Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 69 Yuanshi: Has Nuwa gone mad?

"Only in this way can the idea of ​​controlling Heaven, Earth, and Man, and overriding the Heavenly Dao, be realized!"

With this in mind, during one of the eons in which Nuwa attained enlightenment, Taihao did his utmost to conceal the secrets of heaven.

This was done to postpone the opportunity for the Three Pure Ones, especially Lao Tzu's enlightenment!

This is an unimaginable, heaven-defying method. Only Taihao would be so bold. If it were any other cultivator, they might have been blasted into dust by the Heavenly Dao before they even started!

After he finished doing everything, Nuwa also had an epiphany.

However, at the very moment she had her moment of enlightenment, Taihao summoned her from Taihao Heaven.

"Master, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Nuwa asked, puzzled. Her enlightenment was no small matter, so Taihao would not have summoned her unless it was urgent.

Taihao handed the two spiritual objects to Nuwa and then said.

"These are the Primordial Gourd Vine and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Your destiny is greatly related to these two items. I summoned you here to transfer them to you!"

Nuwa suddenly realized and took the spiritual object. She indeed sensed an opportunity on it, which was much clearer than when she first saw the innate gourd vine.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Besides, summoning you is also to ensure you don't miss out on many opportunities!"

"What opportunity?" Nuwa couldn't help but be curious.

Taihao smiled and said only two words.

"Merit!"

"Merit?"

Nuwa was somewhat puzzled.

Because she lacked the Primordial Purple Qi, she couldn't perceive how important what was to the Primordial World, and naturally, she couldn't understand what merit was.

Despite her doubts, Nuwa did not miss the opportunity to grasp the moment.

When Nuwa withdrew from her enlightenment, her laws of creation had been perfected.

A mass of celestial soil automatically appeared in front of her.

Then Nuwa reached out her hand, and the laws of creation enveloped the Breath Soil. She then took out the healing elixir, the Three Lights Divine Water, and mixed it with the former in a certain proportion.

It is unknown how much time passed, but as the light of the law gradually dissipated.

Three figures made of the Breath of Earth gradually took shape.

The next instant, Nuwa softly uttered a single word.

"Freeze!"

The three figures seemed to have been given life, suddenly coming to life, and then bowed to Nuwa from afar, full of spirituality.

As for Taihao...

With the base of these three figures, they had no way of seeing Taihao.

Taihao had no intention of coming out; he watched Nuwa create the human race with a blank expression.

Although he had not forgotten his life with the Taihao people, he did not have any particular attachment to it.

Because compared to his long lifespan, his time as a human was far too short!

So short as to be negligible.

Therefore, he did not have much special feelings for the human race, at most he felt some regret.

I am overwhelmed with emotion at being able to witness the birth of humanity!

Just as Taihao was thinking, Nuwa's hands did not stop. She dipped the innate gourd vine in the Three Lights Divine Water and sprinkled it towards the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Then, countless mud droplets fell and turned into creatures that were no different from the three figures just now.

Before long, the number of these creatures increased from three to three thousand!

At this moment, Nuwa stopped what she was doing, looked at the creatures she had created, and pondered for a while.

As she spoke, the clouds began to gather.

"I am Nuwa, the third disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect! Today, at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, I create a race called... 'Humans'!"

The moment Nuwa placed the character "人" (human) down, peaceful celestial music resounded throughout the primordial world, and auspicious omens abounded between heaven and earth. Strange phenomena such as golden lotuses, purple mist, and Daoist sounds also appeared everywhere!

But what is most eye-catching is the boundless golden clouds that rise in the sky!

At this moment, merit descends from heaven!

This was an incredibly solid and terrifying golden light of merit! It emanated from a golden cloud of merit that almost filled the entire primordial world, and the amount of merit it contained was unimaginable.

Even counting from the beginning of time, the amount of merit bestowed this time is enough to rank among the top.

It is likely that only the merits of creating the world and the merits of Hongjun's enlightenment can surpass this! This shows just how much merit this is!

However, this merit did not all enter Nuwa's body. Instead, it was divided into three parts: seventy percent went to Nuwa, and one ten percent flew to the innate gourd vine that Nuwa used to enlighten the human race.

The remaining 20% ​​flew to Taihao!

"Not bad. With these merits, the Golden Lotus can transform into a supreme treasure! Considering the time, the Pure White Lotus should also be transforming by now!"

Taihao accepted the merits with a calm expression.

It was as if the impending acquisition of two priceless treasures had nothing to do with him.

Taihao, however, focused his attention on Nuwa, lost in thought.

"According to the primordial history, Nuwa's cultivation level should be steadily rising at this moment! Then, with the help of the purple energy, she should directly break through the barrier of the Primordial Chaos Realm and attain sainthood!"

However, Nuwa reacted very differently from history at this moment.

Her realm did indeed break through, and the laws of creation became even more profound, but her cultivation level only stopped at the peak of Quasi-Saint, let alone becoming a Saint.

