Chapter 30 Yuanshi: There are treacherous officials around the Dao Ancestor!
[Based on the current main routes available to the host, congratulations, host, you have been awarded one of two rewards:]
[The Path of Slaughter and the Path of Blood Bundle.]
[The Path of Reincarnation and the Path of the Soul bundle.]
"Option Two." In his heart, Styx made his choice without hesitation.
If you can walk the path of reincarnation, why walk the path of killing?
Force yourself to suffer if you can't?
[The bundle has been activated. Congratulations, host! You have received the following rewards: Reincarnation Array, a copy of the Underground Inheritance (Shangqing Version), and twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.]
"The Shangqing version of the authentic inheritance?" Styx was puzzled. "Which Shangqing is this?"
After investigation, Styx finally understood everything. This authentic inheritance originated from Tongtian before the immeasurable calamity on a certain primordial timeline. During this immeasurable calamity, Hongjun and Luohou and other chaotic demon gods did not affect the primordial world. Instead, the three paths of heaven, earth and man in the primordial world were dominated by Yuanshi, Tongtian and Laozi, respectively.
This is Tongtian's understanding of the Earthly Dao and everything related to it during that immeasurable eon.
This Reincarnation Array was created by combining the Dao of Heaven and Earth, including the Dao of Soul, the Dao of Reincarnation, and the array Dao inherited from Pangu. It can be set up by ghost immortals, with boundless killing power, and it also has the effect of converting wronged souls and enhancing reincarnation.
"Interesting." The reward this time is decent, especially the earthly inheritance that belongs to a certain immeasurable eon, which can be described as priceless.
And there are twelve more Sea-Stabilizing Pearls?
Adding to the twenty-four Sea-Suppressing Pearls and the Qiankun Ruler from before, if I remember correctly—” Styx Primordial Spirit glanced at the two high-grade innate spiritual treasures.
No, if we add the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls given by the system, then there are a total of thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which would then be top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
The twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were enough to enable Randeng to participate in a great battle like the Four Saints' Meeting to slay immortals. You must know that even though the Four Saints had almost all of his attention tied up, it was only then that Randeng was able to successfully launch a sneak attack from behind. This is also the mark of a saint!
This is enough to demonstrate the power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!
They originally belonged to Randeng and Zhao Gongming, disciples of the Jie Sect, respectively. In the end, as Randeng's treasure for proving his Dao, they became the Twenty-Four Heavens in the West, which was a rare and great merit.
More importantly, this act of merit is not difficult.
If Burning Lamp can do it, there's no reason he can't. Styx is certain that Burning Lamp's main cultivation path has absolutely nothing to do with the universe, and as for cultivation level...
As one of the few great supernatural beings who studied under one of the three thousand disciples of Zixiao, Randeng seemed to remain at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal until the end of the Investiture of the Gods.
"It really works to increase Hongjun's favorability." As he pondered this, Styx sighed. Originally, he had only tried it casually and did not expect to succeed. He was just hoping to gain merit by using Hongjun's name to gain merit even if he failed.
Unexpectedly, there was such a pleasant surprise.
"It's time to return to the Blood Sea and digest what I've gained this time," Styx pondered, then headed straight for the Netherworld Blood Sea.
The newly acquired spiritual treasures need to be refined, the inheritance needs to be comprehended, and there are still areas where the previously cultivated Great Dao can be consolidated. All of these require time, and there is less than one Yuanhui (a unit of time) left before the second lecture at Zixiao Palace.

Watching the Styx River transform into a streak of blood and head towards the Netherworld Blood Sea, Xuanming and Houtu exchanged a glance.
"Have you found it?" Xuanming asked Houtu.
"No." Houtu shook her head. She had been thinking for a long time, but without a primordial spirit, she could not perceive cause and effect. It was really difficult to find the person behind the scheme through the slightest clues.
"Then, let's think about it: if we go to war with the Witch Clan, who will benefit the most?" Xuanming looked at Houtu.
Houtu fell silent once more.
Because there are so many people who can benefit from the weakening of the Witch Clan, thinking about it this way, the target range suddenly expands considerably.
The Eastern King Duke is one, the Three Pure Ones are one, all the myriad spirits of the primordial world are one, and so are many powerful beings within the primordial world.
"What do you think of that inscription?" Houtu looked at Xuanming, changed the subject, and asked.
"It's quite convenient." As one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Xuanming also has her own tribe. She clearly knows the importance of the emergence of writing for the development of the witch tribe. And the current witch tribe does not have writing.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it; the more naturally gifted a race is, the harder it is for them to develop later in life.
"How about we take this inscription back to our clan?" Xuanming asked Houtu.
"No." Houtu shook her head upon hearing this. If the immortal path has its own script, then shouldn't their witch clan also have its own script?
If so, could one also earn merit like the River Styx?
Kunlun Mountain.
"Second brother, you're wrong this time," Tongtian said with a smile as he looked at Yuanshi.
In the primordial world, unless one deliberately conceals the secrets of heaven, there is very little that can be hidden from the great powers. This time, Styx worshipped heaven and earth at Shouyang Mountain, expressed his gratitude to the sage, and bestowed upon the sage the honorific title of "Dao Ancestor". Furthermore, he created immortal script and perfected the Dao of Immortality.
At the same time, Styx received a reward from the Dao Ancestor: a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and two rather good high-grade innate spiritual treasures. It can be said that Styx was quite satisfied with this matter.
"What's wrong?"
"How can something like this be considered wrong?" Yuanshi looked at Tongtian, wanting to say something, but not knowing how or what to say.
"Oh, I see. Second brother is right. It was the sage—the Dao Ancestor—who was wrong?" Tongtian looked at Yuanshi and continued to tease him with a smile. He was used to his second brother always scolding him. Well, now he's done for.
"The Styx River is a treacherous villain. If we allow him to ascend to a high place, he will surely cause the primordial world to be in danger of collapse." Yuanshi avoided Tongtian's gaze and did not meet his eyes, but instead turned his gaze to his elder brother.
Hongjun sent two boys to present the treasure, a scene that greatly exceeded Yuanshi's calculations.
Yuanshi, now watching Hongjun reward the Styx River, felt as if a loyal minister were seeing his king being misled by a treacherous lord who only knew how to flatter and fawn. He was heartbroken.
The sage was foolish!
At the same time, there was one thing that Yuanshi found very unexpected.
Why is there no movement from the Witch Clan?
That shouldn't be the case.
According to his thinking, the Wu tribe should have already taken action after hearing the news that the Styx wanted to seize the true lineage of Pangu.
Moreover, to ensure success, he specifically chose the most hot-tempered and easily provoked ancestor, Zhu Rong. As long as the Wu tribe really fought with the Styx River, given the Styx River's inexhaustible blood sea and its immortality, it would inevitably be a one-sided war in which the Wu tribe would unilaterally crush them, but it would also be a protracted tug-of-war that the Wu tribe could not end for a long time.
After Zhu Rong summoned all the ancestral witches, the witch army was all assembled. Why did they suddenly disperse later?
Who is stopping him from eliminating the traitors beside the saint?
