River Styx breathed a deep sigh of relief. He had finally reached the Origin. From the moment he arrived at the Great Desolation, River Styx knew that the Great Desolation was a stage for Sages. Therefore, he had never slacked on his cultivation. Now, he had reached the level of Origin Daluo Jinxian. Although he was not a Sage, he was on an equal footing with Sages.
However, the price he had to pay to become a Primordial Chaos cultivator was not small. He sacrificed a whole one-third of the original blood sea to the mirror of Dao, which allowed him to make a great progress in the great Dao of blood. Now, he was even better than Red Lotus' great Dao of killing.
However, there was no gain without loss. Although the Origin of the Blood Sea was seriously damaged and the Fate of the Blood Sea had lost a lot, River Styx's Origin was the biggest gain. Moreover, the Origin of the Blood Sea could be recovered slowly. The Great War of Witch-Demon Tribe was the best time. At that time, blood would flow into the sea to make up for the Origin of the Blood Sea.
As for fate, Minghe had no lack of it. The Asura Tribe and the human race were constantly growing stronger. When the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared, the Asura Tribe would enter the Dao of Asura, one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. By then, their fate would increase greatly. As for the human race, after the Shaman Demon Cataclysm, they would become the masters of heaven and earth. By then, their fate would increase even more.
After reaching the Origin, River Styx used the Rule of Soul to hide the subtle connection between himself and Mu Sen. Although he had only comprehended 60% of the Rule of Soul, the Quasi-saint and the Origin Daluo Jinxian had two completely different results. Now, even if River Styx and Mu Sen appeared in front of Sages, no one would be able to tell the relationship between them.
However, to be safe, River Styx still needed to comprehend the Rule of Soul to 70% of the Origin as soon as possible. It was better to be safe than sorry. If something went wrong, the relationship between River Styx and Mu Sen would be exposed. Although it would not affect Mu Sen's arrangement in the Human Tribe, the other Sages would not let it go and watch River Styx occupy so much Fate in the Human Tribe.
In the past, River Styx was not worried because Nüwa did not value the Human Tribe. Even if she found out River Styx's arrangement in the Human Tribe, she would not do anything. However, things were different now. Lao Tzu had left Kunlun Mountain and traveled the Great Desolation. He must have comprehended a trace of the Opportunity to become a Sage, so he came out to search for it. Now that he was in the Human Tribe, it would not be long before Lao Tzu became a Sage.
Once Lao Tzu became a Sage, it would probably cause a chain reaction. Yuanshi, Tongtian, Summon, and Zhunti would become Sages one after another. By then, there would be six Sages in the Great Desolation and River Styx, the Origin Daluo Jinxian, and a new era would begin.
… ….
In a small tribe of the Human Tribe, an old man with a walking stick looked at the scene in the tribe with a thoughtful expression. This was only an ordinary tribe of the Human Tribe, and there were only a few hundred people living in it. However, such a small tribe had two completely different cultivation methods at the same time. It was really strange.
This old man was naturally Lao Tzu, the leader of the Sanqing. Hundreds of years ago, Lao Tzu comprehended the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Kunlun Mountain in hopes of becoming a Sage as soon as possible. However, he did not gain anything until one day, he suddenly remembered what Hong Jun said when he was dividing the treasures. Using Lingbao to suppress the teachings? Could it be that Hong Jun wanted him to establish a sect?
Thinking of this, the Hongmeng Purple Qi actually throbbed slightly. Could it be that he was right? However, Lao Tzu immediately frowned. If he could become a Sage by establishing a sect, then the race that inherited the teachings would definitely be extraordinary. However, now that the Hundred Races of the Great Desolation had gradually merged with the current Demon Race, the Demon Race already had Sage Nüwa and the Demon Emperor Di Jun. It was almost impossible for him to spread his teachings among the Demon Race.
The only race that could rival the Demon Race was the Wu people. Fundamentally speaking, the Sanqing and the Wu people both originated from Pangu and were somewhat related. However, among the Wu people, they only believed in Pangu, the Father God, and would not accept his teachings at all. Furthermore, the Wu people did not have a Primordial Spirit, so how could they pass on his teachings?
However, other than the Shaman and Demon Race, where else could he spread his teachings? Could it be that he had to find the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, and Kirin Race that had already declined? Although the three races were very strong in the past, they had already withdrawn from the stage of the Great Desolation. Only the Dragon Race was still active in the Four Seas. The Phoenix Race and Kirin Race had already disappeared without a trace.
