People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 305 Styx Seeks Instructions on Breakthrough Techniques; Blood Sea Can Be Used for Severing Corpses! (11)

"Fellow Daoist Yang Xuan, I have a question to ask you about my journey to Heaven."

Upon witnessing Yang Xuan effortlessly mobilizing the power of heaven and earth, as if his words were law, Daoist Styx immediately bowed to Yang Xuan.

"Please speak plainly, Daoist Master."

Yang Xuan nodded, not surprised. If the Styx Daoist didn't have some purpose, why would he go to such lengths to travel all the way to Kyushu to have a chance encounter with the Black Lotus?

Moreover, for Daoist Styx to be able to 'accidentally' meet Black Lotus in Kyushu, he would have to know that Black Lotus was in Kyushu, and this process of finding out would obviously have taken some effort.

He certainly didn't believe that the Styx Daoist had no needs.

After taking the Black Lotus and Yang Tianyou into his sleeve world, Yang Xuan had already prepared himself mentally. However, he couldn't figure out what the Styx Daoist really wanted.

Once someone reaches the level of the Styx Daoist, there are probably not many things he would actively ask for.

There are very few things that require one to actively curry favor with Yang Xuan, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, or to ask him for help.

"You can't possibly want to become an official in Heaven, can you? You should go to the Heavenly Emperor, Haotian."

"Could it be that he wants to seek a divine position in the underworld and gain some merit, hoping I will ask that goddess to plead for him?"

After much thought, Yang Xuan still felt that this was the most likely possibility.

After all, when Styx planned to establish local rules to announce the underground passage, he offended Houtu once.

Given his past behavior, even with the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint of the Second Corpse, it would be difficult for him to secure a suitable divine position in the Underworld and steadily accumulate merit.

Yang Xuan is currently the top official in the Underworld and is not in the Netherworld. If Styx really wants to become a ghost or god in the Underworld, seeking help from Yang Xuan becomes the only option.

"But the problem is, I'm afraid I don't have that much influence. Who the hell made you so stubborn as to dare to provoke even a saint..."

Yang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine whenever he recalled Houtu's palm strike that slammed into the sea of ​​blood.

Looking across the entire prehistoric world, probably only a stubborn guy like Styx would dare to do something like this, and he's still doing fine!
Just as Yang Xuan was complaining, what Daoist Styx said was completely unexpected.

"Does my friend know how this humble Taoist can sever another corpse?"

Yang Xuan: ???
No, what are you talking about? Sever another corpse? Do you want to listen to what you're saying? You, a quasi-saint with two corpses, are asking me, someone who has never severed a corpse, how to sever another one?
"What's wrong with all these powerful beings in the primordial world? Why do they all like to ask me about the matter of severing corpses? It was like this in December, and now it's the same in the Styx River. You all think too highly of me..."

Yang Xuan tried his best to control himself, which kept his expression from changing much.

He was just a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and he hadn't even figured out how to sever his own corpse. Even though he benefited greatly from listening to the Dao Ancestor's sermon in Zixiao Palace, he only understood the method of severing the three corpses.

But asking him to help Styx sever the corpse is truly asking too much of a question.

but……

If it's just some vague or misleading advice, then it's not a big problem.

"I just don't know if Daoist Styx will believe it..."

Yang Xuan stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Based on the fact that Styx gave him the Black Lotus, Yang Xuan could be fairly certain that Styx Daoist had no ill intentions towards him. If he could build a good relationship with him, he might be able to ask him for help in the future.

In this era where no sub-sages appear and no saints are revealed, the Styx Daoist, a quasi-saint with two corpses, is definitely one of the strongest beings in the primordial world.

In terms of combat power, Daoist Styx is proficient in the Great Dao of Slaughter and possesses two powerful weapons of slaughter, Abi and Yuan Tu. He was born for battle.

In terms of survival ability, the Styx Taoist is said to be able to survive as long as the Blood Sea never dries up and the Styx River never dies, so he doesn't need to worry about dying at all.

If you push him too far, he'll dare to confront even a saint. What wouldn't he dare to do?
If Yang Xuan could get help from the Styx River, he would be able to proceed with his plans more freely in the future.

If reasoning fails, or if the only solution is force, the Styx Taoist can certainly give the other party a surprise.

However, to Minghe, Yang Xuan's thoughtful expression meant that Yang Xuan did indeed have some ideas, but was hesitating whether to tell him.

Without much hesitation, Daoist Styx immediately added:

"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. I just grabbed the Black Lotus on a whim and gave it to you as a gift. If you can instruct me to sever another corpse, I will surely reward you handsomely!"

