Primordial Era: Reborn as Zhen Yuanzi, taking control of the underground passage

Chapter 214 Wuzhuang Temple Startles Nuwa and Her Three

Nuwa, Fuxi, Jieyin, and Zhunti traveled together, discussing the Dao and having a pleasant conversation. Before they knew it, they had entered the vast territory under the jurisdiction of Longevity Mountain.

Upon stepping onto this land, the Western Saint keenly sensed its uniqueness.

Compared to the outside world, which is still wild and competitive after being reborn from the ashes, this area under the protection of Wuzhuang Temple is like a paradise, a pure land.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is not the most abundant, but it is exceptionally pure and peaceful, and its flow carries a unique rhythm that soothes the mind and nourishes the foundation of one's Dao.

Looking around, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the streams are clear, and the vegetation is lush.

Deer stroll leisurely through the woods, cranes dance gracefully in the sky, and fish and shrimp, imbued with intelligence, frolic by the stream.

These creatures have pure and peaceful eyes, lacking the vigilance and hostility commonly found in the outside world, and possessing more serenity and ease.

When they saw the powerful deities from the west passing by, they did not panic or flee. They merely watched curiously for a moment before resuming their playful cultivation, as if they were certain that they would not be harmed unnecessarily in this place.

"What a peaceful and serene place!" Nuwa couldn't help but exclaim softly. She possessed the Dao of Creation and was most sensitive to the breath of life.

"The beings here are at peace, their foundations are solid, far surpassing those of the outside world. Senior Zhen Yuanzi has indeed managed this place like an iron barrel, and he is also compassionate."

Fuxi saw the illusory image of the Eight Trigrams flowing in his eyes and nodded slightly: "The Qi and the earth's veins here are perfectly integrated."

It formed an invisible protective barrier, and a profound and inclusive Daoist aura permeated the air, subtly influencing all living beings.

Senior Zhen Yuanzi's mastery of the underground passages is truly unfathomable.

The experiences of Jieyin and Zhunti are even more profound.

They came from the impoverished West and were accustomed to the struggles and suffering caused by resource scarcity.

Feeling the peaceful, abundant, and hopeful atmosphere of this place, it's like stepping from a desert into an oasis. The shock and envy in my heart are beyond words.

"Amitabha," the guide murmured softly, his voice filled with profound emotion.

"If all beings in the West could enjoy the same peace and tranquility as those here, I, this humble Taoist, would have no regrets even if I were to die a hundred times!"

He became even more determined to befriend Zhen Yuanzi and seek a glimmer of hope for the West.

Zhunti also had a keen eye, constantly observing the layout and flow of fortune of this land, secretly noting it down in his heart, hoping to learn from it in the future to revitalize the West.

As they drew closer to the core of Longevity Mountain, the surrounding spiritual energy became increasingly pure, and the invisible Daoist aura grew ever more profound.

When the majestic and beautiful mountain peak, shrouded in auspicious energy like a canopy, became clearly visible, they all stopped their escape.

This is the most basic respect we can show to the owner of this place, the unfathomable senior Zhen Yuanzi.

Fuxi stepped forward, channeling his magical power, his voice clear and respectful, rippling across the Wuzhuang Temple atop Longevity Mountain: "Fuxi and Nuwa of Buzhou Mountain, Jieyin and Zhunti of Mount Sumeru in the West, in gratitude for the guidance and instruction of the senior Zhenyuanzi in the past, have come to pay our respects and humbly request an audience!"

The sound echoed through the mountains, carrying sincere respect.

In fact, as early as when the four of them entered the territory of Wanshou Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and Yin Yang, who were stationed in Wuzhuang Temple, had already sensed something.

Zhen Yuanzi slowly opened his eyes, a knowing glint in them. He smiled at Hongyun and Yin Yang beside him and said, "It is Fuxi and Nuwa from Buzhou Mountain, as well as those two young friends from the West."

Hongyun stroked his beard and laughed, "It seems the good deeds you sowed in the past have now borne fruit. These four young men are no ordinary people; their future is limitless."

The Yin-Yang Daoist nodded and said, "His aura is pure, his foundation is solid, and he is indeed a person of excellent talent and quality."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly, and with a thought, he transmitted his voice to Zhenwu, Emperor, Kong Xuan, and the Golden-Winged Roc, who were cultivating in different locations within the temple.

