Chapter Thirty-Seven: Xi Kunlun Joins the Jie Sect, Styx Creates the Asura
The Jie Sect opened its doors to accept disciples, and the Queen Mother of the West, who had once been appointed by Hongjun as the head of all female immortals, also came. Since the death of the Eastern King Duke, the Queen Mother of the West had been living in constant fear, afraid that one day the demon race would remember her and kill her. When she learned that Tongtian had opened his doors, she rushed from Xikunlun to Jin'ao Island. After much pleading, she finally got Tongtian to agree to let her serve as a guest elder of the Jie Sect.
"Senior brother, now that I have become a guest elder of the Jie Sect, I have a group of female immortals in Xikunlun who are with me day and night. In the past, with my protection, they were able to live peacefully in Xikunlun. In the future, I will be stationed on Jin'ao Island. I am really worried about leaving them in Xikunlun. I wonder if you could be so merciful as to accept them into the Jie Sect?" west Wangmu said to Tongtian.
Back in Zixiao Palace, the Queen Mother of the West and the King Duke of the East were simultaneously appointed by Hongjun as the head of all female immortals and the head of all male immortals in the world. With his ambition growing, the King Duke of the East established the power of Zifu Continent, intending to command the prehistoric world. Although the Queen Mother of the West was not as high-profile as the King Duke of the East, her reputation was still there, so she also attracted a large number of female immortals to come and join her. In the future, the Queen Mother of the West would have to reside on Jin'ao Island, and these female immortals would be a very big burden. However, the Queen Mother of the West saw that Tongtian had recruited several thousand disciples, while Xikunlun only had a few hundred female immortals, so she thought that Tongtian could accept them.
However, Tongtian was in a dilemma. Although he had taken in many disciples, they were all carefully selected by him. He had never met the female immortals of Xikunlun, and he didn't know their character. He was really worried about them.
"Don't worry, senior brother. I have lived in Xikunlun for a long time, and I have carefully selected the female immortals who come to seek refuge. Although their talents vary, their character is excellent and they will never tarnish your reputation or that of the Jie Sect." west Wangmu had obviously seen through Tongtian's doubts and took the initiative to explain.
Hearing west Wangmu say this, Tongtian felt much relieved. After all, he knew west Wangmu quite well, and a great supernatural being like Xi Wangmu wouldn't speak carelessly. So he nodded and said, "Very well, since they are all my junior sister's disciples, let them come to Jin'ao Island. However, I don't want to take on any more disciples for the time being, so I'll have to trouble them to be ordinary disciples of the Jie Sect and continue their cultivation under my junior sister's tutelage."
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother!" west Wangmu said with a smile when she saw that Tongtian had agreed. Although he was just an ordinary disciple of the Jie Sect, such a status was already a great fortune for a cultivator with low aptitude and cultivation.
Soon, upon receiving a message from the Queen Mother of the West, a group of female immortals from the Western Kunlun Mountains arrived at Jin'ao Island, led by the Queen Mother's disciple, Jiutian Xuannv, and the Western Kunlun divine beast, Lu Wu. Seeing this group of beautiful women, Tongtian was momentarily at a loss and had no choice but to ask Kong Xuan to settle them in. However, these female immortals were not without merit. For example, Jiutian Xuannv, the Queen Mother of the West's disciple, was the first Xuan Bird to take human form in the world. Her background was only slightly inferior to that of Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, the two sons of the phoenix, and her cultivation had reached the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
What surprised Tongtian the most was the Western Kunlun divine beast Lu Wu, who actually possessed the cultivation level of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. This significantly enhanced the strength of the Jie Sect. It should be noted that among the various sects at present, apart from the sages, most of their disciples were Golden Immortals, and many were even Mysterious Immortals. Taiyi Golden Immortals were extremely rare. Only the Chan Sect's vice leader, Randeng, possessed the cultivation level of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. Now that the Jie Sect had absorbed the Western Kunlun, in addition to its leader, who was a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Jie Sect also had the Queen Mother of the West, a Quasi-Sage at the early stage, plus Lu Wu, a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. Among their direct disciples, Kong Xuan and Jin Peng were both late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortals. The Jie Sect's strength could be said to have overwhelmed all the Xuanmen sects.
