Protecting the Human Race

  Nüwa proved the Tao of Heaven's Primordial Chaos, achieving the honor of a sage. The calm and vast expanse was suddenly stirred up. This is the first sage after Hongjun Daozu, with extraordinary significance for many powerful beings in the Primordial Chaos. It proves the correctness of Hongjun Daozu's method of proving the Tao. Nüwa's merit of creating humans and proving the Tao also made many powerful beings think they had found the direction to prove the Tao, stirring up another wave in the Primordial Chaos.

  Kunlun Mountain cave, outside the thatched cottage, Laozi, Yuanshi and Tongtian stood in a row, gazing towards the direction of Mount Zhou. There was a hint of envy in their eyes, but more was a tinge of regret. After a long while, the three let out a sigh in unison, left the cave, mounted colorful clouds and departed into the void.

  Mount Sumeru was less the eight merits pond of Jinlian, Jieyin and Zhunti stood facing each other, Jieyin's face showed a look of bitter sorrow, while Zhunti's face showed envy. Before long, both of them also sighed in unison and rode on clouds to depart into empty space.

  In the far west of the vast wilderness, above the bloody sea, a Taoist in a green robe with two swords on his back, emitted scorching light from his eyes and rushed towards the sky.

  Wanshou Mountain, Zhou Mountain, ...... one after another, figures rose into the sky.

  At the foot of Bu Zhou Mountain, Xun Daozi's face had regained its calmness, and he stood silently waiting for Tian Nu to finish her testimony.

  After a while, the female goddess slowly descended and stood in front of Xun Daozi. Her body emitted an mysterious and inexplicable aura, vast and magnificent.

  Xun Daozi hastily bowed his head and said: "Congratulations, Master Shu, on your ascension to the mixed yuan, with a sacred age without borders!" Xun Daozi had an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart at this time, unwilling to bow to the newly born Nüwa Holy One, but only bowed his head as a courtesy.

  Nüwa saw Xún Dào Zǐ bowing his head, but she didn't think it was strange. Instead, she smiled and waved her hand, saying: "No need to be so polite, being able to prove the mixed origin of the universe is all thanks to your help. I owe you a favor."

  Xun Daozi hastily said: "This is the master's own destiny, and I am just a coincidence. Even if I were not here, the master would still be able to attain enlightenment, how dare I let the master thank me!"

  Nüwa said no more about this matter, but instead said: "I now wish to go to the void and open up a Taoist temple. Are you willing to follow me to take a look?"

  Xun Daozi was overjoyed when he heard the news. The saint's opening of the Taoist temple was like a mini-opening of heaven, where one could see the most fundamental marks of the Tao. Not everyone could witness this. He himself wanted to go, but thought that by the time he arrived at the outer void, the cucumber dish would have gone cold. Unexpectedly, Nüwa was willing to take him there to take a look.

  At this moment, Xunzi hurriedly bowed and said: "It is what I have always wished for, I dare not ask for it!" His face showed a look of gratitude.

  Nüwa saw Xún Dàozi being very serious, with an inexplicable look of gratitude, she smiled slightly, waved her long sleeve, and a ray of light flashed by. In an instant, Nüwa and Xún Dàozi disappeared from the foot of Mount Buzhou, along with the large tripod and calabaza waistband on the ground; only a group of bewildered newborn humans and two abandoned strange beasts were left behind.

  Xun Daozi only felt a flash of auspicious light, and what he saw in front of him was already the intersection of the vast expanse of Honghuang and the primordial chaos. In this void, there were rampant airflow, violent fire winds, destruction, and rebirth. At this time, Xun Daozi, who was by Nuwa's side and protected by a ray of auspicious light from her body, even though he had already set foot in the realm of Daluo, looked on with trepidation.

  Xun Daozi's heart was also secretly shocked by the ability of Tian Dao Hunyuan Realm. From Honghuang Not Week Mountain to this void, it only took a thought, and even with his own master Da Luo Jinxian Realm's cultivation from Honghuang to this void, he feared it would take no less time. No wonder they say that all beings below the saints are just ants.

  Nüwa stood silently in the void, as if waiting for something.

  Xun Daozi stood beside him without speaking, gazing at the empty scene for a while before sinking his mind into his two precious objects.

  The gourd vine belt was now tied around Xun Daozi's waist, and it had a mysterious aura flowing through it, emitting a faint yellowish-black color. Xun Daozi felt that there were many new mysteries to be discovered, but he needed to explore further to find out the new uses.

