Chapter 79: Great Joy in the West, Strange Movements in the Blood Sea
Because of the existence of two religions, Kunlun Mountain could not bear the fortune of two Heavenly Saints. Therefore, Taishang took the initiative to suggest to Yuanshi that they leave Kunlun Mountain and come to the Southern Continent. They found a blessed land near the human territory, Shouyang Mountain, and established the Bajing Palace as the Taoist temple of the Human Religion.
The separation of the Two Pure Ones caused an uproar in the prehistoric world. Since the return of the Six Sages, Hongjun has merged with the Heavenly Dao and has been active in the prehistoric world. The prehistoric Xuanmen (mysterious sects) have been led by Kunlun Mountain. Taishang, as the senior disciple of the Xuanmen, and Yuanshi as an assistant, have two sages in one sect, which is enough to suppress the other Heavenly Dao Sages. Even the Western Sect, which also has two sages in one sect, cannot compare with Kunlun Mountain. But now that the Two Pure Ones have separated, the situation of Kunlun Mountain's dominance is gone forever, and it is likely that the Xuanmen will be stirred up internally.
"Hahaha, the Erqing have split up! Good riddance!" In Mount Sumeru, upon learning of the Erqing's split, Zhunti couldn't stop smiling. Although the Xuan Chu lineage was now at odds with the Xuanmen, Mount Sumeru's greatest rival had never been the Xuan Chu lineage, but rather Mount Kunlun. Whether before or after becoming a saint, Mount Kunlun had always been an insurmountable mountain for Mount Sumeru. Even Tongtian's departure only slightly narrowed the gap between the two sides. After all, Taishang's strength was unparalleled within the Xuanmen. Although Yuanshi was a bit weaker, he was still comparable to Jieyin. Zhunti, on the other hand, was simply too weak, almost at the bottom among the saints. Even Zhen Yuanzi, who became a saint later than him, was slightly stronger than him, which was quite embarrassing.
Now that the two Qing families have separated, although the reason for the separation is unclear, one thing is certain: no matter how good the relationship between the two Qing families is, it is impossible for them to be as close as before. This gives the Western religion an opportunity to develop.
"Junior brother, I always feel that the sudden split between the two Qing families is probably not so simple." Compared to Zhunti's good mood, Jieyin was not so optimistic. He always felt that the split between the two Qing families was not a falling out, but had other purposes.
"Senior brother, you're overthinking it. Don't we know the personalities of the Three Pure Ones after all these years? Taishang is indeed a remarkable person, and Tongtian is straightforward and easy to get along with. Only Yuanshi is stubborn and arrogant. Yuanshi bears a great deal of responsibility for Tongtian's departure. Even if the two Pure Ones didn't fall out after separating, think about it: Kunlun Mountain is the place where the Three Pure Ones took human form. Even if they were to separate, it should be Taishang, the eldest, who should stay on Kunlun Mountain. But it's Yuanshi, the second eldest, who stayed. Do you think Taishang will be content with that? Don't worry, the troubles between the two Pure Ones will only increase in the future," Zhunti said with a smile.
"I hope so. But no matter what, the separation of the Erqing family is a good thing for our Western Sect. As for what will happen in the future, let's see how both sides plan." Jieyin nodded and said. After all, the separation of the Erqing family is a good thing for the Western Sect. Since it is a good thing, there is no need to worry too much.
Pangu Palace
Xuan Chu also learned of the news of the Two Pure Ones' separation, but he was not surprised because he had known this day would come. Moreover, the separation was much later than he had expected. In his previous life, the Three Pure Ones separated not long after they became saints. In this life, because Tongtian was missing, Kunlun Mountain did not have three saints, only two. Kunlun Mountain could barely hold on, which is why it was delayed until after the Lich War. However, with the continuous increase in the fortunes of the Human Sect and the Chan Sect, the separation was only a matter of time.
Another Yuanhui passed. With the Lich King withdrawing from the struggle for the protagonist of the primordial world and the Human Race being designated as the new protagonist, the primordial fortune began to continuously shift towards the Human Race. The increase in fortune greatly enhanced the internal strength of the Human Race. The Three Ancestors of the Human Race, as the leaders of the Human Race, directly broke through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm by relying on the enormous fortune. However, not many people in the primordial world knew about the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, so most people still believed that the Three Ancestors of the Human Race had only broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm.
