Since the Green Lotus of Chaos could not be restored, he had to change his train of thought. He could use the Red Lotus of Fire to devour the origin of the other three lotuses and evolve it. Even if it could not break through to the level of Chaotic Lingbao, it could at least become a Primordial Treasure.
With this idea in mind, River Styx could not wait to cultivate the three Green Lotus Seeds into the Ninth Grade Green Lotus of Fate. As for the Black Lotus of Destruction and the Golden Lotus of Merit, it would not be easy to obtain them or their seeds.
The owner of the Black Lotus of Destruction was Rho, the Devil Lord. It was impossible to snatch the Black Lotus of Destruction from him. The Golden Lotus of Merit should be in the hands of Hongjun. Later, the Purple Cloud Palace gave the sermon to Summon. It was still possible to obtain it from Summon.
Thinking of this, River Styx suddenly remembered something. The Mosquito Taoist, the first mosquito after the creation of the sky, was born in the Blood Sea. During the Apotheosized War, the Summon imprisoned the Mosquito Taoist with the Golden Lotus of Merit. In the end, the Mosquito Taoist ate the Third-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit. However, it was too long ago for River Styx to wait that long.
In short, this was a long and arduous task. There was no hurry. River Styx's top priority was to refine the Pangu Chalcedony. As soon as the Pangu Chalcedony entered his body, he felt his body begin to change. Fortunately, this place was protected by a large formation and was an excellent place to practice.
Just in case, River Styx summoned the Red Lotus of Fire. Sitting cross-legged on the lotus seat, River Styx began to operate his cultivation method with all his might. The Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud between his eyebrows began to release large amounts of thunder and lightning to help River Styx complete the transformation of his body.
As soon as River Styx began to circulate his energy, the Pangu Chalcedony began to melt at an accelerated rate. It turned into a surging energy that flowed through River Styx's body and was gradually absorbed and digested. At almost every moment, the strength of River Styx's body was increasing. This was the amazing effect of the Pangu Chalcedony.
A few days later, River Styx's mortal body and Nascent Divinity had both reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Above his head, the three flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man were budding. All of a sudden, River Styx's aura skyrocketed, and the three flowers above his head slowly bloomed.
River Styx opened his eyes and gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi. His face was full of joy. Daluo Jinxian. After cultivating for tens of thousands of years, he had finally stepped into the realm of Daluo Jinxian. It was different from the previous realms. It could be said that the realm of Daluo Jinxian was the beginning of cultivation.
Only after stepping into the realm of Daluo Jinxian could one be considered to have the same lifespan as Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon. Of course, the premise was that one was not involved in the Cataclysm. Once one was involved in the Cataclysm, even the Daluo Jinxian could fall. Countless Daluo Jinxian had died in the Cataclysm of Dragon Han, the Cataclysm of Witches and Demons, and the War of Investiture of the Gods. Even many Quasi-saint had died.
Why was it said that stepping into the realm of Daluo Jinxian was the true beginning of cultivation? The fundamental reason was the law. After entering the realm of Daluo Jinxian, one could begin to understand the law. Only then could one truly feel the mighty force of Heaven and Earth and begin to comprehend the Tendo.
The power of the law was the mighty force of Heaven and Earth. The reason why Saints were powerful was because they had entrusted their Primordial Spirit to the Tendo. In this way, they could better comprehend the Tendo. During battle, they could also borrow the power of the Law of Tendo. As long as any attack had the power of the Law, its power would increase greatly. This was also the reason why it was said that those below the Saints were ants.
However, the power of the law was not that easy to comprehend. The so-called Three Thousand Great Daos were Three Thousand Laws. Some people might not be able to comprehend the power of the law in their entire lives. Opportunities and comprehension were indispensable. Even if one could comprehend the law, it was extremely difficult to continuously deepen the comprehension of the law.
On the other hand, when Minghe broke through into the Golden Immortal Realm, he'd faintly comprehended the existence of the Laws. To his surprise, he'd actually comprehended two Laws. One was the Laws of Slaughter, and the other was the Laws of Soul. The Laws of Slaughter were absolutely one of the Laws with the strongest offensive strength amongst the Laws, whereas the Laws of Soul were comparatively strange and difficult to comprehend.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it was normal that River Styx could comprehend these two laws. The Asura Clan that he would create in the future was a clan of slaughter. As long as the Blood Sea did not dry up, River Styx would not die. This was the embodiment of the Law of Soul. Even if his physical body was destroyed, River Styx could borrow the Blood God's soul to be reborn in the Blood Sea. He was definitely an unkillable cockroach.
After comprehending the law, River Styx could be considered as a true expert. A person who comprehended the law could be said to be invincible among those of the same level. They could even fight against those of a higher level. However, the law was not that easy to cultivate. River Styx had comprehended the Law of Slaughter and the Law of Soul, but he had only just started. Only through long-term comprehension could he deepen his comprehension of these two laws.
His cultivation base had broken through to the level of Daluo Jinxian, and his physical body was comparable to a mid-tier innate Lingbao. He just did not know how it would compare to Zu Wu's body. Since that was the case, this trip to Mount Buzhou could be considered complete. After touring Mount Buzhou and seeing if there were any more treasures, River Styx planned to leave this place and return to the Blood Sea to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time.
