Chapter 47: Nüwa Repairs the Sky

  "Not good!"

  Six saints thirty-three days away exclaimed in unison!

  Mount Buzhou was transformed from Pangu's spine, playing a role in supporting the heavens and the earth. Now it has been struck by Gonggong, causing the waters of the nine skies to pour down, almost instantly flooding the entire Primordial Continent. If this continues, there will be no more Primordial Continent.

  The six saints did not delay any longer, and in unison, they flashed out of the Jade Emperor's palace.

  Throughout the vast expanse of the universe, countless lives perished in this calamity, and only a few powerful gods with high cultivation were barely able to avoid the Nine Heavens' turbulent waters.

  Yun Zhongzi, who was tens of thousands of miles away from Mount Buzhou, saw it collapse from afar.

  "Bang!"

  A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out in his heart, Yun Zhongzi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that his Dao heart was transparent and pure white. In just this instant, he somehow gained a hint of enlightenment about the Great Dao.

  Yun Zhongzi only then remembered what had happened to him when he first saw Mount Buzhou, and after thinking about it for a moment, he understood.

  At first, I was shocked and terrified by the collapse of Mount Buzhou, my Dao heart was clouded with dust. Now that Mount Buzhou has fallen, my Dao heart is relieved, and thus my enlightenment to the Great Way has accelerated. Although I feel a sense of relief in my heart, there isn't much joy or excitement.

  Because the entire Honghuang is now suffering from a great calamity, Yun Zhongzi is not a heartless person. As a modern man, he would feel distressed in his heart even if it were only dozens or hundreds of people who died, let alone the countless lives lost throughout Honghuang.

  Having spent so many years in the Desolate Era, I had seen the first great war of the demon race, with countless deaths and injuries. Later, I saw numerous souls being cast into the six paths of reincarnation. And then there was the previous battle between the witches and demons. My heart had already become somewhat accustomed to such massive casualties in the Desolate Era, to the point where it could even be said that I had become numb. Therefore, during the battle between the witches and demons, Yun Zhongzi did not appear particularly sorrowful.

  But now the entire Honghuang is in disaster, and the number of billions is not enough to cover the number of lives in the entire Honghuang. Compared with the Earth where he lived in his previous life, Honghuang has countless times more lives. Therefore, seeing such a scene of extinction now, his face turned pale, and his body trembled.

  Although Yun Zhongzi's cultivation is now approaching that of a quasi-sage, it is really difficult for one person's concept to change, and he still cannot treat the lives of all living beings as trivially as other great gods.

  At this time, Yun Zhongzi was somewhat worried about the human race far away in Shouyang Mountain. However, considering that the human race now has Zhuang Yuanzi, Xuan Du and Duo Bao to protect them, there should be no problem. As for Jin Ao Island and Wu Xing Island, it's not difficult at all to resist these nine heavenly turbulent waters.

  Without lingering too long, he flashed out of sight, unfolded his form and flew towards Mount Buzhou.

  At this time, the You and Xiang tribes of Mount Buzhou were heavily damaged. The You tribe had only Gonggong Zushi, who was seriously injured, while the Xiang tribe had only Xingtian, Xiangliu, Jiufeng and a few others left, all of whom were on their last legs. The rest of the Xiang tribe's people were almost completely wiped out, with only tens of thousands remaining.

  Before the great war, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people from our tribe gathered together, and with a collective sigh, they lamented in low, anguished tones, "Our tribe has been abandoned by Heaven!"

  Xing Tian and the others heard this, none of them didn't shed tears. The majestic Wu tribe that once dominated the vast expanse, now its people only had this much left, what's the point of even talking about ruling over the vast continent? Not to mention the countless deaths and injuries among these small witches, even the ancestral witch only had Gonggong, who was also severely injured, it was unknown when he would recover. All Wu tribe members knew that their era had come to an end.

  The Wu tribe suffered heavy casualties, but some people like Xing Tian Da Wu were still left. The demon clan was even more miserable. The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and the Eastern Huang Tai Yi both died in this battle, their souls annihilated, without even a chance to enter reincarnation. Fu Xi also died miserably, although he left behind a wisp of true spirit, but these small demons didn't know that. As for Kun Peng, the demon clan would never consider him as one of them again, a deserter who fled in battle was not worthy of their respect. Moreover, the demon clan respected only the strong, and Kun Peng's performance was no different from a weakling.

