A playful journey through the Dharma-Extinguishing Kingdom (I)
Meanwhile, Ao Tu checked the rewards.
The Ten Ultimate Arrays - Heavenly Annihilation Formation - is now of little use to Ao Tu. If he wanted to set it up, he could easily do so with a similar Formation.
For example, he could set up a Blood Sea Formation, where the master of the formation could remain immortal within it...
Ao Tu accepted the Heavenly Annihilation Formation Diagram, intending to use it as a reward for his subordinates later.
The Supernatural Ability of the Supernatural Ability Celebration Cloud Golden Lamp is Daoism supernatural power. Auspicious Celebration Cloud appear above the head, the size of an acre of field, emitting five-colored rays of light. Golden Lamp and square cups fall down in droplets, like water dripping continuously from an eave. Nothing can harm it.
This Supernatural Ability could be used to impersonate Daoism disciple and obstruct the Journey to the West.
Ao Tu initially thought the Four Fiends' Flesh and Blood was just a piece of flesh and blood, but it turned out to be a mass of flesh and blood with mixed auras. It seemed to contain all Four Fiends, which could be used for Alchemy and Artifact Refining in the future.
As for rewarding his subordinate Demon, Ao Tu estimated that few Demon could withstand the bloodline of the Ancient Times Four Fiends. Six-Eared Macaque might be able to withstand it, but Six-Eared Macaque himself had a high origin, so there was no need to use such mixed bloodlines.
The Twelve-Rank Karmic Fire Red Lotus Root is truly a treasure.
Although it's only a small section, far smaller than the previous Fifth-Grade Black Lotus root, its quality is completely different.
Ao Tu had previously asked Minghe, who was known for his stinginess. He had held the Twelve-Rank Karmic Fire Red Lotus for a long time, but had never taken a single Lotus Seeds, let alone cultivated lotus roots.
Moreover, cultivating lotus roots using Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform will inevitably damage the Origin of the Lotus Throne, and it will take tens of thousands of yuan to recover.
It is clear that this lotus root was not cultivated in the Minghe.
There could be no one else besides Ao Tu's Self Corpse style of behavior.
Ao Tu couldn't help but smile and accepted the treasure.
If Minghe were to find out, he would surely be furious but helpless. Ao Tu is an honest man and could not bear to see him like that, so he did not let him know.
The Creation Mother Qi is the Origin Creation Qi within the Chaos. It was not created by Nuwa to Creation the Human Race, but Creation the Great God Pangu.
Its rarity and value are self-evident.
It was only the size of a thumb, and from a distance it looked like a blue bead. Ao Tu estimated that even if he died, eating this thing would allow him to be Creation.
It's worth mentioning that as soon as the Third-Grade Green Lotus saw this thing, it immediately flew over and circled around Ao Tu, trying to beg for food.
If you feed this to Third-Grade Green Lotus, it might grow to Eleventh Grade, if not Ninth Grade, right?
However, Ao Tu directly pushed the Third-Grade Green Lotus away. He wanted to keep this treasure as a trump card; how could he possibly use it to feed Third-Grade Green Lotus? That would be a waste.
After reviewing the rewards, Ao Tu carefully put away all the treasures, and then summoned Youlai Youqu.
Youlai Youqu knelt down and said, "Grandmaster, what are your orders for summoning me here?"
Ao Tu said, "Go and summon the Minghe."
Youlai Youqu, it then returned to the Netherworld Realm, arriving at the Sea of the Blood Sea.
In terms of position, Youlai Youqu is not of high rank. However, in terms of seniority, he is Ao Tu's grand-disciple, much like the White Crane Boy beside Yuanshi Tianzun, so it is not inappropriate for him to summon the Minghe.
Upon Youlai Youqu at the Blood Sea Hall, he explained his purpose and met Minghe, saying, "Vice Sect Leader of Minghe, our Grandmaster invites you."
The Patriarch Styx asked, "What brings you here?"
Youlai Youqu said, "Our Grandmaster has not spoken."
The Patriarch Styx said "I understand," and then was about to sit on the Lotus Throne to leave. But when he waved his hand, he realized that the Lotus Throne and the sword were gone. In the end, he could only tell his subordinate Asura to take an old robe that hadn't been worn for who knows how many eons. He put it on and left the Blood Sea, arriving in the human world.
