Old Ancestor Styx realized that his luck was not very good. Ever since he found the World Tree, he had gained nothing over these ten Eons, as if his Fortune had been completely exhausted. Then again, the gains from the World Tree alone were enough to count as five supreme-grade innate Spiritual Treasures. If not for Old Ancestor Styx's decent Fortune, along with the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus suppressing his Fortune, he might not have been able to hold on to such a great opportunity!
Since that was the case, there was no need to think about it any longer. He would simply head straight for Zhou Mountain. Thus, Old Ancestor Styx went all out, rushing toward Zhou Mountain. Several more Eons passed, and a full twenty Eons had gone by since Old Ancestor Styx left the Nether Blood Sea. He finally reached the foot of Zhou Mountain!
Although this was only the foot of Zhou Mountain, the pressure of Great God Pangu was already immense. The moment he entered, Old Ancestor Styx nearly fell flat on the ground! As expected of Great God Pangu. Even after five Tribulations, although the pressure is now less than one hundred-millionth of what it was at its peak, it is still unbearable! Yet the sense of familiarity that came from his bloodline made Old Ancestor Styx want to draw closer. If he did not possess the Pangu bloodline, he likely would not even have been able to approach Zhou Mountain!
After adapting to the environment around Zhou Mountain, Old Ancestor Styx took out spiritual materials and refined a sacrificial altar and an Incense Burner. Their grade was only High-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure, but Old Ancestor Styx had refined them with utmost sincerity. He then took out a large amount of Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Roots and refined them into three sticks of incense. After lighting them, he began worshiping Zhou Mountain with utmost respect, expressing his reverence for Great God Pangu and his gratitude for the grace of having brought forth this Heaven and Earth!
Father God Pangu, you created the world and brought forth all things, yet not one of those things can repay you. Today, Styx of the Blood Sea offers these three sticks of incense with the most reverent gratitude to Father God. From this day forth, I will walk through the Great Wilderness under your glory and protect this world you created!
After saying this, he respectfully kowtowed three times before inserting the incense into the Incense Burner. Once Old Ancestor Styx finished worshiping, Zhou Mountain radiated dazzling light. A wave of joy emanated from Zhou Mountain, and then two streams of light shot directly into Old Ancestor Styx's body. Old Ancestor Styx immediately closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, beginning to meditate!
As the first Living Being to worship Great God Pangu since World Creation, as well as a descendant who carried Great God Pangu's bloodline, Old Ancestor Styx had also promised to properly protect the Great Wilderness. How could Zhou Mountain's joy not be difficult to conceal, and how could it not reward Styx handsomely? When the Mount Buzhou Will saw that although Old Ancestor Styx possessed the Pangu bloodline, his origin was weak, it bestowed Pangu Blood Marrow upon him to help improve his bloodline. It also gave him an additional Heaven-Opening Imprint!
The Pangu Blood Marrow had been transformed from the marrow in Pangu's cervical vertebrae. As everyone knew, bone marrow was responsible for producing blood. With this Pangu Blood Marrow, Old Ancestor Styx's Pangu bloodline would no longer be a source without roots. At the very least, it could be elevated to a level equivalent to that of an Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan!
As for the Heaven-Opening Imprint, there were not many of them in the Great Wilderness. They were probably possessed only by Pangu Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestor Witches. Most of the cultivation methods contained in Pangu Sanqing's Heaven-Opening Imprints concerned the Nascent Soul, namely the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique. The Twelve Ancestor Witches, meanwhile, inherited the cultivation method for the physical body, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
Old Ancestor Styx's imprint contained portions of both, but it was still incomplete. Combined with the inheritance of Great God Pangu in his mind, it could only deduce the Cultivation Method to the fifth layer, allowing one to cultivate to the peak of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal realm! However, it would be even more useful to Old Ancestor Styx in comprehending his own Cultivation Method!
Furthermore, after entering Old Ancestor Styx's body, the Heaven-Opening Imprint fused with that strand of Pangu Axe Light. As a result, it could not only temper his bloodline, but also automatically evolve the first three forms of Pangu Creates the World within itself, allowing Old Ancestor Styx to benefit immensely!
After absorbing all his gains from this encounter, Old Ancestor Styx rose and respectfully knelt to worship Zhou Mountain once more. At the same time, he said, "Thank you for Father God Pangu's gift! I will certainly remember the promise I made today and do my utmost to protect the Great Wilderness you created!"
