Chapter 47 Yuanshi: Save all living beings from fire and water, teacher! Hongjun: Throw him out!
After the group of powerful beings left, it was clear that the standoff between Yuanshi and Haotian had not stopped.
As for the scene of Yuanshi confronting Haotian, Laozi and Tongtian did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. What problem could there be?
The Three Pure Ones are the true descendants of Pangu!
Anyone else would never dare to defy the Dao Ancestor's attendant like this, but the Three Pure Ones—
You're just a child; if you talk back, so be it. What can you do about it?
"Leave immediately! This is the Lord's decree. Do you intend to disobey?!" Haotian looked at Yuanshi and questioned him sternly.
"How could the teacher allow Styx to do such a perverse thing?"
"As long as you open the gates of Zixiao Palace and let me see my teacher, and explain the whole story, I will naturally leave." Yuanshi looked at Haotian and continued to ask.
Laozi and Tongtian arrived beside Yuanshi, standing shoulder to shoulder with him. In an instant, the auras of the Three Pure Ones merged into one, bringing immense pressure to Haotian.
Of course, Haotian was, after all, the Dao Ancestor's attendant, so the Three Pure Ones only used their aura to put pressure on Haotian and did not take any other measures.
"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, please stop targeting Fellow Daoist Haotian." Styx looked at Yuanshi, waved his hand to dispel the pressure on Haotian, and then continued.
"shut up!
Styx, you are a wicked sycophant who only knows how to flatter and fawn upon the ruler. Even if you do not stand in hell today, as long as you are still here, your heinous acts will continue endlessly!
"If it weren't for your instigation..." Before Yuanshi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hongjun, who could no longer tolerate it.
"Enough!" Hongjun's figure appeared from the boundless chaos.
In fact, Hongjun had also considered whether he would still be so dissatisfied with the Three Pure Ones if Styx had not stood up for him.
Was all of this instigated by the Styx?
However, Hongjun quickly abandoned this doubt. The loyalty of the Styx River was genuine, and the stubbornness of the Three Pure Ones was also real. Since that was the case, what was there to doubt?
Does this mean that after we achieve Dao, the primordial world we plan will also have to consider the whims of the Three Pure Ones?
After dealing with the Wu tribe and all the spirits of the primordial world, and elevating the human race to the position of the Heavenly Emperor, shouldn't the power to manage the primordial world be divided 30/70?
How come it's only 70%?
Seventy percent of them belong to the Three Pure Ones!
All that painstaking cultivation over countless years, enduring countless eons to attain sainthood, spreading the Dao throughout the primordial world, collecting fortune, and then merging with the Dao—was it all for the sake of merging with the Three Pure Ones?
Then wouldn't he, a dignified saint, become—
"Teacher!" The Three Pure Ones greeted Hongjun upon his appearance.
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor. This disciple has disturbed your peaceful cultivation. I beg your wrath and punishment." Styx bowed and said upon seeing Hongjun appear.
There was nothing they could do; Hongjun had given them too much.
Even if the Primordial Purple Qi is indeed a trap, the innate supreme treasure is real, and the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds are also real.
"Master," Haotian said respectfully, feeling a surge of confidence.
Any objections?
Go and tell the Dao Ancestor!
When Yuanshi saw that Styx dared to call himself a "disciple," he wanted to stop him, since not just anyone was qualified to be a disciple of a sage.
"What crime have you committed? If you are guilty, then who in the primordial world is without sin?"
Establishing hell serves two purposes: first, to punish evil spirits, and second, to shake the evil in the hearts of all living beings in the primordial world. It is a wonderful plan to eliminate the calamity and stop fighting. What is wrong with that?
"Go back and carry it out." Hongjun waved his hand at the Styx River, without correcting his mistake of referring to himself as a "disciple".
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, we can only guess. Who would dare to guess or understand the thoughts of a sage?
"Teacher—" Upon hearing this, Yuanshi became anxious again. His teacher was about to be deceived by the Styx River once more.
"Yuanshi, I have already ordered you to return to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate your mind and body. Why are you making such a fuss here?" Hongjun looked at Yuanshi and spoke first.
"Teacher, whether it is an evil deed or a good deed, it depends on who is carrying it out. When an evil person performs a good deed, it will only cause great suffering to the living beings of the prehistoric world. Even if establishing Hell is a good deed, entrusting Hell to someone like Styx is probably more of a disaster than a blessing!" Yuanshi looked at Hongjun in front of him, showing no intention of returning to Kunlun Mountain.
Anyway, the Dao Ancestor had already taken most of his noodles at Zixiao Palace, so he couldn't back down even more. "Dao Ancestor, I always think of all living beings in the prehistoric world. I don't know why, but Fellow Daoist Yuanshi has misunderstood me like this. I am wronged." Before Hongjun could speak, Styx unleashed his Heavenly Dao Merit. Behind him, the Daoist Golden Wheel manifested, and the boundless golden light of merit almost dispelled the surrounding chaos.
Styx had a guess about Hongjun's actions at this moment. If it wasn't that Hongjun wanted to get rid of him, then it was that the law of reincarnation on him had piqued Hongjun's interest. Hongjun wanted to use him to completely control reincarnation.
Of course, Styx didn't know how much of an effect his previous performance had, but as long as it made his path smoother, who cared?
In this vast and desolate world, is there anyone who can avoid being taken advantage of?
The merits behind Styx were accumulated from several great merits. Of course, in terms of the quality of these merits, the merits of the Heavenly Dao are not as good as the Great Dao merits of the Three Pure Ones. In terms of the quantity of these merits, they are far less than the total merits of any one of the Three Pure Ones.
However, these merits were accumulated by Styx himself through many good deeds recognized by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World. Apart from a small portion being consumed when melting the bottleneck of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, the vast majority of the remaining merits were still used by Styx to "suppress his body". These merits are an excellent rebuttal to the words of the Primordial Beginning.
Because now, in terms of Heavenly Dao merit alone, looking at the entire Zixiao Palace and among the three thousand guests of Zixiao, no one can surpass the amount of merit on Minghe's body!
"Teacher, the last great calamity affected countless living beings, and many wronged souls died tragically. It is not appropriate to establish hell now, Teacher!"
Even if Hell were truly established, it concerns all races of the primordial world, and should not be left to Styx alone to exercise such power. A person of great merit should be sent to supervise it. Yuanshi looked at the terrifying Heavenly Dao merit behind Styx and was speechless for a moment. Then he looked at Hongjun and said with great sorrow.
"Enough, Laozi. Take your second junior brother back to Kunlun Mountain and let him reflect on his actions." At this moment, Hongjun was extremely impatient and no longer wanted to explain to Yuanshi.
Supervision?
At this moment, Hongjun would never give Yuanshi the chance to intervene in the cycle of reincarnation, regardless of the likelihood!
"Alas." Lao Tzu had no choice but to follow the sage's instructions.
However, he also felt that Hongjun's favoritism towards the Styx River was excessive.
Does a sage like such sycophants?
Although he despised Styx's methods, if they were truly effective, they would probably have to find a way to learn from them.
"Save all living beings from fire and water, Master!" Yuanshi, who was dragged away by Laozi, felt a chill in his heart, but relying on his responsibility to all living beings in the prehistoric world and the passion in his heart, he still tried to advise Hongjun.
Of course, Yuan Shi also had a vague feeling that the River Styx must not be allowed to be built in this hell!
