Chapter 43: Challenging the Styx Patriarch
At this time, Mu Ning stepped forward, bowed to Tong Tian and said: "Master, the Chan Sect has caused such trouble. Master, you are also one of the Three Pure Ones. I am afraid that my Jie Sect will not be immune to it.
Now some of my disciples have occupied important positions in the Heavenly Court, and the eldest brother has even established Buddhism. We must first stabilize these positions and then use the power of the Heavenly Court.
This will buy more time for our sect. At the same time, our disciples should keep a low profile, reduce their activities outside, and avoid being contaminated by worldly karma."
Tongtian nodded slightly, "Yes, that makes sense. But those people from the Xianjiao have always been at odds with my Jiejiao, and they will definitely find a way to drag my sect into the catastrophe."
"Junior brother, isn't this a bit too cautious? With the arrival of thousands of immortals from the Jie Sect, I'm worried that he won't be able to succeed in the Chan Sect." The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother said nonchalantly.
"Sister, what Junior Brother said is right. It's better to be careful. After all, it's a catastrophe. That catastrophe not only killed and injured countless people, but also destroyed sects and clans at the worst, and wiped out hundreds of millions of lives at the least."
"Senior Sister Jin Ling is right. Senior Sister, we should be more cautious. The catastrophe is not a joke." Mu Ning was afraid that they would be like this, not caring and then something bad would happen.
"Then what should we do with the three generations of disciples in Yin Shang?" Jin Ling was worried about his disciples and looked at Mu Ning with a frown.
Mu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Third-generation disciples in the Shang Dynasty can keep a low profile for the time being. Observe the movements of the Chan Sect secretly and do not act rashly. If the Chan Sect takes any action against the third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect,
We can prioritize defense and avoid direct confrontation. Meanwhile, we can arrange for some reliable disciples to gather intelligence in Chaoshang so we can stay abreast of the situation.
Senior Sister, don't worry too much. We can protect them with you."
After hearing this, Tongtian glanced at everyone and said, "Ning'er is right. Although we, the Jie Sect, are not afraid of the calamity, we must not act rashly. You all must remember that during the calamity,
The slightest carelessness will lead to eternal damnation. Now that undercurrents are surging in the Chan Sect and the Western Sect, we must unite and overcome the difficulties together."
Everyone obeyed the order, and the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother also restrained her arrogance and secretly decided that her disciples in the Shang Dynasty should be careful and no longer underestimate the catastrophe.
Mu Ning knew very well that in the days to come, Jiejiao would face many challenges, and they had to proceed step by step carefully in order to protect the foundation of Jiejiao in this catastrophe.
After all the disciples had left, Mu Ning sat on the jade bed and said to Tong Tian, "Master, the next time Daozu notifies the saints to go to Zixiao Palace, he will make sure that Jiejiao disciples will face the calamity. Master, are you prepared?"
Tongtian shook his head. He didn't believe that his elder and second brothers would ignore him. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to confront his elder and second brothers.
Mu Ning saw Tongtian shaking his head. He knew what he was thinking, but the Three Pure Ones were destined to confront each other during the Conferred God Tribulation.
"Master, don't worry about that. You should practice first. I want to go to the human world and take a walk."
Tongtian held the person in his arms and gently kissed Mu Ning on the forehead, "Ning'er, be careful outside. Your master will be waiting for you to come back in the Biyou Palace."
"Master, don't worry. No one outside can threaten me."
After Mu Ning said goodbye to Tongtian, he went to the underworld. Tens of thousands of years had passed, and he didn't know how Niang Pingxin was doing or whether all the witch ancestors had returned.
Suddenly, Mu Ning remembered that it had been a while since he had seen Xiao Lingling. "Xiao Lingling, Xiao Lingling... System."
A cold, mechanical voice rang out in Mu Ning's mind: "Do you agree to release system number 04140?"
Mu Ning was stunned for a moment, wondering why 04140 was locked up. Then he suddenly thought of the incident with Hongmeng Meixiang. It seemed like 04041 appeared and locked Xiao Lingling in a small dark room.
"Agree to release system 04140 and lift the restrictions on the small black room."
Zizi... Zizi electric current sounded, [Wow... Host, you finally remembered me, Wuwu... I thought you forgot me, host, I'm telling you. I was bullied by 04041. It kept suppressing me in this way and that, and I couldn't resist, Wuwu...]
"You deserve it. Who told you not to learn your lesson?"
