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

Chapter 201 Tongtian: Sooner or later, our Jie Sect will also achieve this level of power.

In Biyou Palace, Tongtian looked at Minghe, who had just recruited many disciples, with great envy.

"Fellow Daoist Styx, you are truly blessed." Tongtian looked at Styx and thought to himself.

The disciples that Styx accepted this time all have excellent backgrounds. With proper training, many of them will achieve great success. Moreover, some of them have a master-disciple relationship with him.

Styx has stolen his disciple.

However, Tongtian really couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't possibly cause trouble for the Styx River just for the sake of one disciple; that was impossible.

Moreover, this is something I can only keep to myself; it wouldn't sound good if I told others.

If you weren't incompetent, how could your disciple have become a disciple of the Styx Sect?

Tongtian, with his unyielding pride, didn't care about the current momentum, power, and cultivation level of the Styx. However, he was genuinely envious of the Styx's Taoist sect having gained so many new disciples.

"I need to take on more disciples," Tongtian thought to himself. The Zhuxian Sword Formation was powerful enough for killing, but it was not strong enough for suppressing the luck of the sect. Moreover, he had not yet obtained a spiritual treasure that was strong enough to suppress the luck of the Sage Sect.

Although the Sage Sect has Sages, it is impossible for it to decline, but it is slightly weaker in this respect compared to other Sage Sects.

Tongtian also needs more disciples to help him improve the fortune of the Jie Sect, since fortune is something that many hands make light work.

"Reporting to the Great Emperor, shocking news!" In the Great Sun Palace within the Thirty-Three Heavens, Bai Ze rushed over in a panic and looked at Di Jun, who was handling Heavenly Court affairs in the hall.

"What is it? Why are you so panicked, Fellow Daoist Bai Ze?" Di Jun raised his eyes and looked at Bai Ze, who had broken into the Dao Palace.

"Your Majesty, disaster has struck! Disaster has struck!" Bai Ze rushed to Di Jun's side and then hurriedly pointed to the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, please speak frankly without reservation," Di Jun said, turning his attention back to the matter at hand. His tone was as calm as still water.

"This—" Bai Ze was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Since it concerned sages, and more than one sage, Bai Ze was afraid he would be struck by lightning if he said it out loud.

"There's no need to worry. The sages' attention is not on us now. Moreover, the primordial world is filled with calamity energy and the secrets of heaven are in chaos. Even a sage would find it difficult to deduce anything from the current heavenly laws. Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, please speak your mind." Di Jun said calmly. There was one more thing he didn't say: if there really was a sage monitoring them day and night, then even if he tried to conceal the secrets of heaven, it would be useless.

The gap between a quasi-saint and a saint is simply too great.

"Your Majesty, the matter you asked me to investigate has taken a turn for the worse," Bai Ze said to Di Jun, his voice filled with worry and evasiveness.

"Oh?" Di Jun looked at Bai Ze.

The affairs of the human race are of paramount importance. First, they relate to the two sages, Nuwa and Styx. Furthermore, the human race's fortune is in competition with that of the demon race. After Styx spread his teachings to humanity, the human race's fortune has increased at an unprecedented rate, while the demon race's fortune is waning day by day. It can be said that this is crucial for the Heavenly Court, which is currently centered around the demon race—

Or, to put it another way, after the Three Pure Ones and Hongyun left the Heavenly Court, it would be more appropriate to call it the Demon Court. For the Demon Court at this moment, solving the problem of the human race had become one of the most urgent issues.

The priority is only below the Witch Clan, but the Witch Clan still has the cessation of war deadline set by the Dao Ancestor, while the human race's fortune is rising every day, pressing the demon race step by step.

If things continue like this, the biggest winner after the war between the demon and witch races will probably be the human race. In that sense, the war between the demon race and the witch race will seem to have been fought by the human race.

Is there any reason for this?

In addition, following Yuanshi's instructions, Dijun chose to entrust this matter to Bai Ze for overall coordination.

Whether it was experimenting with using human blood and soul to forge weapons to harm the Wu tribe, or carrying out secret plans, all of these were entrusted to Bai Ze, the most trusted demon sage of Emperor Jun.

"How's it going?" Di Jun looked at Bai Ze and began to inquire about how well Bai Ze had carried out the plan.

"Your Majesty, as you instructed, I secretly captured some humans and discovered that, as Your Majesty said, the human blood and soul are extremely pure, which is indeed incompatible with the extremely impure body of the witch race. Your Majesty's previous plan to me is indeed feasible." Bai Ze looked at Di Jun in front of him and began to recount his gains in detail.

"However—" Bai Ze hesitated before continuing.

"Speak frankly, my dear minister," Di Jun replied, looking at Bai Ze before him.

"However, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are no ordinary beings." Bai Ze said this, first looking around to make sure there were no tribulation clouds gathering, before continuing, "The Twelve Ancestral Witches rely on the Dao of Earth Immortals, and their true bodies are closely connected to Mount Buzhou. Even if they truly refine that treasure, without the support of the Zhou Tian Star Array, I'm afraid it would be difficult to truly kill one of the Ancestral Witches."

But----"

Bai Ze observed Di Jun's expression and, seeing that Di Jun showed no signs of anger, continued, "However, I'm afraid the Zhou Tian Star Formation will be unable to withstand the power of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation."

"What you say, Minister Bai Ze, is quite right. However, you need not worry about how to break the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation. I have my own plan," Di Jun said, looking at Bai Ze.

"Your Majesty's strategic planning is truly a blessing for the Heavenly Court and the Demon Race," Bai Ze said, looking at Di Jun.

"But Your Majesty, it may not be so easy to obtain human blood and souls to forge weapons now."

"Your Majesty, are you aware that the Styx Saint is preaching and recruiting disciples extensively? Many humans have joined Taoism. If we were to massacre humans at this time, and the Styx Saint deems it a provocation, I fear we would face annihilation before we even finish forging the magic weapon capable of breaking through the true forms of the Twelve Ancestral Witches." Bai Ze looked at Di Jun before him and continued.

"Hmm." Di Jun nodded upon hearing this.

He had also heard about Styx's sermons and the recruitment of disciples. After all, with such a grand scale, it was impossible for Di Jun, a quasi-saint, not to have sensed it.

The Styx River's sudden recruitment of a large number of human disciples made him wary. After all, although the Primordial Sage said that the Styx River would not easily get involved in the Great Tribulation, and the Dao Ancestor had also placed restrictions on the Sages, who could guarantee that?

If everything the Primordial Sage said must be correct, then how could he have suffered defeat after defeat, losing to the Styx Sage multiple times?

The destruction of the Heavenly Court by the Styx River is just a matter of a thought. If the Styx River is truly angered, he will destroy the Heavenly Court. Even if the Dao Ancestor punishes him then, it will be too late, since their lives will be irretrievable.

Moreover, given the importance that Dao Ancestor placed on Styx, even if Styx had actually done that, it's uncertain whether Dao Ancestor would punish him.
