Chapter 25 - Nuwa: Go Seek Refuge with the Wu Race! The Ming River Strikes First!

Chapter 25: Nuwa: Go Seek Refuge with the Wu Race! The Ming River Strikes First!

Fuxi shook his head.

“It’s not that simple! There are many masters in the world. Even the Wu race cannot monopolize the ability to confront everyone. At most, preserving two lives is the limit, and we must also consider the Dao Ancestor’s perspective. It’s best to assist the originally designated portion of Saints! That way, the Dao Ancestor might turn a blind eye!”

Upon hearing this, Nuwa sighed. “Even so, that would still be quite remarkable. Future Saints who have not yet achieved sanctity are merely duckweed in the tribulation! Since that’s the case, brother, don’t seek refuge with the Yao race. Come with me to the Wu race! The Yao race can’t protect me! Moreover, if you join the Wu race, perhaps you could secure a position for yourself as a Saint. After all, Zhun Ti and Jie Yin are also brothers! The Three Pure Ones are three brothers as well. By then, having brother-sister Saints would be a beautiful tale!”

Listening to Nuwa’s words, Fuxi’s brows twitched violently.

He knew his sister strongly opposed his intention to seek refuge with the Yao race, yet he never imagined she would so quickly want him to join the Wu race instead.

Perhaps there truly were issues of circumstance involved, especially since she herself was a future Saint, which was quite dangerous.

Fuxi felt somewhat helpless.

However, the idea of brother-sister Saints sounded so enticing!

Even though he knew it was impossible, his heart raced wildly.

If it weren’t for a hint of rationality, he would have instinctively wanted to abandon the Yao race, turning instead to the Wu race!

To be honest, the Wu race was powerful, with twelve great masters that were truly terrifying. If given a choice, who wouldn’t want to stand on the side of the strong?

However, the issues with the Wu race were too significant. Even if he sought refuge with them, it would be difficult to gain enough power and respect. That was the Wu race’s Achilles’ heel.

Fuxi sighed and reluctantly rejected Nuwa’s proposal, but he didn’t refuse her contact with the Wu race.

After all, what if?

Besides, it seemed that encouraging the Saints candidate to actively befriend the Wu race was one of the Wu race’s intentions. The difficulty wouldn’t be too great.

Fuxi suddenly realized, his heart shaken.

He didn’t know if he had truly been schemed against or if it was a coincidence. If it was true, then the Wu race was indeed frightening.

Their wisdom and strategy had suddenly advanced to this level.

In comparison, the Yao race truly seemed like a sinking ship.

The Three Pure Ones were forceful but still stable for now. Fuxi and Nuwa had already entertained the idea of befriending the Wu race.

Thus, the most in-dangerous beings in the world turned out to be Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, who were far away on the western land.

Due to their remote location, and since the orthodox great powers of the Primordial Realm did not look favorably upon them, they were in a precarious situation.

At this moment, Zhun Ti and Jie Yin hadn’t even received the news yet.

Some perceptive masters and Da Luo Golden Immortals had already begun to take action.

……..

The Primordial Realm was in turmoil, with hidden dangers lurking at every turn because many great powers and Da Luo Golden Immortals were in motion.

Various methods to disrupt the heavenly mechanisms were in play, whether they wished to avoid involvement, had their own plans, or were hiding themselves.

This caused the entire Primordial Realm’s heavenly mechanisms to be thrown into disarray, turning into a tangled mess.

Such a scene undoubtedly caught the attention of Hongjun, who was in the midst of merging Dao.

Hongjun sensed the unrest in the Primordial Realms and subconsciously calculated using his fingers, matching the Saints’ great power with the Heavenly Dao.

Whether the source was blocked by some powerful masters or even the Ancestors of the Wu, it was difficult to sort out who was causing the chaos in a short time.

But Hongjun ultimately understood everything that was happening.

Then, in that instant, a thought arose in his mind.

“Who exactly has uncovered my plan?”

The cushion for the Saints was something he had long since planned.

In fact, he had carefully selected every candidate.

The Three Pure Ones were transformed from Pangu’s primordial spirit and naturally deserved a spot in the world created by Pangu.

