According to the records of the Jiang family, after becoming a god, a war broke out between Buddhism and the Asura Sect. The Nether Sea of Blood disappeared, and the ancestor of the Styx also disappeared. The Asura clan even defected to Buddhism.
At that time, there was no sign of the death of the great supernatural being between heaven and earth.
That means that the Ancestor Styx is not dead. Considering the disappearance of the Nether Sea of Blood, it is not difficult to deduce that the Ancestor Styx and the Sea of Blood should have been sealed by the Two Saints of the West. And the location of the seal is probably
This is the source of the River Styx.
Jiang Chen thought as he looked at the drop of dirty blood in front of him.
Immediately, his figure moved and continued to rush forward. Whether it was true or not, he would know when he reached the source of the Styx River.
The closer you get to the source of the Styx, the more dirty blood appears around you. At first, it was just drop by drop, but then it became more and more, turning from a pool into a large area.
Some are even like a river, flowing slowly.
It's a pity that the divinity contained in this dirty blood has been completely wiped out. Otherwise, Ancestor Styx could have escaped with this.
The sea of blood is immortal, and the river of Styx is immortal!
The entire Netherworld Blood Sea has been refined by Ancestor Styx. It can be said that it is his body. As long as a drop of dirty blood can escape, Ancestor Styx can escape from the seal.
However, this seal was placed by a saint. He knew the Ancestor Styx very well and would never make such a low-level mistake and let the Ancestor Styx escape.
After going some distance further, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped.
Because, in front of him, at some point, an old Taoist wearing blood-clothed clothes, carrying two swords on his back, and being tied up with chains suddenly appeared.
Looking down, you can see that the old Taoist is not sitting on the Nine Nether Qi, but sitting cross-legged on a bloody lotus.
There were twelve blood-colored lotuses in total, and the blood all over them was gleaming and oozing with blood. The dirty blood that Jiang Chen saw along the way was flowing out from under the twelve-level lotus platform.
The moment he saw the bloody lotus platform, the ninth-grade green lotus in Jiang Chen's body suddenly trembled violently, showing a joyful emotion, as if he had seen a relative.
As if a blessing came to his soul, in an instant, Jiang Chen knew the origin of this bloody lotus platform, one of the four great innate merit and spiritual treasures, the 12th-grade karma fire red lotus!
Then isn't this old man's identity ready to be revealed?
Lord of the Blood Sea, Ancestor of the Styx!
This is the top magical power in the world. Although he is not a saint, his realm is not far from that of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
Speaking of Patriarch Minghe, he was also a famous figure in the ancient times. In ancient times, when he saw Empress Nuwa creating humans and turning them into saints, he immediately followed her example and created the Asura clan in the sea of blood.
When the Asura clan came out, the ancestor of Minghe did not achieve his wish and became a saint, but he also killed the second corpse and made great progress in cultivation.
After that, the Five Saints established a religion and became a saint. When Patriarch Styx saw it, he became interested again and established the Asura Sect.
Although he still has not become a saint, due to the merits of establishing the religion, his cultivation has taken a step further and he beheaded the third corpse.
Although the creation of the Asura clan and the establishment of the Asura sect did not make Patriarch Styx a saint, they also made him a top-notch supernatural power user, second only to Emperor Jun Taiyi and others.
If the saint hadn't taken action, how many people would be his opponents given the vastness of the world?
…
Jiang Chen did not dare to step forward, but instead took a few steps back, silently observing the Ancestor Styx in front of him from a long distance away.
I don’t know if it was because of being sealed, but in short, the Styx Ancestor in front of him gave Jiang Chen a very strange feeling. He was just like an ordinary old man, with no fluctuations in his body. He was not at all like a great magical person who roamed the ancient world.
Like a mortal old man.
Also, the origin of the chain that locked Ancestor Styx was unknown, and there was no miraculous manifestation, but it suppressed a big man like Ancestor Styx so that he could not move.
Although he couldn't see the magic, Jiang Chen also knew that neither the Ancestor of Styx nor the chain were simple. They didn't have any magic, it was just that their realm was too low to see it.
Looking away from the chain, Jiang Chen looked at the two long swords carried on the back of Ancestor Styx. If he guessed correctly, these two long swords should be the legendary innate killing swords Yuan Tu and
Abi.