  At this moment, the 'Dry Pot' that was slowly rotating in the dantian remained unchanged. However, Xun Daozi discovered a thin layer of mud at the bottom of the pot, emitting a rich aura and shining with a faint golden light. This made Xun Daozi extremely excited, as it was definitely something good. He activated the 'Dry Pot' to collect the thin layer of mud from the bottom, which turned out to be a considerable amount. Xun Daozi stored it in an independent space within the 'Dry Pot'. In another space within the 'Dry Pot', he found a large cluster of Gong De Xuan Huang Qi. Xun Daozi didn't touch it and simply withdrew his mind. Once again, he gazed at the chaotic void in front of him.

  It was unknown how long ago, a light suddenly burst forth in the void, rushing straight towards Nüwa, seeking the whereabouts of her son.

  Before long, the light had already arrived in front of Nüwa and Zidu.

  Xun Daozi took a look and found that it was his own master and two other masters, so he hurried forward to pay his respects.

  Yuanshi saw Xun Daozi come to pay his respects, and he smiled slightly, beckoning him to stand beside him. Tongtian laughed and said, "You young man have good fortune!"

  Immediately, the three old men bowed their heads to Nüwa and said: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist, on achieving the mixed yuan and becoming a saint!"

  Nüwa thanked them and said: "Thank you three Taoist friends for coming to attend the ceremony!"

  After bowing, everyone stood silently again.

  Then Hongjun and other powerful people arrived one after another, each paying their respects and congratulating Nüwa.

  All the powerful beings who could arrive in the vast expanse had already gathered, and Nüwa stepped forward, holding up her two pre-heavenly spiritual treasures - the Mountain and River Sutra and the Red Tassel Ball.

  Two treasures shone brightly in the void, emitting a vast and majestic aura that shocked even the great powers of the Primordial Chaos to their core. They couldn't believe that these Pre-Heavenly Spirit Treasures had such power in the hands of a Saint who had achieved the Unity of All Things.

  Only to see the goddess Nuwa pointing her hand, that bright red embroidered ball emitted a dazzling light and rushed towards the depths of the void where it met with chaos.

  A fierce explosion shook the void, and the impact was a million miles away. The red ball was also constantly colliding with the void at the intersection of chaos.

  A string of intense explosions, mysterious and unpredictable Dao marks appeared in the void, intertwined with mysterious and inexplicable trajectories. The fierce and violent earth, water, fire, and wind rampaged in the void of that intense explosion.

  Nüwa pointed her hand again, and the Mountain and River Map flew towards that place. The water, fire, and wind that ravaged the void suddenly emitted billions of miles of light, and the ravaging earth, water, fire, and wind slowly subsided. The intense explosion also gradually stopped, and a large continent gradually took shape in the void. Two pre-heavenly spiritual treasures hovered above the continent, emitting billions of miles of light.

  Nüwa's hands struck out one after another, and the vast expanse of land in the void gradually solidified, stretching for billions of miles. Gradually, mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, grasslands, and all sorts of rare flowers and herbs came into being, as well as flying birds and running beasts. In the center of the continent, a magnificent palace rose from the ground, with a huge plaque above the main gate bearing three large characters that seemed to have been imprinted by the tracks of the Tao - "Nüwa Palace". The entire continent was shrouded in an inexplicable aura, emitting a mysterious and mystical energy.

  A magnificent and desolate landscape that can make one feel enchanted, the intricate and intertwined Dao marks and trails bring no small gain to the viewer, except for just watching a free fireworks display by the Seeker of the Way.

  After a while, all the great talents woke up from their epiphany and came forward one by one to thank Nüwa for giving them such an opportunity.

  At this time, Emperor Jun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng were not in the mood. They had personally witnessed Nüwa's power after her ascension to the throne. The three of them felt suffocated and couldn't bear it. Nüwa's cultivation was inferior to theirs, and what she gained from the series of events in the Youzhu Tian Ting was also less than theirs. Yet, Nüwa had become a saint by creating the new species 'human' in this vast wilderness, which made the three of them feel even more resentful.

  After all the powerful ones thanked Nuwa, Nuwa said: "From now on, I will reside in the Palace of Nuwa, and no longer roam the vast expanse. If you have any matters, come to the Palace of Nuwa to find me." After finishing speaking, a flash of light appeared, and she was gone.

  The crowd of powerful ones saw Nüwa leave, and after exchanging greetings with each other, they returned to their respective places in the vast wilderness to ponder what they had gained from this ceremony.

  Xun Daozi also followed Yuanshi and the other two back to Mount Kunlun.

  Laozi was sitting in his thatched cottage with four people on a mat, when Tongtian asked: "How did you little guy get together with Nüwa?"

  Xun Daozi devoted himself to introspection, but couldn't break through the last barrier. Feeling anxious, he went to the Wilderness of Honghuang to clear his mind. As he strolled along, he arrived at the foot of Mount Nüzhou and saw Nüwa deep in thought. He approached her, paid his respects, and asked about her concerns. Nüwa explained her confusion, and Xun Daozi inadvertently enlightened her (Xun Daozi repeatedly emphasized that it was unintentional). Nüwa created humans and obtained great merit from Heaven, which allowed her to achieve enlightenment and become a saint. Xun Daozi's "Dry Qian" and gourd waistband also gained some merit and essence of the primordial energy. As for himself gaining not a small amount of merit and essence, Xun Daozi didn't mention it. The purple vortex that absorbed the essence was something he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply chose not to say anything about it.