[Host, am I still your beloved Little Lingling? I just want you and Patriarch Tongtian to improve your cultivation as soon as possible. Also, I've detected that a saint will fall during the Conferred God Tribulation, so I'm afraid something bad will happen to you and Patriarch Tongtian.]
04140 I feel so wronged. That Hongmeng Charm Fragrance is so rare. That's because the host doesn't know how good it is. When he finds out in the future, he will definitely thank me, hum~~.
"Okay, you're still feeling wronged, but I don't really blame you."
[Really? That Hongmeng Charm Fragrance is really useful, host, please believe me.]
"Okay, this is over. Let's go to the underworld to find Lady Pingxin and see how the witch ancestors are doing."
[Host, if we want to go to the underworld, we can go to the Sea of Blood first. Host, use the Chaos Wuji Gong to absorb the evil spirits from the Sea of Blood. There are good things there.]
Mu Ning nodded and increased his speed. Soon he arrived above the sea of blood, where he saw the blood churning and murderous aura rising to the sky.
[Ding~ The Hongmeng selection system has been activated. Please make your choice. 1. Challenge the Styx Patriarch and absorb the blood sea evil spirit to be rewarded with 1 God-killing Spear. 2. Refuse to challenge the Styx Patriarch and enter the underworld directly to be rewarded with 12 Dinghai Pearls.]
"Xiao Ling Ling Ling, the God-killing Spear is the one I know about."
[Yes, it's the God-Slaying Spear of the Demon God Rāhu. As for the Dinghai Pearls, there were originally thirty-six of them, twenty-four of which are with Zhao Gongming, and the remaining twelve are now missing.]
Mu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Lingling, I'll choose one."
【Congratulations to the host for making a successful choice. 】
After Mu Ning made his choice, he removed the Chaos Pearl that was shielding him from the dangers of heaven, and appeared above the sea of blood. He used the Chaos Wuji Gong to absorb the evil spirits from the sea of blood.
The evil energy of the entire sea of blood surged towards Mu Ning. The disappearance of the evil energy alarmed the Styx ancestor who was practicing in the depths of the sea of blood.
A flash of blood passed by, and the old man of the Styx appeared. He held the Yuantu and Abi swords in his hands and sneered, "You are Mu Ning from the Jie Sect. Are you trying to challenge me by coming to my blood sea to absorb my evil spirit?"
Mu Ning folded his arms, his expression calm. "It's me. I heard that the blood sea's evil energy is unique and beneficial to my cultivation, so I wanted to give it a try. If the ancestor finds it inappropriate, then we can see for ourselves."
The ancestor of the Styx was choked instantly. The sea of blood was formed by the lochia under the navel of the great god Pangu. It contained blood and evil spirits. No cultivator dared to approach it. Even a saint would not dare to be contaminated by the blood and evil spirits.
He is so good that he even uses the bloody evil energy to practice.
The Styx Patriarch snorted coldly, "What a big tone! Considering that you are a disciple of the Sage Tongtian, leave immediately. If a real fight breaks out, do you think you can get any advantage from me?"
"Then I'll have to fight to the death. Please teach me, Senior Minghe." Mu Ning took out the Kunwu Sword and went to fight against the ancestor of Minghe.
The ancestor of the Styx swung his two swords, and two sharp blood-red rays slashed towards Mu Ning.
Mu Ning activated the Chaos Wuji Gong, and a layer of chaotic light appeared around his body, easily blocking the attack.
He took advantage of the gap in the attack of the Styx Patriarch, flashed his body, rushed forward, and punched the Styx Patriarch in the chest.
The Styx Patriarch dodged sideways and stabbed Mu Ning's throat with his backhanded sword. The two of them fought back and forth, the fight being difficult to resolve.
As the battle continued, Mu Ning absorbed more and more evil energy from the sea of blood, and his strength continued to increase.
As the evil energy in the sea of blood decreases, its influence on the Styx becomes greater and greater.
Mu Ning seized the opportunity and unleashed the power of chaos to suppress the Styx Patriarch.
In the end, Mu Ning used the Thunderous Art, applied the power of thunder and lightning to the Kunwu Sword, and slashed at the Styx Ancestor with one sword.
“Ah——” The ancestor of the Styx screamed and turned into a blood mist and dissipated. The sea of blood surged with flashes of red light.
Minghe was reborn in the depths of the sea of blood. He raised his hand and sent a clone to the top of the sea of blood.
"As long as the sea of blood does not dry up and the Styx does not die, you will never be able to kill me, the ancestor of the Styx, no matter how powerful you are."
