Chapter 835 Hongyun is envious, Gu Changqing complains!
The ascension of Styx to sainthood was truly awe-inspiring.
It was so vast that even sages like Tongtian and Nuwa could not fully digest it in a short time.
As for the Old Ancestor Hongyun, he was unable to recover for a long time.
His mind was blank, with only the image of the Styx Ancestor, full of vigor and surrounded by the great power of the saint.
Once upon a time, he and Styx were both among the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace.
As two of the top innate deities in the primordial world, Hongyun was even slightly superior to Styx in terms of origin and background.
After all, he was the first red cloud in the world to attain enlightenment, and his lineage was impeccable.
The Styx River, however, was born from a filthy sea of blood and was born with a certain amount of karma.
But now?
Hundreds of millions of years have passed.
The Styx Daoist who was once at the same level as him, or even inferior to him, has already ascended to the heavens in one step and attained the immortal and indestructible Primordial Saint position!
But Hongyun still lingered at the threshold of the sage's realm.
In fact, if he hadn't received Gu Changqing's protection and joined the Jie Sect, he probably would have already perished and become a speck of dust in the primordial world.
There was no jealousy.
At their level, their minds have been thoroughly refined and perfected.
There was something, but it was an indescribable bitterness and a deep-seated envy.
Become a saint!
What an enormous temptation this is!
That is the ultimate pursuit that all primordial beings have had imprinted deep within their true spirit since the beginning of their existence!
He wanted to too!
Even in my wildest dreams!
But can he travel the Styx River?
Hongyun asked herself bitterly in her heart.
the answer is negative.
The Styx River could abandon everything and plunge into the underground tunnels in search of a glimmer of hope.
But he can't.
His current position is the Vice Leader of the Jie Sect!
This identity gave him a new life and protection, allowing him to survive safely amidst the oppression of saints.
But at the same time, it also firmly bound him to the Jie Sect's war chariot.
He enjoyed the fortune of the Jie Sect, so he had to bear the corresponding consequences.
To make him abandon the Jie Sect and turn to the Underground Sect?
Regardless of whether the Tongtian Sect Leader would agree or not, his own conscience wouldn't allow him to overcome this obstacle.
For a moment, Ancestor Hongyun was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
He looked at the Styx Saint, who was revered by thousands, and then at himself, feeling only uncertainty about the future.
Perhaps, in this lifetime, becoming a near-saint is my final destination...
Just as Hongyun was filled with mixed emotions and deep sorrow.
A swaying figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The strong smell of alcohol instantly pulled him back from his chaotic thoughts.
Hongyun was startled and looked up.
Gu Changqing was carrying the purple-gold gourd, hiccuping from drinking, his hazy, drunken eyes half-open, looking at him with great interest.
"Uh……"
Gu Changqing let out a long hiccup.
His steps were unsteady, as if he were about to collapse drunk at any moment.
But somehow, he managed to stand firm.
Tongtian, Nuwa, Houtu, and even the newly promoted Styx Saint—everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to this.
What is this kid up to now?
The Tongtian Sect Leader felt a sudden, inexplicable unease.
He had a premonition.
An absurd premonition that was both extremely ominous and filled with extreme anticipation.
Every time Gu Changqing displays this demeanor, it seems... something earth-shattering is about to happen!
The best example is that he guided the Styx into the underground passage and has now become a saint!
Could it be that……
An idea that even Tongtian himself found absurd uncontrollably arose from the depths of his heart.
He suddenly looked at Hongyun.
No way? !
The crowd was filled with surprise and doubt, or perhaps with curiosity.
Gu Changqing remained as carefree and oblivious as ever.
He didn't care at all about the expressions and looks of the crowd.
He staggered up to Hongyun, his eyes glazed with drunkenness as he looked at her.
It was as if this one movement had exhausted a great deal of his strength, which showed how drunk he was.
at last.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Changqing's words, tinged with deep intoxication, rang out softly.
"Well….."
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun."
"Could I... borrow a little bit of the source?"
Boom!
These words are no less significant than another saint attaining enlightenment on the spot!
The entire top of the Jie Sect instantly fell into a deathly silence.
You can hear the needle drop!
The Tongtian Sect Leader's expression, which had just relaxed due to the alliance's increased strength, froze instantly.
Nuwa's clear, cold phoenix eyes widened in disbelief.
Even the usually calm and collected Houtu Saint, who seemed to have everything under control, froze for a moment, her faint smile lingering on her lips.
Borrow...borrow the origin?
What kind of tiger and wolf words is this!
What is the origin?
That is the foundation of a primordial, divine being, the manifestation of their Great Dao, and the root of their life!
What difference is there between borrowing from the source and directly demanding life?
Do not!
It's even more serious than taking someone's life!
Even after death and the dissipation of one's spiritual essence, there is still a possibility of reincarnation.
However, if the source is damaged or even taken away, then it is truly doomed and will be completely erased from the root of the primordial world!
This Gu Changqing...
Was he truly drunk, or was he playing a joke that would shock even a saint?
Everyone was a little confused.
As for the person involved, Old Ancestor Hongyun, he was struck dumb as if by lightning.
He stared blankly at Gu Changqing, who was right in front of him and looked completely drunk. His mind went blank, and he had completely lost the ability to think.
Borrow...my origin?
Is he talking to me?
Does he know what the origin is?
Countless chaotic thoughts exploded in Hongyun's mind, almost causing him to faint on the spot.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But he found his throat was incredibly dry and he couldn't utter a single word.
The whole scene was extremely bizarre.
Only the newly appointed Styx Saint, after his initial astonishment, seemed to be deep in thought.
His gaze toward Gu Changqing was not one of shock, but rather one of fervent reverence.
Every action of Fellow Daoist Changqing must have a profound meaning!
He would never speak without reason!
Back then, when he instructed me to take over the Underworld, wasn't that a shocking statement?
But the result?
The result was that he attained the Primordial Dao and ascended to the heavens in one step!
Now, he is borrowing the source from Fellow Daoist Hongyun, which seems absurd, but perhaps it also hides an enormous opportunity!
Upon thinking of this, Styx's gaze toward Red Cloud carried a hint of... envy?
Yes!
I'm so envious!
This emotion threw the Tongtian Sect Leader, who had just come to his senses, into another state of confusion.
What is this?
However, before he could ask any questions...
Gu Changqing seemed to be getting a little impatient.
Seeing that Hongyun hadn't responded for a while, he couldn't help but hiccup again and mumbled something drunk.
"What? Are you being stingy?"
"It's just a bit of innate, immortal spiritual light. I'll borrow it for a bit; it won't eat you."
