Chapter 34: The Return of the Sea of Blood
After talking about Buddhism, Yuan Lei and the Jade Emperor led the topic to Taishang Laojun again, and they were extremely cautious about this saint clone, and even the queen mother, who had been indifferent and silent, became dignified.
"Taishang Laojun is a saint clone, and his strength is unfathomable, even I may not be his opponent. However, it was precisely because of his saint clone that he was a little constrained, and he didn't dare to make a rash move, for fear of arousing the disgust of Dao Ancestor!" Yuan Lei said with a slight frown, his tone a little hesitant.
"But Taishang Laojun's grasp of the general trend of the heavenly machine must be much deeper than ours, just because at this moment, there are no available soldiers in the two sects, and they cannot compete with us, once there are multiple prospective students in the two sects, they will definitely not get along as well as now!" Although most of Yuan Lei's words were just speculations, they also said that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother fell into contemplation.
"This matter is indeed tricky, it is a big hidden danger in my Heavenly Court, if it is not handled well, it will inevitably plunge Heavenly Court into turmoil, and the danger will surpass that of Buddhism!" said the Jade Emperor with a sad expression.
"Although we know that Taishang Laojun harbors evil intentions, but we can't do anything about him, I don't know if the emperor has a good plan?"
"Niangniang is too exalted to me, although I have some strategy, but I am helpless in this matter. No matter what we do, as long as we make a move against Taishang Laojun, it will be a crime of offending the saint, and then Lao Tzu will be able to deal with the heavenly court and set up the heavenly court. Yuan Lei smiled bitterly. "Hey, we can only wait and see how it changes, so that we can't change everything, and we can't mess with ourselves. ”
"That's all it takes!" the Jade Emperor sighed softly, what Yuan Lei said was almost the same as what he thought, and there was not much difference.
Then Yuan Lei discussed with the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother for a while, and then left.
After Yuan Lei left. The Jade Emperor summoned Tai Bai Xing, entrusted him with the task of recruiting manpower, and asked him to secretly search for the quasi-saint powerhouse of scattered cultivation. At the same time, the Jade Emperor also asked Tai Bai Xing to pay attention to the actions of the two religions and Western Buddhism, and report it at any time.
After Yuan Lei descended from the heavenly court, he came to the underworld again. Came to the temple of the capital. As soon as Yuan Lei arrived at the Xudu Palace, Kuafu, who was the Emperor of Xudu, greeted him.
"I left in a hurry last time, and I couldn't catch up with my brother properly, and I hope my brother won't be surprised!" Yuan Lei said with a smile when he saw his father welcome.
"Brother said that, how can I blame you!" said in a bold voice, with a thick smile on his face, he walked quickly to Yuan Lei's side, and put his right hand on Yuan Lei's shoulder. "I'll talk about the rest of the matter when I enter the temple. Hahaha!"
"Okay!" Yuan Lei readily agreed, and then walked along Kuafu towards the main hall.
After coming to the main hall, Kuafu took Yuan Lei straight to the side hall where he usually lived and chatted with Yuan Leire.
"Last time, it wasn't for the timely rescue of my brother, but for my brother, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious!" said Kuafu with a melancholy expression.
"Brother said with a smile, even if I don't make a move, Pingxin Niangniang will not sit idly by, how could she watch her die in the underworld!" Yuan Lei smiled lightly. "Pingxin Niangniang just wants my brother to get his heart back. It's been a long time coming!"
"Hey, I'm ashamed of my love for my mother!" said Kua's father, sighing earnestly.
"I'm looking for my brother this time. One is to come to my brother to catch up with the old days, and the other is naturally something to say!" Yuan Lei was a little depressed when he saw that he was praising his father's affection, and said straight to the point.
As soon as Kuafu heard this, he instantly cheered up, stared at Yuan Lei with his eyes firmly and listened with his ears pricked up.
"Heavenly Court will not send troops into the underworld, and in the future, I still want my brother to take a group of underworld Yin soldiers to guard the underworld. Maintain the order of the six realms of reincarnation!" Yuan Lei smiled faintly and continued.
"Oh!" Kuafu said in a low voice of surprise, looking a little incredible, he didn't expect the Jade Emperor to be so relieved and give himself such autonomy. Although I have talked about the underworld before. is still dominated by himself, but once the Heavenly Soldiers enter the Underworld, the situation will become very different and very complicated.
"I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with your brother!" Father Kua looked at Yuan Lei and groaned.
"Haha!" Yuan Lei smiled lightly, and then said. "No matter what, the underworld is still under the control of my brother and Niangniang, which is definitely the best outcome for the Wu Clan!"
