Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 234 [Ambition over the River Styx, the Throne of Gouchen] (Please Subscribe)
The Immortal Path has five main branches and nine sub-branches. The fact that the Divine Path is now imitating the Immortal Path undoubtedly demonstrates Taiyi's ambition to make the Divine Path comparable to the Immortal Path.

It is impossible for Taiyi alone, along with the divine cultivators in all the heavens and myriad realms, to make the divine path comparable to the immortal path in terms of foundation.

The only way is to make the pie bigger and bring in more powerful individuals.

This is also the true purpose of the Kagura Conference!

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun perfected the Heavenly Dao, he brought in the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others; when he perfected the Immortal Dao, he brought in the Eastern King Duke, the Western Queen Mother, and others.

Why can't the Shinto do the same?
"I don't know either!"

Seeing the intense gazes of the crowd, "Fuxi" shook his head: "Although Taiyi has some plans, he didn't tell me all of them!"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Styx was somewhat disappointed. He then looked at Xuan Yin and asked, "Didn't you enter Pangu with Taiyi? Before Taiyi transformed into a Daoist, did he give you any special instructions?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Xuan Yin. Although he was only a Great Luo cultivator, he had repeatedly stirred up the power of the Primordial Realm. Not long ago, he even used the authority of the Heavenly Dao to block a blow from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

At the most crucial moment, when Taiyi entered Pangu, he brought him along as well!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately shook his head: "I'm just doing this for the money! Taiyi promised to take me to Pangu, and I'll take the blame for him and temporarily keep Yuanshi Sage in the dark! Otherwise, do you think Fellow Daoist Styx can overcome the Dao Ancestor's mark?"

In that time and space, many powerful beings left their mark, such as Styx and others, so it's not surprising that they knew the whole story!

"Nothing else?"

The Styx Daoist was somewhat skeptical. He knew Xuan Yin quite well and was certain that Xuan Yin would try every means to gain benefits for himself.

Xuan Yin immediately feigned helplessness, took out the Pure World White Lotus seeds and two Taiyi decrees containing the power of Taiyi, and said, "I originally wanted to ask Taiyi for several hundred Taiyi decrees, but that guy, in order to maintain the credibility of the divine path and Taiyi, only gave me three! Not long ago, my senior sister, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, used one when she became the Doumu Yuanjun! Now I only have two left!"

"Besides that, there's the lotus seed nurtured by this twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus!"

"The twelfth-grade Pure White Lotus was integrated into the Gate of Myriad Wonders by Taiyi to purify the poison of incense offerings. I had to shamelessly beg for a lotus seed!"

"But cultivating it into a ninth-grade Pure White Lotus is no easy task!"

His words were a mixture of truth and falsehood. The Taiyi decree was real, but it wasn't three decrees, but nine, which was also to mislead the people present.

In addition, the matter of the white lotus seeds is also true, but he concealed the fact that he used the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus to prove the existence of the Eastern Emperor Tai Er.

He certainly gained some benefits, but he couldn't possibly reveal them all.

Especially his identity as "Tai Er," the second-in-command of the Divine Path, means he can obtain far more Divine Path fortune than the head of a branch of the Divine Path!
Upon hearing this, Daoist Styx was somewhat tempted and immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin, do you sell your Taiyi Decree and Pure World White Lotus seeds?"

Not long ago, the Golden Spirit Mother, through the decree of Taiyi, testified to the matter of the second-generation Doumu Yuanjun. It can be said that everyone in the heavens and the great Luo realm knows about it. Its value is absolutely no less than that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

If one could find a supreme divine position that is temporarily unclaimed and occupy it with the help of the decree of Taiyi, it would definitely bring him a stable fortune.

Since the Pure World White Lotus seeds are related to the divine path, if a branch were to be established and the ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus nurtured from them were used to suppress the fortune of the divine path branch, it would definitely be better than ordinary innate spiritual treasures.

"Sell it!"

Xuan Yin replied without hesitation, "A top-grade innate spiritual treasure in exchange for a Taiyi decree! However, I plan to keep the white lotus seed for myself!"

The exposed Taiyi decree was originally intended to be used to gain benefits for himself.

As for white lotus seeds, they are merely superficial and can be considered dispensable.