However, the three races were the survivors of the previous Great Desolation, and they also bore the karma of the previous Great Desolation. If he spread his teachings among the three races, Lao Tzu would definitely be tainted with the karma of the previous Great Desolation. This karma was not easy to repay, so he could only give up.
Since that was the case, then which race should he establish his teachings among? Lao Tzu frowned for a moment. Although there were many races in the Great Desolation, how many were suitable for him to spread his teachings among? After pondering for a long time, Lao Tzu still could not come up with an answer. Thus, he decided to travel around personally to see if he could find a suitable race to pass down his teachings to.
After bidding farewell to Yuanshi and the Tongtian, Lao Tzu embarked on his journey alone. Yuanshi and the Tongtian were not worried about Lao Tzu's safety. Lao Tzu was a late-stage Quasi-saint expert who had severed the Good and Evil Separations. Furthermore, he had the innate treasure, the Tai Chi Diagram, protecting him. In the Great Desolation, there were very few people who could match him, unless a Saint made a move. However, don't forget that Lao Tzu was the disciple of Hongjun Daozu. Perhaps even Nüwa and River Styx would not make a move against Lao Tzu.
Other than the Kunlun Mountains, Lao Tzu saw scenes of killing and fighting. It was completely different from the tranquility of the Kunlun Mountains. Lao Tzu was indifferent by nature. Naturally, he did not like such a scene. How could such a race be worthy of passing down his teachings to him, the Taiqing Taoism?
However, after traveling for hundreds of years, Lao Tzu saw the same races. There were constant killings and conflicts within the races. Liches and demons were like fire and water. Although Hongjun Daozu had ordered the Liches and demons not to fight for ten thousand years, that was only for the Demons of the Celestial Court and the Wu people of the Great Desolation. The Demons and Wu people of the Great Desolation were still killing each other.
The Cataclysm had erupted for thousands of years. The Evil Spirit between the Heavens and Earth was getting thicker by the day. There was no sign of it decreasing. If this continued, after ten thousand years, the Evil Spirit between the Heavens and Earth would explode. The battle between the Liches and Demons would definitely be a battle to the death between the two races. Even if the two races could spread their teachings, it would most likely be affected.
Was there really not a single race that liked peace? Unknowingly, Lao Tzu had arrived at the territory of the Human Race. Compared to the outside world, the Human Race was much quieter and more peaceful. This was a scene that other races did not have. This made Lao Tzu happy.
Although the Human Race was created by Nüwa, few people of the Great Desolation paid attention to them. Even Nüwa herself did not care about the life and death of the Human Race, let alone the others. However, the Human Race continued to grow under the leadership of the Four Ancestors of the Human Race. When Lao Tzu returned from Wahuang Heaven, he was deeply moved by the miracles created by the Human Race.
Since then, Lao Tzu had never paid attention to the Human Race again. However, when he came to the Human Race this time, Lao Tzu was extremely surprised. In just a few thousand years, the Human Race had developed to such an extent. Their territory had expanded, and their strength had increased. Even the Demon Race of the Great Desolation was no longer a match for the Human Race. Was this really a race that had only been born for a few thousand years?
When he thought about how Nüwa could become a Saint by creating humans, Lao Tzu's heart became excited. Could it be that the Human Race had some mysterious existence? With this thought in mind, Lao Tzu began to travel among the Human Race. Although the Human Race often had conflicts with the Demon Race, the Human Race was peaceful. At least, there were no conflicts between the tribes. This made Lao Tzu very happy.
While observing the Human Race, Lao Tzu also discovered that there were two completely different cultivation methods among the Human Race. One was the Path of Immortality, and the other was the Path of Martial Arts. Moreover, it was obvious that the Path of Martial Arts suppressed the Path of Immortality. This made Lao Tzu very surprised. He originally cultivated the Path of Immortality. Now that he saw that there was a Path of Immortality that could suppress the Path of Immortality, how could he not be surprised?
However, Lao Tzu soon discovered that it was not the Path of Martial Arts that suppressed the Path of Immortality. It was just that the Human Race lacked a complete Path of Immortality. However, the Path of Martial Arts was different. This path was created by the Human Race's Wu Zu, and it had a complete Path of Martial Arts. Naturally, the Human Race was more willing to cultivate the Path of Martial Arts.
Moreover, Lao Tzu also discovered that although the Path of Martial Arts was complete, the path of cultivation required great perseverance. This was also the reason why, although the Human Race had a large number of people who cultivated the Path of Martial Arts, they only suppressed the Path of Immortality and did not completely replace it. Once the complete Path of Immortality was introduced to the Human Race, the Human Race's Path of Martial Arts would immediately be greatly impacted.
