The Candle Dragon asked, "May I know what Karma my Daoist Friend owes to Father that you want to repay him with Hongmeng's Purple Qi?" The Twelve Zu Wu would not feel at ease if he did not get to the bottom of this. What if he fell into River Styx's trap? It was better to get to the bottom of this so that he could feel at ease.
River Styx naturally knew what the Candle Dragon was thinking. He said, "Back in Mount Buzhou, the Poor Way received Pangu's legacy and benefited greatly from it. However, Pangu's descendants are only the Twelve Zu Wu and Sanqing. Sanqing already has Hongmeng's Purple Qi, so the Poor Way could only come to you to repay Pangu's Karma."
The Twelve Zu Wu gradually relaxed after hearing River Styx's explanation. The legacy of Pangu must not be too bad if it could benefit River Styx so much. After understanding the cause and effect, the Di River finally made a decision. "Alright, in that case, I agree to the Poor Way's deal."
As soon as Di River said this, the Twelve Zu Wu forced out a drop of Blood Essence and sent it to River Styx along with the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation. River Styx raised his hand and sent the Hongmeng's Purple Qi to the Di River Zu Wu as well.
River Styx took the Blood Essence and the formation map from the Twelve Zu Wu and stood up to leave. Before he left, he turned back and said to the Twelve Ancestors, "Although the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation is powerful, the formation's backlash is also not small. Although the Twelve Zu Wu's bodies are strong, you will not be able to hold on for long. If you can refine twelve Divine Beings Killing Banners and nourish them with your Blood Essence, the banners will bear part of the backlash when you set up the formation."
With that, River Styx left the Pangu Hall. This was all he could say. As for the fate of the Twelve Zu Wu and the Wu people, he did not want to interfere. At this moment, he was incomparably happy. After the Karma of the Pangu Hall was settled, he felt much more relaxed. Even his realm was loosened.
After River Styx left, the Zu Wu looked at the Hongmeng's Purple Qi in Di River's hand. Although their faces were pale from losing a drop of Blood Essence, they could not hide the excitement on their faces. However, there was only one Purple Qi in Hongmeng, and there were twelve Zu Wu people. Who should he give it to?
Di River looked around at his younger siblings and finally said, "Since there is only one Purple Qi in Hongmeng, give it to Sister Houtu!" Houtu was the youngest among them, and the other Zu Wu loved her very much. If he gave it to Houtu, the other Zu Wu would not have any objections.
The Twelve Zu Wu were born from Pangu's Blood Essence and Innate Evil Qi. Houtu was the last Zu Wu to be born. When the Eleven Zu Wu were born, they absorbed a large amount of Innate Evil Qi. By the time Houtu was born, there was not much Innate Evil Qi left. Therefore, among the Twelve Zu Wu, Houtu's personality was the most gentle.
Zu Wu Of Houtu was very beautiful, but she was not the kind of beauty that could cause the downfall of a country. She was gentle, intelligent, and kind. When Zu Wu Of Houtu received the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Di River, the other Zu Wu were not jealous at all. They were only happy for Houtu.
As for River Styx's final suggestion, the other Zu Wu discussed it and agreed that it was feasible. Therefore, the Twelve Zu Wu began to prepare. At the same time, they also had to rest and recuperate to recover from the backlash of the formation and the damage caused by losing a drop of Blood Essence. Fortunately, they had ten thousand years, so there was still time.
In any case, River Styx left the Wu people happily. He lost the useless Hongmeng Purple Qi, but gained the twelve drops of Zu Wu's Blood Essence and the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation. In addition, he also ended Pangu's Karma. He killed two birds with one stone, so it was not a loss.
After leaving Pangu's palace, River Styx rode a cloud and flew toward the Blood Sea. However, after flying for a short distance, when he passed by a valley, he sensed the fluctuation of a formation below. Moreover, in the formation, River Styx also sensed the fluctuation of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots.
The Good Corpse Qiankun Taoist's World of Heaven and Earth needed the Five Elements Spiritual Roots to grow the power of the Five Elements in the world. Since he had encountered it, how could River Styx miss it? He landed on the cloud and came to the valley. There was indeed a formation in the valley, but it was unstable and seemed to disappear at any time.
Minghe scanned the area with his divine thoughts and found that the Formation in the valley was a Formation of Five Elements, which was composed of five Middle Grade Primordial Spiritual Roots as the Formation Eye. What's more, the Formation was not formed naturally, but acquired. It was very generous to use five Middle Grade Primordial Spiritual Roots to set up the Formation. There were not many people or forces in Untainted Land who could not get out of the Formation.
