Chapter 72 Zixiao's Third Lecture: Hongjun's Worries Before Merging with the Dao
Chapter 72 Zixiao's Three Lectures, Hongjun's Worries Before Attaining Dao
So, is a Quasi-Saint achieved through the method of severing the Three Corpses by a Great Luo Golden Immortal simply another form of Primordial Golden Immortal, or a Great Luo Golden Immortal possessing the power of a Primordial Golden Immortal? Styx pondered, because—
It is far too easy for someone at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm to capture their own evil thoughts, good thoughts, and obsessions, and then sever the three corpses. Styx could not understand the difficulty that many great beings faced in severing even one corpse after countless years and many opportunities.
Even if it is necessary to find a suitable spiritual treasure that aligns with one's own Dao, it is not that difficult, especially since Styx, as a Primordial Golden Immortal, can already be compatible with many Daos.
However, after thinking about this question, Styx felt a tremor in his primordial spirit. Clearly, this question involved many things and was terrifying, so it should not be investigated too deeply.
At this moment, Styx, standing on the Twelve-Petaled Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, headed towards the chaos beyond the heavens.
Previously, to improve one's primordial spirit cultivation, the Blood Sea was naturally a more stable place. But now that Styx only needs to stabilize his own realm, the outer chaos is more suitable.
His new divine body, forged from the essence of Pangu's blood, can control chaos. Just as the twelve ancestral witches need to absorb turbid energy to improve themselves, they need to absorb chaos as nourishment to enhance their physical realm.
Some time later, the three lectures at Zixiao Palace were about to begin. Minghe, who had stabilized his cultivation, arrived at the gate of Zixiao Palace early, waiting for the gate to open and for Hongjun to begin his lecture.
Before the arrival of the River Styx, several powerful beings had also come here, but they were all only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. They had not severed their three corpses and did not have any spiritual treasures to protect them. They were struggling to resist the invasion of chaos.
Unexpectedly, after the arrival of the River Styx, the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened.
"Fellow Daoist Haotian?" Upon seeing Haotian and Yaochi emerge from the door, each standing on a lotus platform of karmic fire, Styx was somewhat puzzled.
Before this, the gates of Zixiao Palace always opened and closed on time; such a situation had never occurred before.
"Fellow Daoist Styx, you've had a hard time in the Chaos. Please come to Zixiao Palace." Haotian looked at Styx and invited him with a smile.
After pondering for a moment, Styx entered the Purple Cloud Palace with Haotian.
Then, the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly closed.
Several powerful beings who had arrived early and waited patiently in the chaos were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Is this right?
They arrived early to emulate the River Styx and demonstrate their loyalty to the Dao Ancestor, but now—
In the end, they could do nothing but be bewildered by the endless chaos of earth, water, wind, and fire.
As soon as Styx entered Zixiao Palace, Hongjun was already sitting firmly in the main seat. He looked at Styx, who had been led into Zixiao Palace by Haotian and Yaochi, and nodded with a smile.
"Dao Ancestor." Styx looked at Hongjun, his expression respectful, and he bowed with his hands clasped in a manner that left no room for criticism.
"Hmm, you've arrived." Hongjun looked at the Styx River, nodded, and praised, "Not bad, you haven't been lazy in your cultivation these past few days."
"The Dao Ancestor has taught us everything, how could I possibly fail him?" Styx looked at Hongjun and continued to speak kindly.
"What you say is very true," Hongjun said with emotion upon hearing this.
How could the Three Pure Ones, as His disciples, not understand this principle?
If I had spent those years cultivating, I might have already reached the level of severing the two corpses. But I didn't. Instead, I colluded with Di Jun and others to rehearse the plan to surround and kill Styx.
What wrong did Styx do by being loyal to Him, the Dao Ancestor?
He could not allow the Styx River to be harmed by the Three Pure Ones and Emperor Jun.
"After this sermon, I will unite myself with the Dao to rectify the loopholes in the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World," Hongjun said gently, looking at the Styx River.
Although the Styx River promoted the Path of Earthly Immortals, forcing Him to change His plans and making it even more difficult to completely take control of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, the Path of Earthly Immortals also greatly increased the fortune of the Immortal Dao, making it much easier for Him to merge with the Dao than before.
The path to merging with the Dao is inevitable. After that, we can take complete control of the prehistoric world and then make further plans.
"The Dao Ancestor is benevolent!"
"The Dao Ancestor's union with the Dao is a truly meritorious act, and your disciple, Styx, rejoices for you." Styx looked at Hongjun, as if he had let something slip, and although his words were filled with joy, his face revealed a hint of sadness.
Although Styx and I are not formally teacher and student, we are in fact teacher and student; he regards me as his teacher. Upon seeing this, Hongjun sighed.
At the same time, seeing the sorrowful expression on Styx's face, Hongjun couldn't help but feel curious.
Didn't you say you were happy for me? Why are you sad again?
"Why do you look so sad?" Hongjun asked, looking at the Styx River.
Hongjun did not directly use his saintly cultivation to discern the thoughts of the Styx, whom he trusted greatly. Of course, even if Hongjun had done so, he would not have been able to see the problem under the cover of the Chaos Pearl.
"The Dao of Heaven is vast and boundless. The Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, thus achieving the Dao of the Primordial World. But how could he protect himself?"
If the Dao Ancestor were to merge with the Dao, would his disciple still have the opportunity to repay the Dao Ancestor in the future? Styx looked at Hongjun in front of him with a sorrowful expression, which made people feel that his feelings were sincere and heartfelt.
"Be lenient with me." Hongjun looked at the Styx River, moved, and then smiled.
"The Eastern King is incompetent and not capable of stopping the war and governing the current era. I wish to re-establish the Immortal Leader. Who do you think is capable of undertaking this great task?" Hongjun looked at the Styx River with a gentle smile and asked.
Who would you choose? Hongjun looked at Styx, pondering to himself. He had only asked this question casually, since Styx's actions were all in line with the general trend of the primordial heavenly way.
If one were to choose the one most beneficial to oneself, then the Styx should choose Dijiang, since the Wu tribe can now be considered "immortals" in a nutshell.
If we were to choose the primordial world, there would be many options, but the best choices, whether it be the Three Pure Ones or Emperor Jun, are now standing on the opposite side of Styx. In fact, Emperor Jun and the Three Pure Ones are even preparing to ambush and kill Styx after this sermon ends.
Of course, Hongjun had already made the best preparations for the Three Pure Ones' plan. After the Three Lectures began, he would hand it over to Styx in front of all the great powers to protect it. However, at this moment, Hongjun still wanted to hear Styx's insights.
Styx was also taken aback upon hearing this. Change the immortal leader?
Did this actually happen?
Even if it happened, could he possibly say it?
However, since Hongjun had asked, Styx had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak. As for who should be replaced as the Immortal Leader, Styx pondered for a moment and came up with a plan.
"Since the Dao Ancestor has asked, this disciple dares not refuse to answer."
The leader of the immortals must command and educate all immortals and bring peace to the primordial world. In my opinion, the leader of the immortals must be deeply versed in the true teachings of the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor's disciples, as well as the Daoists of Haotian and Yaochi, are all suitable candidates.
"Fellow Daoist Haotian is the most suitable." Styx looked at Hongjun and replied respectfully.
Styx's answer was somewhat unexpected for Hongjun, and even Haotian, who was standing to the side, was quite surprised.
Me? The Immortal Head?
