Chapter Thirty-Five: Nüwa's Enlightenment

  "Bamboo, you can take these twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls and distribute them to the fellow disciples." Zhou Cheng sneered in his heart, aren't they trying to force me? I'll give it to you, let's see how you all look later.

  "This treasure is something I've cherished, and my sect's disciples are few in number. We also don't get involved with worldly affairs or karma, so keeping it would be of little use. Why not give it to the various junior masters instead? It'll come in handy for traveling through the Vast Expanse."

  Bamboo language took over the twelve cloud-light flashing pearls, and saw that inside was a harmonious and natural pre-heavenly water essence, with a misty atmosphere, really a good treasure. With her Golden Immortal initial cultivation, she could recognize that each of these pearls were pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, although their individual power was ordinary, but if there were twenty-four Fixed Sea Pearls, and then using the sect's great method to transform them into twenty-four Great Heavenly Arrays, their power would be extraordinary. This time, sending twelve to others, was enough to set up twelve small Heavenly Arrays, it was a pity. She wasn't blaming Master for not giving her any before, as she didn't leave the mountain, and even if she had taken them, they wouldn't have been useful. Moreover, Master had always doted on his disciples, and not giving them to others, there must be some consideration. So she didn't hesitate, took them over, and was about to distribute them. Since Master said he was sending them to someone, he must have his own reasons.

  "Disciple thanks you, Master."

  Zhou Chengyi took one look and saw that the disciples in the hall were in a great commotion. Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel amused. Just a moment ago, they had been so dignified and composed, chatting and laughing with each other. But now, they were all rushing out together, surrounding Zhu Yu, thanking him on one hand and stretching out their hands on the other, pushing and shoving each other, causing Zhu Yu to become even more displeased.

  "You're all like this, what a joke!!" Although the original intention was to scold everyone, after all, this good thing will definitely be obtained by his own sect. But this time, Zhou Cheng was in trouble. Unfortunately, there were only a few treasures on the Treasure Rock, and the others had no news, scattered in the vast wilderness, who could get them all depended on fate. In comparison, the Dinghai Divine Pearl was quite precious.

  "Alas, Fourth Brother, what's the point of this?" Nuwa let out a faint sigh, seemingly talking to herself, yet also seeming to be speaking to Zhou Cheng.

  Bamboo didn't care, grabbed the pearl and stuffed it into the hands of the crowd who came to grab it, regardless of who got it, turned around and ran back to stand behind Zhou Cheng, this time, however, she was a bit frightened.

  Here is the translation:

  Zhou Chengyi took a look and saw that although Zhu Yu had smoothly snatched away the matter, it was also exactly in line with his intentions. The twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls, Yuan Shi's sect unexpectedly obtained eight of them due to their large number of people, Xuan Du got one, and Zhun Ti and Jie Yin's two disciples, who were squeezed behind by the crowd, easily caught the two pearls that flew out as a result of everyone's scramble. Tong Tian's sect was the most unfortunate, with only Zhao Gongming getting one pearl. Zhou Chengyi saw that Tong Tian was staring at Yuan Shi's disciple who had obtained the treasure, his face turning purple with rage. He was greatly delighted in his heart and wished that Tong Tian would get even angrier, so that their rift would grow even wider. Poor Zhao Gongming should have gotten all twenty-four pearls by himself, but now he only got one, which could be considered a consolation prize. However, as the saying goes, "a humble man is not guilty, but the one who holds the treasure is", without those twenty-three Dinghai Divine Pearls, they would likely lose some of their restraints.

  Everyone saw Zhou Chengquanzhen like a fierce aura, took out the Dinghai Divine Pearl, and in his heart, he looked down on Zhou Cheng even more. Really, you don't know how to plan, if you don't use it, can't you give it to your apprentice? It seems that there is indeed no intention of fighting.

  The old man saw that the gifts had been distributed, and he lightly coughed, saying: "Everyone, let's begin discussing the Tao now. Those who have obtained the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir should quickly take it, in preparation for me to explain the great method of catalyzing its power."

  Several great gods nodded in unison, without saying much. After the few people took the golden elixir, they began to expound their respective Daoist teachings. The teachings of the many, originally mostly transmitted by Hong Jun's Creative Dao, were indeed supreme and subtle. When everyone expounded together, the effect was even better. After all, each person had their own understanding of Hong Jun's Dao, and one family's words couldn't fully express the greatness of Hong Jun's Great Dao. The entire Jade Void Palace was filled with the voices of several people, each with different Daoist teachings echoing back and forth. The sound of expounding the Dao slowly spread out of the Jade Void Palace, causing all living beings on Mount Kunlun to be as if they had heard a bell ringing, their hearts enlightened.

  The sermon didn't know how long it lasted, only to see that the few people who took the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir had tense facial expressions, and their bodies gradually showed a faint cyan glow. The cyan light gradually spread to the top of their heads, forming a large square shape, and slowly churned up, as if they were nurturing something.

  "If not now, when?!" The old man saw the crowd's appearance and immediately used his magical powers to shout loudly, pointing his hand, and a few strands of magical powers entered the top of the crowd's heads.