However, before that, River Styx had one more thing to do, and that was to preach. Of course, it was not River Styx himself who would preach the Dao. Instead, he would place the 3,600 Enlightenment Tablets that he had previously refined at the foot of Mount Buzhou. He would set up a simple formation on each of the Enlightenment Tablets, and then use his transcendence energy to create a phenomenon on Mount Buzhou. As long as any living creature came to the foot of Mount Buzhou, they would have a chance to find the Enlightenment Tablets.
Although this was not as good as preaching the Dao directly, it was much safer! Now was not the time for River Styx's fame to spread through the Great Desolation, so he had to keep a low profile. As for who would obtain the Enlightenment Tablets, what did that have to do with River Styx?
A hundred years later, River Styx had finished touring Mount Buzhou. However, other than the two previous gains, he did not find any other Lingbao Spiritual Roots that caught his eye. Fortunately, River Styx was a person who knew how to be content. If he obtained something, he would be lucky, but if he did not, he would be doomed. Greed was not a good habit.
As for the 3,600 Enlightenment Tablets, they were all placed at the foot of Mount Buzhou by River Styx. Before leaving Mount Buzhou, River Styx set up a simple Rainbow Glow Formation. This formation was not very useful, but it could release some Rainbow Glow, as if a Lingbao was about to be born.
After setting up everything, River Styx left Mount Buzhou on a cloud. He did not stop along the way and went straight to the Blood Sea. He had just broken through to the Daluo Jinxian Realm, so he needed some time to stabilize his cultivation. Furthermore, he was fascinated by the wonders of comprehending the Power of Law. He was in a hurry to go back because he wanted to comprehend it properly. After all, the cultivation of the Power of Law was the foundation.
… ….
Seven-colored light appeared in Mount Buzhou. Such a phenomenon naturally attracted countless living beings living nearby. Although the pressure of Mount Buzhou was terrifying, it was still relatively weak at the foot of the mountain. These living beings attracted by the phenomenon naturally went forward, wanting to find out what was going on.
Countless living beings came to the foot of Mount Buzhou, and the Enlightenment Tablets' existence was naturally discovered. Mount Buzhou was vast and boundless, and although 3,600 Enlightenment Tablets sounded like a lot, it was like a drop of water falling into the sea when placed at the foot of Mount Buzhou. It could be said that it was pitifully little. However, River Styx only wanted to earn some merit, so he was too lazy to make more.
News of the Enlightenment Tablets at the foot of Mount Buzhou spread like wildfire, and more living beings of the Great Desolation dared to come. Even the powerful races of the Great Desolation were no exception. It was no wonder that River Styx's cultivation method, although not profound, was extremely precious to the common living beings of the Great Desolation.
Although some races had innate demon gods with innate inheritances, they would not casually spread their cultivation methods. Even among their own race, they would at most pass down some simple cultivation methods. The appearance of the Enlightenment Tablets happened to break this rule.
As more and more Enlightenment Tablets were unearthed, the cultivation methods gradually spread throughout the Great Desolation. For a moment, the Great Desolation calmed down, and the living beings of the Great Desolation who obtained the cultivation methods threw themselves into a frenzy of cultivation. However, this was like the calm before the storm on the sea, and it was unlikely that it would last long.
Power was the capital of a battle, and profit was the reason for a battle. When one had power, one would pursue greater power and a better living environment. The Enlightenment Tablets were like the keys to a cage. In the past, the cage would break, but that would take time. However, the Enlightenment Tablets had opened the lock of the cage in advance, and released the beast inside. What would the result be?
… ….
After the Enlightenment Tablets were all discovered, River Styx immediately knew that it was because the heavens had bestowed him with merit to preach the Great Desolation. After all, this was the first time he preached in the Great Desolation, and the merit was not small either. It was about one percent of the merit of opening the heavens, which was considered a good reward.
At the same time, River Styx also discovered something shocking. The heavens had released killing intent, which was not a good sign. It meant that the first Cultivation Tribulation after the opening of the sky had begun. River Styx, who had comprehended the law of slaughter, was extremely sensitive to Evil Spirit, and the Evil Spirit in the world had begun to increase.
River Styx did not expect that the first Cultivation Tribulation after the opening of the sky would be brought forward in order to earn some merit. He did not know whether it was good or bad, and no matter what, River Styx did not want to participate in the Cultivation Tribulation for the time being. His top priority was to return to the Blood Sea and cultivate for a period of time. Anyway, the Cultivation Tribulation had just begun, and the protagonists of this Cultivation Tribulation, the Dragon, the Phoenix, and the Kirin races, had not reached 30 percent of the Great Desolation yet. There was still plenty of time.
… ….
The heavens had bestowed merit, the heavens had released killing intent, and the Evil Spirit in the world had grown. These strange phenomena naturally could not escape the eyes of some people with profound magical power. In a celestial mountain in the Great Desolation, an old Taoist was sitting cross-legged with a partially broken jade butterfly in his hand. Looking at these strange phenomena, he frowned and muttered to himself, "The heavens have changed. The Cultivation Tribulation has arrived, and my opportunity is coming soon."
… ….
The western region of the Great Desolation was not as barren as the legends said. On the contrary, it was not much worse than the eastern region. In a pitch-black mountain, the Evil Spirit was pervading the air, and a terrifying laughter could be heard from it, "Haha! The heavens have released killing intent, and the heavenly secrets are in chaos. My opportunity has arrived, and it's time for me to take action. Pangu, I still have to thank you for opening up this world of the Great Desolation! Otherwise, how could I achieve Dao … Haha … "