  The top ten demon saints only have Bai Ze and Fei Lian left, of course, there are also some other big demons, such as Taotie, Bi Fang, etc.

  Although the two tribes have fallen to this point, their battle is not over yet. Therefore, on Mount Buzhou, Xingtian led the Wu tribe and the demon tribe led by Bai Ze confronted each other. The people of both tribes glared at each other with anger, as if they wanted to swallow each other whole. Looking at the situation, the two tribes are about to go to war again.

  Yun Zhongzi rushed to Bu Zhou Mountain and saw this scene, he was speechless. Both tribes were in such a state, yet they still wanted to engage in a great war. Did they really want both tribes to perish together?

  Of course, Yun Zhongzi didn't have any mood to say anything more to the people of the two tribes at this moment. He directly appeared under the Heavenly Cave and instantly took out the Twelve Tribulations' Black Lotus Rite, filling in the large hole on top of Mount Buzhou.

  Although the Nine Heavens' turbulent waters no longer fell, it was clear that Yun Zhongzi had underestimated the ferocity of the Nine Heavens' turbulent waters. In just an instant, Yun Zhongzi felt his internal energy depleted, and with a bitter smile, he directly swallowed several pellets of medicine. As he recovered his internal energy, he used the Black Lotus to block the large hole. Although Yun Zhongzi felt extremely uncomfortable, he wasn't particularly worried about his own safety, because he knew that Nüwa would come to repair the heavens.

  As expected, just a moment later, the six saints arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Cave, only to see that Yun Zhongzi had already sealed it up. They all felt a sense of regret and were speechless towards Yun Zhongzi. In their opinion, no matter what big event occurred, Yun Zhongzi's presence was always necessary. Especially for Tong Tian, the leader of the Tong Tian Sect, he felt somewhat headache-inducing towards his own disciple. Ever since Yun Zhongzi joined his sect, several major events in the Hongyuan had all been connected to Yun Zhongzi. Of course, Yun Zhongzi also gained a lot of merit from these events. Just like this time, it was another two great achievements.

  Tongtian Sect Master couldn't help but feel satisfied with Yun Zhongzi, especially seeing that he had already reached the late stage of Daluo Jinxian's cultivation and would soon be able to advance to Quasi-Saint.

  Yuanshi Tianzun's face didn't look too good, after all it was he himself who had refused Yun Zhongzi at the door back then.

  Nüwa felt slightly surprised and smiled at Yunzhongzi.

  And the bitter expression on her face became even more intense, Yan Ti's complexion was also not good-looking, with a jealous look in his eyes, and there was also a mixture of hatred, this was naturally the reason why Yun Zhongzi saved Hongyun last time.

  The old man merely furrowed his brow, seeing Yun Zhongzi struggling in the clouds. Before others could react, he swiftly waved his hand, drawing a Taiji diagram and said, "Leave it to me!"

  "Thank you, Master!" Cloud Middle Child put away the Twelve Products of the Black Lotus after destroying the world. He first bowed to Laozi and then saluted other saints, "Greetings, teachers, Second Master..."

  The other five saints saw this, and their faces showed a helpless expression. Indeed, the great master brother was one step ahead of everyone else in everything. Although Yun Zhongzi had already blocked the Nine Heavens' turbulent water earlier, he could only hold on for a moment after all. With just this little bit of time, how much merit could be divided?

  Yun Zhongzi stood behind the Tongtian Sect Master after meeting a few saints, and what happened next had nothing to do with him. However, Yun Zhongzi's gaze turned to the two tribes of witches and demons, who also quieted down at this moment, all staring at the saints. Yun Zhongzi noticed that Gonggong's face showed some fear, apparently he already knew that he had made a big mistake. Originally, he wanted to knock down the Heavenly Court from Mount Buzhou, but unexpectedly, he ended up making a hole in the sky.

