The Primordial Mosquito Dao Chronicle

As bolts of lightning descended, Lu Er asked, "Master, who is undergoing tribulation in our Blood Sea?"

Mosquito Taoist didn't answer him, but watched as wave after wave of lightning tribulation descended. Two days later, the lightning tribulation had passed, and he led Lu Er into the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Arriving at the place where the Styx Blood Cocoon once stood, they saw a young man in a red robe staring blankly at the sky, perhaps still feeling unwell due to his recent birth.

Styx stood there, and soon saw two people flying towards him. He didn't recognize Lu Er, but he felt a kind of blood affinity with the white-robed Mosquito Daoist, and bowed directly, saying, "Greetings, elder brother."

From the moment he saw the River Styx, Mosquito Daoist felt a connection to it, a feeling that transcended blood ties. From the moment he emerged from his cocoon until now, he had considered many possibilities. While the shared lineage of the Blood Sea was certainly a factor, his greater speculation was that he had absorbed something from the River Styx, leading to the current connection between them.

After a moment's hesitation, Mosquito Taoist asked directly, "Does Second Brother have a name?"

Styx seemed very respectful to him, bowing again and saying, "I have named myself Styx."

As expected, his name was Styx. Since this had happened, Mosquito Taoist stopped thinking about it and decided to treat Styx as a brother, since it wouldn't cost him anything.

"Second brother, you've just been born, and you still have many questions about the prehistoric world. Come, let me give you a proper introduction to the prehistoric continent," he said, pulling Styx towards Xiaoyao Island.

Upon arriving on the island, seeing the dumbfounded expressions on Lu Er and Minghe's faces, Mosquito Taoist's lips curled up slightly.

Looking at the Styx River, he said to Lu Er, "This is your martial uncle. Although he has just been born, he has the cultivation of the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. You should treat him with great respect in the future."

“Disciple Lu Er greets Martial Uncle,” Lu Er bowed and said.

Styx simply hummed in response, as if he cared nothing for anyone except his brother.

After chatting for a while, he said to Styx, "Second brother, when I was born, I discovered that the Netherworld Blood Sea, while allowing our lineage to cultivate extremely quickly, also restricted our growth. Therefore, I crafted this island and set up a protective array around it."

Although your cultivation speed is slow now, your foundation is more solid. Except for a few heaven-defying techniques, you can be invincible among those of the same level. Now, I will pass on the cultivation techniques to you.” After saying this, he pointed a finger at Styx’s brow and passed on the Blood Fiend Scripture, the Blood Fiend Array, and the method of refining the Blood God Child to Styx.

"Besides these three cultivation methods, I have also deduced many other techniques myself. I don't want to limit your development. I will teach you more when you need it. Go and open up a cave dwelling first, and we can talk again after you've settled in." Seeing the puzzled look on Styx's face as he emerged, Mosquito Daoist ignored him and led Lu Er to his cave dwelling. The two sat on a pavilion at the cave entrance.

He had crafted many modern items, including this pavilion, tables, chairs, benches, cups, lamps, and so on. After crafting these items, the Heavenly Dao bestowed some merit upon them, and they all became acquired merit treasures.

He took out the 'Enlightenment Tea' he had found on Mount Buzhou and said while brewing the tea, "Lu Er, now that you are my disciple, I shall pass on to you the methods of cultivation."

After saying that, he pointed at Lu Er's forehead again, passing on all the techniques he had created to him.

After receiving the cultivation technique, Lu Er knelt down and kowtowed several times, saying, "Thank you, Master..."

Mosquito Taoist quickly helped him up, saying, "Alright, I know you've had a hard time before. Just focus on your cultivation from now on. I don't care about these things."

After saying that, he drank his tea and sat there comprehending the cultivation technique.

When Lu Er opened his eyes, he waved his hand, and a pile of spiritual roots and herbs appeared before him, including the innate spiritual root bitter bamboo and the Enlightenment Tea. "Plant all these spiritual herbs in the 'Hundred Herbs Garden'. After that, find a mountain to open a cave. I will go into seclusion first."

Lu Er looked at the pile of spiritual materials in front of him, responded, and immediately beamed with joy. He took them to plant in the Hundred Herb Garden cultivated by Mosquito Taoist.

Mosquito Taoist entered his cave and studied the sword technique "Netherworld Three Styles" that he had created. He modified it, and fortunately, it was easy to modify his own creation. He only took half a month to turn it into a three-style knife technique.

After that, Styx continued to refine the Blood God Child. A hundred years later, he opened his eyes. With the improvement of his cultivation, not only did the refining speed of the Blood God Child increase by more than ten times, but many of his cultivation levels also reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

He glanced around and saw that tens of millions of Blood God Seeds had been refined in this hundred-year period before leaving the cave.

"Second brother, what is it?"

Upon seeing Mosquito Taoist emerge, Styx said, "Brother, the cultivation method you gave me definitely has problems if it's not practiced on Xiaoyao Island."

"You came all this way just to say this?" Mosquito Taoist looked at him with a puzzled expression. Hadn't he already said this before?

Unexpectedly, Styx waved his hand and took out a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, "Big brother, look at this."

"The Northern True Martial Black Carved Banner, where did you get it?" Mosquito Daoist asked in surprise. This is one of the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth, capable of obscuring the sun, moon, and stars, concealing the secrets of heaven, causing all evil to retreat, and impervious to all magic. Along with the Central Earthy Yellow Banner, the Eastern Azure Lotus Banner, the Southern Earthly Flame Banner, and the Western Plain Cloud Banner, they are all transformed from the five lotus leaves of the Chaos Azure Lotus, and are top-grade innate defensive spiritual treasures.

"I just returned from my training in the Primordial Continent, and this flag flew towards me as soon as I entered the Blood Sea," Styx said, unable to hide his excitement. No wonder, it was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Mosquito Taoist was surprised by Styx's good fortune, with a spiritual treasure automatically flying to him to recognize its master. He also understood why Styx had left so soon after its birth. He seemed to have forgotten to give Styx a spiritual treasure; he had taken all three spiritual treasures himself, including Lu Er, without even giving him a gift for becoming a disciple.

"Second brother, let's use this flag to set up the Blood Sea's formation. Although few people in our Blood Sea can spy on us, with this treasure that conceals the secrets of heaven as the core of the formation, we won't even have to worry about saints in the future." After saying that, he directly took out the three companion treasures from back then. "Keep the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus for self-defense!"

"Thank you, Brother Xie. Then I won't stand on ceremony." Styx accepted the gift with a smile, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing that Styx accepted it, and that he didn't seem reluctant to part with the True Martial Black Carved Banner, and that he even brought it out to show him after finding the spiritual treasure, Mosquito Daoist felt Styx's trust at that moment.

"Alright, go ahead and do your work. Lu Er is coming over soon, and you, as his senior uncle, haven't even given him a gift. You'd better get a magical treasure as soon as possible," Mosquito Daoist said with a smile.

Styx felt a rare moment of embarrassment and, without lingering any longer, returned directly to his cave.

After thinking for a moment, Mosquito Taoist took out the spiritual materials and, based on his memories from his previous life, spent half a day refining a set of Monkey King armor.

He took out a communication talisman and sent a message to Lu Er. A moment later, Lu Er arrived and called out, "Master!"

"Lu Er, you have been my disciple for a hundred years. Today, I will give you some magical treasures for self-defense." After saying that, he waved out four treasures.
