Primordial Era: The true lineage of Pangu, which Styx River is this?

In the end, it was the Daoist who bore the brunt of everything in Chapter 200.

"The sage has shown mercy."

"Please, Your Majesty, show mercy!"

Many beings who did not receive the talisman knelt down, praying for the River Styx to grant them mercy and accept them into its ranks.

"You should all be at ease."

I gave eight sermons in total. After each sermon, I would invite those with affinity to join the Taoist sect.

"Those who enter my Taoist sect and diligently cultivate will, every so often, be selected from among the registered disciples, those of high virtue and cultivation, to be accepted into the inner sect." Styx looked at the beings before him and continued.

"We bow in gratitude to the Sage!"

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

"We will always remember the grace of our Holy Father."

Styx looked at the beings before him. In fact, his conditions for recruiting disciples were also very strict, not much more so than those of Yuanshi. However, those conditions were in terms of background and character, and he did not relax at all.

However, Styx did not want to leave the impression of being arrogant and overly concerned with origins like Yuanshi did.

The elite path of Yuanshi is good, the mass path of Tongtian is also good, and Laozi's non-action is undoubtedly a good path as well. However, adults do not make choices because they can have them all.

If you can take all three into account, why be so stingy as to choose just one?

At this moment, the entire prehistoric world was filled with joy and celebration.

For the rest of the primordial beings, Styx's decision was undoubtedly great news.

This time, the Styx Saint recruited more than a thousand disciples. What about next time?

You should know that Styx Saint said that he would preach a total of eight times, and the remaining seven times would be preached in the same manner. That means that Styx Saint would need to recruit at least seven thousand more disciples.

That's enough, that's enough!

Securing one of those seven thousand spots would be enough.

"Those of you who have joined my sect must have spiritual treasures to protect you," Styx said calmly, looking at the more than one thousand disciples who had chosen to become his disciples.

Styx raised his hand, propelling out the Qiankun Cauldron. He gathered materials from all corners of the primordial world, tossed them into the cauldron, and unleashed his weapon-refining techniques.

Styx also possesses profound expertise in weapon crafting.

Before long, one after another, murderous spirit swords were forged by Styx. These spirit treasures were originally acquired spirit treasures, but after being transformed from acquired to innate by the Qiankun Cauldron, they also gave birth to some innate immortal spiritual light. Within them, the Dao of Killing and Dao of Swords imprinted by Styx were engraved.

The Daoist charm is not profound, and each spiritual treasure has only two or three innate restrictions, with most of the rest being acquired restrictions. They can be considered the lowest grade among low-grade innate spiritual treasures, but they can still be considered innate spiritual treasures!

Moreover, the killing sword forged by the Styx River is exceptionally powerful.

Many people may have some misconceptions, thinking that the power of innate spiritual treasures is necessarily stronger than that of acquired spiritual treasures, and that even the worst low-grade innate spiritual treasure is stronger than the strongest acquired supreme treasure. This is not the case. The strength of a spiritual treasure depends on the Dao and Daoist principles it contains.

Among the acquired spiritual treasures are the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, the Primordial Measuring Ruler, and the "Heaven-Turning Seal" refined by the Primordial Beginning.

Lao Tzu's "Diamond Bracelet" is a magical treasure with boundless power.

Although the batch of flying swords forged by Styx was produced in a short period of time and was mass-produced for a large number of nominal disciples, the innate undying spiritual light within them was not strong, and they could only contain some simple Dao principles. The number of innate restrictions was also not large. However, they contained many acquired restrictions and the Heavenly Dao laws inscribed by Styx.

In terms of power, it can be compared to the ultimate among low-grade innate spiritual treasures. It is certainly not enough to sever the three corpses, but for the Taoist disciples who have few even reaching the Golden Immortal level, it can be said to be a rare treasure in battle.

"Thank you, Master!" The fact that they received a magical artifact that could be considered a primordial spiritual treasure as soon as they entered the sect was a pleasant surprise to these new disciples who had joined Taoism.

Those disciples who failed to join Taoism were filled with regret and remorse. After all, if they had worked harder and made the sage see their efforts, they would have had the opportunity to join Taoism along with the registered disciples. At that time, they would also have a share of the rewards from the Styx Sage!

That's a primordial spiritual treasure!

At this moment, Styx was unaware of the waves his actions would stir up in the primordial world. After all, for Styx, this was merely a matter of refining a batch of innate spiritual treasures for his disciples. This was a pipe dream for others, but for Styx, who possessed the Qiankun Cauldron and whose mastery of the Qiankun Dao was already at its peak, it was not a difficult task.

At this moment, the primordial chaos was filled with calamity, and the secrets of heaven were not revealed. Even the Styx River was too lazy to deduce the heavenly way.

This scene, however, can be said to have revealed the strength of Taoism and the hidden benefits of joining Taoism to all living beings in the primordial world.

At this moment, in the eyes of all living beings in the primordial world, joining Taoism means having a teacher with extremely profound Taoist cultivation, having no worries about the path to the Great Tao, and having a powerful force under the teacher's command. After achieving success in cultivation, one will not have to worry about finding a job, and it will not be difficult to seek merit in the cycle of reincarnation.

More importantly, the teacher is skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting, and can even craft innate spiritual treasures. Once you become the teacher's disciple, you will never lack pills and spiritual treasures. Wouldn't your cultivation and skills increase rapidly?

These combined constitute conditions that no other sage could possibly offer!

Even if the three Pure Ones joined forces and shared their resources, there would still be a huge gap. After all, without the Qiankun Cauldron and without being proficient in the Great Dao of Qiankun, they could not possibly provide a large number of innate spiritual treasures for their disciples to use, like Styx did!

This is a devastating blow to the other newly established sects of sainthood, especially the Western sects led by Zhunti and Jieyin, and a fatal squeeze!

The next question, how to join Taoism and become a disciple of the Styx Saint, will be the most important thing in the hearts of all living beings in the entire prehistoric world for some time to come.

"The next sermon will be held here again, ten thousand years from now," Styx said, waving his Taoist robe and leading his newly accepted disciples back to the Netherworld.

Ten thousand years is enough time for those with sufficient talent to comprehend the great Dao they speak of, and it is also enough time for the beings whose power has arrived to do so.

He planned to teach these disciples to the Daoist Master, who had already broken through to the ultimate level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and whose understanding of the Great Dao was in sync with that of the Sage Styx. Therefore, the Daoist Master was more than capable of teaching the newly initiated disciples of the Dao.

At the same time, those who practice alchemy and weapon crafting naturally know that even if they cannot compare to the original body, they can still easily meet the needs of their disciples by working slowly and meticulously.

At the same time, the Dao Master was created by Styx using the Chaos Pearl, which contains three thousand Great Daos. It is most appropriate to let him find the most suitable path for each disciple.