In the Great Desolation, Spiritual Roots were rare. River Styx had searched for so many years, but only found a few Spiritual Roots of Innate Spiritual Roots. However, he found a pile of acquired Spiritual Roots. The five Spiritual Roots used in the formation were even rarer for the Five Elements.
Since the formation was unstable, River Styx did not need to spend much effort. He only needed to find a flaw, and River Styx easily entered the formation. Inside the formation, the power of the Five Elements was abundant. In the center of the formation was a big five-colored egg, and the power of the Five Elements was constantly flowing into it. Joyful laughter also came from the egg.
On the other hand, the Spiritual Roots of Five Elements that were used to arrange the formation were not in a good condition. They were already showing signs of withering, which was the fundamental reason for the fluctuation of the formation. River Styx took a closer look and found that the speed at which the egg was absorbing the power of the Five Elements was faster than the speed at which the Spiritual Roots of Five Elements were produced. The person who arranged the formation might have expected this, and actually tampered with the formation, using the Spiritual Roots of Five Elements to nurture the egg.
The result could be imagined. The essences of the Five Elements Innate Spiritual Roots were slowly absorbed by the egg. In the end, they withered and turned into ashes. If the creature in the egg could not be born at that time, its future cultivation would be affected due to its innate deficiency.
Judging from the state of the egg and its absorption speed, the Spiritual Roots of Five Elements would not be able to last until the creature in the egg was born. However, this also showed the extraordinariness of the creature in the egg. River Styx was also excited at the prospect, and began to deduce the origin of the egg.
Not long after, River Styx already knew the origin of the egg. It was actually a descendant of the Phoenix Clan, and was born by the Phoenix Lord. At that time, the Phoenix Lord was at war with the Demon Clan, so he placed it here to be retrieved in the future. Who would have thought that the Phoenix Lord did not return?
At this point, River Styx could basically guess who the creature in the egg was. He walked up to it. The creature in the egg seemed to have sensed the arrival of River Styx, and the egg began to shake. A tender voice came from inside, "Who are you?"
River Styx said, "I am Patriarch River Styx. Little fellow, do you have a name?" The creature in the egg said, "My name is Kong Xuan. My mother gave me this name. My mother was very powerful, but unfortunately, she died." As River Styx expected, Kong Xuan was the General Commander of the Golden Rooster Ridge of the Shang Dynasty, who shone brilliantly in the War of Gods Investiture.
When it came to the death of his mother, Kong Xuan was obviously depressed. River Styx comforted him, "Kong Xuan, don't be sad. Your mother sacrificed herself for the entire Phoenix Clan. You should be proud of her."
Hearing River Styx's words, Kong Xuan's mood suddenly recovered. His mind was strong. River Styx said, "Kong Xuan, I see that you have extraordinary talent. Are you willing to be my disciple?" Since they had met, how could River Styx let go of such a disciple whose talent was not inferior to Liu Er's?
Kong Xuan said doubtfully, "You want to take me as your disciple? Are you very powerful?" River Styx said with a smile, "Of course. I am even more powerful than your mother." Phoenix Lord was only at the middle stage of Quasi-saint when he was at his strongest. How could he compare with River Styx?
Kong Xuan cried happily, "Really? In that case, as long as you help me heal these five primordial spiritual roots, I will be your disciple. What do you think? " These five primordial spiritual roots could provide Kong Xuan with the Five Elements Spiritual Qi needed for his cultivation. Naturally, he did not want them to wither slowly.
River Styx said with a smile, "That's easy." With a wave of his sleeve, five streams of Sanguang Holy Water flew out and fell on the five primordial spiritual roots. After absorbing the Sanguang Holy Water, the five primordial spiritual roots immediately became vigorous and showed no signs of withering.
Seeing this, Kong Xuan was overjoyed. He immediately shook his egg body and said, "Disciple Kong Xuan pays respect to Master." Kong Xuan was very happy to be his disciple. Although he had not been born, he had seen his mother's spirit. Although River Styx's spirit was restrained, his temperament was incomparable to his mother's. He must be a Taoist master and had a treasure like Sanguang Holy Water. It was not a loss to be his disciple.
Kong Xuan, remember that I am the master of the Blood Sea, Ancestor Minghe. From now on, you are my second disciple. When we return to the Blood Sea, I will introduce you to your Eldest Senior Brother Liu Er. There is only one rule in my sect, that is, you are not allowed to betray your master, kill your ancestors, or kill your fellow disciples. If you violate this rule, I will destroy your cultivation with my own hands, banish your soul to the Nine Serenities, and scatter your soul. "