However, Tongtian did not appoint a first disciple too early, unlike the other sects of Xuanmen. Among his disciples, Tongtian was most satisfied with Kong Xuan. However, Kong Xuan was born into the Phoenix Clan and carried the karmic burden of the Phoenix Clan. If he were to be appointed as the first disciple of the Jie Sect rashly, it would definitely affect the Jie Sect's fortune. The Jie Sect did not have a spiritual treasure that could suppress its fortune, so it could not afford any problems. Therefore, Tongtian had no choice but to wait until he met Xuan Chu to see if Xuan Chu could eliminate the karmic burden for Kong Xuan and Jin Peng.
With the Queen Mother of the West by his side, Tongtian simply handed over the entire Jie Sect to her to manage, allowing himself some leisure time. However, Tongtian did not forget about Kong Xuan and Jinpeng, and went to the Pangu Palace for this purpose. Unfortunately, he did not find Xuan Chu. However, after hearing from the Twelve Ancestral Witches that Xuan Chu had broken through to the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian realm in seclusion, Tongtian was very excited. He knew better than anyone what the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian realm was. Once Xuan Chu reached the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian realm, even the Heavenly Dao would not dare to easily provoke Xuan Chu. At that time, his Pangu lineage could truly rest easy.
After the saints accepted disciples, the prehistoric world once again ushered in a temporary period of peace, but the Styx River, which was in the Blood Sea, did something big.
It turns out that the Styx River saw that Nuwa created humans and became a saint, and that Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti established their own religions and became saints, so it wanted to follow suit.
Styx used the Blood Sea's origin to attract the wandering souls of fallen cultivators to the Blood Sea. He then used these wandering souls to create a new race, naming it the Asura Clan. The appearances of the Asura Clan's men and women were extremely polarized; the women were alluring and beautiful, while the men were incredibly ugly. However, the Asura Clan did not have the ability to reproduce, so they could only rely on Styx to continuously attract wandering souls to create new Asura Clan members. Styx called himself the patriarch of the Asura Clan, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed merit upon him, but unfortunately, it was less than one ten-thousandth of the merit of Nuwa's creation of humans. Even so, Styx successfully broke through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.
After creating the Asura race, Styx established the Asura Cult based on the Asura race, and educated the Asura race. Heaven also bestowed merit upon Styx, and Styx successfully severed his second corpse with the merit, becoming a late-stage Quasi-Saint. However, to everyone's great disappointment, the merit Styx gained from creating the Asura race and establishing the Asura Cult could not make him a Saint. For a time, Styx became a laughing stock in the entire prehistoric world, ridiculed for his poor imitation.
Only true masters of great power know that the reason Styx did not become a saint was not because he did not have enough merit, but because he did not have the Primordial Purple Qi. If Styx had the Primordial Purple Qi, he would definitely have become a saint. But even so, with Styx's strength at the late stage of Quasi-Saint, plus the three innate spiritual treasures in his hands, he can be called invincible below the saint level.
However, Styx's actions made these top prehistoric beings realize that without the Primordial Purple Qi, no matter how hard they tried, they could not become saints. Although the battle in the East Sea made everyone in the prehistoric world aware that Heavenly Saints were inferior to Primordial Golden Immortals, no one knew how to cultivate to become a Primordial Golden Immortal. Therefore, becoming a saint was still their first choice. However, all the Primordial Purple Qi in the prehistoric world had been distributed by Hongjun, with five of them creating five Heavenly Saints. Although Tongtian had turned against the Xuanmen, his strength was unparalleled in the prehistoric world, so there was no need to think about the Primordial Purple Qi in Tongtian's hands. It seemed that only Hongyun still had a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi. Therefore, all the ambitious and capable cultivators in the prehistoric world who wanted to compete for the Primordial Purple Qi turned their attention to Hongyun.
