Chapter 65: Xuan Chu Accepts Minghe as a Disciple
After learning the truth about the method of severing the three corpses from Xuan Chu, Minghe felt utterly desperate. He hadn't used a spiritual treasure of the same origin to sever his three corpses, which meant he would never have the chance to reunite them. Without reunion, his future was ruined. Thinking of this, Minghe quickly kowtowed to Xuan Chu. He knew that since Xuan Chu had sent him to the Pangu Palace, there must be a way to save him. Not to mention, Tongtian had advanced to Quasi-Saint earlier than him and had returned to the right path, so he could definitely do it too.
"Rise!" Xuan Chu said, "I saw that you are a talented person and could not bear to let your talents go to waste. That is why I sent you to the Pangu Palace. Now that you are here, it means that your life is not meant to end. Styx, are you willing to become my disciple?"
Since Minghe was not a descendant of Pangu, he could not address Xuan Chu as his uncle. Therefore, in order to bind Minghe to his side, Xuan Chu had no choice but to take Minghe as his disciple and establish the master-disciple relationship.
"Minghe is willing to pay respects to Master!" How could Minghe refuse when he heard that Xuan Chu was willing to take him as a disciple? The person in front of him was an existence on par with Hongjun. As long as he could become a disciple of Xuan Chu, he would truly be able to associate with the saints of the heavens.
"Alright, Styx, but I am not Hongjun, so I don't have any spiritual treasures to give you, nor do I have any Primordial Purple Qi. I hope you won't take offense," Xuan Chu said with a smile.
"This disciple dares not, Master is joking. This disciple once went astray, and now that Master is willing to bring this disciple back to the right path, this disciple is already extremely grateful, how could I dare to say anything more?" Styx said. Styx was not lacking in spiritual treasures. Three top-grade innate spiritual treasures were enough for Styx to roam freely in the prehistoric world. As for the Primordial Purple Qi, Styx had long given up any hope. Now he only hoped that Xuan Chu could help him get out of the dead end of the method of severing the three corpses.
Xuan Chu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Although there are no spiritual treasures or Primordial Purple Qi, I still have something to bestow upon you." After saying that, Xuan Chu sent a stream of light into the Styx River's body.
"Teacher, what's going on?" Minghe asked Xuanchu, puzzled.
Xuan Chu said, "To become a Primordial Golden Immortal, one must cultivate a Great Dao Law. Once the Great Dao Law is cultivated to perfection, success will come naturally. You were born in a sea of blood and have the killing treasures Yuan Tu and Abi by your side. The most suitable one for you is the Law of Slaughter. What I just injected into your body was the Law Origin of the Slaughter Demon God, one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods of the past. It can help you comprehend the Law of Slaughter as soon as possible."
Back when he and Pangu slaughtered three thousand Chaos Demons, Xuan Chu took the opportunity to collect a lot of the origin of the Great Dao Laws. The Destruction Law origin he gave to Tongtian came from this source. Although it was incomplete, it was enough for a cultivator to embark on the path of the Laws. However, there were too few cultivators in the Primordial World with the potential to become a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, so Xuan Chu had no choice but to let this gem remain hidden.
"Thank you, teacher!" Upon hearing that Xuan Chu had given him the origin of the Law of Slaughter, Minghe was extremely excited. This was something even more precious than a supreme innate treasure. With this origin of the Law of Slaughter, he could avoid many detours.
"Having the origin of the Law of Slaughter is not enough. Next, we need to reintegrate the three corpses you severed into your body to make your origin complete. Only then will you have a chance to cultivate into a Primordial Golden Immortal," Xuan Chu said. Styx had already severed all three corpses, and his situation was even more troublesome than Tongtian's. Back then, Tongtian had only severed one corpse and was still able to advance to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Styx was different. With all three corpses severed, his origin was already less than 50%, which was not enough to support Styx's advancement to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Therefore, the only option was to let the three corpses return to his body.
"I hope you can lend me a hand, Master," Styx pleaded with Xuan Chu.
