Chapter 90 Spending Money to Avoid Disaster
Styx swallowed his teeth and blood, "Of course, the two Heavenly Venerables also have some."
What else can the River Styx do besides pay a fine to avoid disaster?
At that moment, there was no time to choose any items. He simply piled up a massive amount of treasures from his mustard seed space to buy his own life.
"Excellent, excellent, just right to calm our nerves." Tongtian was satisfied with the generous compensation, and even the Styx River no longer seemed so offensive.
Styx barely managed to control his facial expression, lest it be too ferocious and cause these two evil stars to change their minds, which would be extremely bad for him.
“The Blood Sea is the last protection of Father God Pangu. The primordial beings who died unjustly still have a glimmer of hope in this place. It is not a place for you, Styx, to rule and dominate.” Yuanshi looked at the filthy Blood Sea and was even more dissatisfied with Styx. “You must not commit any more murders in the Blood Sea in the future. If I find out, I will not let you off lightly.”
Styx was startled. He knew that devouring remnant souls to cultivate was against the natural order, so he timidly replied, "I dare not, I will never do it again."
Styx was also greedy for the shortcut of devouring remnant souls to cultivate. What in the world is there any truth to the idea that one is truly incompatible with their companion treasure? The Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Blood Sea are perfectly compatible. Although they are incompatible with Styx, they are also mutually supportive. If Styx had honestly cultivated alongside the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, he could have used the spiritual energy of the Blood Sea purified by the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to cultivate, thus walking the glorious righteous path.
What a pity...
"I command you to guard the Karmic Fire Lotus here and await Chang Hao's arrival. If it falls into the hands of others, your life will be forfeited." Yuan Shi made the most of everything; only with the Styx risking its life to protect the Karmic Fire Lotus could he leave in peace.
Watching Yuanshi and Tongtian's departing figures, Styx felt more bitter than bitter herbs. He had no choice at all. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have had any evil intentions when he saw that the newcomers were just nobodies.
"Second Brother, where are you going now?" Having finally come out, Tongtian didn't want to go back right away. Kunlun Mountain... was in a bit of a mess. His second brother had left Kunlun in a hurry after leaving the pass, so he must not have found out yet.
"Return to Kunlun Mountain." Yuanshi had just emerged from seclusion, and his cultivation level was not yet stable.
"Uh... Shall we go find Chang Hao? I'm quite worried about him, I wonder if he's injured." Tongtian's eyes darted around, and he planned to point Yuanshi to the horizon to buy some time. He figured the species he had collected would be able to decide the winner by now.
Speaking of this, Yuan Shi was also worried, but Chang Hao was a powerful cultivator with profound cultivation, and was by no means a fledgling under his wing.
He believed that Chang Hao could protect him; on the contrary, if he could not become a saint as soon as possible, when the real danger came, how could he protect Chang Hao?
The hexagram of Buzhou Mountain was like a sword hanging over Yuanshi's head, making him restless and unable to eat or sleep.
Thinking of this, Yuanshi's determination to become stronger became even stronger, and he immediately decided to head back home. "Your cultivation has not improved for a long time. If you are interested in traveling around the prehistoric world, you may do so. I need to return to Kunlun to consolidate my realm." He also waited for Chang Hao to arrive.
No way?! Tongtian's expression changed slightly. His second brother was going back, so how could he dare to stay outside? He was afraid that if he was even a moment late, all of his collections would be gone.
"Second Brother, it's lonely being alone, but it's lively with others. How about we go for a walk together?" Tongtian made a last-ditch effort.
Yuanshi remained noncommittal, glancing at Tongtian. He only wanted to travel arm in arm with Chang Hao, not with Tongtian; that would be cleaning up a mess.
Yuanshi's resolve to return to the mountain only grew stronger; he could not be swayed by Tongtian's few words.
Ren Tongtian's eloquent words couldn't slow down Yuanshi's pace. On the contrary, Yuanshi suspected that Tongtian had done something bad behind his back and was afraid that he would settle scores later.
Tongtian moved back to Kunlun in a desolate manner, mentally preparing what he should say next.
Looking at the wild beasts crawling all over the mountain, the unidentified soft objects everywhere underfoot, the indescribable and terrifying smell in the air, and the deafening cacophony...
Yuanshi's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, roaring, "Tongtian, what have you done?!"
"Second Brother, spare the beast! Even Eldest Brother didn't say anything!!!"