These two innate killing swords are both top-quality innate spiritual treasures. They are born according to the way of innate killing. The two swords come out at the same time and are said to be able to kill all living creatures.
Even the four swords of Zhu Xian, taken individually, are not necessarily stronger than these two innate killing swords.
If Jiang Chen's Taichu Divine Sword and Dutian Divine Sword were in peak condition, they might be able to outperform these two innate killing swords, but now, both swords are in a damaged state, so they cannot compare with them.
As for the twelfth-grade fire red lotus of karma under the seat of the ancestor of Minghe, let alone it. It is one of the ten great innate spiritual treasures in the prehistoric times. Its power is second only to the innate treasure. The twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit and virtue is the most sacred treasure of Buddhism.
They are brothers, there is no distinction between them.
According to legend, the Ancestor Minghe also has a top-quality innate spiritual treasure in his hand, the Northern Xuanyuan Water Controlling Flag. This is also one of the top ten innate spiritual treasures in the prehistoric times and has infinite power.
Tsk tsk tsk...
The four top-quality innate spiritual treasures are all companion spiritual treasures of the Ancestor Styx. It is obvious that this person is extraordinary and is loved by heaven.
Jiang Chen estimated that except for Donghuang Taiyi who was born holding the Chaos Bell, other innate saints, including the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, were not as good as the Styx Ancestor in terms of birth treatment.
As soon as he was born, he had four top-notch innate spiritual treasures, which really made people's eyes red with envy.
Jiang Chen was also envious. Ancestor Minghe was truly the second generation. As soon as he was born, he possessed wealth that was unimaginable by the world.
After looking over this place several times and still not finding anything good about it, Jiang Chen secretly said something bad and prepared to leave.
Although the Ancestor Minghe did have a lot of good things on his body, even if Jiang Chen had the guts to do so, he would not dare to go forward and get them.
Even though Ancestor Styx was sealed, even if a big shot like him fell, killing Jiang Chen would be as easy as squeezing a little chicken to death.
He had no intention of dying, and there was no benefit to be gained by staying here. Jiang Chen sighed and was about to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, an old voice suddenly came from his ears: "Little friend, how about Pindao negotiating a deal with you?"
Startled by the sudden voice, Jiang Chen turned around suddenly, looked around and said, "Who, who is talking?"
Having said this, Jiang Chen suddenly seemed to realize something, and his whole body froze there, his forehead suddenly covered with cold sweat.
Here, there are only two people in total.
One is him, and the other is the sealed Ancestor Styx. And he didn’t speak, so the one who spoke is not the Ancestor Styx?
Turning around suddenly, Jiang Chen stared at the figure of Patriarch Styx with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
Wasn't he sealed by the two saints of the West? How can he release his spiritual thoughts?
In the midst of doubts, the old voice echoed in his ears again: "Little friend, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions and have not broken the seal. Otherwise, I will not negotiate a deal with you."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen did not relax. He slowly backed away and asked, "Senior, are you the Ancestor of Styx? If so, you were sealed here by a saint and asked me for help, but you are looking for the wrong person.
"
"I'm just a small Dao Lord, how can I help you unlock the seal?"
Don't get involved in matters related to saints, otherwise you will die without knowing it. Jiang Chen knew this deeply, so he decided that no matter what Patriarch Minghe said, he would not listen.
Wouldn't it offend the Second Saint of the West by letting Ancestor Styx out? How many heads does Jiang Chen have that the Second Saint can chop off?
Seeing Jiang Chen's direct refusal, Ancestor Minghe was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said: "My dear friend, you are so arrogant. You really don't have the ability to break the seal of Pindao now, but you will in the future!"
"I'm not going to lie to you. I see an endless future in you. You are destined to rise and shine in the past and present."
"So, Pindao decided to invest in you and form a good relationship with you. But if you become stronger in the future, with this good relationship, maybe you can help Pindao."
Ancestor Styx spoke directly, and Jiang Chen stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: "Ancestor, I can't afford to offend the Two Saints of the West. If I let you out, I will offend them. This deal, no matter how we do it, is not worth it.
They will all lose money, so I won’t do it.”
