Chapter 235 [The Asura's Power Changes Hands: Cut Your Losses in Time] (Please Subscribe)
Hearing Xuan Yin's words, Daoist Styx felt a sudden panic. If Xuan Yin revealed the matter of the second-generation Rahu to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and then exposed it, affecting some of Dao Ancestor's plans and schemes, then he would inevitably be reprimanded by Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
Not worth the candle!

What made Daoist Styx even more uneasy was the word "close friend." Although he and Xuan Yin had cooperated on some matters, it was all about mutual exploitation. Their relationship had absolutely nothing to do with being close friends!
However, he was ultimately a person of great supernatural powers, and he said with a calm expression, "Then I wonder what it would take for Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin to be willing to give me a Taiyi decree?"

Upon seeing this, Xuan Yin immediately held up two fingers: "How about a lotus seed from the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, plus 20% of the Asura clan's fortune?"

Before Styx could respond, Xuan Yin continued, "I remember that Fellow Daoist Styx used 30% of the Asura clan's fortune to exchange for the Treasure-Dropping Coin from the Western Sage Zhunti! He even used the Treasure-Dropping Coin to break open Senior Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book!"

"Since we are close friends, it shouldn't be too much for me to ask for two-tenths of your fortune!"

The top-grade innate spiritual treasure in the hands of Daoist Styx, the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, is meant to suppress his fortune. The Yuan Tu and A Bi swords are his protective treasures, and he would never use them to trade with anyone. After some thought, Xuan Yin still felt that the fortune of the Asura clan would be of the greatest use to him.

no way!
Who told him to have an Asura incarnation who inherited the true name of "Rahu"?

Cultivating through incarnation also requires a lot of resources and the blessing of good fortune!
Before condensing that avatar, Xuan Yin had thought about asking the Styx Daoist for some benefits, but the other party instead tried to shift the blame onto him!
If you want the fortune of the Asura clan, then target the Asura clan of the future Buddhist Eight Divisions, and target the Mosquito Taoist who also took human form in the Blood Sea!
However, both of them had close ties with the two Western Saints, so he had no chance to make a move!
If Duobao becomes the Buddha in the future, he can try to make some plans, but now, isn't making plans for these two things just jumping into a fire pit?
Not advisable!
You still have to pick the soft persimmons!
Compared to scheming against the two Western Saints, it's easier to plot against the Styx Taoist!
"you!"

Daoist Styx was furious but laughed. What close friends and relatives? He never expected that Xuan Yin would try to undermine the foundation of his Asura lineage as soon as he opened his mouth!

The lotus seeds of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus are fine, but if Xuan Yin is given another 20% of the Asura clan's fortune, he will only have 50% left!
If Xuan Yin were to cooperate with Buddhism, wouldn't he be able to seize half of the fortune?

At that time, was the Asura clan the Asura clan of his River Styx, or the Asura clan of Xuan Yin and the two Western Saints?
Xuan Yin's avatar, the Xuanzang King Bodhisattva, has a Buddhist background and even replaced Ksitigarbha of the Western Sect, making a great vow to save vengeful ghosts and the dead!
He had dealt with Xuan Yin quite a bit and knew that he had no bottom line whatsoever.

Since he could sell the Taiyi Dharma Decree in full view of everyone, it would not be surprising if he sold the fortune of the Asura clan to the Buddhist sect in the next moment.

after all……

Xuan Yin has a criminal record.

As the second-generation Rahu, the master of the Mahayana demonic path, instead of thinking about revitalizing the demonic path, he directly took the demonic path's fortune and submitted to Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
Is this right?
In the Demon Realm, many demons still believe in the prophecy of "the decline of the Dao and the rise of the Demons," and are waiting for the Demon Ancestor to lead them in a counterattack against the Immortal Path and the Primordial True Realm!

As a result, before the great trend of the Dao declining and the demons rising had even arrived, Rahu was already preparing to flee, and the second-generation Rahu even directly became the lackey of the Dao Ancestor!
The future of the demonic path is bleak!

"Should I just run away too?"

A bold idea flashed through Styx's mind: if Xuan Yin were to submit to the Dao Ancestor and the Mahayana Demonic Path fell into the control of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, then his status as the master of the Lesser Mahayana Demonic Path would definitely be greatly diminished.

