Polishing the Foundation

Styx took stock of his current condition and found that his realm was still far too low. After all, he had originally been nothing more than a mortal. To suddenly arrive on the Primordial Continent, where spiritual energy brimmed in abundance, and still stabilize his Early Earth Immortal realm—he had to thank the fact that the Primordial Continent had yet to face an Inner Demon Tribulation, along with the purity of his own Origin.

If Styx wanted to continue increasing his strength, he would have to work hard to raise his realm. Otherwise, his cultivation would never improve again. As for mana and cultivation, there was no need to worry too much—once his realm rose, they would naturally follow with ease.

Moreover, this was currently the Beginning of Heaven and Earth. Heaven and earth lay beneath the dual pressure of the Great Dao and Pangu; aside from Styx, probably no other living beings were awake. Styx had ample time to temper his realm and solidify his foundation.

After all, in order to refine himself back then, he had removed the Origin that belonged to the other Chaos Demon Gods. Compared to other Innate Demon Gods, Styx's Origin was undoubtedly much weaker.

Under normal circumstances, Styx should have undergone Form Transformation at the End of the Ninth Kala. Yet because his consciousness had awakened early, he had transformed at the End of the Second Kala. Though cultivating in the current environment of heaven and earth was exceedingly difficult, time was abundant, and the dual pressure of Pangu and the Great Dao made this the perfect opportunity to temper himself and make up for the deficiencies in his Origin. If he let it slip away, would he not have come here for nothing?

The Great Dao was said to be impartial. In this era, all Chaos Demon Gods had been stripped by the Great Dao of their memories of cultivation, and even the time of their reincarnation had been delayed. The Chaos Demon Gods would not be able to reincarnate successfully until, at the earliest, the End of the Sixth Kala or the Early Seventh Kala. This period was precisely Styx's golden opportunity for development!

Although the environment of heaven and earth was unsuitable for cultivation, it was ideal for Styx to temper his realm, comprehend his inheritances, and thoroughly integrate those miscellaneous inheritances. During this time, Styx could also raise every realm to the limit permitted by heaven and earth, establishing an immensely solid foundation. Once heaven and earth were unsealed, he would be able to increase his cultivation at the fastest possible rate!

After reflecting on himself, Styx realized that his cultivation would not improve greatly in the short term. He might as well use this time to carefully sort through his insights into cultivation, organize his cultivation experience, and incidentally strengthen his Physical Body.

He had Pangu bloodline, after all. His body could not be too pathetic, could it? Having leapt from a mortal to an Innate Demon God in an instant, there was simply too much Styx needed to learn about cultivation. He had not had the chance before, but now that he did, he had to seize every moment and improve himself...

Time flew, Years flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was the Mid Third Kala. Styx, immersed in his comprehension of his inheritances, gradually awakened as well.

By now, Styx had changed greatly from when he had first undergone Form Transformation. His clear eyes brimmed with the light of wisdom. His realm had risen from barely reaching Early Earth Immortal to Mid Heavenly Immortal. His cultivation had also quietly advanced by a minor realm, reaching Mid Earth Immortal.

Another ten Eons passed. Through Styx's diligent cultivation, he continuously accumulated mana and raised his cultivation. At last, his cultivation reached the limit currently permitted by heaven and earth: Peak Earth Immortal. From then on, no matter how Styx cultivated, his cultivation could not advance even the slightest bit; he could only keep consolidating it.

Thus, Styx no longer dwelled on it. He left behind a wisp of divine sense to continue accumulating mana and solidifying his foundation, while all his other thoughts began researching other matters.

Styx raised a hand and summoned his three Supreme Spiritual Treasures for study. He discovered that every restriction within the treasures was completely open to him. So long as his cultivation was sufficient, he could easily refine the restrictions within and unleash the greatest power his current cultivation could wield. As expected of Companion Spiritual Treasures—they truly suited him best!

Styx did not waste any time. Sitting cross-legged in meditation, he began refining the restrictions within the spiritual treasures. In the blink of an eye, another ten Eons passed. Styx awoke from refinement, and each of his three Companion Spiritual Treasures had now had five restrictions refined. Even his realm had reached Peak Heavenly Immortal through the feedback from his Companion Spiritual Treasures.

In truth, if he had not wanted to carefully experience the restrictions within the spiritual treasures and improve his methods, he could likely have refined the three Companion Spiritual Treasures to this extent in less than one Eon...

The instant Styx awoke, his cultivation began to stir restlessly as well. After sensing it closely, he found that the limit permitted by heaven and earth had risen to Early Heavenly Immortal. So long as Styx wished it, he could break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm at any time. However, he suddenly recalled the Mythical Grand Unity and Grand Unity Dao Fruit Realm mentioned in many novels from his previous life.

He wondered whether the Chaos Demon Gods' memories contained such a concept. Styx carefully searched through the incomplete Demon God Memory within his inheritances, but found nothing. He did not know whether it was because the memories were incomplete or because such a thing truly did not exist.

Still, Styx felt that he could give it a try. After all, his cultivation was still low. Even if something went wrong, he could correct it in time. But if he succeeded, it would add another layer to his foundation for the future.
