Chapter Thirty-Seven: Nine Heavens Suppressing the Earth

  Nüwa left Qingqiu Mountain, repeatedly thinking about what Zhong Cheng had said: Creating humans is not easy, and good soil is hard to find! It seems that after all, it's still because I haven't found the right foundation for creating humans. But what kind of soil is considered good soil? To create a body with blood and flesh, it must be neither metal nor wood, but earth is the most suitable. However, we also need to find divine soil that can give life to spirits. Nüwa thought about it, in this vast wilderness, where could she find such divine soil? Helpless, she went to the Purple Heaven Palace outside of heaven.

  After Nüwa left, Zhong Cheng knew that she was about to create humans and had a plan. He called over several of his men, gave them some instructions, and then left the mountain.

  Zhou Cheng arrived at the Houzu Back Earth Palace and stopped directly in front of the palace gate, only to see that Hou Tu was already waiting there. It seemed that his Taoist practice had made great progress, and he had already calculated that Zhou Cheng would come.

  "Fourth Brother, what important matter brings you to my Hou Tu Palace this time? Please take a seat and let me play the host." Hou Tu welcomed Zhou Cheng into the palace. She had also gone to Zi Xuan Palace several times to listen to Hong Jun's lectures, so they could be considered as master and apprentice.

  "Did you know that my Taoist name is Qinglian?" Zhou Cheng didn't decline, but instead sat down directly and asked.

  "Qinglian Daozhang? I seem to have heard of it before." Hou Tu listened, and indeed, the fourth brother's Taoist name was Qinglian.

  "One morning, the green lotus arrived, and Hou Tu never bewitched again. Did you ever understand this sentence?" Zhou Cheng continued to ask.

  Houtu was shocked upon hearing this, realizing that she had been foolish. She knew that her senior brother's Dao number was Qinglian, but she hadn't thought to connect them together. "Thank you, Senior Brother, for what you did last time... only..." Houtu didn't care about formalities and actually bowed down to thank Zhou Cheng. After her cultivation advanced, she already knew that she was no longer a true ancestral witch, meaning she had obtained a yuan Shen (primordial spirit). The previous sentence had temporarily not been understood, but this time it was completely clear.

  "No need for such courtesy, speak up. I already know what you're thinking, but it's a pity that love can't help, the Pan Gu Yuan Shen is just this one extra part, there won't be another, your tribe's opportunity is probably...". Zhou Cheng also knew what she was thinking, which was that it couldn't be done and wasn't willing to be done. Otherwise, if all twelve ancestral witches really had Yuan Shen, they would probably have to personally descend into the mortal realm to eliminate this great calamity of the Heavenly Dao.

  "Alas, this is a pity." Hou Tu sighed and sat down beside him. The last time he went to visit Hong Jun, Hong Jun also said something similar. He was afraid that it was only under the deep accumulation of karma that he had obtained the help of Qing Lian Shixiong, and other ancestors might not have such an opportunity.

  "This time I came to help you dispel your doubts and inform you of a coincidence." Zhou Cheng was unwilling to delve deeper into the issue of Zu Wu's original spirit with Hou Tu, so he entered the main topic.

  "Excuse me, may I ask what brings you here?"

  "Last time I gave you that thing, you kept it well, but soon someone will come to ask for it, at that time... just do this and that. I'll give you another thing to help you, so you'll have more grasp on things later." Zhou Cheng said seriously, then took out something and handed it to Hou Tu, "This matter is crucial to your future, don't mess around."

  Hou Tu saw Zhou Cheng being so serious, and she tightly remembered it. This fourth senior brother had previously transformed his body twice to come and help me, this time what he said would not harm me either. "Little sister remembers senior brother's words."

  "Well, you're on your own now. I can only help this much, but we'll settle the score another day." With that, Zhou Cheng saw that things were done and didn't linger, bidding farewell and leaving.

  Nüwa arrived at the Purple Mist Palace, where Da Tong had been waiting outside. They entered together and went into the inner hall. Hong Jun was sitting upright on a cloud platform, and when Nüwa arrived, he opened his eyes and looked at her without speaking.

  "Teacher Sheng An, Nuwa has disturbed you." Nuwa said.

  "Ah, I already know what you've come for!" Hong Jun said.

  "Also, please be kind and instruct Nüwa on how to act. Creating humans is indeed a difficult task. Last time at Qingqiu Mountain, Fourth Brother only said that creating humans was not easy, and good soil was hard to find." Nüwa paused for a moment, "May I ask, teacher, what is meant by 'good soil'?"

  "What Zhou Cheng said is indeed true. Before the creation of heaven and earth, in the midst of chaos there was a piece of land, which was the Nine Heavens' resting soil. This soil was the pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, with no other use, yet it contained the Dao of creation and transformation, with the function of creating and transforming. Taking it as the foundation, it can create and transform a new generation of living beings, truly the best land for creating humans."

  "The disciple is about to create a human being, and I beg the teacher to bestow it." Nüwa thought that since her teacher was so formidable, if she was so clear about this thing, then she must already have it.

  "Wrong, wrong! Although this thing is mine, it's not here with me." Hong Jun also knows how to be mysterious...

  "Please, teacher, speak clearly."

  "This thing has been obtained by the Hou Tu of the Wu tribe. If you want to create a saint, you must go through this one pass. It is impossible to take back Xi Ran, remember not to use force." Hong Jun reminded him that the day of the great war between the Wu and the Yao had not yet arrived, so as to prevent Nu Wa from taking risks and making a big mistake.

  "Thank you, Master. I will take my leave." Nuwa's heart was filled with a mix of joy and worry. She was joyful because now that she knew what was needed to create humans, there was a way to search for it; but she was worried because the nine-day-old soil was in the hands of the ancestor of the witch tribe, who were arch-enemies of her own tribe. Although she had not had much entanglement with the witch tribe and their karma was not deep, they were after all from different camps, and this matter would be difficult to resolve.