Xuan Chu nodded and said, "Don't worry, with me here, everything is fine. Summon your Three Corpse Dharma Body."
"Yes!" Styx responded, and then summoned three avatars that looked exactly like Styx.
"Retract!" As soon as Styx's three corpse avatars appeared, Xuan Chu waved his hand and took away the three avatars. Then, he used the Law of Quantity to return the three corpse avatars to their original state and condense them into a ball of primordial essence, which he then injected into Styx's body.
With the return of his origin, Styx's cultivation level continued to decline, eventually dropping to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Although his cultivation level had decreased, the integrity of his origin made Styx feel as if he had returned to his original self.
"Minghe, you will stay in the Pangu Palace from now on. Try to master the Law of Slaughter as soon as possible and advance to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm," Xuan Chu said.
"Yes, disciple will obey Master's command." Styx replied, with Xuan Chu's guidance, it was naturally the best thing.
Then Styx took out the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and said to Tongtian, "Master, Styx has obtained what he wanted. As promised, I will lend this Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to you. It is not too late to return it when the karmic consequences are eliminated."
Tongtian accepted the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and said with a smile, "Thank you, Junior Brother Styx. Junior Brother, you can go to your uncle's sect yourself. From now on, let's still address each other as fellow disciples. Calling me Sect Leader is too formal."
"Yes, Senior Brother Tongtian." Tongtian's easygoing nature made Minghe feel very comfortable.
"Uncle, now that Tongtian has received the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, we should not delay and return to Jin'ao Island to eliminate the karmic burdens on Kong Xuan and Jinpeng." Having achieved his goal, Tongtian was eager to return to Jin'ao Island; he had waited far too long for this day.
"Go ahead. After Kong Xuan and Jin Peng's karmic debts are cleared, bring them to the Pangu Palace. I am very interested in them and would like to meet them." Xuan Chu knew that Tong Tian was anxious, so he did not try to stop him. He simply asked Tong Tian to bring Kong Xuan and Jin Peng to the Pangu Palace to meet him after Kong Xuan and Jin Peng's karmic debts were cleared. Xuan Chu especially wanted to see what kind of demeanor this future number one person below the sage was.
"Yes, Kong Xuan and the others will be very happy if they know that Uncle is willing to see them," Tongtian said.
After Tongtian left, Xuan Chu began to guide Minghe in cultivating the origin of the Law of Slaughter. Although Xuan Chu did not specialize in the Law of Slaughter, Pangu's Law of Power and Xuan Chu's Law of Quantity were the general principles of the Three Thousand Laws, and there was nothing they did not know.
"Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, come to the Shangqing Hall to see your master immediately!" As soon as he returned to Jin'ao Island, Tongtian couldn't wait to summon Kong Xuan and Jin Peng.
"Second brother, Master summons us. We must go to Shangqing Hall immediately." Kong Xuan, who was cultivating, suddenly heard Tongtian's message and stopped. He called out to Jin Peng beside him, and the two headed towards Shangqing Hall.
"Disciples pay respects to Master!" Inside the Shangqing Hall, Kong Xuan and Jin Peng bowed to Tongtian.
"No need for formalities!" Tongtian waved his hand and said, "Has your cultivation made any progress these days?"
Kong Xuan shook his head, looking dejected, and said, "No, I always feel that there is a mysterious force suppressing my cultivation level. Although I have tried my best, I still cannot break through. I have disappointed you, Master."
"Alas, just as I thought!" Tongtian sighed, thinking to himself. Kong Xuan and Jin Peng were not of low birth. As sons of the phoenix, they were born at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and should have stood out from the crowd. However, due to the burden of karma, their cultivation had been stuck at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and they had not made any progress since birth. Meanwhile, their direct disciples, such as Duobao, Jinling, Guiling, Wudang, and Yunxiao, had cultivation levels ranging from the late stage to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Even inner disciples like Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao had reached the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. This made Kong Xuan and Jin Peng feel inferior among their fellow disciples. Fortunately, the Jie Sect was very harmonious, and no one looked down on Kong Xuan and Jin Peng because of this.
