Chapter 14: The Quasi-Holy Realm
Time is like a cloud of smoke, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed. On this day, in the Blood God Palace, Styx was meditating, but suddenly his mind moved, and in the dark, cause and effect were implicated, so that he sensed the changes in the heavens and suddenly woke up.
"Serendipity?"
Styx was slightly silent, but he didn't dare to slack off, for the monk, it was not trivial to have a chance for him, and immediately Styx got up and walked out of the Blood God Palace, and did not communicate with the mosquito people, and left the sea of blood and flew towards the desolate land.
Although the Styx has cultivated to a high level, he has not realized any particularly advanced retreat techniques, and the only blood retreat has to burn his own blood, under normal circumstances, he will not use it at all, in other words, in this desolation, no one can let him use this blood escape technique, so this technique is mostly created for him to establish a sect and accept disciples in the future.
However, although the flying method of the River Styx is not considered to be the top of the wilderness, but at this time, he was promoted to a quasi-saint, and the bonus brought by his strength was enough to make up for it, I saw him take a step, and suddenly the surrounding space changed, and the next moment his figure appeared thousands of miles away, which can really be said to be close to the end of the world, and the power of the quasi-saint was undoubtedly revealed.
"Whoa!"
The void tore open, and the River Styx instantly crossed an endless distance and descended to the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
"Is this the place? Hey, is there anyone one step faster than me?"
Styx suddenly saw that outside of a nearby valley, there was a large array that had been broken, and inside, there was a spiritual root in the depths of the valley, exuding a misty spiritual power, and several figures surrounded it.
"Well, the colorful gourd vine, it turned out to be this thing?"
Styx stepped in, and immediately saw the true appearance of the spiritual root, exuding endless vitality on the emerald green vines, there are seven gourds of different brilliance, at this time, this gourd is obviously about to ripen, so the heavenly machine manifested, only to be sensed by everyone, converged.
"These top ten spiritual roots are really ...... It's a little pitiful. ”
Styx sighed that this colorful gourd vine was one of the ten innate spiritual roots of the Flood Wilderness, and it was on a par with the rest of the Fusang, laurel, ginseng fruit, Huangzhong plum, peach, Bodhi, bitter bamboo, green willow, and immortal apricot. There are many legends about them in later generations, and the fate of the colorful gourd vine is the saddest, not only the seven gourds that bear are divided, but the body is also lost too much because of the origin, and finally dies.
"Stygian river friends, you're here too?"
At this time, a melodious woman's voice sounded like a silver bell, and Styx looked at it, only to see a woman in a green palace dress, with a dignified and holy aura, it was Nuwa, but she was alone at this time, and her brother Fuxi was not around.
"Hmm. This thing has a fate with me, but I have to come. Styx nodded slightly, and then looked at the rest of the people, Sanqing, Hongyun, Zhen Yuanzi, Dijun, and Taiyi.
"Sure enough, it's these people. ”
Styx sighed in his heart, according to legend, it was these people who divided the seven gourds of the colorful gourd vine, like the first golden gourd was obtained by Lao Tzu, but it was used by him to make pills in the future. The second red gourd was picked by Red Cloud and refined by him into a Ninety-Nine Scattered Soul Gourd. The third is the white gourd, which was picked by Taiyi and is one of the most famous magic weapons in the Battle of the Gods. Nuwa got the fourth cyan gourd and refined it into a demon flag. There are also the fifth and sixth yellow gourds and black gourds, which are also inevitably lost, and are obtained by Tongtian and Yuanshi.
Of the seven gourds, only the seventh green gourd at the end is not yet fully ripe, and it is not clear who got it.
"Well, if that counts, wouldn't I have gained nothing?" Styx was stunned.
"Styx Dao friends, there are only two of you and me here, how about we join forces in a while?" At this time, Nuwa suddenly spoke, not a sound transmission, a few people next to him naturally heard it, and their expressions suddenly changed, and the strength of Styx was naturally clear to everyone, when entering Zixiao Palace, it was just a sword, and Taiyi was seriously injured.
"Such a strong man, if he joins forces with Nuwa, it will be difficult to do. Everyone's faces were ugly, and Di Jun and Tai Yi were even worse, their eyes flickered, but they didn't give up, although the Styx was strong, but everyone present was not easy to match.
Styx's gaze swept over everyone, especially Di Jun and Taiyi's bodies for a while, causing everyone's pressure to increase suddenly, which was different from the hurried sword outside Zixiao Palace, this time they personally felt the power of Styx, which actually brought them an incomparable sense of crisis, as if Styx made a move, it was very likely to kill them.
"Dijun, Taiyi......"
Styx's eyes had murderous intent in them, and he looked at Di Jun and Taiyi, "Last time, I didn't care about my chance, so I didn't care about you." ”
With that, Styx approached the two of them step by step.
"Styx, friends and slow!"
However, less than three steps after the River Styx, Sanqing and the others all stepped out and blocked the River Styx, "It's better to settle a grudge than to resolve a grudge, this is really going to kill each other, it's not good for anyone, isn't it?"
"......Huh? Do you need to take care of it?"
Styx frowned, and said in a deep voice, wisps of bloody aura rose around his body, and along with it, half of the Yuan Tu Sword was also drawn out of the scabbard by Styx.
The momentum of the quasi-saint was released, so that the people were completely changed, before they believed that their cultivation had increased greatly, and they were not afraid of the Styx when they joined forces, but at this time, they ......
"Styx River friends, don't be impatient, we don't want to meddle in the grievances between you, but at this time, the big array protecting the gourd vine is broken, if you do it, won't you hurt the gourd vine?" Lao Tzu said with the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda suspended above his head.
"Fellow Daoist Styx, congratulations on reaching the realm of quasi-saints!" At this time, Nuwa also walked over and said to Styx: "But what Daoist friend Lao Tzu said is also reasonable, now is not the time to do it, why don't you expose this grievance?"
Styx's brow furrowed even more, and he didn't move for a long time.
"Nuwa Daoyou, this time I will give you a face, forget about the last time, but if there is a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Styx inserted the Yuantu sword back into the scabbard, ignoring the ugly faces of Di Jun and Taiyi, returning to its original position, closing his eyes and waiting for the gourd vine to mature.
"Give me face, what face do I have with the River Styx?" Nuwa looked puzzled, she thought about it for a long time and didn't think it clearly, she didn't have any intersection with the River Styx at all, ......okay? Nuwa's face suddenly turned slightly red.
"Nuwa Daoyou. At this moment, suddenly Lao Tzu spoke.
"Ah......h
Nuwa hurriedly came back to her senses, "Lao Tzu Daoyou, what's the matter?"
"Well, Nuwa Daoyou, you see, there are so many Daoists who come here now, but there are only seven gourds, but how can they be divided? After all, it would be bad to cause a fight for this treasure. Lao Tzu smiled.
"Uh......"
Nuwa choked at her words, she was naturally not stupid, where did she not know that Lao Tzu was afraid that the Styx River was strong, otherwise why didn't he say it before? However, she didn't want any fighting, after all, ...... She's a peacemaker, so she won't fight if she doesn't fight!
"Then how should it be divided?" Nuwa asked rhetorically, since Lao Tzu proposed it, she didn't believe that Lao Tzu hadn't figured out the method of distribution.
"Well, the treasure is destined to get it. Now there are nine of us here, and it's definitely impossible to split it evenly. In my opinion, it is better to rely on their own induction, sense the gourd that is destined for themselves, if you don't feel it, it is not related to the treasure, and you can't complain about others. When Lao Tzu heard this, he smiled.
"Okay, that's it!" At this time, Styx, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes and spoke.