  Nüwa weighed the pros and cons, since the Nine Heavens' soil was already in Hou Tu's hands, it had become a fact. The teacher also didn't allow forced snatching, so she could only swallow her pride and go to Hou Tu's place to beg. Perhaps Hou Tu didn't know how important this thing was, considering that he hadn't troubled the witch tribe much before, he might grant her request.

  Nüwa arrived at the Hou Tu Palace, but saw a great witch already waiting outside the door. Seeing that she had come, the witch only said: "Your Majesty has an invitation!" Nüwa was suddenly surprised, this witch tribe that doesn't cultivate yuan Shen can also predict heavenly secrets? This trip to the witch tribe seems to be difficult.

  This ancestral temple, as one of the witch emperors, Nüwa came for the first time, seeing the elegant decoration in the temple, and secretly sighed that the character of the ancestral witch was hard to come by.

  "Nüwa, what brings you to my Hou Tu Palace this time?" Everyone was still in a standoff between witches and monsters. Although Hou Tu was kind-hearted, he also knew Nüwa's intentions, but pretended not to know.

  "Nüwa heard that Niangniang had something in her hand, which was the nine-day-old soil. This time, my sister needs this thing to do something." Nüwa looked at Tudi with a cold expression, but didn't make a big deal out of it. After all, she was the one seeking help, and as an enemy, not being directly driven away was already good enough.

  "Nine Heavens, Soil Breath? How did you know?" Hou Tu feigned surprise.

  "Goddess, this thing is of great importance to me. I beg of you, goddess, to grant me a favor. In the future when the witches and demons fight, I will spare your life." Nuwa saw Hou Tu's awkward expression and could only directly state her conditions.

  "Nüwa, you don't have to be evasive either. I knew you were looking for this thing because you wanted to create humans. It's a good idea for the younger sister, and it would be a blessing for the vast wilderness, but... if Zhou Cheng hadn't informed me ahead of time, I'm afraid I would have agreed directly."

  "The Queen has some requirements, but please speak directly. I'm seeking this object for the sake of creating humans." Nüwa didn't hide it anymore, only wondering how Hou Tu knew about it.

  "The nine heavens and the earth were given to me by a strange person, who once said that this land would have great opportunities for me in the future, great cause and effect, and great merit. This time I gave it to you, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of damaging my aura, as the ancestor witch, even the aura of our witch tribe will be damaged." Hou Tu replied directly according to Zhou Cheng's words.

  "It's not unreasonable." Nüwa listened and agreed, if this breath was important to herself, it should be important to others as well.

  The two fell into silence. Nüwa didn't know how to get the Xirang, and Houtu didn't know how to fulfill what Zhou Cheng, the fourth senior brother, had said. Nüwa couldn't help but think that since this thing was closely related to both of them, how could it be done in a way that would satisfy everyone, so as to smoothly carry out the task of creating humans and becoming saints? One was for achieving sainthood, and the other was for great opportunities and great cause and effect in the future. Both were important matters, and neither could be easily given up.

  Houtu saw that Nüwa didn't say anything, and in her heart she wasn't sure about what Zhou Cheng had said earlier. Could this really be done? Nüwa creating humans was a good thing, but since Shifu Zhou had spoken earlier, she should be cautious and not easily agree.

  Nüwa sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't create humans, and I won't become a saint." She then turned to Hou Tu and said, "Since this thing is closely related to you and me, that girl will also understand. I'll give this thing to you in exchange, and it will settle the karma of the nine heavens' soil and dust entanglement." As she spoke, she took out an object and handed it to Hou Tu.

  Houtu took a look and suddenly sighed, saying that Shixiong was indeed clever and resourceful, and the matter was settled. Immediately afterwards, he also replied: "It's okay, this Tian Di Xuan Huang Ling Long Pagoda is also a great cause and effect, a great opportunity, exchanging it for the Nine Heavens Xi Ran Cheng Sheng treasure, it's also appropriate." Then he went forward to collect the Xuan Huang Pagoda.

  "This tower was easily knocked down, thanks to the help of Fourth Brother under certain circumstances. This time, with this Saintly object, both you and your sister are delighted." Nüwa also knew that Hou Tu had personally seen Xuan Huang Tower being kicked by Zhou Cheng, so she spoke straightforwardly. "What you said earlier, Sister, is indeed true - unless the two families are in a life-and-death struggle, I won't intervene."

  "Wishing you an early sainthood, little sister."

  Nüwa bid farewell to Tu Di and returned to the mountain to prepare for creating humans without mentioning it.

  Chapter 1

  Recently, someone scolded Xiaoyu, saying that what he wrote was incorrect. Of course, if you have an opinion, please speak up and clearly point out the problem. However, some issues I've already mentioned countless times. For example, the matter of several quasi-saints taking in disciples. Chapter 15 has a detailed introduction, and I've also replied to book reviews countless times.

  Also, I want to say that my intention in writing this book is to create something different, to highlight the differences, not just to write a book that allows everyone to review and reminisce about the old Honghuang Wen. I hope you can all understand me. As for those who say my writing is bad, I hope that after scolding Xiaoyu, you will go read the works of those great authors like Fantian and San Shao, they are indeed much better than me. If a book is good, then vote for it, if it's not good, then criticize it a bit, what has Xiaoyu done to wrong everyone? In fact, Xiaoyu also understands that many people, especially high VIPs, have given most of their votes to the great authors, Xiaoyu doesn't even bother to fantasize about it, just let it be, and continue writing on. If no one supports me, then I'll just consider it a draft.