"If you have any spiritual items that you fancy, please let me know."

"I am quite confident in my cultivation. As long as you take a fancy to something, whether it has an owner or not, I can snatch it for you!"

In the end, the Styx Daoist's eyes flashed with blood-red light, and his whole body exuded pure killing intent, as if he wanted to slaughter all things in the world.

Yang Xuan also came to his senses at this moment. Although the killing intent was not directed at him, it still made him feel terrified.

If Styx wanted to kill him, it would probably just take a little more time.

Putting aside his stubbornness, Daoist Styx is definitely the most powerful fighter!
"I am merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal; I cannot presume to offer guidance."

Yang Xuan quickly calmed his mind, smiled and waved his hand. After a moment's pause, he continued:
"However, I do have some immature suggestions, but I don't know if I should say them?"

"Fellow Daoist, please speak frankly!"

Without a second thought, Styx nodded eagerly.

During the years he 'encountered' Black Lotus, he meticulously analyzed Yang Xuan's development history, and thus gained a relatively clear understanding of Yang Xuan.

Styx knew that Yang Xuan never did anything without being sure of success, and that he had never failed in anything he did.

At least Styx didn't know when Yang Xuan had ever failed.

Since Yang Xuan doesn't do things he's not sure about, it's unlikely he would say anything he's not sure about either.

Therefore, since Yang Xuan said so, it can at least be confirmed that what he thought of has a certain degree of feasibility.

For the Styx, even if it is of only some use, the trip will not have been in vain!

Seeing this, Yang Xuan had no intention of keeping him in suspense.

"I have three suggestions in mind."

Yang Xuan raised his hand and extended one finger, saying in a deep voice:

"One way is to become a ghost or god in the underworld and gain merit from the underworld. With the cultivation of a Daoist Master at the level of a Quasi-Saint of the Second Corpse, if he were to enter the underworld, he would surely be able to hold a high position."

"According to the rules of the underworld, the Taoist priest can collect a considerable amount of underworld currency from the Earth Virtue Bank every so often."

"Having gained the trust of Her Majesty, I am temporarily in charge of the Dide Money Shop. Within the limits of the local regulations, I can provide the Taoist priest with some conveniences."

Styx frowned slightly; he had also considered the point Yang Xuan had raised.

As long as one has not become a saint, merit is the most supreme spiritual substance for cultivation.

Having a way to obtain genuine merit would definitely help with Styx's attempt to sever another corpse.

The problem is that when Daoist Styx announced the establishment of the Earthly Path and its rules, he offended Houtu quite a bit. Now, he doesn't even dare to easily enter the Netherworld.

Even if he were willing to become a ghost or god in the underworld and work for the underworld, Houtu might not agree.

Without Houtu's approval, who would dare to recruit him into the Underworld? Even Yang Xuan, the person in charge of the Underworld, probably wouldn't have the guts. Styx himself knew that not everyone was so stubborn as to dare to offend a sage.

However, based on his understanding over the years, Yang Xuan was not the type to make empty boasts. Since Yang Xuan had spoken, he should have some degree of confidence in his words.

"Does he have a way to persuade that lady?"

Styx's brows slowly relaxed, and a hint of anticipation gradually appeared in his eyes.

Before he could think further, Yang Xuan extended another finger and said in a deep voice:

Secondly, it is related to reincarnation.

"The six realms of reincarnation are the realm of gods, the realm of humans, the realm of asuras, the realm of hell, the realm of hungry ghosts, and the realm of animals."

"The Asura race created by the Taoist priest should correspond to the Asura path."

"However, as far as I know, the Asura race today does not seem to have much of a connection with the Asura realm of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"This situation will not only affect the reproduction of the Asura race, but also cause the six realms of reincarnation to be incomplete and unable to be perfect."

"If the Asura race can become an important part of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, corresponding to the Asura Path within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, then the Six Paths of Reincarnation can be made more perfect, and the influence of the Earthly Path on the Primordial World can be strengthened."

"Having contributed to the underground passage, how could the merits of the underground passage be less?"

Upon hearing this, a look of realization appeared on Styx's face.

When Styx saw Nuwa create the human race and thus attain sainthood, he followed suit and created the Asura race, hoping to achieve the same goal.

Unfortunately, although Styx also gained a lot of merit as a result, which improved his cultivation level, he also did not achieve great success.

However, it is incomparable to the merits that Nuwa gained from creating the human race.

Furthermore, due to Styx's nature, after creating the Asura race, he left them to fend for themselves.

Aside from occasionally standing up for them, Styx didn't devote much attention to the Asura race.