  Laozi said, "The heavenly pillar has collapsed, and the heaven and earth are unstable. We should repair this sky!" Although the Taiji diagram can block the nine heavens' turbid water from falling down again, it's not a long-term solution. The only way is to repair this sky. Laozi doesn't want to keep his Taiji diagram here forever.

  "Hmm, what Master said is indeed correct, but this thing to repair the sky is not easy to find." Yuan Shi Tian Zun echoed, while pointing out the key point.

  The other saints all looked embarrassed and tried to repair the hole in the sky, but it was indeed not something that could be fixed with ordinary materials.

  At this time, Nüwa said, "I have in my hand the five-colored stone obtained from the Panbao Rock, which should be the best material for mending the sky. Unfortunately, I don't have a tripod furnace to refine the five-colored stone."

  The Five-Colored Stone is a pre-heavenly object, and ordinary tripods cannot refine it in the slightest. To refine the Five-Colored Stone, one would need at least a tripod that is also a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, but even among the Five Saints, there isn't such a tripod.

  "In the end, Laozi said helplessly, 'It seems like I have no choice but to go find a teacher.'"

  The crowd had yet to take action, when suddenly an object flew in from the sky and landed in Nüwa's hand. At the same time, Hongjun's voice also rang out, "This tripod will be temporarily kept by you!"

  Nüwa was delighted and took over the tripod furnace. She directly threw the five-colored stone into the tripod furnace and began to refine the material for mending the sky.

  While several other saints had different expressions on their faces, Laozi's expression was calm and indifferent, as if nothing mattered to him.

  Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes flashed with a hint of unshed tears, his face gloomy as he stood aside.

  Jie Ying's face was even more miserable than before, and Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy for him.

  Jealousy was written all over her face, with a pair of eyes bulging bright red;

  The Tongtian Sect Master had a look of regret on his face, but he didn't say anything. He looked at Nüwa with a jealous expression, then gazed at Yun Zhongzi in the clouds and shook his head helplessly without speaking.

  After a total of 9,999 days, the goddess Nüwa finally refined the five-colored stones into five-colored divine stones and used them to repair the holes in the sky. In the end, she had one piece of five-colored divine stone left in her hand, which she casually threw away without knowing where it landed, but unexpectedly brought about a cause-and-effect chain reaction.

  Others didn't notice, but Quan Ti's eyes rolled around in circles, seemingly thinking of something.

  Yun Zhongzi was slightly stunned when Nüwa threw out the five-colored divine stone, he knew that Sun Wukong in Journey to the West was transformed from a five-colored divine stone refined by Nüwa, so he secretly remembered the general direction of this five-colored stone, then looked at several saints.

  In this way, Yun Zhongzi saw the expression of Zhunti in his eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled faintly on his face, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.

  Although the sky has been repaired, Laozi furrowed his brow and said, "The sky may have been mended, but it lacks the thing that supports the sky; heaven and earth are still unstable."

  Nüwa said, "In the North Sea there is a divine turtle, its four legs can be used as pillars to hold up the sky, I will go and fetch it."

  Nüwa originally belonged to the demon tribe, so she naturally understood the affairs of the demon tribe, and thus knew about the North Sea Xuanwu Turtle. The other few saints did not pay attention to this matter, so this merit was deservedly obtained by Nüwa.

  Nüwa went to the North Sea, beheaded the Xuanwu turtle, and left only a wisp of its true spirit to enter reincarnation. Nüwa obtained the four limbs and placed them in the four cardinal directions to support the eight extremities of heaven and earth.

  The corpse of that turtle was left in the north by Nüwa, and later rotted, causing all the land on that continent to be polluted with poisonous fog and miasma.

  The repair of the sky is complete, and all the saints have gained some merit. Among them, Nüwa has gained the most, Laozi's gain is slightly less than Nüwa's, while the other four saints have only gained a little bit, not even as much as Yunzhongzi.

  Among the human race, because of their contributions to protecting the human race, Zhenyuanzi, Xuandu and many other disciples of Qizhen, including Duobao, all received a share of merit. Of course, this merit naturally included Yunzhongzi's as well.

  Yun Zhongzi was on Mount Bu Zhou, but he had two merits that were being taken away from him. He looked at the accurate face skin and jumped straight up, it's really enviable!