But now, it's estimated that only he, Xuan Yin, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun know about this. They might as well sell off the Lesser Vehicle Demonic Path's fortune as soon as possible!

If he sells now, he can get a good price and maximize his profits. Once the news gets out, even if he wants to sell, there won't be anyone willing to take over!
With a slight thought, Daoist Styx began searching for the most suitable person to take over!
"Xuan Yin, the Two Sages of the West, Hou Tu, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiqing Laozi, Nuwa..."

In a short while, seven or eight candidates came to mind for Daoist Styx.

Xuan Yin goes without saying; he is the master of the Mahayana demonic path, the second-generation Rahu, and if he inherits the Lesser Mahayana demonic path, he will be able to obtain the complete demonic destiny.

The two Western Saints, in their pursuit of the prosperity of the West, have long coveted the Asura clan under their command, and now they have seized 30% of the Asura clan's fortune.

As one of the six realms of reincarnation, the Asura realm also has a deep connection with Houtu.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiqing Laozi, and Nuwa, they also have aliases in the demonic path. In particular, Yuanshi Tianzun, who failed in his pursuit of the origin of immortals and gods, seems to have some ideas about the position of the origin of the demonic path!
It's not impossible to sell it for a good price!
As long as the Blood Sea is in his hands, coupled with the experience of creating the Asura race, creating a completely new race would not be difficult!
"Fellow Daoist Minghe, what are your thoughts?"

Xuan Yin looked at Daoist Styx and revealed a gentle smile. At this moment, he was unaware that Daoist Styx had actually come up with the idea of ​​running away!
"Okay, deal!"

Daoist Styx spoke directly, taking out a karmic fire red lotus seed and handing it to Xuan Yin: "I have already transferred 20% of the Asura clan's fortune to your avatar. When I return to the Blood Sea, I will have him lead his Asura clan to find you! Now, please fulfill your promise!"

Xuan Yin was startled. He didn't bother to check the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seed in his hand, but felt a considerable amount of luck coming from his incarnation.

"Fellow Daoist, won't you try to bargain a bit more?"

Xuan Yin couldn't help but show a look of suspicion. Such quickness and eagerness seemed inconsistent with the importance that Daoist Styx placed on the Asura Path!
However, he did not hesitate and handed a Taiyi decree to Daoist Styx: "Then thank you for your gift, Fellow Daoist Styx!"

But before he could continue to hawk the second Taiyi Decree, Daoist Styx preemptively spoke up: "Thirty percent of the Asura clan's fortune is now in the hands of those two Western Saints. Now, I have used twenty percent of their fortune, plus a lotus seed from the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, to exchange for a Taiyi Decree from Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin!"

"More than half of the Asura clan's fortune has already fallen into the hands of others. Of the remaining fifty percent, are there any fellow cultivators present who are interested?"

"Two top-grade innate spiritual treasures will be auctioned off!"

The words of the Styx Daoist immediately caused a great uproar among the many powerful beings, and even several saints couldn't help but show surprise.

The Asura Path is one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The Asura Clan is considered one of the top clans in the prehistoric world. Yet, the Styx Daoist simply abandoned them.

Before anyone could ask, Daoist Styx continued, "To be honest, I was personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the leader of the Lesser Vehicle Demonic Sect, and the Asura Sect can also be called the Lesser Vehicle Demonic Sect! The fortune of the Asura clan is also mixed with the fortune of the Lesser Vehicle Demonic Sect!"

"Fellow Daoists who have designs on the destiny of the demonic path, don't miss this opportunity!"

Before he finished speaking, his gaze swept over Xuan Yin, Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Kinnara, among others.

Although the two Western Saints did not come, Kinnara was originally the Buddha Wutian, who held a pivotal position in the demonic path.

If the two Western Saints harbored ambitions towards the demonic path, it wouldn't be impossible for them to use Kinnara to divide the destiny belonging to the demonic path. He believed that the two Western Saints were currently focused on the Kagura Assembly.

but……

The two Western Saints are too poor; if they really wanted to compete, they probably couldn't beat Yuanshi Tianzun.

Zhu Rong looked incredulous: "Minghe, have you gone mad? You just abandon the entire Asura clan like that?"

Although he looks rugged, he is extremely meticulous. If the Asura realm changes hands, it will also affect the underworld and the six realms of reincarnation.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Styx laughed and said, "I am also learning from Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin! Since I have received the grace of being taught by the Dao Ancestor, how can I be entangled with the demonic path? This is a good opportunity to make a clean break!"

