Chapter 111 Cunning and Scheming
After leaving the Thirty-Three Heavens, Styx parted ways with Zhunti and Jieyin, who returned to Mount Sumeru in the west.
Having endured discrimination and humiliation in the Thirty-Three Heavens, Zhunti and Jieyin showed no difference on their journey back to the West, their expressions remaining unchanged. This was because their mental cultivation was sufficient, and neither of them were the type to show their emotions easily.
Zhunti and Jieyin might not be grateful to the Styx River for helping them, but at this moment, it's impossible for them not to hate the six Heavenly Emperors who ruined their plans and the newly established Heavenly Court.
Until the two returned to the western lands from the east.
Upon entering the West, the scenery is completely different from that of the East. Compared to the East's vibrant life, abundant spiritual energy, and countless outstanding talents, the Western land is lifeless and gloomy.
On the cracked earth, boundless malevolent energy and death energy rose from the cracks in the earth, into the depths that stretched as far as the eye could see, blotting out the sky and the sun.
Zhunti stopped in his tracks.
Zombies kept crawling out of the cracks and then being drawn by the River Styx towards the Netherworld Blood Sea. This scene made Zhunti clench his fists.
Physiologically speaking, Cundi is a great being born from the Bodhi tree and the pure energy. The path he has comprehended is also full of mysteries. At this moment, he should be disgusted by the many zombies on the Western land, by these living dead filled with death energy.
However, from another perspective, these zombies were once Western beings whose souls have long since perished or become vengeful spirits unable to escape their fate. Letting their bodies return to the sea of blood in another form might not be a bad ending.
"Junior brother!?" Jieyin looked behind him at the zombie horde that had stopped and was staring at the same group heading in a certain direction, and assumed that the other party was still resentful about the humiliation he had suffered in the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Or perhaps it was the zombies at his feet that disturbed his mind?
If that's the case—
Behind the guide, golden light shone brightly, overshadowing the sun, and various supernatural powers manifested, making the zombies on the earth feel very uneasy.
Zombies are extremely Yin creatures, and the method that Jieyin comprehended, coupled with his quasi-saint level cultivation, will give him an indescribable suppressive force on the zombie horde beneath his feet.
"Senior brother." Zhunti stopped Jieyin, who was about to make a move.
In fact, the zombie horde at this moment is much smaller than when the path of zombies first appeared. After all, the number of dead creatures buried on the western land is not endless. Only extremely powerful creatures had the opportunity to leave behind a corpse in that great battle.
"I heard that the Corpse Ancestor Ying Gou has already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm," Zhunti suddenly mentioned.
"Senior brother, you should return to Mount Sumeru first." Before Jieyin could reply, Zhunti said, "No matter what happens, senior brother, just focus on your cultivation."
Something happened that neither Styx nor the Three Pure Ones had anticipated.
Although Zhunti is currently only a Quasi-Saint in the One Corpse stage, he is preparing to step down.
In fact, the event that triggered the final battle of the Lich War, the ten suns appearing out of nowhere, was inseparable from Zhunti's planning. But now, Zhunti's fate is clearly much earlier than it was in the original prehistoric world.
Styx clearly understood the Dao Ancestor's meaning, and also clearly understood the future fate of the Heavenly Court.
For the Wu tribe, which has no saints, there is little difference between a Heavenly Court with one saint and one with four saints; both are beings that the Wu tribe cannot deal with or contend with. However, the tragic end of the Demon tribe ultimately revealed one thing.
Having a saint behind you doesn't mean you can stand in the way of the powerful and remain unscathed.
Because the person who ultimately orchestrated everything behind the scenes was Dao Ancestor Hongjun, whose strength was vastly different from the original Six Sages of Heaven.
Will Hongjun watch as the Heavenly Court, which can encompass four sages and all the myriad races of the primordial world except the Wu Clan, is established?
Obviously, that's impossible.
Therefore, the fate of the first Heavenly Court was already obvious.
However, just because Styx knows this doesn't mean that Cundi knows it too.
In Zhunti's eyes, the Heavenly Court at this moment, barring any unforeseen circumstances, represents the future mainstream of the prehistoric world. Through a perfect calculation, the Three Pure Ones finally defeated the Styx River, and won by a landslide. Moreover, this victory will determine the future trend of the prehistoric world and the shift in the balance of power between the Three Pure Ones and the Styx River.
Zhunti didn't understand, but he knew Styx's level clearly. There was only one reason why Styx hadn't killed all six Heavenly Emperors who had betrayed him, and even spared Dijun, who had directly caused his great defeat, and Taiyi, who had already been captured by him.
So, here's the question.
Although the Witch Clan remains the largest existing force and is still thriving without any signs of decline, its defeat in the face of four future saints is already obvious and only a matter of time.
Just a few days ago, the Witch Clan had driven the Demon Clan to the brink of destruction, and the Dao Ancestor had issued a decree ordering the Witch and Demon Clan to cease hostilities and abolish the path of the Immortal Demon Clan. This matter was still fresh in everyone's mind, but the situation had already changed drastically.
So, it seems that there is only one path left for Zhunti and Jieyin: to surrender to the Heavenly Court, kneel before the Three Pure Ones, abandon their so-called dignity and face, and beg for the share of fortune that flows from between their fingers. But Zhunti will not choose that path.
It wasn't that Zhunti was unwilling to part with his money, but rather that he understood that the more fortune the better. And the fortune of the primordial world wasn't even enough for the four sages of the Heavenly Court to share, so how could it possibly be their turn?
It can be said that if the Heavenly Court were to develop to the point where the Four Sages ruled the world, the West would be doomed.
There will never be another so-called Western resurgence!
Therefore, he had to take action!
Meanwhile, after leaving the Thirty-Three Heavens, Styx did not rush back to the Blood Sea.
His first stop was still Mount Buzhou, but this time, instead of the Thirty-Three Heavens at the summit of Mount Buzhou, his target was the Pangu Temple at the foot of Mount Buzhou.
Pushing open the gates of the Pangu Temple, Styx entered the temple in his true form, just like returning home.
-
"Which brother has returned? It's you!"
"How is this possible?!" Di Jiang, who was guarding the Pangu Temple, was shocked to see this. The Pangu Temple was the sacred place of the Wu Clan and the birthplace of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Even a Great Witch could not enter the Pangu Temple without the guidance of the Ancestral Witches, except for the day he took human form.
This place belongs exclusively to the descendants of Pangu, the twelve ancestral witches formed from the twelve drops of Pangu's essence blood.
Dijiang didn't sense the presence of his other brothers and sisters, which means he entered on his own!
That's impossible! The Styx River wasn't formed from Pangu's essence and blood, so how could it be?
Dijiang felt that his worldview had been somewhat impacted.
At this moment, when the Styx River could enter the Pangu Temple, it could be said that the Styx River already possessed the ability to threaten the core of the Wu Clan, the Blood Pool within the Pangu Temple!