Jiang Chen regretted it so much now. If he had known that he would be involved in such a thing, he would never have come to the source of the Styx. It would have been better to just leave at that time, and he would not have encountered such trouble.
Ancestor Styx was surprisingly patient. He was rejected by Jiang Chen again. He was still not angry. He just explained: "The Second Sage of the West is indeed troublesome. It's normal that I can't afford to offend you."
"But little friend, have you ever thought that even if you don't rescue Pindao, you will one day face off against the two of them. So, what should you do?"
"If my little friend is willing to rescue Pindao, you will have a helper when you become an enemy of the Second Saint of the West. Wouldn't it be a lot more convenient?"
Jiang Chen was speechless. How could he confront the Second Saint of the West?
You know, he is about to become a high-ranking member of the Buddhist sect and is the key concern of the Second Sage of the West. They will soon be in the same group. How could they fall out?
However, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
What Ancestor Minghe said is not impossible. Therefore, Jiang Chen thought about it and said: "What Ancestor said is not impossible. We have to guard against it."
"So, I am here to give my ancestor a guarantee. If one day I am really hostile to the Second Saint of the West, I will come here to rescue my ancestor."
"So, what do you think, ancestor?"
Jiang Chen also had his own little calculation. According to what he said, if he did not fall out with the Second Saint of the West, then he would not come to save the ancestor of Styx.
If he really fell out with the Second Sage of the West, even if nothing happened today, Jiang Chen would have found a way to rescue Ancestor Styx. For no other reason than to create trouble for the Second Sage of the West.
The conditions proposed by Jiang Chen would not cause him any loss, but I don't know if Ancestor Minghe would agree to it.
At this time, the smiling voice of Ancestor Minghe came to Jiang Chen's ears: "My little friend, this is really a good plan, but this is exactly the deal that Pindao wants to make with you."
"Pindao concluded that I will definitely face off against the Second Saint of the West in the future, so I agreed to my condition."
Ancestor Styx's tone was very certain, which made Jiang Chen a little confused. What's going on? If Styx Ancestor knew him, how could he be so sure that he would definitely confront the Second Saint of the West?
Even Jiang Chen himself was not so sure.
Confused in his heart, Jiang Chen did not ask, but said tentatively: "The deal has been decided. If nothing happens to the ancestor, I will leave first."
Jiang Chen always felt that something was wrong when he was with Ancestor Styx, so when he saw the deal was concluded, he was ready to run away.
However, he wanted to leave, but Ancestor Minghe didn't want him to leave: "Hey, little friend, don't leave in a hurry. I have already said that if I want to invest in my little friend, I will naturally give you some benefits before I let you leave.
.”
benefit?
Ancestor Styx said he would give him benefits, but Jiang Chen didn't believe it. Ancestor Styx was like this and couldn't even open his eyes, how could he give him benefits?
Give him the twelve-level karma fire red lotus and the two innate killing swords of Yuantu Abi?
Don't be kidding, even if Ancestor Styx really dared to give these three treasures, Jiang Chen wouldn't dare to ask for them. Not to mention, Ancestor Styx, who was sealed by the Second Saint of the West, might not be able to give them to him.
The treasures are given away.
While Jiang Chen was thinking, Ancestor Minghe spoke: "In the current situation of Pindao, even if the treasure is in hand, I cannot give it to my little friend."
"Nowadays, the only thing that Pindao can use is this Xiantian Dao Sutra created by Pindao himself. Please listen carefully, little friend:"
"The way of the Blood God is based on blood and derives all things..."
While talking, Ancestor Minghe passed on to Jiang Chen an innate Taoist scripture called "Blood Nerve".
This Innate Dao Sutra talks about the Tao of Blood, and its main content is to condense the Blood God Son in the body. The so-called Blood God Son is formed by the essence and blood of the body. Each Blood God Son is an incarnation and a life.
If the monk encounters a fatal crisis, he can transfer the damage to the Blood God Son and let him die on his behalf.
The Blood Nerve can be said to be the first-class life-saving technique in the world. At the same time, it is also a rare technique that specifically explains the condensation of the incarnation.
When the blood nerves are refined to perfection, 840 million blood gods can be condensed into the body.
840 million Blood God Sons, that is 840 million lives, 840 million incarnations. It is much more than the condensed incarnations of Jiang Chen's Panhuang Tongtian Yushen Dao Sutra.