However, if one could cultivate a ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus and give it to his incarnation, Doraemon Perfect Heavenly Venerable, it would be a good choice!

He also possesses a lotus seed of the Golden Lotus of Merit. If he accumulates enough merit in the future, he can cultivate it into a ninth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, which can then be given to the Bodhisattva Xuanzang, the Bodhisattva of the Sambhogakaya, as a protective treasure for the Sambhogakaya.

Upon hearing this, Styx frowned immediately: "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin, it's just a decree, how can you ask for a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?"

As the number one person below the sages, Styx is undoubtedly quite wealthy. He obtained many innate spiritual treasures from the Treasure Distribution Rock, but the only ones that are of the highest quality are the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the two killing weapons, Yuan Tu and Abi, which were born with him when he took human form!

Of course, that's just on the surface!

With such formidable strength, the spiritual treasure he used when severing his three corpses was likely of the highest quality. When he forcibly fused his three corpses with the merit and fortune he gained from creating the Asura race and establishing the Asura Cult, he might have also created a top-tier innate spiritual treasure.

after all……

According to the Tongtian Sect Leader, in the past twenty reincarnations, the Styx Daoist once revealed a weapon called the Nether Sea Sword!
According to his estimation, its power should be similar to Haotian's Universe-Breaking Bell!
Great supernatural beings in the Primordial Realm all know how to conceal their abilities. They will not reveal certain skills unless they are in a life-or-death crisis or at a critical moment, even if it means losing face or suffering a loss.

As for Styx, he is a man of the underworld, with profound knowledge and an exceptional ability to conceal his true nature.

Xuan Yin would not believe that he had no trump cards up his sleeve.

"This is a decree from the Supreme One!"

Xuan Yin showed no intention of backing down: "Fellow Daoist Styx, do you think a divine position comparable to, or even slightly superior to, Doumu Yuanjun is worth more than a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?" "Of course it is!"

The Styx Daoist nodded, first affirming Xuan Yin's statement, then changed the subject, saying, "But Taiyi's decree is not omnipotent. Jin Ling was born from the legacy of Lady Zi Guang, and with the help of Taiyi's decree, she can easily become the second-generation Doumu Yuanjun!"

"But for others, if they don't have that destiny, even if Taiyi himself bestows the title and the Heavenly Dao approves, they probably still can't sit in that position!"

"The Taiyi Decree is good, but we also need to see if the people who use it are suitable for it!"

The other powerful beings nodded in agreement after hearing what Daoist Styx said. Apart from the few Heavenly Saints and the top clans like Dragon, Phoenix, and Witch, who else could casually produce a top-grade innate spiritual treasure? Did they really think top-grade innate spiritual treasures were everywhere?
Yuanshi Tianzun was also very interested in the Taiyi Decree, but he knew that Xuan Yin and Tongtian Jiaozhu were unlikely to make a deal with him...

So he didn't say anything!
Taiqing Laozi closed his eyes, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.

Xuan Yin glanced at Daoist Styx, then at Yaochi, and suddenly laughed, “Other great supernatural beings may not be suited to those top divine positions, but I know of a divine position that is no less than that of Doumu Yuanjun, which is extremely suitable for the killing and ruthless Daoist Styx!”

"Oh?"

Styx immediately became interested.

He wanted the Taiyi Decree because he did indeed have some ideas about a certain divine position in the world.

But he didn't expect that Xuan Yin would see some clues from him.

"Emperor Gouchen!"

Xuan Yin looked up at the Gouchen Star high in the heavens: "The Purple Palace, the Gouchen Heavenly Palace. Within the Nine Lights Treasure Garden, above the Five Qi Mysterious Capital. Embodying the Primordial Emperor and assisting in the Mysterious Transformation, governing the Two Poles and jointly managing the Three Realms. Presiding over the balance of military affairs, widely promoting great virtue. Commanding the order of the stars, never deviating from the constant principles. The celestial phenomena are majestic, the true essence vast and boundless. Great compassion and great vows, great sage and great mercy. Gouchen Upper Palace, the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Fellow Daoist Styx cultivates the Great Dao of Slaughter and uses it to preside over matters of war. In addition, the Asuras of the Asura clan believe in the Way of Slaughter and are perfectly suited for this position of Gouchen!"