"Hey!" Although Yuan Lei did not answer directly, it was equivalent to acquiescing to the matter. Kuafu naturally knows the benefits of this matter for the Wu clan, as long as the underworld is in his hands, although the luck of the Wu clan will not skyrocket, and he will fight for hegemony again, but it can make the Wu clan get the luck of cultivating the qi for a long time, and there will be no disaster of extermination. Kuafu sighed lightly and said no more.
"The underworld will rely on my brother in the future, and my brother should not be pampered and forget his heart!" Yuan Lei quipped.
"Don't worry, I will definitely guard the underworld!" said Kuafu solemnly.
"Haha!" Yuan Lei laughed loudly, deeply convinced of the promise made by Kua's father. Subsequently, Yuan Lei no longer discussed the affairs of the underworld with Kuafu, but really talked about the old, and at the same time discussed some cultivation matters with Kuafu.
"I'll ask my brother to work this matter, and the younger brother will leave, and there will be a period later!" said Yuan Lei goodbye to his father.
"Brother, don't worry, there will be a period later!" replied to Father Kua's stern, and then watched Yuan Lei leave.
After Yuan Lei said goodbye to Kuafu, he did not leave the underworld, but concealed his whereabouts, crossed the three thousand weak waters, and came to the Blood Sea Realm.
In addition to catching up with Kua Father and explaining some things, Yuan Lei actually had a big deal to do, that is, to go to the Sea of Blood and meet with the River Styx.
Yuan Lei quietly followed the boundless scarlet sea and headed towards the depths of the sea of blood, and on the way, he also encountered patrolling Asura soldiers from time to time. In fact, these patrolling Asura soldiers are not very different from the human race in appearance, but they seem to be a little fierce and murderous.
When the Styx created the Zào Asura clan, because of the congenital deficiency and the erosion of the blood sea evil qi, although the appearance of the Asura tribe was no different from the human race, most of them were very abnormal compared to the human race, either with multiple heads, multiple hands, or multiple eyes, but the appearance maintained the appearance of the human race.
Styx originally wanted to use the skill of creating zào to learn from Nuwa to create people and become holy, but due to the lack of congenital deformities, he only gained a lot of merit and did not let him become holy. Later, Styx learned from Lao Tzu and other saints to establish the Asura Sect, but it still fell short, and this time the credit was less than that of the Asura clan. This made Styx disheartened, and he kept cultivating in the sea of blood.
The successive setbacks and failures did not discourage Styx, and later was tempted by the Hongmeng purple qi on Hongyun's body, Styx and Kunpeng hit it off, and the two teamed up to force Hongyun to blow himself up, but in the end it was empty, and Hongmeng purple qi was nowhere to be found. This time Styx's heart was very hurt, and he had to return to the sea of blood and shut himself up, so as not to come to the door and suffer trouble.
There is a continent in the depths of the sea of blood, this continent is not very large, only a few thousand kilometers in size, but it is enough for the Asura clan to multiply. In the depths of the continent, there is a mountain peak of several thousand meters, standing majestically, which is the highest peak in the continent. This mountain is called Blood River Peak, which is the place of the ancestor of the Styx River and the holy place of the Asura clan.
Styx has been hiding in this mountain to cultivate since he forced Red Cloud to death, preaching to his disciples from time to time, and basically staying at home.
After Yuan Lei escaped many prohibitions, he finally came to the Blood River Peak and came to the retreat of the River Styx.
"Ancestor, it's polite!" Yuan Lei stood outside the main hall of the Styx retreat, and said indifferently towards the main hall.
"Hmm!" there was a sound of surprise in the hall, and then a scarlet wind whistled in front of Yuan Lei, and the figure of the Styx Ancestor slowly appeared from it.
In fact, as soon as Yuan Lei stepped into the sea of blood, Styx already knew, but he just wanted to find out what Yuan Lei had to do here, so Styx did not move and waited for Yuan Lei to bring.
Based on the sea of blood, the River Styx has refined 480 million doppelgangers of the blood gods, hidden in the sea of blood, as long as the sea of blood is not destroyed, the River Styx is immortal, this is the hole card of the River Styx. In addition to the River Styx, only Yuan Lei knows about it.
However, Yuan Lei is only one of them, and I don't know the other, I can't imagine that the sea of blood has become the eye of the River Styx, and any living creature can't escape his perception as long as they step into the sea of blood. If Yuan Lei knew this, he would definitely not have gone to great lengths to sneak here, and just explain his intention directly to the River Styx by the Sea of Blood. (To be continued......)
