Chapter 13 Immortal Way
[Congratulations, host! You have slightly gathered some of Pangu's fortune, taking a solid small step on the path to reviving the true name of Pangu. The completion rate of the first main quest has slightly increased.]
[Reward: Hongmeng Measuring Ruler]
Styx: ?
All of this happened so fast that the powerful beings involved had no time to react. Then, Hongjun began to preach, not giving the powerful beings a chance to continue arguing.
"My great path is called the 'Immortal Path'."
"This sermon is to help you understand your own realm and magical power, up to the Great Luo Path..." After saying this, Hongjun began his sermon with the Heavenly Mandate in his mouth.
In an instant, countless strange phenomena appeared within the Purple Cloud Palace. The Three Thousand Great Daos were manifested by Hongjun with the power of a sage and manifested together among a group of great beings.
At the same time, it also used its great magical power to condense golden lotuses of magical power, which hung down from Zixiao Palace to help the powerful beings organize their magical power.
Seeing this, Styx also began to listen to the teachings.
In the lecture at Zixiao Palace, Hongjun passed down the cultivation system he created, which divided the prehistoric world into different levels of cultivation realms. At the same time, he presented the three thousand Great Daos to all the great powers in the form of the Immortal Dao system.
Regardless of whether the method of severing the three corpses transmitted in the second sermon can lead to sainthood, the first sermon alone was a mutually beneficial process for both Hongjun and the three thousand guests of Zixiao who listened to it.
After accepting the complete system of the Immortal Path, all the powerful beings will gain tremendous benefits. Their understanding of the Great Dao and their cultivation of their own magical power will be greatly enhanced. At the same time, after accepting the Immortal Path, all the powerful beings will also greatly strengthen the fortune of the Immortal Path.
Even Styx, after obtaining the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation and the inheritance of the remnant body of the Chaos Demon God from the system, and with the Dao of Reincarnation, Sword, and Slaughter all pointing directly to his current realm, could still benefit from the lectures and improve himself.
Of course, Styx did not completely adopt a "take what you can get" approach; it absorbed what suited it and dealt with what did not.
In Hongjun's immortal system, the realm after the Great Luo Golden Immortal is Quasi-Saint. However, in the entire prehistoric world, no one can achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm of Hunyuan by purely severing the three corpses. This makes it impossible for Styx to fully devote himself to the immortal path with peace of mind.
At the same time, for some reason, Styx felt that as he accepted the path of immortality, something that was preventing him from breaking through was gradually weakening. Styx guessed that this might be because Hongjun, as the current representative of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, and the Immortal Path, as the mainstream of the future of the Primordial World, received preferential treatment.
Time passed second by second.
The three thousand guests of Zixiao were all immersed in the Great Dao spoken by the Dao Ancestor.
One after another, golden lotuses of magical power fell, greatly saving the three thousand powerful cultivators time in organizing their own magical power. Among them, Styx, who also cultivated the Great Dao of Food, benefited greatly from the methods of the Great Dao of Food, absorbing a large number of golden lotuses of magical power.
As Hongjun's teachings on the Great Dao became increasingly profound, many powerful beings found that problems that had puzzled them for years were easily solved, bottlenecks that had troubled them for countless years seemed to be easily broken, and the Great Dao, which they had once thought had no end, now had the possibility of extension.
Some powerful beings can still maintain their composure, but others, in their ecstasy, display a myriad of postures, whether crying or laughing, appearing almost insane.
The innate demon gods were born in pursuit of the Dao, and the Great Dao was the only goal that all the great beings sought.
Finally, the three thousand-year period came to an end, the sermon concluded, and Hongjun stopped preaching, causing all the powerful beings to reluctantly withdraw from their state of enlightenment.
"The three thousand years of preaching have ended, and the Great Luo Way has been fully imparted to you."
"Do you still have any questions?" Hongjun asked calmly, looking at the group of powerful figures before him.
"The Dao Ancestor is merciful and selflessly imparts his teachings to us. Such compassion, mercy, and impartiality are unprecedented and unparalleled. Could the Dao Ancestor possibly allow us to remain in the Zixiao Palace and serve by his side?!" While the powerful figures were still immersed in the Dao Ancestor's sermon, a sudden voice rang out again, causing them to grit their teeth.
Who is it this time?
So you'd rather not show off that you're going to die?
Oh... it's the River Styx again!
Haotian: Serving the Dao Ancestor? Styx, I'm here?
Seize the opportunity to show your loyalty; you might as well do so, since Hongjun is unlikely to keep any powerful beings in Zixiao Palace anyway.
"Minghe, I appreciate your intentions. You have great potential, you cannot linger here." Hongjun looked at Minghe, a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.
"The Styx River's loyalty is commendable," Hongjun thought to himself.
Although he had his own calculations in this sermon, it was still good to gain genuine loyalty.
Because of the Heaven-Covering Pearl, Hongjun did not detect anything particularly unusual. After his return, he looked at the Styx River and then at the powerful figures in the Purple Cloud Palace. The difference was immediately apparent; they did not have the same kind of affection as the Styx River.
"I hereby report to the Dao Ancestor: I was born in the most evil place in the Blood Sea and have gone through countless tribulations. I have never seen such a benevolent and loving act as the Dao Ancestor."
Although I cannot stay by the side of the Dao Ancestor for long, I wish to build a temple for him in the Netherworld Blood Sea for worship. For the rest of my life, I wish to dedicate myself to promoting the Dao and passing on the Dao Ancestor's benevolent heart of teaching all living beings. I wonder if the Ancestor would grant my request?" Styx looked at Hongjun above the auspicious clouds of the heavens and continued to bow and pay his respects.
"Hmph!" Yuanshi remained silent. Why wasn't Styx claiming to be a descendant of Pangu now?
Such sycophants are utterly detestable. When he recruits disciples in the future, he will definitely choose those with high moral character and excellent connections.
Zhunti and Jieyin were dumbfounded. At first, they didn't react, but after they did, their expressions changed, and they secretly marveled at their achievement.
Styx's methods are brilliant. What opportunity could possibly surpass the sage's favor?
Hongjun, however, had much more to think about.
Although Styx's words were full of flattery, Hongjun paid more attention to the two instances of "usurpation" in Styx's words. First, Styx referred to himself as a "disciple," which Hongjun was not qualified to do.
Second, Styx said that he wanted to promote the immortal path. Could this be considered asking him for a favor?
The task given by the sage is not just a task; it also means unimaginable power!
Was Hongjun overthinking things, or...?
"It's good that you have this intention, but you must not refer to yourself as my 'disciple' now." Hongjun looked at the Styx River in front of him and sighed softly.
"Thank you, Sage." Styx silently retreated back into the crowd.
"Indeed, the sage still prefers those of noble character." Yuanshi thought to himself as he saw Hongjun reject Styx's claim of being a disciple. At the same time, he made up his mind to go back and discuss this matter with his elder brother and younger brother, so that they would not follow Styx's old path.