Although the truth came to light, Tongtian still protected them under pressure. Occasionally, when his appetite was piqued, these unintelligent beasts would become his meal.
"How could you not know that our elder brother didn't just wander off in spirit..." Yuanshi refused to believe that his elder brother had tacitly approved of Tongtian's actions, he would rather die than believe it...
Amidst the bickering between Yuanshi and Tongtian, Chang Hao stepped into the Guixu Land, a forbidden zone in the eyes of many, a place of death and no life.
The Land of Return to Nothingness borders Rahu's Demon Realm. If you accidentally wander into this place and get too close to the Demon Realm, Rahu will not show mercy and let you go. Anyone who accidentally enters will surely die.
Deep within the Demon Realm, Rahu, who was bored out of his mind, twitched his eyebrows and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. The next second, lightning flashed and thunder roared at the border between the Demon Realm and the Ruins of Return, and layers of demonic pressure pressed down, heading straight for Chang Hao.
Chang Hao remained unmoved, observing the layers of heavenly might, certain that the attack could not leave the Demon Realm.
Luo Hou moved swiftly and appeared before Chang Hao. Upon seeing the undeniable battle marks on Chang Hao's body, he smiled knowingly. "A rare guest indeed. It's rare that little Chang Hao would deign to come to the Demon Realm. Judging from your disheveled appearance, could it be that you've changed your mind and wish to come and seek refuge with me?"
Chang Hao glanced at the barren Demon Realm, his disdain obvious. "It's supposed to be a world, how can it be so desolate, a scorched wasteland? How can it be worthy of our attention?"
Luo Hou turned his head and glanced at the pitch-black Demon Realm, speechless. He was a demon who only knew how to plunder; he had no intention of building any Demon Realm.
"Then how should it be renovated?" Luo Hou asked humbly, after all, it was his world.
"Give us some life, and the demon realm will come alive," Chang Hao earnestly suggested.
"Don't even think about it. I would never harm myself," Luo Hou's Dao was filled with savage killing intent. Creating life required cutting flesh and bones, right? He had no interest in emulating Pangu. "Enough nonsense, what are you doing here?"
"It's alright," Chang Hao already knew that his wisp of primordial spirit was not in Luo Hou's hands. He was not disappointed by his wasted trip, but instead breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it did not fall into Luo Hou's hands.
Luo Hou looked Chang Hao over carefully and suddenly laughed, "I knew it, so you lost something and had to come looking for it."
"I'm very curious, who is so capable as to tamper with you?" Luo Hou lay sprawled on the barrier. "Was it, Little Golden Light?"
Chang Hao's eyes flickered. "Think what you want, I'm leaving."
"What's the rush? Hongjun doesn't know yet, does he? Aren't you afraid I'll expose your identity?" During the boring years trapped in the Demon Realm, Luo Hou had long since noticed something was off about Chang Hao. "What did he leave you? Is it worth fighting to the death for him?"
“He left behind the Primordial World, which I like very much. You would never understand,” Chang Hao said frankly.
He really didn't understand, nor did Pangu. Chang Hao had clearly died and vanished before his eyes, so Pangu must have saved him. What was Pangu after?
"Just for the Primordial World?" Luo Hou truly didn't understand. "What's so good about the Primordial World? Is it better than the unbroken Chaos? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Hongjun? He probably doesn't know that yet?"
So you wouldn't understand, Chang Hao's eyes clearly showed this sentence: "Go ahead and report me if you want, nowadays... the more troubles he has, the more relieved he feels."
Luo Hou remained silent, abandoned, discarded, ignored, and banished. Why was he struggling in the Demon Realm while Hongjun was able to be freed and might even attain the Great Dao in the future? He couldn't accept it.
"Since 'I' am no longer in your hands, I won't stay any longer..." Chang Hao planned to slip away; it was best not to have too much contact with this dangerous person.
"Wait, if you're willing to enter the Demon Realm, I guarantee you'll be the actual ruler of the Demon Realm." Rahu quickly made the promise, a man who took pleasure in causing trouble and making things difficult for Hongjun, was truly fed up with the monotonous days of guarding a region alone.
How could Luo Hou be willing to be imprisoned in the Demon Realm forever? Naturally, he racked his brains for a way to escape. Recently, he finally came up with a plan: to have someone with profound cultivation take his place. Even if the replacement time was not long, at least he could go out and cause trouble.