  After finishing speaking, he handed over the calabaza waistband and 'Qiankun Ding' to Laozi and the three of them looked at it.

  Tongtian held the gourd vine waistband in his hand, took a closer look, and muttered to himself: "Hiss! This band is quite something, if I'm not careful and get tied up, it won't be easy to struggle free! And it's also said to ward off evil spirits! What a great thing!"

  Yuanshi held onto the 'Qiankun Ding' but didn't notice any changes, and saw a look of doubt flash in Xun Daozi's eyes.

  Xun Daozi opened the space in 'Qian Kun Ding' where the Gong De Xuan Huang Qi was hidden, and Yuan Shi's divine consciousness discovered that a large cluster of Gong De Xuan Huang Qi. He was also quite surprised, for he knew the wonderful uses of Gong De Xuan Huang Qi very well. Lao Zi's Gong De Xuan Huang Ling Long Bao Ta was an extremely precious treasure in the vast wilderness, and now Xun Daozi's 'Qian Kun Ding' had a large cluster of Gong De Xuan Huang Qi that could be used to refine extremely powerful acquired treasures.

  Xun Daozi had opened up a space to store the soil with rich creation aura, and Yuan Shi took another look. As soon as he saw it, his face showed surprise, and with his eyesight, he knew that it was the top material for refining equipment, and perhaps something incredible could be refined from it.

  Yuanshi looked at it for a while and handed the tripod to Laozi beside him.

  Laozi took a look and was also extremely moved, handing it over to Tongtian.

  Tongtian looked at Xun Daozi with a strange expression. After a while, he said: "You little guy's luck is too good, isn't it!?"

  Xun Daozi chuckled and told Laozi and the other two about the human race created by Nüwa, saying that humans should be based on the pre-heavenly Tao body as a reference, but with some defects. However, these defects can be made up for through cultivation. It is precisely because of these defects that humans are extremely weak compared to the existing races in the Primordial Chaos. Under the current circumstances where the lifespan of the Primordial Chaos spirits can reach 18,000 years, humans who do not cultivate may only live for a few hundred years.

  Then Xun Daozi took out the "Hunyuan Seal" and "Tiqing Dust", and also hinted that Yuanshi should cover up. Yuanshi saw Xun Daozi's hint, directly took out the "Pangu Fan" to cover the thatched cottage; Xun Daozi looked at Laozi again, and Laozi also took out the "Taiji Diagram" and "Linglong Pagoda", while Tongtian simply took out the "Zhu Xian Sword" and array diagram to cover the outside of the thatched cottage. Then the three of them looked at Xun Daozi with a puzzled face.

  Xun Daozi's face turned solemn as he spoke: "This human race, although weak and feeble at birth, I think it won't be simple. Nüwa Shifu previously seemed to me to have only reached the Da Luo True Immortal Realm in her cultivation, but after creating humans, she relied on the merit of creating humans to suddenly attain the Mixed Yuan Dao. Moreover, my two treasures also gained a lot from this. I think that the demon tribe's Emperor Jun and others exhausted their minds and thoughts, making all sorts of calculations, yet the merits they obtained from establishing the Heavenly Court didn't even amount to one ten-thousandth of this. Therefore, I believe that this human race will have an extraordinary significance in the vast expanse of the Hong Huang Great Land. What do you three Shifus think?"

  The three of them looked at each other, their faces serious, and nodded slightly. The old man spoke up: "You continue to speak!"

  Xun Daozi continued, "When the human race first emerged, they were extremely weak and it was difficult for them to survive in the vast wilderness. I thought of taking this opportunity to provide some protection to the human race, so as to observe whether they have any extraordinary qualities. Can you, Master Bo, Master Fu, and Master Shu, help me verify this through your Daoist arts, so that we can make plans for the future?"

  The three old men listened and immediately fell into deep thought.

  "After a long time, Yuan Shi asked: 'Do you have any specific methods?'"

  "Disciple Xuan thinks of moving the human tribe to a place near Mount Kunlun, so as to observe and protect them closely, and also to be able to invite Master Father and Master Aunt, Master Uncle at any time."

  Lao Zi said: "Just do as you say, what does Shibo need to do, just say it!"

  Tongtian said: "If there's anyone who dares to make things difficult for you, I'll take care of it!"

  PS: Thank you for Mr. M's evaluation and reward; thank you for Xing Guang Yue Ying's reward. Thank you all for your support, I am deeply grateful!