"Two top-grade innate spiritual treasures!"

Just as everyone was in shock, the Venerable Eloquent King from the West suddenly spoke up: "The remaining five layers of fortune of the Asura clan, the West wants them!"

This was certainly not his intention, but rather the intention of the two Western Saints. As saints, they could naturally descend upon their disciples at any time.

Behind Zhu Rong, a reincarnation passage appeared directly: "I will offer two top-grade innate spiritual treasures and one high-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

It was Houtu who intervened!

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun did not hesitate and said directly, "Three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, including the Myriad Gods Map, the companion spiritual treasure of Emperor Gouchen. If Fellow Daoist Styx wishes to ascend to the position of Emperor Gouchen, this top-grade innate spiritual treasure that came with Emperor Gouchen may be of assistance to you!"

Styx's judgment was correct; he did indeed have some ideas about the Demonic Path's destiny, and for the sake of the Demonic Path's destiny, he was not unwilling to give up the position of Emperor Gouchen.

no way!
Since Taiyi has now proven the origin of the divine path, he asked Taiyi Zhenren to find a way to steal his true name, and then use Taiyi's true name to seize Taiyi's power and status. If he succeeds, the position of Gouchen Emperor will be nothing more than a chicken rib to him!
If he fails, even if he occupies the position of Gouchen, he will not be able to prove the origin of immortals and gods.

Conversely, if he were to attain the origin of immortals and gods, even if the Styx River were to occupy the position of the Great Emperor Gouchen, he would have many ways to bring him down to the dust.

As for Gouchen himself...

Even if he becomes a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect in the future and establishes a karmic connection with the Chan Sect's lineage, he will still have to yield under the scheme of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Of course, if Gouchen joins the Chan Sect, Yuanshi Tianzun will not let him suffer a loss and will definitely find a way to compensate him in other ways.

In an instant, the divine thoughts of the three sages collided in the void.

Xuan Yin shielded Tongtian Jiaozhu in front of him, stroking the karmic fire red lotus seed in his hand while looking towards the Styx Daoist in the arena.

"Styx, you bastard, you've abandoned the Asura Cult, what are you trying to do?"

Although he was wise and insightful, Styx's actions were too abnormal, and for a moment, he simply couldn't keep up with Styx's thought process.

As Xuan Yin pondered, the voice of Daoist Styx rang in his ears: "Fellow Daoist, you are the leader of the Mahayana Demonic Sect, the second Rahu. Aren't you interested in the fortunes of the Asura Path and the Hinayana Demonic Sect? If you control both the Mahayana and Hinayana Demonic Sects, wouldn't matters of the demonic path be decided with just your word?"

Xuan Yin then understood the Styx Taoist's scheme.

After he pledged allegiance to the Dao Ancestor, the Styx Daoist, the leader of the Lesser Vehicle Demonic Sect, became dispensable. It would be better to take this opportunity to gain some benefits.

Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily: "The future of the demonic path is worrying!"

Of course, he only dared to say these things in his heart. As for the Styx Daoist's suggestion to simultaneously control both the Mahayana and Hinayana demonic paths, he had no interest in it, because he knew that the Dao Ancestor would not allow it.

Let the sages fight it out!
The sages did not blindly bid; their divine thoughts intertwined in the void, clearly discussing matters concerning the Asura lineage.

In the end, Zhunti Daoist was the first to give up his idea, clearly choosing to withdraw from the bidding.

A moment later, Yuanshi Tianzun and Houtu reached a tacit agreement on the fate of the Asura race.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke first: "One top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Myriad Gods Map, plus three high-grade innate spiritual treasures, in exchange for 30% of the Asura clan's fortune!"

Houtu followed closely behind: "One top-grade innate spiritual treasure in exchange for 20% of the Asura clan's fortune!"

"make a deal!"

The Styx Taoist immediately nodded.

Although the sages stopped bidding, causing Styx to lose some benefits, the current conditions are still within Styx's acceptable range.

Especially the Pantheon, this companion spiritual treasure of Emperor Gouchen, combined with the Taiyi Decree, is enough to allow him to take the throne of Emperor Gouchen into his possession!

Everything is worth it!
