Primordial Era: From the Creation Lotus to the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 104 Azure Lotus, Nuwa Discusses the Way of Creation

The two then sat down in the center of the cave under the most lush and ancient innate spiritual root, which exuded a profound Daoist aura, with cloud-like cushions naturally forming beneath them.

At the beginning of her discourse, Nuwa approached it with the intention of guiding future generations, proceeding from the simple to the profound, beginning with the subtlety of creating life, the mystery of the evolution of all things, and even the understanding of the "creative" authority that relates to the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

His words were exquisite, his mouth blossomed like lotus flowers, and the great Dao's teachings flowed naturally. His whole body exuded the Dao's charm, manifesting endless signs of burgeoning life. It was as if countless races were evolving, being born, flourishing, and declining within his thoughts, fully displaying the unparalleled demeanor and profound foundation of a future Heavenly Dao Saint.

However, as the discussion deepened, Goddess Nuwa soon realized that something was amiss!

At first, Qinglian listened respectfully, occasionally asking questions at crucial points. But every question she asked was incredibly accurate, pointing directly to the core, the most subtle, and the most ineffable key to the Way of Creation!

Many of the questions even involve areas that she herself is still exploring.

Then, as Qinglian began to explain her own insights and understanding, Nuwa's surprise grew even greater!

The concept of creation described by Qinglian differed significantly from her own understanding! It wasn't a simple matter of superiority or inferiority, but rather a difference in perspective.

The differences lie in their emphasis and even their fundamental concepts!

He not only elaborated on the creation of living beings, the harmony of primordial energy, and the enlightenment of wisdom, but also shared his own understanding of the earth's virtue in sustaining all things.

The cycle of life and death of all things, the rotation of yin and yang, the rules of power evolution, the opening and closing of chaos and the clearing and turbidity, and many other profound meanings that seem not directly related to creation but actually point directly to the origin and evolution of the universe are perfectly integrated into the Great Dao of Creation!

Its grand and unique structure, its solid and powerful foundation, and its profound and insightful understanding have given Nuwa a sense of sudden enlightenment, inspiration, and a refreshing feeling from time to time!

Especially when Qinglian talks about the views such as "nurturing new life in the ruins of desolation", "creation is not created alone, but also needs to be protected and balanced, destruction is also the beginning of new life", and "all things have their own way, creation is not imposed, but guides their nature, and completes itself in accordance with nature".

This caused Nuwa's beautiful eyes to light up suddenly, and a look of shock and deep thought appeared on her exquisite face, as if she had instantly touched some blind spots and new possible directions in her own Great Dao of Creation that she had never noticed or pondered before!

This debate quickly transcended its initial scope of "guidance" and evolved into a true "debate" at the pinnacle of the primordial world!

The two exchanged words and clashed over ideas, their Daoist principles inspiring and reinforcing each other, sometimes like a gentle spring breeze and rain, nourishing things silently.

Sometimes it is like a thunderclap breaking through the sky, deafening and awakening; other times it is like the rotation of stars and constellations, mysterious and unpredictable.

The various phenomena that spontaneously manifested around her became increasingly grand: beside Nuwa, endless vitality evolved, and the phantoms of billions of races were born and died in cycles, with the power of creation surging and flowing, as if it held the source of life in its hands.

Above Qinglian's head, the Tenth Grade Creation Green Lotus slowly rotated. Where the clear light shone, earth, water, fire, and wind emerged and then subsided. A miniature scene of the creation of heaven and earth and the growth of all things appeared and disappeared. The cycle of birth and death, without beginning or end, was infinitely mysterious and showed even more inclusiveness and evolution!

They were completely immersed in exploring and communicating with the Great Dao, their minds were clear and they forgot themselves and the world around them. The power of the Dao flowed and resonated naturally around them, and they were completely unaware of the passage of time in the outside world.

Within the grotto-heaven, the spiritual energy became exceptionally active and surging due to the profound discussion between the two top experts in the Dao of Creation.

Countless flowers, grasses, and trees grew wildly, then matured and withered in an instant, subsequently giving birth to even more wondrous things from the ashes.

Unprecedented new species, in endless cycles, seem to be vividly and exhilaratingly depicting the history of species change and evolution in the primordial world at a speed a billion times faster.

In the primordial era, time is immeasurable. This debate has lasted for an unknown period of time; perhaps only a few days, or perhaps several years have already passed.

While Qinglian and Nuwa were discussing the Dao deep within Buzhou Mountain, their minds were pure and their spirits clear, their paths intertwined only by the Dao itself—

On the primordial land, the conflict between the witches and demons, which had accumulated for hundreds of millions of years, and the bowstring stretched to its limit, finally snapped with a "bang"! It erupted in full force!

The trigger might be a crucial struggle for innate spiritual veins, a conflict and fall of the direct descendants of the two sides' high-ranking officials, or a final reckoning that the two sides' supreme leaders had already tacitly approved and were unwilling to delay any longer!

In short, at a certain moment, the last vestige of restraint was completely abandoned! The great battle, without warning yet seemingly destined, began in full force!

At the foot of Mount Buzhou, hundreds of millions of Wu tribe warriors, like a black tide of death, led by twelve towering and fiercely powerful ancestral witches, unleashed a furious battle roar that tore through the sky. Rolling fierce energy condensed into a substantial dark cloud that almost covered the entire prehistoric sky, blotting out the sun and carrying a violent momentum that could destroy everything, as they launched a resolute charge towards the majestic Heavenly Court!

Wherever they went, the earth roared, cracked, and the earth's veins surged, as if the entire primordial continent was making way for them, or as if it was about to crumble under their trampling!

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, before the Southern Heavenly Gate, countless demon gods and generals, clad in armor and armed with weapons, stood in a solemn formation. Under the command of Di Jun, Tai Yi, Fu Xi, as well as Kun Peng, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, and other demon saints, they were fully engaged in operating the Zhou Tian Star Array!

The power of the ancient stars was frantically drawn down, and the brilliance of countless stars reached its peak, pouring down like the Milky Way bursting its banks. It transformed into billions of destructive pillars of light, meteor showers that burned everything, and icy storms that froze the primordial spirit—weaving a net of death that covered the entire sky, and fiercely confronting the torrent of the Wu Clan that swept in from the earth!

In an instant, the world lost its color, and the sun and moon lost their light! The laws of nature wailed, and space collapsed in large swathes, returning to the chaotic forces of earth, water, fire, and wind!

Countless grotesque spatial rifts spread like black lightning! The sounds of fierce fighting, the clash of giant axes and bone knives, the roar of exploding supernatural powers, the howling of falling stars, and the wails of life before its demise—all converged into a tragic and cruel elegy for the primordial calamity that resounded throughout the universe!

The chapter of the Great Calamity has finally been unveiled in the bloodiest, most violent, and most tragic way!

This massive war that swept across the heavens and earth and reshaped the order initially centered around Mount Buzhou and the Heavenly Court, and was extremely fierce.

However, the impact has not yet fully reached the tranquil grotto deep within Buzhou Mountain, which is tightly protected by the innate grand formation, and the two Daoists there who are completely absorbed in the clash of the Great Dao and have forgotten themselves in the process of discussing it.

However, the shadow of war, the pervasive aura of calamity and the fluctuations of slaughter, have begun to slowly and steadily erode every inch of Buzhou Mountain, like icy seawater, approaching that pure land.

Within the grotto-heaven, at the edge of the grand phenomenon arising from the discussion of Dao, a faint, imperceptible glint of blood and ripples from the outside world began to appear.
