After receiving the orders from the Styx Ancestor, everyone headed outside.
“Indra, you don’t need to go. Just stay here and practice with me.”
Just as Hu Le was about to leave with the others, he was suddenly stopped by the Styx Ancestor.
His fellow disciples immediately cast envious glances at him, while Hu Le himself secretly groaned in despair.
He had hoped to take this opportunity to escape back to the prehistoric world, but now that plan has completely fallen through.
However, since the Styx Ancestor had already given the order, he had no choice but to comply.
The Styx Ancestor pointed his finger, and a red lotus fell in front of Hu Le.
Hu Le stepped onto the lotus platform and sat down cross-legged.
The Styx Ancestor then spoke, "Indra, do you know why I didn't let you go with me?"
Indra shook his head: "This disciple does not know, and hopes that the teacher will explain."
"Hmph! It's all because your cultivation is insufficient. If you really encounter that little thief, let alone capture him, you should be thanking your own God if you can save your own life."
Hu Le nodded in deep agreement.
you do not say!
When Indra met me, I subdued him in a single encounter...
"From now on, you must cultivate diligently and not slack off..."
The Styx Ancestor reprimanded Hu Le a few more times before beginning to explain the Qi Refining Method in the Blood Scripture to him.
This scripture is indeed worthy of being personally written by the Styx Ancestor, as it contains his understanding of the Great Dao of Blood, the Innate Killing Dao, and the Demonic Dao.
It is the culmination of his life's work, and is truly full of endless mysteries.
Hu Le originally thought he had a thorough understanding of the Qi Refining Techniques recorded in the Blood Scripture.
However, after Styx Ancestor's almost incisive explanation, he realized that he had indeed been somewhat arrogant and shallow before.
He had seriously underestimated the Great Dao personally opened up by a great supernatural being like the Styx Ancestor...
Hu Le sat upright on the lotus platform. As the Styx Ancestor explained, he began to circulate the magical power and primordial spirit of his avatar, absorbing the spiritual energy in the hall.
It must be said that while demonic practices are indeed evil, cultivating them is fraught with danger.
However, once the knack is mastered, one can advance rapidly and skillfully, and the speed of cultivation is unmatched by any other method, whether it be the great esoteric arts or the cultivation methods of the divine race...
As time slowly passed, Hu Le's avatar hidden in the acupoint made rapid progress in cultivation. In just a few days, it had already begun to condense the three flowers on its top.
Even Hu Le himself was shocked by this terrifying speed of cultivation.
What he didn't see was that after sensing the change in his aura, a strange light flashed in Styx's eyes...
It must be said that the demonic path does have some merit, which explains why so many people in later generations abandoned the orthodox Xuanmen (Taoist) sect and switched to the demonic path.
While the cultivation of demonic arts may be somewhat dangerous, it does not require the same emphasis on aptitude, physical constitution, and temperament as the Xuanmen or Buddhist schools.
The demonic path doesn't have as many rules as the other two paths. As long as you're strong enough, it doesn't matter if you cause harm to living beings or even betray your master and ancestors.
Most importantly, the cultivation speed of the demonic path far surpasses that of the other paths. If a cultivator develops a desire for quick success and instant benefits, it is not so strange that they would switch from the Xuan and Buddhist paths to the demonic path...
At this point, Hu Le had already confirmed it.
Based on this single scroll of Blood Nerve, it's no wonder that Styx Ancestor was called the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by later generations.
Unfortunately, at this time, the primordial world was ruled by the gods, with various innate deities suppressing the universe. Even the Xuanmen lineage had not yet flourished, and Buddhism and Taoism were nowhere to be seen, so naturally the demonic path had nothing to do with it...
Now, the times are against them. No matter how exquisite the Blood Slaughtering Demonic Path created by the Styx Ancestor may be, it can only obediently hide in the sea of blood and reign supreme...
After Dafantian and the others returned in twos and threes, Hu Le's avatar had stabilized at the thirty-second level of Qi Refining, not much different from his original self.
Once all the disciples had arrived, the Styx Ancestor stopped preaching, and his expression turned gloomy.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash..."
The Styx Ancestor pointed at them and berated them, leaving everyone looking ashamed and embarrassed. They then looked at Hu Le with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Indra is really lucky.
Not only do they not have to go out and search for people, but they also don't have to get scolded along with them...
After thoroughly berating everyone, the Styx Ancestor finally stopped and ordered them to leave.
Hu Le returned to his Dao Palace and waited for some time. As the wedding of Bo Xun and Wu Mo approached, the entire Shura Palace was bustling with preparations for their wedding, and the matter of him gradually faded away.
He knew the time had come to leave.
So, after silently divining for a while and receiving a very auspicious result, he used the excuse of finding gifts for the two newlyweds to leave the Asura Palace and enter the Blood Sea.
In an instant, he felt that the sea ahead was wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly, and he was extremely happy.
However, not long after he emerged from the sea of blood, someone suddenly called out loudly from behind him.
"Senior brother! Please wait!"
Hu Le turned around and saw that the one who called him was the Red Lotus Boy under the command of the Styx Ancestor.
When the boy came up to him, he asked with some curiosity, "Boy, why are you following me here instead of serving your teacher?"
Red Lotus Boy laughed and said, "Senior Brother, I have come to find you on the orders of the Ancestor."
"oh?"
Hu Le's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he asked, "Why did the teacher order you to find me?"
The boy didn't keep them in suspense any longer and took out a lotus seed from his sleeve.
This lotus seed exudes a strange fragrance, and its entire body is surrounded by a ball of karmic fire, with a lively innate spiritual energy constantly pulsating along with the burning karmic fire.
Hu Le could see clearly that the lotus seeds must have been grown from the twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
Hu Le reached out and took the lotus seeds, somewhat puzzled.
The Styx Ancestor ordered his attendant to chase after the Blood Sea, just to bring him this one lotus seed?
What exactly is going on here?
He asked hesitantly, "Is there anything else you need, teacher?"
The boy recalled for a moment and said, "The ancestor only told you to take good care of yourself after returning to the prehistoric world, and not to forget the kindness of passing on the Dao for a hundred days."
Hu Le was relieved upon hearing this; it was clear that the Styx Ancestor had discovered his identity.
What he couldn't understand was why the old man didn't expose him.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out the Styx Ancestor's scheme.
However, he quickly realized that no matter what the Styx Ancestor wanted to do, he had at least gained his freedom.
As for the future, it's nothing more than dealing with whatever comes our way.
Hu Le smiled slightly at the boy, his figure blurred, and a ray of light flashed by. He had already dispelled his transformation ability and returned to his original appearance.
Seeing the boy retreat in horror, he smiled and reassured him, "Don't be afraid, boy, I won't take your life."
Then he released Indra, who had been suppressed inside the Hunyuan Cauldron, and said indifferently, "So, you're useless now too!"
Having said that, before the other person could react, he suddenly reached out his right hand, his index finger already touching the other's forehead...
