Chapter 61
Chapter 61: Styx establishes a religion, learn from a great way!
Nuwa’s testimony and sanctification left the prehistoric heavens in awe, particularly Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others, who found themselves wiping their foreheads in disbelief. Before this, in terms of talent and cultivation, they had surpassed Nuwa, as they were all Taoist disciples of Purple Heaven Palace, expected to be the first to attain enlightenment and holiness. However, Nuwa had taken the lead, becoming the Primordial Unity, which left them disappointed and unwilling to be outdone by a female counterpart.
Nevertheless, Nuwa’s sanctification was undeniable, as the power of Hunyuan radiated across the heavens and the prehistoric world, making even the great masters like Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti bow slightly in respect and amazement. Simultaneously, Hongjun in Purple Heaven Palace sensed something. He opened his eyes, smiled, and directed his gaze toward Nuwa. Her attainment of the way and sanctification had already merged her primordial spirit with the chaos of the way, enhancing the harmony of heaven’s law and the prosperity of the prehistoric world. Moreover, it accelerated Hongjun’s path to enlightenment, making him even stronger compared to before. In his eyes, the order of sanctification didn’t matter – any of his disciples’ enlightenment would contribute to harmony.
However, another astonishing event unfolded in the prehistoric world. A resounding voice echoed from the vast sea of blood, declaring, “Today, I, Minghe, sensing the emergence of the human race, intend to guide and enlighten them. Therefore, I established a new faith called the Ming Teachings—’Look to the Tao… and Learn from It!'” Standing tall and proud, a blood-colored figure announced this solemnly to the world. The divine voice resonated throughout the prehistoric world, causing awe and admiration among countless powerful monks, who felt an unusual sensation in their eardrums.
“…”
In the vast wilderness, there was a momentary hush. All the prehistoric creatures, including countless supernatural beings, were left dumbfounded.
“Styx? What’s he doing here, trying to get in on the action?”
“Styx, of all people, starting the Ming sect to educate humans? Is he joking?”
“Hahaha, this guy must be jealous of Nuwa proving the Tao!”
Many creatures couldn’t help but laugh, regarding Styx Lijiao’s actions as a big joke and ridiculing him. However, the laughter abruptly stopped. As Styx’s voice echoed, the heavens quaked, winds and clouds roared, and the entire multiverse quivered as if the chaos from beyond the way of heaven itself surged, sweeping across the universe. Golden clouds filled with boundless merit and virtue poured continuously from the chaotic void into the prehistoric world, like a torrential cascade, sweeping through the heavens.
The millions of prehistoric creatures who had mocked Styx moments ago were in shock, their expressions transformed. They were left utterly speechless. They had never fathomed that the Tao would acknowledge Styx’s oath!
In the following moment, Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, Kunpeng, and other top powers of the past displayed horrified expressions, their minds reeling. Their disbelief was palpable. But above the sea of blood, the auspicious clouds of endless merit and virtue converged, casting a dazzling golden light that illuminated the boundless blood sea world, creating a magnificent golden road that was no less impressive than Nuwa’s creation of humanity or her attainment of the Tao and sanctification.
“I shall use the twelve-grade karma fire red lotus, the blood sea seal, and two top-grade innate spiritual treasures to control Mingjiao’s destiny… Mingjiao, rise!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Styx declared, and the heavens and the universe trembled. His words resonated far and wide. As the vast merits and virtues descended and were absorbed, Styx’s realm suddenly broke through to the first level of Primordial Unity. Another Primordial Unity Saint had emerged in the prehistoric world, alongside Nuwa, all in a single day.
This day marked an extraordinary and destined moment in history. After attaining Hunyuan, Styx’s Tao consciousness became crystal clear. He could perceive the universe’s past, present, and future with a single thought. He finally understood why Ye Xiu had foreseen the arrival of the age of saints.