After a short while, they arrived at the Bottomless Cave. The Patriarch Styx looked up at the sun and moon, paused for a moment, and then walked forward.
Ao Tu opened the door and saw this scene. He laughed and said:
"It must have been a long time since the Vice Sect Leader has seen the sun, moon, Stars."
The Patriarch Styx chuckled and said, "What's so interesting about a sun and moon that are obscured?"
Ao Tu led him inside, saying, "This is merely the world of this Cave Heaven; we'll go out later and witness the true nature of humanity."
The Patriarch Styx said, "What's so interesting about the cycle of birth and death in this world? Why did you summon me here?"
Ao Tu instructed his men to set out tea and fruit, inviting Minghe to eat. Minghe refused. Ao Tu, meanwhile, drank his tea, picked up a crisp date, and ate it, saying:
"Please come and discuss the matter of establishing a religion."
The Patriarch Styx became more serious and asked, "Are you ready to establish a sect?"
Ao Tu said, "No."
Minghe, "So you want to recruit followers first?"
Ao Tu said, "No."
Minghe, "So, do you intend to establish a training ground? Or compile a religious text?"
Ao Tu said, "No."
Minghe, "Then what do you want from me?"
Ao Tu said, "I didn't prepare anything. It was just a sudden whim. I decided to go out for a walk and think about things as I go."
Minghe retorted angrily, "You've made no preparations, why are you leaving? Aren't you just playing with me!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Tu said, "What? I'm the Cult Leader, and you won't listen to me?"
Patriarch Styx was so angry that he pointed at Ao Tu, but he had no choice but to snort coldly and reluctantly agree.
Ao Tu smiled and offered him some dates, but he refused.
Ao Tu laughed at him for not recognizing the dates.
Having lived in the Blood Sea for Minghe long, Styx didn't recognize it at all. However, he was determined and searched through the River of Time, clearly explaining the variety and origin of the jujube.
Ao Tu laughed and said, "Great! My Vice Sect Leader is good at picking dates. If the sect declines and runs out of money in the future, he can pick dates to make money!"
The Patriarch Styx found it amusing and did not laugh with Ao Tu.
Ao Tu didn't mind and let him stay in the Bottomless Cave for one night. The next morning, the two of them went out.
The Patriarch Styx has never changed.
Ao Tu admonished him, saying, "You should dress more simply. Look at your clothes; they're not from the mortal world. Won't that make people see through your disguise?"
So the Patriarch Styx made a change, dressing himself in clothes similar to Ao Tu's, both looking like merchants.
The two then rose into the Auspicious Clouds.
Even the Patriarch Styx, observing this world, couldn't help but feel bewildered.
He hasn't Blood Sea in a long time.
The last time I came out, the outside world wasn't like this.
Ao Tu called his name twice, and the Patriarch Styx finally came to his senses. The two of them flew forward together.
The Patriarch Styx asked, "Where to?"
Ao Tu said, "Just follow."
They hadn't walked far when they saw Tang Sanzang and his disciples hurrying along the ground.
As always, Wukong led the way, Bajie carried the load, and Sha Wujing led the horse. The four of them, master and disciples, hurried Western Heaven step by step.
Ao Tu laughed and said, "Look."
The Patriarch Styx asked, "What are you looking at?"
Ao Tu said, "Let's think of a way to stop Tang Sanzang and his disciples."
The Patriarch Styx said, "What's there to think about? They're just a few juniors. I'll just capture them and teach them a lesson they can't escape."
Ao Tu looked up and sneered, "What do you know? Tathagata Monk will send the Taoist Jieyin to beat you. You'll be beaten half to death, and I, as the Cult Leader, will have no choice but to come to your rescue. There's no other way but to lie and say that you are my Mount, that you escaped to the mortal world while the boy was asleep, and committed this sin. I'll then apologize to them and give them money before I can get you out. Otherwise, ha, you'll either die or be taken to Spirit Mountain to become a monk."
Upon hearing this, the Patriarch Styx was filled with shame and anger, and said, "Then what do you suggest?"
Ao Tu said, "Let's go ahead and take a look first."
The two then continued walking forward.