"Of course, the position of the White Emperor is also acceptable!"

"The Seven Qi of Golden Spirit, the Three Splendors of Primordial Essence. The First Emperor, hailed as the Boundless Venerable, reached the pinnacle of the ancient eons. He existed before Heaven and Earth, possessing the Dharma form, transforming beings to govern the world. His radiance shines like the sun, flowing with crystal-clear brilliance. The Supreme God initiated the Lotus Sutra assembly, his radiant light illuminating the heavens. He reigns supreme in the Western Palace, his blessings extending to the nine realms. He resides in the Eastern Palace, ruling over all immortals. With great compassion and great vows, with great holiness and great mercy. At the Seven Treasures Golden Gate of the West, the White Emperor, the White Spirit Emperor, the Heavenly Venerable of Transformation and Salvation!"

"However, the position of White Emperor is now occupied by Bai Zhaoju, and his rank is lower than Gouchen's. I estimate that Fellow Daoist Styx probably doesn't think much of it either!"

As the number one person below the sages in the current primordial world, Daoist Styx holds an extremely high position. Even if he wanted to seize the opportunities of Emperor Gouchen or the White Emperor of the West, he would have a chance. The only problem is that he fears the intervention of a sage.

Otherwise, even if Emperor Gouchen were to return now and join forces with the Western White Emperor, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a hundred moves from the Styx Daoist.

This is the true value of the River Styx!
Upon hearing this, Yaochi's face darkened immediately. Whether it was the Great Emperor Gouchen or the White Emperor of the West, they should both be gods under the rule of the Heavenly Court.

However, Xuan Yin, in broad daylight, discussed these two divine positions with the Styx River.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face for her!
Bai Zhaoju looked terrified. If Daoist Minghe was determined to target him, he really didn't have much confidence in saving his life!

Yuanshi Tianzun kept a close eye on Xuan Yin. Everyone knew that in the grand scheme of things, the Great Emperor Gouchen would be reincarnated as a third-generation disciple of his Chan Sect. He had long considered the position of the Great Emperor Gouchen to be his for the taking...

Xuan Yin appeared to be talking to Daoist Minghe, but in reality, he wanted to undermine the foundation of his Chan Sect!
The Tongtian Sect Leader and "Fuxi" watched this scene with leisurely composure.

Upon hearing this, Styx laughed and looked at Bai Zhaoju: "I think Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin has a stronger karmic connection with the Western White Emperor, so he won't compete for this position! As for the position of Gouchen, this humble Daoist does indeed have some thoughts about it!"

Xuan Yin frowned.

Because, while Styx was talking to him, it was also secretly transmitting its voice to him.

【Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin, the first White Emperor of the Primordial True Realm was none other than that Demon Ancestor. I feel that you are more suited to the position of the Western White Emperor!】

He is the leader of the Lesser Vehicle Demonic Sect, and as the incarnation of Xuan Yin's essence blood, he is the future Asura King. He also unknowingly inherited the true name "Rahu" bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, so he is naturally aware of Xuan Yin's identity as the second-generation Rahu.

Styx continued to transmit his voice, "Fellow Daoist, if you don't want your identity as the second-generation Rahu to become public knowledge, then agree to let me exchange a lotus seed from the Karmic Fire Red Lotus for a Taiyi decree. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately responded telepathically: "Fellow Daoist, do you think that since I went to Zixiao Palace to accuse Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, I might have sold Luo Hou out as well? Does the Dao Ancestor know that I am the second generation Luo Hou?"

He looked at Daoist Styx and smiled knowingly: "To be honest, like you, I have long been a disciple of the Dao Ancestor!"

"otherwise……"

"Do you think that the Dao Ancestor would grant me the Heavenly Dao authority to oppose the Sages?"

Styx's expression froze for a moment.

These words were all spoken by Xuan Yin through telepathy, unknown to outsiders, but he couldn't help but glance at Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Xuan Yin glanced at everyone and didn't continue transmitting his voice. Instead, he spoke directly, "Of course, if Fellow Daoist Styx doesn't have a suitable top-grade innate spiritual treasure, we can change our terms!"

"You are my dearest friend!"
