Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

Looking at the Styx River, which was still just a mass of blood and had not yet taken form, Qin Ming's eyes flickered.

As for Styx, he was devastated at that moment.

Tell me, why did you go and observe this pervert?

If he did not release his divine sense, with the protection of the great formation and the Heavenly Dao concealing the secrets of heaven, even if Qin Ming was a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, he would not be able to find him.

However, it was out of momentary curiosity that he released his divine sense to pay attention.

After all, he was the only being in the Blood Sea who had ever developed sentience.

Since he gained sentience, he would also swim in the sea of ​​blood in his spare time from cultivation.

However, apart from the many remnants of souls that mysteriously appeared tens of thousands of years ago, there were no other living beings in the vast sea of ​​blood.

Now that there's suddenly an additional cultivator, how could Styx not be curious?

However, it was this curiosity that led him to expose his whereabouts, which allowed Qin Ming to find him.

At this moment, Styx wished he could slap himself.

Seeing Qin Ming's eyes gleaming as he seemed lost in thought, Styx didn't dare to breathe.

As Styx felt uneasy, Qin Ming slowly spoke: "I am the Pure World Dao Lord. The Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus is destined for me, and it concerns my future cultivation."

"Of course, I will not take it by force."

"I will give you two choices. First, I will exchange it with you for a primordial spiritual treasure of the same grade as the Karmic Fire Red Lotus."

"Secondly, you shall become my disciple, and I will impart to you the Daoist arts and supernatural powers."

You have one hour to consider.

Originally, with his strength, he could have easily killed Styx.

After all, the Styx River is not yet fully connected to the Blood Sea's origin. Even if the Styx River is destroyed, one will only gain some karma.

He possesses immense merit, and a little karma cannot affect him in any way.

However, considering that he would be building his own power in the future, and that Styx's talent and background were also quite good, if he were to take him as a disciple, he could have another powerful figure under his command in the future.

Why not do it?

Of course, if Styx doesn't know what's good for him, he won't show any mercy and will directly suppress Styx.

On the other side, Styx was shocked after hearing Qin Ming's words.

He should have thought of that sooner.

Who else in the entire prehistoric world, besides Qin Ming, could emit such a powerful purifying divine light?

He secretly pondered how to make a decision.

Judging from Qin Ming's current demeanor, he is definitely determined to obtain his personal spiritual treasure, the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Although he didn't know what Qin Ming was planning to do, he knew that if he didn't give up the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Lotus, Qin Ming would definitely not let it go.

Once Qin Ming makes a move, killing him will be as easy as waving his sleeve.

Even the finest magical artifacts are useless if you're dead.

So now it's a matter of how to make the right choice to maximize your benefits.

First, exchanging for a spirit treasure of the same level seems like a fair trade.

However, the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Even if Qin Ming could exchange it for a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it probably wouldn't be as valuable as the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Choosing this option will at most prevent you from losing out.

However, if another powerful figure were to pass by this place and discover him, without a powerful backer, not only would his spiritual treasure be at risk of being stolen, but his life would also be in great danger.

It would be different if he became Qin Ming's disciple.

Although he had never taken human form, he knew that Qin Ming was a powerful being who had taken human form not long after the creation of the world.

He fought ferocious beasts, slew rebellious gods, and became renowned for his prowess.

Such a powerful being must possess many valuable items. If he were to become Qin Ming's disciple, would Qin Ming, as the teacher, have the nerve to take his disciple's things for free?

At that time, he would not only have a powerful backer, but also the opportunity to listen to Qin Ming preach.

Having thought this through, Styx no longer hesitated: "Disciple greets Master."

"Since this Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus is helpful to your cultivation, I will now sever my connection with it."

As he spoke, Styx suddenly channeled his magic power, transforming it into a divine blade, and with a single strike, completely severed the connection between himself and the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

As a result, the source of the Styx River was somewhat damaged, and its original form became much dimmer.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for accepting the sixth personal disciple, Ancestor Styx. The host is rewarded with the Myriad Spirit Killing Scripture and the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Blood God Banner."

The Myriad Spirits Killing Scripture: Absorbs the bloodline of all spirits, can transform into all things in the universe, kill heaven, earth, gods and demons. When it is perfected, it can even kill the Great Dao!

Blood God Banner: A top-grade innate spiritual treasure containing forty-eight innate divine restrictions. It can be used to refine 1.296 billion Blood God Children, each containing half the strength of the original body.

If the original body dies, it can be resurrected without damage by using the Blood God Banner.

It can borrow 1.296 billion Blood God Children to set up the Blood God Killing Soul Array, which cannot be broken by anyone but a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Looking at the cultivation technique and top-grade innate spiritual treasure rewarded by the system, Qin Ming smiled and took out the Three Lights Divine Water, continuously pouring it into the body of the Styx River.

With the nourishment of the Three Lights Divine Water, the original essence that had been lost was quickly restored.

Before long, Styx, having recovered to his peak condition, said gratefully, "Thank you, teacher."

"It's alright. Your injuries are also related to me. Besides, you are my disciple, so I naturally cannot ignore the damage to your essence."

"Today you have become my disciple, and you are now my sixth personally taught disciple. Above you are five senior brothers. When you take human form in the future, I will personally guide you into the sect."

"This is the Ten Thousand Spirits Killing Scripture. You should cultivate it diligently in the future. This is the Blood God Banner, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure containing forty-eight innate divine restrictions. It can be used to protect you on your path."

"In addition, as compensation for the spiritual treasure that I have given you, I will bestow upon you the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Sky-Splitting Sword."

"You were formed from the seed of the path of killing, and later you cultivated the path of blood. This Sky-Splitting Sword, together with your Yuan Tu Abi Twin Swords, can help you cultivate the God of Slaughter Sword and create your own path. Cultivate diligently in the future and do not disappoint your master."

As he spoke, Qin Ming activated his Great Dao Divine Eye, completed the seal, and then infused the cultivation technique and spiritual treasure into the Styx Ancestor's body to help him fuse with it.

Feeling the profound cultivation technique that appeared in his mind, as well as the two spiritual treasures that were in no way inferior to the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Styx was overjoyed.

He made the right choice.

His teacher is indeed generous; with these three items, he will be able to transform into human form more quickly.

"Wait a moment to cultivate. You were born from the Blood Sea, and most of the Blood Sea's origin is connected to you. Although you have not yet refined it, you should still have a clear understanding of the Blood Sea."

"Do you know what makes the Blood Sea so extraordinary?"

The Styx River was born from the Blood Sea, and most of the Blood Sea's essence gathered in the Styx River. Although it was not refined, the Styx River should still be able to use the Blood Sea's essence to explore various parts of the Blood Sea.

After hearing Qin Ming's words, Minghe pondered for a moment and then said, "Teacher, there really is one place that is unusual."

"Where?"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"Teacher, come with me!"

As he spoke, the Styx River transformed into a rainbow of light and fled towards the other side of the Blood Sea.

Seeing this, Qin Ming followed closely behind.

Before long, when the two arrived at a doorway that exuded a cold and eerie aura, Styx stopped.

"Teacher, this is the place."

"I can freely enter and exit any part of the Blood Sea, but only here, every time I try to enter, I sense a deadly sense of danger."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming activated his Great Dao Divine Eye and observed carefully.

After a long while, Qin Ming's lips curled up: "There's no mistake, this is the entrance to the Netherworld."
