Hearing that there really was a powerful person who could use the Styx to achieve enlightenment, Mu Yi couldn't help but become more interested. Such secrets in the underworld were not something that Jian Jiu could know, and although he was powerful, he was not even as good as Jian Jiu.
On the other hand, Situ Wenjing, whether he was the previous Holy Son or the current Lord of Yongzhou City, was in a high position of authority and could be regarded as a real high-ranking member of the human race, so he naturally knew far more than Mu Yi, including some
Even the most secret things are known.
"The River Styx is rumored to be the first river in the underworld. It was born with the underworld. In ancient times, there was a great man who became a Taoist with the River Styx and ascended to the throne of the great emperor. He called himself the Ancestor of the Styx River. Unfortunately, he later died.
I know something happened, the Styx River was cut off, and the Styx Ancestor also disappeared, and now he only exists in legends." Situ Wenjing did not hide it, but slowly told Mu Yi the truth.
"Cut off the River Styx? Who can be so capable?" Mu Yi looked at Situ Wenjing in surprise. Although his first reaction was instinctive disbelief, he understood better that in this kind of matter, Situ Wenjing was
It's impossible to deceive him.
In other words, the cutting off of the Styx River is indeed a thing, and the ancestor of the Styx River who became enlightened through this will definitely be severely damaged even if he is not dead. Even if you think more horribly, it will be death, but this guess is too terrible.
Moreover, no one dares to be sure. Even if there is no news about the ancestor of Styx, Situ Wenjing can only describe it as disappearing rather than falling.
This is the power of the Great Emperor. Even if it does not appear for tens of thousands of years, it will still change people's faces. This kind of existence is already at the pinnacle of the underworld.
"I don't know. Maybe only three or two people in the entire underworld know the truth." Situ Wenjing shook his head and said. Although he knew more, there was a limit, such as the secrets about the emperor.
It's not something he can spy on.
"But if you think that the Styx River will not be in great danger if the ancestor of the Styx River disappears, you are totally wrong. Back then, after the ancestor of the Styx River became a Taoist, he also created a new race named Shura.
, the best at fighting. Although the Shura clan has withered away now, the Shura clan is still respected in the Styx. In addition, those powerful dead souls who have condensed their sanity are equally difficult to deal with." Situ Wenjing added.
"Asura?" Mu Yi nodded and accepted Situ Wenjing's kindness. Although he was confident, he would not be careless because of this. After all, the foundation for an emperor's enlightenment could not be simpler no matter how simple it was.
Moreover, the Shura clan had a strong reason for making Situ Wenjing so solemn.
"Thank you City Master Situ for informing me. I'm afraid City Master Situ will need to take more care of you in the next period of time." Mu Yi said directly. Regardless of his familiarity with this place or the place where the Holy Son was tested, he would need to rely on Situ Wenjing's leadership.
turn up.
"It's just each other, but the trial place is still some distance away from here. At our speed, it will take us two days at the fastest to get there. During this period, as long as we don't go deep into the River Styx, the danger is not great." Situ
Wen Jing nodded and said.
Since he dared to lead Mu Yi here, he naturally knew everything clearly. Even though Situ Wenjing was only the city lord of Yongzhou City now, he was the Holy Son of the Temple after all, and he also had his own connections in the Temple.
It's not too difficult to know the details of this year's Holy Son Trial.
After all, even the people in the temple would not have thought that Situ Wenjing would be so bold as to dare to try the Son of God.
Of course, in Situ Wenjing's eyes, his behavior was not considered sabotage, but only provided a more suitable candidate for the human race. If the Holy Son could not even pass the Mu Yi test, he would not be qualified to be the Holy Son.
Hasn’t the Temple always liked to use righteousness to suppress others? Now it’s time for him to pick up this big stick.
If Situ Wenjing was not sure at the beginning, then with the appearance of the shadow and the discovery in the whirlpool passage, he is now full of confidence in Mu Yi. After all, no matter how strong the Holy Son is in each term,
It's just the first three heavens.
Even if he had certain trump cards, he believed that Mu Yi would not let him down.
And if the Holy Son is defeated, it will inevitably greatly damage the majesty of the temple. This is exactly the result he wants to see, which is enough to keep him honest for a period of time. At least before Mu Yi is solved, it is impossible for the other party to give orders.
Three major cities.
As for whether Mu Yi would be suppressed by the temple, Situ Wenjing was not too worried. He and Mu Yi had a relationship of mutual use. Of course, the longer Mu Yi lived, the more beneficial it would be to him, and once Mu Yi
If you succeed in the challenge, you will get the opportunity to meet the human half-saint.
I believe that with Mu Yi's qualifications and his status as a pure human race, the human race half-saint will be moved by this. Maybe it is not impossible to have a named disciple. At that time, even the powerful temple would not dare to target Mu Yi anymore.
easy.
After all, the temple was only built by the eight elders, but the half-saints towered over the temple. They could even be said to be the patron saint of the human race. Even if they lent the temple eight courage, they would not dare to offend the half-saints.
