Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 173 The terrifying Styx

When Di Jiang heard the news, he did not hesitate and led the five ancestor witches directly to the Nine Netherworld.

If you want to enter the Nine Netherworld, besides passing through the Netherworld Gate, you can only go through the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

Now, Hou Tu was refining the Book of Life and Death in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Naturally, it was impossible for her to open the gate to the underworld and lead the five ancient witches to the Nine Netherworld.

Therefore, the five ancient witches could only go through the Netherworld Blood Sea, pass through the Netherworld Blood Sea, enter the Forgotten River, and then reach the Nine Netherworlds.

However, when the five ancient witches arrived at the Netherworld Blood Sea, they did not go directly to the Nine Netherworld.

The reason was that if someone wanted to cause trouble for Hou Tu, they would have to enter the Nine Netherworld from here. They only needed to stay here to help Hou Tu block everyone.

So the five ancient witches stopped directly at the edge of the Netherworld Blood Sea, ready to block all those who tried to enter the Nine Netherworld.

At the same time, Chen Xuan had also arrived in the Netherworld Blood Sea. However, he did not go directly to see the Netherworld Patriarch, but instead transformed himself into a Shura clan and stayed in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

This flow lasted for three hundred years, and Chen Xuan finally circulated the entire Netherworld Blood Sea. He also had a comprehensive understanding of the situation of the Shura clan.

After all, if Chen Xuan wanted the Patriarch of the Styx to hand over the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Lotus, he would have to rob it by force unless he could come up with some reasons that would make the Patriarch of the Styx tempted.

Although snatching the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Lotus from the hands of the Styx Patriarch was just a piece of cake for Chen Xuan.

But Chen Xuan didn't intend to do that. After all, winning people over with virtue was the key. As for how to win people over with virtue, he would have to take it one step at a time.

At this time, the Styx Patriarch did not know that Chen Xuan had arrived. He was still in the depths of the Netherworld Blood Sea, comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Now, being able to penetrate the primordial purple energy and attain sainthood has become the obsession of the Styx Patriarch. Nothing else is more important than this.

Although the Minghe Patriarch created the Shura Clan and established the Shura Cult, he never managed the Shura Clan and allowed them to develop on their own.

This also caused the Shura Clan to lose their direction of development. They began to slaughter each other, stirring up the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Even when the five ancient witches came to the Netherworld Blood Sea and sat by the Netherworld Blood Sea for a hundred years, no one informed the Netherworld Ancestor of this matter.

But now, Chen Xuan's voice rang out in the Netherworld Blood Sea, "Fellow Daoist Minghe, I cannot praise your hospitality in the Netherworld Blood Sea."

Chen Xuan's voice reached the depths of the Netherworld Blood Sea, instantly waking up the Styx Ancestor who was comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

"This is the voice of Taoist Qinglian. Could it be that Taoist Qinglian has come to my Netherworld Blood Sea?"

When mentioning Taoist Qinglian, the ancestor of the Styx would think of the battle between Chen Xuan and Hongjun when Hou Tu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

How could someone who dared to confront Hongjun not strike fear into the heart of the Styx Patriarch? Without hesitation, he headed towards the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

As soon as he arrived at the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Styx Patriarch was shocked by the scene before him. He actually saw the five Ancestral Witches.

"The Ancestral Witch is here too. Could it be that Taoist Qinglian wants the Ancestral Witch to seize my Netherworld Blood Sea?"

It's no wonder that the Styx Patriarch had such a bold idea. After all, the Ancestral Witch also transformed in a pool of blood.

Although this netherworld sea of blood could not compare to the blood pool in Pangu's heart, it was definitely more suitable for the survival of the Ancestral Witch.

Furthermore, the two tribes, the Wu and Lich, are now at loggerheads. The demons dream of driving the Wu from the prehistoric land. The demons possess two sages, while the Wus have only Hou Tu. If the two tribes were to fight, the Styx Patriarch sincerely doubted that the Wus would prevail.

By then, the Wu Clan would have no place to stand in the vast wilderness. And this Netherworld Blood Sea would definitely be the Wu Clan's last resort.

Putting aside the fact that the Wu Clan was suited to surviving in the Netherworld Blood Sea, the most important thing was that the Nine Netherworlds lay beneath the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Even if we stretch the point a bit, even the Netherworld Blood Sea belongs to the Nine Netherworlds. So it is inevitable that the Styx Patriarch would have this worry.

Although he was worried, he had no other options but to speak to the sky: "Junior Minghe, I pay my respects to Senior Qinglian."

"I wonder what it is that Senior Qinglian has brought the five Ancestral Witches to the Netherworld Blood Sea. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."

Chen Xuan had naturally seen the five ancient witches a long time ago and knew the real purpose of their coming here. However, from beginning to end, he did not meet them.

Unexpectedly, he would be misunderstood by the Old Ancestor of the Styx, who thought that the five ancient witches including Dijiang came with him.

However, Chen Xuan did not intend to explain anything, but instead revealed his true form above the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was standing on the thirty-sixth-grade green lotus of creation, and the laws and Taoism were flowing throughout his body. People would admire him at first sight.

So not only did the Styx Patriarch kneel on the surface of the Netherworld Blood Sea, but even the five Ancestral Witches beside the Netherworld Blood Sea hurriedly stood up and saluted Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan waved his hand and helped Styx Patriarch, Dijiang and others to their feet. Then he spoke to Styx Patriarch.

"Dijiang and his men are here to guard the gates of the Nine Netherworld. I came to the Netherworld Blood Sea today to discuss something with fellow Daoist Minghe."

Hearing Chen Xuan actually call him "fellow Daoist", the Styx Patriarch was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the Netherworld Blood Sea. He hurriedly spoke to Chen Xuan.

"Senior Qinglian, please don't call me fellow Daoist anymore. I don't deserve that. Please, Senior Qinglian, just call me Minghe."

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then said to the Styx Patriarch: "I came to the Netherworld Blood Sea this time to make a deal with you."

"I will help you develop the Shura clan so that you can one day achieve sainthood through your luck. But you need to hand over the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus to me."

When Chen Xuan said this, the Styx Patriarch was stunned for a moment. He even took a look at the thirty-sixth-grade Creation Green Lotus under Chen Xuan's feet.

I thought to myself, you already have the thirty-sixth-grade Green Lotus of Creation, why are you still planning to covet my twelfth-grade Red Lotus of Karma Fire?

But the Styx Patriarch only dared to think about it in his heart. He said it in front of Chen Xuan. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not have the courage.

At the same time, Chen Xuan's words were very clear, that is, they did not want his Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus for nothing. They would help him achieve enlightenment and become a saint.

Attaining the Dao and becoming a saint was the obsession of the Styx Patriarch, and he did not dare to refuse Chen Xuan, so he spoke immediately.

"If Senior Qinglian can truly help Minghe attain sainthood, then I will definitely offer the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus to you."

Seeing the answer from the Old Ancestor of the Styx, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He knew that the Patriarch of the Styx was retreating to advance, in order to temporarily preserve the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Lotus.