Now that Yang Xuan had said this, he suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that the merit he had been searching for for so many years was right beside him.

If the Asura race could be made to correspond to the Asura realm and become an important part of the six realms of reincarnation, how could the merit be small?

Moreover, if the Asura race becomes part of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it's equivalent to the entire Asura race becoming a member of the Underworld, enjoying its benefits and receiving a stable supply of Underworld currency.

As the ruler of the Asura race, it's reasonable for the Styx River to take some of the Netherworld currency, right?

Completing this task will not only grant you a massive amount of merit at once, but will also provide you with a continuous stream of genuine merit in the future.

Although merit cannot directly sever the corpse that holds me, it can provide considerable assistance!

But then, Styx frowned slightly.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation are controlled by Houtu. To accomplish this, Houtu's approval is also required; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.

"Why was I so foolish back then, trying to steal Fellow Daoist Yang Xuan's opportunity? In the end, I got nothing and even offended that lady. What should I do now?"

"If I hadn't been so foolish back then, and instead had taken the Black Lotus to Heaven to seek guidance from Fellow Daoist Yang Xuan, perhaps I could have gained some merit in the matter of building the Underworld."

"Even when the underworld was being built, the Asura race was supposed to correspond to the Asura realm. How could I have been so foolish?!"

Styx is now filled with despair and regret.

If I hadn't tried to forcefully establish local rules and gain merit in the first place, I could be accumulating merit without even lifting a finger now.

Even now, knowing that the Asura clan is a channel for obtaining genuine merit, he has no confidence whatsoever in getting Houtu to agree.

Although it is said that Houtu is broad-minded and cares about the primordial world, this does not mean that Houtu has no temper. Styx angered Houtu first, so it will be difficult for her to obtain earthly merits from her!

wrong!

To be precise, it would be an incredibly difficult task for Styx to meet Houtu and tell her about this matter.

If a sage does not wish to meet, even a quasi-sage cannot meet a sage.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yang Xuan is truly confident in persuading that lady?"

Yang Xuan made two consecutive proposals, both related to Houtu, which led the Styx River to a bold conjecture.

Could it be that Yang Xuan's words carry some weight with Houtu?

If that's the case, then these two things will bring unimaginable benefits to the Styx!
Yang Xuan glanced at Minghe's slightly excited expression, offered no explanation, and continued:

"Thirdly, it is related to the Sea of ​​Blood."

"The Sea of ​​Blood is an indispensable part of the primordial world, and its status is in no way inferior to stars such as the Sun and the Moon."

"Since the Taiyin star can be used to sever corpses in December, then perhaps the Blood Sea can also be used for severing corpses."

"As long as my idea is correct, Daoist Master, as the Lord of the Blood Sea, using the Blood Sea to sever the corpse should not be a problem!"

Upon hearing this, Styx was slightly taken aback.

"Is this even possible...?"

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem impossible. After all, December already used the Moon Star to sever the corpse, so what's wrong with him using the Sea of ​​Blood to sever the corpse?

Originally, he was thinking that if he had enough opportunities in the future and was confident that he could sever the self-grasping corpse, he would use the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to entrust the self-grasping corpse.

Although the Karmic Fire Red Lotus is not as compatible with the Avici or the Yuan Tu Twin Swords for the Styx River, it is still a precious treasure of the primordial world, and it is not a problem to use it to entrust the corpse of Zhiwo.

Upon hearing Yang Xuan's suggestion, he immediately felt that the Blood Sea was the most suitable spiritual object to entrust to the corpse of Zhiwo.

If one can truly entrust the corpse to the sea of ​​blood, then no matter where he is, he will be essentially in the sea of ​​blood, unleashing his strongest combat power.

Its survival ability has been further enhanced. The Blood Sea used to be there. If the sage had destroyed it at all costs, the Styx would have had no way out but death.

If he could use the Blood Sea Corpse Severing Technique, he might be able to escape with a portion of the Blood Sea and retain a sliver of hope.

Wherever I am, there is a sea of ​​blood!
The thought of this scene made Styx's breathing become more rapid, his expression more excited, and his gaze toward Yang Xuan gradually showed more admiration. He also felt more and more regretful.

"Why was I so foolish back then? Why did I have to try to steal Fellow Daoist Yang Xuan's opportunity!"

If Yang Xuan hadn't been right in front of him, he would have even wanted to slap himself.

At the same time, he also understood that accomplishing these three things was not an easy task, especially the first two, which would definitely not be possible without Houtu's approval.

Styx took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions and looked up at Yang Xuan.

Clearly, the key to accomplishing these things lies with Yang Xuan.
