Chapter 145 Please, Your Majesties, issue an edict of self-reproach.
The Purple Cloud Seal was activated, and in an instant, the world changed, the stars shifted, and under the influence of some power that transcended everything, Styx arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace. Accompanying him to the Purple Cloud Palace were the six Heavenly Emperors, three Great Emperors, and two Heavenly Empresses of the Heavenly Court.
Haotian and Yaochi immediately discovered that Styx had arrived at Zixiao Palace through the Zixiao Talisman. They were puzzled and worried when they saw Styx raise his hand and throw the eleven Quasi-Saints in his palm into Zixiao Palace.
Haotian and Yaochi were both immediately delighted.
Previously, they were both puzzled by Styx's intentions and worried about him. The reason was simple: they knew the hatred between the powerful figures in the Heavenly Court, namely the disciples of the Lord, and Styx.
They also knew that the powerful beings of Heaven were setting up a terrifying killing formation called the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation".
They had been worried that the Heavenly Court would use the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array to deal with Styx. Now that Styx had suddenly arrived at Zi Xiao Palace, their first reaction was that something was wrong and the Heavenly Court had made a move against Fellow Daoist Styx.
But the next moment, judging from Styx's methods, did he win?
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Styx." Haotian, Yaochi, and Styx exchanged greetings, and Styx didn't forget to return the greeting.
"Fellow Daoists Haotian and Yaochi, how have you been?" Styx looked at Haotian and Yaochi and exchanged polite greetings with them.
"Hmph!" Yuanshi snorted coldly and smiled disdainfully. To address the boy as a fellow Daoist, this Styx River is really something else.
"These are just a few spiritual fruits. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality." Yaochi presented a jade plate with several peach-shaped spiritual fruits on it. The fruits were brimming with spiritual energy and had purple patterns on them, making them clearly rare spiritual fruits.
Haotian and Yaochi knew that with Styx's cultivation level, he was certainly not lacking in spiritual fruits, but at this moment, in front of the Heavenly Court's Quasi-Saints, they naturally had to treat Styx well.
Weren't you supposed to be powerful? Weren't you supposed to be scolding us? Why don't you show your former majesty in Zixiao Palace?
Elsewhere, it's beyond their jurisdiction. Within the Purple Cloud Palace, who gets to eat the spiritual fruits is within their authority. As for those who don't—
All the powerful beings present were quasi-saints. Even during the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, they were all powerful beings who did not enter the Great Tribulation and were not subject to the Three Calamities. But this action was their support for the Styx River!
Yuanshi's expression changed slightly. In terms of status, they were disciples of the Dao Ancestor, direct disciples, and were even higher than the nominal disciples Zhunti and Jieyin. In terms of seniority, Haotian and Yaochi were only equivalent to their disciples.
At this moment, seeing that Haotian and Yaochi completely ignored them, Yuanshi felt slightly annoyed.
But at this moment, Styx had the upper hand, and even if they were unhappy, there was nothing they could do.
"Styx, what is the meaning of this?"
"Are you deliberately humiliating us?" Tongtian roared, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Zixiao Palace.
Yuanshi looked at the Styx River, equally puzzled by its motives.
The Dao Ancestor has already attained the Dao, so what is the deeper meaning behind Styx bringing them to Zixiao Palace?
Yuan Shi did not believe that Styx would let them off so easily. This time, they had set up the Zhou Tian Star Formation, intending to extinguish the life force of the Blood Sea even if they could not kill Styx. Now that they had suffered a great defeat, Styx would definitely not let them off lightly.
"Of course I am not trying to humiliate you fellow Daoists, but you have abused your public power for private gain, acted maliciously, and relied on the Zhou Tian Star Array to indiscriminately kill innocent people. This is truly an insult to your experience of listening to the Dao in Zi Xiao Palace."
The Dao Ancestor possessed the virtue of cherishing life, spreading the Dao throughout the primordial era, and later sacrificed himself to unite with the Dao, which can be described as selfless. However, you fellow Daoists, in the name of justice, have engaged in factionalism and suppression of dissent, which is absolutely contrary to the teachings of the Dao Ancestor.
"Therefore, I have invited you all to Zixiao Palace today to reflect on yourselves." Styx looked at the Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Court before him and said with a smile.
"Damn it, damn it, how dare you insult me like this?" Upon hearing this, Di Jun's divine eye formed a phantom of the Great Sun Golden Crow, with the true fire of the sun burning fiercely.
Yuanshi, Fuxi, and others glared angrily at the Styx River. Even this usually inactive figure trembled with rage, his beard quivering and he let out a soft breath.
He couldn't help but be angry. At this moment, Styx didn't exploit them to the bone or make things difficult for them. Compared to enemies, he treated them more like an elder, educating them.
To disregard them at this moment is the greatest contempt and disdain they can show.
How could they possibly tolerate this?
They were all listening to the Dao in Zixiao Palace, and they addressed each other as peers and fellow Daoists. Such behavior was undoubtedly a great insult.
At this moment, if the Styx had subjected them to all sorts of harassment and exploitation, the powerful beings of the Heavenly Court might have been in a better mood, because that would have only trampled on their bodies. But now, the Styx was trampling on their dignity and self-respect.
Only Nuwa showed no anger on her face, but rather a thoughtful expression.
This deep reflection stems from consideration of his own duty to govern the world, and even more so from his fear of the Styx's cunning and shrewdness after analyzing its actions countless times.
The Styx rarely does anything futile.
"Styx, you, you—" Yuanshi looked at Styx before him. He was already quite arrogant, and now he was suffering such a humiliating disgrace. How could he bear it?
"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Styx asked Yuanshi with a puzzled look.
"Fellow Daoist Styx is mighty!" Yaochi secretly transmitted her voice to Haotian.
"Yes." Haotian responded to Styx telepathically. They were aware of the cultivation levels of the Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Court, and they could also imagine the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array. But at this moment, Styx had the upper hand and initiative in front of the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court. They didn't need to deduce what kind of battle had taken place. At the same time, Haotian and Yaochi had a new understanding of Styx's strength.
After all, they haven't even severed their three corpses yet, and are still at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Styx knew perfectly well that if he went any further, the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao would probably take action to show him what it meant to be "unchangeable". But at this moment, his actions were quite appropriate.
Suppress their momentum, embarrass them, and dampen their spirits—that will suffice.
"Minghe, we were also listening to the Dao with you in Zixiao Palace, you—" Fuxi was about to speak, but was quickly interrupted by Minghe.
"By the way, countless lives have been lost in this great battle, all due to the fault of you fellow Daoists. I urge you all to issue a decree of self-reproach, to proclaim it throughout the prehistoric world, and to give an explanation to the dead." Styx looked at the group of Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Court before him and continued.
"Absurd!" Yuanshi roared in fury. Those beings were all killed by the Styx River, yet now they were being blamed. What kind of logic was this?
If they were to act in this way, they would lose all face, and the dignity of the entire Heavenly Court would never be able to be restored!