Nuwa was involved in his future plan to control the heavenly land and thus deserved a spot as well.

As for Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, it was purely due to the karmic ties from his own path to sanctity in the western land.

All the spots had already been predetermined.

If not for this, during the first preaching, there would only be six cushions. Even if they did not know the Saint’s positions, anyone could guess the significance. How could Kunpeng easily give it up? Naturally, he was influencing it from the shadows.

As for why he didn’t clarify after the determination, it was simply because the timing wasn’t right.

If he didn’t merge Dao, how could he grant others the Saint positions?

He himself was merely an ordinary Saint when not merged with Dao.

Even if his choices aligned with the heavenly mandate, as long as it was not fixed, there remained a thread of change, making it impossible to settle easily.

He originally planned to wait until the end of the three sermons and his merging with the Dao was successful before he would declare it and grant the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

This change almost pierced Hongjun’s mind.

He needed to know that, aside from the Three Pure Ones definitely achieving sanctity, Nuwa, Zhun Ti, and Jie Yin were all related to him.

If this matter were to be ruined, not only would he lose control in the future, but the consequences in the West would be enough to disrupt his Dao.

Hongjun almost wanted to get up immediately to stop this, but could he rise?

What was being vied for was the cushion, not the Saint position!

The Dao Ancestor of the merging Dao could not directly intervene; that would break the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

He could only wait until the deities arrived at the Zixiao Palace or caused great destruction; then he would have a reason to act.

“Who exactly is it?”

Hongjun frowned once more.

He felt that ever since the affair with the Yao race, everything had been going poorly, repeatedly disrupting his plans.

Hongjun thought for a moment and ultimately felt that he could not let things go on like this. However, before he could think of how to break the deadlock the Primordial Realm below had suddenly changed. Hongjun’s expression slightly tightened as he watched the significant events occurring below.

……..

On the western land, on Mount Xumi.

Zhun Ti and Jie Yin were still building their own territory as usual and gathering many spiritual items and talents to adorn their Dao.

Various innate spiritual qi, plants, bamboo, stones, spiritual springs, and spiritual beasts were distributed and bustling about. Although they were all decent, at the very least, they were all innate items.

However, this was only in the context of the western land, which had been severed from infinite spiritual veins. If placed in the eastern land, even a casual Da Luo Golden Immortal’s cave would be more affluent than theirs.

Zhun Ti sighed. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“The western land is barren. When can we be as prosperous as the eastern land?”

“I thought that by relying on karma to sit on the cushion, I could establish some connection with the Dao Ancestor and change things, but it seems we are no different from others!”

“Older Brother, do you think we really have a future if we continue like this?”

Beside him, Jie Yin, who always wore a bitter expression, calmly squeezed his prayer beads and said,

“Younger brother, do not worry! The spiritual opportunities in the West will surely lead to enlightenment, and this karma will certainly be repaid! In the future, we will definitely cross to the East and obtain great benefits! Moreover, that cushion must be very special; Zixiao Palace has only six positions among the three thousand guests, which shows how special it is!”

Zhun Ti shook his head upon hearing this, gritting his teeth and saying, “It’s not that I don’t believe in Elder Brother, but the days are ultimately quite difficult! If things don’t improve, we might as well take this opportunity when the Dao Ancestor preaches again to play the pity card!”

Jie Yin paused at this and didn’t respond.

Seeing this, Zhun Ti was overjoyed, as he knew that this was his brother’s approval.

However, just as he was about to say something, a beam of blood-red light suddenly burst forth from the heavens above, with surging waves of a vast blood sea billowing behind it. The very fabric of space shattered, revealing an endless blood sea stretching behind.The moment the foul aura descended, Mount Xumi, which had retained traces of celestial grandeur, instantly became ruined and desolate. Countless spiritual energies were tainted, spirit trees withered, and spirit springs turned foul.

Zhun Ti and Jie Yin widened their eyes in shock, erupting in fury.

“Who dares to act so brazenly?”

As soon as their words fell, they saw a powerful figure, radiating an aura that spanned heaven and earth, striding over from within the sea of blood.

The figure laughed heartily, saying, “Since none of you are willing to make the first move, I shall go first!”