Blood Sea, Underworld Palace
Since the Lich War, Styx had been in seclusion in the Underworld Palace, focusing all his efforts on breaking through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm. After participating in stabilizing the prehistoric world and gaining some merit, Styx successfully advanced to the late stage of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm. In addition, with the improvement of the Underworld, the Asura realm in the Six Paths of Reincarnation brought Styx immense fortune, causing his strength to increase day by day, and he soon advanced to the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.
On this day, the Blood Sea underwent an unusual movement, with countless spiritual energies converging towards it, attracting the attention of the entire prehistoric world, especially the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao. Ever since they learned that Styx had become Xuan Chu's disciple, they had never stopped paying attention to the Blood Sea. However, the depths of the Blood Sea were the Netherworld, which was Houtu's territory. Therefore, even though they knew that the Blood Sea was under unusual activity, the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao did not dare to go to the Blood Sea rashly and could only silently watch everything that happened in the Blood Sea.
Upon learning of the unusual activity in the Blood Sea outside the Underworld Palace, Houtu immediately came here. In the Blood Sea, only she and Styx could cause such fluctuations in spiritual energy. Considering Styx's cultivation level before his seclusion, Houtu suspected that Styx was about to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. To prevent the interference of the Six Sages of Heaven, Houtu came to the Underworld Palace as soon as possible.
"Greetings, Goddess Houtu." Upon seeing Houtu's arrival, the four Asura Kings—Mara, Shiva, Brahma, and the Desire Realm—bowed to her.
"No need for formalities!" Houtu waved her hand and said, "Junior Brother Styx is about to break through, and I'm afraid the people of the Xuanmen will be moved by the news. Four Asura Kings, listen to my command, you must go to the outside of the Blood Sea to take up a post. No one is allowed to trespass into the Blood Sea. I will keep an eye on things here."
"This..." Upon hearing Houtu's words, the four Asura Kings hesitated. They knew about Houtu's relationship with the Styx River, but Houtu was not a member of the Asura clan. Should they obey Houtu's orders?
"Why aren't you going yet? Do you think I would harm Junior Brother Styx?" Houtu frowned and said, seeing that the four Asura Kings remained unmoved.
"No, I'll go right away!" Seeing that Houtu was angry, the four Asura Kings quickly left.
Not long after the Four Asura Kings left, Xuan Chu appeared silently outside the Underworld Palace.
"Greetings, Uncle!" Houtu bowed quickly upon seeing Xuan Chu arrive.
"No need for formalities!" Xuan Chu waved his hand and said, "Today is the day that Styx attains the Dao and becomes a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. To prevent anyone from causing trouble, I have come to oversee the proceedings."
Xuan Chu clearly stated his purpose for coming. After all, Minghe was Xuan Chu's only disciple, and Xuan Chu certainly couldn't miss such a momentous event as Minghe's attainment of enlightenment. Moreover, he was here to prevent anyone from sabotaging the project, and it was obvious who he was guarding against.
As the spiritual energy gathered to a peak, the two immortal swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi, flew out of the Underworld Palace and headed straight for the heavens. The Styx River also transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the Sea of Blood.
"Houtu, the Styx River is about to attain enlightenment, let's go and see," Xuan Chu said.
"Yes, Uncle!" Houtu replied.
After Styx flew out of the Blood Sea and had just gained a foothold, the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus flew over from Golden Turtle Island. In fact, after Kong Xuan and Golden Roc emerged from seclusion, Tongtian had been thinking of returning the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus to Styx, but Styx was in seclusion and Tongtian couldn't find an opportunity, so he kept it safe. Now that Styx was about to attain enlightenment, the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus was also moved and flew directly from Golden Turtle Island to Styx's side.
Styx smiled as he looked at the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus before him, then stepped onto it and headed straight for the Nine Heavens. Countless spiritual energies gathered around Styx, causing his cultivation level to rise continuously. Meanwhile, beyond the Nine Heavens, thunder rumbled, and the Heavenly Tribulation was brewing.