"Zhenwu, Emperor, Kongxuan, and Golden-Winged Roc, the four of you go outside the mountain gate and greet our distinguished guest on my behalf, then lead him to the main hall."

Upon receiving the message, the four figures immediately put down what they were doing, transformed into four streaks of light, and arrived outside the gate of Wuzhuang Temple in an instant.

Not long after Fuxi finished speaking, the ancient and imposing gate of Wuzhuang Temple slowly opened, and the figures from the west walked out side by side.

The leader, dressed in a dark Taoist robe, had a calm face and an aura as vast and unfathomable as the North Sea. He was none other than Zhenwu!

His steps were steady, and there were faint phantom images of tortoises and snakes coiling around his body. The Xuanwu Daoist aura flowed around him, and his cultivation level was clearly at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Beside him stood a young man in imperial robes, with an imposing presence and an aura of authority over all the heavens—the Emperor!

He walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, his imperial dragon aura solidified as if it were real, and his words seemed to carry the law. His cultivation had also reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

A step behind, a handsome young man dressed in a magnificent five-element feather robe, with sharp eyes and an innate arrogance, appeared – this was Kong Xuan!

Although he had just entered the Great Luo realm, his body was filled with the perfect flow of the five elements of innate energy, and he possessed five-colored divine light within him, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling. His cultivation level was the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

The last one, with a lithe figure, a lively yet slightly arrogant gaze, and the yin and yang energies following him around his body, was none other than the Golden-Winged Roc!

His aura was free and swift, and his cultivation level was at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

The four of them stood in front of the mountain gate, their powerful auras blending together. Although they did not release it intentionally, the invisible pressure and Daoist charm were like four majestic divine mountains, making people dare not look directly at them!

Nuwa, Fuxi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, the Westerners who were preparing to respectfully await the announcement, were shocked upon seeing this welcoming lineup, and their faces showed expressions of astonishment!

They knew that Senior Zhen Yuanzi was a supreme being who participated in the ultimate battle between Dao and Demon, on par with Hongjun, Yangmei, and Yin Yang, and whose strength was unfathomable.

But they never expected that the disciple under this senior would also have such a terrifying foundation!

The cultivation aura of Zhenwu and Dihuang was even a level higher than that of these innate deities who were born with great fortune, reaching the peak of the Great Luo realm!

This is simply unbelievable! You must know that they consider themselves to be top-tier from the start, born as Great Luo Immortals, and have improved even more after stabilizing their positions. Yet, in front of these two, they actually feel a faint sense of being suppressed!

While Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc were of similar cultivation levels to them, one possessed a perfect and powerful Five Elements Daoist Rhyme, while the other had pure and agile Yin and Yang Qi. Their profound foundations and enormous potential were equally astonishing to them!

These are just the disciples who came out to greet us!

Those who have not yet shown their faces, such as the Old Ancestor Hongyun, the Yin-Yang Daoist, and Senior Zhenyuanzi himself, must possess unimaginable strength.

In an instant, the four men's awe of Zhen Yuanzi reached an unprecedented level.

What might have originally carried a hint of innate arrogance has now been completely suppressed, and their attitude has become extremely respectful and cautious.

Zhenwu, as the eldest disciple, stepped forward first and spoke in a steady voice as deep as the earth: "I have come here on the orders of my master to welcome you fellow Daoists. My master, Uncle Hongyun, and Master Yin Yang are waiting for us in the main hall. Fellow Daoists, please follow us."

The Emperor, Kong Xuan, and the Golden-Winged Roc also nodded slightly in greeting, their posture neither humble nor arrogant.

Nuwa, Fuxi, Jieyin, and Zhunti quickly composed themselves and solemnly returned the greeting.

Nuwa said softly, "Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoists."

Fuxi also said, "Please lead the way."

Jieyin and Zhunti even addressed each other as "thank you for your trouble, senior brother," adopting an extremely humble attitude.

Led by Zhenwu and the other three, Nuwa, Fuxi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, with ever-growing reverence and anticipation, stepped into the magnificent Wuzhuang Temple, enveloped in Taoist aura, and headed towards the main hall.
