The people of the primordial era ruled the heavens and earth.

"Master, what are you doing?" Qin Tian dodged to the side: "Although we were a little unhappy at first, we hit it off immediately."

"Are you saying you don't intend to consider me a friend?"

Through their interactions over the past few days, Styx had come to understand what kind of person Qin Tian was.

Seeing Qin Tian dodge, they knew the reason. Apart from his personality, it was also because at this moment, all the great powers in the world had arrived.

He didn't want to be in the limelight too much.

Thinking of this, the Styx Master shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Qin Tian, ​​you and I are naturally friends."

"I can understand your current behavior, but have you ever thought that while constantly hiding your shortcomings may reduce a lot of trouble for you, it also brings you more trouble at the same time?"

Qin Tian was taken aback by what he heard and asked in confusion, "Master, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

The Lord of the Styx knew that Qin Tian was a typical case of someone who was blinded by their own involvement but saw things clearly from the sidelines.

After a moment's hesitation, the Master of the Styx pointed to himself and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin Tian, ​​let's put it this way."

"Given the same circumstances, do you think most people would choose to provoke me or provoke you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was greatly shocked.

He wasn't stupid; the meaning of the Styx River couldn't be clearer.

At first, he just didn't think of it that way.

Once Qin Tian came to his senses, he wanted to thank the Styx Lord, but he saw that a host of powerful beings in the world had already surrounded the Styx Lord.

They all had big smiles on their faces; you'd think they were very close friends.

Seeing this, Qin Tian was not surprised.

Nobody's a fool. The pressure emanating from Houtu and the Lord of the Styx was stronger than when Nuwa became a saint.

When faced with such a powerful person, you may not need to fawn over them, but you cannot disrespect them; just pretend you didn't see them.

Secondly, the fact that Styx destroyed his two corpses and merged them into his own body when he attained enlightenment must have piqued their curiosity.

They were all among the first great beings to create the world, and having cultivated to this level, none of them felt that they were inferior to others.

In the past, they had no way forward, so they could only endure it.

Accepting Hongjun and dividing the holy positions, the hierarchy was established invisibly.

But now, a path forward has appeared.

They have no reason not to fight!

"If one hears the Way in the morning, one may die content in the evening." This is no more than the saying.

...

"Fellow Daoist Qin Tian, ​​it seems that the Styx Sect Master will be unable to leave for the time being. Why don't you come and sit with me for a while?"

Seeing Qin Tian standing there alone, Houtu put down her work and flew over to say something.

Qin Tian nodded and was about to agree when, unexpectedly, the powerful beings, upon seeing Houtu emerge, rushed over as if they had seen a cat covered in fish.

This is Houtu, an existence who swore an oath to the Great Dao and whose body is one with the Dao.

Although we don't know their exact strength.

But the name alone is enough to attract them.

It should be noted that the last person to achieve Dao attainment was Hongjun.

Among them, the Queen Mother of the West was the most enthusiastic, completely disregarding that Qin Tian was right beside her, calling her "Sister Houtu" with great enthusiasm.

As rare female powerhouses in the primordial world, Houtu and Xiwangmu, though they hadn't met often, had long been spiritually connected.

Houtu, unable to break free from her entanglement, had no choice but to promise that she would begin expounding the wondrous Dharma of the Earth a thousand years later.

The Lord of the Styx, however, did not have such patience.

Having just attained sainthood and whose merits and spiritual inspirations have just dissipated, this is the perfect time to go into seclusion and consolidate one's strength.

After saying a few words to repel the powerful figures who were pestering him, he pulled Qin Tian, ​​who was being watched, into the Blood God Palace.

Zhen Yuanzi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others were filled with envy.

Although Sanqing didn't show it very obviously, he was a little jealous.

They knew all too well who the Lord of the Styx was.

I have never seen anyone treat someone with such enthusiasm.

On the other side, Houtu, after being questioned by the Queen Mother of the West from all sides, grew somewhat impatient and couldn't help but make an excuse, saying that since the underground passage had just been built, they would discuss the matter in detail a thousand years later.

Seeing this, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, Zhenyuanzi and other great beings had no choice but to leave and return to their respective temples.

On Mount Kunlun, the Three Pure Ones, unusually, did not go into seclusion to cultivate their Dao.

At first, it was one thing for them to be surpassed by Nuwa, since she was their junior sister anyway, and Nuwa was pursuing the path of merit and enlightenment, which they didn't like.

Therefore, the Three Pure Ones remained calm.

But now, even Houtu and the Styx River have gotten ahead of them.

Houtu merged with the Dao, possessing unparalleled love and immeasurable merit; they had nothing to say in response.

But when Styx became a saint, the Three Pure Ones could no longer sit still.

Compared to the River Styx, in what way are they inferior?

In terms of treasures, background, and cultivation, they are in no way inferior, and may even be stronger than Styx.

Time is of the essence!

After letting out a long sigh, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and looked at his elder brother, Taiqing Laozi, saying, "Brother, don't you think there's something strange about this?"

Although Taiqing Laozi showed no outward signs of emotion, he was actually quite shocked inside.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly dispersed the good and evil corpses and merged them into himself.

As the eldest of the Three Pure Ones, he also possesses two supreme treasures: the Taiji Diagram and the Exquisite Pagoda of Merit.

Aside from sages, Laozi's cultivation level was unparalleled in the primordial world.

Even Donghuang Taiyi, who has severed all three of his corpses, might not be able to defeat him.

Taiqing Laozi was no less insightful in his understanding of the Great Dao. He could sense that he was just one opportunity away from becoming a saint.

This opportunity is largely related to the human race.

The reason he hesitated to descend the mountain and take this step was simply to pursue perfection and sever the last corpse.

But now, he has completely abandoned that idea.

Those who learn from me will live; those who imitate me will die.

Taiqing Laozi suddenly felt that his teacher Hongjun probably had ulterior motives for giving him the Primordial Purple Qi.

A Heavenly Sage, simply put, is a sage who is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao.

Despite his strength, he still has a father figure above him.

In the past, there was nowhere to choose from, and no other roads were visible, so it was fine.

But now that we've seen it, Taiqing Laozi is absolutely unwilling to lag behind others.

Thinking of this, Taiqing Laozi looked at his two younger brothers and said with a rather earnest tone:

"A thousand years from now, after I have finished listening to Houtu preach, I will prepare to walk my own path and pursue the holy way."

"The Way of Heaven may be good, but the Great Way is what we should seek."

"I understand your question."

"But times have changed. Qin Tian has become a force to be reckoned with. Let's delve into the reasons behind this."

"It would be better to calm down and organize what I have learned."

"Once we reach that level, the answers to these questions will naturally appear before us."

After saying this, Taiqing Laozi, without waiting for his two younger brothers' reactions, turned around and entered his thatched hut.

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Second brother, it seems that today's events have been quite a blow to eldest brother."

"I have never seen you say so much in one breath before."
