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

Chapter 176 Quietly Accepting a Disciple

Although countless years of pursuit of enlightenment did not allow the Styx Patriarch to attain sainthood, it did give him an incomparably solid heart of the Tao.

This made Chen Xuan very satisfied, and he felt that accepting the Minghe Patriarch as his disciple was definitely a wise choice.

After all, Hongjun now controls the way of heaven, and in the future, the way of demons and the way of Buddhism will also be controlled by Hongjun.

But now Chen Xuan only has the human way and the earth way in his hands. Compared with Hongjun, he is naturally a bit weaker.

Moreover, with Chen Xuan's understanding of the original trajectory of the prehistoric world, after the Conferred Gods Tribulation and the Journey to the West Tribulation, the real Demonic Tribulation will come.

The final outcome was naturally that the Demon Dao failed and failed to successfully awaken. Whether Hongjun had a hand in this or not, Chen Xuan could tell without even thinking.

Once the Demonic Path is completely suppressed by Hongjun, there will be no chance for it to awaken. Hongjun holds the power of the three paths, and will surely make the Earth Path and the Human Path unable to raise their heads again.

And now that Chen Xuan has accepted Minghe Laozu as his disciple, it is equivalent to planting a hidden chess piece of his own during the demonic calamity.

At that time, he could use the help of the Styx Patriarch to complete the awakening of the Demonic Path. As long as Chen Xuan mastered the Demonic Path, he could successfully suppress Hongjun's Heavenly Path.

Who would be the ultimate winner then? Everything was in limbo. Regardless of whether Chen Xuan was in the comfort camp, he had accomplished one thing: awakening the Six Paths of the Primordial Desolation.

So he immediately said to the Styx Patriarch: "Hongmeng Purple Qi is indeed the foundation of the Great Dao, and it contains a complete law of heaven. It can help all living beings in the prehistoric world to achieve enlightenment and become saints."

"But Hongjun tampered with the Hongmeng Purple Qi, which was equivalent to sealing the laws of heaven within the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

"And the way to unlock the seal is through immense merit. Otherwise, even if you comprehend the primordial purple energy for millions of times, it will all be in vain in the end."

"When the seal of the Heavenly Dao Law is released within the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Heavenly Dao Seal will also be activated. Once you are prepared for the Heavenly Dao, that is, if you disobey Hongjun, he will be able to turn you into Heavenly Dao puppets."

"However, before the Heavenly Dao Law sealed in the Hongmeng Purple Qi is released, he cannot cause any harm to you."

"As long as you are willing to give up the Hongmeng Purple Qi, you can force it out of your body at any time. But you cannot let it return to the Heavenly Dao, otherwise it will be discovered by Hongjun."

Even though the Styx Patriarch had a firm heart, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He even felt fortunate that he didn't have enough merit, otherwise he would have become someone else's puppet.

But at this moment, the Styx Patriarch was a little worried. After all, once the Hongmeng Purple Qi was forced out of his body, he couldn't guarantee that he could keep it.

Finally, he directly asked Chen Xuan: "Master, if I keep the Hongmeng Purple Qi in my body, will it affect my understanding of the law of karma?"

Chen Xuan already understood what the Styx Patriarch was going to do, so he immediately said, "No need to bother. I will help you imprison the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

As he spoke, the jade knife pierced through the body of the Styx Patriarch. It went back and forth a full nine times before bringing out a stream of primordial purple energy.

During this process, the pain that the Styx Patriarch endured was imaginable. However, the Styx Patriarch gritted his teeth and held on without making a sound.

Looking at the primordial purple energy swirling around the jade knife, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile. Immediately, the Dao Prison Law was activated, and instantly, with the power of the law, it condensed into a dim bead.

The next moment, the primordial purple energy was seen being absorbed into the dim bead, completely imprisoned within it. Chen Xuan handed the bead to the Styx Patriarch and said, "Refine it with the power of Karma Fire. It may be of great use in the future."

The Styx Patriarch nodded and put away the cage bead. Just as he was about to apologize to Chen Xuan, he felt some fluctuations in his energy.

It turned out that the three corpses that had been beheaded by the ancestor of the Styx had successfully merged with the main body at this moment.

This inevitably made the Styx Patriarch feel that he was now complete, and his previous self was not his true self.

Being able to find himself again, the Styx Patriarch finally realized how badly he had been deceived by Hongjun, and was happy that he had met Chen Xuan.

While the Styx Patriarch was feeling happy, he actually felt that his cultivation had begun to break through, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached the early stage of Hunyuan Jixian.

And this was just the beginning. In the end, the realm of the ancestor of the Styx directly broke through to the late stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

Compared to the original late quasi-saint cultivation of the Styx Patriarch, the current late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm is definitely better than that.

At this moment, the Styx Patriarch was completely grateful to Chen Xuan and burst into tears. He immediately knelt down and bowed to Chen Xuan again.

But Chen Xuan directly helped him up and said, "After you go back, concentrate on comprehending the law of karma and make it your main law."

"At the same time, the secret laws of the Great Dao must also be taken into consideration. Otherwise, your practice of the laws of karma of the Great Dao will naturally be known to Hongjun."

"Remember, not only should you not let others know about your cultivation of the Great Dao Karma Law, but you should also not mention the fact that you have accepted me as your master."

"When the time comes, I will announce you as my disciple without you having to tell me. Let all living creatures in the prehistoric world know that you are a disciple of the Qinglian Island lineage."

"But before that, if you encounter a life-threatening situation, I will personally come to your rescue and will definitely not ignore you."

The Styx Patriarch nodded to Chen Xuan again, "Master, don't worry. I know the seriousness of the matter. Before you are confident enough to kill Hongjun, it is better to grow slowly."

Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile and nodded at the Styx Patriarch's understanding. He then taught the Styx Patriarch how to rely on karma to improve the Shura clan.

The Styx Patriarch also respectfully presented the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus to Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan was not polite and immediately put the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus away.

Then he said to the Styx Patriarch, "Be patient for a while, it might hurt a little. I'll also make you drop a small realm."

The ancestor of the Styx knew what Chen Xuan was going to do. After all, only by truly hiding it from Hongjun and Tiandao could he avoid being killed by Hongjun and Tiandao before he grew up.

So he nodded to Chen Xuan and said, "Master, please go ahead and do it. Even if it means causing me to drop two more realms, it won't matter."

Then, the Styx Patriarch closed his eyes, waiting for Chen Xuan's urging. It was a typical Zhou Yu vs. Huang Gai situation: one willing to fight, the other willing to be beaten.

Chen Xuan was not polite either. He immediately raised the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler and knocked the Styx Ancestor out of the Qinglian Space.