  A few people with clear light on their heads heard the old man's loud shout and got the help of his magical power, and suddenly their faces relaxed. The green light on top of their heads rolled and gradually intensified, and three white jade flowers of different colors appeared in the green cloud. When the green cloud appears and the three flowers come out, it is the way of the Golden Immortal, which has been greatly accomplished. In the later stage of the Golden Immortal, cultivators can transform their essence, energy, and spirit into three flowers, condensing them on top of the green cloud. When the three flowers are fully condensed and appear, turning white to gold, it is the time when one becomes a Mahayana Golden Immortal.

  Several people among Yun Xiao are indeed the most powerful, with three flowers on their heads already turning light gold, and they are almost at the beginning of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. The others have stopped at the late stage of the Golden Immortal. Two people under Zhou Cheng's door were originally shallow in cultivation, but the three flowers on their heads were the most dim, and they barely entered the late stage of the Golden Immortal. This time, everyone has made such great progress, and the Nine-Turned Golden Elixir is just a catalyst. The greatest help is that everyone has discussed the Hong Jun Great Way together.

  "Under the tutelage of Master Tongtian, indeed the most talented. As for our Hongjun Sect, this time we have finally produced a great Luojin Immortal. I suppose that in the future, even if one becomes an Honorary Sect Leader, it would be only natural." Zhou Cheng looked at Yuanshi's uncomfortable expression and opened his mouth to congratulate Tongtian.

  "Yun Xiao is indeed a good seed." The old man and others also praised him.

  "A mere junior, yet managed to take the lead." Tongtian Lao was overjoyed, his own disciple had indeed brought honor to their sect. However, this time it was Yuanshi who lost face, thinking that even Guangchengzi, the most accomplished of his disciples, couldn't attain the position of Daluo Jinxian.

  "Thank you, seniors." Yun Xiao said with a slight smile as he bowed. Everyone smiled and accepted his gratitude, but Yuan Shi openly turned his head away, humming in disdain. Yun Xiao didn't mind, and directly returned to Tong Tian's side without mentioning it again.

  This time, the lecture has been going on for ten years, and a few people have seen the way and are almost done, so they won't continue. Everyone stopped and looked at Nüwa, as if they knew something was up.

  "It doesn't matter, I can tell all of you brothers too. Just now, all the brothers were discussing, and my little sister has already caught a glimpse of the heavenly machine. The matter of becoming a saint is already clear. However, the heavenly machine is not clear, and it seems to be a bit troublesome." Nuwa's heart was filled with joy and worry, just now the heavenly machine appeared, she had some feelings, but the details were still unclear.

  Zhou Chengyi was shocked, wasn't Nüwa aware that she would be doing some kind of meritorious deed to attain the Dao? This was happening too quickly. After all, he himself was also a big shot from the Pangu era and had previously thought that he would become a saint before her, so he had made those calculations earlier. Now if she were to attain the Dao, wouldn't his previous actions be likely to provoke her? What should he do about this matter?

  "Dare I ask, Nüwa's sister, do you know what to do after all?" Zhou Cheng was uncertain and wanted to confirm.

  "The little sister really doesn't know, it seems to be related to the spirits between heaven and earth. As for how, I'm not clear yet, I still need to go back and meditate on it." Nüwa was quite close to this fourth senior brother, he didn't seem as arrogant as Sanqing, nor as cruel as Dong Huang, nor as hypocritical as Jieyin, nor as pedantic as Zhenyuanzi.

  "Ah, my junior sister has gained some insight, which is a good thing. She should continue to ponder and not miss the opportunity." At this time, Laozi had not yet established his teachings and was not revered as a master, without any disputes over interests, he who pursued the Tao of non-action found everyone agreeable. It's just unknown whether they will be able to follow the Tao of non-action in the future?! "We should also disperse now, this time discussing the Tao, everyone should have gained some understanding."

  Everyone bid farewell and left, Tongtian got a great Luojin Xiantu disciple, but only got one Dinghai Shen Pearl; Yuanshuai's door got eight, but didn't have a dazzling disciple like Yún Xiāo. Everyone gained and lost, and returned to the mountain.

  Zhou Cheng wanted to return to Qingqiu Mountain, but he couldn't help thinking about the words Nuwa had just spoken. The method of becoming a saint was not yet fully understood, and he feared that even if it wasn't soon, there would be a breakthrough. What should he do? After much deliberation, he decided to go see his Daoist master.

  He arrived at the Zi Xuan Palace and found a young boy already waiting for him outside the gate.

  "Fourth Brother, the teacher is inviting you." The child led Zhou Cheng in, but Hong Jun did not stay in the Zi Xuan Palace this time, and instead was in the inner hall.

  "I've seen the teacher." Zhou Cheng also didn't pretend, his heart full of worries all written on his face, and he said with a bow.

  "Zhou Cheng, I already know your intention." Hong Jun didn't say much more, always being so direct.

  "I dare ask, Master, is there any way? Nuwa will become a saint soon, but I have no fate."

  "Previously, you came to the Purple Mansion in person to ask for that thing, and my answer was just relying on fate. Since I personally agreed to give it to you, I already knew today. You can rest assured, even if Nüwa becomes a saint, she won't be able to calculate this cause and effect." Hong Jun mentioned Zhou Cheng's previous matter.

  "Very good, very good, thank you teacher."

  "Well, Nüwa is about to become a saint. You still need to contemplate the great Tao and its causes more, and find the way to become a saint as soon as possible." Hongjun didn't speak again, closed his eyes and wandered into the vast emptiness.

  Zhou Cheng saw the situation and had no choice but to retreat. This trip to the Purple Cloud Palace ended up resolving a heart matter for him.
