Chapter 14 Hongjun Instructs Nuwa
Chapter Fourteen: Hongjun Instructs Nuwa
Through deduction, Hongjun discovered that Tongtian had stayed in the Pangu Palace for ten thousand years. This made Hongjun feel a sense of crisis. In order to prevent his and the Heavenly Dao's plans from being disrupted, Hongjun decided to bring the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao back to their positions ahead of schedule. So Hongjun sent a message to Nuwa, asking her to come to Zixiao Palace and personally guide her on the path to sainthood.
Although Nuwa had become the Demon Queen of the Nuwa clan in Phoenix Perch Mountain and Nuwa Palace, she did not stay in the Thirty-Three Heavens. Instead, she returned to her place of transformation, Phoenix Perch Mountain, and established the Nuwa Palace, her sacred site. Fuxi, who was known for spoiling his sister, followed Nuwa back to Phoenix Perch Mountain.
After absorbing the merits of establishing the Heavenly Court, Nuwa returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain for seclusion. Not long ago, she successfully severed her corpse and became a Quasi-Saint. Before she could stabilize her realm, Hongjun's message arrived.
"Brother, the teacher has sent a message asking me to go to Zixiao Palace," Nuwa said to Fuxi.
Fuxi said, "Since it is our teacher who has summoned you, little sister, you should go quickly. Perhaps our teacher will grant you some opportunities. If that is the case, then your becoming a saint will be just around the corner."
Fuxi also had some knowledge of divination. Although he didn't know Hongjun's purpose in sending Nuwa to Zixiao Palace, given Hongjun's status, he certainly wouldn't make such a statement without reason. Perhaps there really was some kind of opportunity waiting for Nuwa.
"Alright, then brother, please cultivate in the Xihuang Palace. I'll be right back." With that, Nuwa left Phoenix Perch Mountain and headed towards Zixiao Palace.
Inside the Zixiao Palace, Hongjun waited quietly for Nuwa's arrival, with two attendants, Haotian and Yaochi, standing to the side.
At this moment, Nuwa's voice came from outside Zixiao Palace: "Disciple Nuwa requests an audience with her teacher."
"Come in!" As soon as the words were spoken, the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened, and Nuwa walked in, bowing to Hongjun and saying, "Disciple Nuwa greets Master, wishing Master a long and healthy life."
"No need for such formalities!"
Nuwa sat down on the futon and said to Hongjun, "I wonder if Master has sent me here because he has some important matter to instruct me to do?"
"Nuwa, how is your comprehension of the Primordial Purple Qi progressing?" Hongjun didn't keep her in suspense and directly asked Nuwa about her progress in comprehending the Primordial Purple Qi.
Nuwa said, "This disciple is dull-witted. I have been blessed by my teacher with the Primordial Purple Qi for a long time, but I still cannot comprehend it or find the opportunity to become a saint. I beg my teacher to punish me."
"Sigh..." Upon hearing this, Hongjun sighed. Nuwa had gained nothing so far and would ultimately have to be guided by him. However, the path to sainthood was something that saints had to comprehend on their own. Now that he had directly revealed the secrets of heaven, it would have a great impact on him. But there was no better way now. Tongtian and Xuanchu had been in contact. If Tongtian had a change of heart because of Xuanchu, and the six saints could not return to their positions, that would be a big problem.
"Nuwa, you still haven't figured it out. The opportunity to become a saint is related to your mission. You are burdened with the laws of creation. You only need to complete the tasks of creation, and the opportunity to become a saint that belongs to you will naturally appear." Hongjun first gave Nuwa a subtle hint.
"Creation?" Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Nuwa sensed the primordial purple energy within her primordial spirit pulsating wildly, as if the opportunity to become a saint was right before her eyes, yet she could not grasp it no matter what she did.
Seeing Nuwa's expression, Hongjun knew that she still didn't understand, so he continued to explain, saying, "Nuwa, nowadays, the various races in the prehistoric world, especially the Wu and Yao races, are constantly fighting, making the entire prehistoric world chaotic. What the prehistoric world needs now is a peace-loving and non-confrontational race, and that is your mission."
"The primordial world needs a peace-loving, non-confrontational race. Teacher, do you mean to have Nuwa create a completely new race using the laws of creation?" Hongjun's words were practically a blatant statement. If Nuwa still didn't understand, she would truly be incredibly foolish.
Seeing that Nuwa finally understood, Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nuwa, go, the prehistoric world needs you." Then he waved his hand and sent Nuwa away.
After Nuwa left, Hongjun murmured, "She was really too stupid. Fortunately, she finally realized it, otherwise all my efforts would have been in vain." On the other side, Nuwa, who had been sent away by Hongjun, suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she found herself not in Zixiao Palace, nor in Fengqi Mountain, but on the shore of the East Sea.
"How did I end up on the shores of the East Sea? Did my teacher send me here? Maybe my secret is on the shores of the East Sea," Nuwa murmured as she came to her senses.
However, Nuwa was somewhat perplexed about what kind of race she should create next, as she had no idea how a peace-loving, non-confrontational race would operate.
Unable to find a solution, Nuwa had no choice but to send a message to Fuxi, who was far away on Phoenix Mountain, asking him to come and discuss the matter together.
Soon, Fuxi arrived at the shores of the East Sea from Phoenix Perch Mountain. Upon seeing Nuwa, Fuxi asked, "Sister, didn't you go to Zixiao Palace to see our teacher? How did you end up on the shores of the East Sea?"
Nuwa said, "Brother, our teacher pointed out the way for me to become a saint and then sent me here. I have decided that the East Sea coast is related to my path to sainthood, but I can't figure it out no matter what I do. So I asked you to come and help me figure it out."
"Your teacher will personally guide you on the path to sainthood?" Upon hearing that Hongjun would personally instruct Nuwa, Fuxi was overjoyed. Who was Hongjun? He was the representative of the Heavenly Dao. To receive guidance from Hongjun meant that Nuwa's attainment of sainthood was practically guaranteed.
"Yes." Nuwa then told Fuxi everything that Hongjun had told her.
Upon hearing this, Fuxi frowned. From these words, Fuxi understood that if Nuwa wanted to become a saint, she had to create a peaceful and non-confrontational race. However, Fuxi had no idea what kind of race it would be.
Suddenly, Fuxi slapped his forehead and said, "Sister, we're all confused. Since our teacher said this is a completely new race, meaning what this race looks like is ultimately up to you, sister, why are we worrying about it?"
"That's right." Fuxi's reminder made Nuwa realize that since this race was completely new, it meant that she could decide what the race looked like.
At this moment, Fuxi walked to the seashore, looked at his reflection in the water, and had an epiphany. He said to Nuwa, "Sister, the original forms of all living beings in the primordial world are different, but after transforming, they all become innate Dao bodies. This is beneficial for comprehending the Dao and improving cultivation. What do you think would happen if there were a race that was born with innate Dao bodies?"
Upon hearing this, Nuwa walked to Fuxi's side, looked at her and Fuxi's reflections in the water, and murmured, "If there really is such a race, naturally close to the Dao, their cultivation will surely be twice as effective with half the effort. Perhaps I will create a remarkable race for the prehistoric world."
Without further ado, Nuwa picked up a lump of clay and began to mold it in her own image. Soon, she had created a clay figure that looked exactly like herself. Nuwa activated the laws of creation and infused the clay figure with spiritual energy, but the clay figure instantly exploded.
