a Saint within ten thousand years, I'm afraid the outcome will be difficult to predict." Upon hearing this, the faces of the Zu Wu darkened again. What the Candle Dragon was worried about was indeed possible. If that was the case, the Wu people would not be able to gain any advantages.
At this moment, Gonggong said, "Brother, don't forget that other than Sanqing, Nüwa, Zhunti, and Summon, the Purple Cloud of Hongmeng still exists in the Great Desolation." At the mention of the Purple Cloud of Hongmeng, the eyes of the Zu Wu people lit up. If the Wu people could also produce a Saint, then even if the Nüwa became a Saint, the Wu people would not be afraid of them.
Zhurong laughed out loud and said, "Hahaha, that's right, Gonggong. It's rare for you to say something useful. Previously, when we were fighting against the Monster Clan, River Styx took advantage of us. Let's go and ask him for the Purple Cloud of Hongmeng. If he dares to refuse, I'll beat him up!" River Styx only had the appearance of a young man. Compared to Zhurong, he looked a little younger.
Hearing Zhurong's words, Di River was obviously tempted. However, the Candle Dragon said, "Even so, I'm afraid it's impossible to get the Purple Cloud of Hongmeng from River Styx." The Candle Dragon's words were like a basin of water that directly extinguished the fire that had suddenly ignited in the hearts of the Zu Wu people.
Di River asked, "Brother, why is it impossible?" The Candle Dragon said, "Brother, don't forget that River Styx is a master at the peak of the Quasi-saint level. He slaughtered 68 Quasi-saints by himself. I'm afraid the 12 of us are no match for him."
Zhurong cried out, "Brother, we still have the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation. How can River Styx be our match?" The Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation was the trump card of the Wu people. Its power was so strong that even the Monster Clan's Zhouxing Formation could not resist it.
The Candle Dragon said, "We do have the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation, but in our current state, how much of the formation's power can we exert? The Blood Sea is River Styx's nest. It's impossible that there is no formation to protect it. Besides, we don't know much about River Styx. We only know some hearsay and the strength that River Styx showed when he snatched the Purple Cloud of Hongmeng."
"How many corpses did River Styx's Three Separations kill? We don't know the strength of each corpse, the strength of the Blood God's Son, the mystery of the formation, whether there is a formation in the Blood Sea, how powerful the formation is, and what kind of magic treasures River Styx has. If we act rashly, I'm afraid we will suffer great losses. Moreover, if we become enemies with River Styx, he may launch a sneak attack on us when we are fighting against the Monster Clan. We will be attacked from both sides."
Hearing the Candle Dragon's words, Di River naturally understood the seriousness of the matter. Zhurong also became listless like a frosted eggplant. The other Zu Wu people were also in a bad mood. There was a way to keep the Monster Clan's Nüwa in check, but they could not do it. How could they not feel depressed?
"Hahaha! I've long heard that the Candle Dragon is a wise man of the Wu people. Today, I see that you are indeed extraordinary. It's an honor for the Poor Way to make the Candle Dragon Zu Wu fear you. The Ancestor of the Poor Way, River Styx, has specially come to visit you today. Please forgive us for our impoliteness. "
Hearty laughter suddenly rang out. The Twelve Zu Wu were shocked. They all walked out of the Pangu Palace and saw a black-robed Daoist standing outside. Who else could it be but River Styx? The Twelve Zu Wu did not expect River Styx to take the initiative to come to them. It really surprised them.
Seeing River Styx's smile, Di River was furious. He said angrily, "So it's River Styx's Daoist Friend. What a pleasant surprise! However, you have the Purple Aura of Hongmeng. Aren't you afraid that the Daoist Friend won't be able to leave the Wu people?"
River Styx came directly to the Pangu Palace, the sacred place of the Wu people. It was obvious that he was challenging the authority of the Wu people. Only the Twelve Zu Wu could enter the Pangu Palace. Even the Grand Wizard Xing Tian, who was in charge of guarding the palace, could only stand guard outside. Unless Zu Wu summoned him, he would not have the chance to enter the Pangu Palace.
In the eyes of the Twelve Zu Wu, River Styx was showing off his strength to the Wu people. He was provoking the Wu people. How could the Twelve Zu Wu not be angry? Di River's words were a show of strength to River Styx. Although they had no intention of snatching the Purple Aura of Hongmeng from River Styx, River Styx was giving them a chance to do so. Many Zu Wu were tempted by Di River's words.
However, there were smart people among the Zu Wu. The Candle Dragon's face was solemn. River Styx was not a fool. He would not risk his life. Moreover, the Candle Dragon could not figure out why River Styx would come here. Could it be that he was just here to show off? Someone who had reached such a high level of cultivation would not be so bored. River Styx's actions must have a deeper meaning.
However, the Candle Dragon could not figure out River Styx's intentions. Logically speaking, after obtaining the Purple Aura of Hongmeng, River Styx should be wholeheartedly cultivating in the Blood Sea. Just like Sanqing, Nüwa, Summon, and Zhunti, after obtaining the Purple Aura of Hongmeng, they were all cultivating in seclusion. They would not be like River Styx, who would openly come to the Wu people's territory. Moreover, the Wu people also wanted to snatch the Purple Aura of Hongmeng.