Otherwise, the rise and fall of the temple would be nothing more than a matter of a word from the semi-saint.
However, being accepted as a registered disciple by a Semi-Saint was just a fleeting thought of Situ Wenjing. How high-minded does a Semi-Saint exist? Since the selection of the Holy Son in the temple, although the Semi-Saint has given guidance more than once, it has only
A saint son was accepted as a named disciple by a certain semi-saint.
Afterwards, this holy son left the temple and followed the semi-saints to practice cultivation. For the temple, it is not known whether it was a gain or a loss.
There is no sun or moon above the Styx River. Its existence is more like an independent space. Moreover, a hundred feet above the Styx River, there seems to be an invisible barrier. Even with Mu Yi's strength, he cannot shake it.
Every cent.
Between the barrier and the Styx, gray clouds floated by from time to time. Those clouds were all condensed with extremely yin energy. Occasionally, you could even see some powerful dead souls in the clouds and mist. However, when Mu Yi felt that
After smelling the breath, the group of people fled in panic.
It is true that the dead souls are ferocious, but it also depends on what kind of enemy they encounter. A powerful being like Mu Yi who can destroy countless dead souls with every move he makes. Unless they are stupid, these souls have condensed their sanity and are no less intelligent than the human race.
, how could he deliberately commit suicide?
In the Styx River, there is no place to stay. They can only rely on flying in the air. Mu Yi and Situ Wenjing can hold on, but Shadow will undoubtedly have a much harder time. As for Jian Jiu, although he can fly in the sky with a sword, he can fly in the pseudo sky.
When a person is at his best, he can fly, but this way of flying consumes a lot of energy, so along the way, he doesn't have any extra strength to take action. Any souls without eyes that he encounters will basically be strangled by the shadows.
Mu Yi did not help Jian Jiu during this process. This was also a test for him. If Jian Jiu could not endure this test, he would not be qualified to cross the chasm of heaven and step into the true realm of heaven and man.
, and even less qualified to follow Mu Yi.
After all, in Mu Yi's eyes, the pseudo-celestial being can only be regarded as cannon fodder and is not of much use. Only when he reaches the level of heavenly being can he have some use value.
Although it sounds too naive, it is the reality.
Jian Jiu also understands this truth, so even though he almost couldn't hold on several times in the past two days, he still managed to survive with his own will in the end. At the same time, he also discovered that in just two days, his cultivation level had become even better.
One point, this is definitely something that I would never dare to think about in normal times.
Especially at his level, even a slight improvement is extremely difficult, but now, it only took two days.
Of course, this may also be related to the special environment of the Styx. In addition, he has exhausted his cultivation several times, almost to the point of running out of energy. By relying on his own will to survive, it is equivalent to stimulating his potential and making progress.
, which is understandable.
"Predator."
On this day, just as a group of people were about to reach their destination, a ripple suddenly appeared in the River Styx, and then a living creature emerged from it.
Mu Yi was no stranger to this living creature. He had seen it more than once when he was in the whirlpool passage. It was exactly the little spider-like thing. However, the one he saw now was over one foot in size, and
The shell also changed from white jade to scarlet color, and even still looked crystal clear, like red jade.
Eight legs and sixteen eyes were staring at Mu Yi and his party.
And Situ Wenjing even exclaimed in surprise.
"Predator?"
Although the name is a bit weird, it is not difficult to understand. After all, when Mu Yi saw him before, the other party was preying on dead souls in the passage. Since there are souls in the passage, there are naturally also souls in the River Styx, and they are even more powerful.
"It seems that we are very lucky to encounter a blood jade-level predator." Situ Wenjing glanced at Mu Yi, and then continued without waiting for Mu Yi to ask: "This predator is from the Styx."
The biggest feature is that it specializes in feeding on dead souls. Ordinary predators are all white jade level, and the blood jade predator is the king among predators. It is no less than the celestial beings like us, even with the help of the Styx.
The geographical location will only make it more difficult."
"And this predator is extremely vindictive. Once targeted, it will never end."
"But the good news is that this predator has just been promoted not long ago, and is not too strong yet. Moreover, a blood jade-level predator is full of treasures, which is even more rare to see."
At this point, Situ Wenjing had already explained it very clearly. The reason why he did not say how to deal with it was because he was waiting for Mu Yi to make up his mind. After all, he was just a newly promoted predator.
"This is a rare opportunity. City Lord Situ, don't you mind if my follower practices my skills?" Mu Yi said directly.
"Oh, it's up to fellow Taoist to make the decision." Although Situ Wenjing glanced at Jian Jiu next to him in surprise, he had no objection. In the past two days, he became more familiar with Mu Yi, and his title became Tao.
friend.
Before Mu Yi could continue speaking, Jian Jiu stood up at the side.
(Well, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I’ll continue my New Year greetings, and also thank Sister Shu for crossing the hill, and the anonymous brother’s reward.) (To be continued)