However, unlike the Panhuang Tongtian Yushen Dao Sutra, there is almost no possibility of cultivating the Blood Nerve to perfection.
Human energy is limited. One Blood God Son requires the entire body's essence and blood to be exhausted, and 840 million Blood God Sons require the entire body's essence and blood to be drained 840 million times before it can be refined.
So, who can do it?
Even Ancestor Ming He, who created this innate Taoist scripture, couldn't do it. Although he had refined the blood nerves to great perfection and condensed 840 million blood gods, he relied on external forces.
It's not something you get through your own hard work.
Refining the entire blood sea is obviously non-replicable, because there is only one Netherworld Blood Sea.
After carefully looking at the blood nerves, Jiang Chen was sure that he could not refine this innate Taoist sutra. However, this did not mean that this sutra was useless to him.
The next level that Jiang Chen wants to cultivate is to become a flesh-and-blood creature, which means that every drop of blood in his body has spirituality and can be derived into an incarnation.
It is very similar to the Blood God Son recorded in the Blood Nerve. If Jiang Chen could understand the Blood Nerve, it would be extremely beneficial to his practice. Not only would it allow him to quickly reach the realm of flesh and blood creatures, but it would also make this realm,
produce more changes.
After writing down the blood nerves and making sure that there was nothing missing, Jiang Chen thanked Ancestor Minghe: "Thank you, ancestor, for giving me the sutra. This blood nerve is extremely useful to the younger generation, and it has saved me a lot of trouble."
There is a saying that eating people has a short mouth and taking people with short hands. With the benefit of Ancestor Styx, Jiang Chen's tone became more polite.
Ancestor Ming He laughed loudly and said: "As long as it works, once you have refined your blood nerves to the entry level, you can try to visualize the red lotus of karma. Then, you will find the opportunities that Pindao left in the ancient times.
"
At this point, the tone of Patriarch Minghe suddenly became low: "Well, a few years ago, the Karma Red Lotus once produced a lotus seed, and Pindao planted it in a very secret place, intending to wait for it to mature.
, and then let those Asuras rush to find it, it will be a test for them."
"Unexpectedly, not long after the poor Taoist planted the lotus seeds, he was suppressed by the two saints of the West, but he didn't have time to tell Asura about it."
Didn't have time to tell Asura?
This is a good thing. If you tell Asura, these red lotus seeds will have nothing to do with me.
Jiang Chen suddenly became excited when he heard Ancestor Ming He said that the opportunity was the lotus seeds of the Red Lotus of Karma. He had not forgotten that the condition for promotion to the ninth grade Creation Blue Lotus was to continuously devour the seeds related to the Chaos Green Lotus.
of treasures.
The red lotus seeds are such a treasure.
If the ninth-grade Qinglian swallows it, it will definitely be promoted to the top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Even if it is the lowest level, it is still the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which is stronger than the top-grade.
etc……
Thinking of the treasures related to the Chaos Green Lotus, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something. The Buddhist twelfth-grade golden lotus with virtues was swallowed by three petals in one breath by Taoist Mosquito.
The mosquito Taoist is the second creature born in the sea of blood.
The Golden Lotus of the Twelfth Grade Merit is the ultimate spiritual treasure of innate merit. The Mosquito Taoist can suck its petals and perhaps refine it, but it can never be destroyed.
This means that as long as Jiang Chen can catch Taoist Mosquito, he can get the three golden lotus petals that he sucked away from his hand.
If the Ninth Grade Creation Green Lotus swallows this treasure, the benefits it will gain will be much greater than the benefits of swallowing red lotus seeds.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's heart aroused the desire to kill Taoist Mosquito. This man really deserves to die, not because he swallowed the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit, but because he killed one of the four true disciples of Jie Jiao.
Our Lady of Turtle Spirit.
This is Jiang Chen's direct senior sister, so Jiang Chen is naturally obliged to avenge her.
However, there are too many people in the three realms who want to kill Taoist Mosquito, but no one has succeeded. It is not that Taoist Mosquito is too strong, but that he is too good at hiding. To this day, no one has been able to find his traces.
How could the Mosquito Taoist escape from the hands of the Saint if he did not have the first-class ability to escape?