It's obvious that Nuwa is intentionally suppressing her cultivation level!

She doesn't want to accumulate merit and attain enlightenment!

This move, whether successful or not, has changed the course of the primordial world.

The most direct manifestation of this is the reaction of other purple aura possessors.

East Kunlun.

Lao Tzu suddenly awoke from his meditation, abruptly ending his retreat, and looked into the distance with an incredulous expression.

However, before he could find out the results, Yuanshi and Tongtian rushed over.

"Elder brother, golden clouds are spreading throughout the primordial wilderness, and strange phenomena are appearing everywhere. This means someone has attained enlightenment!" Tongtian said anxiously.

"That's right! My senses are the same! Even the primordial purple energy between my brows is trembling! Elder brother, someone has attained enlightenment before the Three Pure Ones!"

Yuanshi seemed even more anxious than Tongtian.

Because he always considered himself the true descendant of Pangu and was proud of it.

Therefore, in his view, after Taihao and Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones should be the ones to attain enlightenment.

But what happened at that moment was completely different from what he had imagined.

There are cultivators who are even before the Three Pure Ones!

"It's true that merit is bestowed from heaven, but the claim that someone has attained enlightenment is not necessarily true!"

Lao Tzu, with a serious expression, looked intently at Mount Buzhou and continued speaking.

"Judging from the location, it seems to be Nuwa! That is, near Buzhou Mountain!"

"Nuwa!"

The Primordial Beginning and the Heavenly Gate all exclaimed in surprise.

One was unwilling to accept it, the other was shocked.

However, their emotions quickly turned to doubt, and they began to make their own calculations.

A short while later, the two opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

Through the purple aura, they gleaned a clue.

"Elder brother is right, it seems Nuwa really didn't attain enlightenment! She only generated merit!" Tongtian exclaimed.

"And... she doesn't seem to have activated the purple aura! She doesn't seem to want to become a saint!" Lao Tzu said with certainty.

"Haha, she really is..."

Yuanshi suppressed a laugh, feeling incredibly happy. He wanted to use a word to describe it, but was afraid it would be too harsh and unbecoming of his status, so he paused, but the laughter was unstoppable.

In his view, Nuwa was either insane or stupid.

Even saints don't want to be saints?

What else do you want to be?

"Since she's so foolish as to forgo the opportunity to become the third saint in the world, then don't blame us three brothers for snatching it away!"

"And once we attain enlightenment, no matter who stands behind her, she will have to pay the price!"

Yuan Shi thought so.

On the other hand, Lao Tzu wasn't as optimistic as him.

Compared to Yuanshi and Tongtian, he found that his perception of the Primordial Purple Qi was much weaker!

"Why did I sense before that the opportunity to attain enlightenment was related to this matter, but now it's all so obscure and difficult to explain?"

Thinking about it, Laozi frowned and entered a state of seclusion.

Similarly, Jinlin and Zhunti also had their brows furrowed.

"Did Nuwa give up on proving her Dao?"

"How unfair! My two senior brothers are eager to seek the Dao and steadfast in their pursuit of it, so why did she attain enlightenment through the Nuwa opportunity before them? And why did she give up this opportunity!"

Zhunti let out a mournful cry, filled with grief.

It was as if it was he himself, not Nuwa, who gave up on proving the Dao.

Meanwhile, other cultivators in the prehistoric world were also greatly astonished.

However, since they did not possess the purple aura, they could not determine whether Nuwa had attained enlightenment and could only speculate.

The most awe-inspiring of all was the Heavenly Court.

"Xi Huang, Fellow Daoist Nuwa has such good fortune?" Di Jun was shocked and regretted not bringing Nuwa into the demon race.

"Your Majesty, even Fuxi is unaware of this matter!" Fuxi smiled bitterly. He had no reaction to what had happened to Nuwa and was unable to deduce it.

"In that case, issue an order to all demons and spirits throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to investigate why Fellow Daoist Nuwa has attracted so much merit!"

Emperor Jun gave the order.

However, he didn't forget to add something after he finished speaking.

"Remember to be careful. The Witch Clan isn't the main concern; it's a fight to the death anyway. The important thing is not to alert Fellow Daoist Nuwa!"

At this moment, Di Jun was extremely suspicious that Nuwa had already attained enlightenment!

Because the merit that permeates the primordial world at this moment is much greater than that when the Heavenly Court was established more than ten eons ago!

While everyone was speculating, Nuwa had already accepted all the merits.

She glanced at the newborn human, pondered for a moment, then took out the Enlightenment Stele she had taken from the Transformation Cave and said.

"This is the Enlightenment Stele, personally crafted by my master, Taihao Tianzun. Regardless of one's cultivation level, one can gain insights from it. Now, I bestow it upon you!"

"We bow in gratitude to the Holy Mother for her blessings!"

Before the stone tablet was even lowered, all the humans shouted in unison, thanking Nuwa profusely.
